As Ashi, Frankie, Mac, Bloo, Wilt, and Coco stared, the fog slowly began to lift and Vishnu stood there, tall and imposing, his bright blue skin contrasting with the pure white walls of the display room. His many arms were crossed in front of him and the golden crown on his head and many ornaments all over his body sparkled. He stared at Ashi with a bored expression upon his face.

"Ashi," Vishnu began. "Only surviving Daughter of Aku," Ashi then stepped forward. " Every night for the past 1,200 days, I have had to ask you this same question. I have asked this question 1,200 times. And not once have you given me the correct answer. I can assure you it has been very boring for me...and it is probably useless to ask this question again. However, because neither of us has any choice in this...for the 1,201st time...you have 30 seconds. When does today meet yesterday?"

Ashi stepped forward with a confident look on her face. "At midnight."

Vishnu stood still for a moment with a shocked look on his face. "Did you say...at midnight?"

"Yes."

Vshnu stood amazed at her words. "Well," he said. "That's a considerable improvement over your previous answers..." and with that he began to disappear.

"But...but, wait, Vishnu," Frankie called out. "Was that right? Did she answer the question correctly?!"

Just then a deep glow began to surround Ashi's body. For a few moments everyone stared, not being too sure what was happening. When the glow finally faded, Ashi stared for a moment...then she walked over to the entrance of the display. Taking a deep breath, she stuck her arm through the entrance...and it went through easily, without disappearing! Ashi gasped and quickly turned to face everyone. She then stuck out her foot, and stepped over the threshold. Her foot didnl;t disappear. She slowly moved her entire body outside the door...and she went out! Ashi looked up, delighted. Mac cheered out loud.

"That WAS it! The answer to the question! You're not trapped in this room anymore!"

"All right, Ashi!"

"You did it!"

"Now you're one more step to going back!"

Ashi's face then got serious. "Now comes the next test. Odin will give me that one."

"Oh, is he gonna come here?" Frankie asked

"No. Since he's a Viking god, we have to go to the Viking display. He'll meet us there."

"OK, well let's go then! We'll help you with this one too if you need it."

As they made their way out of the Feudal Japan display, Wilt stopped and looked at the painting one last time. "I hope ya heard that, Jack! Tell your Mom to prepare some tea and bake another wedding cake! She's coming back to you!" He ran out to catch up with everyone else.

Meanwhile Mr. Harriman and Goo Goo were walking around on the other side of the museum. "Frankie!" Mr. Harriman called out. "Wilt?"

"Bloo! Mac!" Goo Goo called. "Come on, come out come out whereever you are!" She then stopped and stared at the famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware that was on display. "Wow! Hey, look at this huge painting!"

Mr. Herriman, always eager for a chance to educate stood up straight and tall. "Ah, yes," He began. "It's a very famous painting. That, my dear Goo Goo, is a world famous picture depecting our grand First President of the United States, George Washington, as he crossed the Delaware River to surprise the British Soldiers on the other side."

"Why did he surprise them? Was it their birthday?"

"Oh no, no, no, Goo Goo. You see it was right in the middle of the Great Revolutionary War, and that particular time was Christmas Eve, over 200 years ago!"

"No!"

"Yes. Traditionally on major holidays like that one a cease fire was called, there were no battles, and the soldiers could go have their own Christmas Celebration, which was exactly what Mr. Washington was counting on! The British Soldiers were at bars and around campfires, drinking and singing Christmas Carols, expecting the Americans to do the same. So they did not suspect a thing thing when Mr. Washington snuck over on the boat and they were unprepared for his attack the next morning, which resulted in a victory for us!"

"Wow," Goo Goo said, staring at the painting. "Look, look, Mr. Washington is standing up! He's standing up in a movie boat."

"Well, so he is, but he was navagating where to go."

"Look at all that ice in the river, too! It must have been very cold!"

"Why didn't he wait for it to get warmer? Why didn't he wait until Easter? Wouldn't they have called a cease fire then?"

"Well, my dear, he couldn't do that! It would have been too late then! The British were coming...or going."

"Look, there are even horses in the boat, too!"

"Yes, indeed. Well they needed them for their attack!"

"Standing up too."

"Horses stand up for most of their lives. From the moment they're born."

