"Hey, Insane, look what I got you!" Ali shouted triumphantly, putting a piece of pie down on the breakfast table. Insane looked at it dully for a few seconds.
"I don't want it." Insane told her, Ali's jaw almost hit the ground.
"But, you kept telling us that you liked pie!" Ali exclaimed.
"I like pie. I didn't say I liked eating it." Insane told her. Ali looked at the boy in disbelief, she had gone through a lot of trouble to get that piece of pie, and the line was incredibly long. Ali was fuming with anger and she looked like she was about to burst…
"Oh well, more for me." Ali said, sitting down and eating the pie, then slowly levitating the water from Dedodakes's cup into her own.
"What are you doing?" Dedodakes asked Ali.
"I'm thirsty." Ali told her, taking a sip out of her own cup. "And I'm too lazy to get more water from the buffet table."
"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!" Dedodakes exclaimed, jumping towards Ali, but Danny held her back.
"Woah, easy, you can get her back later!" Danny exclaimed. Dedodakes glared at Ali, once breakfast was over, the Aquatian was going to get one seriously painful electric shock.
"Dedodakes, don't take it so personally." Ali told her.
"Shut up, I'm grieving." Dedodakes sulked. Everyone at the table burst out laughing, Tiffany stopped when she noticed something. Everyone was present for breakfast this morning, but Tom was missing.
"Wait a second, where's Tom?" Tiffany asked the gang.
"He's probably doing something like torturing Shadow." June smiled. Meanwhile, as the gang were having breakfast, Tom was in the cargo pit…
"Why does your transmission case have to be such a pain to get to, Shadow?" asked Tom, who was on a creeper underneath the Chevrolet Monte Carlo known as "Shadow". Tom had taken a red toolbox out of Shadow's trunk that was sitting next to the talking car, and next to the toolbox were boxes labeled "Milzy Motorsports Special Order consists of: LQ1 Headers, exhaust kit, tuned PCM, 4T60e Transmission build up kit, Garret T5 turbocharger/intercooler combo."
"Don't blame me. Blame the designers at General Motors!" protested the black coupe. "OW! Don't go there!"
"GAAHH!!! I can't do this all by myself. We'll never be ready for the 'Australian Outback 1/4 Mile Tourney'" yelled Tom, a frustrated look swept across his face.
The Australian Outback ¼ Mile Tourney was the main reason Tom came on this cruise. Pretty soon, the ship was going to stop in Sydney, Australia and let the passengers stay there for the remainder of the trip. Many people came to surf or sightsee, but Tom was in this because of the tournament.
"What are you doing?"
Tom turned around to see the whole gang looking at him with concerned faces. He gave them a weak smile as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. The gang neared him to see him fixing Shadow up.
"Fixing up this very annoying Chevy." Tom replied.
"What?! How am I annoying?"
"You're made out of so many different parts." Tom told it.
"…Point taken…"
"So I guess you don't need us. Come on, yo, we're goin' to the arcade." Jake Long told the group as they got ready to leave the cargo pit. Tom rolled out from under Shadow and stopped the group.
"Woah! Who said that you needed to leave?" Tom asked. "I need help more than ever on this."
"Tell me about it." Shadow sighed.
Tom then explained everything to the gang, everything about the tournament and how important it was to him. He also explained how he couldn't work on Shadow earlier since Jessica was hypnotizing him. Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
"Sure, we'll help you destroy your car…um…I mean, fix Shadow up." Tiffany told him.
"Thanks! I think…" Tom muttered as the group headed down to Shadow, who looked nervously at the gang.
"Calm down, Shadow, we're not going to kill you." Hui Hua told it.
"Yeah, you're going to tear me apart, and then you're going to kill me…HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Jake Long came out from under the hood, holding a wrench and covered in oil. "Alright, Shadow, try revving your engine now."
"Fine, but I don't see the point of this…" Shadow told him, suddenly, the engine's rev was lounder and stronger than ever. Everyone looked at the young dragon, impressed.
"Alright, I'll let you guys mess around with me this once. ONLY this once." Shadow told the gang.
"Got it, let's rip him to shreds!" Ali exclaimed.
"Wait, what?!"
As the gang worked on him, Cubby decided to explore what Shadow was made out of. He climbed into the drivers seat and started pressing buttons rapidly.
