Infinity Train: Book Two: Return to the Beach City Car
Chapter 5: The Parasite Car
Continuing onward with the journey, Tulip, Atticus, One-One, Pink Steven, M.T., Jesse, and Atticus were walking across the catwalk toward another car.
"Oh, do you know my reflection?", Jesse asked.
"We don't all know each other.", M.T. responded.
"But if you did...", Jesse began.
"We don't.", M.T. reiterated as Alan Dracula walked around in a small size while she turned the knob of the door before he suddenly grew big just underneath Jesse and ran back, taking Jesse with him.
"Wha!", Jesse exclaimed in surprise.
"Alan Dracula!", M.T. spoke.
"Silly dear. That's not the way to enter the car.", Glad One commented.
"Alan, what is with you today?", Jesse asked as Alan Dracula brayed a bit.
"What's with him every day?", M.T. added.
"Maybe he's either sensed some danger inside this car, or he's simply exhausting his excess energy to relax himself.", Atticus guessed.
"My money's on danger.", Sad One spoke before the group soon found themselves in the spring season car as it showed a lush area of beautiful flowers as far as the eye could see as well as rain clouds letting rain fall down and quickly birthing more flowers on the ground.
"Wow.", M.T. spoke in wonder.
"Whoa.", Jesse spoke at the same time.
"Your money's on danger, huh, One-One?", the pink monster girl smirked.
"Well, I could be wrong.", Sad One responded.
"Whatever you say, buddy.", Pink Steven responded, picking up One-One.
"Do reflections go to the bathroom?", Jesse asked, embarrassing M.T.
"Okay! Question time's over.", M.T. responded quickly as she blushed and walked faster.
"All right, all right, all right. Then what about singing time?", Jesse asked.
"All right, but only if I get to start it off.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Well, in that case, hit it, Steven!", Jesse spoke.
"A-one, and a-two, and a-one, two, three, four!", Steven spoke before he sang as did Jesse, M.T., and Glad One.
Pink Steven: Travel friends
Traveling across every bend
Jesse: Travel friends
They're friends
to the very end
M.T.: Travel friends
There's no rhythm in this song
which makes it very, very dumb
Jesse: Easy
The group then laughed before Atticus sang next.
Atticus: Brought together by the majesty
of a superpowered deer
"Take it, A.D.!", Jesse spoke before Alan Dracula then sneezed on Jesse's legs, freezing them in ice as M.T. was lucky to move her legs out of freezing range.
"Ugh! Alan Dracula!", Jesse exclaimed before trying to break the ice himself as M.T. laughed.
"I heard about getting the common cold, but this is ridiculous!", Glad One spoke before laughing as well.
"All right, we can all agree that it's a little bit funny. But can you get the ice off him, please?", Pink Steven asked.
"Sure. No problem.", M.T. assured before she then karate-chopped the ice, causing the ice to crack and break apart, freeing Jesse, albeit leaving him hopping around.
"Ah! Cold feet! Ooh! Cold, cold, cold, cold!", Jesse exclaimed as he hopped around.
"Just try to walk it off, Jesse.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Oh, poor little superpowered deer. Don't sniff those, okay?", M.T. advised before laughing a bit as Alan Dracula scratched himself and M.T. stroked him gently.
"Maybe he's allergic to the pollen in those flowers.", Tulip guessed.
"Yeah. That might've been what made him sneeze.", Pink Steven concurred.
"And let this be a warning for you passengers. If you're allergic to pollenated flowers, I wouldn't recommend sniffing them.", Sad One spoke before later, the group travelled down the hill in a field of flowers.
"Let's say your Prime dies. Tulip is gone...Got in a bad Jet-Ski accident or was eaten by a seal or something.", Jesse spoke to M.T.
"What? I don't jet-ski. And I certainly don't mess around with seals, either.", Tulip commented.
"Just got the sake of argument, Tulip. Anyway, M.T., do you reflect her body?", Jesse responded.
"Mm. No. Once a Prime dies, the Flecs make you choose if you want to have your memories erased and reflect a new Prime, or keep your memories but become a Flec to 'protect and enforce the barrier.'", M.T. responded.
"But you're not doing either.", Jesse spoke.
"No. Both options are stupid.", M.T. spoke.
