Meanwhile, the group kept exploring the woods and so far, no sign of Eddy's brother.

"What's with the duck head?" asked Eddy, while the smart Ed had crafted and attached a giant wooden duck head to the top of the van-boat.

"And a boat it is, Eddy." said Double D, as he polished the side. "It mimics the common mallard in order to offer minimal disruption to the local fauna."

That got Eddy excited. "It's got a sauna?!" he asked.

"Who said sauna?" asked Ed, getting in Double D's face.

Double D tried to get loose; he did, but in the process lost his hat. And at that point, everyone saw what was underneath: a patch of short black hair, and in the midst of it was a spot that looked like a scab that was in the process of healing.

"My eyes! They're burning!" Eddy covered his eyes.

Double D was red as a tomato. "Y-You stop that!" he demanded.

"Does it hurt, Double D?" asked Ed.

"Oh, shush!" Double D retorted as he took his hat back and put it on. "I believe we were still looking for Eddy's brother?"

"Uh... Yeah..." Kimiko's eyes widened. "...You okay, Edd?"

"I'll be fine, Kimiko," Double D replied as he adjusted his hat and put it back on. "Even if some folks are a bit immature. Drumroll, please."

"For what?" Eddy asked.

LJ and Zofia decided to do a drumroll for Double D anyway.

"By the authority vested in me, sanctioned by moi, I hereby christen this seaworthy vessel, the esteemed, um-" Double D declared before he paused to read the writing on the side. "'S. S. Mutant Almost A Chicken Duck'?"

"Well, that just rolls off the tongue." Candy commented.

"Surprised you didn't run out of paint." Eddy remarked.

"Stand clear, ladies and gentlemen!" Double D announced as he swung the bottle forward and soon hit it like a tradition of smashing a champagne bottle against a brand new ship.

"Hey, Muscles! Can we go now?" Eddy complained impatiently. "My bro'll make us eat a barnacle if we show up while he's watching Matlock."

"Really?" Double D's eyes widened.

"Your brother can feed us?" Angelica asked Eddy, taking that a little too seriously.

"Heck, yeah!" Eddy nodded. "He was the royal cook for the King of Englishland."

"You mean England, Eddy." Jenny corrected.

"Whatever." Eddy shrugged.

The boat soon began to go off so that they could continue their adventure.

"And away we go!" Eddy then announced. "It ain't nuthin' but smooth sailin' straight to big bro's place, guys!"

A boy dressed as a pirate masked wrestler who was known as Tibor the Terrible stepped out and looked around a bit crossly. "Where'd my boat go?!" he then snapped once he was all alone.


BACK IN THE SUNFLOWER FIELD...

May ran through the field of sunflowers, looking for Sarah and Jimmy, who had somehow escaped. "Where'd they go?" she asked.

"You see 'em, May?" Lee called, as she ran into May.

"Watch your back!" May shouted, piling onto Lee.

Lee shoved May away. "Get off me!"

"I coulda sworn they went this-a-way!" said May, getting to her feet.

Above them, Sarah and Jimmy cowered, clinging to the leaves of a sunflower. A ladybug crawled onto Jimmy. Since he's such a little weenie, he opened his mouth to scream, but Sarah clamped her hand over his mouth. She reached out and thwacked the ladybug with her finger, sending it flying off and it hit a sunflower.

Lee looked up, alert, and ran in its direction. "It's those two runts!" she declared, throwing May in the air. "Move it!"

May got to her feet and took off after Lee.

"I wonder where we'll end up?" Angelica commented.

"Hopefully somewhere not too far away," Zofia said. "At least... Somewhere where we can find a way back home after we take the Eds to Eddy's brother."

"I'm glad to be away from Peach Creek too," Marie said as she flopped on the side of the boat. "It's worth it in my case."

"Trouble at home?" Ambrose asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it." Marie mumbled.

"I know what ya mean," Eric said to her. "I don't wanna go back to where I came from either."

"Nor I, said the fly." Jane added.


TWO HOURS LATER...

