Glinda Brings Tombo to Life/Hiram and Tombo's Groups Bond

*(Later that night, all was quiet for a while, when suddenly, the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings were stirred awake by the sound of ticking clocks, much to their chagrin. The teens stuffed ten pairs of earplugs into their own ears to muffle the noise, only to hear Hiram, Fidget, and Ponyo snoring really loudly)*

Adagio: (Sleepily) Ace? Tell those clocks to stop ticking so loudly.

Aria: (Sleepily) As well as Hiram, Fidget, and Ponyo snoring so much.

Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings except Ace, Adagio, and Aria: (Sleepily) Please?

Ace: (Awake, calmly) With pleasure.

*(Finally fed up, Ace had had enough with the commotion)*

Ace: (Fed up, loudly) SHADDAP!!!

*(Finally, all the noises stopped. The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings finally took the earplugs out of their own ears and relaxed)*

Ace: (Composes himself, relaxed) After all, enough’s enough.

Arturo: (Sleepily) Thanks, Ace.

Snake: (Sleepily) Now we can all go to ssssssleep.

*(And that’s exactly what the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings did. They all settled down and fell asleep for the night. Suddenly, a pink/white bubble-like light from the wishing star appeared closer and closer)*

Starlight: (Waking up slowly, agitated) Oh, what now?

Ace: (Waking up slowly, somewhat annoyed) Now what’s up?

*(The glowing bubble star was coming closer to the open window. Then the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings woke up and somehow got surprised)*

Billy: (Surprised) Hey! What’s going on here?

*(He, his brothers, and the Dazzlings hid in a porcelain jar. It was then that a beautiful woman appeared from the bubble star in front of Hiram’s bed. She has fair skin, short curly light brown shoulder-length hair, rosy cheeks, light blue eyes, and wearing red lipstick on her lips, a tall silver crown with star points, a light pink floor-length dress with short poofy shoulder sleeves attached to long sleeves, silver neck and sleeve rims, and silver stars all over the dress, a silver butterfly-shaped brooch on her neck, white stockings, light pink undergarment pants with poofy legs and light pink frilly ankle rims, a light pink sleeveless undergarment shirt, white stockings, and light pink shoes, and carried a long silver wand with a platinum star (Decorated with silver sequins) on the top. She is Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. As she looked around, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings peeked out of the pot, with Arturo having a love struck expression on his face)*

Arturo: (Love struck) *¡Como vivo y respiro!* Glinda the Good Witch of the North!

*(Ace and Starlight noticed his look, and Ace cleared his throat in annoyance while Starlight looked somewhat jealous. This caused Arturo to compose himself. Glinda turned to the sleeping Hiram)*

Glinda: Good Hiram Flaversham. Since you have given so much happiness to others, you deserve to have your wish come true.

*(Then she turned to Tombo and tapped her wand on the top of his head)*

Glinda: Little puppet made of pine, awake. The gift of life is thine.

*(At this, the strings on Tombo’s back disappeared. Then suddenly, he started to move and blinked, rubbing his eyes. The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings could not believe their eyes)*

Sonata: (Surprised) What you can't do these days?

Starlight: (Surprised) I'll say.

Gangreen Gang, Adagio, Aria, and Trixie: (Surprised) Yeah.... (Yessss....)

*(Tombo looked around, looked down at his hands, and moved them)*

Tombo: (Amazed, quietly) I can move....

*(Realizing he was talking, he covered his mouth and gasped in amazement)*

Tombo: (Amazed, quietly) I can talk?

*(Glinda chuckled a bit as the wooden teenage boy tried to stand up, taking a few steps in the process)*

Tombo: (Amazed, loudly) I can walk!

*(Unfortunately, he fell back down)*

Glinda: Yes, Tombo. I have given you life.

Tombo: (Curiously, using an indoor voice, not too quiet) Why?

Glinda: Because tonight, Hiram wished for a real boy, and his daughter, Olivia, wished for a big brother.

Tombo: Am I a real boy?

*(The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings, with Arturo still love struck, still hiding, got closer to listen)*

Glinda: (Smiling softly while shaking her head) No, Tombo. To make Hiram and Olivia's wish come true, it will be entirely up to you.

