They pulled out of the field of cactus and into the Grand Canyon visitor's center parking lot.
(A/N: I've never been to the Grand Canyon so I don't know much about the parking spaces there so please don't repeatedly correct me about that.)
"Wow! It sure was convenient that the Grand Canyon just happened to be on the other side of that cactus!" remarked Hunter. Elora undid her seatbelt. "What was that thing we hit on the way in?" she asked. Akiro looked out the window. "Do you mean the cactus or that possum?"
They all climbed out of the RV and walked away. Moneybags un-strapped himself from the underside and rolled out from under it. He was so covered in cactus quills that he looked like a porcupine. "Ooooo...." he moaned. The possum crawled out from under the RV, gave a squeaky little groan and flopped down beside him. An ambulance drove up and two guys got out. They went over to that bear, put the possum on a stretcher and drove off.
"Need...tweezers..." groaned Moneybags as he started to pull the quills out of him.
Meanwhile, Spyro and the rest of the crew was looking at the Canyon. "Wow..." said Hunter "That's one big canyon. So when do we get the ice cream?" Everyone looked at him funny. "What?"
"Let's go take the tour of it!" exclaimed Elora. "Come on!"
"Not so fast!"
They turned around. Moneybags, who was still covered with cactus quills, was behind them, aiming a really big gun at them. "Steal MY RV will ya? Fork it over!!!" They put their hands up. "AAAA! A PORCUPINE WITH A GUN!!!"
"I am not a porcupine!" he said, pulling some of the quills off. "Not give me that RV!" Hunter smoothly reached behind his back. "Hey, stupid! Check this out!" He pulled out a quarter. Moneybags dropped the gun. "No..." Hunter held the quarter out over the canyon. "You wouldn't..." Hunter dropped it.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled the bear who is on everyone's revenge list as he jumped off the ledge after it.
"Dang! Well, at least I have this parachute." he said as he pulled the rip cord. The parachute exploded. "That's the last time I use props from another story!"
"Come on guys!" said Spyro. "We've still got to make it to that state park in Texas!"
They all climbed back onto the RV and drove off, Taking out several cactus and a stop sign. "Have you guys noticed that this RV remains undented no matter how much stuff we hit?" asked Akiro. Bianca shrugged. "Well, maybe we're just lucky?"
They drove on for another hour. "Are we there yet?" asked Sabina. "No." said Spyro.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"Will you shut up?!"
"We're going to be in Nevada pretty soon. Wanna stop in Vegas?" asked Akiro. Bianca shook her head. "Nah, we got banned when we were there as an Angry Mob." she said.
"Can you prove it?" asked Sabina. Bianca showed her the restraining order. "Oh. Wait, it says that the Angry Mob is banned, not individual members!" she said. "Everybody, put on a false mustache! We're going to Vegas!"
"Viva Las Vegas!" said Hunter. "Viva Las Vegas! Vivaaaaa, Vivaaaaaaa,..." Elora stuffed a sock in his mouth. "Hunter no singing!"
Everyone was bored again. Then they found a possum in the coffeemaker and were no longer bored! "Ah, doncha just love an espresso while driving?" asked Akiro. "This is some great coffee you made, Hunter."
"Yeah, well I've had some training in the art of lattes at the local Starbucks."
BACK AT THE CANYON
Moneybags had finally climbed back up the canyon. "If I know those jerks, then they'll be going to Las Vegas. Maybe I can catch them there." He jumped in front of a passing station wagon that had a man and a woman in the front seat. "Hey, can I get a ride?" he asked the driver. "Sure! Where are you going, pal?"
"Vegas."
"Hop in! We just happen to be going there too!"
Moneybags jumped in the backseat. Then he realized that the car was full of four-year-olds. "Um, you're taking these kids to Las Vegas?" He asked the guy driving. The woman laughed. "No, you silly-willy! There's a very unsafe amount of gambling in those casinos. We're going to Laugh Vegas! The towny-wowny next to Las Vegas that's just for kids!"
"Yeah!" said the guy. "It's incredibly safe, educational and nonviolent!"
Uh-oh thought Moneybags. "Um, then will we be going to Vegas?"
"Nope! Happy Town!"
"That reminds me, we haven't introduced ourselves!" said the man. "I'm peppy happy Gary!"
"I'm happy peppy Betty!"
"We're peppy happy, happy peppy, peppy happy hap!"
"Who wants to sing the happy song?" asked Betty as she pulled out a ukulele.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Moneybags.
BACK AT THE RV
"We're here!" said Spyro. "That warp speed seven feature really works!" They parked the RV and went out into the city of Las Vegas! "Everyone got a false mustache?" they nodded. "Then let's go!" They went for the nearest Casino. "Just a minute!" said the manager. "You guys look familiar, but those mustaches have me completely baffled. Have we met?"
"No." said Hunter.
"Okay then. Have fun!"
After the manager left they went to the slot machines. "Watch this!" said Sabina as she pulled the lever. She won five dollars. "Hey, I must be a natural!"
"Cool! Let me try!" said Akiro. He took the machine next to hers.
Five minutes later....
"Okay! What's next?" asked Sabina. She and Akiro had won $50,000 at the slot machines. "Let's go to the place across the street."
