Title: refers to the Underground
Episode Thirty-Six
"Laughter in the Dark"
"What do you mean you don't know the way?" Ally looks at the red haired boy, incredulous. They have been wandering the dark caves for a good time now and Ally is not pleased. Ronald was going to miss the train! "Haven't you been here before, Ronald?"
'Ronald' seethes. "No, I'm sorry, I've never fallen through a support column into a strange underground labyrinth that you seem to believe leads to a platform that only exists in literature," He spits out bitterly. "And stop calling me Ronald! My name isn't bloody Ronald!" He cries out in exapseration. "My name is--"
"Did you hear that?" Ally interrupts, looking off down a dark cavernous corridor.
"Oh, I dont like the sound of that," 'Ron' groans, then turns to look off towards the coming evil sounding cackles. "Oh bloody hell."
Meanwhile, in the Underground,
"It all looks the same doesn't it? How do we know we're going the right way?" Boo Ghost wonders as she looks around the dingy darkness off the Underground.
"I know," Kitty the Rat states confidently and continues to lead the small team.
"It's so dirty down here!" Daffodil the Fairy says as she cringes in disgust. "Couldn't we have flown there instead? Ew, is that mud?"
"It's beautiful!" Mulligan the Leprechaun gruffly cries out. "The musty air, the feel of the earth, the joy of the journey, it stirs me in my being!"
"Hopefully that's all it's stirring," Clyde mutters grimly.
"It's fun traveling with kids, isn't it?" Naomi smiles at Kitty, but then notices his state of distraction. Soon the whole party stops dead in their tracks as strange evil laughter floats on the darkness. "What is it?"
Kitty bristles in response. "Gremlins."
Meanwhile, in Barcelona...
Doctor Mallard considers himself a pragmatist. Others, if you were to ask, may say that he is a self-serving bastard of a quack. Either way, he currently could be found cowering behind the desk as he stares in utter terror at what had become of his now former secretary, Nurse Veronica.
Six of Nine the Pigeon flutters about the desk as Tatiana 2.0 rises up and over to hover directly above Mallard's head.
"What is it that you want?" Mallard whimpers.
Tatiana 2.0 smiles down at him, as much as a chicken can smile. "FOUR," comes the demanding reply, leaving Mallard to stare up at her confused. Four what?