Tombo: Curiously) Up to me?

Glinda: Prove yourself brave, honest, and generous and someday, you'll be a real boy.

Tombo: (Excitedly) A real boy!

Trixie: That won't be easy.

*(The others nodded in agreement, with Grubber blowing a raspberry)*

Glinda: You must learn to choose between right and wrong.

Tombo: (Confused) Right and wrong? But how will I know?

Billy: (Shaking his head) How will he know?

Glinda: Your conscience will tell you.

Tombo: What are conscience?

Ace: (Rolling his eyes in annoyance, mockingly) "What are conscience?" *(Jumps down while speaking seriously)* We'll tell you!

Dazzlings and Gangreen Gang except Ace: Wait for us.

*(They followed him, and they all landed in front of Tombo)*

Ace: A conscience is that still small voice people don't listen to.

Adagio: That's the trouble with the world today….

Tombo: (Cutting her off) Are *you* my conscience?

Aria: (Shocked) Who, us?

*(Glinda chuckled a bit)*

Glinda: Would you like to be Tombo's shared conscience?

*(The ten teens saw Glinda smiling at them, and Snake blushed, muttering some stuff)*

Snake: (Stammering a bit, slightly nervous) Well, b...I...I... *(Blushing)* Uh-huh.

Glinda: Very well. What are your names?

Adagio: My name is Adagio Dazzle.

Aria: Aria Blaze.

Trixie: I'm Trixie.

Sonata: I am Sonata Dusk.

Starlight: Mine's Starlight Glimmer.

Dazzlings: And we're the Dazzlings.

Ace: I'm Ace D. Copular. But just call me Ace.

Snake: Mine isssss Ssssssanford D. Ingleberry, but everyone callssssss me Ssssssnake, gotsssss it?

Glinda: (Nods) Understood.

Arturo: My name is Arturo de la Guerra, but you can call me either Li'l Arturo or Arturo, okay? Okay.

Billy: Duh, my name is William W. Williams, but just call me either Big Billy or Billy.

*(Grubber blew a bunch of raspberries)*

Glinda: (Confused) What's with the raspberries? Can't he...?

Ace: (Politely cutting her off) Nope. Can't talk. Just communicates through raspberries.

Tombo: Then what did he say?

Ace: He said "My name is Grubber J. Gribberish, but just call me Grubber. And Ace and us consist the Gangreen Gang."

*(A short pause)*

Ace: That's what he said.

Glinda: (Nods in realization) Oh, all right. *(To the Gangreen Gang)* Kneel, boys. *(To the Dazzlings)* Kneel, girls.

Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings: Huh?

*(Then they remembered as they all bowed low)*

Adagio: No tricks now.

*(With a white glow, Glinda tapped her wand on the ten teenagers, and they began to glow)*

Glinda: (Voice-over) I dub you Tombo's conscience. Lords and Ladies of High Keepers of Knowledge of Right and Wrong, Counselors in Moments of Temptations and Guides along the Straight and Narrow Path. Arise, Sirs Ace D. Copular, Sanford "Snake" D. Ingleberry, Li'l Arturo de La Guerra, Grubber J. Gribberish, and Big William "Billy" W. Williams. Arise, Ladies Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, and Sonata Dusk.

*(The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings stood up and saw that they were no longer wearing German peasant attires. They were now wearing their main attires from Chapter 1)*

Ace: (Admiring his new look) This is pretty swell.

Adagio: (Admiring her new look) We look wonderful!

Trixie: (Admiring her new look) Not bad.

*(Grubber blew a raspberry in agreement, also admiring his new look)*

Snake: Thankssss, Glinda.

Aria: Thank you very much.

Arturo: But, uh, do we get badges or something?

*(Ace glared at him, but Starlight just smiled at him, her mind saying, "Be patient. We'll get some soon enough.")*

Glinda: Well, we'll see.

Billy: If we do well?

Glinda: I shouldn't wonder.

Sonata: That should be up to us.

Starlight: Make them gold ones.

Glinda: Maybe.

*(She turned to Tombo)*

Glinda: Now remember, Tombo. Be a good boy. And always let your conscience be your guide.

