Quote:Ebo smiled with innocent eyes and said, "I'm so confused. Who am I?"
They crouched uncomfortably on the mountain ledge and tried to come up with a plan. The Hippie and the Big Guy looked dazed and weary.
Ebo suddenly sat up and pointed at Teela and Tash in the jar and screamed. Then she smiled.
Teela and Tash looked at each other and screamed in horror.

If Teela had had hands, she would have slapped her forehead, "Not the old memory loss thing again," she sighed, "Ok. You are Ebo. I am Teela. He's Tash, thats the Big Guy and thats the Hippie."
Ebo nodded as if paying attention, "Ok. Now go back to the part where you say who i am."
"You're Ebo."
"Who?"
"Ebo!"
"Thats what i want to know!"
"No no, your Ebo."
"Who's he?"
"Tash."
"And I'm Ebo."
"Yeah."
"Is that guy Ebo too?"
"No. You're Ebo, thats the Big Guy."
"Ebo the Big Guy?"
"No. Just Big Guy."
"So I'm Ebo, thats the Big Guy-bo, and thats Tash-bo?"
"Close enough."
"And who are you?"
"Teela B."
"And who am I?"

"Okay, what happened to the plot?" Teela asked.
"I thought you had it." said Ebo.
"I thought you had it Ebo." said the Big Guy.
"Didn't you have it Tash?" asked the Hippie.
"I thought you had it." replied Tash.
"Wait, I found the script!" Teela shouted. "Okay, it says: They crouched uncomfortably on the mountain ledge and tried to come up with a plan. The Hippie and the Big Guy looked dazed and weary.
Ebo suddenly sat up and pointed at Teela and Tash in the jar and screamed. Then she smiled.
Teela and Tash looked at each other and screamed in horror.
Okay, we're screaming in horror. Why?"
"Let's think..."

Suddenly the Super Jar bubbled furiously. The Teela and Tash heads temporarily merged into one asexual head. It spoke in a neutral voice:
"The mountain is of grave importance. Ebo's past and future are tied together."
Then a bright light flashed and Teela and Tash became their separate heads again. The Super Jar was silent.
"Woah, that's weird," said the Big Guy. The Hippie grunted.

"Well dur, of course this Ebo persons past and future are tied together, its called the present," Ebo said.
The Big Guy sniffed, "So that asexual head thing's profacy was just reduntant and didn't tell us anything?"
"Yeah. What exactly is an asexual head anyway? Do head's have sex organs?" Ebo asked.
"Hey!" Tash said, "lets play doctor!"
Ebo took a step back, "Have fun with that. I'm going to go over here..."
"Ow!" a voice said.
The group jumped.
"What do you want?" the voice said grumpily.
"Um..who are you?" Teela asked.
"The mountain. Now what do you want?"
"Oh...well maybe you could help us."
"Thats what I'm here for."
"Ok well, the asexual head thing said that Ebo here-"
"Oh i get it! I'm Ebo!" ebo said.
"Yes, anyway, it said that her past and her future were tied together."
"Is that all? They come together in the
present. Now go away."
"But isn't there anything else?"
"No. Where would you get that idea?"
"Well, the title. Ebo and the Mountain. We're kind of depending on you for some sort of plot."

The mountain sighed, "fine. Your a robot. Are you happy now?"
"We knew that," Teela sighed, "Is there anything else?"
"She likes cheese."
Ebo sighed, "I do like cheese..."
"And there's something about a quest or something..."
"Does this quest involove cheese?" Ebo asked eagerly.
"No."
"What exactly is this quest?" Tash asked.
"To find out you must travel to the end of the earth to find the Teacher. The Teacher will tell you what her quest is."
"So I'm a girl then?" Ebo asked, "Wow, I'm learning so much about me!"
"How do we get to the end of the earth?" the Hippie grunted.
"There is a tram leaving in fifteen minutes."

"I've always wanted to see the end of the earth. To see if T. S. Elloit was right." Teela said.
"What?" the rest chourused.
"Y'know, T. S. Elliot?"
She was greeted by No's...
"Okay, he said the world was going to end 'not with a bang but with a whimper'."
"Ooohhh..."
"Okay, off we go..."
And they headed off towards the tram...

"I've run out of pie related puns!" Ebo shouted suddenly as the tram started moving forward.
"ooookkaayyyyyy," Tash said, looking away.
The tram ride went quicky and soon they found themselves at the house of the teacher.
They wandered into a large house and found themselves sitting in small desks. A small man in glasses stepped forward and wrote his name on the chalk board, "Hello class, I'm Mr. Hepner."
"Mr. Hepner?"
"Yes. The teacher is out sick, I'm the substitute. Now then, the lesson plan says Math, Reading, and history."
"Um, Mr. Hepner," Teela said.
"Raise you hand before speaking!" Mr. Hepner barked.
"Uh, I don't have a..."
"Detention!" Mr. Hepner yelled, "You think you can get away with things just because I'm a sub? Well you can't!"
Teela and Tash slunk off to a small box and Mr. Hepner locked them in.

"Mr Hepner, sir! Is there a light?" Teela asked.
"I don't here you! LA LA LA!" Mr Hepner screamed.
"Oh, here's one." Tash pulled the cord. "Should the floor be retracting?"
"No, I don't believe so. Um, Ebo! Big Guy! We need a little help! The floor is, Whoo-Hoo!"
Outside...
"Did you hear that?"
"It was nothing."

"Are you sure Mr Hepner?" Ebo asked, "It sounded like someone said Whoo-hoo! I can't tell if it was a whoo-hoo of fear, exictement, or as in 'whoo-hoo! Get us out of here!' Or maybe it was in reference to falling?"
"It doesn't concern you. Now then. Open your math books to page 456. Who can demonstrate division of fractions for us? Anyone?"
Our fearless hero's ducked down, stuck there noses in books, anything to avoid getting called on.
"You," Mr Hepner pointed with a piece of chalk at the Hippi, "You in the tie die. Get up here, come on."
Menwhile, back in the detention box...
"Wow," Teela said, "I'm begening to think the floor maybe shouldn't be doing that."
Tash leaned over as far as he could to see down the ever-growing hole, "I think I see lava."
Moisture began to gather on the outside of the glass jar.
