In a rage, Ebo ran at the old Hippie and began punching him. "You suck!" she yelled.

The Hippie looked confused and also very scared. He turned and ran away and disappeared.

Teela turned to Ebo and said, "Now what do we do?"

I have nothing to add to this story right now.

A mail van arrived. The mail man got out and said, "I'v got a letter here, for some bloke called Ebonezer."

Losing complete control Ebo screamed, "I am a girl dammit." Then she hurled herself at the mail man.

"I'm sorry," said the bemused mailman, "but I don't provide those kinds of services. More than my job's worth, you see."

"It's the uniform," announced a shadow by the clearing's edge, before flitting away into the night.

"No mail for me? Well, at least there's some routine to my life." Teela said.

Ebo shook the envalope.

Teela rolled her eyes, "Its too small for a time bomb, dear," she said.

Ebo tore open the envalope and a white powedery substance fell out.

Instantly a Haz-Mat team all decked out in those funny white moon suits sppeared and gathered the powder up, spreayed Teela and Ebo down with water, gave them a shot, incinerated the envalope, spreyed the letter inside down with water, handed the letter to Ebo and dissapeared into the night.

Ebo held the soggy paper limply in her hands. The writing was indecipherable from water damage but she was just able to make out the return address:

Succatash
69 Sunset St.
Nowhere Special, NV 95584

The hippie slowly emerged from the bushes, clutiching his shotgun.

Ebo pointed at the address, "I wanna go here," she announced.

"You wanna go see somebody who just sent you an unknown white powder?" Teela asked in confusion

Ebo nodded, then looked to the Hippie, who shrugged and said, "In the mornin, if i can fix that flat."

In the morning, Teela rolled over and yawned, smiling. She was snug and warm. Her hands were between two pillows.

"Hey!" muttered Eboneezer. They both quickly woke up, startled and embarrassed.

The guilt quickly passed, as soon as they realized the Hippie and his truck were gone. They were all alone.

"We're all alone! The Hippie left us!" cried Teela.

"At least we have each other." said Ebo. She put her arm around Teela and gave her a squeeze. She continued, "We have our friendship, and our courage. Let's go find Succatash." She glanced at the address written on the weathered piece of paper.

They started to walk. They eventually passed a sign that said, "Next town, 5 Miles."

After a short while, the pair of dirty and dusty females walked into the small town. Teela spied a tavern and commented on her dry throat. Ebo obliged, and together they pushed through the swinging doors and entered the saloon.

Instantly, the piano music stopped and everyone in the bar turned and stared at the newcomers.

They heard the sound of a plane, then a train, and an aoutomoble go by.

The bar remained silet. Suddenly a man dressed in black pushed past them into the bar and began shooting.

Ebo and Teela jumped behind the bar then feel asleep because ebo got tired to typing.

But it was hopeless. The man in black shot everyone. Ebo was shot 42 times, but Teela somehow got by with a scratch.

After the man left, Teela sobbed and held Ebo in her arms.

Ebo whispered, "Leave me. I'll be alright."

Teela ran out of the bar, shrieking. Meanwhile, Ebo gasped a dying breath and slowly reached into her pocket. She pulled out a bottle of green liquid and began to drink.

Miraculously, Ebo's health was restored. The bullet holes closed, and her pale skin became normal and flush.

Her eyes seemed a bit distant, but Ebo climbed to her feet and walked out into the road. She was all better! It was a miracle, indeed.

Ebo stood wonderously in the road, glad to be alive. She felt so strong! She found Teela's footprints and began to follow her only friend. Ebo realized that Teela must think she was dead.

In haste, she began to run after Teela. I will find you, Teela!" Ebo cried.

Ebo made it about 30 feet before leaning over and gasping for breath. Running really wasn't her strong point. So she stole a car, and was very greatful that the Hippie had given her a lesson on how to drive a stick.

So she drove yelling, "Teela! Teela where are you?!" out the window.
