velma sighed as she was magicked into a diofferent forest. one that was more marshy,. and here and there carvings could be semn in the trunks. " ok, guys where are we now, exactly?' we were supposed to be going around the city through the forests!" she said a bit put out, as she took a seat on a log.

"Sorry, my teleporting is autonomic when I'm nervous and drained on energy." Chris remarks. "It goes wherever it wants, though i thought i had it under control." "To answer your question though Velma, you are on the island, I was just as surprised as you were, but being military, I hide it better." Baxter comments. "Chris, maybe you better go home when you recover." Riley remarks peturbed. "It seems to me like magic while it has it's uses, is too unpredictable for our needs, or you can go back to the showboat after getting us back in the correct area." "Whatever Chris does, I might do." Madelyn replies attempting to flirt. "Though i do plan on clue hunting first." "Fine, but when you get in deep trouble again like last time, i might not tune in." Chris groans.

we had a job to do chris. explore the northern side of the city to go after the thieves. if you cant control your magic, don't use it at all. " velma said. ' now we re no closer to finding out who the thieves are or what their plan is. some fake clothes and a a few hours exonerating ourselves at the police station , well thats not much to go on. correction, its nothing to go on, professionally. the cops will shrug their shoulders and tell us' nothing we can prosecute.' Velma said. ' now, i suppose we can help the others with their treasure hunt, assuming they haven't already found the treasure.' _ (treehouse) nora had shown her group the carvings nili had done of them. the masks were in very good condition, and the faces showcased young girls in the peak of youth and innocence. each one was passed around gently, as Nora, Marybelle or creola explained who the girl was. Nilis mask had bright green eyes beneath a covering of yellow hair that had pink flowers sprinkled in it. "we all had flowers in our hair when she did the masks.' Marybelle said as she held her mask. apart from the broadening of the face from getting older, Marybelle still matched the mask to a great degree.' well, you can tell she was good at it.' crony said holding up a mask of one of the other girls named georgette, who was white with a few black spots.' these took like they were just recently carved, even though they are over 100 years old." did you ever meet nili, Cruny?" Dixie asked as Nora handed her her mask, which showed the dane with a big smile on her face and purple flowers in her hair." If i did, i don't remember it well. i might have run into her at party or two, when she was with Nora' Cruny said. ' nora shall we say, monopolized my attention. this was before meeting belle, you see.' You cant expect a guy like cruny to remember every girl who's taken an interest in him Dix. particularly this rogue who had had most of Vicksburg wanting a piece of him. "
Missy chuckled. i'm surprised there wasn't brawls between the girls over you>" Well, there were some friendships that got strained over him.' Nora said. 'quite a few, in fact. heartbreaker' She quipped at Cruny, who shifted his collar. 'nora you nearly threw yourself at him. ' marybelle said. ' then again. you went through guys like most ladies go through handkerchiefs. one date, then on to the next one. ' hormones, dear belle, hormones. I wanted a guy, i.. just never found the right one. ah well, i threw myself into my career after the war. better to play a role in one of the bards timeless classics then pine for someone that i hadn't found yet. ' nora said as dixie handed back her mask and Nora put it back in the drawer. ' ladies, time for a picture' Missy smiled ' ok.. hmm. i want marybelle in the middle, with nora to her right, and Creola to her left. sit on the bed girls.' she motioned to the bed, which nora had dusted the evening before. marybelle smiled. smiled, then got up from the table and put her mask back. ' hmm. i think we should do a series of pictures. first, the original gal pals, then Cruny, Dix and I will rotate in, in various combinations.' missy said ' Missy, i'm surprised you don't work for a photo company. heavens know you take enough of them. Dixie cracked.
Don;t give me any ideas Dix. or i'll pull rabbits ears on you for the next picture we take together. ' Missy smirked, as Nora and Creola got on the bed next to marybelle and put their arms around her, creola put her right arm. nora her left. all 3 smiled natural smiles, and missy got into position with her phone. "Now smile girls and say.. reunited!" reunited " the trio said laughing, and Missy took the picture, which quickly formed. ' You closed your eyes Nora!" creola smirked. 'it was the flash!' nora protested.
' ok ok.. we'll do a retake, and i'll turn off the flash' Missy said changing some of the settings, and retook the picture. This one turned out much better. " ok, dixie you go in with nora and creola' Missy said. after that, Cruny and marybelle will have a couples photo, and we'll go on from there." dixie replaced maryebelle in the middle, and missy took a picture . over the next half hour, missy, and later Cruny took photos of the group, both serious and silly. Nora laughed at a picture of marybelle grabbing cruny by the collar with a ' i'm very sorry!' look on his face. Creola put Marybelle into a headlock and ruffled her hair. Nora sat on Dixie, covering her head with a pillow ' what a nice place to rest ' she cracked, as Missy and Marybelle were howling with laughter.Missy and Creola dressed up like old bearded men with pipes in their mouthes. Dixie emptied her purse and put it on Missy's head. ' i just love your new hat Missy" Dixie cracked, and Nora bent over with laughter. next the girls took turns ganging up on cruny, with him having a resigned look on his face as Nora painted his face up to look like a clown at a circus. ' easy with the mustache , ladies' Cruny said. ' no more back talk , or the stache gets it!" Missy fake threatened.
the final pictures involved Dixie, Creola, Missy and nora, pilling on top of each other like a pyramid of cheerleaders at a football game. ' easy with the dresses ladies.' Missy said from the bottom row. "I can barely see Cruny with the phone!" Blame the guys who thought huge billowing dresses was a good thing for ladies to wear' Nora said. Marybelle had tears running down her face from laughing so hard. Cruny took the final picture and handed Missy her p[hone back. ' well this has been a fun little romp, ladies,but i will need to wash this paint off my face. i am wearing my uniform after all, the commanders don't like it if the uniform gets messy. muddy, thats one thing, but covered in paint, thats another thing entirely. " crony said. theres a sink at the plantation house ' Nora said. you can wash off there' she looked out the window. ' well its now getting dark, the photos and masks took longer than i thought they would. ' its nearly 8 ' Missy said looking at her phone. ' back to the house then' Nora said, getting up from the bed. ' i'll send you ladies copies of the pictures.' the formal ones, if you please' Nora said. the one where i'm over Marybelles knee for being bad, not so much." Creola laughed. ' this is definitely going in the 'save file ' Missy smirked as she showed one of her holding scissors up to Dixie and pretending to cut Dixies hair. " you look properly scared Dix. ' i prefer the one with you having a purse for a hat' Dixie said as they left the treehouse in 3s. Dixie Nora and Missy in the front, followed by Creola Marybelle and Cruny.

