A bus from the CKH was outside the museum. Harley, Saatvika, Rodrigo and a few other students were there for grade bonus and for an activity. The school knew that they needed a supervisor for the field trip, so Mrs. Georgeson was the best option available.
As they were going inside, Dreamheart observed the girls and smiled, knowing that they will be safe and sound.
"Before we could begin, children," Mrs. Georgeson said, "let's go over the rules of museum safety again."
Rodrigo raised his hand and said, "Do not wander off into the museum."
"Correct," answered Mrs. Georgeson as she spotted Saatvika raising her hand. "Ms. Dennis."
"Remain quiet at all times," Harley answered.
"Correct," answered Mrs. Georgeson as she spotted Saatvika raising her hand. "Do not touch anything so the other patrons can see the artifacts." Saatvika. answered.
"All the way from Flash Chicken," congratulated Harley.
"Alright, class," announced Mrs. Georgeson. "Now stick with your buddies and no sneaking into the gift shop until the tour is over. That goes for Lilith."
Lilith placed away her phone and went up to Harley. "I can't believe I get to be assigned to this Down Under dweeb," Lilith grumbled.
"Hey," groaned Harley. "You're falling behind in some of your classes cause you care about vanity and being vicious."
"I'm as vain and vicious as a great white shark," Lilith replied as she mimicked a shark bite, much to Harley's irritation.

While going around the dinosaur wing, everyone was starting to go around, feeling like their in Jurassic Park. As Saatvika was observing a triceratops skeleton, she got a little thirsty. So she grabbed Harley and they snuck out of the ice age wing. Luckily, Mrs. Georgeson was so fascinated by the dinosaur bones, she didn't notice that they were gone.
After taking a glimpse at a stegosaurus skeleton, she spotted a bunch of homeless people sleeping into the wing. With one thud, she passed out. A few students quickly ran up and help her. Lilith didn't want to help her teacher; instead, she decided to do her report so she wouldn't fall behind in class. Rodrigo then turned his head, only to find his sister and his friend missing. Afraid that they'd get in trouble after Mrs. Georgeson woke up, he decided to go find them.

In the ice age wing, Saatvika took Harley to a machine of carbonated delight. "A soda machine?" asked Harley. "I haven't had a junk soda in like ever."
"Usually the CKH alllows healthful sodas," Saatvika replied, "but you gotta take chances. I'm going to get a grape soda."
"I call dibs on root beer," said Harley.
Just as they were about to grab their sodas, Rodrigo caught them. "Harley, Saat," he said, "remember what Mrs. Georgeson said."
"Sorry," replied Harley and Saatvika as they caught up to the class, leaving their sodas behind.
Little did they know, Elthunt was sneaking around disguised as a tour guide. He summoned a McCart Bug from his keytar and turned a mannequin of a mammoth into a monster. "What do you know?" he said to himself. "McCart Bugs can bring statues to life."

When Saatvika and Harley got to the ice age wing, they saw that Mrs. Georgeson was out cold. Harley remembered the old smelling conscious trick. She got out a honey bar, placed it under her teacher's nose, and Mrs. Georgeson woke up. "Thank you, Ms. Dennis," she said with a semi-conscious voice. "It's just some hobos are sleeping in the dinosaur wing."
"You mean them?" Saatvika asked as she pointed to the hobos eating the brachiosaurus dinosaur. "Hey, you Hobos!" she shouted, "Destruction of personal and public property is against the law!"
After she left, Dreamheart showed the two girls a vision of McCart Mammoth attacking the Egyptian wing. Saatvika and Harley already knew that they couldn't leave their tour group, so they secretly told Bok Choy and Lotus Leaf to stop the current monster for them. "Bówùguǎn, bówùguǎn!" they whispered as they took off to the Egyptian Wing.

In the Egyptian Wing, McCart Mammoth was wrecking the place, along with Elthunt and his dreadful keytar playing. Annoyed by the terrible sounds, Bok Choy and Lotus Leaf tossed spice jars at them, causing the two of them to sneeze uncontrollably. Elthunt was so annoyed by the spice jar toss, he chased after the little beings.
Running towards the ice age wing, they spotted the same soda machine that Harley and Saatvika failed to get their grape and root beer soda from. They both got the soda out, shook it, opened the bottle tops, and made both sodas spray on them. McCart Mammoth and Elthunt slipped and slide around the floor and crashed into the soda machine, unleashing a lot of sodas.
From the wing, the hobos thought it was a skating rink and drank the sodas from the floor, much to Mrs. Georgeson's irritation. She grumbled, "This is the worst field trip ever."
"Don't say that!" shouted Ms. Benjamin from the Chinese wing, "They're just having fun!"
"Ms. Benjamin!" scolded Mrs. Georgeson. "Shouldn't you be back at the school teaching modern dancing?"
"Well," Ms. Benjamin replied, "I thought I could take some of the kids to the museum to learn about Asian dancing and how homeless people dance for a living. Hodge Podge Lodge is being renovated after a spice jar explosion in one of the rooms, and they decided to spend the night at the museum. Looks like the hungriest homeless people found Mr. Millward's secret stash of spice BBQ sauce in that antique guitar in the kitchen. People who stay at Hodge Podge Lodge stay for free."
Everyone was weirded out by Ms. Benjamin's explanation, but Saatvika and Harley clearly understood why they tried to eat that dinosaur skeleton. Secretly, the duo did their Mew Mew Call.
Mew Mew Style
Mew Mew Grace
Mew Mew Power
In Your Face
And just like that, McCart Mammoth changed back into a mannequin mammoth. Everyone cheered.

The next day at the cafeteria, Saatvika, Carla, and Harley were enjoying their lunch when Ms. Benjamin came in with some BBQ ribs from the cafeteria. "These are leftovers from Hodge Podge Lodge," she explained. "And don't worry about those hungry hobos. The NSA paid for the damage for the museum, hoping we won't have any more repeat offenders from The Mew Mews."
"The National Supers Agency," replied Harley. "That's the organization that cover supers' identities."
Ms. Benjamin nodded her head and also explained that the hungry hobos were going to learn how to cook so they wouldn't have to worry about the volunteers serving food. "That will pop up their brains."
"Speaking of pop," replied Saatvika, "look what Rodrigo is bringing."
Behind them, Rodrigo came in with some cola from the nearest convenience store. "I felt bad for not giving you two some sugary sodas, so I decided to give you some. My treat."
"Gracias, Rodrigo," cooed Saatvika.
Saatvika got a strawberry soda, Harley got a root beer, and Rodrigo got a red raspberry. Rodrigo also gave Carla a blue raspberry soda. Ms. Benjamin didn't mind her students having soda. She got out a banana low carb soda, drank the whole thing in three gulps, and did a really loud burp. Instead of getting confused, the teenagers and the faculty rooted for that burp. Everyone was amazed by it, almost.
Mrs. Georgeson was annoyed by Ms. Benjamin's shenanigans. "The only thing worse than unsupervised hobos in a museum is dance teachers who behave like monkeys," she complained. "I wish she could behave like a normal teacher for once."
"That would be great," replied Coach Howland. "And how else would they remind the students to stay in shape?"
Mrs. Georgeson was so annoyed by their enthusiasm, she left.
The End.
Note: The grape soda and root beer is a homage to the Codename Kinds Next Door episode. The part where Numbuh 3 was feeding a baby soda who requested for grape soda and root beer. When I looked closely, I could see that it says, 'Cola'.
