"Rise and shine, buttercups!" Betty called out as the sun came up and she came to their next stop.
Didi yawned and stretched before putting on her glasses and came to the front windshield. "Oh, where are we?"
"Brunswick, Missouri." Betty smiled.
"Not home of the World's Largest Pecan!" Didi beamed then.
A squirrel scampered on top of the giant nut and tried to bite into it.
"Yep, while you lazy heads were sawin' Z's, I burned almost 600 miles," Betty smiled as she finished up her coffee. "And you know what? I could do another thousand!" she then fell asleep instantly, snoring loudly as she hit the horn with her forehead.
The other moms then decided to wake up the kids. Belinda woke up and then her eyes widened once she saw that the sleeping bags were only filled with clothes. The moms panicked instantly.
"Belinda, where is everybody?" Kira asked.
Belinda sighed. "I didn't want y'all to worry, but they're all the way back in New Mexico."
"You didn't want us to worry?!" Didi asked.
"They snuck out last night, I thought for sure they'd be back before Mrs. Deville would drive off..." Belinda replied. "I'm sorry, ma'am."
"How's my drivin'?" Betty suddenly woke up. "We in Missouri yet?"
"Yes, but the kids are back in New Mexico!" Lucy replied.
"Didi, mind the map, Lucy, brew me a cup of joe, we're turnin' this baby around." Betty said, then drove the RV all the way back to the New Mexico parking lot.
"I'm so sorry about this..." Belinda frowned. "I didn't wanna be apart of this... And Tommy and I got in a fight."
"Don't worry, we'll sort this all out soon." Didi soothed.
"Uh, I'm afraid we can't go back, I think we're outta gas." Betty said.
The mothers and Belinda then worried.
Meanwhile at the Ranger Station...
Chuckie was dreaming about kissing Rhonda as the others had knocked themselves out from their late night with no sleep. Gaz had left after dropping them off and went to find Dib or else she wouldn't be able to do anything with her dad for a while. She never admitted it, but she liked spending time with her father. She also secretly left behind a note in Dil's hat while he was sleeping.
"I'm sorry, Susie," Tommy sulked. "I know you worked really hard to sing in this parade."
"Don't sweat it, Tommy, we still got three days to get to New York," Susie smiled softly as she crossed her legs in one chair. "I'm not worried."
"I thought you kids might be hungry," an Indian ranger walked over with a pack for them. "I'm Ranger Wind Walking Little Feather, but you can call me 'Klaus'."
"Klaus?" Mike asked.
"Easier to program in the speed dial." the ranger smiled as he set down a pack of food for them.
"Um, Klaus, do you happen to know where their moms are?" Mike asked. "We ended up coming here by accident after someone thought it would be cooler to be with other kids and not his own mother." she then hid a glare to Tommy when she said that.
"I sent my guys looking out for the RV," Klaus replied as he then sat behind his desk with a framed picture of him with an Indian woman who looked a lot like the Land-O-Lakes Butter Indian woman. "It'd be hard to find something not that butt ugly."
Rhonda and Chuckie kissed each other in their sleep which made Courtney and Phil scoot away uncomfortably as they were right there.
Angelica yawned and saw that she had a sweatshirt around her that was not her own. "Hey, this isn't mine."
"I thought you'd be a little cold from last night." Junior told her as he was in a plain white T-Shirt.
Angelica smiled to him. "Thanks, Junior, don' you want it back?"
"Ah, you can keep it..." Junior replied. "My cousin Kevin made me dress like that so I'd be cool like him."
"Kevin's a dork." Mike snorted.
"You said it." Junior agreed with the tomboy.
Mike then looked to the picture on the man's desk. "Is that Quana?" she then asked, recognizing the butter woman from the products.
"You know my girlfriend?" Klaus replied.
"Yeah, it's a long story, I hear she's Pocahontas's sister." Mike replied.
"Indeed she is, she is also the godmother for her nephew, Thomas Rolfe," Klaus smiled. "I've become an honorary uncle due to my relationship with Quana."
"That's cool." Mike smiled.
Klaus then answered his phone once it rang. "Ranger Walking Wind-Erm... Klaus here..." he then waited a moment. "Yes, they're right here." he then held out the phone to Tommy.
Tommy took it and answered. "Mom?"
"Tommy? Oh, thank heavens you're all right!" Didi replied. "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry, Mom," Tommy insisted. "Tell Belinda I'm sorry too, I was just letting my anger take over. Anyway, where are you?" he then looked to the others. "They're in Brunswick, Missouri!"
"Home of the Largest Pecan?" Klaus replied in shock.
"When're you coming back for us?" Tommy then asked his mother on the other line. "A couple of days?! We'll never make it to New York in time for the parade!"
Susie groaned in misfortune as this sounded like doomsday for her.
"Wow, sorry, Susie." Lil frowned as she held her soccer ball.
"Yeah, tough break," Angelica added as she wore Junior's sweatshirt. "So, where's the nearest four star luxury hotel?"
"I'll take you up to Raton to stay with my family, I'm in town for an inner tribal meeting." Klaus replied.
"Hold on, Mom," Tommy said before putting the phone down to ask the ranger a question. "Is Raton anywhere near where our moms are?"
"It's in the right direction, but you'd still have hundreds of miles." Klaus said as he took out a map.
"Can we go with you?" Tommy begged. "We've gotta get Susie to New York to sing on a cheese boat for the Nicktoons Parade!"
Klaus took a long look as Susie was begging and pleading herself.
"Susie, Susie, Susie..." Angelica scoffed. "What will it take to kill this can do attitude of yours?!"
"Stuff it, Angelica," Rhonda snapped which shocked the blonde girl before she then smiled. "It's a great idea... So, please, Klaus..."
"I can get you as far as Dendron." Klaus suggested with a warm smile.
"Let me have the phone," Mike took the phone from Tommy. "Mrs. Pickles, I know you're worried about us traveling hundreds of miles alone, but trust me, I know what it's like to travel without parents around. I used to be a foreign exchange student and my parents died when I was very young. We can't let Susie down, so please, Mrs. Pickles, let us do this."
"Okay... Tell Tommy I love him and I'll see him soon..." Didi replied softly and sadly.
"Thanks, Mrs. Pickles, I'll make this up to you somehow, he loves you too, bye," Mike said before hanging up and smiled to the group. "We're on the road again!" she then announced which made everybody cheer.
And with that, they were on the road in Klaus's car.
Belinda sniffled as she overheard what Didi said about the others. "I never got to tell him I love him."
"Oh, Belinda, don't think like that..." Didi soothed.
Belinda then hugged Didi as tears leaked down her face.
