Chapter Eight: Volcanoes in Jamaica?

By: Vincenz A. Coello

Atto Uno

Another day begins at McQueen as the world slowly starts its usual routine over again. Laurel, Brock, and Katie share chemistry class this morning, just as any other.

Katie: Puts on some dark black safety goggles and mixes some chemicals together in a test tube and passes them to Brock So, how is Damian doing Laurel?

Laurel: He disappeared earlier this morning, I hope he's all right. Hands Katie another test tube and puts on some black safety goggles

Brock: Well, let's hope the next time we see him he doesn't try to kill us again. Puts a cork on the top of the test tube with a narrow glass pipe at the top. The chemicals begin bubbling and heading for the cork at the top. He also puts on some dark black safety goggles

Laurel: Sets up the Bunsen burner by the window We can certainly hope. I just hope to see him anytime soon.

Katie: takes the test tube from Brock and points the pipe at the end through the Bunsen in an aim out the window Well don't worry Laurel; we won't hurt him if we do.

Brock: Yes, of course we won't. We'll find some other way to disable him. Peers out the window at the sidewalk a story below them

Laurel: Thanks guys, I guess I'm just worried about him. peers out the window as well as the chemicals in the test tube turn a foul black and shoot out the pipe through the Bunsen burner. The foul black chemical turns into a bright red fireball in an arc out the window leaving a trail of black smoke as it flies towards the sidewalk below. A bright flash invades the room through the window and a loud explosion is heard below them as a large mushroom cloud floats past the second story window blotting out the sun for a moment

Katie: Curses! We missed!

Jock: looks around Hey what's that smell?

Brock: mixes another test tube of chemicals and puts a stopper in it Well don't worry your head off Laurel, we'll think of something!

Katie: Of course we will! turns the Bunsen burner on a higher setting

Laurel: Thanks it means a lot to me, I really don't know what got into him! looks out the window again Fire!

KABOOM!

Jock: Ah cha! It burns!

Meanwhile Laurie, Elizabeth, and Vinnie finish their orienteering course in ROTC. A forceful wind hampers everyone on the course, except for Vinnie who wears a coat usually used in Antarctica.

Lizzy: So now we fight and stuff during lunch?

Vinnie: Yes we do. You'll get the hang of it, though I think things are starting to quiet down.

Laurie: Do we go this way or that way? Turns hither and thither with a compass in her hand

Lizzy: That way. she points to a dark desolate alley and they walk towards it

Vinnie: We're basically protectors of the earth and we destroy evil where it may lurk.

Laurie: I think we're lost…

Lizzy: Maybe it was the other way?

Vinnie: and we all have superpowers! Which one do you have Lizzy?

A large hairy lizard jumps off the top of a building and lands in front of them. He pulls an AK-47 from behind him and pulls back on the bolt, loading a round into the chamber

Lizzy: Aww! Look at the little lizard! It's so cute!

Laurie: More evil! In a flash she changes into her superhero costume and readies herself

Vinnie: changes into a duck, his coat all of a sudden become too big, and falls on him eek! My coat is too big! I can't find my way out!

Lizzy: Hey don't I get a costume so people won't recognize me?

Laurie: um! Checks her backpack and gives her a green half mask with flamboyant feathers sticking out everywhere here use this till we can get you something better to use.

Vinnie : is still trapped in his coat Auntie' Em! Auntie' Em! There's no place like home! There's no place like home!

Lizzy: Oh for peat's sake! Helps Vinnie out of his coat and puts on her mask

Vinnie: Thanks! Draws his bow and pulls an arrow out of nowhere

Hairy Lizard: raises his rifle and pulls the trigger, spraying a few dozen bullets at the heroes. While Vinnie hides behind a garbage can, Laurie takes cover behind Lizzy, who puts up a large personal shield. When the Lizard's firing stops for a moment Vinnie dives out from behind the dumpster, firing an arrow at the lizard's arm in hopes he might drop his weapon. Laurie quickly works on Vinnie's arrow, starting it ablaze in midair while behind Lizzy's protective bubble.

The lizard drops his weapon with a loud yelp as the arrow pierces his side and starts the hair there on fire. He takes on an angry look and draws a long dagger with his good arm raising it high above his head as he runs for the Heroes in one last attempt to end their lives. Lizzy doesn't allow him to get very close though, sending a projection of her shield at the Lizard and knocking it back onto the ground in one swift blow to the head. It writhes there for a moment, choking as the blow had broken its neck.

