"We should be there by now," said Roger as he looks at an out-of-date map.
Ms Frizzle stops the bus. The group are at a fork in the road.
"Which way will you be going?" asked The Friz.
Anita looked at the map. "Please turn left, Valerie," she replied.
Liz looked over and saw that the road Anita was referring to looks ominous, hostile, and foggy. Liz then tries to drive the bus to the left side, which looked more friendly and promising.
"Aw, C'mon, Liz. Where's your sense of adventure?" asked Ms Frizzle. Pongo then said to Liz, "Besides, we'll be there in no time."
The bus continued to drive down the right hand path with the invention still attached to it. Everyone felt nervous by this time. Perdita thought she saw a shadow of a monster running through the forest. The bus stopped when it heard a howl.
"Oh Pongo, that howl doesn't sound to friendly," cried Perdita.
"This can't be right! Valerie, where have you taken us?" asked a scared Roger.
"But Roger, you were the one who...
"Nevermind, please turn the bus around."
Ms Frizzle shifts the bus into reverse, but she accidently hits a tree doing so. A bunch of Haunter flew out of the tree freaking everybody out. Liz took control of the bus and drove in full speed to avoid being caught by the Haunter. Ms Frizzle then turned the bus into an Indy-style race car and took over the controls. The bus/Indy car hit a bump, and Roger and Anita both fell off of the bus. The Radcliffes watched as the bus with everyone else drove off out of sight.
"Great," moaned Roger.
"What next?" asked Anita.
"Uh, Anita... you spoke to soon," said Roger as he pointed at something.
He was pointing at a group of creatures emerging from some of the trees. They looked like turtles that wore safety helmets on their heads, and they were carrying hammers. They were known as Hammer Bros, and they looked hungry.
Not wanting to be dinner, Roger and Anita ran for their lives while the hammer bros gave chase. Soon, The Radcliffes arrived at an iron gate. They both yelled, "Let us in, we're being chased by hammer bros! Eventually, the gate opens and they fall in. They slammed the door just in the nick of time before the hammer bros could get them. When they looked up, they saw a formidable (and rather gloomy) castle. Then, it began to rain. Not wanting to catch a cold, the Radcliffes went into the castle and entered the foyer.
"Hello?" called Roger, hoping someone would answer him. No one did. "Hello?" called Anita. As the Radcliffes looked around, they heard voices.
"That poor couple, they must've got lost in the woods," said a voice that sounded young, but tough.
"Stop talking you idiot and he may leave!" said a somewhat nerdy voice.
Wondering where the voices came from, Anita continues, "Who is it? Anyone there?"
"Don't you dare say anything, Bart! Not a word!" said the nerdy voice.
"We apologize for coming in uninvited, but our transportation ran off and we need a place to stay for the night," explained Roger.
"Aw, have a heart, Donatello. He's just lost." insisted the voice who is identified as Bart.
"Ssh!" hissed the voiced of Donatello.
Bart ignored Donatello and said, "Don't worry sir and madam. You're welcome here."
"Who said that?" asked Roger.
"Right here, sir."
"Huh?" Anita felt a tug on her skirt. She looked down, and to her surprise, she saw a bird! The bird was a raven with a tin can shaped head, big eyes, and nine spikes on its hair.
"Hello," said Bart the raven. Startled, Anita jumped back.
"Oh, you have to do it, do you? Very typical, Bart," The voice of Donatello came in. He was a muscular turtle with a crimson mask and matching wrist, elbow and knee bands, and he carried a bo staff with him.
(A/N: Donatello is supposed to be in his original '84 TMNT comic form.)
"Oh. Hi there. I...ah, ah, ACHOO!" Roger has accidentally sniffed in some dust and sneezed right on Donatello's face. Roger uses a hanky to wipe his own nose while Donatello just wiped himself clean.
"You both wet. Come on. Come sit by the fire." insisted Bart as he led Roger and Anita to the parlor.
"Why, thank you. I'm getting sick." mumbled Roger talking funny.
"Hold it! Don't you dare!" yelled Donatello as he runs after the two into the parlor. Unknown to either of them, a huge shadowed figure was watching this. With a growl, the figure rushed off.