The duck boat sat in a swamp, its neck was broken and its body abandoned.

"Where's your fauna now, Mr. Duck Boat?" asked Eddy, who along with the rest of the group was soaking wet.

"The collision was unavoidable, Eddy!" Double D replied. "It was the unpredictable current that proved unfavorable!"

Eddy slapped away a hungry mosquito. "Unbelievable! All I know is we're stuck in a swamp off the middle of nowhere!" He groused before used his shirt for a bandana. "Big Bro ain't gonna be impressed..."

By now, Double D was ready to burst. "Is that what you think?! That I'm here to impress your brother?" he spat. "That I would forsake my home and family for something as trivial as your brother's opinion of myself?!"

"Edd, calm down." Kimiko frowned.

"No, Kimiko, I believe Eddy needs to hear this!" Double D said sharply.

"Ah, relax, Double D," Ed rolled his eyes. "You worry too much."

"Ed..." Candy frowned firmly.

"Perhaps we should talk about you and Ed's immature behavior," Double D soon said firmly. "I'm sure he'd like to hear about that. Well, I'll have you know, if it hadn't been for my-"

"Crocodile attack!" Ed grinned playfully as he leaped onto Eddy, pretending to be a crocodile.

"Stop it, Ed, this is no time for games!" Zofia scolded. "I thought you'd know better than that!"

"He's a mean one!" Eddy laughed as he play fought with Ed. "Ah-ha!"

The two soon suddenly ran away and played their little game.

"Come on," Marie rolled her visible eye. "We better go after them."

Eric looked around as he looked unsure about this place as they explored like something told him that something wrong was about to happen.

"Wait! Where are you two going?" Double D panicked as he and the others went after Ed and Eddy. "Oh, dear. A malodorous marsh is not a place to play, gentlemen! Do you hear me?"

"Over here, Sockhead, hey!" Eddy called out as he and the others soon caught up, but ended up inside of a hazard. "Help me out of this molasses, it's trying to swallow me."

"Am I wrong or is the world rising?" Angelica asked in concern.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I hate it." Candy replied.

There was then a beat of silence.

"Now, Jen, lemme ask you something and don't be too hasty with your answer." Martin said to his twin sister.

"What is it, Marty?" Jenny replied.

"Put some thought into it: What is it that's not exactly water, but it's not exactly earth and when it sucks you under it, it wheezes the last shred of breath out of your lungs until you die?" Martin soon asked, sounding like a riddle.

The Mazinsky twins were shown to be nearly underground as they realized what they were stuck in. "QUICKSAND!"

Eddy's eyes widened. "Quicksand?!" he exclaimed. "Ed! We're done for!"

"We are in some deep manure!" Ed shouted.

"Immature, stupid! Immature!" Eddy retorted.

"I mean we're in deep shit!" Ed explained. "And you really think it's smart to talk grammar while we're DYING?!"

"I can't die like this!" Jenny cried out. "I wanted to die after winning a soccer game with Fiona Munson!"

"You have a real obsession with that Fiona Munson girl!" Martin said to his twin sister.

"Don't judge me!" Jenny retorted.

"Jane, do you think you can help them out of there?" Eric panicked as he asked his older sister.

"I'll try to see what I can do, Eric..." Jane frowned as she looked around the area before finding a vine. "Maybe if I make this into a rope, I can help pull them out."

"It's worth a shot!" Eric replied.

"Quick!" Jane said as she brought out the rope for the ones in the quicksand, but it landed on top of the sand. "Grab the top of the-... Oh, no..."

"They've vanished!" Double D panicked as he was alone in the sand as he was scared to death for his friends. "NO! NO! NOOOO! Where are you? Eddy! Ed! Oh, don't you give up on me! Answer me!"

"Double D, I am so sorry!" Jane soon began to cry with him.

"No, Jane, this is all my fault!" Double D told her through the tears. "I should have never let them leave the cul-de-sac!" he then took a handkerchief that was given to him. "Thank you, Ed. Goodness, Ed, that's filthy."

