Angelica was rather unhappy because her roller-blades were broken after she had been dragged by Spike and Patch, then she grew mournful due to the loss of her 'best friend'. "Oh, Cynthia... Are they taking care of you? Will they know to comb your hair, or change you into your sports jumper with matching neckerchief at lunch time?"
Spike came in front of Angelica, but looked a little frightened once he saw what was behind her. Angelica took off her skates and threw them into the bushes, there was a low whimpering noise heard. Spike then suddenly ran away to tell Patch and the Pound Puppies.
"Wait, Spike!" Angelica called out. "Come back, you stupid dog!" She then chased after the dog.
The wolf had been in the bushes and faded away into the shadows.
"I smell that wolf, but I just can't find him!" Patch groaned.
"Don't worry, if that wolf ever shows up, we'll know who to turn to to get rid of him." Lucky smiled.
"He better be ready..." Patch growled, looking as aggressive as he did as a normal puppy back home while jeering at the bad guy in Thunderbolt.
"Whoa! I'm so glad that you're on our side, Patch." Squirt smiled.
"Of course, Once a Pound Puppy, Always a Pound Puppy." Patch smiled to them, reciting their motto that they had taught him.
"Well, we better keep going if we are going to find those kids." Strudel said.
Spike rushed over and panted as they were on their way. "Guys, wait!"
Patch turned his head. "What is it, Spike?"
"I saw the wolf!" Spike panted.
"Where did you see the wolf?" Patch asked.
"It was back there," Spike turned his head to the bush Angelica was by and she was now looking for the dogs who ditched her. "I'm worried it's gonna get the kids."
"Not while I'm around." Patch growled.
"That wolf better back off Tommy and Dil, or else-" Spike said before growling menacingly, then looked normal again. "I mean it!"
"Then we better keep going." Squirt said.
"Do you know exactly where the wolf went, spike?" Strudel asked.
"Come with me." Spike told the Pound Puppies.
"Lead the way." Patch said.
Spike tried to catch the wolf's scent and pointed one direction. "This way!"
Patch, Lucky, Strudel, Squirt, and Niblet then followed Spike so they could stop the wolf before he hurts someone important.
"That wolf is gonna get it!" Patch growled.
"You said it, kid!" Spike agreed as he led the way.
"CYNTHIA!" Angelica wailed as she followed the dogs, not knowing where they were actually going.
"That's the end of the nightmare, right?" Akito folded his arms. "Wrong... We followed the monkeys, but it started to rain."
"Oh, no!" Eloise cried.
"Yeah, and whenever it rains, it always means one thing, it just goes from bad to worse." Estelle said.
"Rain always seems to come whenever someone's alone and miserable..." Eloise huffed.
"True that." Akito and Estelle said.
"Trust me, rainy days at the Plaza are so boring, boring, boring!" Eloise sighed. "Anyway... Please continue..."
"It was getting late, and even though we didn't find the ranger station, we decided to get some sleep." Estelle replied.
"Yeah, and where the rain was kind of getting to Tommy." Akito said.
"How badly?" Eloise frowned, a little worried.
"Well..." Akito said.
Flashback goes to where the kids are now in the middle of a thunderstorm. Estelle and Akito huddled closer together as it was starting to get cold and rather dark. The monkey that was leading them started to shake and shiver from the rain.
"Guess we better stop for the night?" Estelle suggested.
"Yeah, but where?" Akito asked.
"Lead that to us into finding the spot to spend the night." The girl monkey said.
The lead monkey nodded and went to find a nice, comfortable spot that would be decent enough for humans to stay for the night.
Tommy was getting very hungry. "I think I have a juice box with Dil's bottle somewhere."
"That's good to know." Estelle smiled.
The lead monkey gave them a spot where they would have their own space, but still be not too far from each other. "Get some rest, friends... You've earned it, we'll start fresh when you awaken."
"Thank you!" the kids told the Russian monkey.
The lead monkey tipped his hat to them and went to sleep in a high tree with his family.
"Well, we might as well get some sleep now." Akito smiled.
Tommy was looking for his juice, but after Dil drank his bottle, he had found Tommy's juice and drank it all up.
"Dil, you didn't leave any for me!" Tommy frowned at his baby brother.