"You don't know what our boss would do if he catches him here!" yelled Donatello as he runs into the parlor. Bart ignored him.
"Stop right there!" Donatello tripped and fell. When he got up, he groans as he sees Bart allowing Roger and Anita to sit in a comfortable couch right near the fireplace. "Not the master's couch! Anything but that!"
As he looks concerned, a stuffed animal runs by. It is a plush tiger with a white muzzel, white paws, and a white belly. Its name is Hobbes.
(A/N: Hobbes is supposed to be in his "Inanimate" mode. See "Calvin and Hobbes," and you'll know what I mean.)
"Oh no. I'm not seeing this." yelped Donatello covering his eyes. "I really am not seeing this!"
"Ah, what a nice stuffed animal," said Anita.
"Knock it off all of you! Don't forget who is in charge here..." Donatello was suddenly run over by a tea cart rushing in. When it stops near where Roger and Anita are sitting, two figures revealed themselves. One figure was a blue humanoid creature with spiky black hair, and she wore a white dress, a matcing hat, and a pair of white clogs. Her name was Smurfette.
(A/N: Smurfette is in her form that Gargamel originally made her in.)
The other figure was a kangaroo that had blond hair that kind of resembled a Beatles cut. His name is Cody (from The Rescuers Down Under).
"Would you both like a spot of tea sir and madam?" asked Smurfette, "It will warm you up in no time."
"Don't you dare pour any tea in! Please, don't!" yelped Donatello very concerned. "NO TEA!"
Smurfette and Cody ignored Donatello and they continued to serve the tea to Roger and Anita. Cody gave each person a cup.
"Here you go, sir and madam," said Cody.
"Thank you, young kangaroo," replied Roger and Anita.
Suddenly the doors to the parlor slammed open. A howling wind blows in and puts the fire in the fireplace out. Smurfette looks nervous while Cody goes to hide under the tea cart.
"Uh-oh," said Cody.
Gulping, Roger and Anita sat in their chairs and didn't move. If they looked over at the door, they would have seen something horrible. It is a muscular monster covered in black fur. He had spikey blond hair, blue eyes, grey skin, and a long snout with a black nose at the end. His only clothes were a green sleeveless turtle-neck, and a torn pair of jeans. He was once Yamato "Matt" Ishida, the spoiled and selfish digidestined prince, now a digimon cursed under a spell.
(A/N: think of Alf the Alien, only with black fur, a grey face, and Matt's hair.)
Matt walked around on all fours, sniffed the air, and he growled, "There's some strangers in here."
"Uh sir," said Bart, "Allow me to explain. This man and woman were lost in the woods, all cold and scared, and..." he was interuppted when Matt roared angrily. Bart quickly withdrew his point.
Donatello then said, "Master Matt, if I can just say...it's his fault! I wasn't in on the idea from the beginning! I try to stop them but did they listen? Heck no! They don't care and..." Matt roared even louder, and scared Donatello, who went to hide behind Bart (which was actually funny because Bart's too small for Donatello to hide behind).
Anita looks over her side and sees nothing. When Roger looked over his side however, he came face to face with a furious Matt.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" demanded Matt angrily as he stood on two legs.
"Please...I got lost in the woods. And..." Roger said, trembling in fear.
"YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!"
"We didn't mean to..." protested Anita, but both she and Roger were focusing on Matt, and the Digimon was not too happy about that.
"What are you staring at?" snarled Matt.
"We're not staring at anything!" said Roger.
"So," said Matt furiously, "You've both come to stare at the DIGIMON HAVE YOU?"
Roger and Anita ran for the door, but Matt got there first and he blocked them.
"We didn't mean to upset you or cause harm!" said Roger.
"We just wanted a place to stay!" agreed Anita.
"Oh-ho, I'll give the both of you a place to stay!" snapped Matt as he picked up Roger and Anita and dragged them out of the room.
"Wait! No! NOOOOO!" screamed Roger and Anita in horror. Everyone else can only looked helplessly as their master Matt dragged the kicking and screaming Radcliffes out of the room before slamming the door behind him shut.
