Sooo....let's start. Everyone ready to save Val, Urse, and the kids? ;)

(Peter nods - he's still tied up.)

Mike: Let's get those devils! X(

Micky: Definitely! X-(

Davy: Let's show ‘em what we're made of! X(

Lauren: Yeah! X-(

(We start directly back in the bungalow where Shelia and Alex are keeping Val and Peter. Val lays on the couch, covered with "The Goo," the black substance that slows both the body and the mind. The two devils lean over her, happily evil smirks on their faces. Peter watches in abject sorrow and horror. :o )

Alex: She looks much better like this. ;) >:)

Shelia: *nods* Yes, she does. >:)

(Valerie starts to move slowly, groaning.)

Shelia: Let’s see what kind of fun we can have with her. *puts her fingers to Valerie's temples and rubs* >:)

Valerie: No... (but she eventually falls limp; Peter whimpers :( )

Alex: *smirks* I think I get your drift, Milady. ;) >:)

Shelia: Then would you do the honors, Alex? ;)

Alex: Of course. *puts his hand on Valerie's stomach, feeling for her child's soul*

(Peter shakes his head, struggling and screaming under his gag. :o )

Alex: Very interesting, Milady. The child can even sense our evilness. ;) >:)

Shelia: Excellent. >:)

(Peter strains in his bonds, trying to free himself. :o )

Shelia: Continue probing the child's soul. Perhaps, in the meantime, I might talk the Aristocrat into giving it up to us. >:) ;)

(Peter's eyes widen in pure horror; he shakes his head and thumps his chair, trying to get loose. :(( :o )

Shelia: *as Alex continues what looks like a massage on Valerie's stomach* My dear Aristocrat, I know you want the absolute best for your child, and here's your chance to have that. Let us take the child. We could give it anything and everything it could ever want. *to Alex* Alex, can you tell what the gender of the child is?

Alex: *in concentration* It's a male.

(Peter screams and strugles as hard as he can, shaking his head. :o :(( )

Shelia: Excellent. A son. My dear Aristocrat, I know you can give your son a lot in life, but wouldn't you like for him to have everything imaginable? Just say that we can take him and he will! >:)

(Peter finally struggles so hard, he knocks his chair onto the floor. He groans and tries to sit up, still shaking his head, "Valerie, don't do it!" garbled under his gag.)

Shelia: Well, dear Aristocrat? What do you say?

(Valerie slowly nods; Peter shrieks helplessly under his gag. :(( )

Shelia: Excellent. Now, if we could just have this in writing... *snaps her fingers, making a contract appear* And now you must be willing to sign this lovely piece of paper. ;)

(Val reaches for it...but pulls back, shaking her head. Peter nods, smiling. :) )

*Shelia waves her hand over Valerie's face, causing a black light to drift across her face. Valerie is left staring dully back at nothing in particular.*

(Peter's smile falls. :( :o )

Shelia: *nods, smirking once again* Now that's a good Aristocrat, now... *snaps her fingers, this time making a pen appear* Of course, you need something to write with. ;) >:)

(Valerie nods slowly. She is about to reach for the pen when a small "boom!" is heard outside.)

Shelia: What was that?

Alex: Don't look at me! ;)

(Peter frowns and tries to make his way over to Valerie and the contract, still bound to the chair.)

(There's a second small boom, this time closer to the bungalows.)

Shelia: We better see what's going on, but first, *sends a black light over Valerie and she's gone when it clears, along with the contract* we must keep the Aristocrat out of harm's way. ;) >:)

(Peter shakes his head and tries to get to the devils. :o :(( )

*Shelia & Alex leave Peter where he is, ignoring him, & go outside to see what the noise is

(the noise is.* )

(We see Peter struggle for a few moments helplessly. He finally collapses, sobbing and still tied to the chair. :(( )

(There are two small blue lights, and the four children appear in the bungalow, Chrissy holding Katie.)

Chrissy: I'm so glad those weird people decided to go somewhere else! :p

Katie: Bad! :p

Little Mick: Uncle Peter! :-O

Chrissy: (Eyes widen; puts Katie down) Peter! Oh god, what happened? You look like one of the people they rescue on "Hawaii Five-O" re-runs, all tied up like that! :o

Peter: (As Chrissy unties him) Thanks, honey. Are you ok?

