[Bernice's POV]
few days later...
I thought that Tommy and Beatrice deserved a nice trip to some place nice and relaxing with nice water and sand.

and what better place to go than the Arcadetown's Beach...it was like nice and plus it was like something out of a 3D High-Definition Video Game...

it was going to be perfect! and it would make up for me running off like the way I did...

all so Dad sign me up at School here too and I had to promise to try to behave though it was really hard to 'behave' when your Big Sis's ex-boyfriends try to hit on you...they were lucky they didn't take my first kiss other wise I would of sock'em one in their smug faces...

and even though I had manage to ignore them and walk away from them and even ignore the stupid snobby girls at the school who seem to enjoy teasing my siblings and now seem to like teasing me though I made a mental note to myself if they and those boys bother me outside of this school they would get it...

and like I promise when I was outside the school and was going to wait for Tommy and Beatrice...

one of Beatrice's ex-boyfriends came up to me and ask me if I would go out on a date with them and of course I gave them the only answer that all boys seem to understand when they meet me when I first came here...

I kick him in the gut and then I punch him in the gut while saying "I Will Never Date a Jerk like you! You Hurt My Big Sis! and let me tell ya this..."I said before I grab him by his shirt and make him look down at my eye level "I will make you feel so much pain if you EVER Mess with my Sister again...So if you try anything funny you'll wake up with Pink Tutu Dress on ya and your hair turn pink and you hanging upside down by your feet with a sign taped to your back saying 'I am a Heartless Guy who likes being Mean to Girls!'
and so you tell your buddies if I ever and I mean EVER Catch ya messing with me or my family again I will make you wish you went to a different school...do you understand me...?!"I said to him and he seem to get the point cause he seem really freak out and even after I let him go and watch him run off back to his friends...

and as for the girls who had been picking on Beatrice as she and Tommy came outside of the school the girls saw me and thought it be fun to try to mess with me so the leader girl of the group came over to me and started to tease me and call me names and me just looking at her and feeling annoyed at her...

she even started to tease me about my eyes and how they don't match Tommy and Beatrice's eyes at all...

so what if they didn't match? it's okay that twins don't have the same eye color not all twins do...and me and my siblings are living proof...

I all so started to think it wouldn't be worth even talking to these annoying girls so I just look over to Tommy and Beatrice and told them that I think it is time for us to get going...

and of course as we were about to leave Miss Leader Girl yells to me that she wasn't done talking to me...

to which I told her this while looking at her and glaring as I said "Yeah well I don't talk to trash like you..."though after I said that and turn my head back to facing forward I suddenly felt something being thrown at my back and I turn back around and look down and saw that the leader girl had thrown her shoe at my back and I look up at her and glare and she yells out at me that I shouldn't call her trash and right now I was facing her and place my hands on my hips and I smirk smugly as I told her it was the truth and her and her little friends better stay clear from me when I get in a real bad mood or else things would get really ugly...

and in truth it would get ugly...I mean I know I showed my bad temper before but I can't help but feel that if I let it get too out of control it wouldn't be very pretty...

though what leader girl said next really wanted me to break loose and really let her have it with my fist...

she said that 'isn't it ugly enough with your face around' and to which I couldn't help but run forward to her and was ready to punch her right in her stupid face when I stop myself just as she was putting her arms up to shield herself from the hit and with her friends just standing there watching to see what will happen and both Tommy and Beatrice yelling to me saying that I shouldn't and that she isn't worth it though it wasn't Tommy and Beatrice that stop me...but it was two different reasons...

like the thought of maybe I shouldn't punch this girl right now and I should save it for when she really does something very terrible...
and the other thing was how her friends didn't even lift a finger to try to stop me from hitting her and one of them seem interested and had a smug smirk on her face as she was looking at their 'leader and friend'...

some how I knew these girls weren't really this girl's 'real friends' some how I couldn't help but feel these girls were only with this girl cause how popular she is and if they hang around her they would be popular too...

and she must of lost her footing cause she fell over on her butt and some of her friends even snickers and giggles and she looks at them and they stop and they said that it was Beatrice to which I told them to "knock it off you drones! you ain't even this girl's real friends! if you all were you would of stop me from trying to punch her lights out! to which she is very lucky I didn't!"I said to them before looking back at the leader girl and I reach down and grab her hand and help her up though I did most of the work getting her up she didn't even bother to help though I guess she was a little surprise I help her up...

and after I did I turn away from her though I was facing to where her friends were standing and I wasn't looking forward as I told her this...
"listen...you may think those girls are your friends but some how I get this feeling they are only 'friends' with ya cause of how 'popular' you are and that can only get you so far...being popular shouldn't be earn from whatever way you are use to getting your way...but I will tell you this...the ones who act like you and your so called 'friends' who are called 'popular'...well I will tell you the truth...that ain't popular...something like true popular person either it be a girl or boy is showing you have heart and care about others no matter if you are shy, short tempered or even the type who aren't much notice by others but still show they care cause they got heart to which you and your drones who aren't even real friends, don't have! you need to ask yourself this do you want to keep acting like the kind of girl that everybody hates and thinks that you will never show a true act of kindness or do you want to be true to yourself and look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you want to try to change and be a better person and get real friends and not girls who are only using you to become more popular...cause from what I saw on your 'friends' faces that is what it look like on their faces when they seem to want to watch you get hit in the face..."I said to her to which she seem to be even more shocked and look to her friends...

and what shocked me even more is that they told her the truth and didn't even try to deny it...

she seem really upset and she seem to yell at them in anger for being such worthless friends who weren't really having her back and were only with her because she was popular and she seem so upset that she ran past me and even ran past Tommy and Beatrice...

