Ed, who had been chilling inside the jet, ventured outside to see what Ursula was doing. She had been inside the Drake's house for a long time. He came close to the house and heard Ursula's hysterical shrieks of laughter.

What's so funny? Ed thought as he approached the house. He crept to a living room window and peeked inside. He was shocked at what he saw.

Ursula was tied down on a lounge chair while Zoe dug into her armpits, tickling her mercilessly as the two boys watched in fascination. She was ballistic with laughter, tears streaming down her crimson face.

Ed felt bad for her, but he chose not to interfere. He knew Ursula would kick his butt for not helping her, but he didn't want to end up like her! He was afraid that barging into the house would only win him the same treatment. So, Ed went back inside the jet to wait.

Meanwhile, in the living room, the tickle torture continued. Zoe went for Ursula's ribs, scribbling her ten fingers on them. She attacked Ursula's sides, squeezing and kneading them in her hands. She even tickled Ursula's tummy and belly button.

"OOOOOOHH HEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP TICKLING ME!" Ursula begged, almost at her limit.

"Give her a rest, Zoe. She can't tell us anything if she passes out."

Zoe stopped, but remained hoisted over her exhausted victim, ready and eager to inflict more tickles.

Ursula caught her breath, still giggling as she calmed herself down.

"Hey, I just thought of something," Rex told his friends. "If the Alpha Gang's jet is still here, then how did Zander get away with Reese so fast?"

"You're right," Max replied. "He would have needed transportation."

"Yeah, that would make sense," Zoe agreed.

"Max, check to see if Reese's car is still here. That might give us a clue."

Max checked, and he returned seconds later. "Her car is gone!"

Now Zoe was even more puzzled. If Reese's car was gone, that almost implied she left willingly.

"She went on a date with Zander. They took her car. I don't know where they went, but they should be back any minute."

The D-Team exchanged glances. They looked at the clock and realized they had been torturing Ursula for more than an hour.

Rex put a comforting hand on Zoe's shoulder. "Maybe she is telling the truth, Zoe."

Zoe sighed and went to sit on the couch. "I just can't believe Reese would actually go out with that guy."

"Hey, it's not the end of the world," Max said, trying to make her feel better. "She's probably not even serious about him."

Zoe shuddered at the thought.

"This place is a mess. Did something happen I should know about?" spoke a feminine, monotone voice.

Everybody whirled around, and then gasped in joy.

"Reese!" Zoe cried happily, running to hug her sister.

Reese stood framed in the doorway, her violet eyes and blond hair glowing in the sunlight. Zander was right by her side, looking slightly uncomfortable upon seeing the children.

"Eww, Reese, why are you holding hands with that creep?" Zoe asked in disgust.

The D-Team was shocked to see Reese and Zander grasping hands.

"Zoe, what have you been doing in here?" Reese asked.

"We were worried sick about you!" Zoe explained, frustrated. "We thought the Alpha Gang did something terrible to you. We were afraid that Zander kidnapped you, and then –"

"Wait a minute," Reese held up a hand to hush her sister. "Why did you think I had been kidnapped?"

"Because the Alpha Gang came, and then you disappeared, and we found the old lady messing around in your room…"

"I am NOT old!" Ursula screeched.

Reese glanced at Zander and smiled. "Zoe, I told you that I had a date this afternoon."

"Uh, no, you didn't."

"Yes, I did," Reese insisted. "Sometimes, Zoe, I think you only hear what you want to hear."

Zander gently kissed Reese's slim hand.

Zoe fell speechless.

"Ummm, hello?! I'm still a little tied up over here!" Ursula shouted from the lounge chair.

"Zoe tickled Ursula to make her tell us where you were," Max explained sheepishly.

"She's super ticklish under the arms, and pretty much everywhere else," Rex said, smirking.

Reese's eyes widened. "Oh my."

"Ursula, are you alright?" Zander rushed over and untied his colleague as fast as he could.

"Do I look alright?" she growled, flushing red from anger and humiliation.

Zander gulped, fearing what she would do to him. "Let's just get you home. Come on, Ursula."

"Let me at her! LET ME AT HER! That brat is gonna pay for what she did to me!" Ursula ranted as she advanced towards Zoe, trying to attack her.

"Ursula, no, it's time to go!" Zander grabbed her around the waist, preventing her from beating up Zoe.

"Let me go, Zander! I have to kill that brat! LET GO!"

Zander carried Ursula out the door, kicking and screaming. He threw her into the jet, and then got in himself – but not before blowing a kiss in Reese's direction.

"Farewell, my angel…until we meet again."

The three kids ran to the window, watching as the aircraft lifted into the sky.

"Well, there they go," Max said, knowing the Alpha Gang would return to wreak havoc another day.

"The important thing is that Reese is back, and we're all safe," Rex pointed out.

"Till next time!" Zoe called, mockingly. "Goodbye, old lady!"

"OLD LADY!?" Ursula screeched, collapsing to her knees in defeat. "Won't that girl ever give me a break?!"

"We doubt it," Ed and Zander said in unison.

Meanwhile, back at the Drake residence, Reese acted completely cool about what had just happened. She went to her office and started typing on her computer. Zoe walked in, sitting on a chair next to her sister.

"Reese, you're not really serious about that guy, are you?"

"What if I am?"

"Well, I mean…he's not exactly your type. I have no idea what you see in him. He's one of the bad guys, after all."

Reese looked away from her computer to smile tenderly at Zoe. "I feel something special when I'm near Zander. He's not such a bad person. I feel the passion and love in his heart. You should give him a chance."

Zoe's reaction was a sarcastic eye roll, but she could see there was no changing Reese's mind.

"Okay, fine, you can keep dating him if you want."

"Thank you for your approval, Mother," Reese said with a chuckle.

"By the way, where did you and Zander go?"

"We had coffee, and then we took a nice walk. It's a beautiful day."

Then, a thought popped into Zoe's head.

"Paris! She must be finished napping by now. I wanna go play with her!" And with that, Zoe was gone.

Reese felt warmth in her heart, and her smile remained.

The D-Team found it amazing that Chomp, Ace, and Paris had slept through all the excitement. The little dinosaurs awoke well-rested and ready for fun. It would be many hours before dinner, so there was plenty of time to run and play. The kids and their dinosaurs went outside to play, enjoy the warm afternoon, and seek out another adventure.

The End