"Hmm. Yeah, so, um, if someone, not me, practices kissing in a mirror, can their reflection
see them doing it? A-again, not me. Someone else, different person. Did I say 'not me'?", Jesse spoke as Pink Steven couldn't help but grin a bit.
"Yes. Like, a few times, now.", Pink Steven spoke before Jesse looked down to notice that he stepped in the mud.
"Hm? Ew. Aw, ugh.", Jesse spoke, trying to shake the mud off his foot.
"Looks pretty deep.", M.T. commented.
"Think Alan Dracula would let us ride him across?", Jesse asked.
"Not likely.", Atticus responded before M.T. went over to a flower and climbed up across it, puzzling Jesse and causing it to bend down near Alan Dracula.
"Come on, Casanova!", M.T. urged.
"Hey! I said it was someone else!", Jesse exclaimed before M.T. laughed.
"So, do you think you can get us across the mud, Tulip?", Pink Steven asked.
"I think so. I don't mind getting any mud on me the way I am now. I just hope that in the next car we get in, I can take a shower to get all that gunk off after that.", Tulip responded.
"It could be a shower car. Oh! Or maybe even a fun water park car.", Glad One spoke.
"Or just a stale shower car.", Sad One added.
"Well, here's hoping it's at least one of those.", Pink Steven responded before he picked up Atticus and One-One before jumping up toward Tulip, who then crouched down on all fours and started walking across the mud.
"Coming in for a landing, Alan Dracula!", M.T. spoke before he and Jesse landed on Alan Dracula's back and laughed only for the deer to suddenly split, causing M.T. and Jesse to land in the mud.
"Thanks. Much appreciated.", M.T. spoke sarcastically as Jesse sniffed the mud a bit.
"Hey, at least the mud feels good on your skin.", Tulip commented.
"That reminds me of the time we went into a spa car once on our last venture. The mud bath seemed unnecessary, but it certainly helped us relax.", Atticus spoke up.
"And the steam bath wasn't too bad, either.", Tulip added.
"Ah! Is it too much to ask for a regular door?", M.T. groaned as Alan Dracula raised his body temperature to solidify and break off the mud.
"Alan Dracula, be useful for once and laser away
those vines.", Jesse requested.
"Watch... they'll just explode into more mud.", M.T. scoffed before Alan Dracula instead lasered away the vines with his purple laser eyes as Jesse requested.
"That's more like it, Alan Dracula!", Jesse grinned.
"Hey, wow. Thank you. I think you guys are pretty good, too.", Alan Dracula suddenly spoke with a sort of small, green creature inside.
"Whoa!", the group exclaimed as Atticus gasped.
"You can talk?", Tulip, M.T., Pink Steven, Atticus, and Glad One spoke in surprise.
"You can talk!", Jesse exclaimed.
"Well, um, yeah, you bet. Another one of my amazing superpowers, I guess, or magic or science. You know, one of those things.", the deer fibbed nervously.
"Yeah, yeah, checks out.", Jesse spoke.
"No, it doesn't.", M.T. retorted.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with M.T. on this. If he actually could talk, he would've done it sooner.", Pink Steven concurred.
"Hey, what's in your mouth?", M.T. asked before Alan Dracula opened his mouth to properly show said small, green creature living there before the creature itself spoke.
"Hello, hi. Nice to meet you. Hopped aboard your deer pal back in the mud.", the creature spoke.
"Out of the mouth, parasite. Now!", M.T. exclaimed before the creature only made the deer close his mouth with a few silver bars while his body turned to bricks, surprising M.T.
"Hey! What's with the name-calling? You want to call me a name, how about Perry? You'd like that,
right, Perry? That's cute. I'm cute.", Perry spoke as he then caused the deer to shapeshifter into a furry "Perry" word with legs, antlers, two cute eyes, and a mouth.
"Saying you're cute doesn't make you cute.", M.T. commented.
"Yeah, parasite!", Jesse agreed.
"Ow, that's such a harsh label. I'm a symbiotic creature. I help and hang out like those little birds who clean crocodile teeth. You don't call them
parasites.", Perry spoke as the P became a crocodile with an open mouth with a bird inside it.
"Mainly because they're practically dentists in the animal kingdom, and I should know, because I saw that kind of thing before in one of my ventures outside Corginia.", Atticus commented before Perry then caused the deer to morph back to normal.