"Wait... Ed?" Jane asked with wide eyes before looking with Double D as Ed, Eddy, Martin, and Jenny were shown to be covered in mud, but otherwise, no worse for wear.

"Gotcha!" Eddy grinned before laughing with Ed and Jenny. "Man, you're such a sap! This muck's only ankle deep! Can't sink in it!"

"That was a good one and I even got Martin in on it too!" Jenny smirked.

"Did you know about this?" Martin glared as Jenny was also laughing.

"It was a little funny." Jenny chuckled.

And on that, Double D turned around and walked off.

"Hey Sockhead, where you going?" asked Eddy, following behind. "You got somewhere to be? What?"

Edd walked through the swamp until he reached a dock. He heaves himself up onto it, dripping wet, and he slipped on it. After making a label reading "Caution", he slapped it on a puddle and continued walking.

"Hey!" Eddy shouted, as he and Ed followed Edd. "Where ya goin'? You're headin' back into the swamp!" he reached for Edd's shoulder. "My bro don't live–"

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" Double-D snarled, smacking his hand away. "A SAP?! Well, excuse my sincerity for thinking I had lost some of the only people I have left in this world!"

Eddy didn't buy it. "...And?"

"It's surprising because your stubborn, inane desire to shock, sandbag, and swindle is what put us here in the first place!" roared Edd. "You and your nefarious scams!"

Now Eddy was really mad. "Like you were pickin' daisies! You built the stupid thing!" he shot back.

"If you had paid attention to what I said and not pushed the red button–" Double D retorted.

"Guys, guys!" Ed protested. "We're not gonna get anywhere with all this fightin'-"

"STAY OUT OF THIS, ED!" Both boys snapped, sending Ed rolling backwards.

"I've had enough!" Double D declared, kicking Eddy off. "I'm returning home!"

"But we can't go home, Double D!" Ed exclaimed.

Double D looked back coldly. "I'd rather face my consequences, Ed than wander aimlessly with so-called friends!" he retorted as he walked away.

The group winced a bit as this was a bit heartwrenching to watch.

"Hey, guys, come on!" Ed frowned. "We're a Dynamic Trio! We can't split up like this!"

"FINE! GO HOME! I DON'T BLAME YA! 'CUZ EVERYTHING WAS MY FAULT!" Eddy shouted as he began to form tears in his eyes as it looked like a friendship was over. "YEAH, YOU HEARD ME! A FOUL-UP WANNABE LOSER!"

"Oh, Eddy..." Angelica frowned.

"Please don't let it end this way." Zofia sounded just as emotional.

"I don't think I've ever seen them like this before." Marie said to the others.

Eddy soon turned away and began to cry and Angelica did her best to comfort him.

"Eddy?" Double D soon said as he came back suddenly.

"What?" Eddy asked through the tears.

"Your shirt, Eddy." Double D told him.

"My shirt?" Eddy asked out of confusion.

"Are those salt deposits from your lamentation?" Double D asked him as he put his finger on Eddy's shirt.

Eddy then looked down until suddenly, he got thwacked on the nose.

"Gotcha!" Double D then smirked.

Eddy smiled, wiping his eyes. "Goddamnit..." he chuckled.

Ed scooped them both up onto his shoulders.

"The band is back together, boys! To Eddy's brother's house!" Eddy then declared.

"Phew... That was close..." Jane sighed thankfully.

"I knew it would work out all along." Eric said innocently.

"Sure, you did." Jane teased as she ruffled up his hair.

"Not that way, Ed," Double D said as Ed went the wrong way at first. "This way."

"Whoops." Ed said bashfully as they went the other way then.

"You heard my pal, Ed!" Eddy proclaimed.

"What would you do without me, Eddy?" Double D smirked.

"Don't milk it, Sockhead." Eddy replied.

Candy, Kimiko, and Angelica looked so happy and relieved that their boyfriends were on good terms with each other again.

"They're like a family," Marie sighed to herself. "I wish I had a family like that."

