"Does anyone have any airsickness bags?" Cherry groaned slightly.
"You're fine." Atticus replied.
"There's Pip!" Ralph pointed out.
"Where?" Robyn asked.
"There!" Tom S realized.
"Pip!" Jenny gasped.
Pip was seen going through the wind with his pumpkin in his arms, getting further away from them.
"Why isn't he stopping?" Cathleen asked.
"Because, he's going." Moundshroud replied.
"Where is he going?!" Cherry asked.
"You mean when is he going!" Moundshroud clarified. "About 4,000 years ago! His pumpkin has gone ahead... Or should I say past?"
"Wait, you mean he's going back in time?" Atticus asked.
"You could say that, yes." Moundshroud replied.
"Oh, boy, time travel, I haven't done that before." Cherry deadpanned.
"Uh, is it me or is the moon blinking?" Cathleen asked.
"It's not just you." Robyn said.
The moon seemed to flicker a thousand times and the landscape was somehow changed down below.
"Egypt... But it's brand new!" Tom S gasped. "That means, we really have gone back in time. 4,000 years!"
"Uh-oh, guys; our kite is coming undone!" Patch muffled.
"Of course it is." Cherry grumbled.
They soon hit the sand and were dragged along through the dunes before the kite seemed to had been destroyed.
"Cherry, you can help us get by." Cathleen suggested.
"Huh?!" Cherry asked.
"You do know everything about Egypt." Cathleen told her.
"I-" Cherry said.
"She's right, Cherry, you do." Atticus replied.
"Well-" Cherry stammered.
"So you can help us get through Egypt!" Cathleen and Atticus announced.
Cherry groaned as she should have known this would come back to bite her. There appeared to be a celebration among the Ancient Egyptians which no one had ever seen before... Except for maybe Cherry.
"A-Are those real live ghosts?!" Wally shuddered.
"They prefer to be called spirits." Moundshroud informed.
"They're everywhere." Patch said.
"Are they trying to get into those houses?" Jenny asked.
"True." Moundshroud smirked.
"It looks like they're trick-or-treating." Robyn said.
"This is The Feast of the Ghosts." Cherry told them.
"So, that explains why there's food outside of the homes." Tom said.
"Yeah... Food..." Jerry smiled.
Tom and Jerry then looked to each other eagerly before running off to go and get some food.
"Tom! Jerry!" Robyn scolded.
Tom and Jerry pouted and whimpered with puppy dog-like eyes.
"Guys, that food is for the spirits." Robyn told them.
"Aww..." Tom and Jerry pouted.
"I'll give you both some treats later, I promise." Robyn told her pets.
"Hey, I think I found that Pip kid." Cathleen said as she saw a different ghost among the Ancient Egyptian spirits.
"Oh... Let's sneak up on him." Moundshroud told them.
"Yeah~..." Cathleen smirked to that as she stalked like a wolf from the forest.
Pip soon came to have some food as a mummy sat down, eating his own food.
'Almost there.' Cathleen thought to herself.
"Hey, Pip!" Robyn and the kids called out.
Pip looked to them and soon began to run from them inside of the hut in front of him. They soon came to the hut and pulled back the curtain to see an Egyptian family together.
"Uh, hi." Cathleen greeted.
"Enter, sit, you are welcome." The woman smiled.
"She said..." Cherry began with a small joking smirk.
The group soon came in.
Cherry just smirked before shrugging and following them. "Mut shakkrān." she soon said out of thanks.
Other people soon came in to give them some food while Cathleen was craving steak since it had been a while since she last had food and this food seemed to be unappealing to her.
"I think this might be hummus." Cherry guessed as she picked up the bowl.
"Is it good?" Robyn asked.
"Well, try some and find out," Cherry suggested. "You want some-" she then was about to ask someone who looked like he was rotting and decaying. "Who in the name of Osiris is that?!"
"That's our great-grandfather," The woman smiled. "Don't make a fuss!"
"Uh, why is out of his sarcophagus?" Cathleen asked.
"Oh, he's been dead for 67 years, but once a year during The Feast of the Ghosts, we invite him out to sit with us," The woman smiled as she poured drinks. "Eat."
"Don't you wish we had a custom like this back home?" Moundshroud asked the kids.
"I do." Cherry said as she enjoyed it.
"I wouldn't." Cathleen said.
Cherry glanced as that seemed odd for Cathleen to say considering what they been through in their own time, but she shrugged it off. Wally felt sick to his stomach as he got up and backed up from the jars, knocking them down and himself accidentally before Pip was shown to be hiding.
"Pip!" Robyn smiled.
Of course, seeing them, Pip began to try and get away from them again.
"STAY STILL!" Cathleen nearly growled.
