CHAPTER 14: Where They Are

"Sonic?" Eddy asked.

"That's me, alright." the blue hedgehog replied.

"Well, it was a good thing you saved or lives. For now." said Mandy. Sonic kinda stepped back from her.

"Anywho, I'll tell you what happened."

Timmy groaned irritatedly. "Oh great, another flashback."

"It was a few hours ago." Sonic started as the flashback did too. "I was outside, running home as fast as I could. Then I saw you guys, screaming for your lives. Just about you were gonna hit the ground, a ran in a flash and picked y'all up at the same time." FB ends.

"Then what was that 'thud' we heard?" asks Jimmy.

"Tails unloading the boxes in the other room. Or that could have been for dramatic seuqence." Spooky music plays in the background. "I forget which."

"Thank you Sonic." Abby said. "For saving our lives."

"Eh, it was no big"
"Are we in another cave?" Jimmy asked again, seeing that Sonic was holding a lanturn and was very dark.

"No. The lights went out due to the storm."

"Hey, I thought no one else expect for us left ToonTown." said Eddy.

"I have my ways." Sonic replied. The electricity went finally on. The kids and Sonic were in a patient's room.

"I wondered why it smelled..." Mandy trailed off.

"I couldn't have also done it with nurses Cosmo and Wanda."

"Cosmo? Wanda?" Jimmy blurted out. Just then Cosmo and Wanda, both in nurses outfits, entered the room.

"Glad we can help." said Wanda.

"Wanda? Cosmo? What are you guys doing here?" Timmy questioned.

"Um..." the fairies looked at each other nervously.

"Since you've been hanging out with your friends, we decided to make some money." Wanda explained.

"By working in an hospital?" said Mandy.

"Yeah! Look at all the money we make!" Then Cosmo poofed up some money and showed it in her face. She takes it away.

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Hey! It's part time!" Then he looks at Jimmy. "Hey! I didn't know fudge-head lived in ToonTown!"

"First, it's Timmy dear." corrects Wanda. "Second, he's been here for weeks!"

"Oh yeah. I forgot."

Timmy stared at them. "How do you..."

"Do you guys wanna stay here for the night, or go outside?" questioned Sonic.

"Stay here! There ain't no way I'm goin' out in that cold furious weather!" Eddy replied.

"I am still hungry." Abby moaned.

"Don't worry. I got you." Jimmy said confortly as he hugged his girlfriend. The rest looked in awe and strangeness.

"Aww, it's so cute." Wanda cooed.

"And oddly creepy." Cosmo added.

"Do you guys mind?" Jimmy and Abby ask, a bit angrily. Sonic turns off the lights.

It was the same weather as the rocket flew. Luckily the kids placed down a sunroof (you may call it) to not have the rain inside the rocket.

"This is just great!" Cindy growled. "The weather's bad, we're hungry and tired, and..."

"We're lost." Libby finished.

"We're not lost! The auto-pilot is working just fine!"

"Then how come the auto-pilot is damaged?" Sheen asked, pointing to where a sign said auto-pilot is wreaked up.

Cindy looks at it too. "For how long?"

"Five seconds ago."

Suddenly the ship stops and drops straight down like in a regular cartoon. Libby, Goddard, Carl, Sheen and Cindy yell.

"I wasn't prepared for this!" Carl exclaimed. Goddard barked in agreement.

-----

Numbuh 4 was in his pajamas.

"Ah, another successful mission. Numbuh 5 would have loved it!" he sighed. "Too bad she's gone."

Then a BOOM is heard outside. Numbuh 4 ran as Numbuhs 1, 2, and 3 met him.

"Operatives! What happened?" asked Numbuh 1.

"We don't know. We just woke up and heard a crash outside." Numbuh 2 replied as he yawned.

"Let's check it out!" Numbuh 3 suggested.

"Good idea, Numbuh 3." said Numbuh 1. The four Sector V members went outside and see that Jimmy's rocket had crashed their treehouse! Cindy adn her gang walked out, dazed.

"Where are we?" questioned Cindy. She turned to Numbuh 1, still the leader of the group.

"Who are you supposed to be?" adds Libby.

"How can you not reconize? They're the Kids Next Door!" Sheen shouted.

"Yeees. That's us all right." Numbuh 1 said.

"Can we get out of this rain now?" asks Numbuh 3, shivering.

"Yep." responded Numbuh 4 as Goddard starts to rust.

Later...

"So who are you guys anyway?" asks Numbuh 1 as he drinks his hot cocoa and a blanket around him. The rest do too.

"Well we crash landed in this place. I'm Cindy. That's Libby, Carl and Goddard." said Cindy.

"And I'm Sheen!" Sheen adds.

"Why are you guys out here?" Numbuh 3 questioned.

"We were trying to find our friend, Jimmy." Carl replied.

"Jimmy?"

"Yeah. He was gone for weeks. We think that he's in a place called ToonTown."

Numbuh 2 spitted out his cocoa in shock. "ToonTown?!"

"Yes, ToonTown!" Cindy snapped. "Why what's the matter?"

"Our fellow operative, Numbuh 5, has been gone for months! And by a news interruption, ToonTown has been filling up. But no one knows where ToonTown really is."

"And we think she's there, too. I can feel it." said Numbuh 3.

"Since we have a robotic dog on our side with a radar track of its owner, I think we can find it." said Libby firmed.

"If your dog can do that, we can get our friends back!" Numbuh 1 turned to Numbuh 2. "Numbuh 2, fix up the rocket. It's finally time."

"Where are we going?" asked Danny. The storm has mostly stopped.

"A friend." Stan replied. They stopped at the Elementry school. "Mario, it's me!"

The video game character stepped out from the darkness.

"Stan-o-boy! What brings you and your little friends out here?" Mario asked in his Italian accent.

"You know Mario?" Sora asks Stan.

"What'd you expect? He's the janitor here." Kyle replied.

"Right indeed." said Mario.

"Look, June, Gaz, Jenny and Betty have been missing and Tommy thinks Bart and his gang kidnapped them." Kenny muffled explained.

"Can you help us yo?" asked Jake.

"Why of course I can!" Mario said. "That explains the school basement."

"School basement? What about it?" questions Tommy.

"I walked down there a-day and saw the ladies you mentioned being held. They look like that of course."

"Down in the school basement?" said Danny wondering. "Can you get us down there?"

"Of a-course. I got the key to every part of this here school building. However..."

"However what?" Stan asks.

"The principal has installed a laser shield to the basement door. Bart and his pals must have a-code."

"Oh no." groaned Danny. "Not now..."