*(As she disintegrated into her glowing pink bubble star, she began to sing)*

Glinda: **Fate is kind**

**She brings to those who love**

**The sweet fulfillment of**

**Their secret longing**

**Like a bolt out of the blue**

**Fate steps in and sees you through**

**When you wish upon a star**

**Your dreams come true**

*(Then with that, she faded away completely into the night)*

Arturo: (Dreamingly a little) *Adiós, mi dama.*

Dazzlings and Gangreen Gang except Arturo: (Waving goodbye) Goodbye, Glinda.

Tombo: (Waving) Goodbye.

*(After Glinda left with the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings in charge of Tombo, the Gangreen Gang leader was busy looking at his reflection in a red vase, admiring his new look)*

Ace: (Humming contentedly) Not bad, says I.

Adagio: You look very handsome, Ace.

Ace: (Smiling) Thank you, Adagio.

Arturo: (Getting Ace and Adagio's attention) Hey Ace and Adagio! Remember?

Ace: (Realizing) Oh yeah.

Adagio: (Realizing) Of course.

*(They laughed a bit and turned around to face Tombo)*

Ace: Almost forgot about you. Now Tombo, maybe you, my brothers, and our sweethearts need a little heart-to-heart talk.

Tombo: Why?

Adagio: Well, you want to be a real boy, don't you?

Tombo: (Nods) Uh-huh.

Snake: All right.

*(He and the other teens seated themselves)*

Aria: Sit down, Tombo.

*(Tombo obeyed)*

Billy: Now you see, the world is full of temptations.

Tombo: (Puzzled) Temptations?

Starlight: (Nods) Yes, temptations.

*(Grubber began to make gestures as Arturo spoke)*

Arturo: They're the wrong things that seem right at the time.... *(Stammering a bit)* But.... Uh.... Even though the right things may seem wrong sometimes....

*(Grubber stopped making gestures, and he, Ace, Snake, Billy, and the Dazzlings looked at Arturo in confusion before the latter continued, and Grubber resumed making gestures)*

Arturo: (To Tombo) Sometimes the.... The wrong things, uh.... *(Stammers)* May be right at the wrong time, or.... Vice-versa. *(To Grubber)* Thanks, Grubber.

*(Grubber blew a raspberry that reads "You're welcome.")*

Starlight: Understand?

Tombo: (Shakes his head) Uh-uh.

*(The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings smacked their own foreheads in annoyance before they could hear Tombo change his mind)*

Tombo: (Determined) But I'm gonna do right!

*(The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings stood up as they smiled)*

Ace: Good boy.

Trixie: And we're gonna help out.

Ace: And, anytime you need us.... You know, just whistle. Like this.

*(He demonstrated by giving a whistle)*

Tombo: Like this?

*(He tried to whistle, but failed)*

Adagio: (Shakes her head) No, no. Try it again, bud.

Tombo: Like this?

*(He tried again, but it was no use)*

Starlight: No, no, bud. Now listen.

*(She whistled three times. Tombo tried to whistle twice, and on the third time, he whistled as loudly as he could. And it worked, he whistled loud and clear)*

Snake: (Smiling) Yessssss! That'ssssss it!

Aria: (Smiling) Well done, Tombo!

Arturo: (Grinning) Come on, *amigo*! Let's sing!

*(He, his older brothers, and their girlfriends began dancing randomly. As Tombo watched, the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings jumped on the wooden ledge as they started to sing)*

Ace: **When you get in trouble**

**And you don't know right from wrong**

Adagio: **Give a little whistle**

*(She whistled into her hands)*

**Give a little whistle**

*(The whistle echoed out of Adagio's hands. Then the other members of the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings took turns singing)*

Snake: **When you meet temptation**

**And the urge is very strong**

Aria: **Give a little whistle**

*(She then whistled into her hands)*

Aria: **Give a little whistle**

*(The whistle echoed out of her hands. Tombo smiled and whistled into his own hands while the Dazzlings did the same thing)*

Trixie: **Not just a little squeak**

**Pucker up and blow**

*(Grubber blew a raspberry into a jar, causing his spit to fly inside. Trixie laughed a bit and shook her head)*

Trixie: (Smiling) No, no, no, Grubber. Let me try that.