"And, hey, check this out. I'm practical. Remember when I zapped away those vines? Your deer pal Alvin would have never done that.", Perry spoke.
"Actually, it's Alan. Alan Dracula.", Tulip corrected in retorsion.
"You're not really good with other people's names, are you?", Pink Steven asked.
"Apparently not, Stephen. Anyway, Jesse, was it? I'll never sneeze your feet into ice and you can ride me like a horsey all day long. Convenient, right?", Perry spoke as he made the deer morph to make it look like M.T. and Jesse were riding him as an example.
"But I thought you came from the mud. How do you know about all that? And why didn't you go after me?", Tulip puzzled.
"Well, I would've went for you, but there was too much major mumbo-jumbo going on with you. And besides, you're fine the way you are. Also, this deer was the next best thing that I can handle. Speaking of which, I can read this guy's mind, and let me tell you...he likes you both very much...", Perry spoke before projecting a heart-shaped thought bubble with the deer's eyes to show Tulip climbing up the tree alongside Alan Dracula with Pink Steven, Atticus, and One-One on top of her while M.T. and Jesse were resting on top of Alan Dracula's antlers before then showing grass inside the bubble.
"...almost as much as grass, which seems to occupy every other waking thought.", Perry continued.
"That actually checks out.", Jesse spoke.
"Figures. Maybe all he needed was a little motivation in the form of grass.", Pink Steven guessed.
"So Alan can still think for himself?", Pink Steven asked.
"Oh, sure, old antler-head loves this new setup. We're like brain roommates.", Perry assured as he made the deer's head form a house below the face.
"M.T., having an Alan Dracula who actually listens to us might not be such a bad thing.", Jesse commented.
"I'm not so sure about that.", Atticus commented.
"Hey. Welcome to my world.", Sad One responded.
"As long as it's not hurting him.", M.T. responded.
"Hey. That's what I was gonna say.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Oh, wow, gosh. I would never.", Perry responded before taking a deep breath and then blowing out a big gust of wind like a blow dryer, getting the mud off of Tulip, M.T., and Jesse before the mud was removed.
"Whoa.", the group spoke in awe.
"Now let's get this boy's number down.", Perry spoke before he suddenly grew a green, full-sized hans from where his hoof was.
"Ugh.", Atticus shivered uneasily.
"Uh...", Tulip, M.T., and Jesse spoke, perplexed.
"Okay, what the heck?!", Pink Steven exclaimed before Perry then turned the knob and then opened it.
"After you. See, that's polite. I'm polite.", Perry spoke as the group walked out.
"Please never turn your hoof into an adult human hand again.", M.T. spoke with a queasy look.
"Do you think that next time, you could use a small baby human hand?", Glad One asked.
"Down low, APD!", Jesse spoke while high-giving him.
"Anyone else feel a song coming on?", Perry spoke as he lifted Jesse up, making him laugh a bit in joy before singing.
Perry: Travel friends
They once were three but now they're four
The travel friends are so much more
"Let's bring it home, Jesse.", Perry spoke as he then stood up on two legs before Jesse sang the big finish.
Jesse: Travel fri-e-e-e-e-nds
Then, Perry and Jesse laughed before the latter turned back.
"Hey, M...", Jesse spoke before noticing how dismal and worried M.T. and Pink Steven looked and went over to her.
"Hey. I know this is weird, but maybe we can give Perry a shot.", Jesse suggested.
"I don't trust him.", M.T. responded.
"Me neither. Something seems a bit unsettling with Perry.", Tulip added.
"Yeah, well, you didn't trust me at first, either, but look at us now.", Jesse spoke.
"Yeah, but this is a whole other thing, Jesse. In spite of the things you did back home, you seem like a good guy. Perry, on the other hand...", Pink Steven spoke, gesturing to Perry, who was singing.
Perry: Tardy friends, Bow-bow-ba-bow
They're tardy 'till the very end
"Who knows what he did before he met us? And he's a denizen.", Pink Steven added.
"Aren't we all?", Sad One added.
"Hey, does Alan seem bigger to you?", M.T. asked.
"Hmm. Maybe?", Jesse guessed.
"It might be because of his ears.", Atticus commented, gesturing to the bat-like ears on Alan Dracula.
"No way am I bigger. We're outside, and I just look
bigger because of the big train.", Perry responded as the big ears then shrunk to normal.
"That's not how perspective works.", M.T. retorted.
