Henry just sighed and shook his head before looking to Alexandra. "I'm not sure if I can take this."
"I know what you mean." Alexandra soothed her boyfriend.
"But I like to help people out, but sometimes Duncan and Eddy get on my nerves." Henry said.
"Just ignore them," Alexandra advised. "Duncan, you can't get through, but Eddy, he's been through a lot."
"What do you mean?" Henry asked.
"From what I heard, his older brother tended to abuse him a lot whenever their folks weren't around." Alexandra said.
"What...?" Henry asked.
"I never met him, but Eddy's brother was a big jerk to just about everyone who came in his way," Alexandra said. "Rumor has it that he now runs an amusement park so he can get paid to torture kids with the rides and games. Eddy's parents kicked him out apparently."
"Really?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, and he's also a fire-bender too like Eddy," Alexandra continued. "And he's a member of The Darkstar Council led by Dr. X."
"Well, I dunno if that excuses Eddy for annoying me about using my new powers." Henry rolled his eyes slightly.
"It could be something else." Alexandra shrugged.
"Like what? He just uses me for his scams?" Henry replied.
"Call it a hunch, but I think he just wants someone to look out for him, like a real big brother." Alexandra said.
"But he's got Mike." Henry said.
"That's not what I mean," Alexandra replied. "Besides, Mike and Eddy used to be a serious couple for a while."
"Mike Mazinsky and Eddy?" Henry asked, but then again, he was new, so he never knew about that.
"Yeah, someone gave me this when I asked more about the city when Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was popular." Alexandra said before showing a Toon People magazine with the tomboy with her pigtails and Eddy locked in embraced with the headline: 'SAMPSON + MAZINSKY FINALLY HOOK UP'.
"That's Mike?!" Henry asked in surprise as Mike looked very different from how she looks right now.
"Yep, way before she got a new makeover, and started batting for the other team." Alexandra nodded.
"She... She looks kinda cute with those pigtails." Henry commented.
"Cuter than me?" Alexandra teased with a small smirk.
"N-N-No, you're cute too, Alexandra." Henry replied nervously.
"Relax, I'm only kidding." Alexandra chuckled to that.
"Oh..." Henry smiled weakly. "Heh... You seem to have a way with kids too."
"Yeah, that Baby Kate really seemed to like me." Alexandra replied.
The two teens looked over to see that the boys were still fighting.
"Should we stop it?" Alexandra sighed.
"Good idea," Henry replied until he whistled loudly and the boys then stopped fighting. "Are you all just about done?" Henry asked firmly, crossing his arms. "It's bad enough when I have to deal with Alan and Anne whenever they have a fight."
"Justin started it!" Duncan replied.
"Uh, no, I didn't, you did." Justin replied.
"I don't care who started it, it's ending right now because I said so!" Henry glared.
"And who made you the boss of us?" Duncan retorted.
"Because I'm older than all of you," Henry replied. "Now, I want you guys to apologize to each other, now!"
The boys just looked to each other, grumbling.
"No one's apologizing?" Henry replied. "Then maybe I should take my business elsewhere."
"I'm sorry," Double D said. "We're all sorry. Right, boys?"
The boys nodded and were then apologizing to each other.
"Sorry." Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Now, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" Henry asked them.
"Believe it or not, yes, it was." Duncan muttered.
"You'll survive," Henry replied. "If I can survive my nine younger siblings, I can handle you guys."
"Guess you got a lot of practice," Justin said. "The only real experience I have is Justine when we were kids with Uncle Tito."
"He sounds very special." Henry said about Justin and Justine's 'Uncle' Tito.
"Very much so," Justin replied. "He practically raised us."
"I'm an only child, though I don't know what it's like, but I guess you can count Eddy and Ed as my brothers since we grew up together." Double D said.
"Well, there you go," Henry said. "You might as well act like one big happy family. I think that's all that Mike ever wants anyway."
"He's right," Double D nodded. "Why do you think that Mike formed this group?"