Laurie: we did it!

Lizzy: Do they always pop out of nowhere like this?

Vinnie: walks up to the slowly dieing animal and pulls another arrow into his bow

Laurie: Yes, we're attacked purely out of nowhere. It's us or them.

Lizzy: well we best get back to our orienteering course takes off her mask

Vinnie: Pulls an arrow back in the bow, his wing quivering there for a moment us or them…of course He lets the arrow go ending the lizard's misery

A little later on Laurel and Laurie meet in the halls and head to lunch

Laurie: we saw hairy lizard people during ROTC today

Laurel: There goes the neighborhood.

Laurie: Yeah, he was pretty tough.

Laurel: Well there was only one of them so they sound pretty disorganized.

Laurie: We can hope.

A loud fit of quacking can be heard down the hall

Vinnie: Hey come on! If you're going to put birdbaths in for the love of god let me use them!

Officer Earl: Git back here you!

Vinnie: Quack! Flies down the hall past Laurie and Laurel, followed by officer Earl, who chases after him with a net

Laurie: Never a dull moment

Laurel: Nope, nope Heads into Mr. McMurray's Biology lair, where Katie, Lizzy, and Brock are already waiting

Mr. McMurray: So I found this frog half frozen out in the cold and decided to bring him in as a class pet.

Frog: Ribit ribit! dorky smile

Katie: that frog is creepy…

Brock: Indubitably

Ping: it looks tasty actually…

Laurel: Hi guys!

Laurie: Hehe, nice frog Mr. McMurray.

Mr. McMurray: He can do tricks too he picks up the frog and it extends its legs to the ground and hops on two feet as if it was dancing ain't that spiffy?

Vinnie: Moshi! Moshi! Smoshi! Smoshi! SUSHI! Flies in through the window and Officer Earl bangs into it and falls backwards

Katie: Sushi?

Vinnie: I was trying to say help me.

Katie: You were way off…

Mr. McMurray: Turns the frog to Vinnie, its still kinda dancing. He slips into an odd voice Hey Vinnie, have you got any flies?

Vinnie: uh, no.

Lizzy: Oh my god! That frog is just like an imaginary friend I used to have!

Laurie: Did it always think about food?

Brock: I never had imaginary friends. I just gave objects voices.

Vinnie: flutters over to Mr. McMurray's hula girl overhead bobble dancer. He slips into a high girly voice and points the overhead at Brock Brock! I want to have your love child! I want to sex you up!

Mr. McMurray: speaking through the frog still Hey! Leave my hula girl alone!

Vinnie: still speaking through the hula girl I am the duck's! I do not want to have your babies! You are undatable!

Laurel: walks up and smacks Vinnie

Vinnie: Ow! falls over

TJ: Is standing behind Katie I am the god of all things good and evil!

Laurie: Where did you come from?

Ping: I smell a rat….I smell a rat!

TJ: turns himself into a mouse hey look at my superpower everyone!

Ping: jumps out of Katie's backpack bearing his teeth Mouse! Mouse, mouse, mouse, mouse, mouse, mouse!

TJ: Ahhh! Get away! I don't do drugs!

Vinnie: quickly picks up TJ No eating the animals here!

Ping: I just wanted a nibble!

Lizzy: puts down her school newspaper hey! There's a big event going down in the courtyard today! There's supposed to be fabulous prizes!

Laurel: We should go, free stuff!

Katie: pushes Ping back into her backpack as TJ and Vinnie change back to normal Sure why not?

McMurray: Speaking through the frog Vinnie! Put my bobble head back!

Vinnie: Aww! Ya caught me puts it back but quickly speaks through it Your not attractive to me! I don't like you! I don't want to have your lovechild!

Laurel: smacks Vinnie again

As the group heads for the courtyard, they sing familiar children's songs, attracting the strange looks of their peers.

Lizzy: The ducks on the farm go-

Vinnie: quack! Quack! Quack!

TJ: you people scare me.

Katie: The sheep on the farm go-

Lizzy: Bah! Bah! Bah!

Brock: Don't worry they scare me too.

Laurel: The cows on the farm go-

Vinnie: Quack! Quack! Quack!

Laurie: Cows go quack?

Vinnie: er…sorry force of habit!

Ping: Look! In the courtyard!

Laurie: Wait, only five tickets, that means not all of us can go!

DJ Dazen Dich: We only had enough money for five, you're going to have to choose we goes.

