Here's the next chapter! We're getting close to wrapping this story up! Anyway, enjoy!
Curly, Caroline, Olga and I were looking around as Caroline was trying to spot the room. "They got to be here somewhere..."
"Right, where those weird friends of yours are... there has to be a table with all the little trains in it!" I nodded.
"Again, not sure if this is the same thing..." Olga said. "And I would really want A, an explanation as to why I witnessed a portal that I saw your friends walked through."
"I clearly don't know what you mean." Caroline shook her head.
Olga groaned as she held her head. "I must have really stayed up, getting concerned."
"It's okay, it's almost over..." I said as Curly smirked, seeing the two orange cloaked figures leading a man outside of a room.
"There's the room, let's get in!" Curly said as we walked inside.
"I'm still not sure about this..." Olga said nervously as she sat down on the table, looking at all the controls.
"If you can control a train set, you can control the entire tracks." I said as I looked at Olga. "I have faith in you, Olga. You're the greatest older sister figure I ever had."
Olga, hearing that, gave a warm smile as she looked at the monitors. "Okay, let's find our train!"
Olga paused as she was looking at a few levers. "Let's see what happens if I do this."
Olga then pulled a lever down as she looked at the computers.
"San Francisco Express now switching to Track 15."
"Looks like folks in San Francisco are going to be a LITTLE late today." Curly shook his head.
"Okay, okay... let's see." Olga took a deep breath.
"Just keep calm." Caroline soothed her as Olga pushed another lever. "Don't panic."
"Warning! California Zephyr on route to..."
"Come on, let's see if I can do this..." Olga said, pushing a couple of buttons and pushing a lever.
"Warning! Texas Longride..."
"No, we don't care about Texas." I said as Olga kept pushing levers.
"Warning! Collision! Warning! Collision!"
"Just a second, just a second, we're looking for one train in particular!" Curly sighed impatiently.
"We're just finding the one with our deed." Olga said as she pushed a button.
"The New Amsterdam Limited..."
"THERE'S the Amsterdam!" All four of us nodded, sighing in relief. It looked like we solved the problem.
"Warning, collision, twenty seconds!"
We stopped short as we looked at the monitors... and saw that every train Olga switched over were about to collide with each other as Olga said, "Can I panic now?"
The alarm started to blare as we got on, trying to find the button as I yelled, "All right, hold up! Everybody stop! EVERYBODY STOP!"
"Stop what you're doing!" Olga said as we tried to find the right buttons.
"Five... four... three..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!" We begged as we kept pushing buttons until we heard...
"All stop."
We looked at the monitors as all the trains blinked red. We all sighed in relief.
"Okay... let's take this from the top, shall we?" Olga said as she pushed a button, getting the New Amsterdam Limited back on the tracks.
"I'll be down to meet you at the station, Arnold." I said as I got up.
"Wait for me, Rhonda!" Olga said as she followed.
"We'll just stay behind, you get that deed!" Curly called as we left. We didn't pay it any mind.
By the time me and Olga reached the station, the four boys were waiting as the train arrived back at its station, Nadine, Phoebe and Lila were already there when they were informed that the train had retuned to the station. Olga, being a little more taller than us, quickly opened up the compartment as we stepped in.
"You certainly know your way around trains." Tucker asked.
"Well, let's just say I've... been on a few train rides... mostly on business trips with my dad." Olga said as Arnold was looking around.
"Where is that safety deposit box..." Arnold said... when he spotted something with a key. "Let's see if this is it..."
Arnold put the key in... as he heard a click. He opened up the safety deposit box as he looked at it. "Let's see... 'We, the people...' hm hm, uh huh, yeah... it's the deed! Tomato Incident did happen, all officially signed!"
"Great! Let's get out of here!" Olga said as she and the others jumped off the train station.
We nodded as we started to run off. Little did we realize that someone would spot us getting out of the train's luggage compartment...
"You kids think you can slow down a bit? I've been doing this running thing all day and possibly all night." Olga groaned. "I don't know about you, but after all this, I just want to snuggle in and sleep..."
"Yeah, I think we all deserve that..." Lila said. "We've had quite an exhausting..."
"Going somewhere?"
We yelped as the fake Scheck, also known as the kid I don't know the name of as Arnold looked at the kid in concern. "Brainy, you can't do this to us!"