"Because we have special abilities?" Duncan guessed.
"No, well, yes, but there's more to it than that," Double D said. "We're all unique in our own special way, besides having our special abilities."
"...Isn't that the same thing?" Duncan glanced at Double D.
"No, I meant about our roles in the group," Double D replied. "Like I'm the brains of the group."
"And I'm the good looking one of the group." Eddy added.
"You wish!" Duncan replied.
"All right, let's not have another fight," Henry said. "I see enough fights back home."
"Okay, Dad." Duncan replied.
Henry just rolled his eyes slightly.
"Now, what's this about your sister coming over?" Alexandra suspiciously asked Duncan.
"Okay, we're going out to the woods to practice our powers." Duncan replied.
"Sure... Change the subject on me..." Alexandra replied.
"No, I mean to practice to be strong like Mike." Duncan explained.
"Oh, okay." Alexandra replied.
"So, yeah, if you don't mind..." Duncan replied.
"If you're sure..." Alexandra said to him. "I guess I can't really stop you. It's not like you listen to anyone anyway, Duncan."
"Mike said we couldn't use our powers in front of people, but she didn't say anything about training." Eddy replied.
"Just don't get caught." Alexandra rolled her eyes slightly.
"Don't you want to come too?" Duncan asked her.
"I don't want to get in trouble." Alexandra replied.
"So, is that a no?" Duncan asked.
"I'm sorry, but I don't wanna risk it," Alexandra sighed. "I already have enough trouble being separated from my parents."
"Think about good training," Duncan said. "We can beat Dr. X and his goons."
Alexandra didn't say anything but turned around.
"Duncan, if someone tells you no, that means no." Double D whispered.
"All right, don't get your hat in a knot, I was just asking." Duncan replied.
"Sorry, I just can't do that, especially since I could lose control." Alexandra warned.
"That's all right, Alexandra, we won't make you." Double D said, sounding like the adult in this situation.
"Thank you," Alexandra replied. "I'm sorry."
"All right, don't stay up too late now." Double D said as the others began to leave.
Alexandra sighed as she sat down and lay her back on the bed and she stared up at the ceiling.
"Are you okay?" Henry soon asked her.
"I don't know, maybe I should go with them," Alexandra shrugged. "Vanessa was able to beat me twice."
"Well, I don't wanna force you to do anything that you don't wanna do." Henry said to her.
"You're right," Alexandra replied. "Oh, how did I get so lucky to end up with a guy like you?"
"I don't know, how did I end up with a great girl like you?" Henry smirked.
"Oh, stop." Alexandra blushed.
"You started it." Henry teased.
"Do you want to keep an eye on them?" Alexandra then suggested. "Just in case they might get into trouble?"
"Sure." Henry replied.
The two teens followed Duncan, Abby, and the Eds secretly so they wouldn't get spotted.
At the woods, which was far from town...
"Okay, you guys ready for some training?" Duncan asked the others with him.
"You know it." Eddy replied.
"Let's get to it then." Duncan smirked.
They then heard a rustling noise which made them yelp as they thought it was Mike, but it wasn't, it was only Cindy.
"Cindy, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Eddy said.
"Sorry," Cindy shrugged. "I was wondering where you guys ended up at."
"Don't tell Mike, but we're training, so please don't say anything." Double D begged.
"Relax, Double D, I'm not gonna say anything," Cindy replied. "I was hoping that I could train with you guys."
"You wanna train with us?" Duncan asked.
"...Yes." Cindy replied as that was just what she said.
"I must have something in my ears because I think I just heard that Cindy wants to train with us." Duncan said to the others.
"You did." Cindy replied.
"Glad to have you on board, Cindy." Eddy approved.
"I'm not sure how my own powers can really help out, but they're better than nothing." Cindy said to them.
"Well, we'll help out each other," Duncan replied. "Remember, don't say anything to Mike, or especially June and Dee Dee."
"Got it." Cindy replied.
