Azalea Place
It's a usual day at Azalea Place, the hotel the FoxHunters stay at.
Our brave squadron is alone in the restaurant eating their breakfast.
Lia, Europe, Cjinn and David sit around a table,
while the others either have went downtown or still are in bed.

David:		So, soon we're going to the Saratoga...
Lia:		It's going to be so weird, meeting people you've only seen on TV.
Europe:		Is anyone else nervous?
Lia:		Nervous?? Nah... of course not!
David:		Nope.
Cjinn:		Seriously...?
David and Lia:	Way nervous...

Suddenly the FoxHunters see something extremely out of the ordinary..

Lia:		Oh my god!
Europe:		What the hell is that?
Cjinn:		Huh? Oh, that. It's just ChigSoljer singing
		"I love old-fashioned Rock'n'Roll" in his underwear...
David:		Oh.
ChigSoljer:	Am I the new Elvis, or what?
Lia:		Chiggy! We're trying to eat breakfast!
ChigSoljer:	But isn't it nice with some entertainment while you eat?
Everyone:	CHIGGY!
ChigSoljer:	Alright, alright! Geez Louise!

ChigSoljer goes upstairs.

Cjinn:		And for God's sake, get dressed!

Europe stands up.

Lia:		Where are you going?
Europe:		For some reason, I'm not that hungry anymore...
		I think I'll go for a walk.

Europe gets his walkman, and puts on his sunglasses.
***
It's a hot, sunny day, and Europe walks down the street,
while listening to "The Final Countdown".

Then suddenly he sees something.

Europe:		What the...?

Deathangel and Bruce come running towards Europe.
Then they stop to rest.

Europe:		What's the rush?
Deathangel:	Europe, have you seen DarthSalem?
Europe:		No, why?
Bruce:		Well, we were walking in the park,
		and DarthSalem was sitting on Angel's shoulder.
		But then we stopped to look at some birds,
		while DarthSalem rested on a rock.
Deathangel:	And when I turned around to say something to him,
		he was gone!
Europe:		Oh, that's terrible...
Bruce:		We've looked everywhere, but we can't find him!

Then the guys see DayLate coming from the park.

Bruce:		Hey DayLate, have you seen DarthSalem?
DayLate:	No, is he missing?
Deathangel:	Yes, and we've looked everywhere!
		Oh, I hope he's OK...
???:		Is this your bird?
Everyone:	Huh?
***
Back at Azalea Place...

Lia's in her room together with Cjinn and Bonesaw,
while listening to a radio.

Lia:		Finally I'm going to meet Nathan...
Cjinn:		How wonderful it will be to finally be able
		to stand face to face with McQueen...
Bonesaw:	Oh, what am I gonna say to Cooper when I see him...
Everyone:	Sigh...

Just then they hear on the radio:

Some guy:	Now let's hear the latest hit:
		A duet by Britney Spears and N'Sync called...

Lia then picks up the radio, and throws it out the open window.
Then she sits down back on her bed.

Bonesaw:	Uh... what were we talking about again?
***
Somewhere else...

ChigSoljer:	He he, now I'm gonna surprise Shadow!
		This is gonna be so great!

ChigSoljer knocks on the door to Shadow's room.

Shadow opens the door.

Shadow:		Yeah, what is it... AAAHHHH!!
***
Outside...

???:		Is this your bird?
Everyone:	Huh?

They turn around and see...

Europe:		Darkman! Nice to see that you finally got up...
Darkman:	(yawns) Yeah..
DeathAngel:	Oh, you found DarthSalem!

DarthSalem flies from Darkman's shoulder to DeathAngel's.

DeathAngel:	Where did you find him?
Darkman:	I saw him sitting in a tree.
		It looked like he was looking for something...
Bruce:		Or someone...
DayLate:	What do you mean, Bruce?
Bruce:		Dunno.. But something's definetly going on here.
		DarthSalem knows when trouble is coming.
Europe:		What could it be...?
***
At Azalea Place...

Shadow:		AAAHHHH!!

After opening the door, Shadow sees ChigSoljer standing
in his underwear, holding a guitar. He plays and sings
the most terrible song that's plagued the Earth...

ChigSoljer:	I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...
Shadow:		CHIGSOLJER!!!
ChigSoljer:	Uh-oh...

ChigSoljer runs away with the guitar in his hand.

Shadow:		I'm gonna get you for this!!

Shadow runs after him.

What neither of them knows, is that Flash has seen it all.
AND filmed it with his video camera.

Flash:		He he, maybe I should send this to
		some "Funniest Home Videos" show.. Or maybe not..

Flash decides to throw the video in a garbage can.

Flash:		Don't want to make innocent viewers sick...

He then picks it up again.

Flash:		I know! I'll send it to those FOX bastards...

He laughs out loud.

Flash:		If that doesn't make them get "S:AAB" back,
		then nothing will!

He then goes to the post office.