"Like you've never had a nervous reaction." Chris shrugged. "Nerves are one thing Chris, abuse of magic is another." Riley comments. "You would know that if you had the chance to spend some time with Bloom." "I told you she was busy." Chris snaps. "I don't think that's fair, from what I've heard even she has a bit of issues sometimes due to the stress of being similar to Supergirl in personality." Fred replied. "Doesn't every magic user have a bit of a self defense system as well?" "Thanks, Fred." Chris smiles relieved. "I don't care, it was still a misuse, even she isn't that brash anymore." Riley remarks still mad. "Well Sis, maybe we can find some way to get back to the right forest after all this is over." Madelyn said trying to cheer her sister up."

yes thee is a way to get back there' Velma said ' using dixies showboat. remember, we left missy's showboat at the docks. and the guys at the fort took the mystery machine. so, its the showboat, or bust. because i don't fancy trying to swim across the river. for now, we need to find the others.. we'll just explain we had no luck with the thieves.

a fresh text from marcie appeared on velmas phone ' survived the initial elimination process, but very likely will be eliminated tomorrow, the judges liked my project but from their comments, i don't think its strong enough to survive the second round of cuts. we are allowed to do tweaks to our presentation, but i'm not sure if it will be enough, in fact i strongly doubt it. so, odds are, i'll be headed your way tomorrow, most likely i'll be in vicksburg late. just squeeze me in with you at the hotel or showboat or wherever you are staying, and i'll pay you guys back when i can. it, er may be awhile as you know. Marcie' velma quickly responded ' we're staying on missy's showboat and i have room that i can split with you. We'll get you up to speed, and send you out to the fort once we get everyone together. see you soon, V" velma sent the text. and soon got conformation that marcie had received it ' thanks v. i'll be in around 11 pm or so. marcie'

"I think i see something we're looking for up ahead, what's the name on that tree?" Baxter asks while Fred and Riley were having a discussion. "Riley why are you being so harsh on Chris when you had been doing a whole lot worse and we let you back even though Daphne was ready to go Black Canary on you?" Fred inquires. "I can understand Velma, but you?" "Oh, I guess I didn't think of that." Riley commented. "I just felt a bit irritated like Velma and thought shutdowns are the same as misuse, when I guess they are not, though maybe I should try to help Chris with nerves or magic recovery." "That's a good idea." Fred agrees. "Chris, I want to apologize to you, i shouldn't have confused a meltdown for a misuse, and shouldn't have accused you of missing Bloom's study session, i think I missed it really." Riley appologizes. "I do know what she does to restore her energy though." "Thank you, do you think it will help?" Chris accepts now feeling better and calmer. "It should." Riley remarks whispering something secret into his ears getting his energy back. "Of course that always works, that's what she represents...perserverance or inner flame as she calls it." Chris replies now refreshed. "Apparently, when I give up that's when i drain out." "Never give up, ever." Madelyn chides. "Giving up isn't worth it."

i will just suggest not using magic if you know it will tax you, unless its a really really dire situation, and its clearly obvious that we are hosed unless you act. not ' i thought it was bad enough' no, it has to be self-evident. " velma said. you don't see Vincent using magic if he doesn't have to, now do you?" she said. she turned to where baxter was pointing. ' hold up a flashlight, fred, so i can see.. it looks like ' marybelle' from here by its dark and my glasses only help with far away things so much, even when its light out. we need to get closer to that tree.