Chrissy: Yeah. They didn't hurt me, just tied me up. The Black Magic Lady from your wedding was going to have the girls do something to me, but I guess we annoyed her too much, because she put us to sleep instead. :p

Shelly: Uncle Peter okay?

Peter: I'm ok, but the...those bad people have Aunt Valerie. They want her to give them our son. :(

Chrissy: They want Valerie's baby? Why? :o

Peter: They want to raise him to be...well, to be a bad person.

Chrissy: No way! We can't let them do that! You guys made that kid fair and square! :p

Little Mick: Bad people! *blows a razz* :P ;)

Chrissy: Yeah, that's how I feel, too. (Frowns) Hey, what's with the guy with the nasty scars who sort of looks like Micky? He acts really weird. He was talking about covering some rock with this icky black stuff...

Peter: Ursula! (Puts a hand on Chrissy's shoulder) Honey, that rock is VERY important. It's the source of...well, it's VERY important.

Chrissy: Is it a diamond, or a ruby? Oh, maybe it's a rare emerald from Brazil! Sarah's dad once bought her mom a small one in a ring for her birthday. :)

Peter: She...it's a not a gem. It's a very, very rare type of crystal, and we have to find her...it.

Chrissy: Peter, what's going on? What's so big about that rock? Why did that crazy guy who looks like Micky only with scars dump black stuff on it? Why did they take us? The Black Magic Lady said she was going to mold the girls, make them do things to me. (Shudders) She didn't say what, but I have the feeling it had nothing to do with Jello! :p

Shelly: Bad people. :P

Peter: (Nods at Shelly) VERY bad people, Shelly, some of the worst in the world. (Sighs) Chrissy, I'll explain it when we find the rock and Valerie, ok? It's really complicated.

Chrissy: Ok. (Looks around) Peter, where are we? The Black Magic Lady said we were in an amusement park, but she didn't say where.

Peter: We're at the now-abandoned Midway Amusement Park near San Diego. We think the lady intended to remodel this park to hurt people...specifically US and you kids.(Looks around) Do you know where the rock is?

Valerie: I think they mentioned the fun house...

*Little Mick nods.*

Peter: We'll have to go there, then. (Thoughtful) By the way, do you know who made that explosion?

Chrissy: Not a clue. I don't know how WE got here. One minute, we were in the other house, then there was this blue light, and we were here!

Peter: That's part of what I have to explain to you, Chris.

Chrissy: And the twins did it!

*The twins grin at each other.* :D

Peter: (Hugs the twins) Nice work, you two! You're getting better with that! (To Chrissy) That's one of our powers. We can travel anywhere, even backwards and forwards in time, just by using our imaginations! :)

Chrissy: Like "Superfriends" or something? Really? Honestly?

Peter: Do I lie very well? ;)

Chrissy: Wow! :D

*The twins shake their heads.* ;)

Peter: We can all do it - me, Valerie, the other Monkees, Lauren, Emma, Daph, and our kids. (Frowns) We haven't been able to do it as well lately because the rock is the source of our powers, and Shelia and Alex stole it and weakened it.

Chrissy: Oh, man! The rock gives you your power?

Peter: (Nods) That's how we were able to do all that stuff at Christmas. We normally keep the rock hidden, but Shelia and Alex - the bad people - found it and stole it.

Chrissy: We've got to find it, so you can get your power back and keep that Shelia from taking your baby!

Peter: Exactly. (Looks at the twins) My power might just be strong enough to add to yours and get us to Aunt Valerie.

Katie: (Tugs on Peter) Me! :D

Peter: (Picks up Katie) Of course. We can't forget Miss Katie, too! Someday, she'll be able to use her powers, just like the twins and the grown-ups! :D

Chrissy: Even Katie? Wow. :o

(Katie growls a little, grinning. :D)

*Little Mick snickers at Katie's growl.* ;)

Peter: (To the twins) You kids ready to help? :)

Katie: Go! :D

Shelly: Yeah! :D

Little Mick: YEAH! :D ;)

Chrissy: (Wiggles a finger in her ear) They're ready. ;)

Peter: Ok, kids. Close your eyes and think "save Aunt Valerie and Ursula!"