"What's this do? What's this do? OOH! This one looks really shiny!" Cubby exclaimed, pushing the button to switch the radio on. Jake noticed this and pulled Cubby out of the driver's seat. The radio then started to work and it played a song…
Everyone's watchin' to see what you will do
Everyone's lookin' at you, Oh
Everyone's wonderin' will you come out tonight
Everyone's tryin' to get it right, get it right
Tiffany and Jake were both under the hood, fixing random parts of Shadow. Tiffany took the wrench and tightened a bolt, unfortunately, that sent oil spilling onto Jake's face. She smiled innocently and ignored the death glare that she got.
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, Oh
Danny and June were arguing about which design to spray paint onto Shadow. Cubby started running randomly all over the place and accidentally knocked both the stencils out of their hands. As Danny and June bent down to pick the stencils out, they could see the two stencils joined together in a unique design. They smiled as they picked up a new piece of paper and sketched their idea on.
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Hui Hua and Sky were both shining the hood. Jake Long came along and he felt a slight sneeze coming out of his nose, he let it out, except that he let it out on the hood of the car. Hui Hua and Sky were both burnt from his fiery sneeze, they both glared at him, while he kept walking on.
Everyone's lookin' to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hopin' it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting to hold you out
Tiffany came out from under Shadow, coughing uncontrollably and covered in oil. Tom walked up to her and held out his hand, waiting for her to pass him the wrench. She rolled her eyes as she gave Tom the wrench and watched him go underneath the car with the creeper.
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance, hey yeah
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, Oh
Insane walked up and saw the design that Danny and June had made. He took the pencil from their hands and started sketching on the paper, ignoring their surprised looks.
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Hey
Dedodakes and Ali then walked up to Danny and June right after Insane had finished sketching. As June lowered the pencil to the paper, Ali snatched it from her and started sketching on the paper, Dedodakes did the same thing. Once they finished, she handed the pencil to June, grinning widely.
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Jake, June and Danny all put the stencil towards Shadow and watched anxiously as Tiffany started shaking the can of spray paint wildly, and then started spraying the stencil madly. Unfortunately, the paint also got on their faces. They glared at Tiffany, who dropped the spray paint and ran for her life.
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
As the song finished, everybody looked at Shadow in awe. Sure, he wasn't exactly finished yet, but he looked really good. Everyone headed to the deck, satisfied. Tom looked at the kids, gratefully.
"Hey, thanks guys. I couldn't have made him look this good without ya." He told them.
"We know." Insane smiled, but then received a hit on the shoulder from Ali.
"What do we do now?" Danny asked the gang. A smile slowly crept across his face once he realized that everyone was thinking the same thing. Without hesitating, everyone rushed towards the arcade. Tiffany was about to run before Sky and Jake stopped her. She turned around, both their faces were full of worry and doubt.
"What's wrong?" She asked the two. "Come on, I want to play 'whack a clown'!"
"Isn't it whack-a-mole?" Sky asked.
"Mole's aren't pure evil, Sky." Tiffany smiled. But Jake and Sky's faces stayed serious. "Alright, seriously, what's wrong?"
"You know that angels of life are only supposed to stay on Earth until their time is up, right?" Sky asked Tiffany. She nodded her head, and then Sky turned to Jake. "Well…Jake's gotta go."
Tiffany was shocked, Jake had been on Earth with her for a long time, he had become her best friend and he had to leave just like that. Sky and Jake could see her expression.
"Well…when does he have to leave?" Tiffany asked.
"Sometime when we're in Sydney, we're not sure yet." Sky told her. Jake looked at Tiffany's depressed expression.
"At least I still have some time to spend with you guys." Jake told her. "That's good news…"
"Yeah…perfect." Tiffany told them, walking off towards the arcade. Jake and Sky stayed behind watching her.
"That's how we'd picture she'd take it, wasn't it?" Sky asked Jake, who nodded dully. Personally, Sky couldn't believe Jake was leaving either. He was the only angel of light that she knew, without him she would be the only one left.
As Tiffany walked into the arcade, everyone noticed at once that something was wrong. Nobody knew what, except for Hui Hua and Dixon, they both walked up to her.
"Sky told you about it, didn't she?" Dixon asked. Tiffany didn't answer them. She just smiled briefly and walked deeper into the arcade. Enjoying this vacation was going to be harder than she thought.