I kinda felt bad now and I thought I would make things right by going after her and talk things over with her...even if she is a mean girl, even she didn't need friends like that who are only with her because she is popular...

when I finally caught up with her she was crying near a tree and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty at what happen back there...

but if no one else was going to tell the truth it was better said right then and there...she was going to find out soon enough that those girls weren't her true friends...

as we talk I found out she wasn't really the 'leader of those girls' but they were friends with her cousin Angie and they started to hang out with her too while the rest of Angie's friends hang out with her...she thought that they liked her but in truth after what I said about them only liking her cause she was 'popular' well she felt kinda bad for not seeing it sooner...

her name was Rosemary Pikowski and her hair was a bright red color and she had green eyes and she had a little bit of freckles on her cheeks...she all so had on a red t-shirt with pink letters that said 'Queen' and she had on a pink skirt on too...

now that I look at her..she didn't seem all that bad...sure she did act all stuck up before and acted mean but truth be told..she might be really good deep down...

all so I notice how she seem bothered when a toon bird came by and had sit it self on her left knee and at first I thought she didn't see it but then she prove me wrong when she started to slap her hand to it and telling it to go away and telling the bird to go fly off some place else and I couldn't help but ask her how is it she could see that toon bird and to which she seem to be shocked and was looking at me like as if I had told her a big secret.
and she thought that she was just seeing things that weren't really there and that she might need to go see someone about her...

I had to tell her she isn't the only one who sees them and they were very much real...

and plus I told her she should try to be more nice and try to look for true friends that wouldn't be like the ones she had before...

she told me she would try the best she could to do that...and I guess in a way...I became her friend too by giving that advice...

all so after my little talk with Rosemary I went back to where Tommy and Beatrice are at and I had to explain to them what me and Rosemary were talking about and all so telling them that she can all so see toons too to which really surprise them to find out that she could see toons...

and as we left for home one girl who was in one of the classes I was taking runs past us before jumping up and then getting on to her hands and started to stand on one hand and then the other before doing a flip in the air and landing back on her feet and she looks at us with a big smile and waves at us...

Beatrice and Tommy ask me who she was and I told them that she was in the class I was taking...and that her name was Phyllis Coco Valiant...they seem shock to hear her last name was Valiant though I didn't really see how shocking that was I mean why shouldn't anyone else have their last name be Valiant...
Phyllis and her sisters had just moved into the neighborhood and Phyllis was all ways acting well I guess you could say really cheerful...

all so when Greasy and Psycho met us half way as we were walking down to the house and Phyllis was going the same way cause it turns out she lives next door to us...and well she seem to stop in mid skip and look to Greasy and Psycho and wave to them and saying "Hi There Mr Weasels!" before skipping away and giggling most of the way and I couldn't help but giggle at the shock looks on Greasy and Psycho's faces and when I look at Tommy and Beatrice they seem shocked as well...

and anyway when it became Saturday I thought it be nice to try to spend some time with Tommy and Beatrice and all so
make up for me running off...

though it didn't turn out the way I wanted...when I wanted to take them both to the Arcadetown's Beach we ended up bringing the Toon Patrol...and even though I didn't invite them they came anyway...

oh well it wasn't like I could really tell them no and they would most likely follow them either way...

I watch as Flasher and Slimy as they were kicking sand at Sleazy and Psycho who were making a sand castle...

"Serious you guys that is so immature...why don't you do something useful and help Psycho and Sleazy make another sand castle..."I told Slimy and Flasher before getting up off the beach towel I was on and grabbing the bag with my bikini in it and I look over to Beatrice who was sitting next to Greasy and I told her that I was going to go change into my bikini in the girl's bathroom/changing room and I ask her to watch my stuff and make sure Psycho didn't eat the chocolate bar and drink the soda I have cause I don't want him to get too hyper...as much as I love how cute and adorable Psycho can be I didn't think it would be wise to give him both chocolate and a soda cause we would most likely start chasing him around as he runs at super speed all over the Beach...how do I know this?

well a few days ago while watching a Movie with Psycho, Stupid and Sleazy...

I had a can of soda in one hand and a chocolate bar in the other and I took a bite of my chocolate and took a drink of my soda and I was about to take another bite of my chocolate bar when I saw Psycho sniffing at the chocolate bar and looking up at me with the most adorable look that I ever seen and of course I ask him if he wanted my chocolate bar and he even went all "You Don't Mind?" and giving me the most cutest smile on his face I ever see...I told him it was fine and I can all ways get another one...

and well he took it and thank me first before he started to eat on the chocolate bar...after he finish and lick the chocolate off his lips he then look thirsty so I handed him my soda and to which he once again thank me...