"Yes, especially Dee Dee, she's not the best person to keep secrets with, such a sweetheart though." Double D said about the ballerina.
"Her brain just isn't there." Eddy added.
"I love Dee Dee." Ed smiled.
"Yes, we know, Ed." Double D replied.
The bushes rustled again which made everyone nervous, but they then sighed in relief since it was only Henry and Alexandra.
"I guess you guys took me up on my offer." Duncan said.
"We guess," Alexandra replied. "One training session couldn't hurt."
"Glad to see you on board." Cindy said.
"Okay, you guys, let's rock and roll!" Duncan suggested.
"Don't get too excited now, but let's do this." Alexandra said as she took a deep breath.
"Is this about your cousin?" Cindy whispered to Alexandra. "I was told about Vanessa."
"Yes, it is," Alexandra sighed. "Twice she was able to beat me."
"I'm very sorry, Alexandra." Cindy replied.
"It's okay, kid, especially now with her and her boyfriend having joined Dr. X." Alexandra said.
"I've heard that they have gamma radiation in them," Cindy said. "I'm sorry, but I promise that someday, somehow, we're going to stop them."
"You seem to have a heart as big as your brain." Alexandra replied.
"Um, thank you." Cindy said.
"Our first step is to get you two to change." Duncan said.
"How are you gonna do that?" Henry asked.
Duncan grabbed the two, wrapping them around in chains, and threw them into the deep end of the water.
"I hope that they'll be okay." Cindy said.
"Ah, they'll be fine, kid, no worries." Duncan replied casually.
After a few minutes, they haven't heard anything yet which made everyone worried.
"I better go check on them." Duncan suggested.
"I hope you didn't drown them, Duncan Nelson." Cindy said, tapping her foot aggressively.
"I hope I didn't either." Duncan replied as he soon went into the water to check on Henry and Alexandra.
Many fish swam by as he looked around for the Hulk couple who didn't seem to be around just yet.
"Henry? Alexandra?! Where are you?!" Duncan called out underwater.
Suddenly, he was nearly tackled underwater. Duncan gasped and up to shore to breathe before Henry and Alexandra glared at him as they floated on either side of him.
"Hey, I see you guys changed." Duncan smiled nervously.
"YOU DROWN US!" Henry and Alexandra yelled at him out of pure rage.
"I did? Well, I'm sorry." Duncan replied.
Henry and Alexandra just glared at him.
"I'm gonna get out of here now..." Duncan said as he came out of the water.
"Maybe we smash Rock Man." Henry suggested.
"Please don't." Duncan begged.
Henry and Alexandra followed him out.
"Well, at least they weren't drowned... But did you have to throw them underwater like that?" Cindy asked Duncan. "That was like something out of The Godfather!"
"You watch that too?!" Duncan replied.
"Of course I do." Cindy said.
Duncan just glanced away before looking back at Henry and Alexandra. "So, no hard feelings about drowning you, right?" he then asked.
"I would stop talking about that if I were you." Double D suggested.
"I agree with Sockhead." Eddy added with a gulp.
"Uh... Right... Let's just begin training." Duncan suggested for his own safety.
"Training...?" Henry repeated.
"Yeah, so we can get stronger." Cindy said.
"Uh... Yeah... You said you wanted to come? Duh..." Duncan told them before muttering. "I told you guys that The Hulk is stupid."
"Duncan!" Double D cried out.
"Ix-nay on the Ulk-Hay." Cindy added.
"What? I'm just saying!" Duncan shrugged in defense.
"He was just kidding, you guys." Cindy smiled sheepishly to Henry and Alexandra.
Henry and Alexandra didn't say anything, but they just glared at Duncan like this was all his fault.
"He's sorry..." Cindy said. "Anyway, how are we all going to practice our powers?"
"Like in football," Duncan said. "We'll split up into two teams and practice on each other."
"Good idea." Cindy replied.
Alexandra took a hold of Cindy once she calmed down a little.
"Um...?" Duncan asked.