"You know what, Mr. Herriman?"

"What?"

"I bet George Washington caught a cold! That's what I think. Standing up in a boat filled with ice on Christmas Eve! He no doubt came down with a cold right after that attack was over!"

"Well, he may have, Goo. But did George Washington worry about that at that very moment? Hmm? Did he?"

"Well.."

"Did George Washington just decide to lay in his nice warm bed in his mansion? Hmm?"

"Well..:

"Did George Washington, the father of our country, our very first President, give a thought to his own safety at that moment?"

"I don't know..."

"Did George Washington just stay home and open up his Christmas presents? Hmm?"

"I don't know. Tell me."

"No sir! Not the Grand Father of our country. He braved the cold and the floating ice, and the dead of night! He crossed the Delaware River, to New Jersey!"

"But Mr. Harriman, if George Washington was going to go to New Jersey, why didn;t he do what everybody else does?"

"What?"

"Take the George Washington Bridge!" She laughed hysterically at her joke and ran off, leaving Mr Herriman to roll his eyes and sigh inwardly. He turned to the painting.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that, Sir," he saluted the painting and went away, following Goo.

Meanwhile Ashi, Frankie, Wilt, Mac, Coco, and Bloo were making their way to the Viking exhibit when they saw the Security Guard in the distance. "Shhhh!"

"What's wrong, Frankie?" Mac asked.

Frankie whispered, beckoning to them to hide behind a pillar. "If he sees us here after hours, we'll all be thrown out!"

"Even Ashi?" Mac asked.

"Maybe her," Frankie said. "After all, she can go outside the display now."

"But, we can;t have that happen!" Wilt said. "She just now solved the riddle, she has to pass the other two tests and get back to Jack!"

"Quiet!" Bloo said. "Ya want him to hear us?!"

"I've done a lot of these things before," Ashi whispered. "With Jack. Just be very quiet and follow me," Everyone stooped low and waited for the Guard to turn his back. Then, under Ashi's lead, they quietly and quietly made their way to pillar after pillar, only stopping once the guard turned back. They all stayed behind the pillars, not making a sound. Not saying a word until the Guard slowly walked to the other side of the room. They all quickly and quietly moved again to the next pillar. But the Guard made his way back around again, and he stayed in one place, gazing around him.

"He's not moving," Bloo said.

"And the Viking Display is over there," Frankie said, pointing across the room. "How are we gonna get there if this guy doesn;t move?"

"We have to wait," Ashi said. "And we have to go quickly once he turns back to look at that painting."

"How do you know he's gonna turn around?" Bloo whispered.

"I've seen him from the Japanese Display several times," Ashi explained. "Usually around this time he turns around to look at that painting. It's his favorite." She quickly put her fingers to her lips and nodded toward him. Sure enough, the Guard turned around and put his arms behind his back, staring at the painting. Ashi stood up and beckoned to the others to follow her. Quickly and quietly they managed to get past the guard and into the corridor that lead to the Viking Display. The Guard turned around as they disappeared. He glanced around himself, being sure he had felt something. Looking down, he noticed something on the floor. Picking it up, he saw what looked like a piece of palm branch in his hand.

When Ashi, Wilt, Frankie, Coco, Mac, and Bloo reached the display, Frankie put her hand on Ashi's shoulder. Ashi looked up and Frankie squeesed her shoulder in support. Ashi gave her a small smile and they stepped into the display. Mac and Wilt's eyes grew huge as they looked at the many paintings depicting the history of the Vikings. The many display cases around which held their hats and various weapons and huge glass cases in which their battle clothes were reverently hung. Bloo immidiately tried to go around and look, but Mac held him back.

"Aw..." Bloo said.

"Stay HERE, Bloo," Mac said.

"But, can;t we just go around and look?"

"No," Frankie said. "That god's gonna be coming any minute! We can;t lose each other here!" Just then, as if she was psychic smoke began to fill the room Slowly they all turned to see it. A deep voice than came from the smoke.

"Ashi, sole remaining Daughter of Aku," Ashi stepped forward as Odin came forward. "You have passed the first test and have proven yourself worthy for the second. The Test of Virtue."

Ashi needed. "I'm ready, Odin."