I wasn't really sure if Psycho liked me enough to be my friend or not...I mean so far the only weasel I seem to have been able to make friends with was Sleazy...he was the only one who knew about the Castle back at Arcadetown...

but anyway Psycho got all hyper when he ate the chocolate bar and drink the soda and well he ran all over the house and talking really fast and some words that were hard to pick up and plus me, Stupid and Sleazy had to run all over the place and try to catch him before he did something that might get me in trouble...though seeing him all hyper like this was both funny and adorable.

and thankfully his sugar rush went away and he flop down on the floor and went to sleep, I thought it was so cute I went all girly and pick him up and said "Awww! Who's all tired from his sugar rush?" though after I said that I went from the sweet and girly look to a glare to Stupid and Sleazy and told them Never and I mean NEVER tell anybody not even the others of the Toon Patrol or even my big bro and big sis about me having a girly side, and if they ever told I wouldn't let them go to the neat Night Club that was in Arcadetown...and of course they said they would keep it a secret though I told Sleazy to keep a eye on Stupid and make sure he doesn't let the cat out of the bag though when Stupid heard me say 'let the cat out of the bag' he thought I meant a real cat and a real bag cause he yell out that he didn't have no cat in no bag...I had to explain to Stupid it was a figure of speech...

I just hope that Stupid didn't say anything about my girly side showing...I mean I'm a tomboy and I didn't need the Toon Patrol teasing me for having a girly side...though I guess at times I did let a little of my girly side slip out though I guess the others barely notice at all...I just hope that Sleazy will be able to keep Stupid's mouth shut about it...

and anyway after explaining to Stupid of the 'who let the cat out of the bag' is a figure of speech, I took Psycho into my room to rest up and as I went to my room I place him on my bed and put the covers over him and made sure the pillow was comfortable under his head and after I that I went out of the room and let him sleep to which he all ready was...

and me, Stupid and Sleazy went back to watching the movie though when Beatrice, Tommy and the other Toon Patrol came back they found us watching a movie and of course Smarty ask Stupid where Psycho was and Stupid was about to answer him but I cut him off and told him that Psycho is sleeping in my room right now because he had a little too much sugar when I gave him my chocolate bar and soda...and Smarty didn't seem to care at the moment cause he wanted Psycho up right now so he orders both Slimy and Flasher to go and get Psycho and they of course obey and was heading to my room but for they could get to the door I went over to the front of the door and told them to leave Psycho alone and let him rest...and of course the one to tell me to move it was Slimy and of course I kick both Slimy and Flasher away and they landed next to Greasy and I walk over to them and the others and I told them that if anyone tries to wake up Psycho from his nap time they are going to answer to me...

and anyway that was like a few days ago...and right now I am at the Arcadetown's Beach with my brother, sister and the Toon Patrol.

and I was heading into the changing room to change into my bikini...

I wasn't going to swim by the way...I was only going to work on giving myself a little bit of a tan...
it doesn't have to be a perfect tan but still I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to get a tan...

when I went into the changing room to change into the light blue bikini, I heard some yelling outside of the room I was in and after which after I was done changing I got out of the girl's changing room and now I was outside I saw what the yelling was about...

Sleazy was push face first into the sand...and the ones who did it was Slimy and Flasher and I couldn't help but glare at them and walk over to them and tap their shoulders and they stop laughing and they look behind themselves and saw me and right now I was glaring at them and I took them both by their ears and right now I didn't feel like giving them what for so I decided to let their boss handle them...so I went over to Smarty who was right now talking with Wheezy and Stupid...

"Yo Smarty! tell Your Slime Boy and Flashy Boy to Not pick on Sleazy by pushing his face into the sand! seriously I do not feel like giving them what for today so I will let you handle them...I need to go work on my tan...so hurry up and tell them some kinda lecturer about picking on Sleazy! cause I ain't doing it so you better give them a lecturer or else your going to hear a lecturer from me later on Mister Pretty in Pink!"I said to Smarty and I didn't bother hearing him out as he was about to tell me off as I knew he was about to but I didn't let him because I was starting to walk off back to the towel I was on before...

I took a sit down and took out some tanning oil and I started to place some in my hand and started to reach behind my back and try to place some of the tanning oil on my back...though it was kinda hard to do but I wasn't going to ask for help...

though it would seem I was going to get it anyway cause I saw a shadow that was shape like a weasel...

and when I look up I saw it was Smarty and he had his arms crossed and his face seem to be amused at me trying to put tannig oil on my back...

"ya need help with that Bernie?"he asks me to which I couldn't help but glare at him and calling me 'Bernie' instead of 'Bernice'...

seriously?! Bernice is my name he could at least not call me 'Bernie'...

I look away from him and told him "No I am fine I can do this by myself..." though he didn't seem so convinced...

"yeah sure...you don't need help..."Smarty said as he seem to be amused at me still trying to place the tanning oil on my back...

"That's Right I Don't..."I said to him while I am trying to place the tanning oil on my back but sadly I was failing miserably truthfully...

"you know I did ask Wheezy to come over here and help ya...but he said he rather didn't after you twos fight a few days ago
after all you two seem like you were a couple that just broke up...though you weren't really together in the first place..."he said to me and I couldn't help but feel off guard at what he said...

it was true me and Wheezy weren't going out...but I promise myself I would get over Wheezy after I saw him with that other girl he was with before...it was clear by his face he was in love with her...

and it was pretty clear even after what all that has happen he was over me...well my toon self honestly...he wasn't in love with me in my true form so I guess us being together is out of the question I guess and maybe I shouldn't even think about love right now...