"She's like the little sister I've always wanted," Alexandra replied. "Is that okay with you?"
"No problem. No problem, right, guys?" Duncan replied.
Abby and the Eds nodded in agreement.
"Keep an eye on them." Alexandra told Henry about the others with him.
"I plan to." Henry replied.
"Okay, split into two groups." Duncan told the others.
"I call being Team Captain!" Eddy called out.
Duncan looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't. "You know what? Whatever... It doesn't matter..." he then shrugged. "Go crazy, kid."
"Cool," Eddy replied. "Then I pick Ed, Double D, and Henry to be on my team."
"Go, Team Eds!" Ed beamed.
"That means I'm stuck with Alexandra." Duncan said.
"STUCK?!" Alexandra glared.
"Oh, uh, I mean, I'm glad to be with Alexandra." Duncan smiled nervously.
Alexandra growled to that.
"Smooth, Rock Head." Cindy smirked.
"Hey!" Duncan glared. "Uh... I guess I'll take Cindy too."
"Thanks, I guess." Cindy smirked innocently.
"And my very awesome little sister, Abby!" Duncan then said.
"Yeah, we're going to beat you guys." Abby added.
"In your dreams." Eddy replied.
The teams were then set. The first team was Henry and the Eds, and the second team consisted of Duncan, Abby, Alexandra, and Cindy.
"All right, let's make the most of what we can, Team," Abby smirked. "We got all night."
"Go, Team Awesome, we're gonna beat Henry and the Three Stooges to the ground!" Duncan added.
"All of this just for training..." Cindy muttered slightly. "Yeah... Life sure is interesting."
"Ready?" Eddy asked.
"Yes!" Ed replied.
And with that, both teams split up. The Eds and Henry were hiding behind a rock.
"Okay, boys, I have a plan," Eddy said to the others. "We split up like a distraction, they will get so confused."
"Shh!" Double D shushed.
"Why? I wasn't finished." Eddy replied.
"We're surrounded by animals," Double D reminded him. "Think about it, one of them could be Abby listening in on us."
"You really think she would do that?" Eddy asked.
"She's a Nelson?" Double D reminded him.
"Hmm... Good point, Sockhead," Eddy replied. "Anyway, we should split up. Ed and Double D while me with Henry."
"Eddy is always one step ahead." Ed smiled.
"It could work," Double D shrugged. "Let's try it."
"Is that cool with you, big guy?" Eddy then asked Henry.
Henry grinned and nodded to that.
"Good... Glad we understand each other now." Eddy said.
"As long as you don't say or do something stupid." Henry muttered slightly.
"Please, when do I do that?" Eddy replied until he glanced over to the others. "...Nobody say anything."
Double D and Henry just rolled their eyes.
"Ed, I want you to do something for us," Eddy said. "Do you think that you can do it?"
"Sure thing, Eddy, what is it?" Ed smiled.
Eddy whispered into his best friend's ear while Ed gave him a smile.
"Okey, dokey, Eddy!" Ed smiled.
"I feel like if I ask, I'll just regret it." Double D said as he looked around to turn something into ice with his abilities.
"Okay, Stooges, what's the matter?" Duncan asked. "Too scared to come out?"
"Maybe they're scared?" Abby's voice added.
"Not scared..." Henry growled.
"Whoa, easy there, big guy," Eddy warned. "Just let me handle this. Don't smash anything yet."
Henry just looked mad, but nothing bad happened yet.
"Where are you guys?" Eddy demanded. "This isn't funny! ...Or scary!"
Duncan's group looked around for Eddy's group.
"See the Stooges yet, Cin?" Duncan asked.
"Nothing yet," Cindy replied as she was looking through binoculars. "Wait a minute. I see them hiding behind that rock."
Duncan took a look himself. "Hmm..." he said before he soon held out his hand and used his abilities to move the rock.
"Now you're trapped like cornered rats." Abby smirked.
"Ready to give up?" Duncan added.
"Never!" Ed yelled out.