Ambrose frowned softly. "Yeah..." he then said, feeling her pain and sadness. "Though I might have something that might cheer you up," he then said bashfully. "My school's having a dance and I can bring a guest."

"Really?" Marie asked. "Well, I think I can go with ya."

"Oh, you'd love to go?" Ambrose blushed. "That sounds great."

"I just ain't much of a dress wearer," Marie said. "Is that okay?"

Ambrose chuckled bashfully. "To tell you the truth, I'm not big on suits, especially ones that my dad makes me wear on special days like when we visit my grandmother." he then said to her.

"Well, alright then!" Marie replied.

Ambrose grinned at that.

"You're a cool kid," Marie said to him. "It's a shame you don't go to Peach Creek Junior High too."

"I need to focus on my... Other education..." Ambrose replied mysteriously. "But yeah, I'd love to see you more often, especially in meeting my friends in my special classes."

"I think we can work our way up to that." Marie replied with a smirk, running her fingers around the length of his arms.

Ambrose chuckled bashfully before cupping his mouth as he let out a laugh that sounded like Goofy.

"You nervous?" Marie teased Ambrose.

"I get nervous a lot around beautiful girls." Ambrose blushed.

"Aww..." Marie cooed at that.

"...I get nervous around beautiful girls too." Eddy said innocently to Angelica.

"I'm sure you do." Angelica giggled at him.

And so, as they kept going, so were Kitty, Vana, Kevin, and Trevor as they were still hunting down the Eds and their friends, though specifically for a certain three, the blood of Eric Needles.


Meanwhile, said no-goodniks had just landed in a swamp, though Nazz got run over by Kevin, Vana, and the bike. Kevin quickly removed his shirt and used it to sponge off his soaked bike, as Vana was eyeing him, and Nazz stormed over.

"How's your bike?!" The blonde girl grumbled.

"Oh, hey Nazz." said Kevin, before he got slapped. "What was that for, man?"

"It's late and I'm cold." Nazz snarled through her teeth.

"So?" asked Vana.

Nazz and Kevin stared at each other for a few seconds. Finally, Nazz relented. "Fine. I'll make the fire." she growled, stomping off.

Kevin smiled. "Sweet," he replied as he slapped a mosquito away from Vana's head. "You good, Vee? Those bugs didn't get'cha or nuthin', did they?"

"I'm positively perfect, Kevin," Vana grinned angelically. "You're so sweet."

Nazz growled a bit as she turned red with rage and anger.

"That's some cold atmosphere, mate." Trevor commented.

"Get out of my face!" Nazz glared as she shoved him away, rather violently.

Eventually, Nazz rubbed two sticks together and began to make the fire before she smacked the two sticks on the kindling. Nothing seemed to happen, so she then threw the two sticks onto the kindling. After a moment, the wood erupted into flame and Nazz soon took that time to warm up.

"Fire! Thank goodness." Kitty sighed in relief.

"Wicked fire, Nazz," Kevin said to the blonde girl. "Can we join you?"

Nazz decided to ignore him as Kitty, Trevor, and Vana went to warm up by the fire themselves.

"Um, I got a peanut butter sandwich," Kevin offered to Nazz. "I'll split it with ya."

Nazz grabbed the whole sandwich and scarfed it down as Kevin's stomach rumbled and he went to move closer to Nazz, though mostly closer next to Vana.

"Where were you raised, a barn?" Vana scoffed at Nazz.

"Where were you raised, a Petty Princess Jerkface Factory?" Nazz retorted.

"Whoa! Little hippie girl's got some chops on her now!" Vana huffed.

"Kev? Sorry I slapped you. It's been like such a crazy day today," said Nazz. "And having her around hasn't helped." she pointed at Vana.

"No foolin'?"

"No foolin'."

"Wait, don't move!" Kevin told Nazz, and he left to get something.

Nazz waited, anticipating a gift.

"Almost left her out in the cold," Kevin stated, wheeling his bike over and handing Vana a golden bracelet. "Got this for ya, V."

