A/N:
Teller17-djb: Previously on Lost-
Brenda: This isn't Lost.
Teller17-djb: You're right because this isn't a disappointment at the end. Earlier on Quantum Leap-
Clockwork: This may involve warped time, but you're wrong again. Let us handle this one.
Clockwork & Brenda: Last time on Future Foes…
Teller17-djb: Thanks.
Brenda: They didn't give thanks last time.
Teller17-djb: I know that. I was telling you guys thanks for helping me.
Brenda: Oh. Well you're welcome.
Clockwork: You're welcome.
Teller17-djb: What really happened last time was Shane at some sidewalk brittle, and Shane goes bananas when he gets sugar in him. So let's see how his sister handles the problem. You might be a little disappointed in the result, rbvictor. Silver-hizkuntza…AKTIBATZEKO!
Brenda: That was Basque by the way.
Chapter 6: Combustion and Abduction
Luna's POV
This was bad. Shane knows how he gets when he has sugar. I remember the story Shawn told us of the last time he acted this way. It was his first Halloween, for the rest of us it was our second, and they went out in costumes, I think they were called. The only costumes I remember were Shane as a pumpkin and Natalia was dressed as an angel. To make a long story short, one chocolate-chip cookie later and Shane was eating the candy of everyone in the neighborhood on our roof.
It was hard to get him down, from both the roof and the sugar-high. And now we're surrounded by loads of candy. Candy People, candy houses, candy tools; this wasn't looking like a good situation for the kingdom. Shane was wigging out something fierce; he ate up whole structures in one bite. Not including buildings of course, those were more like ten. The Candy People ran away, thankfully. We were falling legitimately behind him.
[We need to stop him fast,] I called to Cosmos. [I calculate we have at less than an hour before he eats the whole kingdom. That is, if those giant gumball machines don't try to stop him.]
"Okay here's the plan," I heard Natalia yell. "If you two can understand me, you two corner him off! Kids, two of you find me something to whack him with while one of you gets me some water!"
"Water," the candy corn kids asked simultaneously.
"Just get me what I need!"
None of us wasted any time in doing what we were told. It was a horrible mistake to go against an order from her, unless you're Shane of course. Speaking of Shane, he was antagonizing a starch guy. I looked around but couldn't find anything to use against him. Cosmos on the other paw threw some sidewalk at the old candy man, causing him to roll out of the way and for Shane to bite the piece and move on.
My brother; timid and introverted sure, but resourceful in a crisis no matter how scared he is. I heard a screech coming from something above us; however it was flying near the sun so I couldn't tell what it was exactly. Shane ate through the streets and came right up to the giant castle. We cornered him off and tried to keep him from eating it, but in the end what were two PupKits to do? Shane started taking bites out of the huge castle. It would take some time before it would cause any damage, but we didn't have that much time.
Star's POV
This time I was running, like how Shawn always said he was in his dreams. And I was inside the Candy Kingdom, again like what Shawn mentioned. This time though it was morning, but that didn't stop danger from filing the air. Ahead, I saw what looked like a curly headed Shawn about to eat Starchy. Frantically and without control, my eyes searched the surrounding kingdom. Turning vision to the right, I saw sidewalk brittle being thrown at Starchy by…

[Cosmos,] I breathed as I woke up. [My son. S-so that was…Shane about to eat Starchy?]
[Huh,] Nova stirred in the bed. [Morning. Did you say something?]
[I…I…]
[What? What's wrong? Was it the nightmare again?]
[No, no. Nothing like that. It was, I don't know. It was bad, but also good in a way.]
[What happened? Was it your dad?]
[No, it was our daughter. I think she has more Vöróurs in her than I thought. I saw, Nova, I saw through her eyes. Try it! Close your eyes and imagine Cosmos or Shane!]
Nova closed his eyes and tried. At first he seemed to be having some difficulty with it, but than he caught onto a link. He looked with closed eyes straight at something. His expression turned into one with worry as he broke the link and stared at me. Only by looking at his expression did I remember what I had seen. I turned on the communicator immediately to warn somebody of the problem.
"Hello," I called. "Bubblegum, Gumball, Oliver! Somebody answer!"
"Star," Bubblegum answered confused. "What's wrong?"
"We were serious when we said we don't know where they are," Gumball told me.
"I know where they are," I told him. "They're in the kingdom now. Right outside the castle. Or at least three of them are."
"She's right," Ice Prince backed me up. "Shawn's kid is out there now biting through the wafer-bricks. Looks like his son."
Through the communicator I heard a rumbling, it started off small but then it got bigger. The three smart royals began screaming and there was a loud crash. The coms went static for a while before they stopped all noise together. I started sobbing at the thought of my children, friends and nephew being caught in the crash; and Nova was with me in the sadness up until the PupKits woke.
