IN LAND OF THE LOST

The Portal took The Bugaloos and Reiko with the three hungry babies to The Land Of The Lost. Where are we Courage asked staring at a lush green jungle with giant dinosaurs scattered around

Reiko was tired she hadn't rested since giving birth and she wanted ever so much to go home. Reiko stared lovingly at her children. The babies were fast asleep at last huddled to her breasts if she gave her life to save them Melvin would be heartbroken. The babies were far too little to survive without their mother. Reiko knew she had to stay strong, she stared helplessly at Melvin who was busy exploring their surroundings

Eiko re you alright Harmony hurried to the tired girl, Reiko was loosing energy she needed food and rest.

I'm tired and hungry Reiko murmured

Quickly I.Q. took command, Reiko you stay in this cave and rest with the babies, Melvin Courage, Harmony and I will go and gather food and firewood. We'll meet you back at dusk

While the boys gathered fruit and caught a couple of blue looking chickens for their dinner. Reiko rested the babies were still asleep dreaming of the day they would meet new people, or perhaps the amount of milk their mother carried for their dinner. By dusk all The Bugaloos were back home Courage and Harmony carried in a handmade cart full of fruit giant strawberries and apples, along with a fresh leaf sack full of water I.Q. carried in firewood and Melvin brought in the chickens then he cooked them on the fire the other Bugaloos built and planned to leave tomorrow early in the morning

Melvin and Reiko ate the chickens and drank the fresh water. Reiko also ate half of a giant strawberry. The Other Bugaloos couldn't kill animals so they ate the fruit. When Reiko was finished with her dinner, Her breasts full of milk. She turned her attention on her children and nursed them till they too grew full and tired from their adventure the Bugaloos and Reiko retired to bed

Just think Reiko, Courage smiled soon we'll be home

If only the night was relaxing. Loud cries from dinosaurs being devoured by the T rex filled the cave. Reiko grew frightened and threw herself upon Melvin who held her close. But just then loud hisses filled the cave

MELVIN Reiko cried struggling to fight off a giant lizard man who had come up behind her. The babies woke up and began to cry. Courage attacked with a light rock and the lizard men left. The boys weren't taking any chances now. They were leaving now with a sobbing shook up Reiko who continued holding her babies to her breast refusing to let go

There there Melvin soothed Reiko and at last with four men protecting her she fell back asleep, The babies too fell asleep. The morning sun was quite a welcome and Melvin cooked some eggs from a giant bird for Reiko for breakfast. Reiko still wanted to go home. While everyone ate breakfast the sleestaks appeared with their leader Enik

My name is Enik the Altruien the Sleestak lord smiled, I believe you would like to find the portal where you can come home

You bet ya yer little ole darling Harmony grumbled, 've been looking for a way ome fer 5 days

Why are your people attacking us in the middle of the night, Melvin shouted then looked lovingly at his wife who was nursing their children. You scared my wife to death

My people have meant no harm.. They wanted you to follow them.

Follow them Courage groaned but Enik stopped Courage's sentence before he could say any more

You're home is right in my cave Enik explained. Come with me!

ENIK's CAVE

Enik's cave was small and wet but pretty big enough for 6 adults. There in from of them was the portal home Seiko Sparky Joy and Benita Bizarre were seen through the portal's mirror. Benita's flunkies looked miserable, Even Benita looked depressed. Seiko Sparky and Joy kept shouting into the portal Courage, Melvin, Reiko, I.Q. and Harmony are you ok?

Upon hearing her cousin and Joy's voice Reiko called back in a weak voice. Im here, Im tired and my babies my babies are hungry

Joy and Seiko heard Reiko's voice, Reiko come home they cried "Jump thru the portal" You can do it

Go on Reiko Enik commanded he allowed his sleestaks to pass, Weakly Reiko trudged to the front of the portal and using every bit of strength through herself into the portal she appeared in Tranquility Forest dazed and confused but alive. Near her clinging to her breasts were the triplets. They had woken up from their deep sleep and began to cry. Benita Bizarre Joy, Seiko Sparky and baby Miko gathered around to gaze at the babes. Baby Elizabeth was only 5 days old and her blue eyes stared interesting at the strangers. Emily ceased crying and gurgled. Jonathan continued to cry.

Oh Reiko they're beautiful Seiko cooed Reiko smiled wearily it was worth it worth but Melvin, Melvin where was he?

Melvin, Courage I.Q. and Harmony were just leaving Land Of The Lost, Enik stepped Courage and I.Q aside and gave them a crystal necklace This is for protection, In case you should ever return now go and be with your family and friends

Melvin jumped through the portal at once It was good to be back in the forest. Courage I.Q. and Harmony followed. When everyone embraced each other and Benita Bizarre hugged Melvin. Melvin then looked at Reiko who was lying on Sparky's hammock sleeping. Their babies were held by Benita Bizarre and The Bugaloos.

Four weeks later Reiko was fully recovered, The babies now a month old were socialized by The Bugaloos and Benita, Benita tolerated Reiko's presence and that was enough for Reiko and Benita to have a truce

Benita spoiled the babies by attention and they all lived happily everafter
