With Penny, she got towards a tree and leaned against it to catch her breath. She said to herself, "So far, so good. Now I just need to find where Daddy and the others might be." She climbs up onto an overturned log to get a better look at the area; unfortunately, it's a bit too dark to get a clear view. "Hmm," she muses. "Maybe if I go on a little further."

The little girl traipses further into the forest; the woods are dark, and no sounds can be heard, save for the faint chirping of crickets and croaking of frogs. Penny gives a very audible shudder; she had never felt this scared, or alone before. A small tear escapes her eye. "Where are you, Daddy?"

Penny sits gently on the ground with her back against a tree; as she gazes up at the starry sky, she begins to sing:

"Do I miss you?

Count the stars,

Multiply by ten,

'Course I do, more than now and then,

I could paint a rainbow,

Shine the sky,

Set the stars in space,

Faster than explain how much I miss your face,

Watch the moon, someday soon,

He will start to smile,

When I say I'll see you in a while,

But 'til then I'll miss you,

Dry my tears,

Hide my fears away,

Until that happy day,

To the rainbow's end,

Is where I would go, my friend,

I do...

Miss you so."

Just then, she hears voices in the distance. Curious, she travels through the brush and sees the riverboat in the distance. Over at the riverboat, Medusa shouted, "PENNY! Where is that little brat?!"

With the group in searching, they hid in their spots and couldn't believe their ears. Mojo whispered to Rebecca, "It appears that Penny managed to escape." Rebecca sighed, "That's a good thing, but I hope that she's okay. The bayou's pretty dangerous at night with some gators that are possibly mean as those two, along with a couple of other dangers."

"Mmn," Mojo muses as a determined look crosses his face. "We'll need to hurry and find her before something bad happens."

"Good idea." Rebecca and Deanna reply, upon which they quickly begin to set off. Mojo accidentally turns too quickly and jostles a large shelf adorned with various items, causing it to rattle and clatter. He quickly dashes over and holds the shelf down, causing the noise to silence. "What was that?!" Medusa shouts. In a state of panic, the three quickly dash into a darkened room nearby. Medusa steps into the hallway and looks all around, but still sees nothing. She gives an irritated snort and traipses slowly back inside.

From their hiding place, the group breathe a hearty sigh of relief. "Pfew, that was close," Mojo notes with a tad of concern to his voice. "I'll have to be more careful."

"All is well, Sweetie." Rebecca replies consolingly.

As the three begin to quietly traipse off, they begin to overhear the crooks conversing again. "This is a fine situation," Medusa grumbles. "Not only is Penny gone, but now I'm beginning to think that there's someone suspicious in the boat!"

"Ohh, now what're we going to do?" Snively says worriedly.

"Don't worry, dear," Medusa says slyly. "If worse comes to worse, we'll simply call that witch doctor."

Snively shudders audibly. "Not him! His magic gives me the creeps!"

"Oh, grow up, will you?!" Medusa snaps. "He may be our only hope! Now, come on, fool, we've got no time to waste!"

From their hiding place, the group share disconcerted looks. "A witch doctor?" Deanna whispers. "Oh, we'll need to find Penny before they do!" Rebecca replies with much concern. Upon this, the three quickly hurry off.

In the marsh below, Penny overhears the baddies' conversation and shudders with fear. "Oh no, I hope they don't get me again!" Just then, she hears three familiar voices calling, "Penny!" "Oh, Senorita Penny!" and "Thbbht!" upon which she turns to see Billy, Arturo, and Grubber hurrying joyfully up to her, with a large swarm of fireflies hovering above them.

Penny ran into Billy's arms with a hug and said, "Billy! Grubber, Arturo, you guys found me! I'm so glad to see ya!"

"Aww, we're so glad to see you, too!" a very touched Billy and Arturo reply. "Pthbbht." razzes an equally touched Grubber.

"Oh! I almost forgot," Arturo reaches into his pocket and takes out Penny's locket, which he hands to her. "We found this back by the swamp." Penny beams as she fastens the locket back around her neck. "Thanks, Arturo."

At this moment, the fireflies and their dragonfly friend hover up to Penny. "Howdy, miss! Mah name's Jethro, 'n these here are mah kinfolk." Molly motions toward the dragonfly. "And this is our friend Frankie." Frankie buzzes a happy hello as he hovers up to the little girl. Penny giggles as his shimmery wings tickle her chin. "I'm very pleased to meet you all."

A concerned look then crosses Penny's face. "I have some bad news, though. I overheard Medusa and Snively saying that they were still looking for us and were going to call a witch doctor." The group's eyes grow large. "A-a-a witch doctor?" Billy stammers. "W-w-w-with scary magic?"

"Ay caramba, our amigos could be in real danger!" Arturo despairs.

"Thbbht." Grubber razzes worriedly.

An angry look crosses Jethro's face. "We-all're quite fermilliar with that-there witch doctor. He's mighty dangerous ta be sure." Frankie gives an angry buzz. "Please don't worry, friends," June says consolingly as she hovers up to the group. "We's-all will help ya find yer friends in two shakes of a jackrabbit's tail."

"We won't let nothin' bad happen." adds Rick.

The group exchange relieved smiles. "Gee, thanks, friends," a grateful Billy replies. "We really appreciate you." Jethro smiles. "Y'all quite welcome." Upon this, the group then set off again with the fireflies leading the way.