Garret: I've got classes so I can't go.

the rest of the group gets into a huddle

Brock: So who is going?

Laurel: Can I go? Please, please, please?

Ping: wait! I have an idea!

End

Atto Due

The group boards a plane shortly after the contest, oddly missing TJ and Vinnie. Perhaps they got them to stay home or perhaps they hitched a ride with a refugee from Cuba. Oh where could TJ and Vinnie be?

Katie: Woo! We're going to Jamaica!

Lizzy: Yay for little islands out in the middle of the ocean!

Brock: We get to legally miss class!

Laurie: Yay!

Laurel: checks her backpack Are you guys alive in there?

Vinnie: Help! Katie your cat is scratching me!

TJ: The cat is molesting me!

Ping: hisses Stay on your side of the backpack!

TJ: I didn't agree to this!

Ping: Well if you god damn mousse whiskers weren't so tickly!

Vinnie: quack!

Laurel: quickly zips up her backpack

Stewardess: Excuse me ma'am, is there a problem?

Laurel: of course not!

Stewardess: Who was that quacking then?

Lizzy: She's got a rare disease where she quacks at random times.

Laurel: Yeah, it's called Quackitus!

Vinnie: Quack! Hey don't touch me there!

Ping: MEOW! Watch the tail watch the tail!

TJ: Squeak! Just cause I can.

Stewardess: walks off silently weirded out

Laurel: How did we decide that my backpack was the biggest?

Katie: You were chosen randomly.

The plane soon touches down at sunny Air Jamaica Airport. The temperature outside is 86, and the beaches are open all night long!

Laurel: Well here we are! You can get out of my backpack now. unzips it in the light

TJ: Ahh! The light!

Vinnie: It burns!

Ping: leaps out Thank god! I couldn't take another moment with those morsels! Now, I'm hungry!

Katie: You're always hungry.

Vinnie: peaks out with TJ sitting on his head Hey they're selling brownies over there!

Laurel: dumps the two out of her backpack End of free ride time!

Vinnie: Brownies! waddles toward them Quack!

Laurie: So where are we going first?

Brock: We may as well find our hotel first.

Katie: Then we can hit the beaches! I could use a tan.

Vinnie steals one and flies out the window with the brownie in his bill and TJ holding onto his tail feathers

Lizzy: watches and holds her head We should likely drop the animals off too.

Brock: Did we have to bring them!

Laurie: What were we supposed to do? Leave them there?

Katie: Yeah…imagine what would happen if we weren't around to save them all the time.

Brock: imagines a roast duck and a mouse tail hanging out of Ping's mouth they could be able to fend for themselves!

Laurel: Come on, lets just go get them. the group walks out of the airport

Vinnie lies past out under a palm tree on the beach, TJ balancing on a coconut nearby. The waves gently lap against the beach and a cool breeze pushes a few clouds around the sky.

TJ: waves to the group as they walk up He did too much Ping.

Ping: I am not a drug you dimwit!

Katie: picks Vinnie up with telekinesis Well at least he won't be much trouble now.

Lizzy: yeah, let's just get to our hotel room and then hit the surf!

The group drops TJ, Ping, and Vinnie off at the hotel room and hit the warm sunny beaches in their swimsuits.

Katie idly tans out on the beach while Brock and Lizzy have sand castle wars with inflammable chemicals. Laurie and Laurel float in the sea, and the peaceful scene continues…until big hairy lizards invade!

Lizzy: Oh my god lizards attack!

Laurel: Is that like a parody of fox's when animals attack?

Lizzy: no!

Katie: Eek! Lizards! And I bet I can guess who's behind this dastardly attack!

Crone: walks up followed by a few diligent lackeys your assumptions are correct! I, the evil Crone, am here to ruin your vacation!

Brock: Why god why! I just got here! changes to his superhero costume and shoots at Crone

Crone: Your efforts are futile for I have already sealed your fate and the fate of everyone on this island by irritating a centuries old stone golem living at the center of the earth who is at this very moment angrily causing the Jamaican volcano to erupt and blot out the sun and cover the beaches with ash which will certainly ruin your vacation, cause world destruction, and heighten the chances of you catching lung cancer and there is nothing you can do about it! Oah! MAUAHAHAHAHAHA! lighting strikes in the background

Laurie: Ahh! That's too much information for my brain to handle!

Laurel: Someone set us up the bomb!

Brock: What!