*(She blew into the jar, only this time, causing a low sounding tone. Tombo smiled as he slightly stood up)*

Billy: **And if your whistle's weak, yell....**

Tombo: (Happily guessing) The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings?

Arturo and Starlight: Right!

*(They and the other teens now balanced on the thin string of a violin, still singing)*

Arturo: **Take the straight and narrow path**

**And if you start to slide**

Starlight: **Give a little whistle**

*(They slid as the string made a high note)*

Starlight: **Give a little whistle**

*(Another high note was made)*

Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings: **And always let your conscience be your guide**

*(Then the violin string they stood on snapped, and that sent them flying back onto the ledge. Grubber imitated a trombone by blowing raspberries four times. Then they stopped in front of a red vase and looked at their reflections in it. Trixie vocalized four times, until she and the others fell backwards and landed on a saw, which made rhythmic whistling sounds as they bounced on it until they jumped on a cuckoo clock. Ace knocked on the small door while his brothers and their girlfriends moved the big hand. The figures on the cuckoo clock came out with the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings leading the way like they would be at the parade. As the figures went back inside the cuckoo clock, the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings completed their little tune)*

Billy: **Take the straight and narrow path**

**And if you start to slide**

Sonata: **Give a little whistle....**

Arturo: (Winking at the last figure, which is a farm girl) Yoo-hoo!

*(The farm girl seemed to look back at him and the others as it turns its head in their direction)*

Sonata: **Give a little whistle....**

Arturo: (Grinning excitedly) Whoo-hoo!

*(He tried to follow the girl into the clock, but it closed the door on him, making Starlight laugh a bit and the others shake their heads in disbelief)*

Gangreen Gang and Dazzling: **And always let your conscience be your guide**

*(Tombo then decided to sing and dance along as he started to walk away)*

Tombo: **And always let your conscience be your guide**

*(But as he said this, he accidentally tripped, bumping into some craft tools and crashing to the floor)*

Ace: (Shocked with the others) Look out, Tombo!

*(But it was too late, for the sudden noise had startled Hiram, Garfield, Odie, Kiki, Jiji, Olivia, and Fidget awake. The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings ran fast for cover and hid underneath an open book while Tombo, who had just recovered, hid underneath Hiram's workbench)*

Hiram: (Alarmed) Who's there?

Tombo: (Whispering) It's me.

Hiram: (Sighs in relief) Ah, it's me.

*(He settled back to sleep, but then he jolted up again when he suddenly realized there was somebody in his workshop)*

Hiram: (Startled) Huh?!

*(He looked at Garfield and Odie and shushed them)*

Hiram: (Whispering) Guys, there's somebody in here.

*(As the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings poked their heads out from underneath the book a little, Kiki woke up, climbed out of her bed, put on her slippers, opened her curtain, and walked over to Hiram's curtain with Jiji in tow. She opened his curtain and noticed the man all shook up)*

Kiki: What is going on?

Hiram: (Startled, whispering) Shh! I think I just saw someone in my workshop. It may be a robot, only made of wood!

*(Now it was Olivia's turn to wake up. She unzipped her sleeping bag, climbed out, and unzipped her tent as Fidget jumped out of the Kangaskhan doll's pouch. Then they opened their curtain and walked over to Hiram's already open curtain)*

Olivia: What just happened?

Fidget: And what's all the ruckus?

Hiram: (Startled, whispering) I just saw a wooden robot come to life!

Kiki: (Confused) Wait, what?

Olivia: (Confused) A wooden robot?

Jiji: (Flabbergasted) Impossible!

Fidget: (Flabbergasted) Robots are made of metal, not wood.

Hiram: (Whispering, determined) I know, but I'm gonna find out where this bawhide monstrosity is!

*(He got out of bed, put on his slippers, lit a candle, and took out a small rifle from underneath his pillow)*

Hiram: (Whispering, determined) Okay, come on out! I have a gun, and I'm not afraid to use it.

*(He, Olivia, Fidget, Kiki, and Jiji tiptoed carefully and slowly as Garfield and Odie hopped out of their own beds and followed them)*

Garfield: (Exaggerated) It's the middle of the night.