"Sure, it is.", Perry responded before then turning his hoof into a baby human hand.
"Aw!", Jesse cooed a bit.
"Aw, look at how cute that hand is.", Glad One spoke.
"Stop doing that.", M.T. snapped a bit.
"But you said no adult hands.", Perry responded as he opened the entry door.
"Gah, Baby hands are worse. Put that away.
Ugh!", M.T. groaned in disgust, avoiding it as she entered before Jesse and the others followed with Perry entering last.
"I thought it looks cute.", Glad One commented.
"But then again, we don't know where you even found that hand. And I'm pretty sure we don't want to.", Sad One added before Jesse laughed.
"Ah, baby hands.", Jesse sighed before the entry door closed and the group was now met with a sort of fashion designer wearing fashion clothes.
"The judges are getting restless!", the designer spoke.
"And you are?", Tulip puzzled before the designer laughed.
"I'm Sashay, baby. I'm head honchess here
at Sashay's Runway Fairway. If you don't hit the exit runway pronto, the judges are going to wig out. Pun very much intended.", Sashay spoke.
"Exit runway?", Jesse spoke before Sashay raised her foot midway and advanced.
"Yes, darling. The only way out of here is to dress to impress with finesse. Oh, and do this.", Sashay spoke before then turning on the boombox to start the music and start with a walk before then turning back around and then back again, using her arms to do waves and then doing the splits.
"Ta-da!", Sashay spoke.
"Uh...", the group puzzled.
"Okay, I'm not sure I can do the splits, but I can do everything else. Most of those moves are similar to how Garnet dances sometimes, anyway.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Seems easy enough.", Perry agreed.
"Tut-tut! We can't keep those judges waiting.", Sashay spoke as she ushered them to the stage.
"Okay, this, I gotta see.", Tulip smirked.
Later, the Runway Fairway was getting started as the lights went on and then went over to Sashay.
"It's time for Sashay's Runway Fairway. Give it up for our first contestant. You won't believe
what you'll Jes-see!", Sashay spoke as the crowd cheered before Jesse stepped up, wearing a wig and dress, the former of which slipped a little before Tulip, who was watching from the curtains, snickered, trying not to laugh as did Glad One before Jesse then did almost the exact moves that Sashay showed him.
"Judges?", Sashay asked before the judges then raised their cards to each show 9.
"Lucky number 9, looking fine. Round that up to a 10, and you're a winner, darling. You may exit.", Sashay assured before the security guard then opened the velvet rope to allow entry toward the exit.
"Hope you didn't fill up because this tank's running on M.T.!", Sashay spoke before it showed M.T. wearing a blue pigtailed wig with a small dress and wings before M.T. blew a bang away from her line of vision and walked forward, barely making any waves with her arms before the judges raised their cards to each show 8.
"Avant-garde? More like avant-great! You may exit.", Sashay spoke before M.T. threw out her wig.

"And up next is a beast so gigantic that only her beauty that not only equals her massive size, but can also guarantee that she can bounce back from any obstacle that dares to obstruct her! Give it up for Tulip!", Sashay shouted in a sort of boxing announcer tone before Tulip's eyes glowed dark purple for the sclerae and bright pearl for her pupils, giving her the cue to roar, firing massive shockwaves, taking the audience aback, even Jesse and M.T.
"What the heck's gotten into her?!", M.T. exclaimed.
"I don't know! Maybe it's part of her routine!", Jesse exclaimed before Tulip then ceased her roar, her eyes changing back to white for sclerae and normal pink for her eyes, and then created pink shades similar to Garnet's with a cool smile.
"You ready for this?", Tulip asked before she then walked across the runway as people watched with fright now turned to awe as she crouched back and went into ball form before bouncing up and down, even bouncing from one place to another before hopping up and then landing at the front of the runway, unrolling back into humanoid form before then doing waves with her arms and then do the splits as best she can at first before then starting to keep her legs aloft while dancing with her hands on the runway before spinning up until she was now sideways on the runway, facing the crowd.
"Ta-da!", Tulip grinned.
"Aw, dang! Such an unorthodox method of entrance gave you a thousand points each! Isn't that monster gorgeous? You may exit.", Sashay spoke in excitement.
"Uh, thanks.", Tulip spoke with a slight grin as she then took her leave.
