Meanwhile, Foxxy and Mike were walking back home though Foxxy still had a goofy smile on her face.
"What a man!" Foxxy beamed.
Mike just gave a small smile with her hands in her jacket pockets.
"Honey Child, at this rate, you're gonna get a new daddy very soon." Foxxy said to Mike.
"Let's not rush things now," Mike chuckled. "You two just hook up."
"Well, I can dream, can't I?" Foxxy replied.
"Of course you can, just take it one step at a time." Mike smiled.
They then arrived at the Drawn Together house. Mike opened the door and found all of the housemates smiling at Foxxy.
"We heard everything, and congratulations!" Clara beamed as she hugged the fox woman. "I knew you could do it!"
"Oh, uh, thanks, Clara, so nice of you to be nice and sappy like you're supposed to be." Foxxy smirked.
"Don't push it." Clara narrowed her eyes slightly.
"So, what happened?" Captain Hero asked. "Did he reject you?"
"No." Foxxy scoffed.
"Did he kiss you?" Wooldoor smiled.
"Yes." Foxxy smiled back.
"Are you pregnant?" Spanky asked.
"It was just a kiss!" Foxxy glared slightly.
"That's what they all say." Spanky narrowed his eyes.
"Guys, this calls for a celebration," Xandir suggested. "Let's have a feast in honor of Foxxy's happiness!"
The housemates cheered to that.
"Aw, you guys don't have to do that." Foxxy replied.
"We want to, Foxxy, you are our friend." Ling-Ling piped up.
"Yeah!" Mike smiled. "Come on, Foxxy!"
"Well, all right." Foxxy smiled back to that.
They soon came inside of the house together.
"He say anything about gold?" Spanky asked Foxxy.
"What is with you and gold, Spanky?" Mike asked. "You sound like Eddy."
"Nothing. Nothing." Spanky said.
"But what about our Mex-" Wooldoor was about to speak up until Captain Hero covered his mouth.
"You guys trying to keep stuff from me again?" Mike asked suspiciously.
"No, Mike, don't be silly," Captain Hero replied. "Why would we keep things from you?"
"You're talking nonsense." Spanky added.
"Guys, whatever it is, you can tell me." Mike said to them.
"Wait, I'm confused," Wooldoor said. "Do we tell Mike about our Mexican vacation or not?"
Spanky and Captain Hero groaned to that in misfortune.
"Wooldoor!" Xandir cried out.
"It was suppose to be a secret!" Ling-Ling added.
"Uh... Mexican trip?" Mike asked them.
"Might as well tell ya," Spanky replied. "Let's go up to my room."
Mike and the boys went upstairs to Spanky's room.
"All right, come clean, what's this all about?" Mike asked. "What's with the gold and being so secretive?"
"All right, kid, once we tell you, you promise that you won't tell anyone, and I mean anyone?!" Spanky interrogated.
"Okay. I won't." Mike replied.
Spanky looked around and soon went under his bed and took out a chest and opened it up to show the gold. Mike soon sat down as she waited to hear what was going on with the guys.
"Look at this, Mike." Spanky showed her.
"Holy, crap!" Mike gasped once she looked at the gold. "You got this from your trip to Mexico?"
"Well, yeah, but it wasn't easy." Spanky said.
"So, what happened?" Mike asked them.
"Well, we were enjoying our vacation," Spanky began to explain. "We would've invited you to come along, but you had school..."
Flashback to the boys of Drawn Together having a fun time...
"This is the best vacation ever!" Captain Hero beamed.
"Hell, yeah!" Spanky added as he pulled out some wine. "Cheers!"
"Wine? What are we, a women's book club?" Captain Hero scoffed at the drink.
"No, this is a Mexican wine called Casa Grande," Spanky replied. "This stuff is really strong. Of course, if you're too pussy to drink it..."
"Well, bring it on then! Why didn't you say so!" Captain Hero smirked before taking a glass and drank it right away.
"Here's to our vacation!" Spanky laughed as they shared some wine.
"Vacation!" The guys beamed as they clinked their glasses together.
"What could be even better?" Wooldoor smiled all around.
