There was silence from the stands as the smoke began to clear.

Nobody knew what to expect, but then all of a sudden, something came falling from the sky.

"Look! Up in the sky!" Debbie pointed to seven mysterious figures falling from the sky.

Everyone looked up towards where Debbie was pointing towards.

Suddenly, the figures got closer and closer to the ground. The figures were Henry, Stanley, Mark, Dastardly, I.Q., and Ivana falling from the explosion and right towards the edge of the finish line.

"Whoa!" Alan exclaimed as they all stood up.

"Holy cow!" Flip exclaimed.

The racers landed half an inch away from the finish line. They all weakly stretched their arms to touch the line and win.

Everyone leaned forward from their seats as the racers tried to touch the finish line.

The racers stretched their fingers longer until finally, Stanley managed to touch the finish line with his index finger.

"It looks like we've got a winner!" Segal shouted as Stanley managed to later drag himself across the finish line after touching it with his index finger.

Tons of confetti blew out of the cannons on the flagpole and the crowd went wild for the new champion.

"Noooo!" Dastardly shouted. "Muttley, this is all your fault!"

Dastardly angrily bonked his dog on the head.

"No fair! No fair!" I.Q. whined. "I was gonna be the new champion. I used math, logic, everything! It's not fair!"

I.Q. pounded his fists on the concrete and started crying like a baby.

"Woohoo!" Tinker shouted as everyone in the stands stood up. "We've won!"

"We did it! We did it!" Mark cheered. "Alright!"

"Congratulations boys!" Debbie said as she ran up to the guys and hugged them. "We've won!"

"All thanks to my chuckleheaded brother." Henry said as he gave Stanley a noogie.

"Wow!" Suzie said as they all cheered from the stands. "I sure can't believe it!"

"Just goes to show how amazing we Chan's are!" Flip boasted.

"Oh yup." Alan agreed.

"Congrats to our new Wacky Race champions!" Reginald said as he handed the championship trophy to the gang. "We certainly enjoyed having you here, and we hope you come with new surprises for next season!"

"We sure will, Reginald." Henry nodded.

However, Tinker just remembered something important.

"Speedy!" He gasped as he ran over to his fallen dune buggy's remains.

Sharing looks with each other, Mark, Debbie, Henry and Stanley quickly rushed over to join Tinker.

They stared sadly at the remains of their fallen friend and there was a large silence as the audience left to go home.


Later that night, Henry, Stanley, Mark, Debbie, Tinker, and Dr. Quest went back to the garage to give their mechanical friend a proper funeral.

"Man oh man." Dr. Quest remarked.

"We're all gathered here today to say goodbye to a beloved friend..." said Stanley. "Does anybody have any words to say about our dear Speed Buggy?"!

"How about you go first, Doc?" Henry asked as he turned to Dr. Quest.

Just as Dr. Quest was about to speak, Tinker interrupted him.

He cleared his throat. "Speed Buggy was more than just a talking car, he was like a brother to me. A brother that I never had, a brother I could've spent my life with, but all because of that stupid race, that will never come to be..."

"Uh Tinker?" Dr. Quest tried to speak.

"...Speedy and I had great times together, we could drive on the open road and talk all day..." Tinker continued. "But that will never happen. Speed Buggy, I am and will always be...your friend!"

Tinker threw himself down on the ground and started to sob his eyes out.

"Tinker..." Dr. Quest tried to talk again.

"What is it now, Doc?" Tinker finally turned to Dr. Quest.

"Well, I was able to tap into Speedy's remains and found his memory chip inside. I should have him rebooted in no time." Dr. Quest explain.

"Well why didn't you say that? Get right to it!" Tinker demanded.

"I would've if you didn't interrupt me." Dr. Quest shrugged.

"I was burying my soul." Tinker folded his arms. "Now please to get to fixing our car. We have to have it ready for next season!"

Dr. Quest sighed and started to work on rebuilding the car.


Meanwhile, Suzie and the prince were standing beside the beach stargazing together.

"Wow, Hawaii sure is lovely at nighttime." said Hareem.

"Yeah, too bad you'll have to go home tomorrow morning." Suzie said.

"I know." Hareem frowned. "Which is unfortunate, considering what happened yesterday."

"Guess we won't really see each other again, huh?" Suzie sighed.

"Maybe we don't have to be apart forever." said Hareem.

"What do you mean?" asked Suzie.

"Maybe you can...I don't know...come to my country with me...perhaps?" Hareem offered.

"You mean like, for a visit?" Suzie questioned.

"No silly, I mean I want you to come live with me and my family at the palace." Hareem explained. "You'd love it there, Suzie. People will cater to you day and night. You'll be a princess, immortalized in paintings that depict you in the finest clothes and jewelry, loved and respected by subjects and peasants alike."

"Oh, that." Suzie nodded thoughtfully.

"So, will you come back with me?" The prince asked hopefully.

Suzie sighed as she turned towards the sea, then she turned back to the prince.

"I honestly don't know." She admitted. "I mean, you're a great guy, Hareem, and I'd like to spend time with you. However, I have a family that I only recently started to know of."

"But don't you want to be a princess and get married?" Hareem asked.

"I guess, but I can't leave my brothers and sisters behind, they need me to take care of them." Suzie said. "Spending time with you has been great, but for now, my place is here on the island with my family."

Hareem paused his lips before he nodded thoughtfully. "I understand."

"I'm glad you do." Suzie have Hareem a kiss on the cheek, which she then caressed. "But, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy these last few hours we have together..."

"I suppose so..." Hareem nodded.

Suzie and the prince wrapped their arms around each other and were about to kiss, when all of a sudden...

"Sorry folks, this is private!" She said as she turned towards the fourth wall.

THE END!


Author's Note:

Well folks, here comes the end to another mystery. Somehow, I don't think this is the last we have seen of Prince Hareem. But for now, let's go back to Crystal Cove and see how Jabberjaw and his Neptunes are doing. After that, we have a big surprise for you!