Crone: All your bases belong to us! You have no chance to survive, make your time! flies off with his lackeys

Lizzy: What do we do now!

Laurie: We have to think carefully. There's a volcano just about to erupt nearby and if it is allowed to erupt it will destroy the Earth. the group changes into their superhero costumes and Lizzy puts on her flamboyant mask

Brock: I say we split up gang!

All: huh?

Brock: Well, if we split up we can cover more ground; we don't exactly know where the golem is do we?

Laurel: That's true, okay!

Lizzy: Oh! I want to go with Laurie and Laurel!

Katie: I'll go with Brock.

Laurie: Are we forgetting someone?

Brock: nah the two groups run off in different directions

Meanwhile, back at the hotel….

Vinnie: wakes up Ahh!

TJ: is sitting on the table eating a cracker Ahh! twitches his whiskers Do you always make this much noise when you wake up?

Vinnie: But it was scary! I was flying in cotton candy clouds eating cotton candy people and then this big ball of cotton candy came and ate me! looks around Where is everybody?

Ping: looks over at the duck from the window They went to have fun whilst you were daydreaming.

Something bangs on the door a few times then busts through, ripping the door from its hinges and shooting it across the room and into a wall. A big hairy dinosaur creatures stomps in

Vinnie: Eek! opens a window and jumps out of the room followed by Ping and TJ

Ping: What is that!

TJ: It is one of my evil minions sent by myself to destroy us all!

Ping: …um…

Vinnie: Look! A zip line! We'll use it to get away! Grabs a clothes hanger and hooks it up to the zip line. TJ hops on his head

Ping: oh no! I am not riding with you this time!

Dinosaur: Roaaaaar!

Ping: grabs Vinnie's legs and the zip line starts up quickly Ahh! screeches and covers his eyes with his ears

TJ: Wheeeee! squeals and raises his paws as if he were on a roller coaster

The zip line quickly ends and the three animals go flying through an open window onto a couch

Vinnie: Again! Again!

Ping: There's a dinosaur chasing us though! We have to find the rest of the group!

TJ: This situation calls for drastic measures!

Vinnie: We need to be strong and manly!

Ping: We need to be careful and brave!

TJ: We need to be become pirates!

Ping: Pirates!

Vinnie: Of course! turns back to normal and puts on a pirate hat and unsheathes a pointy wooden sword YAR!

TJ: changes back to normal and puts on a pirate bandana and an eye patch YAR!

Vinnie: We be big manly pirates!

TJ: Yar! Big manly pirates!

Ping: Please tell me your joking…

Vinnie: ties a bandana around Ping's head and gives him an earring Yar! No we aren't!

TJ: Yar with us Ping! Yar!

Ping: …Yar…

Both: YAR! The group runs off into the building

Meanwhile Laurie, Lizzy, and Laurel paddle out into the freshwater lagoon at the center of the island, looking for what might be irritating the centuries old golem living…well you get the picture…Oddly, a large black spire raises from the center of the lake and they drop anchor right next to it, climbing onto its docking platform.

Laurie: what is this thing?

Laurel: Its some big black spire thinger! What else?

Lizzy: if my memory is correct this wasn't here when we first got here.

Laurel: Well what should we do?

Laurie: Lets climb up it and see what its doing.

they start up the stairs and end up at the second highest point of the tower in no time. Above them a large blue sphere radiates with electrical energy pulsating straight into the lake. Suddenly their exit is barred by long powerful strands of electricity and the orb becomes an eyeball and stares at them

Eyeball: Who dares disturb the tower of Orbulon the Guardian?

Lizzy: it is us! The well…The Mystics!

Eyeball: blinks just the mystics? You don't have some flashy name?

Laurie: Hey lay off we're still coming up with one.

Laurel: Come one, lets get this over with. Your irritating the golem in the center of the earth right?

Eyeball: Yes! And you can't stop me!

large lightning rods pop out of the ceiling and floor and the eyeball floats off its pedestal. The rods soon become electrified and the eye sends them a burning glare as they send him energy. The group scatters as the eye shoots an arc of lighting at where they once stood, scorching the spot. The eyeball then turns its glare on Lizzy, who quickly puts up a protective shield. The arc of electricity goes around her shield and into the wall behind her. The wall explodes revealing a large transformer.

Laurel: What the heck is that?

Eyeball: No! Don't touch that!

Laurie: Look out I'll get rid of that thing! makes it explode in a burst of Electrical energy that zaps the floating eyeball stunning it for a moment. Oddly it still floats in the air There must be another transformer around here somewhere! Look around for it Laurel!