*(Odie nodded in agreement and whimpered in a fear. Fidget shushed them)*

Fidget: (Whispering) Careful now, boys.

Kiki: (Whispering) We're hunting a wooden robot.

Olivia: (Whispering) He could spring out at us anytime.

Jiji: (Whispering) Agreed.

*(They all crept slowly until they were near the place where Tombo was. The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings watched this and snickered quietly)*

Hiram: (Whispering) He's in here somewhere.

Tombo: (Loudly, poking Jiji's butt) Here I am!

*(Jiji freaked out as he screeched in fear and scrambled on Hiram's back, making the Scottish man shoot his rifle onto the floor in surprise. Olivia and Kiki both screamed and fainted in surprise. The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings got out of the way just in time. The clocks went crazy, but the noise settled down as Hiram quickly recovered and stood up straight. Olivia and Kiki woke up from their faint. They all saw Tombo on the floor)*

Garfield: Hello there.

Jiji: Hi.

*(Even Odie panted in joy to see Tombo under the workbench. Hiram picked up the wooden boy and placed him back on top of the workbench)*

Hiram: (Surprised) Oh, Tombo! How did you get down here?

Tombo: I fell down.

Hiram: Oh, you did, hmm?

*(Then he paused. Something didn't seem right. Was he hearing things? When he realized that the puppet boy he made was talking to him, he backed away in surprise)*

Hiram: (Surprised) Oh! You're talking!

Tombo: (Nodding) Uh-huh.

Hiram: (Beginning to break away in fear) No, no, no, no!

Tombo: (Waving his arms) Yes. And I can move too!

Hiram: (Panicking) No, no, no, no, you can't! *(Running around the room)* Oh, I'm dreaming in my sleep! Wake me up, wake me up!

*(He grabbed a pitcher of water and poured it over his head, getting Garfield, Odie, and Jiji wet, much to the two cats' annoyance)*

Jiji: (Flatly) Really?

*(After he dried himself off with the towel and dried his pajamas and slippers in a nearby dryer, Hiram calmed down, put his now-dry pajamas and slippers back on, made a look, and turned to Tombo)*

Hiram: (Determined) *Now* we'll see who's dreaming!

*(After Garfield, Odie, and Jiji shook the water off of their fur, Hiram and the others came up to Tombo)*

Hiram: (Determined) Go on, say something!

*(Tombo stared at his soon-to-be father before he snickered)*

Tombo: (Grinning) Gee, you're funny. Do it again!

Hiram: (Gasps in surprise) You *do* talk!

Fidget: (Surprised) He can talk?

Tombo: Yes. The Good Witch of the North came.

Olivia: (Surprised) The Good Witch of the North?

Tombo: Yes, and I got ten consciences.

*(Hiram and the others became interested slowly as the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings smiled at this. Then Hiram and the others noticed the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings as the ten came out of hiding and got amazed)*

Hiram: Bless me bagpipes! Actual fairies.

Olivia: They *are* real.

Kiki: So you're Tombo's consciences?

Ace: You bet.

*(Then after introductions with the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings, everything was explained more about Tombo's quest)*

Tombo: And someday, I'm gonna be a real boy.

*(A short pause, then Hiram and the others got happy)*

Olivia: (Amazed and happily) Just like we wished for.

Hiram: (Amazed and happily) Aye! A real boy.

*(Garfield, Odie, Fidget, and Jiji smiled)*

Hiram: (Happily) Guys, look! He's alive! He can talk!

*(He looked at Tombo)*

Hiram: Say hello to Garfield, Odie, Fidget, and Jiji.

*(He lowered Tombo as the latter looked at the two cats, bat, and dog and began to pet each of them, much to their delight)*

Tombo: Hello to Garfield, Odie, Fidget, and Jiji.

*(Ponyo jumped in and out of her fish bowl)*

Ponyo: (Excitedly) Hey! What about me?

Olivia: (Realizing) Oh, we almost forgot!

*(She and the others walked over to the fish bowl, with Hiram already having picked Tombo up, and showed him to Tombo)*

Olivia: Look, Ponyo! It's Tombo.