I mean what should be more important right now is getting mom back safe and sound and getting that Other Mother ( who has acted as a imposter this whole time by the way ) back to where she came from...

there was no time for romance and plus I still need to get over the fact Wheezy is in love with someone else...but it was feeling hard to do so...

I must of space out for a second cause I felt something grab the bottle of tanning oil I was holding and I look over and saw Smarty who seem to look between serious and annoyed at me..."look I will help ya but this is only this one time...this doesn't mean I am doing this to be nice...I just don't want to keep watching ya try to put that tanning oil on your back so I am only going to help ya this one time...you got it?"Smarty said to me and as I was about to reach for the bottle of tanning oil he kept it out of my reach by pulling it away from my reach...and that really made me annoyed by how he wasn't letting me put it on myself and it look like he wasn't going to take no for a answer...

"Fine...you can put the tanning oil on my back but this doesn't mean we are friends after all...I mean I know you don't like me even after I kept calling ya so much on that phone of yours..."I said and to which he nods his head while placing some tanning oil on his hands and saying "you got that right...after all your just the kid sister of Thomas and Beatrice..."he said as he slaps the tanning oil on my back and it was too much and it made me jump a little and I glare over to him "Hey! watch it Smarty! you put too much all at once there! use a little tanning oil!"I scream at him to which he rolls his eyes at me "yeah yeah whatever you say, now stop your nagging and just let me get this stuff on your back so I can hurry back to where Wheezy and Stupid are at...we were talking about something very important before you interrupted us..."he said to me and to which I reach back and slap him over the head...

to which he yell out "Hey!" to me and I couldn't help but giggle a little and smirk.
"you had it coming and you know it...now are you done placing the tanning oil on my back?"I ask him and he nods his head before saying "Yes..."he said and I told him he could go back to Wheezy and Stupid now and go back to talking to whatever they were talking about and I all so told him thanks for helping though he said to me that it wont be a habit...

and after which I watch him walk back over to Wheezy and Stupid and while he went back to where he was before with them, I decided to put the rest of the tanning oil on my arms and legs and even some on my face...

I hope I wouldn't be ask to go into the water...I can't really swim and I can't let the others know that...maybe I could learn to swim next summer...

[Beatrice's Pov]

I sat down on the high-def sand of the beach in Arcade Town with "A Witch of Blackbird Pond" in my hands. The heat from the sun touched my shoulders, arms, legs, feet, and face and it felt really good. Thank goodness that I already put sunscreen on. I certainly don't want to get burned.

I'm not wearing a swimsuit. I'm wearing a white tank top (not the kind that have spaghetti straps), black shorts, and black sandals. Well, when I said that I wasn't wearing a swimsuit, I actually am (it's a navy blue and white one-piece) but it's completely covered up by the tank top and shorts. The last thing that I need is people staring at me.

Greasy was sitting next to me and he was still wearing his usual outfit. I'm probably going to guess that he doesn't like to swim.

"Reading?" He asked me.

"Yep." I replied.

"Don't like swimming?"

"I actually do like swimming. It's just that I'm not very familiar with this area or what the conditions of the water."

"'Conditions of the water'?" Greasy asked.

"I don't know if the water is completely calm or if can go really crazy after taking one step." I replied.

Greasy aimed his eyes at the water.

"Looks calm to me." He said.

"Yeah, it may seem like it." I replied. "But keep in mind that even though we're in a place like Toon Town, except that everything came from video games, and the beach can be really unpredictable at times."

"That's true."

Thank goodness that Greasy isn't asking me why I'm not wearing just a swimsuit. It would be too embarrassing (because the last time I wore just a one-piece swimsuit at a party, the people couldn't stop staring at my very skinny and bony body.). If Greasy was staring at my extremely skinny figure, I wouldn't be very comfortable around him and I probably would never go to the beach again.

I heard Greasy's coat making a flapping sound and I also heard his pants scratch the surface of his shirt. My guess is that Greasy is taking off his outfit and he's got his swimwear underneath.

I pretended that I was reading a part of a paragraph and quickly glanced at Greasy. His swimwear looked like he accidentally sewed a T-Shirt and shorts together and it was covered by green and white strips that ran horizontally across his body. Greasy looked like an oddly-shaped gingerbread with a baggy green and white candy cane sweater. In my head, I laughed because he looked a little silly. In reality, I'm just reading my book while listening to the seagulls and the ocean waves.

"This is one of the most relaxing days that I haven't had in a long time. Why can't every day be like today?" Greasy asked as he lied down on his back.

"I know, right?" I replied. "I was kind of thinking about the same thing."

"If we ever came back here, what would you do?"

I bookmarked a page with my finger and I began to think over the question as Greasy began to untie his shoes.

"I would try swimming around in the water." I said after thinking for a few minutes. "And maybe take a couple of pictures."

"Pictures?" Greasy asked.

"The scenery's very nice and I think that this beach has some really nice places to take pictures."

"Oh."

"What would you do if you came back here, Greasy?"

He began to snicker.

"Try to bury Boss under the sand but leaving his head out." Greasy said.

I laughed with him.

"That's really funny." I said. "I would always remember the look on Smarty's face after discovering that most of his body is buried underneath the sand."

"There's no way that I'm going to forget that!" Greasy laughed.

"Try burying most of Stupid's body underneath the sand."

Okay, now that made Greasy laugh really hard. I laughed along with him. We laughed and laughed until we slowly began to settle down and sigh in unison.

