10:00a.m.

Mickie and Rebecca have been exploring the dark jungle. The tree cover is thick. They have been walking for hours.

Rebecca: Mickie. Where are we?

Mickie: I wish I knew sweetie.

They keep walking.

Rebecca: I'm so hungry.

Mickie: I know. Me too.

Rebecca: I need something to eat. I just gotta have some food.

Mickie: We'll get food. Don't worry.

Rebecca: I hope so.

They walk alittle more and they walk out of the jungle and they are back in the forest area.

Mickie: Hmm.

Rebecca: Well. We got out of the jungle.

Mickie: Yeah. And from the looks of things we managed to walk around that large mountain. I believe we're on the other side.

Rebecca: Wait. That's the mountain we fell off.

Mickie: It sure is. And you know what we have to do right?

Rebecca looks disappointed.

Rebecca: Climb the mountain again?

Mickie: Yep.

Rebecca: Oh man. We've been walking so much my feet are starting to hurt.

Mickie: Mine too but if we want to survive and get back to the ship we have to keep walking.

Rebecca: I know.

Mickie: We'll just have to relax in the hot tub when we get back. Relax our feet and body. Let the muscles relax.

Rebecca: I know. Alright. Let's do it.

Mickie and Rebecca start to walk up a path that takes them up the mountain side.

Meanwhile.

Somewhere on the other side of the mountain. Roman is following a path. He crosses a large bridge. He walks alittle bit and he comes to the broken bridge that Mickie and Rebecca fell from. Roman looks around the area.

Roman: Hmm. I thought there was a strong power coming from here. I thought it was Mickie. I do still feel a strong power...but its more South. That has to be Mickie.

Roman looks at the broken bridge.

Roman: Hm...Whatever happened here. It happened recently. This bridge just recently got destroyed.

Roman takes a look around the area.

Roman: I better go South. That's Mickie. I know it is. I got to get to the other side of the mountain.

Roman walks off. Suddenly the ground shakes Roman falls to the ground.

Roman: Whoa. What the? What the heck is going on?

The whole mountain shakes. Mickie and Rebecca stumble and fall. Rebecca falls to the ground and Mickie falls on her butt.

Rebecca: Ouch. Hit my elbow.

Mickie: Ow. Glad I've got buns of steel. Otherwise that might have hurt.

The mountain finally stops shaking and they get up.

Rebecca: What was that anyway?

Mickie: Something exploded.

Rebecca: Probably those aliens trying to find the entrance to the inner part of the Halo ring.

Mickie: The inner part of the ring?

Rebecca: Yeah. There's supposed to be an entrance to the inner part of the ring. That's where this so called legendary treasure is supposed to be.

Mickie: Hmm. I got a bad feeling about this.

Mickie and Rebecca walk on.

Roman walks on for a bit and he comes to a building on the hillside. Someone comes walking out and he just walks off. Roman looks alittle surprised and he walks to the building and he opens the door and he walks in. Turns out its a restaurant. People are sitting around at tables and eating. One little lady is waiting on the tables. Roman looks surprised as he looks around.

Roman: Wow.

The lady walks to Roman.

Lady: Would you like a table honey? Or you just enjoying the view?

Roman looks at her.

Roman: Oh. Um.

Lady: Its okay. I am a model after all. No shame in looking honey.

Roman blushes.

Lady: So would you like a table?

Roman: Yeah. Sure. Could use some food.

Lady: Sure thing. Right over here by the window.

Roman follows her to the table and he sits down.

Lady: The name's Lillian. Just take all the time you need honey. There's no rush at all.

Lillian walks off. Roman looks at the menu.

Roman: Hmmm.

After a few moments. Roman looks around.

Roman: I can't believe this place is here. How odd.

Suddenly a guy comes walking out of the kitchen with Lillian following him.

Lillian: Oh come on Steve. You can't quit on me now. Just look at all these people.

Steve: I've had enough of being bossed around by these people. Nothing is ever good enough for them. Fix it this way. Fix it that way. Fix it like this. Its over cooked. Its under cooked. Its raw. You want food cooked then you cook it yourself.