"That was awesome, Tulip!", Jesse commented.
"Yeah. I really had you guys there, didn't I?", Tulip smirked.
"Yeah, but can you try not scaring us like that next time?", M.T. asked.
"Okay.", Tulip responded.
"And now, for our next contestants. They're both leaders in their own rights with one hailing all the way from Corginia and the other, a creator. And now, without further ado, let me introduce you to King Atticus and One-One, people!", Sashay spoke before Atticus and One-One stepped up to the runway as cool as they can be with the former dressed up in his corgi-sized tuxedo while Glad One is wearing a top hat and Sad One is wearing a wedding dress before the two Ones partied like a couple of kids at a school dance party while Atticus did the Egyptian dog (a canine version of the Egyptian) and did a back flip before landing gracefully as Glad One dipped Sad One, even coming back together.
"Now, that is a great combo. It even gave you a grand total of 3,000 points as well. Nice work with the classics. You two may exit.", Sashay spoke.
"Thank you.", Atticus thanked as he and One-One left.
"And this contestant is a bona fide dazzler with a talent for making even the brightest stars glow brighter! Hope you're ready for the Big Dipper of the runway: Steven Universe!", Sashay shouted before Steven, in his tuxedo from when he and Greg went to Empire City, then stepped across the runway and then turned around, creating a bubble for him before he turned back around and then waved his arms around as Sashay showed him, even making smaller bubbles appear around him, leaving the audience in awe before Steven started doing the splits only to go up into the air in his bubble, which then became spikey, and then turned all geometric before he detonated the geometric bubble, causing a shockwave that caused the smaller bubbles to explode in a sparkling, wonderful fashion, astonishing the audience before Pink Steven took a bow while the judges raised their cards to show 500,000 with "50" on one card, "0,0" on another, "and "00" for the third.
"Wow! An interstellar 5 grand! Now, that's the best score I ever saw! You may exit.", Sashay spoke before Pink Steven walked away.
"Thanks, Sashay.", Pink Steven grinned.
"So, how was it, Steven?", Tulip asked.
"It was great. For the first time since I got more diamond powers, I feel like I can actually control them.", Pink Steven grinned.
"That's great, Steven.", Tulip grinned.
"Isn't it?", Pink Steven responded excitedly.
"Don't stake our final contestant in the heart before he steals yours. It's Alan Dracula!", Sashay introduces before Perry stepped up, wearing bling on his antlers, a wig, lipstick, shoes with heels, a dress complete with a flower, and an apparent back-up dress before Perry took five steps took off the dress, revealing said back-up dress before dancing, only for Alan Dracula to try to come out, causing a whiplash that pushed Perry back a bit before he went on all fours, got coated in flames, turned into electricity, and then slime before then reforming back to normal, laughing a bit, and then taking a bow as flowers were tossed out toward the runway.
End 2Unlimited Music: "Ready 4 This"
"Oh, oh, oh!", Jesse exclaimed excitedly.
"Whoa.", M.T. spoke before the judges raised the cards to show a total of 1,000,000.
"Hole in 1 million, baby! I couldn't have done it
better myself. You may all exit!", Sashay spoke before the exit door opened.
Outside the car, M.T. has thoughts.
"Whoa. I can't believe I'm saying this, but nice work in there.", M.T. spoke, trying to stroke him, only for Perry to stop her.
"Hey, hey, hey! How about a little personal space?", Perry spoke.
"But I thought Alan Dracula liked that.", M.T. puzzled.
"Well, you know, people change.", Perry spoke.
"Yeah, but not that fast.", Pink Steven responded.
"What's going on here, Perry? Are you hiding something from us?", Tulip asked suspiciously.
"Uh..., hey, check out this new door.", Perry spoke, turning to the door and opening it with a human hand.
"Hey! No dodging the question.", Tulip spoke.
"Look, ma, no baby hands.", Perry spoke before the group entered the car to notice a literal food pyramid.
"Who's hungry for adventure?", Perry asked.
"Me! I'm also hungry for real food!", Jesse responded.
"Do you think you can even fit in there, Tulip?", Pink Steven asked.
"Yeah. I can shrink down a bit to get roomy.", Tulip responded before shrinking down just enough to be able to fit in before she, M.T., Pink Steven, Atticus, One-One, Jesse, and Perry were now in the pyramid.
