It was a moderately warm morning outside in Littlebark. Technobear was trying to impress Mia outside of her house. "How about we go out for lunch sometime boo?" he asked. "Anyone but you!" Mia said annoyed.

At the DeLee's house, Fee was in her bedroom just getting up out of bed. Her nightwear was a white tank top and purple pajama pants. She looked at the morning sky from her window. "It's honestly so good to be back in Littlebark," Fee said to herself.

Foo was in his bedroom in his rocket ship underwear as he snored in bed. He tried to get in a more comfortable position but in doing so, he fell off his bed. Foo woke up wondering what the heck happened and how he fell off his bed. "I'm so funny to fall off my own bed," he giggled.

When the twins got dressed and stuff, they came into the living room to see their mother having trouble with cooking breakfast. "Hey baby Fee and baby Foo!" Grada said, "Don't mind situation!" "You sure you don't need help mom?" asked Fee. "Grada don't need help sweetie," Grada replied. Suddenly, the food began to burn as she looked in realization.

After that, Grada served her kids breakfast. It was pretty badly burned needless to say. Fee looked at a little hesitant on seeing what it tasted like. Foo just ate it like it was nothing. Fee tried it but wasn't really into it, although she pretended to like it. "Good huh?" asked Grada. Fee nodded, pretending to like it. "Best breakfast ever!" Foo said gleefully. "Where's dad?" asked Fee. "He's setting up shop in center of Littlebark," Grada replied.


Meanwhile...

Bada was pushing a drawer on wheels to the center of Littlebark. Inside were a bunch of sculptures he made. "It's a shame snakes can't be Littlebark currently," said Bada, "But you know, I can live with it." Once he was at his destination, he set up shop.

About an hour went by and Bada made some good money on selling his sculptures. Someone with a cart came rolling into the area but upon seeing Bada, this individual was more than unhappy. She was a Tree Spirit with long gray hair, pink glasses, and a purple sweater. Her name was Phyllis Darwinshaw, she made and sold sculptures herself much like Bada but with a big temper.

"Who do you think you are?" she yelled, "This is my spot to sell my sculptures!" "Oh hey," Bada greeted, "Name's Bada! You want to by something, yes?" "No you dimwit! This is my spot and my spot only!" Phyllis said. "Sorry floaty thing but Bada got here first," Bada responded, "Consider finding new place to sell whatever it is you sell." Phyllis tried to get Bada to leave but after a good few minutes, she knew it was clear that Bada wasn't going to give up his spot for her. "Ugh! Darn you are tough to communicate with!" Phyllis said, "You have the brain of someone who's been living in the stone age for a majority of their life! Good riddance to you Imp!" She took her cart and left the area.


Some time later, Bada made it back home. "How'd business go?" asked Grada. "It went well," Bada replied, "Although this floaty thing with cart wanted me out but I didn't go. She was pretty funny." He wasn't too upset about Phyllis telling him off, though he didn't seem to understand what she ment by those things.

Fee and Foo were in the living room watching TV when they heard Bada talking about how things went. "Floaty thing?" asked Fee. Foo shrugged, "Nothing floats in Littlebark. I mean, I don't think? Unless it's those things I see when there is two versions of myself." Fee looked at Foo a little unsure what he ment. "Umm, okay then..." she said, "Kinda dragged off a bit but I guess it's better than nothing."


The next morning, Bada returned to the center of Littlebark. Around the time he had just set up and was beginning to sell, Phyllis had arrived to see Bada in the spot again. "Darn you!" She shouted. Bada noticed Phyllis nearby him. "Hey floaty thing!" He greeted, "You wanna buy something from me now?" "First off, I am a Tree Spirit you brainless bafoon!" Phyllis said angerly, "And no! I have no interest in those things you call sculptures! What I make are REAL sculptures!" Phyllis showed Bada her sculptures which Bada seemed a little unsure of. "Eh, could use some more effort," he said. This statement enraged Phyllis! It looked like her eyes were about to pop out from her rage. "WELL AT LEAST I PUT MORE EFFORT THAN YOU EVER WOULD!" Phyllis bellowed, "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ART YOU STONE AGE LIVING IMBECILE!" Phyllis left in a rage leaving Bada pretty confused.