Steve walks out the door. Lillian looks worried.

Lillian: Oh my. What am I gonna do without a cook?

Roman walks to her.

Roman: Well...I could help you out. For alittle bit anyway.

Lillian: You mean you know how to cook?

Roman: Do I know how to cook? I'm one of the best cooks in my family. Next to my mom of course. I learned from her.

Lillian smiles.

Lillian: Would you really go cook for me?

Roman: Well I can't stay. I'm looking for someone. But I can help you out for now.

Lillian: I understand. Who are you looking for?

Roman: Two ladies. One has long brown hair while the other has long red hair. Their names are Mickie and Rebecca.

Lillian: Ohh.

Roman: They have been missing. And well. I'm in love with Rebecca. I'm trying to find her so I can tell her.

Lillian: Aww. How sweet. So I guess that means that a reward to show you how greatful I am is out of the question?

Roman: If that means what I think it means. Then yes.

Lillian: Aww. Its okay.

Roman: Have you seen them?

Lillian: No...I haven't seen anyone like that.

Roman: Okay. I'll just have to keep looking. But for now. I'm gonna help you out.

Roman walks into the kitchen.

Lillian: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Roman begins cooking food.

Roman: Alright. Simple enough. Just keep them orders coming Lilly.

Braun walks into the restaurant. He looks at everyone. He takes a seat at a table. Lillian walks over to the table.

Lillian: Hi there honey. Do you know what you would like or do you need a minute?

Braun looks around then he looks at Lillian.

Braun: I'm looking for Mickie and Rebecca. One has long brown hair. The other has long red hair. Have you seen them?

Lillian: No. I'm sorry I haven't.

Roman looks through the little window in the kitchen and he looks at Braun.

Roman: Mickie and Rebecca? What's he looking for them for?

Braun takes Lillian by the shirt and he pulls her into his face.

Braun: You better be telling me the truth. Because if your not. I will personally break every bone in your body.

Lillian looks scared.

Lillian: Yes sir. Yes sir.

Braun shoves Lillian.

Braun: Now get me something to eat. I want the biggest steak in the house.

Lillian falls to the floor. The other people look on. Roman steps back from the window in the kitchen. Lillian gets up.

Lillian: Yes sir. Yes sir.

Roman: Hmmm...This guy is bad news.

Lillian looks through the window.

Lillian: Hey there honey. I need the biggest steak cooked.

Roman: I got you covered.

Roman puts a large steak on the grill and he begins cooking it. Lillian looks worried and scared as she looks at Braun.

Lillian: Oh my. He's a bear of a man. I feel sorry for Mickie and Rebecca.

4:00p.m.

Mickie and Rebecca cross a large bridge. They follow a dirt path around the mountain side. The path takes them near a large water fall.

Rebecca: Wow. This has turned out to be one heck of an adventure. This place is amazing...but I can't wait to get home. And I need to talk to Roman. I just hope he'll give me another chance. I know your right Mickie. Roman is a good man.

Mickie: Everything is gonna work out just fine. Don't worry so much.

Rebecca: Thanks Mickie. I don't know what I would do without you. Your the best.

They continue to follow the path.

Rebecca: We've been on some pretty crazy adventures huh? Been to some amazing places.

Mickie: Yeah but this place takes the cake.

Mickie looks around.

Rebecca: I miss home. I can't wait to leave.

Mickie: Well...Who knows when that will be.

Rebecca looks disappointed and confused.

Rebecca: What do you mean?

Mickie: Sweetie. There's aliens all over this ring. As well as Saiyans. Now another alien race has showed up. They all are looking for something. Braun believes there's a treasure here. While those other aliens believe this place is some kind of weapon. Until we know the truth. We can't leave. What if it really is a weapon? Then we can't let it fall into the wrong hands. So we have to learn the truth about this place. And...there's something...very evil about this place.

Rebecca: Really?

