American Dragon: Haley Long (Season One)
Chapter/Episode 10: It's Halloween, Haley Long!
Haley sighed as she walked down the stairs from the roof and into the back room, where both Fu Dog and Lu Dog were sitting on the couch, looking bored. Haley made her way over to the couch and plopped down, releasing one more, longer sigh. "I hate Halloween..." she could hear Lu Dog whining.
Haley groaned as she heard Fu Dog say something; she was not in the mood to listen to the two dogs bicker. Fortunately, before the argument could really become annoying to Haley, the young American Dragon could see her dragon master, Korean Dragon Sun Park, enter the room.
"I need to get ready for tonight..." Sun told Haley as she walked over to the wall, right by the power switch on the wall.
"What for?" Haley asked. "Are you leaving tonight?"
"Of course not..." Sun answered as she pulled open the door that showed her all of the controls. "I just need to put up the force field. I hate Halloween; all of those kids think it's funny to harass the shop. So, I put up the shield..." Sun then put her hand to the button and pressed it, only to jump back with surprise as a spark came from the panel.
"Sun, what happened?" Haley jumped up from the couch, only to sit back down as Sun turned around, an annoyed look on her face.
"Lu Dog, did you do something?" Sun demanded calmly.
"No..." Lu said innocently, honestly.
Sun just looked at the golden and nodded, her gaze upon her softening, only hardening once again as she looked at the shar-pei sitting next to her. "Fu?" Fu Dog just stared back blankly at the Korean Dragon, as if he was trying to remember something...
FLASHBACK
It was dark all throughout Canal Street Electronics. Lu Dog was sleeping peacefully on the couch while Fu was curled up on the seat of a small stool, which was placed right by the wall and the open electrical panel.
The shar-pei moaned in his sleep as he tried to uncurl himself. There was this feeling inside of him, one that he thought was going to kill himself. He had to release himself from this pressure.
Slowly getting up to his feet, Fu moaned with relief as he started to lift his hind leg...
END FLASHBACK
Fu's eyes widened as he remembered what had happened, and he realized what he had done. As he stared at Sun, he found that the only thing he could do was laugh nervously. Sun's eyes widened in disgust as she took one more look at the panel. "Haley..." Sun said calmly, although Haley knew that her master was fighting the urge not to scream at Fu. "Take Lu Dog for a walk, and don't come back for a while. Don't question your dragon master, Haley..."
"Alright, Sun..." Haley said as Lu Dog hopped off of the couch and followed her out of the room.
LINE BREAK
A couple of seconds later, Haley exited the shop, holding Lu on her leash. The dragon and animal guardian started to walk down the sidewalk, when it finally happened. Sun Park uncharacteristically shouted: "FU DOG!", and then what followed, was an all too familiar series of rants, only in Korean.
BLACKOUT; PLAY THEME SONG
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley shivered slightly as she crossed the street, walking Lu Dog. The sun had been down for about an hour, and now lit pumpkins were the only things beside the street lights that were allowing people outside to see. Young kids were not out, going door-to door and were now getting candy. Lu Dog looked excited. "So, this is what Halloween is all about?" she asked.
"You didn't know what Halloween was about?" Haley asked, looking down at the dog.
"Of course not!" Lu barked back. "I'm a dog!"
Before Haley could respond, she suddenly screamed in surprise and jumped a couple of inches into the air before she whirled around, coming face-to-face with a chuckling girl who was wearing a long, white robe that looked like it was supposed to be the "body" of a ghost, but wore a hockey mask over her face with a tight black hood over her head, hiding her hair. "Happy Halloween, Haley..." the girl spoke as she removed the hockey mask.
"Hello, Leah..." Haley replied after a moment. "Did you really have to do that?"
"Well, Halloween is about scaring people, right?" Leah asked Haley. "Don't you think? Or do you think it's all about the candy?"
"The candy..." Haley replied slowly.
"Glad you think so!" Leah smiled at her. "Then I suppose you remember the plans we made for tonight? Trick-or-treating? I mean, we can get away with it; we're not too old. Other people in our class still do it..."
