A/N: Happy Valentine's Day from PerkyGoth14 and the artist formerly known as Scrappy Doo Fan.
"Hey, guys," LJ told everyone in the group. "Zo and I are taking Elyse on a trip to Bluffington to show her the school she'll be going to, but we might find some more big adventure there. You guys in or what? ...And yes, Lee, you can come."
"Heh, sounds good to me," Lee replied. "Thanks, buddy."
"No problem," LJ replied. "We'll meet up outside Dad's RV once everyone is all ready to go."
"Sounds good," Akito said. "We'll try not to take too long."
"Great," LJ replied. "Now to get those Ed guys ready in the meantime... Soon as I get dressed."
The groups then split up to get ready to go on their big trip.
"Come on, Lee," Estelle smiled. "I hear there's a dance coming up."
"Well, hopefully we can go together." Lee smiled back.
"Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun!" Estelle replied.
Lee smiled to her as they walked off.
"Looks like we're good," Zofia said to LJ while taking her coat out of the closet. "Better bundle up though, there's some snow around."
"Naturally." LJ replied as he got his coat, snow pants and boots.
"I know you're not into fashion, but do you think blue or purple?" Zofia asked, holding up her differently colored winter coats.
LJ did some brief thinking. "Hm... Go with blue." he replied.
Zofia looked between them and then went with the blue coat as it was her favorite. "Do you think you'll go to the school dance if we stay long enough for that?" she then asked her brother. "I know you don't like too much noise, but... It might be fun."
"Well... I'll give it a shot," replied LJ. "We'll see where things go from there."
"I just thought I would ask," Zofia said. "Also, hopefully this goes better than Wayside School even though we saved it from tumbling over before Elyse left for good."
"Even though we weren't really there for that last bit, since Todd snuck back inside." replied LJ.
"Well, they should've given him a medal or something!" Zofia replied. "They all could've died!"
"Yeah," LJ nodded. "Instead, he's stuck there for all his troubles!"
"We should help him..." Zofia said before zipping up her backpack after putting her personal items inside. "But... Maybe later. A new adventure calls."
"That it does, Sis," LJ replied. "To Peach Creek, and then to the RV!"
They soon came to go downstairs to get ready for the big trip. Getting on their hats, the two kids then headed out the door.
"Pretty sure that Elyse kid is so excited that she's rushing her parents right now." Two-Tone smirked to Furrball.
"She's probably over the moon with delight." Furrball nodded.
Zofia smiled, petting the cat and Dalmatian as she went to the door with her brother. And so, they ventured off to Peach Creek to retrieve the Eds.
"But I'm telling you guys, I really saw them!" Sarah told the other kids.
"Sarah..." Nazz seemed to roll her eyes while painting her nails on the sidewalk.
"It's true!" Sarah told her. "My idiot brother and his friends turned into giant frogs!"
"Those dorks?" asked Kevin. "Yeah, like that would ever happen."
"I'M TELLING YOU THAT I SAW IT!" Sarah snapped.
"I'm sure you did, Sarah..." Nazz shrugged. "And I'm sure the My Little Ponies escaped from Rainbow Island too with the Care Bears or whatever."
Sarah growled in frustration.
"Say whatever ya like, craze-o!" replied Jonny. "Plank and I are gonna build a snow fort!"
LJ and Zofia chuckled to themselves as they walked down the street.
"Feeling okay, Sarah?" Jimmy asked his best friend.
"Jimmy, I know what I saw, and I gotta show 'em!" Sarah glared.
Zofia picked up some snow, made a ball out of it, and threw it at her head.
"D'oh!" Sarah grunted before seething as her eyes narrowed all around. "WHO THREW THAT?!"
LJ snickered. "Good shot, Sis!" he remarked. "Maybe a little cold oughta clear her head!"
"That's what I thought." Zofia smirked to him.
Sarah growled at them. "My parents can make your parents lose their jobs, you know!"
"Yeah, you're gonna make a lot of people mad about that considering our mother's one of the greatest authors of all time next to Ben Ravencroft." Zofia replied.
"Yeah, so shut up, you screwy little brat, before I do worse!" LJ replied. "Four out of five kids might not be able to deal with you, BUT I'M THE FIFTH!"
"I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!" Sarah glared.
"Yeah, you do that," Zofia said. "We gotta get going."
"NYAH-NYAH!" LJ retorted, making a goofy face. "Come at me, Pipsqueak! I'll knock you flying!"
Sarah yelled out and soon ran after them, chasing them down the block.
"Ooh, she's a bit fast for a little one." Zofia had to admit.