Chrissy: I wish I could travel like that. :p

Peter: We'll imagine you with us. (Smiles) If you close your eyes and imagine, too, maybe it'll help get there faster. :)

Chrissy: I don't know how, but ok...

(Everyone closes their eyes, even Katie. There's a soft blue light, and they fade out on the bungalow.)

*They fade back in the fun house lab. The twins grin proudly.* :D

Chrissy: (Looks around, her eyes wide with surprise) Wow! It looks like Dr. Frankenstein's lab! :o

Peter: Nice work, kids!

Little Mick: (Points at the box holding Ursula) Bad box! :P

Peter: Bad box? What's wrong with the box?

Chrissy: (Tugs at some of the wires) There's all these wires hooked up to it. Must be that experiment that nut Alex was talking about.

Little Mick: Holds something! Something not belong in there! :P

Peter: It does? Little Mick, is Ursula in there?

Little Mick: Think so. *nods*

Chrissy: Ursula?

Peter: The rock.

Chrissy: You named a rock?

Peter: She's a pet rock. ;)

Chrissy: Why would someone put a rock in a box with all these wires?

Peter: He's trying to take Ursula's powers! :o

Chrissy: How are we going to get her out?

Little Mick: Open. :)

Peter: (Nods) Just take off the lid and take her out, I guess. (Takes off the lid and pulls the black-coated Ursula out...but he's wincing as he puts his hand in the black light in the box and looks more worn for a second)

Chrissy: Hey, are you ok?

Peter: (Nods, sweating a little) That box is filled with the bad people's powers. They make us feel tired and a little nauseous, like we were punched in the gut after staying up all day and all night.

Chrissy: That's not fun. :p

Shelly: Yucky. :P

Peter: (Puts Ursula on the table; she's still covered with "The Goo") She's still got all that stuff all over her. (Nods at a bunch of towels) Let's wipe it off, kids. It'll make her feel better.

Little Mick: Okay!

Chrissy: Well, all right, but I feel sort of weird. (Takes a towel for herself and hands smaller rags to the twins. Katie grabs a little piece of dustcloth. :) )

(Peter puts Ursula on the floor, and he and the kids lean over her and wipe her all over. She's clean when they're done. Peter tosses the towels and rags in a hamper filled with gooey cloths.)

Peter: Oh, man, Ursula, can you hear me? Urse, are you ok?

(Ursula blinks faintly.)

Chrissy: You're talking to a rock.

Peter: She can hear us and understand everything we say. She used to be a human, like us.

Little Mick: Rock talk. :)

Chrissy: How did she end up as a rock?

Peter: We're not sure...and she isn't, either. Our ancestors did it hundreds of years ago to save her from her sister getting her.

Chrissy: (Puts a hand out) Ok, ok, Peter. This is just too weird. Your ancestors somehow turned a person into this rock so her sister wouldn't get her?

Peter: It's a very long story. I'm sure Ursula will explain it, if we can somehow get her feeling up to par again.

Shelly: Rock need hug? :)

(Ursula blinks weakly, glowing a watery, faint blue.)

Peter: (Nods) Sure. It couldn't hurt. We just needed to touch Ursula to break the mute spell her uncle put on her a few years ago. :)

Chrissy: We're going to hug a rock?

Little Mick: Yeah! :)

*The twins hug Ursula first.* :D

(Peter puts his arms around Ursula and the twins. Chrissy is hesitant at first, but then puts her arms around them. Katie finally runs over and throws HER little arms around everyone. ;) :D)

Peter: Think about how much you love her...and each other, and your parents. About how you appreciate how she's helped us.

Chrissy: I don't understand any of this, but I'll think of Daddy and Valerie and Sarah and how much I want to have a nephew. :)

Katie: Ma! Da! :D

Shelly: Mommy and Daddy! :)

Little Micky: Mommy, Daddy, and FOOD! :D ;)

Peter: (Chuckles; Chrissy giggles) Oh, Micky! :)

(Peter's version of "I Don't Think You Know Me" begins as we watch the entwined group. The wavery blue light in the middle of the young man and the children gradually grows brighter and brighter, until it becomes so intense, Peter and the kids pull back. Everyone shields their eyes. Katie cuddles into Peter; the twins hold each other. Chrissy takes Peter's arm with one hand while covering her eyes with the other. As the song continues, we see the outline of a human form...a female one. As the music ends, the light fades out as gradually as it appears.)