"Oh, my! Look at all this exotic food!", Glad One spoke in excitement.
"It's just too bad I can't eat any of it.", Sad One sighed.
Then, Perry launched his spinning head toward the chips on the ceiling to cut them off with the antlers before the head retreated back to the body with the chips falling toward the antlers afterwards.
"Complimentary chips and hey! Thick, meaty chili. Meat and chips...great! I'll bet you the old Alden
couldn't do that. Ha, ha!", Perry spoke as he then picked up a chip with pliers from his hoof before dipping it in chili.
"Again, his name is Alan Dracula.", Tulip corrected.
"And again, you're not great with other people's names.", Pink Steven added before Perry then ate the chip with meat on it and walked forward.
"Wait. What are you doing? Alan Dracula is a vegetarian!", Jesse exclaimed.
"Yeah. And he can't eat this.", Pink Steven added.
"Well, I can now. See, I'm growing and changing,
just like you, Stevan.", Perry spoke.
"Close. It's actually. Steven", Pink Steven corrected.
"Yeah, like I said, Stephani...", Perry began before the same thing from earlier in the last car happened again, but this time, his butt was puffing up before it went back down only for his head to puff up only to get flat again before suddenly having a lot dynamite rope on his back, urging Tulip and the others to take cover.
"Everyone take cover!", Pink Steven shouted.
Play Infinity Train Music: "Book 3 Music (Unofficial)"
"This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!", Atticus shouted as Tulip, M.T., Jesse, One-One, and Pink Steven took cover just before Alan Dracula exploded only to regenerate as the smoke cane together before quickly reforming back into Alan Dracula.
"Why are his powers going haywire?", Jesse asked.
"I think Alan Dracula's trying to kick Perry out.", Tulip guessed as Alan Dracula tried to get control back but failed for a time.
"Clearly, he's fighting it off like he's an infection.", Atticus spoke.
"So, you mean he could be in danger?", Pink Steven asked in worry.
"And you're definitely getting bigger.", M.T. pointed to Perry, who was now presently bigger than before.
"Uh, okay, rude. I'm pretty sure I'm the same siiiiize!", Perry exclaimed before he suddenly grew bigger before uncontrollably shaking his head and getting lit up in flames for a second before Alan Dracula's head suddenly lurched our and bleated panickedly, relaying a message that he needs help before the head then went back towards Perry's head, making M.T. gasp in worry.
"Alan doesn't want this!", M.T. exclaimed.
"You have to let him go!", Jesse exclaimed.
"The longer you stay in his body, the worse it'll only get for him!", Pink Steven shouted.
"But you'll be stuck with a deer who doesn't listen to you.", Perry spoke as he was growing again.
"I don't care! At least that's the deer we all know and love.", Atticus retorted.
"Atticus is right. We don't like him because he listens. We like him because he's Alan Dracula!", Jesse agreed before Perry stepped on the cheese, prompting M.T. to dodge it.
"Whoa! Okay, so maybe we both want the same thing: me out of Amblin Dunkula, but maybe I'm
a little stuck here, guys. I could use some help.", Perry urged before the leg tipped down an ice cream sundae staff, spilling it on the floor.
"How fast can you guys get to that flower car?", Jesse asked.
"In my experience, really fast. Get ready to hold my hand, Tulip.", Pink Steven spoke before Tulip nodded and then shrank down a bit before grabbing his hand.
"Ready.", Tulip spoke.
"Good. Then, hold on tight!", Pink Steven shouted before he and Tulip suddenly started going fast, although it seemed normal for both of them as everything else slowed down.
"Heeeelllllp meeee, Jiiiilllles and MD!", Perry spoke in slow motion.
Meanwhile, Pink Steven panted as Tulip held on.
"Whoa. How's everything going so slow?", Tulip puzzled.
"It's one of my diamond powers. It enhances my speed, making everything else go slow.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Wow. You think I can do that?", Tulip puzzled.
"Actually, you're kinda already doing it.", Pink Steven responded.
"I am? This is so cool!", Tulip responded.
"It is, but right now, I think we should focus on getting some flowers that made Alan Dracula sneeze out ice earlier.", Pink Steven spoke.
"Oh, yeah. Right.", Tulip remembered before they stopped at the runway with Sashay in view.