Mickie: Something isn't right here. This place is just...odd.

They walk by a cave that's near the water fall. Something moves inside the cave.

Mickie: So that's why we have to stay. We gotta make sure this place isn't a weapon and that it can't be used for evil.

Rebecca: I understand.

A growl is heard in the cave. Mickie and Rebecca stop.

Rebecca: Ummm...Why do I suddenly have the feeling I'm being watched?

Mickie: Me too.

Mickie's look turns more serious.

Something moves in the cave again.

Mickie: Something's here. Its close.

Suddenly a large snake comes out of the cave and it growls as it looks at Mickie and Rebecca. The snake monster is large Anacoda type snake. Its huge. The snake snaps at Mickie. Mickie rolls out of the way and she gets up to a knee. The snake then snaps at Rebecca. Rebecca dodges and she jumps up on his head. The snake shakes his head and he knocks Rebecca off. Rebecca hits the ground hard and she rolls back and she gets up to her feet. The snake snaps at Rebecca again. Mickie jumps in and she kicks the snake in the side of the head.

Mickie: Down boy!

The snake looks at Mickie and it snaps at her. Mickie dodges and she hits a spin kick to the head. Rebecca stands back and she watches. The snake snaps at Mickie again. Mickie jumps and she kicks him right in the nose. The snake angers. The snake uses his head to whack Mickie and he knocks her into a tree. She goes through the tree and she slams into the rock mountain side. Mickie gets to her feet and the snake wraps her up and it begins to try to choke her.

Mickie: Ahhh! Ahh!

Rebecca: Mickie!

Rebecca charges in but the snake headbutts her knocking her back. Rebecca tries to get control of her body and she flies toward the huge drop off into the large canyon. Rebecca manages to grab the edge of the mountain side.

Rebecca: Ohhh. Ohh no. Okay. Don't look down. Don't look down Rebecca.

Rebecca looks down and she gets scared.

Rebecca: Ahh! Why did I have to look down?

Rebecca holds on.

Rebecca: Mickie! Mickie! Help! I'm gonna fall!

Mickie looks over at Rebecca then she looks at the snake.

Mickie: Hold on Rebecca. I'll be there for you.

Mickie overpowers the snake and she breaks free from its hold.

Mickie: Ahhh!

The snake looks surprised.

Mickie: Surprised? Don't be. I'm a Saiyan.

Mickie punches the snake in the face. The snake angers and it snaps at her. Mickie catches him by the head and she wrestles him to the ground. Mickie pins the snake to the ground. He tries to get free but Mickie has him under her control.

Mickie: There. I whipped ya. Now are you gonna be nice?

The snake shakes his head no. Mickie locks in the hold tighter and she stomps on his head.

Mickie: Are you gonna be nice? Don't make me angry. I'll let you go if you be nice.

The snake nods his head. Mickie lets go of him.

Mickie: Now get back in your cave and stop picking on innocent girls. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The snake looks sad as it crawls back into his cave.

Rebecca: Help! Mickie!

Mickie looks at Rebecca.

Mickie: Hold on sweetie!

Mickie runs toward Rebecca.

Rebecca: Ahhh!

Mickie runs faster.

Rebecca: Help! Mickie! I'm slipping!

Rebecca's fingers slip and she starts to fall but Mickie slides in and she grabs Rebecca's hand before she falls.

Mickie: Got you sweetie.

Mickie pulls Rebecca up.

Mickie: Its okay. I got you. Your not gonna fall.

Rebecca hugs Mickie.

Rebecca: Oh man. That was so scary.

Mickie embraces her.

Mickie: Its okay. Now come on. Let's get moving.

Mickie and Rebecca get up and they walk back to the dirt path and they follow it. Rebecca looks at a building on the hillside. Its the restaurant that Roman is working at. Rebecca points.

Rebecca: Mickie look!

Mickie looks.

Mickie: Its a building.

Rebecca: Let's go check it out.

They walk to the building. Mickie opens the door and they walk in and they look around.

Rebecca: Whoa!

