(You guys...it's Minerva's turn. Am in love with this chapter, @Lovely_Bunny_Books  did a phenomenal job! Just when our travelers were catching their breath, unbeknownst to them Pinky and Brain's machine sends a forest of furious vines their way!) 

The next morning, the sun rises beautifully in the sky and it shines brightly in the forest. The travelling party was sleeping peacefully after that intense encounter with the mountain lion the previous night. Minerva was the first to wake up. She fluffed her hair and tail a bit before going to a nearby stream to wake herself up even more. After splashing some water on her face, she walked back to where the rest of the party was. At that point, everyone else was starting to wake up. 

"Good morning everyone. Glad you're all waking up now" Yakko rubbed his eyes and said, 

"Oh boy...what a night last night..." Wakko got up and said, 

"You could say that again, big brother..." When Dot woke up, she said, 

"You suppose we should go back to the camp we made before that cat got us so we could get some items left behind?" 

"Well, alright. One of those pigeons beat up that ol' mountain lion anyways, and I left behind my walnut supply I had for me and Skippy" said Slappy.

 "Alright, let's go back to camp, then we continue our journey!" shouted Dot. Once everyone was fully awake, they began heading back to where they originally set up camp.

Meanwhile, with Pinky and Brain, the latter was already up, making another hypothesis. As for Pinky, he was still fast asleep. Brain then said, 

"Alright, Pinky. I believe I have finalized my hypothesis for the connection between the Root Control 1000 and these plants that keep on growing" 

"Ah, Pharfignewton..." replied Pinky, who was sleep talking a bit.

"Wake up, Pinky!!" 

"NARF!" said Pinky as he woke up. He looked around for a bit and then saw Brain. "Oh, good morning, Brain! Lovely day, isn't it? Troz!" 

"Anyways, here's my hypothesis: I originally invented this machine to have control of these magical plants and vines. Yet, somehow the machine keeps on pulsing and causing things on its own. I was up all night to see if there was anything wrong with the machine. But alas, everything is functioning perfectly. Knowing this, I went back to the drawing board and I remembered one key detail: the pulsing occurred the further down we go through these woods." Pinky was amazed by how smart Brain sounded despite apparently not getting any sleep. 

"What could this mean, Brain?" he asked. 

"It's quite simple, Pinky" replied Brain. "It means that the Root Control 1000 is acting like a magnet of some sort. This must mean we're going in the right direction. As if there's a source that it's following. Come Pinky. Let's continue travelling and monitoring this machine."

"Rightio, Brain! Poit!" said Pinky, saluting Brain in the process.

Brain then began walking while pulling the rope that's tied around the machine. And Pinky followed Brain while singing to himself again. "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Heidi, Jamaica, Peru! Republic Dominican, Cuba, Caribbean, Greenland, El Salvador too!" sang Pinky as he skipped along. Brain then interrupted with, 

"As impressed as I am with this song, Pinky, what did I say about singing out loud?" 

"Oh, sorry about that, Brain! Zort!" After about an hour, the mice were almost out of the woods when all of a sudden, the Root Control 1000 began shining. Brain stopped and observed the machine. Brain signaled for Pinky to come over while saying,