*(She looked at Tombo)*

Olivia: She's mine and my father's little water baby. Isn't she cute?

Tombo: Yeah. Cute.

*(He petted Ponyo who smiled at the compliment)*

Ponyo: (Flattered) Oh, that's so sweet!

*(She jumped up to give the puppet boy a kiss. Then she jumped up to give Garfield a kiss, and the fat cat hissed in disgust while Odie, Fidget, and Jiji laughed a bit at this. Hiram laughed a bit)*

Hiram: This calls for a celebration! Music, maestro!

*(Then they proceed to turn on some music boxes to celebrate by their music)*

Hiram: You and Ace start one too, Tombo.

*(Tombo went up to a music box and he and Ace pressed it too, smiling. Then everyone danced as the pets, Gangreen Gang, and Dazzlings looked at each other and smiled. Garfield and Odie walked around the music boxes and danced when they heard the one with three birds)*

Starlight: (Excited, pointing to one nearby music box) Look, everyone!

Arturo: (Excited) *¡Vaya!* A party!

*(He, the other members of the Gangreen Gang except Snake, and Dazzlings danced while Snake walked up to two dancing wooden figurines)*

Snake: Mind if I cut in?

*(He danced with the female dancing figurine as the Dazzlings and the rest of the Gangreen Gang watched this)*

Snake: How about ssssssinging out the next one, babe?

*(Suddenly, Ace noticed a male dancing figurine coming up towards Snake)*

Ace: (Shocked) Hey, Snake, get out of the way!

*(But Snake already got stuck between the two dancing figurines)*

Snake: (Trying to free himself! Hey, let me out! Let me out!

*(The snake-like boy then got unstuck as the rest of the Gangreen Gang except Ace and the Dazzlings tried not to laugh. Ace just shook his head in annoyance. With the others, the fun continued as Hiram played an accordion as Kiki, Olivia, and Garfield danced with Tombo, Fidget, and Odie respectively. Hiram danced over to Ponyo's fish bowl and swirled his finger around in the water)*

Hiram: (Happily) Come, Ponyo, join the party! Dance!

Ponyo: (Happily while spinning around in her fishbowl) I love parties!

Jiji: (Happily) Me too!

*(Even Olivia danced with Fidget. Tombo then noticed a candle on the table)*

Tombo: (Awed) Ooh, nice!

*(Kiki, Jiji, Olivia, Fidget, Garfield, and Odie noticed that the wooden puppet boy was about to play with fire)*

Garfield: (Alarmed, trying to stop Tombo) Tombo, don't!

Kiki: (Alarmed) Wait!

Hiram: **Tra-la-la-la**

**Gathering toys**

**Tra-la-la**

**For my little boy**

*(Meanwhile, Hiram was gathering some of his toys to give to Tombo, Kiki, and Olivia. But what he didn't notice was that Tombo and Garfield were playing with the candle. It was then that Tombo got a little fire on his left index finger)*

Tombo: (Smiling while holding up his finger) Look, pretty!

Olivia: (To Tombo, shocked) Tombo, your finger is on fire! *(To Hiram)* Daddy, Tombo is on fire!

*(Hiram finally took notice, dropped the toys, screamed a bit, and grabbed Tombo frantically. He panicked, trying to blow the fire off of Tombo's finger, but to no avail. Even Jiji ran ahead before Hiram accidentally stepped on his tail, making him yelp a bit in pain)*

Hiram: (Running around while panicking) Where's a bucket?! Get water! Where's water?!

*(Snake ran to Hiram, holding his hat with some water inside)*

Snake: (To Hiram) Here it issssss! I got it! Here'ssssss water! Here'ssssss ssssssome water!

*(But he tripped over a pencil and fell on his face, spilling some of the water out of his hat. Finally, Hiram spotted Ponyo's fishbowl and, after Kiki quickly took Ponyo out of the bowl, quickly dipped Tombo's finger in it, putting out the fire and making the water turn dark brown, making it look like soda. They sighed in relief as Hiram rubbed Tombo's finger a bit as Kiki dumped the blackened water out of the fishbowl and refilled it with fresh water)*

Hiram: (Relieved) That was close.

