The next morning, in Orchid Bay, the Lee family, and Monroe were all set to go out...
Jasmine: Juniper Lee, it is time.
Everyone took the long walk to the magical barrier that was near the edge of town. What they didn't know, however, was that Jody, Ophelia, and Roger had arrived, and were secretly following them, to see what secrets Juniper Lee was hiding from them...
Jody: (whispering) Is anyone looking behind here?
Roger: (also whispering) I think there much more focused in getting to the edge of town...
Ophelia: (whispering as well) I wonder if there's something cool we'll get to see there.
Ophelia, Jody, and Roger were about to find out, as they and the Lee family reached the edge of town.
Jasmine: Okay, Juniper Lee, are you ready to make an attempt to cross the barrier?
Juniper: (sighs) Yes, Ah-mah, I'm ready.
Juniper Lee slowly walked up to the barrier with her whole family and friends (secretly) watching her...
Juniper: (sighs deeply) Here goes nothing.
The teenage girl raised her right arm, and moved it into the barrier. It broke through! A little shocked, she moved herself towards it. She walked into the barrier... and got past it. The current Xe Tuan Ze successfully made it out of Echo Creek!
Juniper: (happily) I did it! I got past the magical barrier!
Jody, Jasmine, and Ophelia gasped upon hearing that...
Roger: Wow, I don't believe this!
Jody: So that's why she could leap off buildings...
Ophelia: (smiles) She's a cool town hero.
The three high school kids walked up to Juniper Lee and her family, and when the Lee family members saw them, they were all surprised, especially Juniper...
Juniper: (nervously) Oh, hello, Jody, Roger, Ophelia. When did you come here?
Roger: We saw everything.
Ophelia: Are you really the Xe Tuan Ze of Orchid Bay?
Juniper Lee realized now that she couldn't deny it...
Juniper: Yes... I am the Xe Tuan Ze of Orchid Bay.
Juniper's friends were amazed at learning that she was involved with stopping many of the monsters from destroying the town.
Jody: Why didn't you tell us about this?
Jasmine: Because I had told her she couldn't. It is the rule that the Te Xuan Ze must follow.
Ophelia: (stunned) Wow.
Roger: So, until now, only your family knew about this?
Juniper: (looks down in guilt) Actually... no. A few others have also knew about that fact. The royal puppy princess of Barkingburg, Sweetie, and our friend, Lila.
Jody/Roger/Ophelia: Lila?
Jody: But isn't she a foreign exchange student? I thought you said that other people couldn't know about that secret!
Ray Ray: Well... Lila is really a sasquatch. We just used a magic potion to turn her into a human!
Roger: So, you're saying that Lila is really a bigfoot creature?
Ray Ray and Juniper Lee nodded.
Ophelia: Whoa... that's pretty cool.
Jody: (in excitement) Who knew that my best friend is the town hero of Echo Creek?!
Roger: Plus, our other friend is a real sasquatch!
As Juniper's friends talked to her about how much more cooler she and Lila became, her grandmother broke up the conversation by reminding her
granddaughter what she needed to do...
Jasmine: Juniper, now that you've crossed the magical barrier, you need to get to Barkingburg. I don't really know this, but I sense that Lila might be in danger!
Juniper: Absolutely, Ah-mah! (to Jody, Roger and Ophelia) Can you three give a warning to the entire town of Echo Creek that they're in great
danger, and to keep themselves and their families safe?
Jody: Absolutely, Te Xuan Ze!
Roger: On it.
Ophelia gave a slight nod. After the three friends ran back to the city, Juniper Lee turned to her family...
Juniper: Mom, Dad, Dennis, can you stay inside, and keep Ah-mah safe from those troublemakers?
Barbara, Michael, and Dennis gave a thumbs-up, as Juniper went over to Ray Ray...
Juniper: Ray Ray, could you contact me on my phone, if any of the troublemakers come to Echo Creek? Even though Auntie Roon and Kai Yee might be working in another world, chances are, one of their new partners might come over here to cause mischief.
Ray Ray: I definitely will!
Juniper: Now, I need to get to the portal in the forest, go to Barkingburg, and help Lila. If she's in trouble, I gotta go rescue her.
Juniper said goodbye to her family and friends, and then ran off to the forest portal. Jasmine said, 'Good luck, sweetie.' while her family and friends watched her run with pride, and Monroe howling in triumph. She ran through the city of Echo Creek, to the forest, to the portal, and then transported herself from the forest to Barkingburg, hoping that her sasquatch friend was alright...
