*sigh* Finally... Oh hey! In case you were wondering what I'm doing, I'm leaving all of my stuff out in the sun to dry. By all of my stuff, I mean literally ALL of my stuff! After what happened last time, where my whole living room got covered in snow, everything in there was soaked, it didn't help that there was a heatwave going on at the time. That air conditioner I ordered wasn't an air conditioner, it was a snow machine...

...

Oh! The recap! I forgot, let's do it now.

Last time, Sam had finished repairing the time circuits, after Danielle announced that she got the book, Danielle bumped into Buster's friends. After she fooled them with "what's that?" joke, which somehow still works... Buster's friends chased her into the gym and spotted the other Danielle. Danielle's goal was to stop them from jumping her other self before she finishes the song. When she made it to opposite side of the stage, she spotted some sandbags. Danielle climbed up a ladder, crawled across and dropped the bags on them, after getting down, she made the sandbags fall on them again... K.O. ... Anyway, Danielle left through the exit, leading to where we are now.

Now, let's start the chapter that you've been waiting for!

Ready? Sego!

Chapter 15 – Get That Book!

Danielle was standing outside the doors, up against the wall. She then put her ear against the door and heard her other self talking to her parents, something that she remembers doing. Suddenly, a familiar voice piped up beside her. "Hey twerp!"

Danielle turned her eyes away from the door and saw Buster standing in front of her. "You think you could get away from me? Let's have it out… you and me! Right now!" Buster said in a menacing voice.

"No thanks…" Danielle said as she turned to walk away. "What's the matter? Where're you goin! Are you chicken!?" Said Buster. '…What did he just call ME!?' Danielle thought as she froze. "That's it isn't it? Nothin but a little chicken!" Buster said in a taunting voice.

Danielle slowly turned her head, shooting him a deathly glare. She slowly turned around to face him. Her fur was hostilely standing up as she slowly walked up to him. "Nobody… calls me… chi-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the door quickly swung open and slammed Danielle in the face. Then, the other Danielle ran out the door. She paused, looked in a direction and ran off. Buster looked at her in shock and confusion.

When the door slowly closed, Buster saw Danielle standing with her back to the wall, with a woozy look on her face. Danielle stumbled a little and fell to the ground stunned from the hit. "Uggghhh…"

"What the…?" Buster muttered when he noticed something tucked away under Danielle's fur. When he recognized that it was the book, he grabbed it. "You steal my stuff?" Buster quietly said, offended.

Buster then kicked Danielle in the stomach. That woke her up, Danielle grunted in pain. "And this one's for my car!" Buster said before kicking her again. He then ran over to his car nearby, got in and tossed the book into the backseat.

Danielle slowly got up as Buster started driving away. Danielle then tiredly ran towards the stairs to her right and went up. When she got to the top, she turned and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Sam was rolling up the rope that was tethered to the D.E. and Scamp was sitting next to the back when he heard something happen from below. "Sam, did you hear that?" Scamp asked in a concerned tone. "I didn't hear anything." Sam said as he shrugged.

Danielle then appeared at the top of the ladder and ran up to them, wheezing. "Sam, Scamp! I blew it… Buster nailed me and took the book and drove away with it in his car. Sam gasped as he threw the rope inside the D.E.

"What!? Danielle are you okay!?" Scamp asked urgently. "Relax Scamp, I'm fine… It's my fault guys, I should've gotten there sooner." Danielle said as she was catching her breath. "No time for that now, which way did he go?" Asked Sam.

"East towards the river road tunnel." Danielle said as she lazily pointed in the direction. Sam then darted to the D.E. "Get in!" Sam shouted as he jumped into the driver's seat.

Danielle opened the passenger door and jumped into the seat, followed by Scamp. After they closed the doors, Sam started the D.E. and flew off.

After a few seconds of flying, Scamp turned to Danielle. "So, Danielle. Did you see the… other you?" Asked Scamp. "Yeah I did, more than once!" Said Danielle. "So… how does it feel to see yourself, doing things that you remember doing?" Asked Scamp. "It felt really weird… painful? Maybe…"

"Painful? How?" Asked Scamp. "Well, before Buster took the book, I was standing by a door, staring him down. Then the other me pushed the door open and slammed it into my face… Which really hurt by the way! Probably gonna leave a mark…" Danielle said as she rubbed the spot where she got hit.

"Well, I my next question is… Why were you hitting yourself?" Scamp said as he snickered. "You wouldn't be laughing if that were to happen to you…" Danielle said unamused.

