"Is that my dad? Hide me!" Dawn says as she and Alexis arrive back inside the wall as Dawn is acting loopy from the bee sting.

"Dawn? Oh no." Alexis says as she doesn't see Dawn beside her and instead over with Guy as he looks at Dawns's swollen hand.

"Alexis? You did this?" Guy asks in shock as he sees Alexis.

"I..." Alexis says.

"Alexis I thought you were smarter about things than this. I'd expect this sort of recklessness from Eep but not from you." Guy says.

"But I-" Alexis then gets cut off by Guy.

"Alexis she is your best friend. You know better than this." Guy says as he picks Dawn up.

"I..." Alexis says as she pins her ears back sadly as she watches Guy leave with Dawn before walking off.

*Timeskip*

"Hey what's going on? I heard shouting." Alexis says as she runs over hearing the others before seeing the wall has a giant hole in it.

"It's gone. The wall is gone. Phil's gone. Oh my gosh. Something has taken him. Taken all of them. What are we gonna do?" Hope asks fearfully.

"My dad, Grug and Guy are gone. We can't find them." Dawn says as she looks at Alexis.

"What?" Alexis asks.

"No sign of them. But I did find this though." Thunk says as he holds up a basket.

"Is that my basket?" Hope asks.

"Good eye." Ugga says.

"Sandy can track them with this. Sandy seek." Eep says as she has Sandy smell a shoe.

"Okay right. You guys go and Dawn and I will stay here and fix the wall. Or better yet, Dawn, let's get you back inside your panic cubby. In fact I think we can both fit if we suck it in." Hope says as Sandy howls.

"She's got the scent." Gran says.

"Whatever took them couldn't have gotten far." Eep says as everyone except Hope, Alexis and Dawn get on Chunky and leave.

"Mom I'm going too." Dawn says as she smiles at Alexis.

"Dawn listen to yourself! We are not like them." Hope says.

"Dad needs us. Alexis?" Dawn asks as she looks at Alexis.

"Ready as always." Alexis as she shifts to wolf form and allows Dawn on her back.

"Wait. Dawn! Dawn you'll need the travel basket. It has a neck pillow." Hope says as she follows after the group.

*Timeskip*

"How ya holding up?" Alexis asks as she is walking with Dawn on her back while walking near the others.

"Oh I'm doing great. I mean I love traveling with you like this." Dawn says as she smiles.

"I like it too. Listen I feel bad you got hurt like you did. I'm a terrible friend. I shouldn't of took you outside the wall." Alexis says as she sighs.

"It's okay. Besides I'm not mad. Mostly mad at my parents for trying to set me up with Guy." Dawn says.

"My brother?" Alexis asks in surprise.

"Yeah... They never really listen to what I had to say... Or my heart..." Dawn says sadly.

"What is your heart telling you?" Alexis asks.

"What is yours telling you?" Dawn asks.

"That I'm most happy when I'm with my best friend... That I don't feel alone and I can truly see a better tomorrow when they're around." Alexis says while blushing.
