House of Rituals:

Amber and Aaron were hiding in the flower nursery, afraid of being discovered by the grower at any moment.

"You can hide but I will find you anyway," said the grower.

"Hurry, turn off your phone," whispered Amber.

Aaron grabbed his phone and turned it off. The grower was still running around looking for Amber and Aaron.

"Now what?" Asked Amber.

"You distract him and I'll go get that lily," said Aaron.

"How am I supposed to do that?" Asked Amber.

"I don't know, What would Nancy Ninja do in this situation?" Asked Aaron.

"She would take him out with the spider bite," said Amber.

"And what does that?" Asked Aaron.

"Makes all her enemies unconscious," said Amber.

"And can you do the spider bite?" Asked Aaron.

"No, unfortunately I can't do it," said Amber.

"Then you'll have to think of something else, sis," said Aaron.

"I already know something," said Amber.

"What's that?" Asked Aaron.

"Don't worry about that and you go steal that lily, Brave Phoenix," said Amber.

"Good luck Golden Unicorn," said Aaron.


In the meantime, in the house. Trudy was preparing dinner, but at the same time she was very tense about everything.

"Victor you will manage without me, won't you?" Asked Trudy.

"Don't worry, we'll manage," said Victor.

"And Amber, she always keeps talking about a special goodbye ritual, do you know anything about that?" Asked Trudy.

"No, I don't know anything about that," said Victor.

"I'm so nervous," said Trudy.

"It's gonna be all right, Trudy," said Victor.

In the meantime, Nina and Fabian came home, they quickly went upstairs to Nina and Amber's room, where Patricia and Alfie were already there.

"You guys are back," said Alfie.

"We were getting worried, said Patricia.

"We were caught by Mason's parents, said Nina

"And we were locked up, said Fabian.

"But how did you escape? Asked Patricia.

"We were lucky that Mason helped us, said Nina.

"Those parents of Mason are completely out of control, they will do anything to get their son back, said Fabian.

"They wouldn't mind sacrificing KT for it, said Nina.

"But they don't know about Mason helping us, do they? Asked Patricia.

"No, and we need to keep it that way, said Nina.

"How are the preparations for the farewell ritual going? Asked Fabian.

"Everything is going perfectly, said Alfie.

"All we need now is that Egyptian water lily, said Patricia.

"Where are Amber and Aaron? Asked Nina.

"They're getting that lily now, said Patricia.

"Let's hope they make it back on time, said Nina.


Back at the flower nursey. Aaron sneaked around and found lilies in a large pond. Amber was still trying to distract the grower, but unfortunately she got caught.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Asked the grower.

"Grab the lily Brave Phoenix, we need to get out of here!" Yelled Amber.

Amber ran towards Aaron and bumped into him, causing him to fall into the water.

"Aaron what are you doing we don't have time for a swim," said Amber.

"You bumped into me and I fell in, wasn't going for a swim," said Aaron.

"Grab one of those lilies and let's get out of here," said Amber.

Aaron grabbed one of the lilies and climbed out of the water, he and Amber started to run out the flower nursery, while they were chased by the grower.


In the meantime in the house. Otis and Jerome were in Otis' room and were thinking up prank.

"Have you thought of anything?" Asked Otis.

"No, I've got zero, I've nothing in my mind," said Jerome.

"Is it too late for us? Are we too old for pranks now?" Asked Otis.

"No, I refuse to believe that, we will think of the ultimate prank and pull it off," said Jerome.

"And become legends," said Otis.

"Exactly, we will become legends," said Jerome.

"But we still haven't come up with anything," said Otis.

"I won't give up," said Jerome.

"Maybe we should get Alfie to join in, after all, we want to become legends as the Golden Trio," said Otis.

"I'll get him," said Jerome.

Jerome got up and left the room, he went to his room and saw that Alfie was not there. Jerome walked upstairs to Nina and Amber's room and went inside, Fabian managed to hide just in time before Jerome saw him.

"Hello can't you knock first," said Patricia.

"That's not even your room," said Jerome.

"Doesn't matter, you still have to knock," said Patricia.

"Alfie, can I have a word?" Asked Jerome.

"Sure you can mate," said Alfie.

"Not here, I need to talk to you and Otis in Otis' room," said Jerome.

"Go ahead, Alfie," said Nina.

Alfie got up and left the room. Fabian came from his hiding place.

"And once again was this a close call," said Nina.

"Let's hope Amber gets back soon so she can help me with the disguise again," said Fabian.

"Let's hope she and Aaron managed to get the lily," said Nina.

"Then we can make the mixture for the ritual," said Patricia.

"Have you already chosen something to give to Trudy?" Asked Fabian.

"Yes," said Nina.

"So have I," said Patricia.

"Good job," said Fabian.

"If all goes well, the Gem of Empathy will be restored tonight," said Nina.

"And we are one step closer to fully restoring the Mask of Anubis," said Fabian.

"And closer to saving KT," said Patricia.

"Sibuna," said Nina, while she did the Sibuna gesture.

"Sibuna," said Fabian and Patricia while they did the Sibuna gesture.

In the meantime, Jerome and Alfie arrived in Otis' room.

"What would you like to discuss with me?" Asked Alfie.

"The chance to prove yourself," said Jerome.

"Why do I need to prove myself?" Asked Alfie.

"You need to prove that you're still a prankster," said Jerome.

"Yes, let's bring back the Golden Trio and pull off the best prank ever," said Otis.