"We're looking for trees like that." Baxter remarks. "There should be a note." "Also, yeah I suppose Vincent doesn't use it unless he has to, though I hope it doesn't get thick soon." Chris replied. "Dire situations are causing issues." Baxter comments nervous. "I feel like something bad's gonna happen soon."

theres more than a note, theres jewels and stuff, but the note and all of it is inside a locked box, the sort used for makeup.' Velma said ' marybelle told me all 10 boxes are the same, she borrowed them from creola. if i had to guess the loot this time includes money, and deeds to property. if that money in old -pre Civil war US currency , the bills themselves would be worth a lot of money. if they are confederate dollars however then they are worthless.' Velma said. the deeds are the main find in any case, and the note will lead us to cache number 5., wherever that is..' she said. as she moved closer. ' hmm it says ' marybelle and creola.. yes! this is the kind of tre we are looking for' velma said stopping as she beheld a lat=rge hole in the trunk. ' theres a hole ' guys, lift me up so i can reach in there!"

"Alright" Fred said as he and Riley used their cheering and benching skills to pick up Velma and lift her to the tree."Do you see what we're looking for?" "Uh, Baxter are you alright, you look like you're about to...."Madelyn notes. "About to what..."Baxter comments getting a shock and passing out. "Baxter!" Chris shouts. "Is he alright?" Madelyn asks worried and checks for pulse which is starting to fade. "Uh...I think he had a heart problem, Chris can magic fix this?" "No." Chris replied. "That's a rule." "Then mummification will need to occur in order to have him stay with Tanis."

You guys do realize how long mummification takes to do properly right? 70 days.. according to the Egyptians. thats nearly 2.5 MONTHS' Velma said ' so no we're not doing mummification, period. ' Velma rushed over to Baxter and felt for a pulse in his wrist which was weak. ' Hes having a heart attack , a bad one. We need to get him back to the showboat immediately, theres a medical area on there for emergency situations,we need to get him into treatment as soon as possible. ' she turned to to Chris ' chris , do you have enough magic to teleport us to Dixie's showboat? seconds are precious. if we dont get him medical treatment soon.. Baxter will die' Velma said solemnly. ' he'll be separated from Tanis.. forever.

"I do." Chris replies as they are suddenly teleported Baxter and the group back to the showboat. "I wonder what caused it." "This just seemed out of nowhere." Riley remarks. "Stress overload, he's been going at this nonstop." Fred remarks. "Although I thought Baxter said something about how when a human and a ghoul love each other, the human slowly turns into that type of ghoul, like with his commanding officer." Chris replied grabbing the afd and shocking him a few times getting a small response. "What's going on here?" Baxter said blinking in and out. "Where's Tana?" "She's back on the island, you had a heart attack due to stress overload, stay put for now and recover." Fred said. "Chris will keep you company until then."

"Oh, my, i forgot to tell everyone that I am one who suffers from trouble like that, sorry to have you find out that way." Baxter remarks. "However, i don't think i'm gonna make it much longer." "Don't talk like that." Madelyn said. "I don't have a choice." Baxter replies. "Remember what I said about how human ghoul links work." "Yeah, but not today!" Chris exclaims as he does something even more dangerous and starts to hurt. "My magic element is switcheroo, you'll be better in no time." "Are you crazy?" Fred asks. "No, I'm a superhero, it's what they do." Chris remarked. "Did Chris just?" Madelyn and Riley inquires. "He did." Baxter commented. "He did something for a friend and look what's happening to him, he's also coming back!" "Congratulations Chris!" Riley shouts. "By doing a magical transplant, you went to the next level!" "Thank You, now neither of us will have to deal with that again for a long time." Baxter replies. "Anything for my friends." Chris smiles noticing his outfit had gotten a slight change to now be a yellow vest over a red shirt with a little heart badge on it.

you will be staying here for awhile ' velma said to baxter ' as in several weeks . You had a big heart attack, and you were lucky to survive. you need lots of rest. in other words, no more treasure hunting, for you. You will stay in bed until we are satisfied you will make a full recovery."
