A/N:Hey,y'll!Thanks for all the reviews!I would list thier names here,but it might takea bit of time and space getting them all right.But still,anyways.Also,thanks for pointing out "CoCo's" name.I was so excited about typing my first fanfic for this particular story,I forget to spellcheck over her name.Heh,sorry about that!I'll get it right now...anyways...the second most anticapated part of the plot starts here..!So read onwards!

Mac was restless that night,he could hear the soft breathing of his son and BooBoo from across the room.Lifting his head up slightly,he could make out thier snoozing images threw the moonlight gazing in on everyone in the window.Mac noted.

"Daddy?"Nicolas's unruffled voice asked out in the darkness.

"Yes,son."Mac awnsered him back,sitting up and leaning back on the backboard to make out his son alittle better.

"Where is everyone they were talking about right now?"

Nicolas's question made Mac shudder,he really didn't want to focus on that possiblity at the moment.Not that he didn't care about them,but his main concern right now was on Bloo.

"Well,Nickie boy,"Mac finally told his son equilibriously,smiling a thoughtful smile,"Pop's gonna do everything he can to make a difference for everyone's sakes."

"Coooolll..."BooBoo agreed in a partly-awake reply.

Mac and Nicolas laughed at his aimless babbling and soon drifted back into a semi-peaceful slumber.Mac was still feeling alittle mixed-up inside,but he didn't want that to happen to Nicolas.The young boy had enough problems.

The next morning...

All three of them woke the next morning to the aroma of eggs,bacon,sausage and toast being made.Mac let it fill his senses,when he finally came out of his room with the other two in tow.He peeked in to find everybody,except Coco,already sitting at the table waiting for everybody.

"Well,don't just stand there,"Wilt told them cheerfully,suddenly noticing thier presence,"Pull up a chair and dig in!There's plenty for everybody!So get it while it's hot."

"That'd be great guys,thanks."Mac smiled back at all of them and they were soon immersed even further the previous night about thier past and present,then before.But soon enough,the subject of Bloo or Foster's were bound to come up again.

"Is Bloo ever coming back?"Nicolas asked out loud suddenly,he had been fairly quiet threw out the whole conversation.Only awnsering direct questions.

"Uh...pass the butter?"Wilt quickly asked Ed.

"Si!"Eduardo repiled in a vague sense of what was happening,"Why do we not just talk about him?"

"Ed..."Wilt growled at him from under his breath,"The butter please?"

"Yes,please let's talk about Senior Bloo!"

"No...!"He grumbled at him in a sharp whisper,"Butter...ple-"

"Please let's talk about Bloo!It's been so long since we have!"Eduardo broke out in his sometimes spastic espisode,this time over Bloo,"We need ta!Need ta!Need to!"

"We NEED to settle down!"Wilt directed his outbrust on Eduardo,he glared back at him in defense.

"Senior Bloo more important then Butter!"He chided resolutely,folding his arms over his chest,"And that's that."

At that very moment,the sound of the chiming of the doorbell sounded.And Mac,wanting to escape the tension of the moment,allowed himself onto his feet and towards the front door to see who it was for the sake of himself.

"Who is it?"Mac asked automatically before opening the door,with no reply,Mac shrugged and casually opened the door to see who it was at this early in the morning.

At first,Mac didn't see anything.Just the gloomy,greying clouds that hung over head and the reminder that Mac still hadn't found what he was looking for.But then he heard a muffled grunting,looking downwards slowly,he saw someone small.His/her body was covered by an old brown blanket.

"Ma...ma..."The stranger murmured in a slightly familiar,yet very raspy voice.Mac narrowed his eyes curiously on the individual,lowering himself to where he was just a little above head-level of the cloaked person,"Ma...Ma...Mac?"

"Yes."Mac replied alittle akwardly,how could he know who he is.Then,with alittle more effort,he asked,"B...loo?"

"Ma...Ma...MAC!"Bloo threw off the blanket and bounced happily into Mac's arms.Grinning so wide it was scary.

Mac was so dumbfounded and happy at the same time,he accidently dropped Bloo and then picked him back up again.Then he just settled on setting him down and getting down to knee-heigth.Finally overcoming his surprise,he inquired his old friend with some astonishment.

"How'd you find me!Where were you!How are you!"

"Uh..."Bloo took a moment to think,"I followed my instict,around the entire world and blue...as usual."

"Dude!I can't believe I'm acutally seeing...hey,"Mac noticed with a little sadness,staring at the once viberant and bright blue blob used to be.No his color was a dull,tired-looking deep sapphire and his eyes looked more enthusastic then Mac guessed they had in a long time.He started feeling the resentment,"I'm sorry,pal.Sorry I left you like that all those..."

"Years?"Bloo finished for him and then said coolly,"No biggie!I'm just acutally glad I finally found you...I...I missed.."

Mac chuckled lightly,"I missed you too,buddy."

"But Mac,you have to listen to me!"

"What?"

"It's about Fosters,Duchess,all of them...Their all in grave danger and we need to save them!"Bloo told him hastily.

"Duchess,huh?Well,don't worry Bloo!We'll stop her at any-"

"No!"Bloo cut him off in fustration,"Not her!These nasty things called Night Bandits come in the middle of the night and steal certain friends and take them to the Night Necromancer to be turned into Nightmares that go againist what Imagnary friend's main purposes are.Anyways,Foster's has been just barely manging on the far side of town,but not too many ever get adopted."

"Night Bandits?You mean they come at nightand just steal random friends from Foster's?When thier already not doing very well after all these years in the first place!"

"Uh...that's basically what I just said."He mused mistily,eyeing a match of brown hair behind Mac's legs,"Uh,who's the kid?"

"Huh?Oh!"Mac realized Nicolas was quietly and paitently standing behind him,Mac took a hand and pushed him in front of Bloo so they were both staring eye-to-eye,"Bloo this is Nicolas,my son.And Nic,this is Bloo,my long-lost best friend."

They just stared at each other for a minute,when the rest of thier friend's came bounding out to met them,so Bloo or Nicolas didn't have much time to say much of anything.

"Senior Bloo!"Ed cried happily,grasping him in a tight hug.

"Hey there,Ed,"Bloo just managed to barelybreath.

"Bloo!"Wilt exclaimed in shock,when Ed finally set him down,"It's been nearly a decade!Where have you been?"

"CoCo?"CoCo asked him curiously.

"A decade's ten years,Coco...see it goes like this."As Wilt been explaining the system and history of time,Mac and Bloo started walking down the path to the sidewalk together.

Finally,Bloo asked unsurely,"So...were gonna stop them?"

Mac thought amoment and then grinned down at him,"You can count on me,if I can count on you Bloo."

"You can count on me."