"Watch me, Arnold! I've been alone through the years, nobody EVER associates or talks to me!" The kid frowned. "The only times I've ever been with you guys are when I'm either at those sport events you usually do or something else! Do you know how lonely it is, just being alone for all your life? It makes a person mad! Mad in insanity!"
"Brainy, I'm sorry if we never hung out as often as we did, but no offense, you had that breathing problem..." Arnold explained.
"And you were a bit of a creep." Nadine pointed out.
"And a dork." Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"Just tell me WHY you want to destroy our hometown, YOUR hometown!" Arnold begged. "That's all I ask!"
"WHY?" The kid glared. "I can do whatever I want, that's why!"
"Do your parents even KNOW about this... about... everything?" Arnold asked.
"No, and to be honest, I don't even care if they did. At home, and even at school, I felt I was the most unimportant person there!" The kid explained.
"Well... yeah, pretty much." I agreed with that statement.
"Brainy, this is madness!" Arnold said, worried.
"Forget it, Arnold, you heard what the boy said!" Gerald said.
"I have had enough of your tomfoolery!" The kid growled as he jumped out of the robotic suit and tackled Arnold. "I am going to get that deed!"
Something in me snapped as I growled. "BRAINY!"
Oh, that's his name! Wow, I wonder why I didn't know what it was before... but whatever the reason, he's definitely going to be remembered now. "You keep your grubby hands off of my BOYFRIEND!"
I pulled him off as Olga grabbed him. Brainy looked up to me in surprise... then looked down in sadness. "So it is true, then..."
"Brainy, I'm so sorry you didn't have any friends, but that didn't give you a right to be a jerk and take over everything!" Lorenzo frowned.
I turned to Brainy as I glared at him. "Shame on you, Brainy. Why would you attack him?"
"I... I don't understand." Brainy looked down. "She told me that you wouldn't make it obvious..."
"SHE told you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, and she told me that everything would go accordingly..." Brainy looked down. "I thought I was helping out by getting things back to the way they were... she didn't tell me that... that..."
"Who are you talking about?" I asked.
Before Brainy could answer, we heard a crowd coming in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I gather before you in this train station to expose our own boss, or rather, the murderer of our boss!" Sharlene said as she walked in. About everyone was there at the train station... the police, the workers at Future Tech, about our parents and neighbors were there. "Olga, give him to me."
Olga nodded as she gave Brainy to Sharlene as Sharlene turned Brainy over to her and stared intently at him. "I have to admit, I never would have thought a kid like you would be able to destroy the world... our homes at that. Do you have anything to say, hm?"
Sharlene then snapped her fingers a bit. "Come on, kid... say something."
"I confess!" Brainy said... in a monotone voice. "I am the one who murdered Mr. Scheck a week before we made the plans for a mall official. It was originally for a month, but I made it sooner."
"And the only witnesses that knew the truth, you were going to murder them too, all over this deed! Exhibit A!" Sharlene said as Arnold handed her the document. "This, ladies and gentlemen, is a deed... not just any deed... but a deed made after the Tomato Incident that marks our neighborhood a national landmark. Tell me, kid, did you know about this?"
"Yes." Brainy nodded, still speaking in a monotone voice. "I hid the document away, and was planning on revealing it until AFTER the mall was built, in which by then it would be too late."
"I suspected foul play going on the minute I entered Future Tech! I just wasn't able to solve that mystery until my dear friend, Olga, stepped in!" Sharlene said as she pulled Olga to the side. "Olga, may I see the pictures?"
Olga nodded as she gave the pictures to Sharlene, and gave to the police. "Notice the knife STILL stuck in Scheck's neck."
The police cringed as Sharlene nodded... when the dinosaur popped out of Phoebe's backpack. Sharlene gasped. "Uh, what is that?"
"Dinosaur. Future Tech." Phoebe said nervously.
"And there you have it, folks, the nail in the coffin! Apparently, the scientists at Future Tech breeded something that wasn't even official!" Sharlene said as she took the dinosaur. "I don't know what will happen to this magnificent creature, but I can tell one thing's for sure... it needs to be protected now."
Sharlene then glared at Brainy for a while longer as she said, "Well... anything else you'd like to add?"
"I did it all... I was the one who did it... and I only did it because I wanted to be loved..." Brainy said, still in that monotone voice.