"I guess with us having powers, there's no such thing as a normal visit to a town anymore." Cindy commented.
"Cindy?" Duncan cued.
"Oh, right." Cindy replied as she then used her powers to wrap up Henry and the Eds.
"Any last words?" Duncan asked.
"Yeah? I think you just made Henry angry." Eddy smirked.
"Uh-oh!" Duncan panicked. "Cindy, do something!"
"Let me think... Let's see... What did my grandma teach me? Oh, yeah!" Cindy replied until her eyes then glowed, and a giant dome trapped them. "Wow! I did it!"
Henry ran up to the dome as he broke him and the Eds free and he began to pound on the dome.
Cindy soon leaned against the dome as she made it indestructible which meant that even as a Hulk, Henry would not be able to break it down. "It's not gonna work," she then smirked. "You boys might as well give up."
Henry kept beating at the glass, but it didn't work.
"Are you going to do this all day?" Cindy asked him. "It's gonna be sunrise by the time you get out of there."
"Nice job, Cin." Duncan commented.
"Thanks, it took a while to get that right." Cindy replied.
"So, can they break out at all?" Duncan asked.
"No, they shouldn't because I don't want them to, but I'll let them out later on." Cindy said as she leaned against the dome.
"You're one sneaky girl." Duncan smirked.
"Thanks." Cindy giggled to that.
"One point for us." Duncan laughed before making faces at the competition.
"Don't rub salt in the wound." Cindy advised as she walked to the others.
"You're a very clever girl, huh?" Alexandra asked.
"I try," Cindy replied. "I'm thinking of maybe taking some college courses over the summer. I've actually been accepted and made the Dean's List."
"Aren't you 10 years old?" Alexandra's eyes widened.
"Yeah, but I'm very smart for my age." Cindy nodded.
"I'll say." Alexandra replied.
Duncan laughed as he began to taunt Henry and the Eds. "What's this? The Hulk can't break out of a single barrier?" he then laughed. "Man, you're weak!"
"Not a good idea, Duncan." Cindy shook her head to that.
"Why? He can't break out." Duncan said.
"Because it's mean and you're going to make Henry worse than he was before when he can finally be let out," Cindy said. "He might become big like Sugilite."
"Cindy, that's just an urban legend," Duncan replied. "No way that he can even grow that big."
"You'd be surprised," Cindy replied. "I've been reading a few Hulk comics."
Duncan just looked at her.
"Don't judge me," Cindy crossed her arms. "You're dating a Hex Girl."
"She's got ya there." Alexandra said to the delinquent boy.
"Ah, you guys are just scared," Duncan replied. "He's not gonna grow big. It's just a myth, okay?!"
Henry growled in response.
"Aw, what's the matter? You guys want out? Well, ya can't!" Duncan mocked before sticking out his tongue.
"I would stop if I were you." Eddy smirked.
"He can't break out, can't ya hear Cindy in there?" Duncan replied.
"I'm just staying out of this one..." Cindy rolled her eyes as she walked off with her hands in her pockets.
"You live next door to him and Abby?" Alexandra asked Cindy.
"Yeah, I'm getting gray hairs already." Cindy said as she plucked one of her own hairs out to show that it was silver.
"Yeesh." Alexandra winced.
"They snuck me into an R-Rated movie before," Cindy replied. "Luckily my parents didn't find out, and don't get me started on April Fool's Day and Halloween, their favorite holidays."
"Gosh..." Alexandra said.
"Better than Gumboot I guess, but they worry me sometimes," Cindy shrugged. "I'm just surprised my mom picked that house to live next door to them considering she finds certain things to be a bad influence on me."
"Your mother sounds very interesting." Alexandra commented.
"She is," Cindy smiled. "I mean, she's a little overprotective sometimes, but I still love her. I look up to her as a role model, and I'd do anything for her."
"That's nice..." Alexandra said softly.
"Oh, Alexandra, I'm sorry." Cindy then said as she realized she was talking about her own mother and Alexandra was taken away from hers.
