Craig walks home and saw Bernard and Jessica with boxes in the living room.

"Dad, what's with all these boxes?" Craig said.

"We're packing, Craig." Duane said.

"Why?" Craig said.

"Because, Michaelson bought this part of the neighborhood, so he can build his own big shiny mall. Kids, as soon as I pick your mother from jail, we'll be moving to Florida with your Grandma's  pad for awhile. She'll have plenty of room for us. And our trip to Hawaii has to be postponed.  I'm sorry, guys." Duane said.

"But dad, we can't. Can you talk to Michaelson?" Craig said.

"I wish I could, son. Oh I really wish I could, but there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry, little man." Duane said.

"Nice going, Craig." Bernard said as he walk pass by him.

"Why are you putting this on me?" Craig said.

"Thanks to your 'saving the creek' plan. Mom got thrown in jail, we're moving away and I'm never gonna see Alexis again. You just need to face the fact the not everything in life last forever." Bernard said as he went to his room.

A couple days later, Craig, Kelsey and J.P. met up at the Arcade, which will soon be move to Michaelson's new mall.

"I can't believe the creek is closed. Only two days left. " Craig said.

"Yeah. I know. I've been keeping up with the calendar." J.P. said while playing a racing game.

"There's gotta be someway we can stop Michaelson from having those bulldozers tearing the creek down." Craig said.

"Look, Craig. We tried. There's nothing more we can do. Just like me dad just said yesterday. We just have to face it. In two days, the creek will be vanquish, soon to become gigantic mall and we all have to move on with our lives. Just like everyone else." Kelsey said as J.P. continues playing his racing game.

"I just wanna do something. Baby carriage ten o'clock." Craig said.

"Got it. Craig, saving the creek from adults isn't game. Its not like saving the creek from Xavier like last time. It's real life." J.P. said.

"And in real life. You can't always win." Kelsey said.

"I mean, I can win Runaway minivan every time I play it. Kelsey and Mortimer can win in her medieval games and you can win on Slide the Ferret, because those are just games. You did your best, buddy. I mean this can be are new hangout." J.P. said.

"J.P. this arcade is going to be moved into the new mall, remember? It said so on the window." Craig said.

"Oh right." J.P. said.

"You did your best, buddy." Kelsey said.

While Craig, Kelsey and J.P. were walking home, they saw the Two Witches; Tabitha and Courtney.

"Hey, guys look. It's the Witches. Maybe they can help." Craig said as they walk towards.

"I can't believe you're going to be moving to Pennsylvania." Courtney said while closing up her smoothie shop.

"I know. But I got family there. And what's worst that I'm going to be spending my senior year with nobody I know." Tabitha said.

"My life is not going to be the same with you." Courtney said while holding Tabitha.

"I know, Court. I'm gonna miss you." Tabitha said as she lean towards Courtney and about two kiss, but were interrupted by Craig, Kelsey and J.P.

"Hey, witches!" Craig said.