They looked both ways and crossed the road. Just then a station wagon pulled up and a guy got out of it. "Watch the kiddie- widdies! I'm going to go get some direction....wections! Hey, small purple mustached dragon guy!"
"Um, can we help you?" asked Spyro.
"Yes! I'm peppy happy Gary and this is happy peppy Betty! And we need directions to Laugh Vegas!" He smiled idiotically. "Um....it's that way." said Elora. Who's that in the car with you?"
"Do you mean the kiddie-widdies?" asked Betty. "Or our friendy-wiendy we net at the Grand Canyon?"
"The fat guy."
Moneybags jumped out of the car. He was covered in marker scribbles. "All right! Now you gimme back my RV and I'll call the cops!' he yelled. "Don't you mean 'or you'll call the cops?" asked Bianca. "Whatever. Just give it back or else!"
"No, no, special friend." said Gary. "It's not nice to threaten people! Just for that, you'll get to go in the fun box!" He quickly threw Moneybags in a really small box.
"Fun box, oh fun box! So small and square and dark!" sang Betty and Gary. "Fun box, oh fun box! Check out these cool fun locks YAY!" They dropped some really heavy locks on the box. "Well, thanks for the directions!" said Gary as he tossed the box back into the car. "We'll be going nowy-wowy!"
They drove off really quicky-wicky.
"Well, that takes care of our fat bear problem for now." said Hunter. "Who wants to go throw flaming toupees at bald people?!"
"We do!"
"Aha!" said the manager. "You're the guys I banned!" he said, ripping off their false mustaches. "Ow!" said some guy who happened to be there. "That one wasn't fake!"
"Oops. Uh... heh heh. Here" said the manager handing his mustache back. He turned back to Spyro. "Hey! Where'd they go?"
Elora drove the RV full speed out of Vegas. "Whew! That was close!" she said. "Let's not make any more stops, okay?"
Bianca walked by the open bathroom door. The water was still in there, it hadn't flown out yet. "Hey guys?" she said. "What's this following us?" They all looked out the back window. Something was following them. "Let's see if we can lose it." said Akiro.
MEANWHILE
Moneybags had somehow escaped the fun box, found some kid's tricycle, and had tied a rope to the RV and was now being pulled along. "I'll get that RV if it's the last thing I do!"
The RV swerved to the left suddenly, pulling him into the other lane and swerved back leaving him there, facing an oncoming Mack truck. "Oh no." he squeaked.
BAM!!!!
"I think we lost it." said Hunter. "Whatever it was, it's stuck on a Mack truck now."
"Ooo! It looks like it's headed through that field of sharp pointy objects." remarked Akiro. Elora called them from the front seat. "Hey guys! There's some billboards coming up, wanna watch me hit them for no apparent reason?"
"Sure" said Spyro. He hung up the phone and they all ran to the front. "Isn't it great that no matter what we hit, the RV never gets dented or scratched?" asked Sabina. They heard a weird sound. "Look! There's a possum in the air vent!" she pulled it out and threw it in the bathroom, which despite the fact that the door was open was still full of water.
"You know, I have the odd feeling that there's something on the roof." said Hunter.
ON THE ROOF
Moneybags had strapped himself to the roof. "Stupid sharp pointy objects. Now to cut through the roof and reclaim this RV!" He pulled out a can opener.
"Let's go through that car wash!" said Elora as she pulled into a car wash that just happened to be out in the middle of nowhere. Moneybags got whacked by the low clearance sign. "Ow! Well, at least this isn't going to be painful."
"Look! You can get your car laser-cleaned!"
"Dang."
The possum sat beside him wearing swim trunks and giving him a thumbs up. They drove through the car wash. (Yes, It's going to be one of those cheesy car wash gags. Buckle up)
Actually, it wasn't the washing part that was funny, even though his fur went all poofy, but it was the part when the RV was sprayed with hot wax.
"YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Moneybags. Spyro looked around. "Did you guys hear something?"
"Nah."
They pulled out of the car wash, and the RV was squeaky clean. "Hey look! Free wax statues!" said Hunter, looking at the roof of the car. "It looks like a possum and....some pear-shaped thingy." the possum was frozen in a reclining position. Moneybags was frozen in an 'I'm a little teapot' position.
"Let's keep the possum!" said Sabina. "It's cute!"
"What'll we do with that other thing?" asked Akiro. Three people showed up, a woman, an incredibly muscular guy, and a guy dressed in camouflage
"I'll take it!" said the woman. "I need a wax dummy for my women's self-defense class."
"Can I have it?" said the incredibly muscular guy. "I need something to take my anger out on."
"I need it for my archery class." said the guy in camouflage. Hunter jumped up and looked around wide-eyed. "Who said that?!" he demanded.
"Hunter, it's that guy in camouflage." said Bianca.
"Wow, that guy's good!"
Spyro thought for a moment. "Tell you what, why don't you share him?"
"Okay!"
Moneybag's eyes were bugging out now and he was making all these weird squeaking noises. "Cool! It makes its own sound effects!" said Elora.
They waved at the nice people and drove off, running over peppy happy Gary in the process.
(Eh...that wasn't some of my best work, but I'm starting to run out of gags to write in this thing!!! Still, I wonder if that water will ever get out of the bathroom....)
