The Showdown (part 2!)

As Maurice was walking the fifth day in a row, suddenly she heard a shout go up!

Mavis: Maurice!


Maurice turned, and a wave of relief rushed through her. She was hungry, tired, and scared, but at least she had an ally now. Mavis came running up to her and pulled her into a hug.

Mavis: Maurice, I've been so scared! I thought you were dead!


Maurice: I'm ok, but Betty's following me! What are we going to do? I'm really tired and haven't eaten in days.


Mavis: Well, supposedly in the far off place of "Mifflin St." there is this secret puff ball. And if you grab the puff ball, you will be given two wishes. BUT, this puff ball is always moving... you never know where it's going to be. I guess it answers to the name of Matt, and I think that's our best bet.


Maurice: How did you ever hear about this?


Mavis: The Wonderful Witch of Wisconsin of course! She gave me directions too!


Maurice: Oh yeah! Duh! Well let's go!!!


MEANWHILE!

Betty: We're never going to find her. I think we're lost.

Patty: What are we going to do?


Suddenly there's a HUGE explosion and Betty and Patty are no longer alone!


Betty: Who are you?!


Sue: I'm the Wicked Witch of Wisconsin! But you can call me Sue!


Patty: You don't seem very wicked to me. You seem kind of sober. How are you going to help us Sue?


Betty: Shut it Patty! You're so practical. She can be the Wicked Witch of Wisconsin if she wants. How are you going to help us Sue?


Patty: Ok, Betty.


Sue: I know where Maurice is going! The other Witch of Wisconsin told her about Matt the Magic Puff Ball, and if she grabs the puff ball, you'll never be able to kill her!


Betty: Well how do we get there? Hurry up! Tell us!


The Wicked Witch of Wisconsin gave Betty and Patty the directions to the magical land of Mifflin, and sent them on their way. But they were so far behind, Sue knew they would never catch up without some help.

Megdam: We're here to help! Get on our backs!


With Megdam's help, Betty and Patty were able to catch up to Maurice and Mavis, and reached the magical land of Mifflin at the same time!

Maurice: Why are there so many people?


Mavis: It makes it harder to find Matt the Magical Puff Ball.

Maurice: Ohhhh. Well let's start looking.

Mavis: Wait! I think I see him!

MEANWHILE!

Betty: How are we ever going to find the puff ball in all these people?


Patty: We'll just have to keep looking. Hey wait! There he is!

And they were both right. They had both seen Matt the Magic Puff Ball at the exact same moment.


Who will reach Matt the Magic Puff Ball first? What will they wish for? Will Maurice die? TO BE CONTINUED...

The Showdown

Betty: I'm going to kill you.


Maurice: Yeah, right.


Betty: No, really. I'm going to kill you.


Maurice: What?! Why?!


Betty: Because I WANT TO! Muahahahaaaa!


Delilah: I think she's serious. You'd better run.


Maurice: Bring it on! You'll never catch me. (Runs away from Betty and disappears into the distance.)


Betty: Oh, I will. And I'm bringing backup. Let's go Patty.

Patty: Who, me?


Betty: Yes! Of course you! Are you ready, Patty? We're not going to rest until we find Maurice! If we have to search the entire sky, we will!


Betty: If we have to scale walls, we will!


Betty: If we have to search every shower, we will!


Betty: If we have to go undercover as professional hula-hoopers, we will!


Patty: Do you really think this is necessary? I mean I know she...


Betty: Don't speak of it! YES this is necessary! Now let's go.


Patty: Ok, Betty.


Betty: YES! Let's go! (The two friends head off the same way Maurice went, hoping to catch up to her.)


Will Betty and Patty catch up to Maurice? Where is Maurice going? What did Maurice do? So many questions!!! TO BE CONTINUED...