Woman: (She sits up. We only see her from the neck up, as she's naked; her face is badly scarred, but it's obvious she was once very beautiful; she has sapphire-blue eyes and short, jagged-cropped hair that's so pale it's almost white) I...I... (stares at her hands in shock)

Peter: You...how can you...you can't be...

Katie: Oooh! :o

Chrissy: Whoa. :o

Little Mick: Lady! :-O

Shelly: Wow...

Woman: Peter...it's me....(smiles)...it's Ursula. :)

Peter: But how...

Ursula: (Nods at the now-silent crystal) You all believed in me...you loved me...it was enough to bring my soul from the crystal...

Peter: What happened to you?

Chrissy: You look like someone took a knife to your head. :p :o

Ursula: (Runs her fingers over her ragged cheeks and lips) Julia...she did this, when she...well, when she took me out. She was jealous...jealous that I could attract males more than she could...jealous that Uncle liked me better...(softly) and this is how she vented her rage. :( X(

Shelly: Poor lady! :(

Peter: That's horrible! :(

Chrissy: Man, that's just so WRONG. :p

Peter: Ursula...um, could you... (nods barely at her naked body and blushes)...um, cover up? No offense, you're still pretty, but, well, there's children here, and... (blushes harder as he gestures at Little Mick; Chrissy snickers ;) :">)

Little Mick: What? ;)

Ursula: (Looks down and blushes a little herself) Oh, my. Clothing isn't exactly the first thing on your mind when you've spent almost 500 years in a hunk of rock. (Concentrates; there's a blue light over her, and she now wears a soft, loose, white medevil-style gown) Better? ;) :)

Peter: Yeah... (still blushes) :">

Shelly: Pwetty. :)

Chrissy: I think so too, Shelly. You look like an angel, Miss...

Ursula: Ursula of Berlin, Christina Cartwright. :)

Chrissy: You know my name, too?

Ursula: Your brother and sister told me. ;)

Chrissy: This is the weirdest thing that has EVER happened to me!

Ursula: This is nothing, young lady. After 500 years, I've seen things that would make your head spin in five different directions. (Stands and looks around; the others do, too) Peter, Valerie is in grave danger. I know from my link to my sister that she and Alex have her on the grounds of this amusement park somewhere...and that they intend for her to sign a contract that would make them your son’s parents and Valerie a handmaiden to my sister. :p X(

Peter: (Nods sadly) I know. I saw them do it. They heard these explosions and left with Valerie before anything could be signed. :(

Chrissy: What's so important about Valerie's son?

Peter: He'll have our powers too, Chris. They're inherited.

Chrissy: Is that how the twins have them?

Ursula: (Nods) Yes.

*The twins grin.* :D

Chrissy: Wait. How do you know where your sister is?

Ursula: I'm linked to her. I can feel where she is. I know how she's feeling...and right now, she's overwhelmingly and disgustingly happy and satisfied. :p

Peter: That isn't good. :p

Chrissy: Who IS your sister?

Ursula: The Devil.

Chrissy: WHAT? :o

Little Mick: Bad lady! :P

Peter: Chrissy, the lady who tied you and me up and tried to hurt you and the kids and hurt Ursula is the real Devil, and the man who looks like Micky is her apprentice.

Chrissy: (Shakes her head) I don't believe any of this. This is too much.

Peter: (Puts a hand on Chrissy's shoulder and frowns) Ursula, she's overwhelmed. This is a lot for one kid to digest in one day.

Ursula: She'll understand better when we find my sister.

Peter: (Puts his hand on his heart) I think Valerie is out on the grounds. (Frowns) And she's still not quite right, too. She's feeling slow, woozy, and a bit confused. They must have put her under a trance.

Chrissy: Like they did at your wedding?

Peter: (Nods) Yes.

Chrissy: That Black Magic Lady is a pain! I wish that punch HAD melted her! :p

Ursula: I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, dear. We'll have to transport to the grounds as quickly as possible. (Takes the twins' hands) Everyone hold hands, close their eyes, and think "main amusement park grounds."

