Clank, along with Ms. Gears arrive at the town briefly. Clank was smothered in pink lipstick kiss marks because of his small quarrel. The town was called, Happy, for who the hell knows why. The town was encircled by bright green fields, grazing animals, and children roaming the town without supervision. Clank and Gears met up with Ratchet who was still looking for the Inn. Clank spots the Inn and points it out, they scurry to the inn quickly. Ratchet barges in the door.
The innkeeper was a woman and said, "Hello, do you need a room?"
"Yes, any room! 4 beds please!" Ratchet says out of breath.
"I'm sorry the biggest accommodation we have is 3 beds. On the bright side it comes with a couch."
"That'll work! Heres the gold, take it!" Ratchet says as he ran with Talwyn upstairs. Clank alongside him went up stairs to the room.
"I know who's getting busy tonight..." the innkeeper said.
"Who da hell do you think ya are girl? That girl in his hands is out cold! You think he'd have relationships with a woman unconscious? Well you're a snob, a big fat arse snob!"
"Gurlfriend, please. Don't be talkin' about my momma like that. Gurl." the inkeeper said. Gears and the innkeeper had a big cat fight, and Gears won. She got the innkeeper whose name was Amy unconscious by whacking her upside the head with an a wooden chair. Gears went behind the counter opened the vault and took the gold that was inside. She inspected it and the stash had at least 75 gold. Gears went up the stairs and went in the room.

Ratchet placed Talwyn on the only King sized bed. He safely tucked her in, and fluffed the pillows. Ratchet says, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired!"
"Yes, I am also low on energy." Clank says.
"Well, I guess we should call it a day. And look what I managed to snatch! 75 gold from the vault!" Gears says happily.
"But you're the richest woman I know." Ratchet says.
"After that Nefarious incident, Holostar Studios revoked my licenses. That is why I strip, and steal for a living." she says sadly.
"But, now you've changed, once evil now good, and from riches to rags." Clank says, "You should hone your singing skills, you can do good."
"Yes, but where would I work? Nobody would want to hire a gorgeous robot like me!" Gears says.
"Try the hotel industry, you can always become a hook— Ratchet was interrupted.
"Yes! Sell hookshots in the hotel industry! You can make 1,000 bolts each for those ingenious gadgets." Clank says.
"Yeah, what Clank said..." Ratchet says blushing.
"Aww, you guys are so sweet, I just wanna cuddle you and hug you to death!" she said as she got up and group hugged Ratchet and Clank. Gears let go and told them she was going to go to sleep.
Clank lets out a big yawn and says, "Night, see you tomorrow." He rushes to an empty bed. Three out of three beds were taken.
"Hey! Where am I supposed to sleep?!? Ratchet yells.
"Theres room with Talwyn you know." Clank comforts Ratchet.
"Argh, next time your sleeping with Gears." he say as he got on the bed with Talwyn.
This wont be so bad, I've done this before...

