Upon entering the kitchen of Polestar, Paula and Sandra rushed upstairs to find their parents, while Poo and Nebiroth, unknowningly being trailed by Bob waited. Poo wondered exactly what it was Sandra needed her mother's help for.

[Girl things Poo, girl things. You're pretty damn shy around girls, so I doubt you would understand. :P]

He however saw something peculiar on the stove top, where the pancakes Penelope had been flipping were still Frozen in the air. There was a freshly written note on the stove. Poo, knowing it wasn't there before, curiously ripped it off.

[Yeah because such a note being there isn't in ANY way suspicious. >.>]

However before he read it, he heard Bob yelp again. "Yahh!!" Bob screamed as he flew up into the kitchen wall in half-fright. Poo sighed at him, "I knew someone was following us, but I couldn't see him before. I bet I know why he's here."

[LOL, Poo might not so naive about girls after all. Bob certainly isn't that good at hiding his emotions yet, being used to always expressing himself. :P]

Poo walked up to Bob, and Crypha walked into the kitchen with... Jeff?

[I still love how JEFF of all people, the other one with no real powers, is the one who takes Bob off guard and scares him into the room. XD]

"Jeff? What're you doing here?" Poo asked, "Where's Ness?" "He's back at the complex, keeping a good watch on everyone."

[Yep, good ol' Ness, ever the vilgilant boy. :P]

"Hey, don't sneak up on me anymore, will ya?!" Bob growled at Jeff just after regaining his senses. "Sorry about that, but Poo, the reason I followed you is because you're the only one in this group that can teleport, and I... kinda need to check on the lab in Winters. I'm sure Dad's frozen too, but perhaps something there can benefit us in some way."

[Oh boy, Jeff's up to something... you can just tell by the tone in his voice. <.<]

"Got you." Poo replied, looking back to the note that Bob's little entrance snapped him out of. Reading it closely and half out loud:
"Dear Polestar Sisters," "Nebiroth sense trouble!" Nebiroth said after hearing the 'Polestar Sisters' part.

[Nebi, what on Earth makes you think a letter is a threat to them? O_o]

Poo continued though, 
"If you are reading this, you've likely looked around for your parents, Terrance, Lance and Johnson. Well, don't bother calling for them! They are now all my prisoners."

[Well crap, nevermind that insult... x.x]

"What?!" Bob growled, "Sandra's mom and dad have been captured?!"

[Yeah Bobby-boy, that's what it just said. :P]

"Quiet! Let me finish." Poo almost yelled back, "You see, the REAL Johnson has been in our grasp ever since 1 year prior to the time freeze. I needed to find someone here to pose as to learn more about the world and it's inhabitants for the Nomad.

[WHAT. A friggin shapeshifter?! DX]

I stumbled upon Johnson, neutralized him and sent him to the Nomad where he is a prisoner. As for the rest of your friends and your parents, I posed as the captured Johnson, and even let myself be frozen by the time freeze, though not on purpose. But in the end it ended up helping me more than hindering me, as I learned of Sandra's power to dispel the time field around the frozen, as well as learned from James about Paula and the other chosen of Earth, and of the Giygas incidents.

[Oh lovely, welp, I have to assume any cover Sandra had against the Nomad's detection has gone *whoosh* out the window. :P]

I haven't been able until recently, been able to report back to the Nomad out of fear I would be discovered by someone, but now that I know your secrets, your parents and their 3 friends are now my prisoners, and I am now likely back to the Nomad with the secrets of you two, and the other chosen of the planet. If you want to get your parents and their friends, and even the real Johnson back, I don't mind, but you'll have to find some kind of way to reach the Nomad.

[Gee, is that all? Considering the MDC cannon is there, and Johnny and Canemon's friggin space station couldn't get there, I can see it being oh-so-easy for them to get there. >_>;]

If you can even reach the Nomad I'll let them all go, but don't expect yourself or the other 3 chosen to go free so easily. We'll make sure that as much as possible that you never leave!

[Because you can check in, but you can never leave... muwahahahaha!!! XD]

- From
Valius a.k.a. the fake Johnson

[I have no idea where the name 'Valius' came from, and no I don't think he was anything like an AC either.]

P.S. We also know about some of your powers now, and once we are regrouped and ready, the Earth shall suffer at the ends of my employer Nole and myself, so be prepared!"

[Ah, so he's one of Nole's loyalists. Good to know Dingbat has some competent minions working with him... maybe... >.>]


"I don't believe this! Not one bit! Paula!! Sandra!! We have a big problem!!" Poo said, calling the two sisters down.

[I don't see this going well... <.<]

They soon saw the note. Needless to say, they were NOT happy. "WHAT?!" both girls shrieked in half-anger, half-shock, "The Johnson we've been with for a year had been a spy of the Nomad?!" Paula growled. "'Fraid so, Paula. He knows about you and your three friends, and he knows some about me as well, including the fact I can dispel the time field around single targets."

[Yet somehow I got the impression Sandra doesn't seem as worried about this fact as Paula is. Probably for various reasons I'll end up going into later. :P]

"This is so perfect!" Paula screamed sarcastically, "Our parents and their friends are in their hands! How are we gonna even get up there?!"

[You could hitch a ride on Johnny and Canemon's space station and... oh yeah, it got blasted out of the sky by the MDC. :P]

Jeff pondered the situation. "Perhaps when we recover Mr. Everdred and return from my dad's lab we can all come up with something.

[Damn me and my grammar mistakes with forgetting to close out Jeff's comment. >.>]

"Hmm... Bob?" Sandra asked him. "Y... yes?" Bob stammered, making Crypha frown the slightest. "I hate to push you back for now, but it's urgent someone gets this message to the others at the complex... could you or Crypha please do so? We can't do it ourselves. We have to find Mr. Everdred before something happens to him as well!" she replied.

[Yeah, this might be misinterpreted as Sandra telling Bob to 'piss off', but she does have some point with the urgency of the matter, as shit just got real, yo. :P]

"Yeah, so let's move!" Paula pep-talked Sandra, and she, Sandra, Jeff, Poo and Nebiroth bolted outside into the yard, thanking Bob for agreeing to the job, even though poor Bob never had gotten a say in the matter, and the 5 used Teleport Beta to tornado off to Scaraba to find the "Master Thief", Mr. Everdred before something happened to him.

[I can only imagine lulzily Nebiroth 'bolting' outside with how large and slow he generally saunders around. XD]

Bob however felt that doing this was right because Sandra wouldn't ever forget about him for doing such a thing...

[Fair point, Bob. o.o]

(btw, for people like EB_Hater and spookhouse. This IF isn't meant to have mindless and insane drivel. Please refrain from doing so[also goes for other people that would think of things like goats with Skunk heads saying "Neigh" every 2 seconds :\]) 

[This addresses a VERY important point of contention I had with many IFs in both the Tenguian and Cecilian days of IF: Stories that were nothing but nonsensical ramblings. I get it: Earthbound was a quirky as hell game with it's own brand of humor, but a lot of the nonsense in what we called 'Non-Serious IFs' on the forums didn't really keep in my opinion to the brand of humor EB had. It also probably didn't help I was more biased to seriously written stories. :P]