(Everyone does so. There's another blue light, stronger this time, and the group fades out. Cut to the old, decaying carousel, with the skeleton of the wooden roller coaster in the background. "Merry Go-Round" plays as the group looks around the eerie sight. It's still early in the day; shadows are cast over the ancient machine as it turns creakily. We faintly see shapes sitting on the horses; one is covered with black liquid. Peter, his mouth open and his eyes shocked, glides closer to the machine as the song and the merry-go-round itself wind down. The entire video has a dreamy, hazy quality that fades as the video ends.)

Chrissy: Valerie, is that you? :o

Ursula: Shelia, what have you DONE to her? X(

Peter: Please, Shelia, let her go! I don't want to give up our son! We want to raise him ourselves! :o

Shelia: *steps out from behind the carousel, from one side as Alex emerges from the other; she holds up the still unsigned contract* I'd so hoped that you'd get to see your wife sign this, dear Bard. >:)

Peter: NO! No! I won't let her sign! It's my child too, Shelia!

Ursula: (Steps out from the children) Julia, you'll do no such thing. I won't allow it. X(

Shelia: *smirks* Why, Ursula, how nice to see you again! >:) ;)

Chrissy: Uh oh. I'd better get you guys outta here. I don't think this looks good. (Takes Katie in her arms and hurries over to an open concession stand, followed by the twins)

Ursula: Let her go, Julia.

Shelia: No.

Peter: (Trying hard not to cry) Please! PLEASE! She's my heart and soul, Shelia!

Ursula: Julia, this is between you and me. I gave them the powers.

Shelia: Fine. I'll finish you off, dear sister, then take care of the rest of them. >:)

Ursula: We'll see. (Nods at Peter) Peter, get away from here. Go with the children.

Peter: I won't leave Valerie!

Ursula: Peter, this could get extremely nasty. I don't want you hurt.

Peter: But...(Looks to his black-covered wife on the carousel) :(

Ursula: Peter, NOW! Get OUT of here! This is between me and my sister. X(

(Peter takes one sad look at Valerie before hurrying to the concession stand with the kids. :(( )

*Alex goes around to gather up Valerie. He disappears with her. A black light reappears across the open grounds, next to another bungalow. Valerie now lays on a cot. Alex stands next to it, arms folded.*

(Brief cut to Peter, who holds Chrissy, who holds Katie. The twins are under them, holding each other. He whimpers; Chrissy makes a face at the cot.)

Chrissy: Oh, man, we've got to get to Valerie!

Peter: (Nods) While Ursula is distracting Shelia. Good idea, Chris.

(Cut to the carousel. Ursula steps onto it.)

Ursula: (As Shelia joins her) Julia, I want you to leave these children alone. They're my family.

Shelia: That is the exact reason why I won't leave them alone. I need successors! >:)

Ursula: Make your own, then. (Nods at Alex) You have the means. (Grins) And I know you have the capbability. ;)

Shelia: *eyes narrow* I'd prefer to choose my successors. :P ;)

Ursula: Why the child of the Bard and the Aristocrat?

Shelia: Because of its innocent soul. *smirks* Alex felt it. >:)

Ursula: (Softly, more to herself) Inherited from his father. (Soft growl) I should have known. The first born son of the Bard has that in his soul.

Shelia: It's perfect. The more innocent the soul, the more easily it can be molded. >:)

Ursula: You stole one family from me, sister. I won't let you do it again. We're equal now, Julia. (She reaches off and rubs at Shelia's cheeks...revealing the ugly scars there) Neither of us is a raving beauty, and no one is Uncle's favorite.

Shelia: *eyes narrow* I don't care about being Uncle's favorite anymore. He's gone. I took over. *points at Ursula* But you'll never be equal to me! >:)

Ursula: No, little sister. You were always jealous of my power. Love is a stronger emotion than hate...and it fuels my powers. That's why the Guardians have beaten you and your minions time and time again. They love each other and care about each other very much.

(Sighs) Julia, let them alone. Let them lead peaceful lives. Let them play their music and raise their families.

Shelia: No. X-( >:)

Ursula: Julia, I'm giving you a chance. I won't fight you unless I have to.

Shelia: Then you're going to have to fight me. >:) ;)

(Ursula ducks a blast of black light from Shelia as "All the King's Horses" begins. She darts among the peeling, cracked horses, occasionally sending light back at Shelia.)