After that, I just stared at the sky and lied down on my back.

The ocean waves gave off a relaxing sound with the seagulls squawking in the background. It sounded so nice. I began to relax even more after I began to pick up traces of the salty air. Man, it's so nice at the beach of Arcade Town.

And Greasy's right. Why can't we come here more often?

It's so relaxing and I feel like I'm so busy that I don't have the time to settle down and enjoy life.

As the waves continued to make their soothing splashing sound, my eyes began to droop as the salty air and the splashing waves put me under a sleeping spell. Everything faded into a whisper after my eyes slowly closed.

[Greasy's Pov]

I don't remember falling asleep at the beach of Arcade Town but I do remember seeing muchacha sleeping with her book on her chest. I haven't seen her that relaxed since the night of staying in the hospital when I fell into a coma and when she got shot by Judge Doom.

I must admit that the ocean waves and the seagulls were both really good sounds. They sound really...relaxing. I sighed and looked at the sky for a few minutes. Nothing but a few seagulls flew around in the sky and the clouds were...just random shapes that were slowly drifting across the sky, like they usually do. Then, without thinking, I decided to close my eyes for a few minutes and after that, I'll wake up muchacha and I'll try to convince her to swim around in the water.

It wasn't until I felt something pinch me and I woke up all of the sudden, exclaiming in pain and surprise. I looked down at my feet and I saw...a crab pinching one of its claws on one of my right toes. I shook it off and it flew off my foot.

"Hey, Greasy." Wheezy said. "Did you have a nice nap?"

"I don't even remember falling asleep..." I replied. "...but other than that, I had a really good nap."

Wheezy blows out a cloud of smoke as Stupid and Boss walk up to him. All three of them were snickering.

"What's funny?" I asked. "What did I miss?"

Boss cleared his throat and replied,

"Tell Birchwood that Bernie says it's time to leave the beach and head back to the real world."

"All right." I said.

Then, I noticed something else. I can move my feet but I can't move my arms. I began to wiggle around and I began to find it hard to move my body, except for my feet.

"What the heck?" I asked myself.

Then, Wheezy, Stupid, and Boss began to laugh.

"There's no way that you're going to get out!" Wheezy exclaimed. "We buried most of your body under the sand! We did the same to Beatrice!"

I turned my head to my left and I saw that muchacha (who's face was sun burnt) was still asleep but her head and feet were sticking out...due to most of her body being buried underneath the sand. Oh, she looks so relaxed...and beautiful. Oh, what am I saying? We're both buried under the sand!

"Muchacha?" I asked. "Muchacha, wake up."

Then, I heard her groan and her eyes fluttered open.

"What did I miss? What time is it?" She asked.

"You're buried under the sand." I said. "And I'm buried, too. Can you move around?"

Muchacha began to wiggle around but she barely even moved.

"I can't." She said. "I'm stuck."

"Where's Thomas?" I asked Boss.

"He's getting out of the 'quarter'...and he's running towards us." He replied.

"Good." I said. "Muchacha and I could use some help from him."

Then, I felt another pinch.

I jumped in surprise and I...stood up and started to jump around in pain like I had my hand caught in a bear trap.

"AGGH! STUPID CRAB!" I exclaimed.

Then, I stopped jumping around, picked up the crab, and threw it at the ocean. It skipped like a rock.

I realized that I just got myself out of the sand. Now, all I have to do is get muchacha out of the sand and (sadly, for me) take her back home.

"You all right, Greasy?" Muchacha asked me as I walked up to her.

"What's going-Oh, my gosh!" Bernice exclaimed.

Psycho giggled and Thomas ran up towards me and muchacha.

"Okay, who's idea was it to bury Beatrice?" He asked.

"Duh, it was our idea." Stupid replied.

Boss whacked him on the back of his head.

"Shut up!" He exclaimed. "That was supposed to be a 'secrete'!"

"Was that the 'important thing' that you were talking about earlier?" Bernice asked Smarty.

"Hello?" I asked. "We have a pretty girl buried under the sand and we should help her out."

"I know a way that we can help Pretty Girly." Psycho said.

"What is it?" Thomas asked.

"We get little crab...make it angry..."

Muchacha had a look of horror on her face.

"Oh, no, no, no." She said. "I do not want to get pinched by a crab."

"It's all right, muchacha." I said. "We're not going to do that to you. I don't want to hurt you."

Then, I looked at her feet, which were sticking out of the sand.

I walked towards muchacha's feet, took off her...sandals...and I looked at her.

"If you're thinking what I think you're thinking..." She said, as if she were reading my mind. "...let me tell you this: Don't you dare tickle my feet."

"Muchacha, just relax." I said. "We're going to get you out. We're not going to use the crab because that's too painful for you. This is probably the only way to help you get out."

At first, muchacha was very unsure about what I said but after a few seconds of thinking over on what I said, she sighed.

"Okay." She said. "But we cannot tell anybody about this."

"All right." I replied. "Psycho, can you come help me out here?"

"Time to help Pretty Girly." Psycho giggled as he grabbed one of muchacha's feet.

Then, we began to stroke our fingers up, down, and across the bottoms of muchacha's feet. She jerked for a second and then, she began to wriggle around. Slowly, Bernice, Thomas, Boss, Wheezy, and Stupid joined in on tickling muchacha's feet.

