Narrator: 27.35 minutes later...

552: So... uhh... Anyone have any idea what's taking Brit so long?

(young): Well, the grocery store is pretty far away, I suppose.

Vegi-La: It's right next door.

(young): Oh.

552: You guys don't think he ditched us, do you?

(young): No.

Vegi-La: Nuh-uh.

Ace: Never.

AGW: Hell, I woulda!

JLR: [izzat so?]

AGW: [who, me?]

Ace: CJ isn't looking to happy over there.

CJ: [you sunnuva...]

(young): CJ will be fine. She is in complete control of her emotional state. I even taught her a number of relaxation techniques on the journey back from the arena.

AGW: I'm sold. So CJ, how about we go--

CJ: Watermelon.

Chant: Yeah, about that, we--

CJ: WATERMELON!

Ace: Sure, CJ. If you just wait for a little while longer I'm sure Brit will be--

CJ: WATERMELON [AAAHHHH!!!] !

Chant: I'm sold too. I've got some... hero-type duties to take care of.

552: You can't just leave us here.

Door: SLAM!

The male members of the JLR all look at each other, then at CJ.

CJ: [AAAHHHH!!!]

552: What was that?

AGW: What?

552: Sounded like a cat stuck in a tree somewhere.

Vegi-La: I didn't hear any cat.

(young): Neither did I.

552: Just listen.

Everyone listens.

A voice that sounds suspiciously like 552 impersonating a far away cat: Meow! I'm a cat and I'm stuck in a tree. Help. Meow!

552: Well, gotta go. Duty calls.

Vegi-La: But--

Door: SLAM!

(young): I have to go... attempt to regain some more lost memories.

Ace [running to block the door]: Oh no you don--

(young) disappears in a flash.

Door: ...

AGW: So that's what it feels like.

Ace: Well, I've gotta go too.

Vegi-La: Hold on. Where are you going?

Ace: I... uhhh... have a date with Rogue tomorrow.

AGW: So, why do you have to leave now?

Ace: I... uhhh...

CJ:  -

Ace: ...have too much to live for.

Door: SLAM!

AGW [looking around]: I have no excuse, but I ain't stayin' here.

Vegi-La: Wait, Wednesday. In this form it's difficult to move. I'll be here by my--

AGW: Yeah, you're right and I'm sorry. I would never leave you like this.

Vegi-La: Thanks man.

AGW: Hey, you remember that time I was with Alice AND Beatrix and you came and locked me in the closet? That was funny, huh?

Vegi-La: Yeah, it was kinda fun--

Door: SLAM!

Vegi-La: Ok, La, get a grip! Just don't look in her eyes. Whatever you do, just don't look in her eyes.

CJ:  -

Vegi-La: But I don't wanna die with a third arm  - .