*Shelia waves a hand around in a circle, causing the carousel to lurch to life, spinning relatively slowly.*

(Ursula is nearly knocked off her feet by the sudden start...enough that Shelia knocks her onto one of the moving, painted horses, which turns into a knock-down, drag-out catfight. There's a quick cut to Peter with the kids as they quickly duck out of the concession stand and quietly make their way over to where Alex holds Valerie.)

(Ursula zaps Shelia's nose and gets away. Shelis'a nose grows almost three feet long and sprouts leaves and flowers. ;) )

*Shelia grabs a handful of Ursula's hair and pulls.* :P

(Ursula growls and reaches for Shelia's head, since she doesn't have enough hair left after "Hell Bent" to grab. ;) :p)

*Shelia makes a steel folding chair appear in her hands. She swings it at Ursula, who ducks.* :P

(As the two women struggle fierecely, the camera cuts to Alex standing at Valerie's cot, bored. Suddenly, he puts his hands up. The camera moves to show Peter holding his bow and arrow on Alex. Chrissy wipes Valerie off as best she can, while the twins and Katie run over to Alex, jump on him, and tickle him without mercy. ;) )

(Ursula makes a face. Shelia shoots a black light her...and smashes a mirror, as it turns out she was only shooting her sister's reflection. :p)

*Shelia growls when she catches a glimpse of Alex getting the crap tickled out of him.* X-( ;)

(Ursula grins and tickles her sister. :D ;) )

*As the music fades, there's a sudden yell.*

Micky: *grinning; an odd gun-shaped machine in his hands, aimed at Shelia* If you so much as even BREATHE wrong, Shelia, you’ll be on your knees begging for us not to harm you because you'll be so weakened and drained of your power that a feather could knock you over! *turns to the others* How'd that sound? ;) :D

Lauren: *nods* Very nice, Mick. ;)

Mike: I knew watchin' all those John Wayne movies would rub off on you someday, boy. ;) (The remaining Guardians run over to the carousel as it slows to a stop.)

Davy: 'Ey, who’s the blond chick?

Ursula: You know me very well, Lord of the Manor. I'm Ursula. :)

Mike: You're kidding.

Davy: You must be joking!

Micky: *with the "gun" still trained of Shelia* No way.

Ursula: Your children and Peter helped bring my soul out of the crystal. :)

Emma: Where are the kids? Are they ok?

Peter: We're over here!

Little Mick: We tickle! :D ;)

Chrissy: And we have a prisoner! After we tickled him, we tarred and feathered him! (The kids move...to reveal Alex covered with "Goo" and feathers, groaning and still laughing a little. ;) )

Mike: Nice work, cowpokes. ;)

Micky: I'm impressed. ;)

Lauren: That's...interesting. ;) :))

Peter: I finally just transferred the black stuff from Valerie to Alex. She's on the cot, sleeping it off. :p

Mike: So, what are we going to do with our prisoners? ;)

Ursula: We could always send them back to jail for kidnapping. ;)

Emma: The closest sheriff's office is at least fifty miles away. Besides, they'd never believe this.

Micky: I say I get to use our secret weapon. ;) :D

Mike: I say Mick actually has a good idea for once. ;)

Ursula: I want to see this "secret weapon." Show us how it works. ;)

Mike: Sure. Mick, will you do the honors? You designed it. I just built it. ;)

Micky: *grins* You got it! *turns his full attention back to Shelia, who'd been starting to back away* Just WHERE do you think you're going, Shelia? That's VERY naughty, devil-girl! *aims* Fire! *pulls the trigger; a brilliant blue light shoots from the barrel of the gun, hitting Shelia full in the chest; the light slowly and completely engulfs her; he lowers the gun, admiring his work; Shelia is glowing blue* Not bad, huh? A devil nightlight. ;) :D

MIke: Not bad at all. ;)

Ursula: Wonderful! :D

(The kids fall over laughing. =)) )

*Shelia slumps to the floor of the carousel with just a hint of an angry look on her face. The rest is wide-eyed worry.* :-O

Emma: Well, Shelia, what do you have to say for yourself now? ;)

Shelia: *gulps* I'll get you for this...I think... :-O :P ;)

Chrissy: Well, what are we going to do with them now?