Dil babbled about the juice being all gone and he giggled, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"This has got to get better." Akito said.
Tommy put the blanket around him and his brother, but Dil was being a nuisance again.
"Dil, please, go to sleep..." Estelle begged the baby.
Tommy and Dil then started to fight over the blanket.
"Man, I'm glad I don't have a brother..." Akito muttered, not aware of how true that statement really was.
Soon enough, Tommy and Dil fought over the blanket so badly that it tore in half and Tommy fell into a mud puddle.
"Oh, dear..." Estelle said.
Dil giggled to his messy older brother.
"You think it's funny?" Tommy grew angry. "Phil and Lil were right! You're a bad, naughty baby, and you're never gonna get any better! I'm through being your big brother! I don't want my 'sponsativity' no more!"
"Tommy!" Akito and Estelle called in concern.
Tommy threw his father's watch against the tree and the monkeys woke up and looked concerned at the scene as well. "You want monkeys? Oh, okay... I'll give you monkeys. You'll have a monkey mommy and a monkey daddy and a monkey brother! I should've let my friends take you back to the hospital, but, no, I said, 'He didn't mean it', I said. 'He was only playing'! Dil wants monkeys, and monkeys want the bananas. So everybody gets what they want!" He then lifted the baby food, about to cover his baby brother with it so the monkeys would take Dil away and never come back.
This story was starting to make Eloise's eyes fill up with tears.
Estelle gave her younger cousin a hug. "Oh, Ellie, it's okay..."
Eloise sniffled, she took out her frilly laced pink hanky and started to wipe her eyes and blow her nose. "Oh, please continue, did Tommy do it?" she asked while wiping her tears.
"At first he looked like he was, but when he saw the sad look in Dil's eyes, he didn't cover him with the food." Akito told her.
"Oh, thank heavens..." Eloise sounded relieved.
"It was really heartbreaking..." Estelle agreed.
Back to the story, Tommy changed his mind once he saw how scared and broken his brother seemed and apologized. "I'm sorry, Dil..."
"Toto..." Dil mumbled.
"It's okay, Dil," Tommy hugged his baby brother. "Everything's going to be okay."
Eloise was glad that Tommy did that, but she still felt emotional, so she hugged her pug dog.
"And so, Tommy decided to bring Dil back inside, so then both of them could be dry and could sleep." Akito narrated.
Eloise smiled. "Do they still get along to this day?"
"Sure, they fight once in a while, but that doesn't stop them from loving each other." Akito reassured.
Eloise looked thoughtful for a moment. "I guess I could learn to get along with my new baby brother or sister... Even if they'll steal Mommy and Daddy from me..."
"Oh, so then, I guess you don't want to hear the rest of the story?" Akito asked with a playful smirk.
"No, don't stop!" Eloise begged with a smile. "I'll listen, I'll listen!"
Akito and Estelle chuckled a little to that, they were glad that Eloise was learning her lesson, but it was still rather funny.
"Please continue..." Scruffy agreed, his tail was wildly wagging as he was in as much anticipation as Eloise.
"We better continue the story." Patch chuckled.
"This is where it gets better, sure, there was a wolf, but it gets better." Akito promised.
"Go on..." Eloise encouraged.
In another part of the forest, the adults, especially the mothers, were getting devastated about possibly never seeing their children again as they rode in the Jeep, but it got caught in the mud.
"Oh, we'll never find them," Didi cried as they found the more helpful of the two park rangers. "Can't you do something?"
"Come on, baby, come on..." Margaret tried to drive the jeep out of the sticky mud.
'Sky Pickle to Ground Pickle.' Stu's voice was heard on the CB.
"That's Stu!" Mo said.
"Stu, hello, are you there?" Didi answered urgently.
Stu was flying in a glider that looked like a pterodactyl, Atticus was running with Cherry, of course with Atticus being quicker than the average person, they managed to keep up with him. "Roger that, Deed, we have aerial search!" He then collided into a flock of ducks by accident.
"This better work..." Cherry rolled her eyes as she and Atticus ran with Stu to get their children back from the forest.
"If Stu says that this will work, then it will work." Atticus told her.
"Oh, brother..." Cherry rolled her eyes slightly as they kept running.