"I got a big schedule planned for us, aside from the ladies of course," Spanky smirked. "Foreign chicks are the hottest, no matter what Clara thinks."
"Or you could go to the city of gold." A man's voice told them.
"Uh, who said that?" Xandir asked.
A mysterious man looked to them and soon came out who was a bit familiar, at least he would've been to Mike if she had been there.
"Who are you?" Wooldoor asked.
"They call me El Curandero," The man replied as he came out to see them. "Have you guys not heard of El Dorado?"
"El Dorado?" Xandir replied. "The city of gold?"
"Where else?" The Curandero replied. "It's worth checking out."
"Gold?!" Spanky beamed as he had money signs in his eyes now.
"Si, I could take you there." The Curandero told them.
Spanky looked to Captain Hero, Wooldoor, and Xandir with a smirk. "Well, ya fellas thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Field Trip!" The Drawn Together guys announced together.
"And so, we set out on the road," Spanky narrated as they began a quest with the old man who led them into a tent. "But of course, we needed some supplies. Along the way, that cool old guy told us about a story... Something about two guys named Miguel and Tulio... Probably not important."
"So, what happened next?" Mike asked.
"Well, whatya think?" Spanky replied. "We were all set up and we began to make a quest... On the road to El Dorado!"
"But something happened." Captain Hero added.
"You try to take a treasure from an ancient temple and soon got chased down for taking it?" Mike guessed like this was the set-up for an Indiana Jones movie.
"Uh, no. Let us continue." Spanky replied.
The story continued as The Curandero was leading them.
"Are you sure that there's gold in there?" Spanky asked.
"Si." The Curandero replied.
"Let's get going then!" Captain Hero announced before flying off. "Last one there has to wash my super tights!"
"Oh, I would love to wash your tights, Captain Hero!" Wooldoor beamed before he ran off. "Wheeee!"
Spanky and Xandir seemed to roll their eyes before they came up to the ancient ruin of El Dorado: the city of gold.
"This is it, my friends," The Curandero told them. "The City of Gold."
"El Dorado..." Captain Hero, Spanky, Wooldoor, and Xandir whispered in awestruck.
"You four remind me of the legend of Miguel and Tulio when they came looking for this place hundreds of years ago." The Curandero remarked to them.
"It's like I'm in Heaven right now." Spanky smiled.
"But I should warn you," The Curandero told them. "This city has a protect-"
"Yeah, yeah, thank you for your services, now let us do the rest." Spanky interrupted as he pushed The Curandero.
"But you don't understand!" The Curandero replied.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll handle it okay, thank you, Pepe, or whatever your name is, bye!" Captain Hero said as he pushed the old man away.
"They will figure out the hard way," The Curandero sighed in dismay. "Americans, go figure."
The five Drawn Together housemates soon went to go check out El Dorado for themselves as they felt very excited.
"We're gonna be rich!" Spanky beamed.
"I could buy the Batmobile from Batman!" Captain Hero added.
"I can help my sister outshine Miss Piggy!" Spanky beamed.
"You have a sister?" Wooldoor asked him.
"Shut up!" Spanky glared.
"Okay!" Wooldoor smiled. "I can visit my family back in my strange homeland no one's been to before!"
"And I could use it to pay Leah's college fund!" Xandir added.
They soon ran over and went to collect the gold.
"I guess I could pay for Todd's college fund too." Spanky said.
"Randy." Xandir corrected.
"Ah, who cares anymore?" Spanky rolled his eyes.
"We're rich!" Captain Hero beamed before jumping in the pile of gold. "Super rich!"
"And we thought that we were the only ones there," Spanky's voice narrated. "But it turns out, we weren't."
"Hey, guys, did you hear something?" Wooldoor asked.
"All I hear is me getting richer and richer by the minute!" Spanky laughed. "Cha-Ching, baby!"
"No, he's right," Xandir replied. "I hear something too."
"My Hero senses are tingling! It must be trouble!" Captain Hero said. "Roseanne must've escaped from an All You Can Eat Buffet!"
"Quick! Everyone hide!" Xandir cried out.
Everyone soon went to hide in their own hiding place while collecting the gold and Spanky found an old chest to stuff some of the gold coins in while trying to be quiet.