Nazz's face went red and her nostrils began to flare with anger.

"Aww... What's wrong?" Vana smirked at Nazz. "Jealous of me or the bike? If it's the bike, that's very sad. You're more desperate than Kitty."

"Hey!" Kitty pouted.

Nazz soon shoved Kevin away from the bike and Vana before grabbing both of them and ran with them.

"Hey! Put me down!" Vana demanded.

"SHUT UP!" Nazz hissed before she soon threw both Vana and the bike into the swamp before the bike hit a tree and it lodged over there. "THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF YOUR STUPID BIKE!"

"Hey! Get me out of here!" Vana glared at Nazz. "I have connections! I can get you into a lot of trouble!"

"Go ahead! Tell someone! Tell the police for all I care!" Nazz glared back. "I AM SICK OF YOU AND THAT BIKE THAT YOU CAN JUST STAY IN THERE WHILE I'LL BE THERE LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!" she then suddenly stormed off.

"What a woman!" Trevor grinned as he looked like he was in love. "Now if only I knew her name~"

Kevin blinked. "...I just don't get her, man." he shrugged as he went off to go help Vana out of the swamp. "I am SO sorry about that; I don't understand what got into Nazz."

"I don't know either," Vana pouted innocently. "I was just having a little fun with her."

"Are you okay though?" Kevin asked.

"Great now that you're here." Vana grinned as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.

Kevin chuckled. "At least you understand me."

Kitty soon looked annoyed in the background.

"Can you believe what that blonde girl did to me, Kitty?" Vana complained. "What did I ever do to her? You'd never do that to me, would you?"

"...I wouldn't mind it." Kitty mumbled to herself.

"What was that?" asked Vana.

"Nothing!" Kitty replied.


MEANWHILE...

The group was walking through a field as fireflies flitted about.

"So these are fireflies, huh?" asked Candy. "A little different from what I expected, but I like them."

"They don't have fireflies in... Uh... Where you're from?" Jenny asked Candy.

"At least not that I've seen," Candy replied. "They look very pretty though."

"Look! Alien spaceships are attacking!" Ed smirked playfully.

"Very funny, Ed." Eddy rolled his eyes.

"These nocturnal luminescent beetles will help shed light on our journey." Double D smiled as he took out a jar to catch the fireflies with.

"Fancy bug butts, I must say." Ed said before suddenly yawning.

"So these things know where my bro lives?" Eddy asked as he tapped the jar before yawning himself.

"Hardly. Oh, pardon me," Double D replied as even he began to yawn. "But they can help us find a safe place to rest for the night."

"That would be nice," Zofia said. "Seems like we've been walking for days."

"Climb in, everyone," Professor Byrd told the others as he flew the Skyvan over to the group, and they subsequently climbed inside.

"We passed a motel a ways back," said Eddy with a yawn. "We coulda stopped there."

"Motels cost money, Eddy," Double-D yawned. "Excuse me. Have you any money, Eddy?"

After a yawn, Eddy responded. "I would if that stupid scam worked."

"Look, we can hash money troubles out later," Ed yawned. "Let's let the prof stop for the night, and get some shut-eye, huh?"

"As long as you don't ask those questions like you used to." Eddy mumbled.

"You mean about if my feet smell and how if they don't have a nose?" Ed rolled his eyes. "What am I, some kinda idiot?"

"Good..." Eddy nodded before yawning and turning over. "Night."

"Yeah, night." Ed replied as he decided to sleep on his own side.

Everyone else soon gathered around and went to get ready for some sleep as well.

"I know it's not home, but it's comfy, right?" LJ asked Zofia.

"I suppose so," Zofia sighed. "I just don't wanna worry myself sick again."

"You're gonna be fine," LJ told her. "Now get'cherself some shut-eye, eh?" he yawned.

Zofia yawned and nodded. "Sure, Brother."

LJ smiled as he helped her get comfortable.

"No more nightmares. No more nightmares. No more nightmares." Jane begged herself.