Then Sam changed the topic. "Hey guys, jokes aside! I need help looking for Buster's car. Danielle, you know what it looks like, do you see it?" Asked Sam. Danielle looked down towards the road and saw him.

"He's over there!" Danielle said as she pointed to the car. The D.E. slowly descended closer to it. Danielle opened the passenger side door and looked down at him. She then looked through her binoculars.

"Yes… There he is guys!" Said Danielle. "Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car." Said Scamp. Sam immediately scratched his idea. "Scamp he's in a 1903 Ford Model A, we're in a Detroit Electric. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil…" Said Sam quickly.

Danielle lowered her binoculars, "So what'll we do?" Asked Danielle. "I have a plan… here Danielle, take this." Sam said as he reached down onto the floor of the D.E. and pulled out a board with wheels, except it had no wheels.

"What's this?" Asked Danielle. "This Danielle, is something called a hoverboard!" Said Sam. "What does it do?" Asked Scamp. "Well, it does what the name says, it hovers above the ground!" Said Sam.

"Where did you get this?" Asked Danielle. "I got it while I was up grading the D.E. in the year 2350. I chose to stop by at a nearby store and bought this! I tried it and it's a smooth ride, even on bumpy surfaces, like roads!" Said Sam.

He then continued, "So, Danielle. I'll lower the D.E. down to just above the road, then you get on the hoverboard and sneak over to Buster's car and grab the book. After you do that, let go of the car and we'll pick you up. Let's head down now."

The D.E. lowered to right above the street, just behind Buster's car. Buster couldn't hear it because he was listing to the radio on the sports station.

The passenger side door then opened, and Danielle slowly climbed out on the hoverboard, Danielle held onto the D.E. so that she doesn't fall behind. Scamp then stepped forward. "Are you okay out there?" Scamp asked quietly. "It's just like being on a board with wheels… except without the wheels." Said Danielle.

Danielle then turned towards the back of Buster's car, right in front of her. She slowly inched to the edge of the D.E. and pushed hard. Danielle grabbed onto the back of Buster's car, Buster would've heard her, if he didn't turn up the radio.

Once Danielle had a firm grip, she turned her head back and waved at them. Sam nodded, he slowly and quietly raised the D.E. up and away. Buster turned his head back, thinking he heard something, but saw nothing. He shrugged it off and continued driving.

Danielle slowly raised up from behind Buster's car and slowly made her way to the passenger side and stopped when she saw the almanac sitting in the backseat. Danielle slowly and carefully reached her paw out to grab the almanac, but Buster, without turning his head, reached back and grabbed it first.

While he did that, Danielle quickly ducked down the side of the car to avoid being seen. When she poked her head back up, she saw Buster looking at the scores the radio guy is listing. 'UGH! Is it really that hard just to grab ONE book!?' Danielle thought as she silently hit her paw on the rim in frustration.

"Wow, really weird book…" Muttered Buster. Danielle watched as he slowly laid the book down onto the passenger seat next to him.

Danielle ducked down as she slowly inched to the door. She quietly opened it and poked her head through and saw the book. Danielle took a quick look at Buster and turned her eyes back to the book, she slowly started reaching for it.

Then, at the absolute worst time possible. Buster took one quick glance at the book, which went unnoticed by Danielle. Buster processed what he saw and was instantly enraged. "YOU AGAIN!?" Buster yelled as he swiftly turned his head back towards her.

'UH OH!' Danielle quickly put her paw onto the book. At the same time, Buster grabbed the book. "GIVE ME THAT BOOK!" Buster shouted as he pulled on the book. As he did, Danielle was squeezed between the door and the car, still hanging on.

Buster struggled to break her grip on book. "LET IT GO!" Buster said as he pulled hard, trying to yank it out of Danielle's grasp, but to no avail. Buster then kicked the passenger side door, causing it to fly open, Danielle held onto the door with only her left paw.

After the almanac landed onto the windshield. Buster tried to knock Danielle off by spinning the car a sharp left, while it was happening, Danielle grabbed onto the door with her other paw, strengthening her grip.

Danielle screamed as the car whirled a full 360 and drove against a dirt hill. Danielle held on for dear life as they sped down the road, passing a sign reading "Tunnel Ahead"

While Danielle was gripped to the passenger door hanging open, Buster noticed the tunnel up ahead. He put a devious grin on his face and steered toward the right side of the tunnel entrance. Danielle looked ahead and saw what Buster was going to do.

