They arrived at Oakdale's Sports and Games, the shop in the neighborhood that sells sports equipment & all kinds of other things. Some customers were a bit nervous because of a bunch of dinosaurs entering. But Joe's neighbor, Wanda Gilmore, owner of the Oakdale Chronicle, was fascinated to see Barney. "Oh, Barney." she said. "Nice to see you again." "You know him?" said Lori. "Uh-huh." said Wanda. "He is occasionally my dance partner." "You dance?" said Wishbone. "Wow. And I thought your flamingos were weird." "Oh. I see Wishbone is with you." said Wanda. "And I see he has a new friend. Oh dear." "She's always talking about Wishbone messing up her garden." Emily whispered to Lori. "Well I gotta go help Walter with a special something at Pepper Pete's." she said. "Maybe I'll see you there later." Then she sang a special goodbye song.
(The Goodbye Song starts)
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
We won't be gone for long.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
This is our goodbye song.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
We won't be gone for long.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
This is our goodbye song.
After she left, Barney got a basket & went to shop for some things in the store, while the kids went to meet Melina & Marcus Finch, the owner's niece & nephew, who was out preparing some things at Pepper Pete's. "Hi." Lori said. "Oh, hi." Melina said. "I'm Melina, and this is my brother, Marcus." "I think I remember you performing at the summer carnival." said Emily. "It was scary what happened there." "Did you know, Sasha, that I technically saved her life last month?" Wishbone said. "Technically?" said Sasha. "Well I helped Wanda." said Wishbone. "Wow. You're a hero." said Sasha. "Just like Aladdin." said Wishbone.