Mickie: Its a restaurant.

Rebecca: Food!

Lillian: Hi there ladies. Like a table?

Mickie: Sure.

Lillian smiles.

Lillian: Follow me.

Lillian takes Mickie and Rebecca to the table right by Braun.

Lillian: Here you go ladies. Take your time. I'll be back in a moment.

Mickie and Rebecca sit and they look at the menu. Lillian walks over to the window of the kitchen and she looks back at Mickie and Rebecca.

Lillian: Hmm. Long brown hair...and the other has long red hair. Could it be...Mickie and Rebecca?

Roman: That steak is almost done Lilly.

Lillian: Good. I want to get this guy out of here as quickly as possible. Its time for the dinner rush.

Roman: Dinner rush?

Lillian: Yeah.

Suddenly the ground starts shaking.

Lillian: Here they come now honey. Get ready.

The doors fly open and people charge in. Lillian takes them all to tables and she begins taking orders. Roman looks around.

Roman: Whoa. She wasn't kidding when she said dinner rush.

Rebecca looks at Roman in the kitchen window.

Rebecca: Wait...what?

Lillian walks back to the window.

Mickie: What's wrong? You look confused.

Rebecca: That guy...in the kitchen...he almost looks like Roman.

Mickie: Aw don't worry about it. Let's just get some food. Your probably just super hungry.

Rebecca: Yeah. Yeah. Super hungry.

Lillian: Here's the orders. One pancake breakfast with the works. One biscuit and gravy with bacon and eggs. One large breakfast basket and a steak cut in the shape of a trout.

Roman just stands there.

Lillian: You got all that honey?

Roman: One flapjack breakfast with the works. One biscuit and gravy with pig and eggs. One large basket of Grandma's breakfast and a special order steak. Got it.

Roman gets to cooking. Lillian looks surprised.

Lillian: Wow. He's good.

Rebecca looks around.

Rebecca: Wow. Sure gets crowed here.

Rebecca looks at Braun and she looks surprised.

Rebecca: Oh my.

Mickie is still looking at the menu.

Rebecca: Umm...Mickie.

Mickie: Isn't there anything on this menu that is not swimming in gravy?

Rebecca: Mickie.

Mickie: Hmm. A steak sounds really good though. As long as there's no gravy of course.

Rebecca: Mickie!

Mickie: What?

Rebecca points.

Rebecca: Take a look.

Mickie turns around and she looks at Braun.

Mickie: What's the problem? Oh snap. Its Braun!

Rebecca: Yeah.

Mickie: He must be looking for us.

Rebecca: What should we do?

Mickie: Leave and get as far away as possible.

Rebecca: But what if he sees us?

Mickie: Well then...I got an idea.

Mickie looks at Lillian and she waves to her. Mickie then looks at Rebecca.

Mickie: Get ready to run.

Lillian walks to Mickie.

Lillian: What's up honey?

Mickie: Look. We need your help.

Lillian: What do you need?

Mickie: Well.

Roman pushes some more food out the window.

Roman: Order up!

Lillian looks at Mickie.

Lillian: Oh sure thing honey. We do that all the time.

Lillian walks off. Mickie looks at Rebecca.

Mickie: Get ready.

Braun sits at his table. Lillian brings his steak to him. He starts to eat when suddenly.

People: One! Two! Three! Four!

A lot of people pop up at Braun's table with a cake.

People: Happy happy birthday! From all of us to you! We heard that its your birthday and we want to sing to you.

Braun looks shocked. Mickie and Rebecca run for the door. Braun looks at Mickie and Rebecca.

Braun: What?!

People: Hey! Happy birthday.

Braun takes the cake and he shoves it in Lillian's face.

Braun: How dare you help them escape!

Braun gets up and he runs to the front door.

Old Man: Hey there sonny. Happy birthday.

Braun takes the old man and he throws him out of the window and he flies off the cliff.

Old Man: Sorry!

Braun kicks the doors and the windows break and one door falls to the ground. Braun throws his arms up.

