A piece of nonsense- I tried to swing a piece of Fruit by the Foot with my mouth like they do in the commercials. So did my best friend Julie, my little cousin Stephanie, and my little sister Alison. We all failed and collapsed laughing.

(This chapter written by Jessi the Fangirl)

Ace collapsed on the couch, exhausted, and watched Jacovie and Zakia chase each other around. (Jessica had given up trying to trip Jacovie half an hour ago.) Zakia seemed have forgotten all about Kaitlyn with the appearance of new friends.

What am I going to do? Ace thought. All I have are two lunatics, one missing dog-girl…and one normal person. Although Jessica wasn't really 'normal' either: she whacked Jacovie upside the head when he suggested that they toss her Bugs Bunny doll in the washing machine. She was now trying to scrub the doll's ear clean, despite sufficient evidence that the ice cream was gone. The doll seemed to wear an annoyed expression.

"Tag! You're it!" shouted Jacovie, tagging Zakia(and nearly falling down in the process).

"No fair!" she yelled, and reached to tag him back.

Jessica looked up. "Who tagged who now?"

The insane friends ignored her as they continued to waste energy on their game, and she merely shook her head and continued to scrub her bunny's ear absentmindedly. She did this for a few minutes before noticing another lonely bunny, sitting on the couch.

"Um…hi."

Ace jumped and turned. Jessica grinned sheepishly and waved.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you…"

"That's okay," Ace replied. "I'm…just nervous."

"Why?" she asked as she seated herself next to him.

"Well…see, Zakia came here only a few days ago before you did, and she came with another girl, Kaitlyn…and she was kidnapped just a few hours ago," said Ace.

"Um…why isn't Zakia looking for her then?"

"Well…you guys just landed in our ice cream…"

"Oh, sorry 'bout that. Um…where's everyone else?"

Ace raised one eyebrow. "'Everyone else'?"

Jessica rummaged around in a messenger bag she was carrying, averting her eyes. "Like…the other Loonatics."

"Of to Siriu's family reunion. I can't believe they would just leave like that!" Ace said. "Why d'ya ask?" he added.

""No reason, no reason…" Jessica mumbled, pulling out a small book with Disney characters on it, and a pen. "Can…I have your autograph?"

Ace blinked. But as he opened his mouth to respond, a crash came out of nowhere. The pair on the couch leapt up, searching frantically for the source of the noise.

"Um…Jacovie? Are you okay?" Zakia asked, poking the boy, who was now sprawled on the floor.

"Ow! I think I'm bleeding…" Jacovie muttered. He looked at his hand, which was collecting all the blood that dripped from his cut arm. "Yeah…not good."

In the midst of everything, a shuriken (or a ninja star, in plain ol' English) was revolving in the air, floating a few inches above the floor, one point shining red, indicating where it had cut. A hologram sputtered to life, and a hooded figure appeared above the shuriken.

"Testing…one, two, three…hey, answer."

Silence.

"Hey, I know someone's there. Answer!"

"Just detonate it if they won't talk," another voice shouted, apparently off-screen.

"Hey, wait!" Zakia crouched down, peering at the low-quality of the hologram. "Who are you?"

"Oh, now you talk…" the figure replied sarcastically. "I'm going to assume you're…Zakia? And don't ask how I know," it added.

"Alright…whaddya want?" Ace asked, crouching down as well.

"Just a few questions…like, why haven't you come looking for your friend yet?"

"Hi, Zakia!" Kaitlyn pushed the hooded figure off, and waved at the four staring at the shuriken. "Guess what? I got a Care Bear!"

"There's…one hanging off your elbow…" noted Jacovie hesitantly, pointing at the pink teddy-like thing that was gnawing on Kaitlyn's elbow.

"Oh…that would explain why my arm's feeling like it's falling asleep…"

"Enough! How, in the name of Matoré, did you escape!?" the figure shouted as it stumbled back into the hologram.

"With the power of..um…CARE BEARS!" shouted Kaitlyn as she ran off.

"Can I kill them now, please?"

"No, Raven. And why is there a pool of multi-colored cute things in the dungeon?"

"Why are you asking me?" was the last thing they heard before the shuriken imploded, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes.

Silence again.

"Hey, can someone help me with my arm?" Jacovie asked. "It's kinda dripping blood."

When I bring Bugs into the bathroom and make him look in the mirror, I go, 'Go on, look,' and then, he'll look…really, really annoyed. Really! His reflection was annoyed! Seriously! That's kinda freaky, seeing as he's a doll.

Doom comes in pairs! Which is why I put me and Jacovie in there together(I think)!

Sorry for the delay.