"Relax, kid," Dorian said to her. "If anything happens, I'll be here for ya. I'll be your dad tonight."

"My dad: the cat," Jane smirked as that distracted her worries into amusement. "That sounds like a sitcom from The Netherworld."

"It could be good," Dorian yawned, as he dozed off. "The key... Is marketing..."

Jane giggled as she picked up Dorian and set him on her stomach as she began to scratch and pet him before she drifted off to sleep with her brother and their friends. Luckily for the group, it was a very sleepy evening and everyone fell asleep and began to dream.


The next day, Kevin, Vana, and the others were pushing Kevin's bike through a field. Nazz hadn't been seen since last night, so they went on without her.

"We gotta keep going... Gotta find Eric..." Vana grunted.

"And those dorks!" Kevin added.

Kitty and Trevor looked around with Kevin and Vana, though it seemed hopeless.

"Oh, what's the use?" Kevin groaned as he gave up. "Probably getting back at me. For what, I don't know."

"Aw, come on, you don't need that blondie," Vana said to him. "You're better off."

"Yeah, I guess... Ugh, let me get this..." Kevin soon said once he saw a speck of mud on his bike and tried to clean it before his eyes widened as he saw something. "Eddy?"

The figure soon jumped over and came to a rock as a hiding place.

"EDDY!" Kevin glared as he soon came back on his bike to chase after Eddy. "Time's up, Dorko!"

"Wait up! He might have Eric with him!" Vana called out as she, Trevor, and Kitty followed after.

However, "Eddy" was shown to be just a doll that of the young scammer made by Lee herself, though Kevin body-slammed on top of the doll before he saw that it was just a doll and the bike soon slammed into a concrete barrier and was crumbled into a complete wreck.

"So much for your ride, huh, tough guy?" Lee mocked as he and May appeared.

"NOOOO!" Kevin panicked.

"What?" Vana asked him. "What is it?!"

"Kankers!" Kevin cried out like that was a fate worse than death.

"You wanna go against my new best friend?" Trevor threatened Lee as he stomped towards her. "I'll go right up your nose!"

"Whoa! You'd hit a girl?" Kitty asked Trevor.

Trevor suddenly stopped as he glanced at Lee unbelievably. "That's a girl?"

Lee picked up May and smacked Trevor and Kitty aside before May crammed them into a bag. "Another one bites the dust!" she chuckled.


Some time passed for the Eds and the others as they were still all sound asleep.

LJ tossed and turned slightly as he began to remember his and Zofia's brief visit to Auradon Prep to see Felicity and her friends as they had a fun day with a scavenger hunt, but also something very important which was Celia's fortune and it seemed to echo in his head for some reason.

"You can trust me," Celia warned as she shuffled her tarot cards. "I've got friends on the other side."

LJ shot awake, sweating bullets. "Whoa... Talk about cryptic..." he panted.

Just then, Ed's stomach grumbled and gurgled; the owner of said stomach was tossing and turning in his sleep.

"It's an earthquake!" Candy panicked. "It's an earthquake!"

The others began to look nervous.

"Nah, Candy, it's just your boyfriend's stomach." Kimiko smirked.

"Oh..." Candy said, blushing bashfully then.

"Maybe we should get some breakfast before we keep going," Zofia said with a yawn. "I'd give for Mother's cheesy scrambled eggs."

"Sure," LJ replied. "As long as we could find somewhere to eat..."

"I'm afraid we haven't any food, guys." Double D frowned.

"Food for Ed! Eat now! Ed hungry!" Ed panicked, beginning to act like his old self. "Eddy, belly sad! Breakfast for Ed, Eddy!"

"Ed, relax, you're going savage!" Candy cried out to her boyfriend.

"Breakfast? I'm in!" Eddy grinned eagerly.

"Wait! Where are we going?" Double D asked.

"Thataboy! Find me an omelet, Ed! And some bacon!" Eddy grinned as Ed was about to run off somewhere that was an edge.

"WAAAAAIT!" Jane cried out as she used her magic to bring them back over before they fell from a cliff. "Phew... That was close. Surely there's a more constructive way to find food."