Pip didn't listen to any of them and soon left the hut to get away with the pumpkin.
"Are you kidding me?!" Cathleen complained.
"Well, children, seems we won't have time for dessert." Moundshroud smirked.
The kids soon yelped and ran off from the corpse as it made them feel very uncomfortable.
"That was so disturbing." Tom shivered.
"It can't be worse than being swallowed by a whale or something." Cherry commented.
"That's right." Atticus nodded.
"You guys and your adventures." Cathleen commented.
They began to run after Pip so they wouldn't get left behind and Moundshroud seemed to disappear during their running which made everyone look around and wonder where he had run off to.
"Now where did he go?" Chip asked.
"I found him, Uncle Chip." Robyn said, pointing up.
Moundshroud was shown gliding in the sky with a laugh. "The time has come!"
"I guess we're gonna be traveling for a while." Cathleen commented.
"We sure are." Atticus nodded in agreement.
"You wanted an adventure with Atticus~" Cherry smirked to Cathleen.
Cathleen let out a growl to that slightly.
"Well, adventures can involve a lot of traveling." Atticus said.
"We met Selene." Cherry reminded Cathleen.
"Do I even want to know?" Atticus asked about Selene.
"I'll tell you later." Cherry promised.
They soon ended up out of the streets and ended up in an ancient tomb with many, many hieroglyphics.
"Whoa." Patch said.
"This is invigorating..." Cherry said. "I always wanted an adventure like in those Mummy movies with Rick O'Connell."
"Remember that time in Egypt with Robyn and the Scooby gang?" Atticus reminded her.
Cherry merely gave him a death glare for killing the moment.
"Heh... You know it's true..." Atticus smiled sheepishly before seeing her gaze. "Don't kill me!"
"Hmph." Cherry gave a small pout.
"You guys meet Scooby Doo too?!" Cathleen complained. "Come on, man!"
"And the Grimwood Girls, and those times in Monster High," Patch said. "Oh! And Ever After High."
"AAAAUGH!" Cathleen yelled out.
"Will you CALM DOWN?!" Cherry told her.
"Uh, guys, are those bandages for a mummy?" Robyn asked the others once she saw the bandages on the ground.
"Gauze, Philistine..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Give her a break, she's only nine." Atticus defended.
"Uh, Pip didn't go in there, did he?" Ralph asked as he nervously looked up to a pillar with a face on it that seemed a bit frightening.
"I'm not sure." Patch said.
"Yes..." A deep, ominous voice replied.
"Oh, great." Ralph groaned.
"Who left this here though?" Robyn wondered, picking up the bandage off the floor.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Tom told his owner.
Robyn picked it up anyway, and she and Ralph included both seemed to be pulled away suddenly.
"I knew that would happen," Tom then groaned. "But no one listens to a cat!"
"Quick, we have to hurry or else we'll lose them!" Atticus told the group.
They soon began to run after Ralph and Robyn to go and help them.
"You want Scooby Doo? Here you go." Cherry smirked to Cathleen as they wandered through the corridors.
"This feels like one of those chase scenes." Patch said.
"This doesn't count." Cathleen pouted.
Eventually, Robyn and Ralph ended up in one room and came to a stop from the bandages and they ended up in a pile.
"You... With the mummy wrappings and the mummy face..." A voice addressed Ralph.
"W-Who? M-Me?" Ralph gulped.
The mummy soon held out a hand, showing a marking on the palm of his hand before showing the other with another marking. "Day is killed by night... Summer by winter... Osiris the Sun God destroyed by his brother, darkness!" he then spoke, mysteriously. "The seasons!"
"Is th-that what the Egyptians thought of Halloween?" Ralph asked.
"You tell me!" The mummy replied, removing the face mask, throwing it to the ground, showing a very familiar face of Moundshroud. "Why are you in that costume? Oh, you're a mummy, boy, because that is how folks dress up in for eternity! Surrounded in a cocoon of threads, they hope to come forth as butterflies in some way for the dear, loving Underworld. Do you know your cocoon, boy?! Touch the strangeness!"
"Th-Then everyday was Halloween." Ralph said.
"I wish that could be." Cherry whispered to herself serenely.
"Yes... Every day 'round... Very good!" Moundshroud replied.
"B-But what about Pipkin?" Ralph asked.
"It's too late," Moundshroud smirked. "They're wrapping up his gift to eternity now!"
"Wait, you mean they're turning him into a mummy?!" Robyn panicked.
"See for yourself!" Moundshroud smirked.
Ralph soon rushed off before falling into a chasm which led him down a path and he had rammed against a sarcophagus which had been prepared for the tradition that is mummification and Robyn soon decided to join him. Ralph and Robyn soon stood over the sarcophagus which had a baseball bat, a ball, and a slingshot.
