Part 18

"Umm… what the" Paul started but stopped before he finished. "Are you from here… or there…" Richard asked in a cute tone. She indicated that they should follow her into the back room and they did so. "My dad owns this store… we've been transporting from realm to realm for a few years now selling things that we pick up from home. What… what are you doing here?" "We got stuck here when we went to solve a mystery… we cant get back until we find who we're looking for." "wow… never thought…. Gee" "Dom… Have you sold any more of these star wars videos?" "Well… yeah I have sold one copy of the Empire strikes back. Why?" "Who did u sell it to?" all 3 asked together which set Dom back a little. "I umm… we sold it to a woman in a big fur coat. Her name was Elizabeth Kreenly. I've got her address if u want it?" And so the boys got the address and Dom closed up the store. The 3 boys… Dom and DMG walked 3 hours to get to this woman's house and knocked abruptly on the door. "WHO IS IT!" A angry voice called from the other side of the door. "It's the Doug Anthony Allstars Ms. Kreenly." "What the f--- are they" she called back and there was a low groan that followed. "Can we come in…" "NO!" "Please?" "NO!" "Pretty please?" "NO!" "Pretty pretty please?" "NO!" "yes" "NO…" "C'mon" "No…" "You know u want to" "no" "Pllleeeeaaassseee" "oh alright then!" And with that the grinned at each other as many door locks were being undone on the other side. As they entered the room they smelt something fowl… yet familiar. Ms. Kreenly seemed to not want them to go into the living room. They could hear something in the background. Something that Richard strained to hear but made out as the star wars theme! "Ms. Kreenly we need your help… We're trying to find this" Tim said and held out a picture of Thulgore. "Haven't seen him" They studied her face and assumed that she was lying and this was confirmed when they heard a loud, booming call come from the living room. "WOOOOKIE!!!!!!!" It called and Elizabeth ran into the lounge room. The 3 boys followed and there he was… sitting cross legged on the floor with a giant fur coat in his arms. He saw them and a big grin stretched on his face as he stood to greet them, having to bend over to fit under the roof. "You cant take him… he's mine" Elizabeth cried and ran to him. He put his arm on her shoulder and wiped a tear from her eye. He then moved over to the 3 boys, dropped the coat and waved. "Bye Bye" he groaned and she began to weep openly. She picked up the coat and ejected the video from the player and handed it to him. "Im going to miss u big guy… but I cant stop you from wanting to go home." "Home… Love…. U" He said and she hugged him. The boys looked at Thulgore and noticed a familiar button on his belt. "So that's how he did it…" Paul said pointing at the belt. "Shall we…" Tim commented and the 2 others agreed. "Dom… DMG… thankyou so much… and please thank Spoof for us too…" Richard said and the girls nodded and wiped the tears out of their eyes. "Bye guys… keep out of trouble ok" Dom said and they nodded… they took hold of Thulgore and pressed the button on his belt. As it did the first time… the felt a fast gust and everything flew by very quickly until they found themselves back on the Titanic II. They were greeted by Dermo, Fergo and Fido. "GUYS! YOU MADE IT!… THULGORE!" All 3 shouted together and thulgore looked confused at them and back to Paul, Tim and Richard. He shrugged and walked towards his pit, carrying the video and coat close to himself. Dermo, Fergo and Fido seemed a little stumped by his lack of enthusiasm but didn't worry too much about it. "Hey guys… thanks a lot… how can we repay you?" The boys looked at each other and nodded. "We want to go home" "Sure thing! Just get in the pothole and push the green button to get home… not the red one caus it will take you back to our world." "Not a worry…" They said together and the 3 boys stepped into the pothole again. Tim leaned out of the door and called to them… "There is one thing you can do guys…" "Whats that?" "Stay here for a few more years" and with that… they pushed the button… though was it the green button? Or the red… The End
