WIND POWER FACILITY; PRESENT DAY

"What's going on?" Carolina asks as she hops off her bike. "Why are we stopping?"

"We've been driving for hours." Grif complains as he hops out of the driver seat.

"And we've got a lot more ground to cover, so let's keep moving."

"Listen lady, I know this is your first road trip with us, but we've got a system. And that system includes snack breaks, bathroom breaks, and stopping to take pictures of funny road signs."

"That's ridiculous."

"Not as ridiculous as Bonner Street."

"So close dude, so close." Simmons says.

"It's out there Simmons, we just have to have faith that we'll find it." Grif says.

Over with the Blues.

"I should probably go stop her from killing your friend." Wash proceeds in Carolina's direction.

"I kinda hope she does, but I do kinda like Grif." Cal follows Wash.

Bell regroups with Tucker and Caboose.

"Um, Tucker, Bell, I just noticed something." Caboose starts. "Something really bad."

"Yeah, me too dude." Tucker states. "I think our guy-to-girl ratio peaked like five years ago."

"What, what does that mean?" Bell asks.

"Uh, no, no, Tucker, um. Yeah, we forgot to bring Church." Caboose informs.

"Wait, did you just realize that Church isn't here?" Tucker asks.

"He's not going to be please about this one."

"Caboose, it's fine, we didn't forget him." Bell says in a calm voice.

"Ah, yes, but you see I'm not seeing him so... where is he?"

Church appears in a smaller form beside Bell's helmet. "I'm here moron."

"Church!" Caboose cheers. "You're... you're so small. I would like to feed you a small cracker."

"I hope everything's fine in there." Bell says.

"It's fine, it was really cramped though. I had to make room." Church informs.

"Wait... you didn't delete my photos, right?"

"I had to delete a fifty gigs worth of crap just so I could fit in this thing."

"No, my bird photos!" Bell cries out. "I was saving those for a rainy day."

"Hey, just be glad I didn't delete those photos that you have of Sister... Dear god, why do you have pictures like that."

"Pictures, what pictures?" Tucker questions. "Are they naked pictures?"

"That'sNotimprotantForYouToKnow!" Bell squeaks.

Camera zooms out on the Blues and focuses on Wash and Carolina standing on an overlooking balcony

Carolina: What a bunch of worthless idiots.

Wash: Yeah, they're idiots, but, they're not that bad once you get to know 'em.

Carolina: Hmm.

Wash: You know, we almost managed to trap the Meta the last time we were here.