LJ quickly leapt over her head and caught her with one hand. "Yeah. Fast and stupid!" he remarked, swinging her over his head and tossing her into a dumpster. "I might not dig sports, but that was a slam-dunk!"
Sarah yelled out from her misfortune.
"Okay, uh, as we were..." Zofia said, taking out a checklist of their friends to bring along for their new adventure.
"Right!" LJ nodded as they went to Ed's house.
Ed was watching some cartoons in the living room with a bowl of his favorite cereal known as Chunky Puffs, watching some cartoons until his friends would come over.
"Yes...?" A blonde woman answered the door after the doorbell rang.
"Hello, Mrs... Uh... Ed's mom..." Zofia said to her. "Could we please see Ed?"
"Oh... Alright..." Mrs. Monoboroster replied before calling out. "EDWARD! YOU HAVE COMPANY!"
"COMING, MOM!" Ed replied before his footsteps were heard approaching the door. "Oh, hey guys. What's up?" he asked.
"Adventure!" LJ and Zofia beamed.
"Uh... Okay?" Ed replied. "Wanna be more specific?"
"We're heading out to take our new friend to her new school." Zofia explained.
"And we're gonna pick up Eddy and Double D while we're at it." LJ replied. "Wanna come with?"
Ed smirked. "Sure, but first we gotta stop by the junkyard," he replied. "C'mon."
"Hmm... All right, let's go then." Zofia said.
They then walked off together to go to the junkyard.
Princess Angelica was in her human girl disguise which had short blonde hair in a blue T-Shirt, white shorts, and gray sneakers, but she had to change it up a bit since it was now winter time.
"Here you are, Your Highness, this should keep you warm in the cul-de-sac during the snow and leaf season." Professor T. Bird smiled, holding out a pink coat with some white fuzz on it with gloves and boots to go with it.
"Ooh! It's cute!" Princess Angelica beamed as she began to wear it to keep warm. "Mm... Toasty."
"Hey, Professor!" Ed called. "Princess! I'm here, and I got the legendary warrior teachers!"
The two soon came over to see their company.
"Hey! It's an actual Bird Person!" Zofia beamed.
"So you're the mighty warriors?" asked the professor. "Well... I am Professor Thelonius Byrd, but I go by Professor Byrd for short. And this is my young charge: Princess Angelica of Teranus!"
"Heh... I don't know about Mighty Warriors, but it's good to meet you," Zofia replied. "I'm Zofia Schwartz, and this is my brother, Lionel Schwartz Jr, or LJ for short."
"Morning!" LJ replied. "Let's go find Double D and Eddy."
"A perfect opportunity to test my modifications!" Professor exclaimed, activating the van, whose tires seemed to shift sideways and function as hoverjets.
"Ooohh!" LJ and Zofia said in amazement.
"We're driving in style now!" Princess Angelica giggled. "I learned that from Eddy."
"Okay!" Ed exclaimed, pulling the others inside. "Now to grab the others!"
Princess Angelica beamed.
"Just hang tight, kids, and I'll have us there in no time!" Professor told them before driving off. "Where we're going, we don't need tires."
"Just like in Back to the Future!" LJ exclaimed as they took off for Eddy's place.
Meanwhile, at that point, the other kids had gathered at Lionel's RV. Cherry seemed to be staring at her laptop screen.
"You about ready to go?" Lionel asked Cherry.
"Yeah, I guess..." Cherry said. "I'm in a bit of a slump though... Writer's Block is a disease."
"Don't worry," Lionel replied. "Perhaps this trip will give you what you need: INSPIRATION!"
"I guess we'll see," Cherry said, shutting down her laptop and when the screen went black, she then shut the top together and carried it in her arm, heading out the door. "Let's hit the Holiday Road."
"Can do, co-pilot!" Lionel replied, before seeing the others outside. "Oh, jeez... Sorry for keeping you waiting, kids. I should let you inside so you can warm up!"
The group nodded and shivered since it was cold outside right now. Lionel unlocked the door and unlocked all the other doors, turning on the warm air for them and they all rushed inside to warm up.
At that point, the Ed-van showed up, flying towards the ground, as LJ waved to the group. "GANGWAY, EVERYONE!" he shouted.
"I think we have more company." Cherry blinked.
"We're ready to go!" LJ replied. "Professor, you can follow behind in the Van. Eds, Princess, GIT ON IN HE-YAH!"
The Eds soon came out with Princess Angelica.
"Mm... Fuzzy." Cherry said about Princess Angelica's coat.
"It's very cozy." Princess Angelica smiled.
"Guys!" LJ announced. "You know the Eds. This is their new friend, Angelica."
