CHAPTER 6
At the same time the real Wendy's fun-filled day began, Soos was having fun as well. After playing catch with his luchador father, they had fun at the playground. They took turns pushing each other on the swings and riding down the slides. They then went to the boardwalk and ate at Nathan's, stuffing themselves silly with hotdogs.
They then went to a carnival. While walking around, Soos could have sworn he saw Dipper and Wendy go on the Tunnel of Love ride. But then, he got distracted by the rollercoaster ride. He grabbed his father by the hand and ran over to it. They rode it several times in a row. Soos then forgot about seeing Dipper and Wendy, because he was having the time of his life being reacquainted with his dream image of his dad.
Afterwards, they went to a bowling alley. While there, two huge, muscle-bound wrestlers wearing championship belts approach them.
"There you are, El Topo. I hope you haven't forgotten about our tag-team match tonight." One of them says.
"I haven't forgotten. Me and the Silver Sasquatch will beat you and take those belts as our own."
Soos got a joyful look on his face. The Silver Sasquatch was one of his favorite wrestlers as a child. And now, he was going to see his dad and his favorite wrestler in the ring together.
"Not likely. Take a look in the parking lot. Hope you like the idea of a 2 on 1 match." The other wrestler said.
The two muscle-bound wrestlers laugh as El Topo and Soos rush outside.
Both of them are horrified at what they see. The Silver Sasquatch is lying on the ground, beaten up very badly and bruised all over. They both rush to him and help him sit up.
"Sasquatch, my amigo, are you okay?" El Topo asks.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, my amigo. Help me up, we have to get to the arena to have our vengeance."
The Silver Sasquatch tries to get up, but is too weak to do so.
"You're in no condition to fight, my amigo. We're going to have to forfeit." El Topo says.
"What, and let the reputations of El Topo and the Silver Sasquatch be tarnished? No way. I'm fighting."
The Silver Sasquatch tries to get up again, but can't.
"Please, my amigo. Save your strength." El Topo pleads.
"We need to avenge our honor. If I can't fight, we'll need a replacement to take my place."
"Who can we find in such short a notice?"
Then, they both look at Soos.
Who, me?" Soos asks.
"Yes. Only you can help us avenge our honor. Will you do it?" The Silver Sasquatch asks.
Filled with pride and confidence, Soos says "Yes! I'll be happy to!"
"Excellent! Here." The Silver Sasquatch says as he takes off his luchador mask and hands it to Soos.
"You are the Silver Sasquatch now."
"Thank you. But, what about you?" Soos asks.
"You can call me Bernardo now." The former Silver Sasquatch replied.
"Okay, Bernardo." Soos says as he hugs his childhood idol and puts on the mask.
Alright, Soos! Let's go win those belts!" El Topo says happily.
They wave goodbye to Bernardo as they head off to the arena as an ambulance arrives to care for him.
They arrive at the arena and enter the ring. The audience cheers.
"Now in the ring is the team of El Topo and the Silver Sasquatch!" The ring announcer says.
Then, the tag team champions enter. The audience boos.
"Now, in the ring are the tag team champions, Lou the Bruiser and the Apache Kid!"
The bell rings. All four begin to pound on one another until the referee breaks it up. El Topo begins the fight against the Apache Kid.
During their fight, the referee gets in too close to the action and is knocked to the ground. While he is dazed, Lou the Bruiser enters the ring with a chair. Soos rushes in and kicks Lou the Bruiser in the gut.
Lou drops the chair and Soos picks it up and hits him with it. Lou falls out of the ring, and Soos quickly exits the ring and hides the chair under the ring.
El Topo does a piledriver on the Apache Kid and covers him as the ref comes to. The ref does the three count, and Soos and his father win the match.
"HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, AND THE NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THE TEAM OF EL TOPO AND THE SILVER SASQUATCH!" The ring announcer says enthusiastically.
They both hold up the belts to the cheers of the crowd. Afterwards, they leave the arena.
"I've had a great time today, dad." Soos says.
"Me too, Son. But I think it's time for me to leave."
"Will I be able to see you again tomorrow?"
"Of course, my boy."
They hug and El Topo heads off.
"Bye, Dad!" Soos says as he waves goodbye.
Soos then wonders where he should go next. Then he begins to feel tired.
Mabel, watching him through the same monitor she was using to check up on the real Wendy, snaps her fingers.
Soos then sees his beloved grandmother's house. He walks toward it as the door opens and he sees his grandmother walk out.
"Soos! It's getting late. It's time for bed."
"Coming, Abuelita!" Soos says he rushes inside.
Soos goes to his room, and quickly falls asleep on his bed.
