Carrie brought the family to her new home as a spirit of ToonTown. "This here is my new house. Enter, please." Lauren brought everyone inside one by one so that the doorway wouldn't be crowded. Carrie's new home was with her family. It looked the same as it did on the living side of earth, but more cartoonish of course. Aqua was amazed as she stared at everything. "It's so cute and playful in here." She whispered gently. Carrie gave a small little laugh and thanked them. "I'm glad that you guys enjoy the place."

Lyra cuddled up in her mother's lap as they sat down on the couch. Carrie pets her and Aqua smiles gently. "She's really grown attached to you." Carrie playfully punched Aqua's arm in a friendly manner. "Oh hush you." Jesse And Emily both have an apple from the apple bowl and felt satisfied. It was nice to see family and who started it all.

They all began to talk about what has happened, things that are currently going on, etc. Cassidy took out her old star headband. "Hey mom. You never told me what you did with the star headband after being chased away and finding a new home." "Oh that.. I kinda threw it out the window and forgot about it. I guess some fan found it and decided to return it years later." She then told the family something that hadn't been discussed outside of her and Lauren. "That house was actually made from my toon magic. All by these hands."

(Flashback: 1998)

Carrie and Lauren came out of the hole that they were in and looked around. They were outside of Burbank and only had their things, plus the money in their pocket. Lauren gets down from her mother's embrace and puts the peel away hole back in her free space. "Mama, where will we go now?" She asked and Carrie looked away. They were just chased away and they couldn't do nothing to stop them. The family was filming their movie and they had no part in it. Both of them felt lost. "I don't know darling.. I just don't know."

They began heading through the forest that lead to the high mountains. Carrie had her hair up in a low bun. A few hours passed by and it was getting dark. Carrie got a campfire started and got some food cooked over the fire. Lauren sniffed as she ate it. Things weren't the same without her dad, aunt and uncle. She stayed quiet as she ate her food. Carrie did too and looked at the moon rising up in the distance. After they had finished, Carrie puts the fire out and got up. Lauren did too and followed her. "We need to get a home."

(Play the song now.)

Carrie nodded and holds onto herself. She felt a surge of energy within her as they walked and Carrie sang to the moon. "The moon shines bright on the horizon tonight. Not one person, or toon seen. The drawing of desolation, and I fear that I'll be seen." She leaned against a tree as Lauren held her hand. "The power inside me burns throughout the day and night.. tried to keep it in, and they know I tried.. Don't let them in, don't let them see. Be the big star that you've dreamt to be. Just got to go, on my own way! And it is not the same!" She takes off her golden bracelet, stuffing it into her pocket and she began to do stuff with her toon magic.

"Know me now, Hear my name. Won't hold myself anymore. Yes I'm here, the Time is now! Let us see what is in store! I don't care, what the public has to say! Let the toons live on, being zany never harmed me anyway." She smirked and and watched as her jacket flew away with the wind. Carrie climbed up the hill and Lauren follows her. "Hey wait up mom!" She laughed a little as they made their way up.

"It's funny how the distance, makes all of Burbank small! And the urges that restrained me, have broke away my walls!" Carrie makes a bit of a staircase with her hands and went up to it, putting Lauren onto her back. "It's time to see what I can do, and makes these limits break on through. No rights, no wrongs. I'm taking wing! And I Sing!!" Carrie began heading up the little staircase as it makes itself up. "Know me now, hear my name! Come and find me in the northern sky! Yes I'm here, the time is now! You'll never see me cry!!" Carrie stomps on the ground as it makes an embedment of where they are. "And here we will stand, cause this is where we'll stay! Let the toons live on."

Carrie began making the house from her own hands as Lauren watched her mom's new toon magic take shape. The walls, the rooms, everything was coming together. Carrie smiles and felt more powerful, more alive. "This power flows on through the air below the ground. My soul is rising up, and soon I will be homeward bound! And to the bullies that thought I was weak, you'll see!" Carrie went to the window and took off her star headband. "Je ne peux pas encore y aller, le passé est fini!!" She threw it out the window and took her hair out of the bun that it was in.

"Know me now! Hear my name! And I'm rising up with the dawn!" Carrie uses her toon magic and changed her outfit into a new one more appropriate for the time. "Yes I'm here! The time is now! And the innocent girl is gone!" She held out her arms, going onto the balcony as the sun came up in the horizon. "And here I stand, cause it's a brand new day!! Let the toons live on!!! Being Zany never harmed me anyway." Carrie turned around and shuts the balcony doors behind her.
