NOTES: The four Off-Beats kids from 'Kablam' are now teenagers, based on a picture by user thefriendlycitizen on DeviantArt.

There will be many cartoon crossovers.

Athena is from the Tom and Jerry movie 'Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon', and Otis Weaselgraft and Dr. Pablum are from the PBS Kids cartoon 'Martha Speaks.'

In the small town of Cold Bay, Alaska, on Friday, May 24, 2019, riding in a double decker RV, was Grooby Groo, owner of the Cafe Mocha Hoc, and his five friends, 4 teenagers and a dog in a clique that's called 'The Off-Beats'. The realistically thinking leader, Betty Anne Bongo, wasn't wearing her glasses as she frequently had because her friend August, a nerdy hunk and inventor, made a special spray that helps her see, though she sometimes still wears her glasses sometimes. Tommy now wears a new similarily colored jacket that's like his old coat. He is also dating Beth, who's in the rival clique, 'The Populars'. Repunzil, the long-haired blonde girl, who was naive and ditzy when she was younger, is now more smarter. The name of the dog who belonged to August is named September. He's older, a bit more refined, and snarker than he used to be. Anyway, Grubby parked the double decker RV in the parking lot of the Barefoot Inn, then he, September, and the kids got out of the RV, and asked the manager there if their RV could stay in the parking lot. The manager agreed as long as they pay the room fee. They were happy about it as they went back to their double decker and settled in.

Grubby: Here we are, kids. Cold Bay, Alaska, one of the small towns in this state!
Betty Anne: Wow, Mr. Groo! We just got on this trip, and I'm already getting to see a new town that I haven't known about until just now.
Repunzil: Yes, this small town even has the same cool weather as the rest of the state.
September: I have to agree. The wind blows on you as you walk through it.
Tommy: I told Beth that I would be doing some traveling this summer before I left. I hope she doesn't miss me Too Much. I'm also a bit more calmer going out on the road.
August: I can't wait to make some new gadgets, that could help us on this trip.
Grubby: Well, my cool cats, we should explore this town while we're here.
Tommy: Let's go have lunch at that restaurant over there.
Repunzil: I remember the name of it: Cold Bay Lodge!
Betty Anne: (laughs) Well, let's see what they have there.

As they went in the restaurant, a visitor from a magical village, a green-skinned elf with black hair with a white curl, a red robe, and black boots was walking to the Cold Bay Lodge as well, because she was also on vacation. Back home, she would usually go barefoot, but in different places like Alaska, shoes are required. Back at the lodge, grubby and the Off-Beats teens were sitting together at a large table waiting for their lunch. They heard some music playing, and Betty Anne intrigued by this, puts her glasses on, gets her bongo drums out, and plays them while singing her title song... 'My name is Betty Anne Bongo, I sing this little song-o, I sing it all day long-o!' After she was finished, two men, a bald guy in a green suit, and a guy wearing glasses and an inventor's outfit, came over, and laughed at her. Betty Anne certainly wasn't amused, and said, 'What is so funny?'

Man with Green Suit: I have to say, this is the worst bongo playing I have ever heard!
Inventor: Yeah, who would call that music?!

Before Tommy could yell back at the two men, the elf, who was waiting for her own meal, approached them herself, and stated, 'I think it's great music.'

Man with Green Suit: Who are you to believe that's music?
Elf: I'm Athena, an elf, and an animal lover from a magical village.
Man with Green Suit: I'm Otis Weaselgraft, a businessman.
Inventor: And I'm Dr. Pablum, an inventor, and partner of Otis. I can invent better music that what that girl played!
Athena: (steps closer to the two men, with anger) Well, I love to see you try it!

Weaselgraft and Pablum were stunned, and so shocked that they walked away from Athena. The Off-Beats and Grubby thanked the elf for standing up for Betty Anne.

Athena: It's no problem. I used to be the outcast in my village for a long time.

After the Off-Beats, Grubby, and September introduced themselves to Athena, they dedided to have lunch together. At that moment, a folded up piece of paper had fallen out of Tommy's jacket pocket as he leaned forward.

Repunzil: Hang on! What is that piece of paper?

She picked it up, and opened it.

Tommy: Repunzil, please give me back that paper.
Repunzil: (unfolds the paper, and reads it) Ooh, this is so interesting!
Tommy: (jumps up, and shouts) I said, give me that paper!

Everyone in the restaurant looks at Tommy, surprised, he also blinks with surprise himself.

Repunzil: Okay, sorry, Tommy. (gives him back the paper) I just thought it was really cool what you wrote on it.
August: Actually, I'm the one who wrote the names of the countries on it.
Betty Anne: Why, August, you must be memorizing them hard.
August: Actually, Betty Anne, the countries are part of a planned trip I'd hoped to take. Unfortunately, there's laws that prevent children under 18 from traveling the
world without an adult present.
Athena: (intrigued) August, I want to know more about this. I'm interested in what you had hoped to accomplish by traveling around the world.
August: (happily) Athena, I had hoped to travel the world! If it weren't for these laws, I would attempt to visit each of the 30 countries on this paper before summer is over!

Weaselgraft and Pablum overheard August, and they came back and laughed at this idea...

Otis: Seriously, that is even crazier than your bongo music playing.
Pablum: Yes, that is impossible.
Athena: Actually, it's possible it can be done. But I believe it wouldn't take the Whole summer. I think it would take earlier than that: 60 days.
Pablum: Just because You think it's possible, doesn't mean it can be done.
Athena: (reading the paper) There's 30 great countries listed here. I'll read all of them in order: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, Argentina, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Egypt, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland,
Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, China, India, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. We'll only have a average of 2 days to visit each country, but it's definitely worth the trip!

Weaselgraft and Pablum were still unconvinced about Athena's statement...

Pablum: You need to think about the fact that transportation is sometimes delayed due to bad weather, or other problems. They don't always leave on time.
Betty Anne: Regardless, if I could, I'd show you guys that, even with time constraints, I could do it!
August: (proudly) Alright, Betty Anne!
Repunzil: I'm willing to join them on this trip, too!
Tommy: I'm on board!
Athena: And since I'm an adult, I'm going to accompany them on this trip.

The two men turned to Grubby Groo, who had a thumbs-up, and September, who was smiling.

Otis: You really believe these kids can do it?
Grubby: Absolutely.
September: Bow-wow.

Otis: Very well then, old man. Then let's make a friendly wager. I'll bet you 25,000 dollars that the kids and their elf friend can't make it around the world in 60 days...
no, make that 50,000 dollars!
Pablum: I'm also willing to bet that same amount!
Grubby: So the total combined together between you two is 100,000 dollars?
Pablum: Yes. That is, if Athena and the kids are going to take the challenge.

Athena and the Off-Beats teens now have serious looks on their faces.

Athena: Of course, we accept that challenge, and were going to prove to you it can be done!
Otis: Okay, when are you all planning to leave?
Athena: Saturday, June 1st. August searched online for travel reservations, and there's a 9:00 flight to Montreal, Quebec, Canada that night, then would be departing from
the Cold Bay Airport. We'll be ready to go by then. But let's settle the terms: We will vacate the airport at 9pm, travel around the world, and be back in this place by that
time on July 30. Do we have a deal?

The two men discussed and whispered to each other.

Otis: Deal. (turns to Grubby) And if they don't get back here by that time, then you owe us both 50,000 dollars?
Grubby: That is correct.
Betty Anne: (happily) We won't let you down, Mr. Groo!

And now, there's about to be a huge journey, with adventure, dangerous obstacles, and a lot of interesting discoveries. Athena and the Off Beats will certainly be ready to travel around the world!
