"Annie, pardon me to bring up the facts, but how are you going to figure it
out? We don't have a laptop, we don't have any books, nothing! Face it,
we're gonners!" Clu stated.
"Clu! Relax! We may not have any of that, but we have our minds," Annie replied.
"Yeah, and I think you've lost yours."
"Look, it's the only thing that we have. So we might as well use it. Now just think of something, anything that might stop her."
"How am I supposed to figure that out?"
"By looking around the room and trying to figure out what might be associated with her and then we go from there."
Kainess laughed. "Oh, you two are hilarious. But there's no way you can figure it out. So just give up now."
"No, I'll never give up."
"Aw, how nice. She's never going to give up. Isn't that funny, Max?"
Max stayed silent, which angered her.
"Max?!"
Max looked up at her and started laughing. "Oh, yes, your heiness, very funny your heinous."
"Well, I don't think it's that funny, and I am going to figure it out. And then you have to let all three of us go."
"And if not?"
Annie hesitated a moment. "Then we'll be under your control forever."
"Hmmm. You drive a hard bargain, but allright. I'll give you one hour exactly to try and figure it out, but not one minute later. Understood?"
Annie nodded.
"Allright, come, Max. It's lunch time. Oh, and if you don't figure it out, then it's lunch time for the alligators, too," she said, looking over at Jack.
"Why? Why can't he just be under your control, too?"
"Because, he annoys me the most. Well, Max, we're off!"
Suddenly a huge cloud of smoke appeared, in which they disappeared into it.
"Uh, guys, I don't really feel like being their main course, so could you kind of hurry?" Jack said.
"Don't worry, bro, we've got it all figured out.I think," Clu said.
Jack rolled his eyes. "Wonderful."
"Well, you could help us, Jack," Annie said.
"I'll try, but to you the truth, my mind isn't exactly real clear right now," he replied, looking down at the pit.
"Okay, think, Annie, think," she said to herself. "What could possibly stop her?" **
In the meantime, it was getting closer and closer to Molly's concert, and Molly was going nuts trying to figure out where they were.
"Where could they be? It doesn't take two and a half hours to go exploring. And even if it does, they know better than to be late," she told Irene.
"Look, maybe they got lost. I mean, it is a big city after all," Irene suggested.
"But they've been in big cities, before. This has never happened before, Irene. I mean, even if they don't want to come here, then they could at least call me and tell me. I mean, what if something happened to Jack, Annie, or Clu?"
"Molly, just relax-"
"Relax? Irene, I can't relax! My son is out there and so is yours! Not to mention a young girl who likes to explore weird things, just like Fi did... Just like Rick did."
They both were silent for a minute and Irene put a hand on Molly's shoulder. "Look, I'll call the motel and see if they've shown up, yet. Okay? Don't worry, we'll find them. I've already got Ned out looking for them. So just go do your show, and try to relax."
"Irene, I can't go out there! I can't go out there and sing knowing that-"
"Molly, look, you have fans out there. You can't disappoint them."
Molly sighed. "Fine. But as soon as you find anything out, you tell me, understood?"
Irene nodded. "Understood."
Suddenly they heard the announcer starting to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for Molly Phillips!!"
The crowd cheered, as Molly gave a worried look Irene's way.
"Go," Irene said.
Molly sighed, and put on as best a smile as she could as she made her way out onto the stage.
Irene sighed. "Oh, guys, where are you?" **
Clu sighed. "This is hopeless. We've been thinking for a half hour and nothing."
"Yeah, and Mom's concert just started," Jack stated.
"Aw man, what I wouldn't give to be there and hear her sing, rather then here," Clu said.
Annie's head popped up. "You guys, that's it! That's the answer!"
"Clu! Relax! We may not have any of that, but we have our minds," Annie replied.
"Yeah, and I think you've lost yours."
"Look, it's the only thing that we have. So we might as well use it. Now just think of something, anything that might stop her."