"That's when we saw him." Spanky's voice continued to narrate.
There was a familiar man wearing yellow gloves, green pants, red and yellow boots, a red cape, and a golden Azetc necklace who came into the city of gold.
"Who is that?" Wooldoor wondered.
"Hmm... Hang on a second... I'm sure I've seen that fellow before..." Captain Hero said as he took out his phone to do some research. "If I can get some bars in this place."
Some of the others rolled their eyes to that, feeling a bit unimpressed.
"Hmm... Someone is trespassing..." El Dorado said to himself as he came to explore. "Evil doers, you best beware!"
"Oh, no. What are we going to do?" Xandir frowned.
"If only we had a superhero to help us." Spanky hinted.
"I know, good help is so hard to find these days." Captain Hero said, not getting it.
"Someone who has superpowers?" Xandir added.
"I know, superheroes are so slow these days." Captain Hero said.
Everyone else gave him a deadpan look, even Wooldoor which was saying a lot.
"Oh! You mean me? Well, excellent choice, boys!" Captain Hero smirked. "Before I go though, I shall send in my sidekick before we go any further! My nephew: Captain Boy!"
The others then looked confused.
"Lemme at him! Lemme at him!" A young boy jumped out, looking like a small version of Captain Hero as he came towards El Dorado in a Scrappy Doo fashion.
Spanky, Wooldoor, and Xandir blinked from confusion.
"What the fuck?" Spanky muttered.
El Dorado looked over and soon kicked Captain Boy away before narrowing his eyes.
"What the heck was that gonna do?!" Spanky glared.
"I dunno." Captain Hero shrugged which made Xandir face-palm.
"What are we gonna do?!" Wooldoor panicked. "He's gonna kill us all!"
El Dorado soon stomped around, looking around for some trespassers.
"Perhaps I could fly us out of here while I think of where I've seen that gentleman before." Captain Hero said.
"Why didn't you think of that sooner?!" Spanky glared.
"I panicked." Captain Hero shrugged.
The others grumbled.
"Okay, just follow my lead." Captain Hero told them.
"I'm scared." Xandir commented to that.
"Hold it!" Spanky said before he soon grabbed a chest filled with gold and came back to the others. "Okay, ready!"
"Won't he see us though?" Wooldoor asked.
"No, he won't, because this plan involves our former gay friend." Captain Hero grinned.
"Uh-oh." Xandir muttered.
"What's Xandir gonna do?" Wooldoor asked Captain Hero.
Captain Hero just still grinning as Xandir was now wearing a red dress, with a black veil, and matching heels. He also had jewelry and make-up on. "Now, all you have to do is distract him while we get away." he then told the video game character.
"What if it won't work?" Xandir asked.
Captain Hero shoved him off anyway.
"Oof!" Xandir yelped, falling on his knees in front of El Dorado.
El Dorado soon looked over and looked down to Xandir in disguise.
"Um... Hola, Senor!" Xandir greeted, trying to make his voice a bit higher than it already was. "Tell me, what's a handsome guy like you doing in a place like this?"
"First, you could tell me what you are doing here," El Dorado said as he helped her up. "It's dangerous for you to come here all by your lonesome, Senorita."
"Well, I got lost and ended up here." Xandir replied.
"He's distracted, let's go!" Spanky whispered to the others.
The other guys soon rushed over.
"What's your name?" El Dorado asked.
"Xan-...Er... Zondra..." Xandir replied.
"Interesting name, I can tell you're not from around here." El Dorado commented.
"Uh, Si," Xandir replied. "I'm here on vacation."
"Hmm... Interesting... Well, you should not be in here," El Dorado told her. "I'm sorry, but this place is off-limits."
"Oh, I understand completely, Senor," Xandir said. "I'd best be on my way."
"I'm sorry, Senorita, but it's for your own safety." El Dorado told her.
"Of course, of course, I'll see you later, uh, hasta la vista, baby." Xandir smiled nervously and soon ran out the best he could since he was in heels as Spanky, Wooldoor, and Captain Hero made it out with the gold.
"We did it! We did it!" Spanky beamed. "We're rich!"
