Chapter 28.
Back Home In DillyDale
Alexander and Ingram were once again swirling through space, screaming for their lives. In the DillyDale park, the book opened and a blinding light came out of it. Suddenly Alexander and Ingram came out of it and landed safely on the ground and Ingram was back in her ball form again and the book closed.
"Wow. That was an amazing adventure we've been on," said Ingram.
"It sure was," said Alexander as he pushed the book into a hole of a tree, "But even though I am glad to be home again, I am going to miss Manolo, Maria and Joaquin."
"Yeah. And I am going to miss the Cave of Souls and will we see them again?" asked Ingram.
"Sure. Someday we will," said Alexander and then turned to look up at the sky and saw it was beginning to grow dark.
"Come on Ingram, let's go back to my house," said Alexander.
Ingram jumped onto Alexander's head and Alexander left the DillyDale park and was on his way back to house.
Back at Alexander's house:
Abigail and the Pyroars were watching The Krusty The Clown Show on TV while their mother Delphine was cooking supper in the kitchen.
"Hail, Hail," said Krusty on the TV and sprayed Sideshow Mel and Summer the Armadillo (who was on Mel's left shoulder) with a water pump.
"Oh you Dear Krusty splashing Gas Water," said Mel.
"Yes, Yes Krusty splashing Gas Water, Hoohoohaha!" laughed Krusty.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" laughed Abigail and the Pyroars.
"Boy, I do love it when Krusty tortures both Mel and Summer," said Abigail.
"Those two make better sidekicks to Krusty then Sideshow Raheem, Sideshow Luke Perry, Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Cassandra did," said the Male Pyroar.
"Yes, they sure do," agreed the Female Pyroar.
Just then the front door opened and in came Alexander and Ingram, the Female Pyroar stop laughing, turned her head and saw them.
"Well, look who's come back," said the Female Pyroar.
Abigail and the Male Pyroar also stop laughing, they turned and were surprised to see Alexander and Ingram.
"Alexander! Ingram!" exclaimed Abigail.
"Where have you two been? You two were gone all afternoon," said the Male Pyroar.
"It's a long story," said Alexander.
"And we will tell you about over supper," said Ingram.
When suppertime came and it was Pancakes, Alexander and Ingram told Delphine, Abigail and the Pyroars about their visit to San Angel and Delphine, Abigail and the Pyroars got pretty interested in Alexander's story.
"After Xibalba's snake staff bit me, Ingram and Manolo, we died and ended up in the Land of the Remembered," said Alexander.
"What was the Land of the Remembered like?" asked the Male Pyroar.
"It was vibrant and joyous! it was colourful, it was more beautiful and it was more fesdtive!" said Ingram.
"Wow!" exclaimed Abigail and the Pyroars.
"But if you, Manolo and Ingram died, how did you get to be alive again sweetie?" asked Delphine.
"Well, after Manolo defeated a giant bull with an Apology Song, him, me and Ingram were given life. After which we defeated Chakal and Manolo and Maria were finally married. Then this big pillar of energy came from the skies and brought us back home, but not without saying goodbye to our new friends," said Alexander.
"And we did promise Manolo and Maria that we will see them again, someday," said Ingram.
"Wow, that's quite an adventure you and Ingram, Alexander," said the Female Pyroar.
"And when that time comes, could me and the Pyroars come with you and Ingram that time around?" asked Abigail.
Alexander smiled, nodded and went back to eating his pancakes.
The Next Day:
Alexander, Ingram, Abigail and the Pyroars were at the DillyDale Theatre and were sitting in the audience with Little Miss Helpful, Mr Grumpy, Mr Rude, Mr Noisy, Little Miss DareDevil, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr Nervous, Mr Lazy, Mr Quiet, Mr Stubborn and Little Miss Chatterbox.
Mr Happy came onto the stage and said:
"Hello and welcome to our show! DillyDale Love It or Leave it! This merry musical tells the story of how our wonderful little town came to be. So sit back and enjoy this wonderful presentation!"
Mr Happy walked off the stage, the curtains opened and music began to play:
Little Miss Calamity:
In Stormy Seas, we Vikings came
All dressed up in fair
Each one the same
Mr Bounce:
In search of Land
And Fields of wheat
Mr Messy:
And a place
To rest my stinky feet
Little Miss Calamity:
Once on land
It was then we hailed
The Cavemen from old DillyDale
Mr Small:
We shared our fish
Mr Nosey:
And Roasted Meats
Mr Messy:
But when can
I rest my stinky feet
Mr Pernickety:
And then another century came
DillyDale had found it's fame
Mr Strong:
It was news heard far and wide
When DillyDale's Queen was tossed aside
Oh Yeah
Little Miss Calamity:
Eventually, DillyDale had a train
Mr Small & Mr Nosey:
And then, of course
An Airoplane
Mr Nosey:
Which seem to become
Our new fine art
Mr Messy:
Though their fumes
Smelled like a . . .
Mr Men:
DillyDale had grown to be
The happiest place in history
Where free is free and far as king
Enough to make you sing and sing
Where free is free and far as king
Enough to make you sing and sing
And the curtains closed.
"Musicals make me sick," said Mr Grumpy.