"ACK!" Danielle yelled as she let go of the passenger door and climbed around to the back of the car, just before Buster brushed the side of his car against the tunnel wall. The car screeched as it scratched against the concrete wall.

Buster then pulled the car away and looked to the passenger side of his car, breathing heavily. As he scanned the side of his car, Danielle was nowhere to be found. He then turned to face the road, "That'll teach her!" Buster said in a triumphant tone.

Danielle slowly raised her head from the back of Buster's car and slowly made her way to the driver's side of the car. Buster then had a feeling that something was off. He peeked through the rear-view mirror and saw her.

'So this is how it's gonna be?' Buster thought as he turned his eyes to his left, preparing himself. Danielle slowly inched toward the front and when she was right to Buster's left. Buster slammed his paw into her face, then swiped his paw into the side of her head.

Both times, Danielle held on, when Buster tried hitting her again, Danielle ducked to dodge his attack. A horn sounded in front of them, Buster turned to look at the road and saw they were headed for a large truck.

As Buster quickly spun the wheel to the right, Danielle screamed as they approached it. Then the car swerved to the right and just missed the truck. After the passed it, Buster tried another attempt at using the tunnel to get her off.

Danielle looked back at the wall behind her and was slowly getting closer to it. Danielle lifted her hindlegs and had the hoverboard hovering against the wall. Danielle slowly reached for the book, still on the windshield.

When Danielle laid her right paw on it, she pushed up her hindlegs up so that she was doing a handstand- er… pawstand? Immediately after, her hindlegs came back down towards the passenger side of the car.

Danielle quickly grabbed the book as she flew off the car and landed on her paws. Basically, she cartwheeled over Buster's car and snatched the almanac while doing it.

Danielle turned towards Buster's car as it sped away. Then it screeched as it spun around and stopped at the end of the tunnel, facing Danielle. 'Oh, this isn't good. I just hope I can get back to the…' Danielle's thoughts trailed off when she looked at the other side of the tunnel, which was far away.

'WHAT!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?' Danielle thought as she stared at the end of the tunnel. She then turned back to Buster as she put away the almanac. Buster then started grinning as he revved his engine.

Danielle hopped back on the hoverboard and started pushing towards the other end. After a few seconds, Buster changed gears and pressed the gas pedal. The tires screeched as the car started to move.

Danielle turned back to the exit and started pushing faster. She turned back to Buster's car and saw that he was gaining on her. She also saw that Buster's face was turning into a sinister loo. "Woah!" Danielle yelled as she started pushing faster.

Buster pushed the gas pedal again and accelerated the car. Danielle started panting, she quickly glanced at Buster's car and back. Buster started to laugh menacingly as Danielle pushed hard. She looked back and saw Buster looking at her with a look of murder in his eyes.

Danielle screamed as she turned back and started pushing as fast and as hard as she could. 'This is it, I'm gonna die!' Danielle thought as tears filled her eyes. There was no hope left, Danielle was done for.

But then, she saw something emerging at the end of the tunnel, something was swinging into view. Before Danielle could process what was happening, she crossed it's path and swung into the air with it.

Danielle saw Buster's car rush by and miss her, she looked to see who saved her. Danielle gasped out of happiness when she saw Scamp smiling from relief. "Scamp!" Danielle squealed with joy. Scamp had a rope tied around his body, he had his front legs around her body.

Buster looked up and saw them on a rope attached to the flying D.E. "Hold on Danielle!" Scamp yelled as Danielle wrapped her paws around him, beside herself with glee. Buster stared at them and the D.E. In shock.

As the D.E. slowly rose up and hovered in the sky. Buster turned back to the road and saw that he was driving toward a manure truck. The same one that he crashed into a few days prior. "NO NO NOOOOOO!" Buster screamed as he swerved the car to the left to try and avoid it, but it didn't work.

Buster collided with the back of the truck with a loud BANG! Manure spilled out all over him and the car. Danielle and Scamp were looking on with joy. "Aha ha! YES!" Danielle cheered. Scamp was laughing so hard. "Now that!... That was FUNNY!" Scamp said with a big smile on his face.

As the D.E. slowly flew away, passing the manure truck. Buster was moaning and groaning in disgust and anger. He then spat out some manure and raised his paws. "MANURE! I HATE MANURE!" Buster yelled as he banged on his steering wheel. He turned his head to look at the D.E. in the distance, his eyes red with rage.
