(Or "Friends on the Other Stride")

"WELL THE LAST TIME YOU REMEMBER, ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE HAD ENDED UP ON THE ODD PART OF THE FRENCH QUARTER IN NEW ORLEANS AFTER A BRIEF DISPUTE. WANTING TO GET DIRECTIONS BACK TO THE MAIN CITY, THEY ENTERED A SMALL VOODOO SHOP FILLED WITH STRANGE TCHOTCHKES LIKE ALLIGATOR SKULLS, OLD CANDLES, AND STRANGE TOMES THAT SMELLED OF BLOOD…"

"Bon soir…" a familiar, Russian-sounding voice spoke.

"A THIN, VERY PALE, RAVEN-HAIRED WOMAN STEPPED FORTH FROM A ROOM, WALKING THROUGH A CURTAIN OF BEADS. SHE WORE A LONG, DARK PURPLE DRESS, HER BLACK HAIR WAS TIED UP WITH A PINK SCARF, MUCH LIKE THE NOMADIC ROMANI OF ANCIENT TIMES…"

"Hey! Uh, my name is Rocky, and this is Bullwinkle, and we—" Rocky spoke.

"Stop. Zay no more, mon cherie…" the woman spoke. "I, am Madame Claire Voyant, and I know egg-sactly vat yu need…"

"W-what we need?" Rocky asked. "Oh, y-yeah, we were lookin' for directions, r-right, Bullwinkle?"

"Don't ask me, I'm just the SIIIDEKICK…" Bullwinkle replied, still greatly sore and angered from earlier.

"Hey, I said I was SORRY!" Rocky replied, indignantly stamping his foot.

"Ztop, I believe I've eard' enough." Claire Voyant….(who was CLEARLY Natasha if you hadn't noticed by now) replied.

"NATASHA YANKED OUT A STRANGE AMULET COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, THIS AMULET IN PARTICULAR HAD THE DEFINING FEATURE OF TWO BRAINS MADE FROM CARVED LAPIS LAZULI, AND WAS HUNG FROM A RUSTED CHAIN."

"Vat yu need ees VALKINK EEN EACH OZER'S SHOES FOR ONCE!" She exclaimed.

"ONCE NATASHA EXCLAIMED THOSE WORDS, LIGHT FROM THE AMULET WENT FORTH INTO THE EYES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE, THEN BOTH LAPIS LAZULI BRAINS APPEARED TO SWAP PLACES. ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE FAINTED, THEN BORIS CAME AND QUICKLY PLACED THEIR BODIES INTO A SACK."

"Ees pretty gut voodoo lady-ink, Netesha!" Boris smiled, tying the sack.

"Oh, sank yu." Natasha replied. "I no ewen know REAL voodoo, though. Dis eesn't ewen shop dat belongs to us…"

"AT THAT EXACT MOMENT, A TALL, DARK-SKINNED YOUNG WOMAN DRESSED IN A WHITE DRESS WITH GOLD EARRINGS AND DREADLOCKS ENTERED THE SHOP. SHE WAS CLEARLY NOT PLEASED WITH BORIS AND NATASHA BEING THERE WAS WELL.."

"WHAT DE HELL AH YU PEOPLE DOIN' TAKIN' OVA MA SHOP?!" The woman exclaimed in a Jamaican accent.

"RUN, NETESHA!" Boris exclaimed as he and Natasha made an escape with the kidnapped Rocky and Bullwinkle.

"AH HAVE A LAW DEGREE, SO AH CAHN SUE YOU FO' BREAKIN' AN' ENTERIN'!" The woman yelled. "MADAME LE CADAVRE GONNA SEE YU EEN COURT!"

"OH JEEZ! ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE HAVE SWAPPED MINDS! WILL THEY UNDO THE CURSE?! MAKE SURE TO BE WITH US AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK, FOR "Vice Versa" OR "13 Going on Squirrely!"!"