"And so we ran off with the gold and that brings us to today!" Spanky smiled as he ended the story.
"And sometime later, you came home for dinner, then you asked about the gold, and then we told you what happened, and we told you about how we ran into that old guy, and then we met that Mexican superhero-" Wooldoor then smiled.
"You're telling the whole story all over again!" Captain Hero, Spanky, and Xandir complained to him.
"Oh. Sorry." Wooldoor smiled bashfully.
"That sounds like you've had a bizarre adventure." Mike commented.
"You have no idea..." Captain Hero said. "We're lucky to be alive."
"Unlike Captain Boy, I'll assume." Mike remarked.
"I know, my sister sure is going to have a fit once she finds out." Captain Hero replied.
Mike had a deadpan gaze before rolling her eyes.
"And something about two guys named Miguel and Tulio, but they're probably not important." Spanky then shrugged off.
"And we're trusting you not to tell anyone," Wooldoor said to Mike. "Who knows where that Mexican superhero could be? He could be anywhere!"
"Actually, his name is El Dorado." Mike replied.
"That was it!" Captain Hero said. "He was one of the foreign exchange students from my times in Superhero School."
"Foreign exchange students?" Mike asked as that interested her. After all, she used to be one herself. That felt like a lifetime ago.
"Ah, yes," Captain Hero replied. "The headmaster decided we could use a little more diversity in school, so he allowed students of many backgrounds to come over. He was one of them, along with other characters like Black Vulcan and Samurai. Ah, those were the good old days," he then smiled. "The girls liked that hot Hispanic superhero. He was quite the character."
"Hmm... I see..." Mike replied. "Well, thanks for telling me, guys."
"Do you promise that you won't tell anyone?" Spanky asked Mike.
"I won't. I promise." Mike vowed.
"That's a good girl," Spanky replied. "Because we wouldn't wanna have to kill you!"
"Like you guys would ever kill me." Mike rolled her eyes.
"Oh, he's only kidding, Mike." Xandir chuckled lightly.
"I'm sure he was," Mike replied. "Now, you're sure that El Dorado might not come looking for that chest?"
"God, I hope not." Spanky said.
"Mm-hmm..." Mike rolled her eyes. "It's better to be safe than sorry."
"I wonder why he would want that chest so bad?"" Wooldoor commented.
"Who cares? We found it, so finders keepers." Spanky shrugged.
Mike soon walked away.
"Leaving so soon?" Spanky asked.
"I'm getting out of this before you guys ask for trouble," Mike replied. "Good luck with your treasure."
"We're gonna be putting this in your college fund!" Spanky told her.
Mike didn't say anything as she walked away to help prepare dinner.
"Just keep your eyes peeled," Captain Hero warned. "He's a trickster. He could be anywhere. Hell, he could be one of us in disguise."
The boys looked all around, even Xandir who was usually the normal one in situations like this.
"Hey, Clara, mind if I help you make dinner?" Mike asked the princess. "I know you usually like to have your animal friends help out, but I know a thing or two about my own cooking, especially with eggs."
"Sure, Mike, I don't mind." Clara smiled to that.
Mike smiled back as she rolled up her sleeves and went to wash her hands to help Clara out with dinner. "Anything special you gonna make tonight?" she then asked.
"Well, back in my kingdom whenever we celebrate something new and amazing, we prepare this kind of food." Clara said as she pulled out a long list.
"Wow, it's gonna be like Thanksgiving!" Mike beamed. "Let's get to work."
"I thought it might be a good time for it since Foxxy's found love." Clara smiled.
"I know," Mike smiled back. "He seems like the right one for her."
"He certainly seems to be... I guess..." Clara said. "Shouldn't Foxxy go out with someone her own race?"
"Clara?!" Mike glared slightly.
"What?" Clara asked.
"That's profiling!" Mike told her. "Love is love, it doesn't matter of what skin tone, gender, or anything like that!"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Clara said as she didn't realize that.
"You really have a lot to learn, Clara," Mike said. "It's not cool."
"Mike, you know I can't help it since my bigot uncle raised me pretending to be my father." Clara replied.
