Chapter 13: Back Together

Meanwhile, back in Mr. Lunt's ship, Lunt's computer says, "Target 624 is in motion. Speed is 84."

Mr. Lunt growls, " That's impossible!"

The truck that Petunia ends up driving starts to sink in the lava that Petunia drives into as Petunia climbs to the top of the truck.

"Petunia!" Larry cries.

"Hmm?" asks Petunia, looking up & seeing Mr. Lunt's ship, seeing it close in on her.

"Abomination," growls Mr. Lunt.

"Stupidhead," Petunia tauntingly replies, ripping open the truck's gasoline tank & causing it to spill into the lava, backfiring back at Petunia, making her fly into the sky towards the ship. "Yee-haw!"

Just then , Petunia crashes into the front of Mr. Lunt's ship, geeting, "Aloha!"

"You're vile! You're foul! You're flawed!" shouts Mr. Lunt, firing plasma with his plasma cannon at Petunia.

"Also pretty & red-headed!" laughs Petunia while she throws Mr. Lunt, with her super strength out of the ship, but resulting in Mr. Lunt landing onto the other ship.

Petunia then freed Larry, holding him with her... arms?

"You came back," says Larry, smiling at Petunia.

"Nobody gets left behind." says Petunia, smiling back at Larry, bfore jumping off Mr. Lunt's damaged ship before it exploded, leaving a lot of black smoke in the sky.

"Larry!" shouts Bob in alarm.

When the smoke cleared, they all turned to see Larry & Petunia sitting on the ship...with Petunia holding onto Mr. Lunt's shirt collar.

"Good dog," says Larry, happily, before the ship ends up landing on the water & close to the shore.

"Vanessa!" calls Larry from the ship.

"Hey, Larry."

"Can you give us a ride to shore?"

"Uh...Sure! But I have to make 2 trips."

"So you're from outer space, huh?" asks Vanessa, taking Petunia to shore. "I heard the surfing's choice."

"We have 624," says 1 of the Vegtroopers, grabbing 624.

"Take her to my ship," orders Madame.

"Leave her alone," commands Larry, strictly.

"Hold on." says Wally in worry.

"Grand Councilwoman, let me explain." says Mr. Lunt.

"Silence!" snaps Madame, "I am retiring you, Captain Lunt."

"Actually, credit for the capture goes to..." begins Curly.

"Goes to me," scowls Madame. "You'll be lucky if you end up on a Read-Headed Alien farm after we sort this thing out."

"Uh...I think I should..." begins Fibrilious, trying to make his getaway, knowing he'll go back to prison.

"You! You're the cause of all this! I f it wasn't for your Experiment 624, none of this..."

"It's Petunia," interrupts Petunia.

"What?"

"My name is Petunia."

"Petunia, then. If it wasn't for Petunia..."

"Does I have to go in the ship?"

"Yes?"

"Can I say good-bye?"

"Yes."

"Thank you," says Petunia, going over to Bob & Larry, before Larry hugs her.

"Who are you?" asks Madame, curiously.

"This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little & broken...but still good. Yeah, still good." Petunia explains to Madame, smiling.

Petunia then heads back towards the ship.

"Does she really have to go?" asks Curly.

"You know as well as I that our laws are absolute. I cannot change what the Council has decided." says Madame with a sigh of sadness.

"Larry, didn't you buy that thing at the shelter?" asks Wally.

"Hey!" shouts Larry, causing Madame to turn & see him. "3 days ago, I bought Petunia at the shelter. I paid 2 dollars for her."

Larry then shows Madame his adoption form, adding, "See this stamp? I own her. If you take her, you're stealing."

Madame smiles a bit & says, before turning to Wally, "You look familiar."

"CIA. Rosewell. 1973." says Wally.

"Ah, yes. You had hair back then." says Madame , before she lets Petunia go towards her new family., "Take note of this. This creature has been sentenced to life in exile a sentence that shall henceforth be served out here...on Earth...& as caretaker of the alien rhubarb, Petunia this family is now under the official protection of the United Galactic Federation. We'll be checking in now & then."

Madame then unleashes Petunia's handcuffs.

"I was afraid you were gonna say that." says Wally to Madame. "This won't be easy to explain back at headquarters."

"I know what yopu mean," says Madame, before whispering to 1 of the Vegtroopers, "Don't let those 2 get on my ship."

The ship then takes off into the sky with Fibrilious & Curly still on Earth.

"CIA?" asks Bob to Wally in amazement.

"Former. Saved the planet once. Convinced an alien race that flying fire ants were an endangered species. Now, about your house..."

Petunia is seen playing guitar but then messes up.

"Wait," says Petunia, before trying again as Fibrilious & the others build a new house for Larry & Petunia herself.

The End