"Hi, Sashay!", Tulip greeted before she and Pink Steven dashed past the runway, leaving the crowd and judges in awe and then went to the flower car before picking some necessary flowers after trekking through the mud.
"Okay. I think those should do the trick.", Tulip spoke.
"Good, then let's make it count!", Pink Steven spoke before he and Tulip dashed out of the flower car and then back to the runway as they stopped.
"Bye, Sashay!", Pink Steven spoke before he and Tulip dashed out, amazing the crowd again before they went back to the food pyramid car just in time to notice Perry in Alan Dracula's body growing big time a point that his head popped out from the top of the pyramid with whipped cream and a cherry now on top of his head.
"Oh, boy! Hey, strong hands. You work out?", Perry asked as meanwhile, Jesse and M.T. were now climbing Alan Dracula's legs as Atticus and One-One watched inside the pyramid.
"You guys okay over there?!", Pink Steven shouted.
"Yeah! We're okay, Steven!", Jesse shouted.
"Did you get the flowers?!", M.T. shouted as she and Jesse went over to the mouth.
"Yeah, M.T.! We got 'em!", Tulip shouted.
"Here!", Pink Steven shouted as he jumped up and tossed the flowers to M.T. and Jesse, who each placed each kind of flower inside each of the deer's nostrils in order to make him sneeze before he started having a reaction.
"Ah...ah...achoo!", Perry sneezed, puffing our the ice before Perry then fell out of Alan Dracula, his bottom now covered in ice, and then landed on the ground near Atticus and One-One before Tulip and Pink Steven caught up in time to see Alan Dracula shrinking back to normal with M.T. and Jesse on top of Alan Dracula's head before the deer split himself, getting M.T. and Jesse off him again before coming back together as the two got back up.
End Infinity Train Music: "Book 3 Music (Unofficial)"
"Welcome back, Alan Dracula.", M.T. spoke, hugging Alan Dracula.
"Sorry we didn't get you out sooner.", Jesse added as he hugged the deer as well.
"Whoa... I'm starting to feel funny.", Tulip stated.
"Really? Funny, how?", Pink Steven asked before Tulip moaned as she then suddenly shrank down to 7.5 feet all while her hair gets cleaner and her horns retract back a little bit, making her look more humane as her tail even got a bit smaller.
"Oh. That funny.", Pink Steven spoke.
"I think she just got smaller.", Glad One spoke.
"Whoa. That...actually felt really good.", Tulip spoke just before Jesse then noticed his number going down to 11.
"Look at that. Alan Dracula got your number down.", M.T. smirked.
"Wait a moment. Try checking your number, Ms. Tulip.", Glad One spoke before Tulip then checked her number to notice that it now reads 750 below the symbol.
"750? Wait, so...if I change when my own number gets down, that means, I'm slowly changing back, too. That means we can save you in no time, Steven.", Tulip realized.
"Really? Th-that's great! Even my diamond powers are getting a bit better to control, so I'd say that's just as well.", Pink Steven grinned.
Then, suddenly, Perry spoke up as he crawled as best he could.
"Wow! Great job, Jimmy. Kind of thanks to me, too, though, right? Now, whose mouth am I hopping in next?", Perry asked.
"Yeah, Sorry, pal, but you're not jumping into any more mouths today. Thanks for your help, though.", Pink Steven spoke before he, Tulip, M.T., Jesse, Alan Dracula, and Atticus started walking out toward the exit as One-One went over to Perry.
"We still like you.", Sad One spoke before walking away.
"Guys, guys! Aw, come on! I spent two years stuck in a succulent! Let me hop in one of your mouths!", Perry urged as Jesse opened the exit door before he, Tulip, M.T., Pink Steven, Atticus, and One-One went through the exit, which then slowly closed in front of Perry before the knob then did a full 180-degree spin.
A/N: So, what did you think? Pretty great, huh? I figured that with One-One involved, they'd take their leave in a similar way Tulip and the others did in Book 1, but on a more funny note for Book 2. :) Also, I have two announcements. For one thing, I may be a bit later than intended for posting a new chapter for "The Seven Deadly Sins: Sin of Vengeance", but it is still coming this week, nonetheless, either tonight or Tuesday at best. :) And secondly, I noticed that Book 3 of Infinity Train is officially coming to HBO Max this August, which is great, except that I don't have HBO Max yet. I'm willing to bet it's gonna be great, though. Until next time. :)