"I don't know if I have time for this," said Alfie.

"Come on Alfie, we used to pull so many pranks and now we hardly do that anymore," said Jerome.

"Yeah, it's like the Anubis Stooges don't exist anymore," said Otis.

"Exactly, soon everyone will forget about us and no one will remember our previous epic great pranks," said Jerome.

"You don't want that, do you, Alfie?" Asked Otis.

"Of course not," said Alfie.

"Join us in pulling the ultimate prank so we go down in the school books as legendary pranksters," said Jerome.

"No, we will go down in the school books as legendary prank kings," said Alfie.

"That's the spirit, Alfie," said Otis.

"And did you guys come up with something yet?" Asked Alfie.

"No, but if the three of us think of something, we all know that it going to be awesome," said Otis.

"Okay, promise I will give this my full attention after Trudy's farewell ritual," said Alfie.

"Deal," said Jerome.

"The Anubis Stooges are back in the game," said Otis.

Jerome, Otis and Alfie gave each other a high five.

A few moments later, Amber and Aaron returned and headed straight to Amber's room.

"We got the lily," said Aaron, as he showed the lily.

"That is great," said Nina.

"Aaron why are you soaking wet?" Asked Fabian.

"Oh Amber bumped into me when I tried to grab the lily and then I fell into the water," said Aaron.

"I'm sorry about that Aaron, but that scary looking grower caught me," said Amber.

"Caught you? What does that mean?" Asked Nina.

"Aaron and I went to that flower nursey to steal that lily," said Amber.

"You stole this lily?" Asked Fabian.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you that small detail," said Patricia.

"Why did you steal that lily?" Asked Nina.

"Because that man wouldn't sell them and we really need one," said Amber.

"And then you come up the with plan to steal it?" asked Fabian.

"Does it really matter how we got the lily? The important thing is that we have one," said Aaron.

"Yes, so now we can finish the mixture and do the ritual," said Amber.

"But what if the grower calls the police and gives a description of the two of you?" Asked Nina.

"We were wearing ski masks and we didn't use each other real names, only the awesome code names I came up with, so nothing can be traced back to us," said Amber.

"Let's really hope that," said Nina.

"If you guys excuse me, I'm going to take a shower now," said Aaron.

Aaron gave the lily to Patricia and walked out of the room.

A few hours later and it was time for the farewell ritual. Alfie walked into the living room with Trudy.

"It won't hurt, will it?" asked Trudy.

"It hurts very much," teased Alfie.

"What?" Asked Trudy.

"Kidding, just messing with you," said Alfie.

"And I won't get dirty?" Asked Trudy.

"No, you won't," said Alfie.

Alfie walked Trudy toward the center of the living room and helped her into the chair, Trudy was given a beautiful flower necklace by Nina.

"My precious thing!" Yelled Alfie.

"And what do you mean by that?" Asked Trudy.

"Nothing, I'll be right back," said Alfie.

Alfie ran out of the living room and went to his room. Alfie got down on his knees and felt under his bed. Suddenly Alfie felt a lot of pain in his fingers and when he pulled his hand out from under the bed there was a mouse trap stuck to his fingers. Alfie removed the mouse trap from his fingers.

"Why is that thing here anyway, we haven't had mice in ages," said Alfie.

Alfie looked under his bed and pulled out a toy lightsaber and a slingshot, he looked at the two things and threw the lightsaber on the bed and the slingshot he took to the living room.

"I'm here again, we can start," said Alfie.

Nina, Amber, Aaron, Patricia and Alfie stood around Trudy and held her hands.

"We say goodbye to Trudy, may they find happiness and love," said Nina, Amber, Aaron, Patricia and Alfie in unison.

"That was so sweet," said Trudy.

"This is my most beautiful dress, but I'm going to give it to you so you can still think of me from time to time," said Amber, as she gave Trudy the dress.

"But sweetie, you really don't have to," said Trudy.

"Trudy this is for you too, I got it from gran, but this way you can never forget me," said Nina, as she gave Trudy a stuffed elephant.

"Oh, sweetie, I can't take that," said Trudy.

"With this ukulele I started making music, I've always kept it with me for luck, but I want you to have it so you'll never forget me," said Aaron, as he gave Trudy his ukulele.

"Oh my sweetie," said Trudy.

"I wear this bracelet the most and now I want you to wear it so you can always think of me," said Patricia, as she gave Trudy her bracelet.

"You all are going to make me cry," said Trudy.

"This is a special slingshot, so you can always think of me too, said Alfie, giving Trudy his slingshot.

"Thank you," said Trudy.

"And it comes in handy when you find a Kenyan bear in your path," joked Alfie.

"Are there bears there?" Asked Trudy.

"No, of course not, I'm just making a joke," said Alfie.

Amber walked over to Fabian and he handed her the vial of the mixture, she walked back to Trudy.

"Can you guys hurry up because we have more to do today," said Victor.

"We're almost done Victor, please calm down," said Alfie.

"And now the final part of the farewell ritual," said Amber.

"But I'm really not gonna get dirty, am I?" asked Trudy.

"No, I promise you won't, "said Amber.

Amber took the cap of the vial and poured the mixture on Trudy.

"It smells nice," said Trudy.

In Nina and Amber's room, the Mask was lying on Nina's bed and the gem of Empathy lit up and became a bright shade of green.

The first task had gone good, two more to go. Will the club manage to complete the other tasks in time before it is too late for KT?