Bada came home and explained what happened. "Alright, who is this dingus?" asked Fee. "Don't know," Bada replied, "But she seem rather flustered. Maybe if I show her snakes, she'll be happy." "I don't know dad," Fee said, "She doesn't sound like the type to like snakes." "How about Foo shoes?" asked Foo. "Huh, I didn't know you still made those," said Fee rather surprised, "But I don't think she'd like that either." Foo gave a look of disappointment.


The third day, things would go south quickly. Bada arrived to the center of Littlebark once more and started to set up. Before the folks showed up, Phyllis did. She saw Bada had arrived and was setting up. This of course enraged her but then she got a rather gnarly idea to get Bada to leave.

She went over to Bada with her cart. "Hey there," she said trying to sound guilty, "I'm sorry for saying such horrendous things about you Imp. Perhaps you ain't such a bad being after all. Hopefully you are willing to forgive me." "Ah yes, Bada is willing to forgive you," he responded. "That's good to know," Phyllis said feeling like her plan was already working, "Would you like to see a list of what I sell?" She then threw a piece of paper past Bada at landed on the grass. Bada turned his back away from Phyllis to go get the paper. Phyllis saw her opportunity to strike.

She pushed Bada's drawer and it began to roll down the street. "Oh no!" she said, "Your whatchamacallit is on the loose!" Bada looked back to Phyllis then noticed his drawer rolling away. "Dang it!" he gasped as he ran off to go get his drawer.

Phyllis giggled, "What a moron! Can't believe he fell for something as dumb as that!" She set up shop gleefully, feeling like she got away with what she had done.

Bada chased after his stuff. It didn't help that the road was progressively getting steeper and steeper. His drawer was soon going faster than he was to the point where Bada could barely keep up. Bada then noticed a skateboard off to the side and quickly took it. Terrence who was getting out of a cafe nearby noticed Bada taking the skateboard. "HEY! THAT'S MY SKATEBOARD!" He shouted. "It's only what you call temporary!" Bada replied as he tried to balance himself on the skateboard. It wasn't long till he caught up with his drawer. He quickly grabbed onto it hoping to slow it down, but it didn't.

Jeremy was walking when he was nearly hit by Bada and his drawer. "Sorry mushroom man!" he called to Jeremy. Just shortly ahead was 2 trash guys trying to decide on what to do with a broken TV that couldn't fit in their trash truck because it was full. "You know Pete, I wish this TV could be broken apart so we could fit this in more easily," The first guy said. Right as he said that, Bada rolled by and his drawer practically decimating it. "Well Charlie, you got your wish by whoever that weird fella was," the second guy said. Ahead was TB dancing with his boombox out on the side trying to impress Mia. "Why do I let you keep following me?!" She yelled. "Because you know you like me babe!" Technobear said. Bada came by which crushed Technobear's boombox. TB stopped dancing and became teary eyed. "Peace and quiet at last!" Mia grunted as she began to walk away, "Maybe that's a sign on how I truly feel about you!"

Bada abandoned the skateboard and got onto the drawer hoping his weight would slow it down. It seemed to work for a second but then Bada saw a rock up ahead. His drawer hit into the rock, causing Bada to be launched up into the air and surprisingly land on Ira Fingerman. "Saved by big finger?" Bada asked himself as he stared at Ira. The finger set him down as Bada looked at it in amaze. "Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Fee as she and Foo came to who hearing the commotion. "This big finger saved me baby Fee," he said. "Saved you from what?" she asked.


Meanwhile, Phyllis was selling her sculptures to folks. She was having an amazing time selling her stuff. Many had gotten in line to buy what she had. Some of those folks consisted of (but not limited to): Dade, Wade, Piri, Hanzi, Kip Dinkly Jr, and François. After Phyllis was done serving them, she suddenly saw the twins and Bada coming up to her, much to her surprise.