Ursula: I say just leave them here.

Davy: But they could come after us again!

Ursula: Not without transportation.

Peter: (Puts a hand on Shelia's shoulder) She's confused and scared and very angry. She can barely feel her powers, and she's not used to that.

Mike: You know, come to think of it, the only cars I saw here were the MonkeeMobile and the jeep. (Grins) Shelia, how did you get here? ;)

Shelia: B-black l-light...f-forgot p-purse. :( :P

Emma: Well, imagine that. No money for the bus. ;)

Lauren: Shame. :P ;)

(The twins run up to their parents with a leather, wallet-like object.)

Micky: Our kids, the pick-pockets. *makes a face* Another bad habit we'll have to break them of. :P

Peter: (Takes it; it's a bit gooey) Kids, is this Alex's wallet?

*The twins nods, grinning.* :D ;)

Mike: (Takes the wallet) Well, well. What can we do with this?

Lauren: Anything we want, I'd say. ;)

Ursula: I'd say leave the wallet, make the money and any identifcation reappear back at the Devils’ home, leave Alex tarred for a while, and tell your children that it's not nice to steal from other people, even devils. ;)

Emma: Right. We won't steal. We'll just make sure they can't get out of here for a long time. ;)

Micky: *nods* Okay, kiddos, *kneels down* even though he's a bad man, it still wasn't nice to take something that belongs to him. You got it?

*The twins frown, but nod and say "Yes, Daddy!" in unison. Lauren grins.* ;) :)

Ursula: (Looks at her sister) You love this place so much, Julia, we're going to leave you and your lover to it. I hope you're both very happy here. (Shrugs) Who knows? Maybe you can really make something out of it. (Takes the money and ID cards from the wallet and makes them vanish, then leaves the wallet next to Alex.) Alex’s cash and license is now sitting on his desk at your home under the ghost town. ;)

*Alex squirms slightly.* :P

(There's a groan from the cot. Valerie slowly sits up.)

Valerie: Where...what happened?

Chrissy: Val! (She and Peter run to Valerie) Are you ok?

Valerie: Yeah. Just a slight headache. :p

Peter: (Puts a hand on Valerie's stomach) How's the little Tork? :)

Valerie: (Smiles) He's just fine, honey.

Peter: (He and Chrissy help Valerie to her feet) Honey, let's go home. :)

Valerie: Sounds good. :)

Ursula: I think it's time I went home, too. ;)

Mike: What do you mean?

Ursula: I'm really a spirit, Michael. The crystal is my home. I think what happened is that the children and Peter placed so much concentrated love on me that they freed my body from it...but it's still a part of me. (Smiles) Whenever you need me, just love me, and I'll be there. I'll still communicate from the crystal, of course, but I'll pop out whenever there's a real emergency. ;) :)

Emma: That's wonderful! (Picks up Katie) Isn't that wonderful, Katie? :)

Katie: (Grins) Yay! (Claps) :D

Mike: (Claps, too) Yay! Yay for Auntie Ursula! :D

Peter: (As the group claps) Come one, everyone. Let's go.

Chrissy: Could we stop and get lunch? I'm starved!

Little Mick: Food! :D ;)

Mike: We'll pile into the nearest diner and celebrate the arrival of Auntie Ursula.

Ursula: Thank you, Michael. (Smiles as she fades) Good luck...to all of you! I love you all! (She fades...and the crystal reappears)

Davy: (Gathers the crystal) Ok, everyone, let's move 'em out!

Mike: All troops into the jeep and the MonkeeMobile for Malibu Beach! ;)

Katie: Yay!

Emma: We're going home, sweetie. :)

Katie: Go! :D

Shelly: Home! :D

Chrissy: What about...

Peter: We'll explain it all in the car on the way home, Chris. Right now, Val needs rest.

(Val just gives a tired smile. :) )

Emma: Ok, gang, move 'em out! (She walks off, singing the fast version of "I Wanna Be Free" - gradually, the others join her as they pile into the cars and ride off into the morning shadows. Shelia remains in front of the still slightly moving merry-go-round, a tired but angry look in her eyes as Alex screams and struggles. The orchestra picks up the original "I Wanna Be Free" as the camera fades out on the two devils, the merry-go-round, and the panorama of the desert and the rusting machines.)
