Tidal Wave - Owl City
Chapter 2 - Three kids, Three Problems
Jumba's Lab
"be holding still, this shouldn't take long to dissolve glue" Jumba said as he poured a liquid onto Candy's paws, it began to bubble.
"hehehe it tickles" Candy laughed.
"I'm telling you, Jumba, she is getting worse, I mean, she's my niece, and I love her, but she is crossing the boarder of out of control" Lilo stated.
"She is just needing time to learn, same with 626Gx1's depression and 700Gx1's fear" Jumba replied.
"I know, I just hope she doesn't take it too far, that's all" Lilo said. Just as Lilo finished talking Candy pulled her paws apart.
"Yay, my Paws are free Momma, look" Candy said waving both paws at her.
"There we go sweetie" Lilo replied smiling.
"You just be needing patience, Lilo, things take time" Jumba added.
"ok, Jumba, you're right" Lilo said.
"have I ever steered you wrong?" Jumba asked rhetorically.
"Oh, I'm late, I have to go sweetie, now if anything goes wrong again, just tell Aunty Sarah, ok" Lilo said as she gave her a kiss on her furry forehead.
"yes, mommy" Candy replied as they both hugged.
"Ok, bye, and taka Jumba" Lilo said as she left.
"bye, mommy, see you after work" Candy replied as she got up off the medical bed getting ready to head back to the house.
Back at the House
"This is a stick up! nobody move!" RB said holding her paw up like a revolver.
"Do we have to play this game, Raspberry?" Bluey asked shaking in fear.
"For the last time, Blueberry, I'm Outlaw Sammy Fluffy-Tail and you are supposed to be the town banker" RB replied.
"I know, but I don't like scary games like this" Bluey added. Candy opened the door and walked on the wall towards the couch and plopped herself down on it.
"Ok, kids, I have a few chores I have to do, for now you can go to my room, just don't touch my personal stuff, that goes double for you RB" Sarah said.
"ok Aunty Sarah" all three of them replied as they headed for Sarah's room.
Sarah's room
"Blueberry, you never want to play the games I play" RB stated.
"That's because your games are too scary" Bluey stated.
"So, sometimes Aunty Sarah's games are scary, but you still play them" RB stated another point.
"Because, I don't have much of a choice, besides, I sat out most of Zombie Pirates" Bluey stated his point. All the fighting back and forth made Candy's ears flop down and her sadness to come in full force.
"maybe cause you're a scaredy cat" RB added.
"You take that back" Bluey demanded.
"Guys! Enough!" Candy yelled with a tear running down her cheek. They both stopped and all three of them sat down on Sarah's bedroom floor.
"ugh" they all sighed.
"I'm sorry, Bluey and Candy, I don't know what's wrong with me, why I keep bullying, and going back on my promises" RB stated.
"I wish I wasn't sad all the time" Candy added.
"I wish I could be brave, like Rueben, Galley officer of the BRB 9000" Bluey said pointing at the poster on Sarah's wall.
song starts*
Candy: I wish I could cross my arms And cross your mind 'Cause I believe You'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve *put her paw on Bluey's shoulder*
RB: All my life I wish I broke mirrors Instead of promises 'Cause all I see Is a shattered conscience staring right back at me *she lowered her ears*
Bluey: I wish I had covered all my tracks completely 'Cause I'm so afraid Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train *covers his eyes*
Candy: Lift your arms, only heaven knows *put her paw on Bluey's shoulder again* Where the danger grows And it's safe to say There's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way-
pointed to the right as she stared in his eyes*
-Help is on the way
Bluey: I forget the last time I felt brave
Candy: I just recall insecurity
RB: 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
Candy: And sorrow swept over me-
turns towards the corner of the room*
-Depression please cut to the chase And cut a long story short Oh please be done How much longer can this drama afford to run *pulls on her own ears*
RB: Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties *RB climbs up on Sarah's bed* And breaks whatever doesn't bend But sadly then All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again *she falls face first on the bed*
Bluey: I forget the last time I felt brave
Candy: I just recall insecurity
RB: 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave *Falls off the bed*
Candy: And sorrow swept over me
Bluey: Then I was given grace and love I was blind but now I can see 'Cause I've found a new hope from...
Together: ...above *they all pointed at a BRB 9000 poster on the wall with Rueben on it*
Bluey: And courage swept over me
they all look up at the poster*
Candy: It hurts just to wake up
RB: Whenever you're wearing thin
Candy: Alone on the outside
Bluey: So tired of...
Together: looking in*they all held each other's paws*
Candy: The end is uncertain
Bluey: And I've never been so afraid But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope And that makes me feel...
Together: ...brave *they all hugged*
song ends*
Sarah was watching them from the partially opened door and smiled for a second before looking at the poster and her smile faded.

Flashback 1
Sarah and Rueben meet June 17/2012
"Do you have to take them?" Sarah asked the Yellow Experiment eating a cold cut sub with extra mayo and mustard.
"hey, I have to do everything the blubber butt says, or he'll lock me in the prison cell like last time" he replied with food still in his mouth.
"hmm, Rueben, isn't it? Why can't you just take me instead?" Sarah asked.
"Have we met?" Rueben asked squinting his eyes at her before scarfing the rest of his sub down.
"No, no I just know things... you know... before they happen, I just happen to know you, but you don't know me" Sarah said being cryptic.
"ah huh" Rueben scratched his head. "I suppose this all came from your Crystal ball?" Rueben added as he pulled out bread, cheese, mayo and salomi, and started making another sandwich.
"yeah, make jokes about it now but you won't be saying anything when you get to know me better" Sarah said as she took the sandwich from him and ate it in one bite.
Rueben stood in shock for a minute. "You like Sandwiches?" Rueben asked.
"mhm" Sarah replied as she took out some bread and started making a sandwich of her own.
"Rueben! get the prison cells ready for transport" Gantu ordered him.
"aye sir, Got to go now, nice talking to ya Gyps" Rueben said before running onto the ship.
"Psst, Popper! take this Sandwich, give it to Rueben at the right moment" Sarah said reaching in the net Popper was in.
"Ok, I hope your psychic powers are trust worthy this time and not like what happened when we were kids" Popper mumbled in the net.
"Popper, trust me, make sure you give him the Sandwich, ok?" Sarah stated.
"hey! I said step away or you will be joining all four of them" Angel said aiming the net blaster at her. Sarah backed away from the net Popper was in.
End of Flashback
Sarah walked away from the room to finish her chores around the house.