"Angelica?" The others asked, thinking of someone else they knew who shared that name.
"Ah, don't worry, she's nice." Zofia told them.
"I am," Angelica smiled to the group. "It's so nice to meet you all."
"Hm... You seem cool enough, I guess." Gaz replied.
"As do you." Vincent replied.
"Buckle yourselves up," announced Lionel. "Next stop, Bluffington!"
The kids soon buckled up, though Eddy buckled up Angelica.
"Oh, Eddy, you're so charming." Angelica smiled to the boy.
Eddy blushed at that, but kept his cool. "Hey, you know me: I eat, sleep and breathe charm!" he replied.
Double D seemed to roll his eyes a bit while the young princess just giggled to Eddy. As they soon rode off in the RV, someone appeared to be watching them, taking a closer look to Chrissy.
"You'll pay for abandoning me, Chrissy... Trust me... You'll see that it's way better with me around... No matter what happens..." The voice said, sounding both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. "Especially when you want that boy LJ all to yourself. Why should you share him with that annoying Kimberly girl who hangs around cats all day?!"
LJ felt a small twitch in the back of his head, though he ignored it.
"I do hope you're careful, Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz," Double D said. "Driving in the snow can be dangerous."
"Don't worry, kid, we do this all the time." Cherry reassured.
"Yeah!" Lionel replied. "This baby is built to resist everything nature throws at it, and a few things outer space throws at it, too!"
"Clever," Angelica smiled to that. "I look forward to this trip."
"Yeah, you and everyone else here!" Lee (Clark) replied.
"Thanks for letting Lee come," Estelle beamed to LJ. "I couldn't go to a new place that has a dance coming up without him."
"We're givers." Zofia chuckled.
"What can we say?" shrugged LJ. "Sometimes it just ain't an adventure unless you got ALL your pals with ya!"
"Oh, I can vouch for that," Akito smiled before glaring. "Any bullies though better stay away."
"I do remember Brother mentioning someone named Roger Klotz in some of his letters from Skeeter." Zofia replied.
"Yeah," LJ replied. "From what I read, he was a real rotten egg. A total jerk, even. And through some crazy stroke of luck, he somehow ended up getting rich! Where's karma when you need it? Not to mention, he's STILL a jerk!"
"I think he needs a bit of a Cartman Land experience if you know what I mean." Cherry mumbled slightly.
"You mean losing his money through some sort of zany plot?" replied Lionel. "Clever~"
"Oh, yeah." Cherry smirked.
Lionel snickered as he kept on driving, as the rather warm windshield melted off the snowflakes that kept on sticking to it.
Luckily it wouldn't be too long of a ride as they soon made it into Bluffington and everyone peeked out and the people of this town were rather colorful, if you know what I mean.
"Looks like this is the place." Lee guessed.
"You were right," Eddy remarked. "It does look like a box of crayons puked all over the people here!"
"Vivid imagery..." Double D muttered from what Eddy said.
"Looks pretty cool to me." Ed chuckled as he took a look with them out the windows.
"Gotta say, pretty cool to look at," LJ nodded. "Like a mural you'd see on a poster!"
"Are we staying in one of those fancy Five Star Hotels?" Chrissy asked Lionel, leaning over a bit.
"Well... Sure," Lionel replied. "I'll take care of it, like during my Spring Break adventure with the cast of Tiny Toon Adventures!"
"Uh... You do that." Chrissy replied.
"That place needed a makeover..." Cherry rolled her eyes from the hotel they nearly stayed in with the Tiny Toons around then.
"For sure." Lionel replied.
"Hmm... Well, I hope we can stay in someplace decent." Chrissy said.
"Girls and boys will be separated." Cherry replied.
"Aww!" Kimberly pouted.
LJ shrugged. "Such is life," he replied. "Some things are just worth waiting for."
"Sorry, kids, but we just think it would be easier that way," Cherry told them. "But don't worry, you can always visit each other before it's time to go to bed."
"Works for me!" Zofia replied.
A couple of boys were shown to be riding on their bikes.
"LJ, dear, I think I see one of your friends." Cherry said, seeing one of the boys.
LJ glanced out the window. "Oh, that must be Skeeter!" he remarked. "Maybe we oughta pull over and say hi!"
"Stop the car!" Cherry then said.
Lionel nodded and soon stopped the RV suddenly.
"Ooh!" Angelica blinked. "Hmm... I guess now would be a good time to explore this new dwelling."
"That's the idea," LJ nodded as he climbed out. "Time to take in the new scenery!"
The doors soon opened up as the young group jumped out onto the snow after Cherry and Lionel parked nearby.