"It's okay," Alexandra growled. "Damn military took her away from me!"
"We'll find her, I promise you that." Cindy tried to soothe her.
"Hm... I sure hope so..." Alexandra replied. "I sure do miss her."
"I can imagine so." Cindy said.
"Think we should stop Duncan?" Alexandra then asked.
"Nah, this is comedy," Cindy smirked. "Let him have a taste of his own medicine."
Alexandra smirked back and watched the show as Duncan was still making faces.
"Oh, man, this is so funny." Duncan laughed as he wiped a tear from his eye.
Cindy and Alexandra decided to stay out of the way and watched this together.
"You think I should weaken the dome for Henry?" Cindy asked Alexandra quietly.
"I would." Alexandra grinned to that.
"Hmm..." Cindy nodded before she soon concentrated a bit.
Without Duncan knowing it, the dome began to weaken a bit so that Henry could break out.
"So, um, how do you use your powers?" Alexandra asked.
"It's like lucid dreaming, but I'm awake, so whatever I want to have happen if I concentrate hard enough, can become a reality." Cindy explained.
"It sounds cool." Alexandra commented.
"It can be." Cindy replied.
"Hey, girls, join in," Duncan told them as he laughed hyperactively. "Big Old Henry can't break out because he's weak and stupid like The Hulk."
Cindy and Alexandra looked to each other, smirking. Cindy then made some gestures for Henry to break out. Henry raised his fists and looked to the center. Cindy then nodded in silence. Henry nodded back and began to pound against the dome which made some cracks appear.
"Oh, man, this is the best night!" Duncan was still laughing.
The dome began to crack. Cindy just rolled her eyes as Duncan laughed himself silly.
"Can you make popcorn?" Alexandra asked.
"You bet," Cindy replied. "I like mine with extra butter."
Alexandra smiled to that.
Cindy then made a popcorn making machine as Abby and the Eds walked over. "You guys want some popcorn?" she asked them.
"Extra butter please." Cindy said.
"You got it." Alexandra nodded as she went to get them some popcorn.
"Sure." Eddy said.
"Extra butter for me, please." Double D added.
"Excellent choice, Double D." Cindy nodded.
"Why aren't you guys laughing?" Duncan asked the others.
"Oh, we are, Duncan," Cindy said. "Look behind you."
"Why?" Duncan replied. "Is Henry trying to break out?"
"Yeah." The others told him.
"But you said he couldn't get out!" Duncan told Cindy. "You said it was unbreakable!"
"I did? Oh, my gosh? I guess it is breakable!" Cindy mocked surprise before she and Alexandra secretly high-fived each other while Duncan looked nervous.
Henry continued to pound on the glass until a fist broke free, and he then grabbed a hold of Duncan by his choker.
"Hey, dude, what's up?" Duncan gulped to Henry.
Henry growled at him.
"Come on, we're friends, right? You wouldn't hurt me!" Duncan said.
"Duncan make fun of Hulk!" Henry growled. "Hulk important to Alexandra!"
"I was only kidding, dude." Duncan chuckled nervously.
"Henry not believe you!" Henry glared. "Duncan always giving friends hard time!"
"Help me out, guys?" Duncan smiled nervously.
The others were just eating their popcorn.
"Guys? What kind of friends are you?!" Duncan asked.
"Henry ask Duncan same question." Henry growled.
Duncan yelled out, but everyone just watched the show.
Mike wandered around the town, letting a small yawn as she felt tired since tonight wasn't a full moon. "I better round up the others and get some sleep... So quiet around here at night..." she said to herself.
Mike then gathered up the others, minus the Eds, Duncan, Abby, Cindy, Henry, and Alexandra. "Say, where's Cindy, Henry, Alexandra, Duncan, Abby, and the Eds?" she then asked.
"Oh, they told me to tell you that they decided to explore a little bit more, but they will be back soon." Justin replied.
"Okay." Mike then yawned as she felt exhausted.