"Hello there!" she greeted, "What brings you ba-" "Don't pretend like you don't know what you did!" Fee scolded, "I know what you did! You made my dad's drawer full of his sculptures roll off just so you can take the spot he already got to!" Phyllis than looked at her, Foo, and Bada. She than said to herself, "He's got young ones too? Ugh, how embarrassing..."

"I don't know what you're talking about little one," Phyllis said out loud, "I wouldn't do such a thing. So I think it's best you carry on with your day." "Don't try to pretend dingus!" said Fee, "Your a thief and you know it! You think we're not smart enough to know what you did? Oh Please, we've heard the stuff you said to our dad and we are sick of it!" Phyllis was starting to get irritated really fast and her face made it abundantly clear that she didn't want to deal with this. "And what if I did?" she asked, "You just gonna scold me over it? If you won't buy anything and just be an annoying Imp like your father, than do me a huge favor and leave!" Bada felt hurt by this and Fee could tell just by looking at his face.

Fee looked back at Phyllis and felt her blood boil and he fists clenched. She was about to say something until she heard a voice that she wasn't expecting to hear. "Leave my family alone!" that one voice shouted. Phyllis had a face full of surprise and shock. Fee looked to see who it was that spoke up, and it was Foo! This was something she least expected he'd do. Foo began to very slowly walk up to Phyllis without any hesitation at all! "You can say what you want about me but say something about my family, that's crossing the line!" Foo continued, "Nobody will say that to my family! Who insults a father who is trying to care for his own kids? WHO INSULTS THAT FATHER'S DAUGHTER OF ALL THINGS TOO?! ARE YOU THAT COLD?!" Phyllis had no idea how to respond to Foo calling her out for being so horrendous. "W-w-ell...err...I-I-I um-" Phyllis studdered to only be cut off by Foo. "You can't respond because you have no valid points again me!" he said slightly calmer than before, "You know you are a thief and a lier! You full of it! And if you say that or anything about my family again, I will personally take your cart and destroy everything that you have made yourself!"

Fee couldn't believe that her own brother stood up for her and Bada. At the same time though, she felt really impressed to see Foo improving in his speech and somewhat maturing since they came back from Impland Empire. Foo went back to where Fee and Bada were. Phyllis went red in embarrassment which turned into rage as she shoved her own cart with her sculptures in rage, not realizing what she had done. "Listen here Imps!" she yelled, "It doesn't matter anymore because I am here, which means I got here first! You won't get me to move! None of you will!" The twins saw Phyllis's cart rolling off and tried to contain their laughter. "What's so funny?!" Phyllis growled. "Better question is why is your cart deciding to go for a stroll?" Fee said with a sly grin. Phyllis looked back to see her cart rolling off. She quickly floated over and grabbed it but the gravity was too great where she was and both she and her cart went zooming down the hill, slowly going out of sight. "WE'LL MEET AGAIN IMPS!!!" she shouted from a distance.


Later that evening, the DeLee's were having dinner and explained how the day went. "Glad you were able to stand up to that meany ghost thing," Grada said, "And it feels like our babies are growing up so fast!" "Indeed it does!" Bada replied. "Also, special thanks to Foo for standing up for us," Fee said. "It was nothin sis," Foo replied. "Nothin?" asked Fee, "Dude, you stood up for me and our father. That's a huge step for you to take, especially since your usually not too vocal when standing up for some. No offense." "None taken," Foo said.

The DeLee's had a good rest of the night. Although they may look dumb to some, they're certainly not as dumb as they look. And Foo made that very clear when he stood up to Phyllis for talking smack about his sister and dad. Slowly but surely, Bada and Grada would improve themselves, much like Foo has.

THE END!

Wow, I'm glad I got to finish the story because it took a while and a lot of motivation to do so. I've been kinda keeping myself busy and finding some new interests in things, which is why I haven't released a new story in quite some time. Thanks for reading story and feel free to leave a review! Stay tuned for Episode 10 of A New Era this season. I don't know when it'll be released but hopefully sometime by the end of this year.
