Rebecca and Mojo make their way into town, presently arriving at Duke's Diner. Duke said, "Mojo! Becca! Nice to see you two kids here!"
Mojo said, "Hello, Duke."
Rebecca smiles, "Hi, Duke. Have our paychecks come in yet?"
Duke smiles, "Why yes, my friends. Please wait right here." Duke disappears through a nearby door and returns shortly with the couple's paychecks. Duke said, "Here's yours, Mojo. And here's yours, Becca." Once the two received the paychecks, Duke looked at the puppies and chuckled, "And two little biscuits for the little ladies." The puppies yip a cheery thank you as they happily eat their treats. Duke laughs kindly, "Little cuties!"
Mojo and Rebecca Smile happily. "Thank you, Duke!"
"You're quite welcome, friends." Duke cheerily replies.
The two then pause for a moment to silently look the checks over. Rebecca thought to herself, Okay, this should be enough to get Mojo the watch and the book collection of Pushkin's works, along with Dostoyevsky. Mojo looked at his check and thought to himself, Good, this will be enough to get the necklace and earrings for Rebecca. Rebecca turns to Mojo. "Uhm, I'll be right back, Honey, I have...something to do in town." Mojo replies, "Certainly, my sweet, I have...something that needs done, too." The two then leave the restaurant and begin to go their separate ways. "Goodbye, darling!" Rebecca says. "Goodbye, Dearie." Mojo replies.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, Rebecca's two friends April and Deanna are walking through the Townsville dump when they arrive at the Gang Green Gang's residence. Deanna rings the doorbell, upon which five voices sing out, "Come in, come in, come in...Come in!" "Pthbbht!" The girls laugh happily as the door swings open and their boyfriends traipse out to greet them.
"Dee!" Ace, who's wearing a denim blue winter coat over a white shirt, black pants, a pair of black winter boots, an orange and blue striped scarf, and a pair of slightly beat-up looking dark brown gloves, as well as his usual shades, exclaims happily.
"April!" Snake, who's wearing a orange winter coat over a white shirt, brown pants, a pair of darker brown winter boots, a black and brown striped scarf, and a pair of equally beat up looking black gloves, as well as his usual hat, cries merrily.
The two embrace their girlfriends in a big hug and gently sweep them off their feet; April and Deanna beam and plant kisses on their boyfriend's cheeks, causing them to blush. "Oh, we're so happy to see you, Sweeties!" the girls say.
Billy, Arturo, and Grubber walked over to say hello. Billy wore a green turtleneck sweater with yellow strips, his usual jeans, and a pair of black winter boots. Arturo wore a maroon sweater with black pants and black boots, while Grubber wore a funny sweater that resembles a candy cane with the striped pattern, a pair of jeans, and surprisingly a pair of brown winter boots. Billy said, "Hi, girls!"
Arturo smiled, "Hola, chicas!"
"Pthbbht, thbbht!" Grubber razzes hello.
Deanna said, "Hi, guys."
April said, "You guys wanna come over to Townsville to hang out? We could go ice skating."
Ace said, "Oh, that's sounds pretty cool. Uh, it's kinda like roller blading, right?"
Deanna said, "Yeah, kinda like that. Only that the area you skate on is made of ice."
April adds, "We could even go visit Becca at her place and help decorate."
"Ooh, good ideasss!" Snake says, happily anticipating meeting with his friends.
As the group begin making their way into town, Snake notices April wearing a round pearlescent watch, suspended by a thick ribbon, around her neck. "Sssay, that'ssss a very pretty watch," he notes. "Issss it new?"
"Oh, why, no," April replies as she removes the item and holds it up. "It's a family heirloom, which originally belonged to my great grandmother."
"Ooh, how very niccce." Snake begins to get a dreamy look in his eyes as he gently wraps his arm around her shoulder. "I bet it'd be niccce if it had a gold chainsss for around your pretty neck." April smiles and blushes deeply.
As Deanna and Ace walk together, he muses, "Hmm, maybe I'll bring my guitar when we visit Becca's place."
"Wonderful idea, Honey," Deanna replies sweetly as she gently holds him close. "Your lovely music always makes my heart sing." Ace smiles as a blush warms his face. Deanna begins to get a wistful look in her eyes. "An instrument like that deserves a special case."
"Yeah." Ace sighs blissfully.
