GRAB HER!
artickat
The Scooby gang move as one to save JilaCosa from the Phantom "I've got her!" Rangar yells out as he pulls her towards him.
"Wrong her!" SWORD calls to Rangar "That would be artickat you have there."
"Dren!" Rangar growls as he drops artickat on her butt.
"Ouch! Watch it buster!" artickat turns and points towards Rae. "The Phantom ran that way and I would have had him too, if you hadn't yanked me backwards!"
"I tried to grab him but he's a slippery one" Rae holds up her hand "But I did snurch this key."
"LOOK!" leaped yells out.
Up in the balcony the Phantom is standing with JilaCosa thrown over one shoulder and Santa over the other. The Phantom weighs his possibilities and decides to keep JilaCosa (much easier on the back and better looking) ;) "You want him? Take him!"
"Geez, The Phantom looks like he is going to loose it trying to hold Santa up." Tick looks at mouse.
"He's going to drop him!" mouse starts to rush forward in an effort to save Santa but Tick holds her back.
"Let go Tick ! What is wrong with you?"
"Santa won't get hurt." The Scooby gang look at Tick in disbelief "He BOUNCES!"
Just then Santa comes flying off of the balcony and the Phantom disappears with JilaCosa.
<BOUNCE>
<BOUNCE>
<BOUNCE>
"Isn't he great?!" Tick grins with a twinkle in her eyes. Santa walks over to the gang dusting himself off.
"HO, HO, HO, give Santa a hug, my little TickTick!"
((((((Tick))))))
"Are you okay Santa? He didn't hurt you did he?" Tick questions.
"Yes I'm fine and no he didn't hurt me. I think the Phantom got sick of hearing me tell him he was a bad boy! HO, HO, HO!" Santa looks at the Scooby Scapers "You go and save our little JilaCosa. I'm going to go home and see Mrs. Clause! HO, HO, HO!!!" Santa says with a dirty grin. ;)
"SANTA!" Tick laughs as she gives him a poke in the arm.
After Santa leaves everyone looks at each other.
NOW WHAT?
Raven Kat -- Rae breaks out the heavy artillery
Pies, pie cannons, an anti-aircraft pie launcher, the works.
"We'll save you, JilaCosa!" Rae shouts. "And, Raganr, the next time you grab a female scaper, it had better be me!" Rae frowns and shakes her head. "After him!" she shouts, running up the stairs to the balcony, pie launcher in hand.
goulagirl -- Looking up....
goulagirl spies the Phantom racing by with someone on his shoulder followed by the Scooby Gang. *sigh* Here we go again.
Good Luck people and may your dry cleaning bills be less than your credit card bills.
artickat -- “Which way did he go?”
KaraS asks as the Phantom just disappears. Looking around, the Scooby's see goulagirl, who is sitting in the hall.
"Did you see the Phantom?" leaped asks and goulagirl just nods her head.
"Can you tell us which way he went?" SWORD asks and goulagirl nods her head and points to a door at the end of the hall.
After thanking her, the Scooby gang run to the door. "It's locked!" mouse squeaks.
"Try the key you have Rae." Tick takes a step back to let Rae closer to the door.
Rae puts the key in the door and starts to open it...
fu manchu turkey -- Rae opens the door to find
GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE
standing in her way
goulagirl -- WHOOSH
The Scooby Gang is felled by a wave of tapioca pudding. A muffled giggle comes from the side. "Fools rushing in again," says goulagirl from she is sitting miraculously untouched by the pudding still flowing by. "You guys and girls really need to start looking before jumping. Didn't you see the sign?"
"What sign?" Rae demands indignately while carefully picking herself up,
"Well, that...oh...uhm, hang on a sec." goula gets up and walks carefully over to the wall and bangs on it a couple of times. A large neon KEEP OUT sign flickers on. "That sign."
"Add to that, if you would have been paying attention you would have seen me pointing not at that door-I wouldn't do that to yall-but to the hidden door."
"What hidden door?" questions TickTick as she turns from helping the rest get up from pudding slick.
"Well, that hidden...oh...uhm, just a moment." goula heads to the wall again and bangs a little higher and another neon sign saying HIDDEN DOOR blinks on. "That hidden door."
"Why have a hidden door if you just going to tell everyone where it is with a sign?" asks Ragnar. Or maybe it's SwordandMug. Still a little hard to tell with so much pudding on them.
"Actually, it doesn't tell you where the door is. Just that there is one."
"HUH?!?" The Scooby Gang look at each other and scratch their heads.
"Yeah, that was my reaction to it too. I eventually stopped trying to figure this place out a while back. Kinda just go with the flow now. Speaking of flow..."
goula steps to the wall once more, opens a panel, and pulls a lever. Sprinklers come out of the ceiling and spray a light mist over everyone.
After they manage to get relatively clean, goula lifts the lever back into the position and closes the panel.
"Well, at least you won't stick to anything now."
goula starts to walk away, turns back and says, "Thought about joining yall but I'm not sure how many more times I can remain miraculously untouched by whatever the Phantom tosses at you next. Not to mention what it would do to my diet. So I'll wish you alot of luck and good hunting Scoobies."
mouse in the lab -- The group hastily cleans up..
and races up the stairs again, heedless of goulagirl's warnings. They run through the door, around the fu_manchu turkey, and towards JilaCosa's screams. As they round the corner, they see the Phantom, struggling with JilaCosa, who is doing her best to slow him down. With a frustrated "arrrgghh", the Phantom drops Jila and races through yet another door. The group runs up to check and make sure Jila's ok.
"I certainly look better than you guys," she points out. "I guess all that tapioca didn't come off," remarkes artickat. Rae tries the door, but it won't budge, and no key is found to help this time.
"Maybe he's gone for good," says Mouse.
As the group makes their way back to the Farscapeballroom, they can't help but wonder what's next for the Phantom....
Thank goodness for the automatic cleaner-upper in the ballroom, so now we can get ready for yet another fling!
Raven Kat -- “Welcome back, JilaCosa!”
We just HAVE to do something about that phantom!" Rae snaps. "Think we can recriut him?" She lowers her voice. "See, I'm of the opinion that he has some real problems getting close to people. We need a plan..."
artickat -- Thanks mouse! ;) (NT)

Dabee -- Peeking in the door, Dabee sees all is
fine and leaves..."They don't need me!" she chuckles to herself..
Nice job everyone!
Take care!
:) Dabee