'Duncan owes me big time for this.' Justin then thought to himself.
"Night, Justin." Mike said.
"Night, Mike, get some rest." Justin waved to her.
Mike nodded and went to her room to get some sleep.
Justin then sighed in relief before looking outside. "I better get them before they cause any trouble." he then said to himself.
Henry began to pulverize Duncan like a wrestler, but not in a way that would kill the delinquent as he and Alexandra learned how to control their power a bit easier after visiting Bruce Banner with the rest of his family.
"Gah! Not the face!" Duncan cried out. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"What's going on here?" Justin asked.
"Whatya think?" Abby replied. "Duncan just being Duncan. I swear he's been getting in trouble since the day he was born."
"Just like you," Justin replied. "Well, Mike was wondering where you guys were."
"You didn't tell her, did you?" Eddy's eyes widened in fear.
"No, I told her that you guys were still exploring the town," Justin said. "She bought it."
"You're a life saver," Eddy replied. "We owe you one."
"How about not forcing me to be apart of your scams for about, say, a week?" Justin replied.
"You got it, pal," Eddy said. "Say, why don't you become apart of our training group?"
"I don't know, I'll think about it, but I'd be careful," Justin shrugged. "Today was just luck, you guys, what if tomorrow night has a full moon?"
"That's a good point." Cindy had to admit.
"It's getting dark, guys, you better get to sleep soon," Justin said. "It seems like there's a lot of excitement in this town during the day."
"Caillou and Rosie are sleeping." Ed smiled.
"Thank goodness for that." Eddy muttered about Ed's younger cousins.
"Help me..." Duncan begged as he moaned in pain.
"Okay, big guy, I think he's had enough." Justin told Henry.
Henry looked over and then stopped, dropping Duncan into a bush.
"Better?" Alexandra asked.
"Little better..." Henry said to her softly.
"I think I can taste my liver." Duncan groaned.
"So, how do you feel, Henry?" Eddy soon asked.
Henry went over and picked up Eddy. "Eddy promise not to make Henry mad?" he then asked.
"Oh, don't you worry about that anymore, dude," Eddy replied. "I've seen what you can do."
Henry nodded as he set Eddy down.
"Wow, what a lucky break." Eddy smirked to herself.
"No get too cocky." Henry reminded him.
"At first, I was scared when you first changed, but now I see you're not so bad," Eddy replied. "I'm sorry if I treated you like a monster."
"Don't mention." Henry told him.
Cindy was wiping her eyes, smiling at the happy moment. Double D was smiling too and was glad for his friend and maybe wouldn't end up like his brother.
"The Chans are very lucky to have someone like you," Eddy said to Henry. "I wish I could have an older brother like you."
Henry soon shrunk down back to normal size. "I'm sorry about your brother... I wish there was something I could do..." he then said.
"Me too," Eddy replied. "I thought he loved me, but I guess I was wrong."
"Stop that, you couldn't help it, Eddy, sometimes life is like that," Henry said. "You can't control it, but it's best not to dwell on the bad parts of your life when you can think about the good so your life will be worth living."
Eddy did say anything, but went over to to him and gave him a hug much to his shock.
"Uh... Thanks, Eddy." Henry said.
"Why couldn't Matthew be like you?" Eddy frowned.
"I'm sorry, Eddy, but sometimes that happens," Henry said. "Plus you also have Haley. I hear she's a great cousin."
"She is." Eddy nodded about his cousin.
"And if Matthew thinks that he'll come down and get you, we will stop him." Henry promised.
"Wow! Thanks, dude." Eddy replied.
"Eh, don't mention it," Henry said. "Look, it's late, I think we should wrap things up and get ready for bed."
"Agreed," Double D nodded. "Shall we come back tomorrow for more training?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, then headed back to the hotel. Unknown to them, someone was watching them the whole time.
"Not bad, you guys, not bad." Jo smirked to herself.
Everyone soon went to bed that night, falling fast asleep after a big day in PBS Town together.