"Not the cool people..." a cruel female voice came from behind Leah. Haley groaned in annoyance, Lu growled and Leah turned around and they all stared at Sierra Tatlock, and her two cohorts, Olivia Mears and Dena Mahen. "Isn't that right, you two?" Sierra grinned cruelly.
"Don't you have some pumpkins to smash?" Haley growled as she stared at the girl's costume, which was a big, muscular dragon with sharp claws with fake droplets of blood on the tipe. There was a hood part of the costume, which showed the dragon's head (no doubt it was exaggerated and showed the stereotypical monstrous beast a dragon was seen as), but it was lowered so that Haley could see Sierra's just as (if not more) monstrous face. "Or perhaps some candy to steal?"
Olivia, who was dressed as a ballerina, laughed at Haley's comment, but Dena came to Sierra's defense. "Don't listen to the dragon, Sierra..."
Haley stared at Dena's costume, and she wasn't really surprised to see that her costume was merely her cheerleading uniform. "Original costume, Dena..." she rolled her eyes as she spoke sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Dena snapped, and then she mumbled: "It's the only time my mother won't see me as a..." But before Haley could hear what Dena was about to say, Olivia spoke up.
"Haley..." she said. "You'll never be as cool as us..."
"Now, not so fast, Olivia..." Sierra smiled at her friend. "They could be as cool as us. Do you want to be as cool as us?"
"Not really..." both Haley and Leah declared.
"Oh..." If Sierra looked shocked, she was able to hide it. "Alright then...Well, then I guess you don't want a Halloween adventure..."
"Not really..." Haley and Leah said in unison once more.
"Oh..." Sierra smiled again. "Well then, I guess you don't mind if we tell the entire school that you two girls are cowards who are afraid of a little haunted house..."
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog was still backed up against the wall in the back room of Canal Street Electronics after Sun had gotten mad at him. He must have had a very shocked look on his face, for when Sun re-entered the room, she froze when she saw the dog backed up. "You don't have to act like that anymore..." the Korean Dragon told him.
Fu Dog breathed a sigh of relief as he heard this, and he made his way over to Sun as she spoke again. "But you are going to do something for me, Fu..."
"Sure!" Fu offered. "Anything you want! I'll do it!"
"You're going to watch over to make sure that nobody vandalizes the shop..."
LINE BREAK
Sierra, Dena and Olivia all grinned cruelly as they approached an old building on top of a hill in the city. Sierra grinned as she turned her head and watched as Haley and Lu Dog slowly made their way up the hill, closely followed by Leah. Haley had an angry look on her face, while Leah looked exhausted. Haley turned her attention to Leah and shot her a nasty glare. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Haley asked. "Sun always taught me that-"
"I'm positive that I want to do this, Haley..." Leah told her before she turned to look at Sierra. "On one condition: You stop making fun of Haley..."
Sierra smiled slightly, while Dena and Olivia both looked shock. "I wouldn't have it any other way..." Sierra told Leah. "So, why don't you all go inside. I'll tell you what: I'll even get the door for you."
Sierra then turned, and, working with Olivia, pulled open a wooden door to the shack. The door creaked as it opened, and Haley could spot dust falling as it opened all the way. "Well, are you going to go inside?" Olivia smiled.
Haley and Leah both looked at each other before they started walking into the shack. As soon as the two girls and the golden retriever had stepped inside, Sierra stood in the doorway, smiling at them. "Well, for our deal to hold, you have to spend at least one hour inside..."
"You can still step out if you feel like a chicken..." Dena smiled in a mock sweet manner.
"I don't think so..." Haley growled after looking at Leah. Sierra chuckled as she grabbed hold of the door and slowly closed it shut. Then, the two girls and Lu were in darkness. Then, the room lit up as Haley blew a fireball into her hands. Haley looked around and groaned when she noticed how nervous Leah now looked. "Leah, don't tell me that you now think your idea was bad..."
"It was bad..." Leah mumbled quickly.
Haley groaned again at her friend. "I can't believe you!" Haley exclaimed.
LINE BREAK
Back outside the shack, Dena and Olivia looked at Sierra with shocked expressions. "You didn't really mean what you said..." Dena asked slowly. "...about leaving Haley alone, did you?"