Olivia: Maybe we better go to bed before something else happens.

Kiki: (Putting Ponyo into the newly fresh water-filled fishbowl) Agreed.

*(Hiram carried Tombo to bed with him, Olivia, Kiki, Fidget, Garfield, Odie, and Jiji as Olivia, Fidget, Ponyo, Odie, and even Snake laughed a bit at this funny entertainment, making Garfield and even Ace glare at them, trying not to lose their temper, that Ace even socked Snake in his face. Later, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings had already bathed, washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and combed their hair. And now they were dressed in their pajamas while preparing to climb into their own their sleeping bags by unzipping each zipper. Ace was now wearing a purple long-sleeved pajama jacket with buttons and pockets, purple long pajama pants, white socks, and yellow slippers without his sunglasses. Snake was now wearing an orange long-sleeved pajama jacket with buttons and pockets, orange long pajama pants, white socks, and brown slippers without his hat. Arturo was now wearing red long-sleeved footy pajamas with snaps and white neck and sleeve rims. Grubber was now wearing a dark red long-sleeved pajama jacket with brown checkers, pockets, and plain dark red buttons, dark red long pajama pants with the same brown checkered pattern as his top, white socks, and sienna slippers. Billy was now wearing an extra large sky blue long-sleeved pajama top with buttons and pockets, sky blue extra large long pajama pants, white socks, and dark green slippers. Adagio was now wearing a lilac long-sleeved pajama top with buttons, lilac long pajama pants, and purple slippers with her hair untied. Aria was now wearing a turquoise green long-sleeved pajama top with buttons, turquoise green long pajama pants, and blue slippers with her hair untied. Starlight was now wearing a blue long-sleeved pajama top with white checkers, a matching collar, and blue buttons, blue long pajama pants with the same white checkered pattern as her top, and green slippers with her hair untied, but without her hat. Sonata was now wearing a fuchsia long-sleeved pajama top with buttons, fuchsia long pajama pants, and slippers with her hair untied. And Trixie was now wearing a dark blue long-sleeved pajama top with a yellow sun, moon, and stars on it and plain dark blue buttons, dark blue long pajama pants with the same pattern as her top, and plain dark blue slippers without her star barrette)*

Ace: (Yawning, smiling while removing his slippers, along with the rest of the Gangreen Gang, except Arturo, and the Dazzlings) Little guys and gals, you've had a busy night.

*(And with that, they climbed into their own sleeping bags, zipped them up, rested their heads on their own pillows, closed their eyes, and finally went to sleep. With Hiram, he had Tombo in bed with him, and Garfield and Odie were fast asleep in their beds. Kiki was fast asleep in her own bed, Olivia was fast asleep in her sleeping bag in her tent, and Fidget was fast asleep in the large plush toy Kangaskhan's pouch. After Hiram put out the candle, he cuddled Tombo, who was now wearing wearing a red long-sleeved pajama shirt and red long pajama pants)*

Hiram: Now close your eyes and go to sleep....

Tombo: (Curiously) Why?

*(Garfield groaned a bit in annoyance and turned over)*

Hiram: Oh, everyone goes to sleep. I need to sleep. Olivia and Fidget need to sleep. Garfield and Odie go to sleep. The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings go to sleep. And Ponyo, and.... *(Then he changed the subject)* And besides, you, Kiki, and Olivia have got to go to school tomorrow.

Tombo: (Curious) Why?

*(Garfield got annoyed and placed a pillow over his ears to muffle the conversation, but to no avail)*

Hiram: (Sleepily) Oh, to learn things, and get smart....

*(Tombo became even more curious)*

Tombo: (Curious) Why?

Hiram: (Yawning) Because.

*(He falls asleep)*

Tombo: (In realization) Oh.

*(Then he, too, and Garfield drifted off to sleep, with Tombo dreaming about getting ready for the next day)*

***Coming up: The next morning, after Tombo's group were ready for school, they soon meet up with two certain con artists who entice them to go become celebrities instead. But after declining the offer thanks to the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings' advice, Tombo's group, instead, go to school, only to be kicked out due to Tombo being a puppet, resulting in Tombo's group to accept the con artists' offer to become celebrities.***
