It starts at night time. We're back on the road, and JoJo was tuned into NPR.

Eddy: Can we please listen to something else. This garbage is putting me to sleep.

JoJo: Quiet. Liberal media helps me stay awake.

The radio fizzles for a second and switches to a new story

Radio Man: Breaking news, police have been able to recover the security camera footage from a seven eleven that was completely leveled by an explosive device earlier today. The footage reveals four culprits, a man traveling with three children. There are currently warrants out for their arrest. One of the children, seen cleaving the store carrying armfuls of mike and ikes was identified as billionaire playboy Doug Hepburn. If you see anything that may lead to their capture, please contact authorities

JoJo: Hmm. That's bad.

Me: Yo are you joking? Oh my god I'm an outlaw. What's my butler gonna think of this.

Eddy: You know Jotaro, I think now would be a good time to give me that sword you mentioned

JoJo: Oh I made that up. I don't have a sword. You can have this though.

Jotaro reaches into his cargo jacket and pulls out a fork, which he tosses to eddy

Eddy: Wow I feel like an absolute killing machine. Thanks asshole.

JoJo: No problem.

Double D: We may be on the lamb, but I think I've finally finished the device.

He holds up a rectangular box with a small black screen.

Double D: This screen will flash in increasing frequencies the closer we get to the dimensional anomaly.

Me: Dang double d, you always come through!

Double D: Yes.

Me: Anyways, I'm feeling a little bit cramped. I'm gonna go hang out on the roof for a bit.

I start to climb the ladder which leads to the top of the van. I open the hatch, and before going through i twirl my hat and give Eddy an if you touch my mike and ikes so help me i will bake you into a cake look.

Double D: Hold on! I'll join you, I need some fresh air after all that work.

Double D comes up to join me on the roof. I'm laid down, looking at the stars. Double D has to hold his hat onto his head to keep it from flying off his head. I don't really notice, as I'm looking at the night sky.

Me: THe moon's full tonight.

Double D: My, it's so bright that even though we're in the middle of nowhere, i can see just fine without a light.

Me: You know, back where i used to live i could never see the stars. We lived too close to the city. No matter how late it got, you could always see the glow from the city on the horizon.

Double D: That must've been nice.

Me: What? No, it was awful. I always felt so isolated. It might sound dumb, but without the stars it can get pretty lonely at night.

Double D: Really? Stars have only ever made me feel… Small. It's hard to think of how big the universe is compared to you. Whenever I stare at the night sky for too long i start to get anxious. It makes me feel like I'm just a speck.

Me: Aw D, that isn't true. You're crazy smart, for all you know you'll be visiting those stars one day.

Double D: Yeah, I highly doubt it. Doug, before today I've never even left the culdesac. I'm not someone who's destined for grand adventure, no matter how hard I wish I was.

Me: Is that why you decided to go on this trip? It was a chance to leave the culdesac?

Double D: I suppose, yes. For a very long time I've feared that I was going to spend the rest of my life trapped in that neighborhood. If I had said no to my first chance to leave it behind, it would've been like I was giving into all those fears.

Me: Well, you're here now. Who knows where you'll go next?

Double D: I guess you're right. Thanks.

For a while, we sat there in silence watching the stars. I noticed that double d wasn't getting anxious like he said the stars usually made him. He just looked like he was deep in thought.

Me: Hey D, did you ever figure out what that stand ability of yours does

Double D: Oh, I had forgotten to tell you! I have! Actually, it's the reason I was able to complete the Dimensional Locater so quickly!

Me: Oh? THat's rad, show me.

Double D: Alright! Could I borrow your watch?

I hand him my golden rolex watch, and he summons his stand. The stand takes the watch into his monstrous gorilla paw and closes it. When Hardware Store opens his hand, the watch has been perfectly disassembled into its individual parts.

Me: Wow! You have the ability to fuck up my expensive stuff!

Double D: Shush, I'm not finished.

Hardware Store closes his hand and opens it again, and the watch is perfectly reconstructed.

Double D: I can deconstruct and reconstruct whatever i touch incredibly quickly! I'm not just limited to constructing things that have taken apart either, i can create entirely new objects as long as I'm touching the composite materials.

Me: That's rad! Don't do that to my watch again.

Double D: Alright, sorry.

Me: Alright, I'm starting to get motion sick. Let's head back down.

Double D and I start to make our way towards the closed hatch, but we're stopped in our tracks when we see a red fuzzy hand grasp the roof of the van. The intruder pulls himself up, a red monster about half of my size.

?: Elmo glad he found your van! Ready for Elmo to rip you up now?

Me: Ahh what the fuck

I reel back and lob a ball of fire at the muppet. It hits him square in the chest, and he flies off the van, erupting into flames. His limp body rolls off into the distance as we quickly outpace his corpse.

Double D: Goodness, what on earth was that?

Me: Elmo? Good god, it looks like we have all of sesame street hunting us down. Whatever, at least he went down easy.

Double D: DOug! He absolutely didn't!

I look behind me to where double d is pointing, only to see more pairs of fuzzy red hands pulling themselves up from the side of the van.

Elmo: Hahaha! It won't be so easy to kill the rest of Elmos!