"This is 'sumptin' that we should've done a long time ago." Boss laughed.

Then, muchacha began to laugh out loud.

"This is torture!" She said while giggling.

After a few more minutes of tickling her feet, muchacha pulled her arms out from the sand and began to push herself out from underneath the sand.

"Okay, boys!" Boss said while laughing. "That's enough. We got her out."

As muchacha was catching her breath, I asked,

"You okay?"

"Yeah." She replied. "I think that our conversation about thinking about how Smarty and Stupid would react if they found themselves buried under the sand is what made Smarty, Stupid, and Wheezy have the idea of burying us."

I looked at Boss, Stupid, and Wheezy as they were making their way to the car with Thomas, Bernice, and...Slimy and Flasher (Wonder where they have been all this time.).

"Yeah, you're right." I said.

"The next time that we have a conversation like that, we should keep our funny thoughts to ourselves." Muchacha said.

I nodded as we got up and followed the others.

"I'll keep that in mind." I said.

[Bernice's Pov]
I knew I promise myself I would get over Wheezy but I couldn't help but keep asking him as we were heading back home in the Toon Patrol Car on why he wont love me? and whats wrong with me?! and is it because I am not good enough for him or something like that...

though he kept ignoring my questions and I was really starting to think perhaps he did think he was too good for me and all so the fact I was starting to believe he will keep ignoring my questions...

when the car stop the first ones to get out was Tommy, Beatrice, Psycho, Stupid, Slimy, Flasher and Sleazy...and yes Greasy was the one who was driving.

the last ones to get out was me, Wheezy and Smarty...I was the first to step out of the back of the car and I couldn't help but glare in the open doors of the car and I heard foot steps coming to the back of the doors of the car and it was dark and night time now so I didn't see who was coming out but I thought it was Wheezy cause well I had to tell him and show him how much I love him and even if he rejects me I guess I should try to get over him and not even bother trying to get him to love me...
while I reach inside the open doors of the Toon Patrol's Car and I close my eyes and I yell out to him
"Why Can't You Love Me Wheezy!?"and as I pulled him out of the back I kissed him on the lips for a full 30 seconds and I suddenly heard some snickering behind me and I didn't know what the snickering was about but as I open my eyes I was shocked to find out it wasn't Wheezy who I gave my first kiss too...
but the one I did kiss was the last one I thought I would give a kiss to...it was Smarty...
I stop kissing him and I had let go of him and letting him fall to the ground and his face looked shock (and possibly disgusted...)

"I'm So Sorry! I didn't mean to! I thought I...oh man I am so Sorry Smarty! I'm Sorry! Please Forgive Me!"I said to him though he didn't say anything and he seem a little space out now...

oh great! not only did I kiss the wrong guy by mistake! and now I broke Smarty!

I look down at the ground sadly...this just wasn't my day...well night actually...I felt a hand on my shoulder...

I look down at my purple t-shirt before looking over to the one who place their hand on my shoulder and I saw it was Tommy...

"I...I'm fine really...I just...need to go to my room...I need to be alone to clean my room...I think I left it a mess."I said as I was lieing about my room needed to be clean and I had left it a mess...

that was only excuse to get away from everyone and not see the looks on their faces after what I mistakenly did...

I never felt so embarrassed in my whole life...

Stupid Wheezy! Stupid Me! Why didn't I wait until we were inside to wait to see who I was going to kiss!?

I only meant to kiss Wheezy but instead I kissed Smarty by mistake! and now I can't even face either of them...

as I was running into the house I thought I heard Psycho said something about "hehehe When she kissed him his hat pop off his head!" I am guessing he was talking about Smarty and the shock of me kissing him was too much and the possibility of him being disgusted by it and I wouldn't really blame him for feeling that way cause if I took the time to notice I might of notice I found it disgusting myself...

I shut my bedroom door and went to my bed and I made sure to lock my door cause I really didn't want Smarty to come in and start yelling at me for kissing him like that...and it was a mistake! I didn't mean to! I only meant to kiss Wheezy! but instead I kiss Smarty instead and I really feel like a fool for doing it...

I buried my face into my pillow and started to cry...I felt so stupid, foolish and weak after what happen...

I wish I never started to fall in love with Wheezy and get all these girlish girly feelings...

I was best left off being the tough girl and not falling in love...

I will try to ignore Smarty for a couple of days maybe for a whole year until this whole thing blows over...

all so I saw the strangest thing before I left the others to go inside and to my room...

I thought I saw Wheezy glaring daggers at Smarty and he was all so smoking a lot of smoke out of his mouth more than normal too...like a dragon...

I guess Wheezy might be angry at Smarty for letting his guard down and he might scold him later for not being careful even if he is the leader...

I doubt it was because Wheezy was jealous...and I might as well give up on him and any chance of trying to get him to like me...

all so I thought I saw after he look angry at Smarty (for most likely letting his guard down when I kiss him...) he then suddenly started to smirk and look very amused.

[Greasy's Pov]

After parking the car, I was about to go inside the muchacha's house with Wheezy when I heard Bernice exclaim, "Why can't I love you, Wheezy?!"

In my head, I chuckled.

I knew it all along. The hermana menor of the muchacha and Thomas was in love with Wheezy.

Then, all of the sudden, I heard Boss exclaim in surprise and I turned my head to the car.