"I know, and that's why I decided to help you out the best that I can," Mike replied before she checked the list to clear up the accident. "Now, let's round up some food. A lot of this looks great. Must be great to be raised in royalty."
"It can be." Clara giggled to that.
Mike and Clara smiled to each other and they both went to work to get cooking with dinner.
Foxxy was in the backyard outside as she sighed happily. "Finally, I have someone who likes me for who I am," she said to herself in content. "But it feels like he's hiding something from me. I kinda wish that he would tell me."
Ling-Ling looked over and decided to go and talk with Foxxy since everyone else was busy. "Chocolate Animal Woman, are you okay?" he then asked her.
"I dunno, Lang-Lang, I got stuff on my mind." Foxxy sighed to the battle monster.
"Ling-Ling will listen if friend talk about it." Ling-Ling coaxed.
"I doubt you'll understand, I just wanna be alone." Foxxy said.
Ling-Ling soon gave her a teary-eyed look.
"Oh, no. No, no, no, no," Foxxy glared. "That ain't gonna work on me."
Ling-Ling tilted his head with a pout and sniffled to Foxxy.
"All right, all right, I'll tell you if you stop doing that!" Foxxy complained.
Ling-Ling just grinned in victory to that.
"Fine..." Foxxy sighed. "It's about Fernando."
"What about him?" Ling-Ling asked.
"I feel like he's hiding something from me." Foxxy told him.
"Why would he hide something from you?" Ling-Ling asked.
"I dunno, but I can't fight my instincts." Foxxy told him.
"Foxxy, you should confront him and ask him." Ling-Ling suggested.
"If I do that, then he'll probably lie to me." Foxxy replied.
"If he really love you, he won't lie." Ling-Ling told Foxxy.
"Hmm... I guess so..." Foxxy said. "Maybe I should go over to see him and ask him."
"That the spirit!" Ling-Ling beamed.
"I guess so..." Foxxy said. "I guess I'm still taking baby steps."
"That a good idea." Ling-Ling said as he pat Foxxy on the back.
"Thanks, Lang-Lang." Foxxy said to her.
The two seemed to share a hug with each other.
Meanwhile at Ellody's household…
"What?! The chest has been stolen?!" Ellody's eyes widened.
"Did you say something, mija?" Ellody's father asked.
"Oh, nothing, Papi, I'm just talking to myself." Ellody told him.
"Oh, okay, mija." Ellody's father said.
"What am I going to do?!" Ellody then asked once she was alone again.
"I'm going to search around for it." Fernando's voice soon said.
Ellody looked over to see her uncle sitting on her bedroom window sill. "Who would do such a thing?" She then frowned. "Especially since the City of Gold is off-limits."
Fernando narrowed his eyes once he thought about it for a while. "Those tourists!"
"Huh?" Ellody asked. "What tourists?"
"There were tourists who came for a Mexican vacation," Fernando replied. "The Curandero told me about them after I had a sinking feeling after I was keeping an eye on the temple of El Dorado. He said there were these tourists who came to explore after he told them about it... It has to had been them. I'm sure of it."
"Are you sure?"
"Si." Fernando replied as he closed his eyes, thinking about that day.
Flashback to him and the Curandero talking
"Forgive me, but they wanted to explore the temple," The Curandero frowned. "I wish I hadn't even told them about it."
"Tourists... They're always so estupido." Fernando complained as The Currandero was one of the few people who knew his secret.
"I know..." The Currandero replied.
"What do we do, Benito?" Fernando asked him.
"You have to stop them," The Currandero replied. "I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen."
"I will find them and catch them... They should suffer from a curse." Fernando narrowed his eyes.
"You are the new Protector of Mexico and Spain and the Aztec sorcerers made the right choice of choosing you." The Currandero told him.
"I don't know what I'll do, but I'll think of something," Fernando replied. "Gracias for telling me though, Benito. You were always like a father to Carlotta and I."
"It was always my pleasure, and I'm sure that your familia is very proud of you." The Currandero replied.
"I'll get them for this, Benito," Fernando replied. "One way or another." he then took out his phone as he and Ellody were due for a visit anyway.
