Rest Stop in Georgia, October 2, 6:00am:
The sun had risen in the state of Georgia, Zeta and Marlin were just waking up, and yawning. Marlin was the first to say something...
Marlin: Zeta, do you feel like picking something up a conveinence store this morning?
Zeta: Well, I haven't tried any of that food yet, so why not?
Marlin started up his car, and turned the radio on, which was playing ther Supertramp song 'Breakfast in America'. They drove to a nearby exit as the song was playing. They stopped at a gas station with a conveinence store to pick up two breakfast burritos, and 2 cups of coffee. The song ends as the car drove into Alabama next.
Marlin: Zeta, we've now crossed into the state of Alabama. How are you liking the trip so far?
Zeta: It's beautiful, Marlin!
As Zeta and Marlin continued driving through Alabama, meanwhile, in Zahramay Falls, the kids and their genies were exploring the Rainbow Caves. Kaz's pet ziffilon, Zain, was also with them.
Leah: Believe me, Zac, Zeta once trapped us in here, so she could steal Shimmer and Shine's gems.
Shimmer: Yes. But thanks to some help from some animals...
Shine: ...not to mention, the animals were so cute and playful!
Shimmer: ... we've managed to escape and got Zeta not to steal our gems.
Shine: Rainbow the tiger certainly loved Zeta!
Zac: Wow! A tiger inside the Rainbow Cave...
Kaz: (scared) If this cave has traps, I'd like to get out of here right now!
Zain chirped in agreement.
Leah: There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not scary in here.
Just then, Rainbow the tiger came up to the gang. Kaz and Zain shivered in fear. But Rainbow recognized Shine, and began licking her...
Shine: Yes, Rainbow, it's me! We'd like you to meet our friends, Kaz, Zac, and Zain.
Rainbow went to Zac, began purring, and then licked him while Zac was ticklish and laughing as he was licked. Kaz and Zain however, were still a bit scared of the tiger, before Kaz reluctantly went up to Rainbow, and softly petted the tiger on her head.
Kaz: Well, she sure is friendly.
Rainbow was purring. Zain also walked slowly up to Rainbow, and found out she really was nice.
Leah: I hope that Zeta and Marlin are doing fine on the road. I wish I could see how they're doing right now.
Shine: Boom Zahramay! First wish of the day! Shimmer and Shine, wish granted, divine!
A flash gem appeared, which showed Zeta and Marlin driving out of Alabama, and into the state of Louisiana. Everyone saw that they were having fun.
Zac: I guess they're still driving through the country.
Shimmer: I never thought I'd be saying this, but since we've become true friends with Zeta, I'm starting to miss her.
Shine: Yeah, ever since she saved Zahramay Falls, we've been hanging out with her almost every day.
Leah: Don't worry. She'll be back home after she and Marlin get settled in.
In the real world, at night, at a rest stop in Louisiana...
Zeta: Marlin, sweetie, would you be willing to wait until tomorrow afternoon to call me again? I have stuff that I want to do back in Zahramay Falls.
Marlin: Well... all right. I'll let you go home now, Zeta.
Zeta: Thank you. (gives Marlin a peck on the cheek, then vanishes into the crystal bottle, and returned back to her lair in Zahramay Falls)
Zeta went over to her bed. She was too tired to change into her pajamas, so she just fell down on her bed, kicked her shoes off, and fell asleep.
Zeta: (mumbles) Night, Nazboo...
Nazboo saw Zeta, and he was happy to see her. He cuddled up with her on the bed and slept right beside her.