My eyes popped out of my head, my jaw dropped, and Wheezy began to snicker. We were watching Boss getting kissed by Bernice!

Eventually, I began to join Wheezy and I began to laugh after Bernice was apologizing to Boss too many times. What cracked me up even more was the surprised look on Boss's face after Bernice dropped him and took off running.

"You okay, Boss?" I asked while laughing. "Did you enjoy your kiss?"

Boss frowned at me.

"I enjoyed it all right." He said with-what's that called?-sarcasm.

"Really, Boss?" Wheezy asked.

"That was 'sarcoplasm', Wheezy! I didn't enjoy the kiss! It was nasty!"

My laughter was slowly going away as I said,

"Kissing may be disgusting at first but you'll get used to it."

Wheezy coughed and wheezed.

"That's because you've been kissing every woman in Los Angeles and possibly some in Toon Town!" He exclaimed.

"Well, he's been with Birchwood for some time and he hasn't kissed her yet." Boss said to Wheezy.

I immediately stopped laughing.

"Is that true, Greasy?" Wheezy asked.

"It's true." I replied sadly. "I haven't kissed her yet."

Pause.

"When are you going to kiss her?" Boss asked.

I looked at Boss and Wheezy. I didn't answer Boss's question and I turned around and walked towards the house of muchacha.

It's true that I've kissed muchacha on her head and on her cheeks a couple of times but I never actually kissed her on her labios. If only muchacha wasn't too shy about kissing, due to having very bad dates in the past, and tries to continue with her life, then-well, I think that she wouldn't be scared.

Well, I don't really blame muchacha for being nervous but I think that she shouldn't continue with her life by being scared to be kissed. Although that sort of thing requires patience, I will be able to help muchacha get over her fear.

That way, I can have my kiss and help at the same time.

But wait a minute.

What if muchacha is still very nervous? What if she resists?

If muchacha still resists, then I wouldn't be bothered by that. If she's not ready, then I can give her more time. There's no rush at all.

I want to kiss muchacha because I love her with all my heart but at the same time, I don't want to rush her or upset her in any way.

Although I have experience love a lot, it's a very complicated thing.

[Bernice's Pov]

I was still having my face buried into my pillow when my cell phone started to ring and I got up and I could still feel the dry tears on my face to where I had been crying...I got up off my bed and went over to the cell phone and pick it up.

"Hello...Bernice speaking...who may I ask is calling..."I said and then there was a long pause before the other person on the other end spoke up.

"Boss? you sound upset, what goes on over there?"the voice of a male sounded over the other end of the phone call and I knew who it was calling.

before I left Arcadetown and before the others found me, it was a few days ago that I met up with some toon weasels who just move from Toontown to Arcadetown to start a new life.

their names were Twitchy, Drunky, Copy, Antoine, Hunter, Ragtag, Scummy and Crazy (and Crazy was the only girl by the way.)

and well I gave them the job at the Arcadetown Police Department and I told them that dip isn't allowed to be used at all cause in Arcadetown it was forbidden and any Toon caught dipping a Toon either it be a good guy or bad guy will be thrown in Arcadetown's jail for a whole year or until their friends or family can pay for them to be let out.

and anyway the one on the other line was Ragtag he and the others tend to call me Boss at times now ever since they found out I kinda own Arcadetown and am it's leader...

but of course while I'm not there I have others to take care of the place while I am away though I guess I should really find some one else to take care of the place while I am away and not to forget the Arcadetown's Castle.

I know it is my second home now but I feel a lot better if some one live in and took care of it...

I all so offered Ragtag and his friends to stay at the Castle too and of course they all accepted but I feel that perhaps I should have more Toons stay at the Castle with them, I mean who would keep a eye on things while Ragtag and the others are busy keeping the peace in Arcadetown and making sure no dip is being used.

sure dip doesn't work on CGI-Toons cause they are made up of type of Computer Animated data and how I found this out was because some toon from Toontown thought it be a good idea to try to dip one of the bad guys who live in Arcadetown and well when they pour the dip on the CGI-Toon it didn't cause them to melt...

but I did throw that Toon from Toontown in Arcadetown's jail for attempted dipping a Toon...

and that is when I made the law that dip was not allowed in Arcadetown unless it was the food kind of dip that you can dip your chips in but if it was the dip that kills Toons it wasn't allowed and whoever is caught with dip inside Arcadetown will be place in jail.

"you still there Boss Lady?"Ragtag asks me and I shook my head a little as I guess I kinda space out for a second there.

"yeah Ragtag I am here...sorry I kinda space out there...so what do you want?"I ask him as he chuckles a little on the other end.

"well Boss Lady, we got word on some Toons who wish to try to dip some Toons who had moved into Arcadetown from Toontown, and the Toons who want to use the dip are from Toontown and they are all 'good guys'...what you have us do?"Ragtag asks me and I couldn't help but feel angry at this.

"How Dare They! do they wish to be thrown in jail! I made it a law that The Dip isn't allowed in Arcadetown and anyone who is caught with it will be in deep trouble! though I find no problem with dip that is for food like for dipping chips but that is not the point! I want you to catch these so called 'good guys' and throw them away in jail! and if they ever try to come in Arcadetown again I want wanted posters up everywhere in Arcadetown! they are not allowed to get away with such a Crime! I will protect all those who live in Arcadetown both Toon and CGI-Toon! and if they still don't learn their lesson I will have to teach them myself by kicking their butts!"I said in anger as I felt like kicking the butt of whoever tried to dip the toons who now live in Arcadetown.

