FUN! Don't be mad at me for not updating please D: life attacked me with lots of butter knives and I've been recovering. But in the meanwhile, I have some new chapters that can be posted soon...

The hamster chirped sadly and crawled back under a book.

"Then what is it?" Vix, already fed up, was just glaring at him.

He took a breath, and yelled, "Where's Mike?!"

Episode 10: The Escaped Prisoner! Quick, grab the PLAY-THINGS!

Vix cursed under her breath, and glanced to the others. "It's impossible for that pile of scrap-metal to have ran away."

"Are you sure?" Asked Don Patch, dressed as a professor. Vix threw a book of physics at his head, knocking him over. "DOES NOT COMPUTE!" He yelled, clutching his head in mock pain and confusion.

Vix shook her head, and glanced toward Nick. "Any ideas?" She asked.

He sighed. "Well, like any microphone, he probably had batteries…"

"And so he played dead. That little…" Vix didn't bother to continue, but looked to the others.

"We MUST catch him!" Jelly yelled, wearing a dog-catcher's outfit. In one of his hands he had a stopwatch, and in the other a bubble-blower.

"HOW WILL THOSE HELP US?!" Beauty freaked out.

Jelly looked at her like she was crazy. "Well, duh, we time him to see HOW LONG he was away, and then we get him caught in a BUBBLE!"

He looked extremely proud of himself.

Vix rolled her eyes and, still exasperated about his earlier stupidity, shoved the stopwatch in his face, causing him to stumble backwards and fall off the carpet.

Vix looked bored, Beauty was extremely freaked and was looking over the side of the lychee carpet, Nick was sighing, rubbing the back of his head, and Gasser wasn't paying attention to Jelly – instead watching Bo-Bobo and Don Patch reenact Romeo and Juliet.

"I-I'm okay!" Jelly's voice echoed up to the carpet, bouncing from the ruined walls. The dust from the implosion was clearing as he spoke.

Vix got an even bored expression on her face and upon hearing Jelly yell, "That didn't hurt as much as I thought it would!" she pushed a stove off the carpet.

Beauty didn't say anything, staring with a mix between horror and shock as a thud echoed around them and Jelly yelled, "BUT THAT DID!"

Vix was trying to push something else off – in particular, a large TV, when Nick spoke up. "Vix, we shouldn't be beating up on Toko - er, I mean, Jelly…we should be looking for Mike…"

Vix ignored him however, much to the dismay of the others, and the television was halfway off the carpet when something actually did make her stop.

"GAH!"

Nick jumped up from where he had been sulking and peered over the edge of the carpet.

Jelly was being surrounded by some of Mike's henchmen, and was screaming and flailing his arms wildly.

"HELP MEEEE!" He screeched as one approached him with a fork. Nick didn't say anything as the gelatin man yelled, "USE A SPOON! NOT A FORK YOU FOOL! A SPOOON!"

"Guys!" Gasser shouted, breaking the awkward silence of everyone on the carpet. "We have to rescue Jelly!"

No one replied for a minute, and he began to look very disappointed as Vix said distractedly, "Nah, let him get eaten…"

"You guys are all such idiots…" They all turned. Drew was looking extremely bored himself as he continued, "They'll know where Mike is…They're his best men."

"How do YOU know?!" Vix demanded irritably.

He pointed to them. "Because it says so on their shirts."

"…" Vix glared at him angrily, then sighed.

"Fine, we'll rescue that idiotic blob…"

Nick looked extremely happy again. "HOLD ON, TO – ER, JELLY! WE'RE COMING!" He yelled down to the lychee man. Under his breath he muttered, "Must remember…english and japanese….are different…"

Vix half-heartedly pulled a rope from her pocket, tied a large candlestick to the bottom, and threw one end over the carpet.

There was no sound at first, then a loud THUMP! and a scream of agony from one of the henchmen. Vix didn't do anything for a moment as a conversation echoed up to them.

"That must have hurt! Dangit, what was that?!"

"Urgh….it…was…candlestick…man... I…can't….not…feel…graah…"

"Vix, you're…awfully…violent," Nick said, attempting to word it correctly. He didn't do a very good job though, because he had a cobra hurled at him by his very angry older sibling.

"GAH! SNAKKEEEEE! GET IT OFF!!!"

Vix cracked up at that, watching in amusement for a whole minute as he wrestled with the snake. Then she got bored and said with a smirk, "Nick, that's a stuffed animal."

Nick, who had somehow gotten the cobra tied around his neck, blinked, then huffed at Vix angrily, throwing it over the side. Then he saw a speaker tied to the tail as it fell to the ground.

"OW! …HOLY CRAP, A SNAKE! Oh wait, it's just a stuffed animal…WAIT! THERE'S SOMETHING TIED TO IT…a speaker?"

Vix wasn't paying attention to the conversation below them, but was trying to figure out what to tie the other end of the rope to. Then she decided on tying it around an unmoving Bo-Bobo and yelled, "LET'S GO!"

There was a short pause as everyone began to walk toward the rope, wondering what Vix was planning, and freaked out when she jumped off of the carpet, not holding onto anything.

"VIX! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT!" Nick yelled, eyes wide like wider-than-big-screen-TV-wide as he looked over the edge of the floating lychee gelatin.

But, somehow she was already on the ground, not looking like she had taken any kind of an impact, and waved up at everyone else.

"I've got this!" She yelled, pulling the chain from her pocket and jumping over the two already dazed henchmen.

"Nick…" He turned to see Gasser facing him with a slightly sympathetic look. "…You have a weird family."

Below, Vix lashed her chain out at one of the other two men that were trying to eat Jelly. It wrapped around his stomach and she snatched the other end as it swung by her, pulling on both.

The guy was thrown backwards into her. She jumped up at the last minute, pulling a rope from her pocket, and as the henchman fell onto his back she landed right on his chest. He went partially limp, extremely dazed as she tied him up and pushed him out of the way.

But as she finished getting him to one of the standing walls she was attacked from behind, and was pushed forwards a few feet from a punch to her back.

"Vix!" Nick yelled, and without hesitation he jumped off the carpet, leaving a partially-freaked out Gasser. All he could say was, "His family's not just weird…they're all insane.."
