Cynthia gets Flushed Away

Chapter 8

"We made it!" Roddy and Rita both said, before the gang of teens crashed into them and they all rolled out of the chimney, up into a twisted pile, covered in soot. 

"Ow!" Roddy said. "Well, I've had softer landings" Rita stated. 

"Okay, who's hand is that!" Cynthia growled aggressively before realizing "Oh it's mine" she smiled sheepishly. 

The gang then untangled themselves while Roddy looked around, he couldn't believe it. "We did it. I'm home". 

"The crew of the Jammy Dodger survives! Ha Ha!" Roddy and the teens cheered in victory.  

"Yep" Rita sighed. 

"Rita?" The gang looked to the street rat, seeing she was sad as she just shrugged her shoulders at them. 

"Oh, of course, i'm such an idiot" Roddy realized "The Dodger". 

The teens then felt bad for Rita that she had lost the Jammy Dodger forever. 

"Wasn't your fault Rod" Rita said. "Quite the adventure though". 

"It sure was" Teeders sighed, now that it was just about over and that they would have to leave soon. 

"Rita i'm so sorry" Roddy frowned to the street rat before remembering something. "But I think I might be able to cheer you up". 

The gang of teens looked at each other wondering what Roddy meant before they remembered exactly. 

Roddy then brought Rita over to a big box, filled with jewels. Kali and her gang were rather impressed. "Ta-da! As promised, the Kensington jewels". 

"A genuine star-cut ruby" Roddy presented a red ruby to the street rat. 

"It's just beautiful" Rita was in awe. 

"It sure is" The twins added. "But what if it breaks?" David asked Roddy. 

"Best part" Roddy started before he lightly hit the ruby against the box "Unbreakable". He then handed it to Rita. 

"I don't know what to say" Rita was speechless. 

"Do you think it will be enough, to take care of your family?" Roddy and the teens asked Rita. She nodded yes with an approved smile. 

"Well, we're really happy for you" Teeders said to the street scavenger rat. 

"And maybe this could be the Jammy Dodger mark 2" Roddy pulled out another green ruby, offering Rita to take that one too. 

Rita then hugged Roddy, she didn't know how else to thank him. 

The gang of teens smiled at them, when a small piece of Kali's crystal then fell off. It was flashing the color red and it was covered in tiny shards. 

"Oops, look like you lost a piece to your crystal there Kali" Rita said to the tomboy rat, noticing the small piece of her crystal fall off. 

"Hmm?" Kali picked up the small crystal piece and looked at it. It was so small she could hold it in between her fingers. 

"I've never seen a piece to the crystal like this before" the adventure girl noticed how it was glowing. 

"Us either" the twins also said while looking with their sister. 

This whole thing strangely started to make Cynthia feel agitated and sweaty.

"Actually Rita, you can keep this" Kali handed Rita the small odd piece of her crystal and placed it in Rita's hand. 

"Really?" Rita asked Kali, a little unsure. "Are you sure?" 

"Consider it a thank you for all your help" Kali smiled to the street rat, even though it wasn't much.
