"What was THAT all about?" Blaze questioned.

"The usual," Crusher shrugged.

"I thought that was your brother," Sparkle frowned. "He doesn't act like a brother,"

"Yeah, he sounds like a jerk," AJ agreed.

"Not even the first time," Crusher shrugged again. "Don't get your hairs in a twist, it won't help,"

"Your family orphaned you?" Phoenix frowned as she gritted her teeth. "Why?"

"Something with existing and not worth existing," Crusher sighed. "That's why I hate Family Festivals,"

"Let's go meet with MY family then!" Pickle cried, grabbing him by the tire. "See ya guys later!"

As soon as they were gone, Flame hissed and shook his head.

"Some parents are just disappointing…"

"THERE YOU ARE!" A magenta truck with black skulls snarled as the icy blue truck came to the large tent. "What took you so long?!"

"I… I bumped into the nerd boy," Glacier spoke. "Nothing else, Dynama,"

"Oh, of course you did," Dynama rolled her eyes and snatched the bandage. "And remove THIS! It makes you look freaking WEAK!"

Glacier didn't say anything as the wound on his tire was exposed. Dynama then grabbed him and dragged him to where their parents were waiting.

"Good, you're BOTH here." Krisha huffed and turned to the whiteboard in front of them. "Now, here's the plan that I've been saving up for a long time…"

"So… you DO care for Glacier?" Pickle asked as they helped set up the Pickle Family stand.

"Not that I do, it's just…" Crusher sighed. "I've never seen him with a bandage before. It was usually me being abused before. I… I didn't think that anyone would be after they abandoned me,"

"Do you REALLY think they'd abuse Glacier next?" Pickle frowned. "Doesn't seem like them,"

"…You don't know them very well, them," Crusher shook his head.

"Yes!" Sparkle cheered as she won the ball toss game. "With only two tries!"

"Grest job, kid, here's your price!" The one in charge of the booth handed over a stuffed bear with stars on it.

"Good job, Sparkle!" Blaze ruffled his sister's hair.

"Yeah! Nice toss!" AJ agreed.

Phoenix and Flame watched as the siblings bonded over the games. The woman chuckled, but as she turned, she noticed her husband looking around, cautious.

"What's the matter, mi amor?"

"Krisha and Calvin." Flame hissed. "They… They're sponsoring this festival. They… They'll be here. I'm sure they will."

"I forgot that they were sponsoring," Phoenix shuddered. "Do you think…?"

"After what they did to Dynamite? Most definitely." Flame snarled. "We need to keep an eye on the kids,"

"Ice cream!" A voice echoed through, and the family turned to see a magenta truck with a big hat selling ice cream nearby. "Get you're if cream!"

"Ooh! Ice cream!" Sparkle squealed. "Can we get some, Mom and Dad?!"

"Yeah, can we?!" AJ excitedly asked.

"Oh, alright, here," Phoenix handed over the money. "But be careful,"

"Um, okay, Mom," Blaze nodded then they ran off to the ice cream seller.

"Good call," Flame nodded. "We should all be careful, especially now that Krisha and Calvin can do harm to any of us,"

"That's right!" Phoenix nodded. "We can't let ANYTHING lower our guards down!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

"BLAZE! SPARKLE! AJ!"

The two turned in horror as they watched the ice cream seller release a machine to grab the trio. Phoenix snarled.

"LET THEM GO!!"

"Not a chance!" Dynama huffed, removing her hat to reveal herself. "See ya, suckers!"

She then threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.

"MY BABIES!" Phoenix screamed. "WE NEED TO GET BACK MY BABIES!"

"And we will." Flame nodded. "Don't worry, Phoenix. I swear to get them back, whatever it may cost."

"We GOT THEM!" Dynama cheered as she dropped the sack.

"Excellent!" Krisha cackled.

"Can we go and enjoy the carnival now…?" Glacier muttered.

"Go ahead, you're a complete waste of time anyway," Krisha huffed.

Glacier sighed and drove off. Calvin frowned.

"Dear, why are we letting him leave? We're not done yet,"

"I know," Krisha rolled her eyes. "Dynama, follow after that stupid twin of yours and knock some sense into him,"

"Gladly." Dynama smirked and drove off.

"Krisha, what the hell?" Calvin growled. "They're a team, not enemies."

"Why care so much about our stupid son, Calvin? We can always have another," Krisha shrugged. "Easy kill, easy birth,"

"Ugh, fine…" Calvin sighed.