Sharlene nodded as she turned. "I think we heard everything today. Police, escort this psychotic kid out of the place and into a safe insanity ward for children!"
One of the police officers nodded as he took the kid. "We'll take it from here."
As everyone watched Brainy being pulled out of the crime scene, we all just watched as Arnold looked down. "I can't believe it... I guess Brainy was doing this alone..."
All the kids except for myself nodded. I frowned. It just... seemed suspicious to me.
"What will happen to Future Tech now?" One of the workers muttered.
Sharlene gave a warm smile. "Don't worry... I'll clear something up and I'll see if I can change the future of Future Tech... come along, folks!"
As Sharlene led the Future Tech employees away, the mayor came in and coughed. "I think I've seen enough. Seeing as how the document exists, as your mayor, I reclaim this entire neighborhood as a national historic landmark never to be torn down."
Everyone hearing this applauded in cheers.
"Great..." Olga sighed... and then she fell right down as snoring was heard.
I just shook my head, laughing. "Come on Olga, we're done here..."
As soon as we got back to the apartments and led Olga straight to bed, where she felt more relaxed, I just shook my head as we exited out of the place.
"Okay... now that this is all done... let me get this out of the way..." Gerald coughed as we all turned to him. Gerald then glared at Arnold and I. "YOU TWO HAVE BEEN CRUSHING ON EACH OTHER?"
"Whoops." Arnold gulped as I chuckled nervously.
"Man, I am your best friend! Why didn't you tell me anything? And I've been thinking you had a crush on Ruth all this time!" Gerald said.
"I thought I did too, trust me." I said.
"Come on, Gerald, the point is, we're all still alive." Phoebe said. "I'm sure going to miss our little dino friend, though..."
"Yeah, but it's in a good place now..." Nadine said.
"Can we get back to the Arnda thing?" Gerald asked.
"Arnda?" Lorenzo raised an eyebrow.
"Arnold and Rhonda." Lila giggled. "That's actually a cute nickname for this couple..."
"Arnold, Rhonda, please tell me this was just a heat of the moment! Please say it's a heat of the moment!" Gerald begged.
"Actually..." Arnold said looking at me as he put my hand in his. "I think I want to give this relationship a shot."
"You mean it?" I smiled to Arnold.
"Hey... if we know we love each other, then... what's the point of keeping this secret, huh?" Arnold smiled.
"Oh, buddy..." I smiled, looking at his eyes. "I mean... charming..."
"Oh, beautiful..." Arnold sighed as we kept getting close...
We did it... we actually did it... Arnold and I finally got our kiss... it was a mere magical moment.
"Oh man..." Gerald groaned.
"Aww..." the girls smiled.
"Nice." Lorenzo and Tucker smiled.
I knew that deep within my mind, I was through the roof.
I poked one eyelid opened and stuck my tongue out at Helga as I started dancing around her, who just shook her head as I started chanting, "Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! You didn't keep your status, I decided to keep it!"
"Oh, yeah, real mature, princess." Helga rolled her eyes. "But seriously, we better be concerned. Brainy said that 'she' told him to do this... I wonder, who is 'she'?"
I stopped as I paused. "You don't think it's that Solara kid, do you?"
"It may be. Nobody else knows I exist except you, Curly and the Marcie supporters... she must have really put out all the stops to get after me!" Helga sighed.
"I don't get it, though... why would he want to kill you?" I asked.
"Maybe Solara tricked him like she did me by overexaggerating that I usually punched him all the time, I don't know." Helga said. "The point is, he knows who I am and where I am! There's a good chance he blabbed it to Solara!"
"There's a good chance he didn't..." I said.
"Still, we better be careful..." Helga sighed. "By the way, your kiss is about to end..."
I felt myself being pulled back.
Me and Arnold finished up our kiss as I smiled. Gerald could only faint at the site as we laughed a bit.
Later on, when I got to my home, I told my parents everything as they laughed.
"Congratulations, sweetheart!" My mom said.
"We're so proud of you... and you and Arnold are going out, to boot!" My dad patted my head. "Deep in my mind, I knew he'd make the right choice in girls... you're certainly a keeper."
"Oh, dad!" I laughed as I hugged my parents.
And so, me and my parents decided to have a little fun together, to celebrate. The best croquet, and we dined at the finest restaurant. It was the greatest time I ever had with my family...
...Nothing was going to take me away from them...