Laurel: goes invisible and pokes at the walls, finding one that had a room behind it I found it! Lizzy quickly blows a hole in the wall and Laurie blows the second transformer up. Despite all this the eyeball still floats.

Eyeball: You…you have not yet seen my true power! the eyeball promptly drops to the floor shattering into a million tiny pieces

Lizzy: Was that his true power?

Laurel: Well, at least its dead, now we won't have to deal with him anymore. Yay!

The group gets into a Charlie's Angels esque victory pose

Laurie: Hey! There's a hole over here, where do you think it leads?

Lizzy: well let's find out! Hops in the hole followed by the rest of the group and they are teleported off to another place

Meanwhile, TJ, Ping, and Vinnie find themselves aimlessly wandering a large oddly designed building, hounded at every turn by large pointy toothed monsters.

Ping: TJ will you put that thing down, your going to get us spotted.

TJ: picks up a boom box I'm a pirate! I'm supposed to pillage!

Vinnie: Yar! Turn it on; I'm tired of all this quiet.

TJ: Turns it on to some random hip hop, pirate, polka style, accordion music Is this good?

Ping: That's terrible!

Vinnie: That rocks!

TJ: turns it up We're hip hop pirates! Yarr!

Vinnie: Yaarr! pimp walks

TJ: We're the rizzle!

Vinnie: All to kizzle fo shizzle

TJ: Yar!

Vinnie: Yar!

Pointy Toothed Monster: Fee Fi Fo Fum b!

TJ: Oh you did not just go there!

PTM: Oh yes I did!

Ping: …

Vinnie: Oh damn!

PTM: ROAARRR!

All: Ahh!

TJ: puts on Sixties music and runs through the halls chaotically. They run this way and that followed by the PTM before bumping into each other and running into another room.

Ping: looks around the small dark room and a door shuts closed behind them, as tinky-winky the teletubby floats down from the ceiling and glares at them.

Tinky-Winky: Well well, look what the cat's dragged in! Shall we have a little fun?

Vinnie: Oah mah gawd! It's the guy from my drug hallucination!

Tinky-Winky: Yes Vinnie! It's me!

Vinnie: Noooo!

Tinky-Winky: Yessss!

Vinnie: Nooooo!

Tinky-Winky: Roaaarrr!

All: Ahh! the group runs down the dark tunnel

Tinky-Winky: I just want to be your friend!

The chase continues for a few moments before the valiant heroes reach a large cavern with a lava river filling the floor. A warm updraft flows here, pushing all air upwards in powerful thermal currents. Vinnie turns back to his bird form and TJ back to mouse form

Vinnie: puts TJ on his back and flutters into the air, Ping grabbing his feet. With his passengers he quickly flies out over the lava, the thermal currents carrying him easily Hello and welcome to Fuzzy Airlines, the captain has just turned on the fasten seatbelts sign so please hold on with both hands. Please dump all excess baggage and enjoy your flight. Peanuts will be served in five minutes.

Tinky-Winky simply flies after them with super teletubby powers (Oh my!)

TJ: Throws a hand grenade

Ping: …Where the hell did you get a hand grenade?

TJ: I'm magical!

Ping: er…

Tinky-Winky: Tinky-Winky knows where you live! Vinnie flies through a circular rock formation then down close to the lava under a large bridge of rock. Ahead of them is a short black spire in the lava, holding up a red orb

Vinnie: What the heck is that?

TJ: I don't know! Lets blow it up! chucks another hand grenade, the red orb explodes in a fiery upheaval of lava, which starts Tinky-Winky on fire and drops him into the lava Yay! No more teletubby! A tremendously powerful air current suddenly catches Vinnie's wing's and sends the group out the side of the volcano and into the island air again

Meanwhile, Brock and Katie had been trekking through the island jungles for some time in search of the evil Crone. Crone only had one tower left, the largest centered at the end of a rope bridge over a deep crevice in the earth. Crone watched from his evil spire, high above.

Crone: Those fools think they can meddle with me! They shall taste my wraith…as soon as my curry is done blows on a pot of curry Mmm curry surprise!

Brock and Katie walk into the main room of the spire to find the waiting Crone.

Crone: So you finally made it? gets off his throne excellent, for I have prepared a warm reception for you, very warm indeed.

