Bridge & Ted's Excellent Adventure (heading into town)

Ted stared at the snow. He didn't like snow that much. Even though he was covered with every layer of cold weather clothing he had, it still looked cold outside. But there were times in a dude's life when he had to go and face snow and maybe snow monsters just to save his best miniature giraffe friend in the whole world. However, he wouldn't be going alone.

A similarily-dressed Bridge soon appears next to Ted, RIC trotting along behind him.

"Ready, dude?"

"As I'll ever be, dude. Let's go rescue Earl!"

Ted opened the door. The snow slumped in. He shrugged and started to walk out into the snow. It was hard because there was so much of it. They needed to get into town and get to Earl. He couldn't last another night alone. "I left him inside with some bread sandwiches when I came up here to teach, but he's gonna get hungry again soon. I tried calling, but he didn't answer. I hope the little dude's okay."

"Well giraffes are all resourceful and stuff, dude. I'm sure he'll be okay 'till we get there." Bridge says, tromping through the snow. RIC trumpeted like an elephant, which was supposed to be reassuring or something.

"Well said, little doggy dude," Ted said to RIC.

They almost made it to the front gate through sheer luck that comes with people who say 'dude' a lot. However, a snow monster caught sight of them and started waddling towards them. "Uh-oh. We've got company of the Frosty the reminds-me-of-my-Dad snowman kind."

Bridge scrambles for his sidearm and takes a shot at the snow monster. "Uh, I don't suppose you have anything you can use for a weapon?" he asks Ted.

"I have a can of tuna."

"If only we were fighting kitty snow-monsters," Bridge says woefully. He takes another shot, and this time it hits the monster in the head, sending it down.

Too bad three more monsters have now caught sight of the duo. Well, trio if you count the dog.

"Run?"

Ted shrugged and nodded. "RUN!" Ted ran for the gate as hard as he could. However, being in snow, it wasn't easy. There was a reason he wasn't on the San Dimas High School track team, you know. Aside from being an A-grade slacker.

"If only I'd thought to add a snowplow last time I upgraded RIC," Bridge grumbles as he tries to outrun the snowmen, firing off shots as he goes.

"Maybe next time, dude."

By the time they reached the gate, the snowman had given up and was now trying to chase someone who came across its path up a tree. Now they had to face the town and its overwhelming spookiness of doom.

"Creeeeepy..." Bridge says as they make their way down Apocalypse Avenue.

"Totally." Ted almost slipped once or twice, but kept upright. To be sneaky, they only moved in short bursts and stayed low and as out of the way as they could manage being on a main road with snow drifts on the side.

"Erk!" Bridge says, as he slides on a particularily nasty patch of ice, flailing his arms in an attempt to keep upright. Thankfully, it works.

"How much longer, dude? These buildings all look like so many piles of snow to me, I have no idea where we are."

Ted stopped, and then looked around. "Oh. We went past it, dude." He headed back about a block and unlocked the front door. "Eaaaarl? Duuuuude?"

From his spot where he was curled up in the living room, Earl looks towards the door at the sound of Ted's voice. Beside him is a an empty plate and a radio that's only picking up static.

"Dude!" Ted hurried over to Earl and hugged him. "Are you okay dude? I came as soon as I could. There's snow out there, dude. And snow monsters. Are you sure you're okay, dude?"

Earl would smile at Ted if giraffes could smile. But they can't, so instead he just nods his head and blinks a few times.

"Earl!" Bridge bounces over, or, well, as much as one *can* bounce over when they're bundled up in a parka, and ruffled the giraffe's fur.

"Dude, do you think we should take Earl back to the school, or hide out here for a while?"

"Uh..." Bridge peeks out a window, but the streets are still eerily deserted. "Well, the school has electricity and stuff. But it also has snowmonster-thingy-dudes attacking it. So maybe here's safer for now?" Bridge shrugs. "Do you have a backup generator for power or anything?"

"I dunno, dude. I think so. Smart Glasses Dude set up stuff in the basement, so there might be one. We could watch TV. And we totally need to get Earl something to eat."

"Smart Glasses Dude?" Bridge asks, making his way to the basement stairs. Rummaging around in his knapsack for a flashlight, he finds it and flicks it on after he opens the door.

"Duuuuude..." he says, wide-eyed, as he shines the flashlight around the basement.

"Whoa. It's like a space ship!"

"There's gotta be a- oh..." Bridge trails off as he sees something labelled GENERATOR in big block letters. He flips the on-switch, and the room that strangely resembles a space ship comesa online.

There's a *lot* of blinkyflashy lights.

"There's a spaceship in my basement? Excellent!"

Ted miraculously resisted the urge to touch the blinky shiny things. Upstairs, the TV started blaring. "My most triumphant student dude, I think it's time to go make some popcorn and watch Oprah."

"Sounds like a plan, dude. I think we should get Earl something to eat, too. I'm not sure if popcorn is too nutritious for giraffes."

"Totally dude! I'll make Earl some bread sandwiches. What else do giraffes like?"

Bridge tries to remember. "Um, cucumbers and artichokes? I think. That sounds about right."

"Excellent." Ted headed back upstairs to make food.

Bridge followed, casting one last longing glance at the computers. He really, really wanted to see what all that stuff was capable of.

Ted headed to the kitchen and returned with food.

After eating some cucumber sandwiches, Earl headed to the front door and began gnawing on the doorknob.

He was either still hungry, or trying to open the door and get outside.

"Hang on, dude. Are you sure you wanna go out there?"

Earl nods and blinks solemnly.

Ted opened the door and shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth.

Earl steps outside and walks a few paces before turning around and levelling a very stern miniature giraffe glare at Bridge and Ted, who have not yet left the house.

"Okay, okay, dude! Sheesh!" Bridge throws up his hands in mock-disgust and heads outside with RIC.

Ted followed them out and slammed the door closed behind him. Unfortunately, the rumble causes the snow on the roof to pile down on him. Ted shivered and shook it off and followed along. "Where we going, Earl?"

Earl stretches out his neck to point in the direction of the school.

"No way, dude. Monsters! Monsters are bad." Although, it was eerily quiet now.

"Maybe the monsters are gone?" Bridge said. "I mean, this town's full of all sorts of hero and superhero types, they probably managed to defeat them." Bridge would feel guilty about not being there to help if it weren't for the fact that Earl had needed rescuing.

Ted looked at the school for a few moments, then shrugged and grinned. "Let's check it out, dude!"
