"Aha!" Matoa cried, shoving the door open, "Hi Cyborg!"

"'Ello," Cyborg replied, frowning, "why are you 'ere?"

"Well, what are you doing?" Ramion asked, stepping into the blimp.

"You're 'ere too?" Cyborg said, surprised, "Am I dreamin'?"

He pulled out an electric wire and zaped himself with it.

"Ouch!"

Rolling her eyes, Matoa said, "Ok Cye let's get started..."

"With what?" the half-man, half-robot asked.

"Why we came here," Matoa answered.

"Ahh, now that's a 'ood question," Cyborg smiled.

He then leaned back in his ripped, leather seat and began to pick at his teeth with a thin wire.

When the twins didn't say anything, Cye urged them on, "Go on 'hen tell me."

Ramion sighed and he and Matoa told him the whole story...

Half an hour later Cyborg was fully informed.

"So, we want you to bring us, in your blimp, to Mochoburts," Matoa finished.

"What?? No way! We 'ould get in 'o much 'rouble! No, no and no!"

"Aw Cye pleassee!" Ramion pleaded.

"I 'ave made my decision! No!" Cyborg boomed.

Ramion shot a worried glance at Matoa and then tried puppy eyes. Seeing what her brother was doing, Matoa kneeled down and made her eyes wide and sad.

"Oh no! You two know me too 'ell!" Cye wailed, "Ok, ok, I'll 'elp!"

The twins smiled, and stood up.

"Great, then let's get going!" Matoa responded, plopping onto one of the many seats.

Ramion joined her and took out his book. Cyborg sighed and started the engine. Soon the trio was zooming through the air, leaving the city.

After about one hour of flying, Ramion put down his book and looked out the window, "Look, we're here!"

He pointed down at the rolling green hills, dotted with colourful flowers.

"Perfect!" Matoa exclaimed, packing away her book.

The blimp landed with a bump and the doors popped open.

"Alrigh' then, bye!" Cyborg said, hastily.

"Bye Cye!" the twins replied, walking out into the frosty night air.

Once they were a good 2 meters away from the blimp, Cye decided to set off, leaving behind a puff of smoke.

"I guess we did it," Ramion sighed, sitting down on a cold rock.

"Yeah," Matoa agreed, staring off into the distance, "We should get some sleep."

Ramion nodded.

The pair set up camp for the night, spreading out the blankets and making a fire.

"Goodnight!" Ramion said, resting his head on a makeshift pillow.