"Wow take it easy 'Princess' no need to get off the handle there...anyway would you like to hear the names of the Toons who are being targeted?"Ragtag asks me on the other end and I calm down a little and went over to my bed and sit down and rub my forehead.

"yes please..."I said as I took some breaths in and out to try to calm myself more.

"well the Toons who are being targeted is Bushroot, Liquidator, Megavolt, Quackerjack and NegaDuck from that Darkwing Duck Cartoon."Ragtag said and I nod my head at this even though he couldn't see me nod my head.

I kinda liked those guys they were my favorite bad guys on that show and of course Darkwing Duck was one of my favorite good guys on that show too.

"tell them they are welcome to stay at the Castle...now then who is after them and trying to dip them?"I ask in a serious voice.

"well you ain't gonna like it Boss Lady but you may want to sit down for it."he tells me and I roll my eyes.

"I'm already sitting down Ragtag now tell me who is trying to dip Bushroot, Liquidator, Megavolt, Quackerjack and NegaDuck."I said as I could feel a slight headache coming on.

"okay well I got the list...Oh man! well I had the List!...Crazy! where is that list?!"Ragtag yells out and I could hear a crazy girlish giggle on the other end.

"Right Here Ragtag! hehehehe"I heard Crazy on the other end and I take it that she gave him the list that has the toons who wanted to dip Bushroot, Liquidator, Megavolt, Quackerjack and NegaDuck.

"Okay the list of the names are...Aladdin and Herman and all so-"he says but I cut him off.

"HERMAN IS PART OF IT!? YOU KIDDING ME?! WHAT WOULD HIS WIFE SAY?!"I cried out in surprise, shock and anger.

"wait Herman is Married...? to Who?"Ragtag asks in surprise and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Yes he is, and I happen to know his wife cause I ran into her while I was out shopping for some food for the Castle...
though at first I thought she was just a little girl but it turn out she was Baby Doll from that old Batman Cartoon, of course Baby Doll's Real Name is Marion Louise Dahl or just Mary Dahl for short...she may look like a child but she really is around I think 20 or 30 years old...she has what is called hypoplasia..."I said in a voice that shows I understand what she is going through cause she is all ways being look down on and thought of us a child when in fact she was a woman who has hypoplasia.

"hypo-what now?"Ragtag asks as he sounded confused as to what I just said.

"hypoplasia is a rare condition that keeps one who has it from ever growing up...there is a book about it in the Castle's Library it will explain more inside..."I said to him and Ragtag seem to take a long time to answer back "Oh! Okay then well I guess that would explain Herman then I mean even though some Toons don't age some do in fact but they tend to stop on a certain age and just stay there for the rest of there lives..."Ragtag said and I guess that could be it though I wasn't really sure if that was true...

"in any case Mary wont be happy to hear this news about her Husband...I want one of you guys to go over to Herman's place and inform Mary about what is going on...she has a right to know...I mean that old man has no right to keep such a thing from his own wife and I know she wouldn't be pleased by this little news and it could effect their whole marriage."I said as I lay down on my bed.

"I still can't believe that he is married...but yeah I will get Antoine and Hunter on that, I will send them over to Mrs Herman's place as soon as I can..."Ragtag said.

"Thanks Ragtag and after you get the job done I want you and the others to take the whole two weeks off you need the break I don't want ya all to get tired and over worked."I said to Ragtag who seem to be happy over the other end cause when he spoke he sounded happy.

"Gee Thanks Bernice that is nice of you, yeah me and the boys need the break I was thinking maybe we could go to that new place that open up and eat there...but all so why did you sound upset before? anything wrong?"he asks me and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and of course I was still upset but I couldn't let Ragtag know that...

"I'm fine Ragtag it's nothing...just keep a eye out for Aladdin and Herman and anyone who is working with them, I shall not allow them to hurt Bushroot, Liquidator, Megavolt, Quackerjack and NegaDuck or even use dip in Arcadetown! and I don't care if the ones working with them are good guys too they are going to jail for such a thing...these are your orders you are to arrest them on sight!"I said to Ragtag who chuckles "Boy if only girls back in Toontown were as take charge as you."he said over the phone and I couldn't help but giggle a little as what he said was kinda sweet.

"Well Thanks I will take that as a compliment, by the way have you caught whoever is stealing those robot parts from the robot store?"I ask him and he seem to sound tired as he spoke again.

"Nope sorry haven't found any lead yet and believe me we check all over Arcadetown for the ones who took those robot parts."Ragtag said in a tired voice.

"Well you do your best and don't give up but I don't want you to over work your self...and plus you sound tired, why don't you get some sleep."I said to him and he chuckles a little but when he did he did sound even more tired.

"Thanks...call ya later when we catch those guys who are trying to dip Bushroot, Liquidator, Megavolt, Quackerjack and NegaDuck...bye."Ragtag said over the other end of the phone.

"Bye Ragtag and Good Night."I said and we both hang up and I put my phone away.

well at least Ragtag and the others are doing their best in trying to catch those guys who are trying to use dip.

well I guess I should take a little nap to take my mind off what happen outside...

I really needed to take my mind off that kiss...

to be continued...