Katie: Earth will never be destroyed and you will never kill the princess (though we don't know who she is)

Crone: puts down the pot of curry and takes a step back, a large hand suddenly popping out of it. The hand grabs the side of the pot and suddenly a large curry monster with an afro hops out of the pot! It lumbers towards Brock and Katie, dripping Curry goodness as Crone teleports off.

Brock: Damn! He got away! turns to the curry monster well! We can at least silence the beast! His arm becomes a sword and he slashes at the monster, taking nothing but curry juice in his slash, and leaving the monster unscathed What the heck!

Katie: Pushes the monster back with telekinesis before it can hit Brock It's a water being, it can't be harmed by us!

Laurel: What's going on? Runs in with Laurie and Lizzy

Brock: It's a curry monster!

Katie: We can't really damage it and its kinda freaking us out with those noodle claws it has.

Lizzy: hmmm, how do you destroy a monster made out of curry?

Laurie: We could set it on fire….

Laurel: Does it have any organs?

Vinnie: You don't defeat a curry monster! runs in with TJ and a distantly trailing Ping You eat them!

The group suddenly gives the Curry Monster a hungry look and slowly advances on its yummy-ness

Curry Monster: Please! I taste like old gym socks!

The group dives into the monster, munching in a bloody feast of hot sauce, curry, and bad manners

Laurel: burps Mmm! They should make a curry monster soup!

Laurie: Canned monster!

Suddenly the floor in front of the group falls out and a huge stone golem pops through it taking up most of the space in the room

Katie: Oh my god! It's the golem that was living at the center of the Earth! It must've gotten pissed off and come to eat us!

Lizzy: Well at least we'll die with full stomachs!

Golem: Bwar! I am the great golem that lives at the center of the earth! I am angry because I have been summoned here for no reason! The mystics have no reason to meddle with my life! Why am I here!

Brock: You were summoned by accident, Mr. Golem, by a powerful seer.

Golem: Roar! That makes me angry! Prepare to die mystics!

the golem rears its huge arm back and the group scatters, the golem's slow hit creating a crater in the tower. Laurie quickly summons a fireball above her head and Vinnie quickly sees a weak spot under the arm, as the golem recoils from the hit

Brock: Laurel! Quick! Get him to raise his arm!

Laurel: Moves to climb up the golems back but the golem spots her and spits flaming rocks at her. Lizzy quickly hops in the way with her shields taking the rocks and shooting them back at the stone behemoth. With that Laurel climbs up the monsters back and pulls off his rock eyebrows, causing the monster to raise his hands to try and get her off his head. With its weak underarm in clear view, Brock leaps forth, slashing off the monster's right arm in one clean swipe of his metal arm

Golem: Ahh! You cursed Mystics! Destroys two large stone pillars keeping the roof of the tower up and drifts down to his murky abyss

Lizzy: listens to the creaking sounds around them The roof is gonna collapse!

Katie: Run for the exit! The entire group takes off except for TJ and Vinnie

Vinnie: What the heck is keeping you TJ?

TJ: picks up a boom box and turns on Indiana Jones music Nothing anymore!

TJ and Vinnie run out as the spire collapses on itself and a boulder blocks the door behind them

Their vacation though short-lived, the heroes reluctantly get on the plane to go back home, the animals once again having to share a backpack.

Laurel: Well I think I've learned a valuable lesson from this whole ordeal.

Brock: and what would that be?

Laurel: if it looks good eat it!

Katie: I've learned something too, always do what underpaid crazy radio hosts aks, they give cool prizes.

Lizzy: oh, the poor lizards! They didn't mean harm to anybody!

Laurie: They died noble deaths.

TJ: shows off a mushroom Look what I got in Jamaica!

Vinnie: What is it?

TJ: Its ping!

Ping: jaw drops no way!

TJ: Its ping its ping its ping.

Ping: no! It can't be! I'm not a drug!

TJ: Now you can't get mad at me for calling you a druggy kitty!

Ping: GRR! hisses

TJ: Eek!

Ping: swipes at TJ

Vinnie: Ow! Hey watch it!

Ping: Mrrow!

Vinnie: Quack!

Stewardess: stops in front of Laurie Are you all right miss?

Lizzy: She's got that terrible farm animal disease.

Brock: Its really horrible.

TJ: Ow! Ow! Ow! Squeak!

Ping: Ack! Quit pecking at me you duck!

Stewardess: wanders off thinking the group is crazy, she doesn't know how right she is

End v

Quack!
