Noodlez struggled against the sticky substance that held her to the tree.

"Darn it! I knew those pancakes would be the death of me! Curse that maple syrup!" she screamed to no one in particular.

Noodlez then noticed she had an audience of rather curious squirrels. They stared at hershe stared at themneither one could figure out who had more brain cellsNoodlez hastily broke out in song to prove she was mighty over the rodents.

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip! It started out at my high school and ended in syrup! I set right off to save my friend, who's named after waterfowl, then took a break to eat pancakes and now I'm here with y'all! You stare at me cause I'm so great and you know you cannot win! Noodlez has proclaimed herself, mightier than rodents' kin!" she sang to the tune of the Gilligan's Island Theme Song.

The squirrels blinked at the strange creature they thought was harming their beloved tree, and then they began to pelt her with various nuts and berries. Noodlez spat indignantly at the squeaky creatures who threw things at her, how dare they!

Back to Duckie and Bond

"I'll be Big Bird and you can be Mickey Mouse!" shouted Bond triumphantly, "I knew we could pull this off!"

Duckie shook her head, "I don't wanna be Disney! Let's wear fake mustaches instead!"

Bond stared at the Duck, "No way! Mustache's are for squares! I'm totally oblong, dude!" she said, giving Duckie the thumbs-up' sign.

The two were finding it extremely difficult to decide how they were to disguise themselves so they could get back to Hogwarts. Then, Duckie had an idea.

"Let's get yogurt!"

"YEA!" squealed Bond. The pair skipped off in the direction of the nearest yogurt vendor

*Times speeds up and over the course of a few hours we see the girls eating yogurt, buying scissors and glue to make paper dolls for their ferrets, and log rolling down a hill into a puddle of grassdid I just call it a puddle?Ah well*

"Now what?" asked Duckie, she seemed to forget past events so quickly that she decided she was going to chew on the nearest tree, like a beaver, "HOW MUCH WOOD COULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK?!"

"We were going to disguise ourselves."

"Oh yea," Duckie said, spitting out a small hunk of wood, "What now?"

"You realize you just reversed your previous inquirydon't you?"

Duckie stared at the above page and, sure enough, she saw what she had done.

"Ooooopsies!" she yelped.

Bond shook her turban-ized head, "Let's go get Noodlez."

Duckie nodded her agreement, then jumped into a rampaging wheelbarrow (pulling Bond along with her) and they took off to find the Noodle-y one.

Miles away

Noodlez was sleeping. Then! She woke up! But, alasshe dozed off againthen she woke up again! This time it was not to be ruined by falling asleep once more! The squeaky creatures were still hurling things at her but she took no notice. She sniffed at the air. Something was out of place!

"Bogeys at 12 o'clock!" she yelled.

A squirrel jumped onto her shoulder, picking his nose.

"Yea," he squeaked in a squeaky sort of fashion, "well, I got boogeysat 11!"

Noodlez paid no attention to the rodent though, she was staring through the bushes. Her face lit up (no, not like a light bulb) and she promptly ripped the tree from the ground, roots and all, and ran into the underbrush. She stopped when she found a wheelbarrow with two passengers.

"NOODLEZ!" passenger one screamed.

"DUCKIE!" Noodlez returned the greeting.

Duckie leapt from the garden cart and hugged her tree-bearing pal, "Hey! Why didn't you do this in the first place?!" she asked, pointing to the uprooted tree.

Noodlez pondered this for a short moment, "Cos I forgot to tell you! I have baking lessons on Tuesdays!" she replied as the other wheelbarrow passenger climbed out and removed the tree from Noodlez's back with a wave of her wand.

Noodlez stood straight up again.

"BAKING LESSONS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING ME?!" Duckie hollered.

Noodlez blinked and the stranger batted both girls around with a large trout.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Noodlez bellowed in a way that made Duckie remember when she had eaten Draco Malfoy's head.

"I," said the new girl, "am BondEvan Bond." Once again, grinning at an imaginary camera.

Noodlez blinked, blinking was an unusual habit she hadshe had noticed that most people don'toh waitno, that was breathingwell anyways, Noodlez had an unusual habit, she just couldn't remember what it was at the moment.

"MOTZART!" she yelled, attracting the confused stares of both Duckie and Bond.

"Well then, someone seems to have an unusual habit--" Bond started.

"OF BLINKING AND BREATHING! I ALREADY KNOW!" interrupted Noodlez, who was now writing down odd little comments about the grass under her feet and the sun that was shining in her handy dandy notebook (OH NO!).

"No" slurred Bond, "actually I was gonna say, an unusual habit of shouting out random composers from the Baroque music era."

"Who-ba-satcha-wah?" questioned Noodlez and Duckie in unison.

"Never mind my awesome brain powerwe still have to decide on our disguises!" Bond stated rather pointedly.

Duckie nodded, but Noodlez didn't understand the whole situation yet.

"Disguises? Oh!"

Noodlez began to jump in circles around the other two and her woodland creature friends came from the bushes and followed suit.

"Eh? What's this?" Bond asked Duckie.

"Well," came the reply from the aptly named Duckie, who quacked about as often as a cockatoo in a rainstorm on a boat in the middle of the Pacific, "either she's doing her I got an idea' danceor I'm supposed to give her this peanut for being a good girl so far"

"What?!" Bond screeched like the brakes of a train heading for downtown Minneapolis, "this is so utterly confusing that I find myself utterly confused!"

"WELCOME TO MY WORLD!" shouted the still-dancing-in-circles Noodlez, "YOU'RE ALL TOO BLIND TO SEE THAT I'M ACTUALLY CALLING UPON THE COSTUME FAIRY OF THE GREAT BEYOND!" she said reverently.

Bond and Duckie stared as a