"Pipkin?" Ralph wondered.
"Guys, is that you?" A voice asked from inside the sarcophagus.
"Yeah, it's us, don't worry, we'll get you out of there." Robyn told him.
"I'm fading..." Pip's voice echoed.
"No! You can't leave now!" Ralph cried out. "What about all of our plans? You said someday, you'd teach me how to bat left handed, and you're the only friend, besides maybe Robyn, who's never made fun of me for wearing glasses."
"Learning how to bat left handed isn't so hard, Ralphie." Pip's voice echoed again.
Ralph soon tried to lift the sarcophagus and Robyn offered to help so they could work together. There were footsteps heard and someone seemed to be coming which made them both panic.
"We have to hide." Robyn whispered.
Ralph looked around before running with Robyn to hide away. People soon came for their mummification tradition and lifted up the sarcophagus together and walking off to carry on.
"I think you were cheating." Robyn smirked playfully to Ralph since he was in a mummy costume.
"Yeah, yeah." Robyn smirked in the same way back.
They shared a laugh before frowning.
"What are we gonna do now?" Ralph pouted.
Robyn began to start thinking up a plan and soon remembered what Ralph was dressed as and how they could use that to scare away the people that were mummifying Pip.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ralph asked, a little nervously.
"Don't worry, Ralph, I promise this won't hurt anyone." Robyn soothed with a small smile.
"Um, okay." Ralph said.
"I just hope it works." Robyn whispered.
The people continued to carry off the sarcophagus to carry on their tradition, coming to the room of where Moundshroud and the others had been, and where Robyn soon put her plan into action.
"I hope this works, Robyn." Ralph frowned.
"Don't be a worrywart." Robyn told him.
Ralph cleared his throat and soon moaned like he was an actual mummy as he wandered out which spooked the Egyptians as they set Pip's sarcophagus down on the floor.
'Wow, they really think he's a real mummy.' Atticus thought to himself.
The people panicked, dropping the sarcophagus upon seeing Ralph and it opened up to show the ghost boy.
"Come along, Pipkin, you've had your fun." Moundshroud called as Ralph scared off the people.
"Run! He's going to haunt you!" Robyn acted.
The people were way ahead of her on that.
"That was very good." Robyn smiled.
"Thanks, Robyn." Ralph smiled back.
"Pip, you okay?" Chip asked.
"I think so." Pip replied.
"Now, you and I have an appointment to keep," Moundshroud told Pip. "Now you must keep it!"
Pip's pumpkin appeared to glow for a bit before he suddenly turned flesh colored and seemed to be turning back to normal, at least for a little while.
"He's almost back to normal." Atticus said.
Then, something strange happened, and Pip was back as a ghost. Moundshroud tried to get the pumpkin, but the wind blew against them, nearly blinding them and Pip soon flew in the air with his pumpkin.
"What tomb has an air vent?" Cherry complained.
Atticus simply shrugged.
"Yes! Find him! Catch him!" Moundshroud grinned.
They soon climbed through the air vent altogether.
"At least now with my work-outs and tonight's adventure, I'll be able to carry my baby niece." Tom commented.
"She can't be that big." Atticus said.
"You wanna bet?" Tom replied with a small scoff.
"Oh, come on, I'm sure she's not that-" Atticus began.
Tom gave a deadpan face before taking out a photograph of a female orange cat with a ponytail with glasses, a dark pink hat with a light pink shirt and skirt with him who was his long-lost sister being forced to carry a very large female brown kitten who was his niece.
"Oh, wow..." Atticus blinked.
"OMG, it's the kitten version of Baby Huey," Cherry commented dryly. "Sorry, Cat."
They soon began to climb up the pyramid once out of the air vent to catch up with Pip before it would be too late.
"We're finally outside." Patch said.
They continued to climb up the pyramid while Moundshroud flew on his own due to his special powers. Pip soon glared before spinning the pumpkin and flew with it, away from the pyramid so that he could avoid them.
"Why is he avoiding us?!" Jerry asked.
"Well, I didn't do nothing." Cathleen huffed.
"PIP!" The kids cried out for their friend.
"How are we going to catch up to him?" Robyn asked.
Moundshroud soon tossed his cape.
"Hey, I remember this..." Chip smiled. "We once used the cape like a magic carpet to ride through time and space."
"Ride a cape?" Robyn asked her uncle in surprise.
"Pip can hide, but we can go seek!" Moundshroud chuckled to the kids.
"You know it." Atticus said.
Everyone soon grabbed onto the cape and they were taken for a ride.
"I feel like that's not gonna be it for time travel." Patch muffled.
Of course, Patch was right as they flew through a smoke cloud that looked like a human skull which engulfed them in the darkness.