Braun: Ahhhhh!

5:00p.m.

Katie is sitting on one of the sofa's in the living room. She's trying to relax but she's worried about Mickie and Rebecca. Seth walks into the room.

Seth: Hey Katie.

Katie: Hi.

Seth: You haven't seen Roman by any chance have you?

Katie: No I haven't.

Seth: Hm.

Katie: Uh oh. I bet I know where he's at.

Seth: Where?

Katie: He wouldn't? Would he?

Seth: What?

Katie: He talked to me about Rebecca. I bet he went out looking for them.

Seth smirks.

Seth: That's my brother.

Katie: But why would he go alone?

Seth: People do crazy things...when their in love. He would do anything for Rebecca. He's in love with her.

Katie: I know. He told me so.

Seth: He fell in love with her when they were dating. Dude never stopped loving her. Even after Rebecca dumped him. He never looked at other girls or even tried to get another girlfriend. Almost like he was holding on waiting on Rebecca.

Katie: That's so sweet. I hope things work out for them. They make a great couple and Roman would be a great husband for her.

Seth sits on the other sofa.

Katie: Now I'm worried about him. He's out there alone.

Seth: Yeah. But I bet he finds them. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Katie: I sure hope so. There's something odd about this place. I just wanna pack up and go home. The sooner the better.

Seth: I know. I'm really starting to miss Mickie.

Meanwhile. Somewhere in the forest area. There's some ruins. Some pirates come out. One is holding what looks like a key.

Pirate: We got it. Mother Brain will be pleased. This has to be what opens the entrance to the inner ring.

Pirate 2: Yes. It looks like it will be a perfect fit.

Pirate: We better get it to Mother Brain right away.

Suddenly someone swings in on a rope and the key gets taken from the pirates.

Pirate: What?!

They look up in the tree. The Pirates of The Caribbean theme song plays. There's a lady standing there. She's dressed up like a yo ho yo ho pirate. Her long hair is styled very nice. She holds up the key the pirates had.

Lady: I. Thank ya lads. We've been looking for this for along time.

Pirate: Give it back!

Lady: Sorry but I can't do that lads. This key belongs to me now. And its gonna help me and my crew solve the mystery of the Halo ring and get our hands on the long lost treasure.

The lady jumps down on the ground.

Rey: The name's Rey by the way...and thank ye for the key. It saved me alot of trouble it did.

Rey smiles as she looks at them.

Pirate: Get her!

The pirates charge Rey. She just smirks as she looks at them.

Rey: Well now. I guess ye lads never learned the lesson of...real men don't hit ladies. I. I guess I'll have to teach ya.

Rey jumps and she hits a spin kick to the face of two pirates and they go down.

Rey: Ha ah! Bring it on! I love me a good fight!

2 more pirates charge in. Rey hits a kick to the gut on one then a spin kick to the gut on the other. She takes their heads and she bangs them together and they fall to the ground. Another pirate runs in and he tries to grab the key and take it from her. Rey holds on.

Rey: No you don't.

Rey throws her butt back hitting him in the gut.

Pirate: Offff!

Rey: Ha ah! Me booty can be a weapon too lad.

Rey then hits a hard elbow to the head.

Rey: Never let your guard down.

2 more pirates charge in. Rey catches them and she connects a double hip toss. Another pirate charges in and she catches him as well and she connects a spine buster ontop of one of the other pirates. One pirate is up to his knees. Rey connects a super kick and he falls to the ground. 5 more pirates run at her. Rey tosses the key way up in the sky. She puts her hands on one of the pirates shoulders and she flips herself over him and she lands on her feet. Rey forms a Super Kamehameha and she fires it at the pirates taking them out. Rey smirks as she looks at them. She holds her hand out and she catches the key she tossed up.

Rey: You lads will have to do better than that. I'm a Celtic warrior!

Rey smirks and she walks off into the forest. A pirate stands near some trees. He looks around at the pirates.

Pirate: Oh boy...Mother Brain is not gonna like this.

The pirate walks off.