"Of course not!" Sierra turned to face her friends again. "I just said that to get them to go inside..." Then, Sierra turned and started to walk down the hill. "Come on! They can spend the night in there for all I care..."
LINE BREAK
Back inside the shack, Leah gave a panicked sigh. "M...May...Mayb...Maybe it's not too late to get out of here..." As Leah spoke, Lu Dog looked down at the floor of the shack, hearing a creaking as she shifted her weight from one paw to the other. It was then that Leah bolted for the door.
"No!" Lu suddenly barked. "It can't stand that kind of weight!"
But it was too late. As Leah put her foot down on the floor, it caved in, and Leah screamed as she fell through. Haley and Lu Dog could only stare in shock as the entire floor started to give. Then, they too, fell...
BLACKOUT; CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
More kids had come outside by the time Sun Park stepped out of the shop, followed by Fu Dog. Sun had been carrying a jacket, and she spoke as she slipped it on. "I'll be back as soon as I can. You can watched over here for a few hours, right?" Sun said "right" in a very accusatory manner, making Fu feel worried.
"Of course I can, Sun..." Fu replied. "You can count on me!"
"I don't doubt you, Fu..." Sun told him as she waved her arms, transforming into her dragon form. Then, she took off...
LINE BREAK
Haley groaned as she rolled over onto her stomach after she landed from her fall. It was even darker than it was in the shack before the floor caved in, and the only reason Haley knew Lu Dog was still beside her was because she could feel Lu's warm fur. "Leah?" Haley called as she sat up. "Leah, can you hear me?"
There was a beat before she could hear her friend. "Haley, where are you?" Leah asked.
"Don't worry..." Haley called, as she held her hands out, blowing a fireball into them. Once she could see, Haley sighed with relief as she saw Leah sitting in a corner on the other side. "Why don't you come over here?" Haley advised. Leah nodded quickly, and the girl scrambled over to Haley. "Well..." Haley continued. "It looks like we might be here for a while..."
"What about your dragon powers?" Lu asked. "I think now would be a good time to use them..."
"Alright..." Haley nodded, and she started to stand, but almost immediately, she fell back down with a scream of pain. "My leg!" Haley exclaimed. "It hurts!" As Haley sat back down, Leah panicked even more, and she was now shaking.
"Wh...What are we going t...to do n...no...now?" Leah asked.
"Well, I don't know about you..." Lu spoke, closing her eyes as she spoke. "But whenever I got scared, my brother Ru would tell me a story to help me calm down..."
"A story?" Leah asked. "How is that supposed to calm me down?"
"At least I'm trying to help!" Lu Dog barked. "Unlike you, who got us trapped in the first place!"
"Stop it!" Haley shouted, putting her arms out between the two. "Both of you! Getting at each other's throats won't help us!" Then, she took a deep as she tried to calm herself. "Alright, a story-I'll try..." Then, she smiled. "I've got one! It's a story my mom told me on the first Halloween after humans found out about magical creatures. Alright..."
"The humans were completely accepting of the magical creatures living amongst them..." Haley narrated. "In fact, one of the dragons got along well with a very important person...the mayor's son..."
On the streets of New York, a teenage girl laughed as she sped on a skateboard next to a teenage boy. The girl had long brown hair that was tied behind her head in a ponytail; she looked strong for her age and wore baggy jeans and a pink tank-top. The boy on the other hand, had short blonde hair and wore a dress shirt and pants. When the girl saw that the boy was passing her, she grinned as two dark pink wings came out of her back; flapping her wings, the girl sped past him, and she stopped at the crosswalk, grinning as the boy met up with her. "I win!" she declared proudly.
"Well done, Ally..." the boy smiled as he took off his helmet. "Although...I don't think it's fair that you used your dragon powers against someone who doesn't have powers..."
"Whoa, hold on!" Leah suddenly piped, up, making Haley stop talking and turn her attention to her friend. "You said this was a Halloween story. How is this a Halloween story?"
"I was getting there..." Haley replied. "Anyway, everyone seemed to be happy with the way things were going. Well, not everyone..."