They all fell asleep, little did they know about what was going on around them. A strange black shadowy figure stalks them in the middle of the night. The figure appeared to have dark brown skin, fancy clothes, and wore a tiara. She got on the roof of the small room, and scurried to a window.
The dark figure breaks the glass window, falls down onto the hard wood floor, smashes up the potted plants beside her and tore up the red curtains on the window. They remained fast asleep.
"Phew, that was close.."
But she noticed something disturbing to her. Ratchet was sleeping with another girl!
"Gasp! Ratchet's only ever slept with me! No... wait that was my dream... Okay, just what the frak is going on!?"
"AHH! Who said that!" Talwyn shouts. "Hey— wait I'm alive! Yay! But who is this hobo? Why am I in bed with Ratchet? *Gasps* Oh no, my little speech at that mountain! We couldn't have had any contact like that! "
"I see so you're the hot shot now, rat girl with pointy ears!" the woman says.
"Excuse me? Rat girl with pointy ears? Who do you think you are?" Talwyn asks.
"I was– no I am Ratchet's girlfriend from the Solana Galaxy, and the mayor of Marcadia! Sasha Phyronix!" she laughs.
"Hmm, never heard of you, and haven't you noticed Ratchet's had at least 3 love interests." Talwyn says. "And wait a moment, how the hell did you get here?!"
"Where? Isn't this Marcadia?" Sasha says.
"No we're in a video game genius." Talwyn says.
"What?! A video game? A childish video game!? For little children!?" Sasha yells.
"Yes, Ratchet plays those kinds of games." Talwyn says.
"Stop telling me lies! I'm going to end this!" Sasha pulls out a gun.
"Bring it on you third rate mayor!" yells Talwyn.
"Graagh!! This woman is driving me insane! My love, you're the only one whose ever slept with me besides that one fat yellow jumpsuit nerd! This woman is going to pay for wronging you!"
Talwyn pauses for a second. "Eww what the hell? Did I just hear something strange? Love? Slept with? Yellow fat jumpsuit nerd? Can I read people's thoughts? This just keeps getting better and better..."
Sasha jumps and fires multiple slugs at Talwyn. Talwyn gets scathed by one of the shots. She hid behind a wooden table she turned on its side for protection.
"Too slow." says Sasha. The evil Cazar snuck up behind Talwyn and threw a Fusion Grenade. It was heavily modified, it was not like Ratchet's. Talwyn flies back upon impact hitting the hard drywall.
"This is bad... I can't die here... And why aren't those three awakened by the ruckus!??" Talwyn says.
"Had enough stupid girl? Take this!" Sasha says as she pulled out the N90 Hurricane and fired three shots.
She evades them and picks up a silver platter. Talwyn throws the platter at the ceiling fan above Sasha.
"You missed you babbling son of a----" the ceiling fan wobbled violently, then fell on top of her, and the fan was still active. "AHHHH!" she yells in pain. "Ratchet.... I've just wanted to say... I love—" Sasha was interrupted, because Talwyn stomped on her mouth.

"Let's see what these newfound powers can do..." she thinks as she takes a glance at Ratchet.
Ratchet was drooling all over his pillow, he was sleeping butt up and stuttering about stuff she did not understand. Talwyn first raises the blanket that was on him.
"Good he's still in his clothes."
As Talwyn was still inspecting him she was wondering how her powers worked. She stared at his head and focused.
"Heeheehee. Every page just gets better and better!" Ratchet dreamt.
"That is strange, he is reading!? In his dreams? Oh hell nah, he is reading... EWW GROSS!" Talwyn thought.
The book he was reading was actually entitled, "Lombax Playboy".
"That backstabber," she says as she looks away towards Sasha.
"Hey, are you okay?" Talwyn said as she held her hand out for the woman.
"Yes I am, thanks. Anyways I just wanted to ask how did we get here?"
"The four of us got in here because of Clank's invention gone haywire. Sasha, tell me what happened before you came here."
"I was doing my usual chores on Marcadia, then something or someone knocked me out and when I woke up, I was here. I thought I was still on Marcadia." she explains.
"What disturbs me is how did you manage to find Ratchet?" Talwyn asks.
"I placed a tracking device on his posterior, so in case he is in trouble I'll save him." Sasha says.
"I see, how would you like it if you would join our little quest?" Talwyn says knowing she will regret it.
"No, I can not. Thanks for the offer though." she says as she walked out of the room. "Good night."
"Hm.. What a strange woman.." Talwyn said as she slowly and carefully hopped into the bed Ratchet was sleeping in. Talwyn inspects the clock, it reads 1:19 AM. "Guess it will be smart to get some shut eye."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tip, tap, tip, tap, was the noise of Sasha's boots as she hit the wooden floor while she walked. The Cazar laughs to her self as she is walking down the narrow hallway.
"Little do those fools know what they are up against..."