Natalia's POV
These kids took forever in getting what I asked them to. I was going to give them a piece of my mind if I hadn't heard screaming coming from the castle. We ran to the castle and saw Shane gnawing the sides, making the whole structure tip in his direction. The hero and heroine fell out of a window but glided to safety thanks to Cake and Jake. And still the screaming continued as the building caught fire because of that cursed Phoenix.
I took a closer look and saw people in the top floor of the castle, one blue and two pink. The whole building fell and the rubble cloud force me and the kids to fall and roll back. I looked to the garbage in horror, sure Shane was a pest but that didn't mean I wanted him de…Wait a second. They were all fine, included the PupKits! But not for long with the way Shane was advancing.
I ran up behind Shane and smashed a candy tree branch in half over his head. Shane fell to the floor in a bit of a daze but started to sit up. He still wasn't himself yet, muttering something or other about candy. I took a jawbreaker rock and hit him over the head, which this time knocked him out.
"You want something done right," I sighed. "Hand me the water."
The smallest candy corn girl handed me the water bottle she got. I flipped over my brother, took of the cap and poured it down his throat. Leave it to Nature's Flavor Eraser to keep the sugar craziness out of his system, though it would help if it got all the craziness out of him. The sound of an "Oh no," dragged me away once the bottle was empty.
"What now," I asked walking over to the pink people I saw in the window.
"Minor setback on sending you home," the boy on sounded worried.
"Why?"
"Your brother knocked down the base of the castle and his bird flamed up the wires of our systems causing and overload and fracture in the machine," the girl one was clearly all brains.
"Which would mean?"
"Your brother and bird broke the castle and the Time Portal," the blue boy came behind me. "Which, need I remind you, is the only way you're getting home."
I set a raging glare in the direction of Shane, who was now beginning to gain consciousness. That's it, this was the last straw. I was gonna kill him. I was gonna kill him, until a Griffin grabbed me and flew awake with me in its talons.
"Griff," I struggled. "Put me down!"
I looked up and saw that this Griffin was different. This one was more bird than cat and it had a look in its eyes that general depicted the receiver as "lunch"
"Y-you're not Griff," I gulped.
Natasha's POV
"Put me down," the voice that sounded like me as a child yelled. "I mean it bird brain, let go!" For some reason I was in the air, flying above mountains. My eyes involuntarily looked up and I caught sight of a mighty beast. It looked to be a cross between a Lion and an Eagle, weighing more on the Eagle scale of the gene-pool.
Down was not the best place for these eyes to wander. It seemed like I was getting higher with each wing flap. We came across a lone tree in the sea of valleys; a nest perched at the very top. Logic told me that I was going to be dropped in there; instinct told me something was waiting for me at the top.
Sure enough, in the nest were baby beasts who begged for a meal. A roar came from behind which stopped this beast from dropping my form. The roar came from a more majestic version of this with a blue girl riding in its claws. 'Ice Princess,' I thought. "Hold on," she called, confirming me suspicion. She shot the beast that held my form with an Ice Blast that sent me flailing to the ground.

"No," I breathed waking up. "Natalia."
A/N:
Teller17-djb: Another cliffhanger brought to you by the Fic Thanksgiving. Can I tell them what happened yesterday?
Clockwork: It is your job to tell a story. Go ahead.
Brenda: Imagine this, a nice normal morning. Waking up at 9 to watch the parade, leaving at 3 to go to our little brother's godmother's house, and the snow starts falling at about 7: 30. Mom sends us to the store and we use that as our excuse to go to the Fic's first Thanksgiving of some-what peace.
Teller17-djb: We make it to the haunted house and go through the portal, we sit through hours of what we were all thankfull for-
Clockwork: Which was only seconds of reAl time spent.
Brenda: And the dinner went from us sitting at the head table in all its elegance-
Teller17-djb: To a disaster with the monstrous appetite of the Fics. My kids started off good, but in the end just ate the way they normally would.
Teller17-djb & Brenda: And that's when the food fight started.
Brenda: But I came up with a plan to stop the chaos and it involved the Top Dogs acting like us for a change. And Pipsqueak ended it perfectly with his fireworks.
Teller17-djb: That was your brilliant idea for them.
Clockwork: Seeing you two act overly nice to each other and us acting like children is a rather odd sight; even for a holiday.
Brenda: Don't get used to it.
Teller17-djb: That was fun though. I hope you readers had a great Thanksgiving. This is our second chapter for the night and we'll see you next time.
Teller17-djb, Clockwork & Brenda: Ikusi ya inguruan!