As the two friends laughed, a woman watched from the roof of a nearby building. And when she saw the two shaking hands, she gagged with disgust, the woman turned around, only she was not a woman. She was actually a witch, with green skin and grey hair and black robes. The witch scowled as she walked over to a bubbling cauldron, with nothing next to it except a carved jack-o-lantern that was glowing with a fire on a candle. "How dare they?" the witch growled. "Well, I'll show them..." she added as she stood in front of her cauldron and started to stir.
"And how do you plan to do that?" a new voice asked. The witch turned her head and stared at the jack-o-lantern. "Well?" the voice came again, the light from the pumpkin's candle flashing green. The jack-o-lantern was talking to her.
"You'll see..." the Witch told the jack-o-lantern. "I have a plan...a wonderful plan..."
"Wonderful like bringing me back?" the pumpkin spoke. "Then I know you will fail..."
Haley stopped speaking, and she looked at Leah, who looked confused. "Her pumpkin could talk?" Leah asked. "How is that possible? And what was he saying? I'm so confused."
"Well, according to my mom..." Haley told her friend. "...the humans killed her warlock husband, or whatever he was. The witch placed all of her power and all of her spells into the pumpkin and was able to bring him back. But at a price...And if you want to know, I have to continue. Do you want to hear the rest of the story?"
"Yes..."
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog paced in front of Canal Street Electronics, an alert look on his face. He had to keep the shop safe. Sun was counting on him. "You know..." Fu stopped and talked to himself. "This actually isn't so bad. It's actually kind of easy..."
But unfortunately, the shar-pei had spoken too soon. Suddenly, something whizzed past Fu's head and splattered all over the wall of the shop. Looking at the mess, Fu could see that it was an egg; and then, hearing laughter, Fu turned his head to see a boy of about fifteen, who had a buzz-cut and a nose piercing who was wearing a completely black, skin-tight costume that had rubber bones in the front. "Yes!" the skeleton boy exclaimed as he turned around. "I did it! I egged the shop belonging to the dragon lady! Yes!"
Fu half expected to see a small group of his friends coming to congratulate him, because it sounded like he had just completed a dare. That was why the shar-pei was surprised to see the skeleton boy turn around and reach into a trick-or-treat bag he held in his hand. Before Fu knew what was going on, the skeleton boy threw something, and is shattered the front door.
"Hey!" Fu growled. "You can't do this, kid! This is vandalism! Stop it!"
"Oh, and some talking dog is gonna make me?" the punk kid smiled as he reached into bag and started to pull out something. "I've been wanting to do this for years, but that stupid shield was up! Now that it's not, no talking dog will stop me!"
LINE BREAK
"So..." Haley continued her story. "The Witch waited until Halloween to unleash her plan..."
The Witch cackled as she pulled her ladle out of her cauldron. "That should just about do it..." She cackled again. "And now...humans and magical creatures shall never again get along again..." With one final cackle, the Witch pushed at her cauldron, stopping at the edge of the cauldron. "Yes..." the Witch chuckled evilly as she tipped the cauldron over, spilling the potion.
The potion hovered in the air after it left the cauldron. After a couple of seconds, the potion evaporated in the air, leaving behind smoke, which was carried away by the wind. The Witch grinned.
LINE BREAK
Meanwhile, Ally and the mayor's son were walking down the streets amongst a bunch of little kids in costumes. "I miss being a little kid..." Ally smiled at her friend. "And trick-or-treating...Do you, Mark?"
Her friend, Mark, turned his head toward her and shrugged. "I don't know..." he said honestly. "Being a teenager has its advantages as well, don't you think?"
"I guess..." Ally responded after a moment of thinking. Then, she turned her head to look at Mark, but that was when it happened. The smoke blew their way, and Mark, as well as all of the kids in the area just froze in place as they inhaled the smoke. "Mark..." Ally spoke, waving her hand in front of his face, up and down. "Mark, are you okay?" She asked. "Mark, what is-AAAHHHH!"
Ally suddenly let out a howl of pain as her body started to morph out of her control. Her screams stopping, Ally fell onto the ground; panting, Ally sat up, only to realize that she was in full dragon form. Ally looked at herself in shock; she did not have any idea how this had happened. But Ally was drawn from her shock when she heard groaning coming from all those around her. Staring in shock, Ally watched as all of the human started to come right for her. "What's going on?" Ally jumped up. "Please, just tell me!"