End of Flashback
"So that's why you came to visit." Ellody then said to her uncle.
"Si. I am sorry for not telling you earlier." Fernando replied.
"It's all right, I understand," Ellody told him. "I want to help you in any way that I can."
"You can try, but I'm not sure what you can do right now, Ellie." Fernando said to his niece.
"Don't worry, this is important to me as well," Ellody said. "Any leads to who could've done it?"
"No, but I'm going to take a look into it tonight a little bit." Fernando replied.
"But, may I ask you something?" Ellody asked.
"Go ahead." Fernando said.
"...Do you... Do you really love Ms. Love?" Ellody soon asked about Foxxy.
"I do," Fernando said. "She's one of the most beautiful women who deserves true and sincere happiness."
"You two seemed crazy about each other earlier." Ellody said.
"Si... I think she may be the one..." Fernando replied. "I was once in love with a girl I thought was perfecto and fantastic... It sadly did not last though."
"Who was she if I may ask?" Ellody asked.
"You may know her best as... Miss Chiquita Banana." Fernando told his niece.
"Oh, yes, I've heard about her," Ellody replied. "Mike told me about that time that she and some of the others saved the other mascots."
"We went out for a couple of dates... It didn't work out, we decided we were better as friends." Fernando replied.
"I see. I'm sorry that it didn't work out." Ellody said.
"It's all right," Fernando replied. "It was for the best."
"Hmm... I suppose so since you seem to really like Ms. Love." Ellody smiled to her uncle.
"Si, she deserves felicidad after what she's been through all of her life." Fernando replied.
Ellody gave a small smile to him. Fernando smiled back.
"How did I get so lucky for you to be my uncle?" Ellody asked.
"By Mami and Papi giving me a little sister instead of a little brother like I asked for?" Fernando smiled bashfully.
Ellody giggled to that before sighing. "I wanted a sibling, but instead I got a step-sister who's really mean."
"Maybe I could deal with her later." Fernando narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, no, no, you don't have to do that." Ellody replied bashfully.
"I want to." Fernando insisted.
"Ellody, who's up there?!" Courtney's voice soon yelled out. "Mom said no visitors this late at night! I'm coming up there!"
"It's her!" Ellody gasped. "Quick, hide!"
"I won't be gone long." Fernando told her before he soon jumped out the window, landing in a tree in the backyard before climbing down and hid behind Pico's tool shed.
Courtney slammed the door open with a glare. "Hey, I hear voices! What's going on up here?!" she then glared to her step-sister.
"Nothing, I'm studying." Ellody said as she sat at her desk with a textbook and held a pencil in her hand with her lamp on as she tried to look innocent.
"I heard a man's voice up here!" Courtney glared.
"It was nobody." Ellody replied.
"Oh, yeah? I bet!" Courtney glared before opening Ellody's closet door only to see that it was empty. "Aha! ...Huh?"
Ellody rolled her eyes like Courtney was crazy before smiling that Fernando was able to make it out safely without being seen by anybody.
"I did hear someone here," Courtney glared. "Now spill it! Who was it?!"
"I just told you it was nobody." Ellody defended.
"I think you're lying!" Courtney glared.
"Do you see anyone else here?" Ellody asked. "I think you should go to bed early, Courtney. Too much sun is bad for you, you might wanna stay indoors for a while like when I visit the library."
"I know someone was in here, and when I find out who it was, you are gonna get it!" Courtney threatened.
"Whatever you say." Ellody shrugged.
Courtney just narrowed her eyes and walked out of her room. Ellody rolled her eyes with a sigh before smiling as she looked out her window as Fernando waved to her while hiding. Ellody waved back to him since it was all clear now. Fernando soon came back up to the window to see Ellody.
"Do you have to leave?" Ellody asked him.
"Si, I have to find the chest as soon as possible," Fernando replied. "Don't worry, I'll be back shortly."
"Be careful." Ellody told him.
Fernando nodded before giving her a soft hug before he went off into the night.
"Buenos Noches." Ellody smiled.
Ellody went over back to her desk to study over her script and practice her lines. Courtney grumbled as she went to her room and crossed her arms, but she had no proof, so what could she do?
