The flying present flew through the air at a great speed, but Elli was hot on its trail. Afterall, the brightly wrapped contraption kidnapped the boy she loved. The boy who bravely fights ghosts and even saved from her evil uncle Betrayus. And she won't let this fiend take him away.

"You let Pac go right now!" she yelled. "You're much more stubborn than I thought!" the metallic voice exclaimed. "Take this!"

The lid opened up and something was flung out. Elli used her reflexes to catch the object. She gasped in shock to see it was Pac's berry dispenser. "I can't risk my present escaping before my party!"

Suddenly, another rocket came out of the bottom, and it was much bigger than the others. "Sayonara!" The voice cackled as the rocket activated which sped the device up. The force pushed Elli backwards as she fell off her hoverboard.

As she fell, she sadly watched the present disappear into the sky. "Aisuru, gomen'nasai. I'm sorry, my love," she sadly said as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate...

Plop!

Elli opened her eyes to discover she landed on a red cushion. "Nice catch, Spiral," she heard Cyli say. Elli noticed that she was on the watermelon hovercraft... then she noticed what-- who the cushion was. "You okay, Spiral?" she asked. "Ugh, I've been through worse," he groaned as she got off his back.

Suddenly, Fuzzbits pounced on her and gave her his slobbery kisses. "Hee hee hee! I'm glad to see you too, Fuzzbits," she laughed as she tried to get him off. He maybe a sweet and adorable little monster, but he had such smelly breath.

Sir C walked over and picked up his pet. "We certainly had good timing to break your fall, thanks to our lovely pilot," Sir C said. "You can bet on that!" Spheria called out from the driver's seat. "When Cyli called me, I put Grinder and Grindette in charge of the lab, contacted Spheria, and fired up the old melon," Sir C explained to Elli. "That's right! No one kidnaps my nephew and gets away with it!" Spheria exclaimed while shaking her fist.

"But we can't follow the present. It used a hidden rocket to go faster. We'll never find Pac now," Elli said sulking. "Don't be so sure about that, Elliptica," Sir C said and pulled out a device. "Is that the device from the time we faced off against the Dentures of Doom?" Cyli asked. "You bet it is! It can track Pac's DNA to anywhere. And I made a special adjustment to track down Pac specifically," Sir C explained. The device renewed Elli's hope.

"Elli, you really should let your Uncle Spheros know you're going with us. And we won't tell him about your crazy pursuit," Spheria said with a wink. Elli blushed deeply in embarrassment.

Half an hour later...

"Got an 8?" Spiral asked. "Go fish," Blinky answered. Spiral, Cyli, Blinky, and Inky were playing cards. Clyde and Fuzzbits were sleeping and snoring. Sir C and Spheria were navigating the route. Meanwhile, Elli was standing on the front of the ship. She held a look of worry as she noticed one of the clouds looked like Pac.

Pinky floated up next to her. "Hey," the pink ghost said. "Hey," Elli said without looking at the ghost. "I'm worried about Paccums too," Pinky said sheepishly. Elli still stared at the clouds in silence. Pinky held her right arm in her left as she looked nervous. "So, my brothers and our friends told me to say... well, I'm sorry for that time I possessed you and tried to make Paccums lose interest in you..." Elli turned to face the pink ghost. "I've loved that cute little lemon ball since the night we met. It wasn't love at first sight, but... (sigh) you seem to make him happy, much happier that with me anyways."

"Pinky, I was in love with someone else before I came to Pacopolis," Elli revealed which shocked Pinky. "His name is Coner. He was quite popular, and many girls wanted him. One day, he said to me that he wanted to get to know me better. He said that he would buy me a crepe. When I came to the crepe shop, I saw him laughing with another girl. She said that she's his only girlfriend, and that the two of them loved to toy with other girls hearts..."

Pinky's mouth dropped then she shook her face and held an angry face. "Why that's just... ARRRGH!! I've seen plenty of jerks in the Netherworld but that-- that-- those--" the ghost growled. "He made his choice, and it was someone just as cruel as him," Elli said. "My mom found out and thought I needed a change of scenery, so I came here. And I'm glad I did. Pac is really sweet with me. He restored my sad broken heart."

"Well, if we ever go to your home town, let me know where 'Cone jerk' and his girl is, so my brothers and I can completely slime those two slimeballs!" Pinky said. "Deal," Elli said. The two girls laughed together. Their friends watched from behind the corner with happy faces. Pinky and Elli might be love rivals, but they are starting to become best friends.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A loud beeping sound caught everyone's attention as they all gathered by Sir C. "The device says that we're over the place where Pac is!" Sir C exclaimed. Looking down from the ship's right side, they saw an island below them. It had a market town by the beach, a big cave entrance, a carnival, and a huge castle.

"No way!" Blinky exclaimed. "It can't be!" Inky yelled. "Wasn't it just a ghost fairytale?" Clyde asked. "It's real. It's really real!" Pinky gasped. "You know about this place? Then what is this island?" Spiral asked. The 4 ghosts looked at each other then at their friends as they said in unison...

"Ghost Island"


Well, they arrived at the island, but a certain mystery monster won't just let them come to the castle.

Anyway, since the series ended so prematurely, I thought I'd dive into Elli's character more. And isn't it nice that Pinky is learning too? ... Or is it another one of her love schemes? Well, whatever happens, Pinky will keep her promise to slime those two jerks if the day ever comes.