"You are no longer welcome here any longer..." Mark groaned, and Ally's eyes widened. "Get her! We'll force her to leave!" Mark added, and the next thing Ally knew, all of them were coming toward her. Her eyes widening even more, Ally lifted off of the ground and flew away, completely unaware of the Witch watching her from the roof of a house.
LINE BREAK
Fu growled as he watched the skeleton boy hold a hard rock in his hand. "Why don't you just leave, dog?" the punk smiled. "You don't want to get hurt, do you?"
"No, I think the better question is 'Do you want to get hurt?'" Fu growled back. "You should leave now..." The skeleton boy just stared at Fu for a moment before he growled, taking the rock in his hand and throwing it at the shop.
Thinking quickly, Fu jumped up just as the rock was by him. Fu lowered his head, lifting it up just in time, hitting the rock like a bat would hit a baseball. The rock went flying back to the skeleton boy and hit him of the forehead. The skeleton boy stumbled back, but he soon caught himself and growled. "You'll pay for that, mutt!" he roared.
Then, Fu Dog's eyes widened as he saw the skeleton boy coming right for him. Yelping, Fu turned his back and fled into the shop...
BLACKOUT: CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley sat in the dark, cold hole back at the shack along with Lu Dog and Leah. Haley looked down at her hands and was surprised to see that the fire in her hands was slowly starting to die out. Sighing, Haley looked up at Leah, who looked rather scared now that the light was starting to go out. "So..." Haley spoke. "Should I finish the story before the fire goes out and we're trapped in the dark?"
"Oh, come on Haley..." Lu groaned. "We all know that you can just blow out another one..."
"Actually, I don't think I can..." Haley admitted. "I'm pretty tired. But I'll try to finish the story. Okay...Ally had fled..."
Ally was panting by the time she got she got back to her house. Still in dragon form, Ally closed her front door and slid down so that she was sitting down. After catching her breath, Ally stood up and started to walk around the house. "Mom? Dad?" she called. "Where are you? I think we have a problem!"
Surprisingly, there was no answer, and Ally was starting to get worried. Ally was just about to go upstairs when she heard a pounding at her door. "Ally, come on out!" Mark called. Panicking, Ally turned and flew up the steps before closing the door to her room. Ally made her way to the window and slid it open, flying up to her roof. Ally walked over to the edge and looked down, now being able to see Mark and the other humans.
Mark stopped his pounding at the door and stared up to her. Then, he spoke: "Build a ladder! We'll get to her!"
Ally's eyes widened in horror as the other humans started to climb onto each other, making a ladder of humans. Trying to look away from the inevitable, Ally looked beyond the ladder, only to gasp when she saw that more humans were coming toward her house.
"What is going on?" Ally asked, not expecting an answer. However, she soon found her answer in the form of a loud cackle in the night. The next thing Ally knew, a broom had landed on her roof, and an old witch got off of it. The Witch grinned at Ally, and as Ally got a better look at the witch, she could see that there was a jack-o-lantern in her hands.
"Greetings, my child..." the Witch smiled at Ally, making the young dragon back up with fright.
"What's going on?" Ally managed to make out.
"It's okay, child..." the Witch spoke, her grin widening as she spoke. "It's just those nasty humans. They're nothing but trouble. They destroyed my husband, you know...They need to be stopped..."
"Stopped?"
"Destroyed, actually..." the jack-o-lantern spoke, and Ally just about fainted.
"I'm afraid my jack-o-lantern friend is right..." the Witch took another step toward Ally, making Ally take another step back. Ally's eyes suddenly widened even more as she realized where she was; throwing her head back, Ally could see that she was teetering on the side of the roof. Ally then turned her head back as she noticed a new presence on the roof; Ally could see Mark and rest of the humans now on the roof.
"Quickly, child!" The Witch urged. "Now is not the time to play games! I must destroy them in order to save you from their wrath!"
Ally just stared at the Witch, and she suddenly growled. "You did this, didn't you?"