"I believe I saw a gas station on the way over here before we stopped for the night." Zofia spoke up.

"Gas station it is! Let's go!" Eric suggested.


They soon went to a local gas station called "Corner Gas" which appeared to be not open yet.

"We may as well stop and get supplies," LJ told the others. "We're almost there."

"How do we get in though?" Zofia asked. "The door's locked."

Jane pulled a hairpin out of her hair and soon used it to trick the lock and they were inside.

Behind the front desk, there appeared to be comic books on one side with a crossword puzzle on the other side by the cash register.

There was also a mark that read: "HANK WUZ HEER" as they looked around to look for snack foods and supplies to continue their adventure.

"I think I smell food from next door... Either that or I'm hallucinating." Kimiko said.

"If you smell food, why didn't you say something before?" Eddy glared.

"No arguing," Jenny replied. "Besides, we don't have any money to buy some if we end up going to the Café or whatever it is."

"Alright, now to make ourselves untraceable." LJ said and he snapped both sets of fingers, which shut off the security cams for 10 minutes.

Martin brought out a random shopping cart and they began to load it up.

"I feel like we're almost there." Zofia said to the others.

"Me too," LJ replied. "Especially from my dream."

"Dream about being QuadStar again?" Zofia guessed.

"Heh... He had a mission with Atomic Betty and Duck Dodgers," LJ chuckled. "But no, I saw that Facilier girl who goes to school with Felicity like when she gave me my own fortune when we visited for that Scavenger Hunt."

"Really?" asked Zofia.

"Yeah," LJ nodded as he continued to put things into the cart. "I must've had that for a reason..."

"Well, considering who Celia's father is, I'd heed that warning," Zofia advised. "You remember Mother's story about him."

"Yeah, one of the darker Disney Villains and was pretty accurate with his fortunes and coming with a price," LJ nodded from memory. "I guess she was trying to contact me somehow."

"It would be helpful if we could contact her back, maybe she saw more in her vision than what she told you." Zofia then said.

"Well, I'm not sure how we could do that." LJ replied.

"Well, I tried." Zofia shrugged.

"And I respect you for that." LJ replied.

Jenny grinned as she found some candy and stuffed her pockets with it.

"What're those, Jujubombs?" Martin asked. "I thought they discontinued those back in the 90's."

"Either way, they're all mine." Jenny replied.

"Yeah, sure; now let's get a move on," Martin replied. "The others are still in the van waiting and I think I see an amusement park a few blocks from here."

"An amusement park? Righteous!" Jenny grinned.


The Mazinsky twins soon rushed over to the van as everyone else got settled while waiting for their friends.

"You're sure you don't mind going to some dumb school dance?" Ambrose asked Marie bashfully. "It's really okay if you don't want to."

"Really, it's okay," Marie told him. "I'd only mind if I had to go with my sisters and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna detach myself from them once we get back home after taking Eddy to his brother."

Ambrose smiled bashfully.

"Brose, stop doubting yourself," Zofia smirked. "The blue girl clearly likes ya."

"Yeah, not like we gotta knock the message into your head over and over," LJ replied as he left some money on the counter and got into the van. "Anyone with eyes can see the obvious truth here!"

Once they all made it in the van, the doors shut and they soon rode off while eating the food that they had.

"Look out, out there's the cops!" Angelica warned.

They soon rode by, passing by a police car with two officers who looked like they were on duty, though they seemed to be focused on something else.

"Okay, Karen, my turn," The male officer smiled. "I spy with my little eye something red."

"Is it the Ruby Café sign?" The female officer rolled her eyes.

"Dangit, you always get that one!" The male officer complained.

"Try expanding your little eye, Davis." The female officer scoffed.

"I don't think they saw us," Ambrose said to the others. "Let's eat up though. We don't wanna look sickly when we see Eddy's brother."

"Right, right." LJ replied as they started to tuck into their food.

The van kept riding along before they came just outside of the amusement park.
