Once they met up with everyone, Rebecca said, "Uncle John, Arturo said that he saw the silver thieves and that they went after him. But we managed to hide with him until they left."

Mojo added, "We need to keep all eyes out for anything suspicious around here." Professor Utonium said, "Alright, but we need to check in to the hotel and get settled before we go around touring."

The group then makes their way to the hotel and checks in at the front desk. Arturo hides in amongst the group so he won't be spotted. Ace and Deanna notice Arturo fearfully glancing back and forth over each shoulder. "Ohh, I es so afraid that the banditos will come back."

"Don't be afraid, Arturo," Deanna says, gently placing a consoling hand on his shoulder. "We've all got your back."

"Yeah," Ace adds. "If dat Harry dude gives ya any trouble, I'll impress a couple a'things upon him. Things like my LEFT FIST and my RIGHT!" He fiercely throws two punches into the air. "And the same goes for Dagmar and Marie!" Deanna adds as she throws a couple of punches of her own into the air. She and Ace had always been very tough.

Arturo breathes a very hearty sigh of relief. "Oh, muchas gracias, amigos!"

The hotel manager gives the group the keys to their rooms, upon which everyone heads upstairs. The professor and the girls take one room, Rebecca and Mojo take another, Deanna and Ace take another, April and Snake take another, and Arturo, Billy and Grubber take the last one. Roxi and Foxy got into their bed to share, snuggling up to each other. Rebecca says, "Aww, the babies are sleepy." Mojo said, "Yes, the trip from Townsville to here must've been tiring for them. They sure look cute when they're asleep, which is to say they look adorable, cuddly, and sweet when they're snuggled up together."

Rebecca sighed, "Yeah. Maybe we could unpack and then take a look around the plaza." Mojo nodded, "That's an excellent idea, Rebecca."

After Rebecca and Mojo unpack their suitcases, they quickly find the others, upon which everyone heads toward the plaza. Everyone wanders throughout the streets, marveling at the gorgeous sights; Arturo keeps apprehensively looking over his shoulder to make sure the crooks haven't come back.

Suddenly, feels a tug at her shoulder and turns to see a small black burro chewing on her straw hat. "Oh!" she squeals in amazement. The burro brays, "Hee haw!" as he drops her hat and begins merrily licking her face, causing her to giggle. Curious, the group turns to see what's happening. "Ooh, look," Billy notes. "Bubbles found a li'l donkey!"

He's a small black burro with a white snout and belly and a bristly brown mane and tailtip. He wears a large golden brown sombrero with a purple band and a red, yellow, and green striped blanket over his shoulders. Rebecca walks up to the burro and gently pets his scruffy coat. "Well, where did you come from, little fellow?" The burro brays happily and gently nuzzles her.

"He reminds me of Bruno and Burrito." Arturo says as he gently pets the burro's neck. Arturo then takes a small bag of tortilla chips out of his pocket and hands the burro some, which he happily eats. Arturo had always liked Bruno and Burrito when the group had paid Cowboy Jake's Dude Ranch a visit.

"Hmm," Mojo muses. "He seems to be wearing clothes, which indicates that he must belong to someone." Glancing at the burro's hat, Mojo observes the word, "PEDRO" embroidered onto the hat band. "Pedro must be his name."

"I wonder how we can find his owner?" Muses a concerned Bubbles. "We'll just have to keep an eye out for them," Rebecca replies. "In the mean time we can look after him."

"I hope Foxy and Roxi like him," Blossom notes. "He seems pretty sweet."

"I'm sure they will." Rebecca replies.

The group then continues their trek through the plaza, marveling at all the wonderful sights. Rebecca and her friends stop to peek at a booth selling jewelry. "Ah, hola, my good friends," the lady behind the counter greets them cheerfully. She hands Rebecca a pair of earrings with silver bird-shaped pendants, a necklace with a silver coin-shaped pendant to Deanna, and a bracelet with many lovely silver charms to April. "Please, have some free souvenirs."

"Why, thank you, miss, this is very kind of you." Rebecca says happily. "Ooh, these are beautiful!" April notes.

Ace looks over a silver coin charm wistfully. "Man, these're mighty sweet lookin'! It's amazin' ta think that these were once jus' pieces a'silver ore."

"Silver or what?" a perplexed Billy inquires.

"Silver ore." Ace replies.

"Yeah, but silver or what? It can't just be silver or nuthin'."

"No, no, silver ore. Y'know like da type folks find in a mine!"

"It's yours?"

"No, mine!"

"Well, Ace, it's either yours or it isn't."

"Folks dig it up from mines, an then they smelt it."

"Wonder why they smell it. It prob'ly don't smell like much."

"No, smelt it!"

"Well, Ace, they either smelled it or they didn't."

"No, smelted down by a smith!"

"Could a Jones make da jewelry?"

"Yeah, but then he'd be a smith."

Billy scratches his shaggy red hair in perplexity. "So...he'd hafta' change his name in order ta make da jewelry?"

Ace facepalms in exasperation. "Didn't you ever go ta school, stupid?"

"Duh, yeah," Billy replies. "The problem is, I came out da same way." Rebecca, Mojo and the others can only stare blankly.

In an instant, Snake says, "Hey, guysss! I just found some neat shoe shop downsss across here! Check these babiesss out! Fart shoesss!" On Snake's feet, he has a pair of sneakers with little whoopee cushions on the soles. With each step, little fart noises come up. Everyone looked at Snake weird as they tried not to laugh, but Mojo looked at Snake with a dead-pan face and said with his arms folded, "Really?"

Rebecca whispers to Mojo, "This is going to be a very short one-shot." Deanna and April giggled, while the rest of the gang laughed hard. Rebecca chuckled a little and said, "Those shoes are definitely out of this world!"Mojo stifles a laugh of his own. "Indeed."

Noticing the time, the professor states, "Hmm, it's almost noon. Maybe we should find some food." He notes a Mexican café nearby.

"Good idea." the others agree as everyone makes their way toward the restaurant