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog scrambled into the shop, turning around the corner into the back room just as he heard the bell ringing as the door it was placed over opened. Then, the skeleton boy stormed into the shop. Fu hid behind a wall as he heard the boy growl: "Where are you, ya stupid dog?"
Fu then decided to try his luck; Fu could hear the dog tags attached to his collar jingling as he ran for the bookshelf on the other side of the room.
The skeleton boy must have heard Fu, for he turned and stormed into the room. "Don't think that I didn't hear that, ya mutt!" the boy growled, but it was too late; Fu Dog had jumped on top of the bookshelf.
Fu watched as the skeleton boy walked around the room, kicking things over and breaking other objects. "Where are you?" the boy growled again, then he turned and stared at the bookshelf; before Fu knew it, the boy looked up and their eyes met. "Well..." the boy smiled. "Maybe I'll just knock you down..."
The skeleton boy started to come over to the shelf, but he suddenly stopped as the front door of the shop opened, and Sun Park entered. "Fu?" she asked as she stepped into the room, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the boy.
That was when Fu Dog chose to act. Kicking his feet off of the wall, Fu jumped to the floor as the bookshelf tipped over. The skeleton boy looked up just in time to see it coming down on him, and then it was too late.
As the skeleton boy found his lower body pinned down by the shelf, Fu slowly made his way over to Sun, who appeared to not have recovered from the shock at the moment. "Fu..." she managed to say. "What just happened?"
"I was protecting the shop..." Fu responded, turning his attention to the skeleton boy as the punk tried to free himself from the shelf, only to give up and lie back down on the floor, panting heavily.
LINE BREAK
"You did this, didn't you?" Ally asked once more as she stared at the Witch. "You did this! I know you did!"
"Of course I did it!" The Witch cackled. "I just couldn't sit back and watch the magical creatures of the world get along with humans!"
Ally found herself shaking her head. "No..." She begged. "You don't have to do this. Magical creatures and humans should get along! They may have destroyed your husband, but...are you really going to sink down to their level?"
The Witch just stared at her for a moment before she replied. "I'm a witch. What do you expect?"
"Well, I'm not going to let you..." Ally growled. "Change them back...or I'll make you do it..." To prove that she meant business, Ally put her claws up. "Please just make the right choice..."
"I already have..." The Witch cackled as she turned, staring right at the group of humans, more still climbing onto the roof. Holding up her sharp-nailed hands, the Witched aimed right for the humans.
"No!" Thinking quickly, Ally lifted off of the ground and slammed into the Witch before she could attack the humans. As the Witch fell forward, Ally grabbed hold of the jack-o-lantern and landed on the ground. The Witch groaned as she slowly stood, but then her eyes widened and she growled.
"Give him back to me!" The Witch screeched. "Give them back! I'm powerless without him!"
"Good..."
"I guess you just don't get it, child..." the Witch stood her ground. "Without him, I cannot reverse the spell. Give him back to me..."
"If I give him back to you, will you reverse your spell?"
"I'll do whatever you want if you give him back to me..." Ally was surprised to find that there was no longer any desperation in the Witch's voice. "Fine..." Ally finally caved, tossing the pumpkin back to the Witch. The Witch smiled evilly as she caught the jack-o-lantern and held it in her hands.
"Thank you, child..." she smiled. "But unfortunately, I lied!" The Witch then cackled once more as she held out one of her hands, which started to spark with a dark magic. "And now, you shall be destroyed as well!"
Ally's jaw dropped as the Witch's hands started to spark. Growling, Ally lifted off of the ground and slammed her tail into the Witch. The Witch screeched as she went flying backwards, her blast of dark magic hitting the roof of the house instead of Ally. Ally watched as the Witch slammed to the roof, her jack-o-lantern slipping from her hands and falling from the roof. Seconds later, Ally could hear a splat, and immediately afterward, the Witch let out an ear-splitting screech as she bolted into a sitting position. "My power!" She screeched. "I'm weak! AAHH!"
Ally then watched in horror as the Witch's green skin on her hands and face started to melt away, until the Witch was completely gone. The only remains were her black robes and her pointed hat, which also were gone as soon as the wind picked up; dragging them away.
Ally turned her attention away from the destroyed witch when she heard groaning coming from the humans behind her. Reverting to her human form, Ally turned around to see that everyone there looked completely confused. Mark seemed to ask the question that was on everyone else's mind. "How did we get here?" Then he noticed his friend. "Ally?"
"I don't really think it matters..." Ally said as she walked up to him. "Let's just say that you had a very weird night..."
"Okay..." Mark didn't seem satisfied by this. "But will you tell me tomorrow?"
Ally stopped in her tracks, and she seemed to think about this. "Alright..." She finally agreed. "Tomorrow..."
Haley finished telling the story and immediately realized that the fire in her hand was now nothing more than a faint flicker. However, Leah no longer seemed concerned by this. "So, what was the point of the story?" she asked.
"Well..." Haley decided to answer. "My mom told me that it meant that no matter how long it takes, people will always come around. She told me that humans will come to accept magical creatures. She just said it will take some time..."
LINE BREAK
Sun Park stepped out of Canal Street Electronics and into the cool night. She had no idea what had just happened inside while she was gone, and she had a feeling that she didn't want to know. Suddenly, she realized something. "Hey Fu..." she called, and in a moment, Fu Dog stepped out of the shop.
"Yeah, Sun?"
"Have you seen or heard from Haley and Lu?"
"No..."
Sun nodded as Fu Dog walked back inside of the shop. Reaching into the pocket of her coat, Sun pulled out her communication device...
LINE BREAK
Back in the shack, Haley, Leah and Lu Dog all stared at the fire in Haley's hands as it slowly died away. "How long do you think it will take for investigators to find our remains?" Leah suddenly asked, only to get a look from both Haley and Lu. "What? It's possible..."
"We aren't going to be trapped down here forever..." Haley told her, but even she was struggling to keep the fear out of her tone. "We'll find a way to get out of here..."
"How?" Lu asked. "Your leg is hurt!" But before Lu could continue, everyone nearly jumped as a ringing came from Haley's pocket. Switching the fire to one hand, Haley reached into her pocket and pulled out her communication device, making Lu and Leah groan.
"You had your communication device the whole time?" Lu moaned.
"Shh!" Haley snapped as she pressed a button, making Sun's holographic head appear. "Sun!" She continued. "You'll never guess where we are..."
LINE BREAK
Not much time had passed from the time that Sun had come to the rescue. Now, Haley sat on the couch next to Lu Dog in the back room of Canal Street Electronics as Sun bandaged her leg. "How does that feel?" Sun asked as she stood up.
"Better..." Haley answered, only to realize that Fu Dog was cleaning the shop; he had a duster in his mouth. "Fu, what are you doing?"
"Well, Fu made kind of a mess tonight..." Sun answered with a small smile on her face, which made the shar-pei spit out the duster in his mouth.
"Hey!" Fu exclaimed. "I was trying to protect the place! Show a dog a little gratitude!"
"You know, Fu..." Haley smiled. "I've never seen you clean before..."
"Yeah..." Fu grabbed hold of the duster in his mouth once again. "First and last time..."
LINE BREAK
Meanwhile, Sierra, Olivia and Dena walked back up the hill and stared at the shack in front of them. "Well, I guess it's time for us to let them out..." Dena spoke.
"We don't have to do anything we don't want to..." Olivia countered as she crossed her arms.
"Would you two just be quiet?" Sierra growled. "Let's just open the door and then leave. That way, we don't have to pretend to keep our promise. C'mon..." The three girls then walked over to the door and pulled it open. "Now we can go..." Sierra said as she turned around, but as she turned, she slipped on the ledge between the hole and the ground. Sierra screeched as she fell, and she reached out and grabbed Olivia, who as she fell back, grabbed hold of Dena. All three of the girls rolled down into the hole.
Coughing, Sierra sat up as she looked around the hole. "H...How are we going to get out of here?" Dena asked as she and Olivia picked themselves up.
Sierra crossed her arms. "How am I supposed to know? I don't have my communication device to call for help. Do either of you?"
"Does it look like we have pockets?" both Olivia and Dena responded.
Sierra groaned as she realized what had just happened. "Great...We're stuck..."
