Chapter 15: 15
!
The clock alarm got Lincoln to wake up lifting the blanket off of him and blink when he saw what room he was in. It wasn't his small room that use to be a closet and that the light for his room is a yellow mushroom that's glowing, but then he remembers that he's not in his world anymore. He was dreaming that he was back in his old world with... the people he use to think as his family.
Lincoln open the curtains showing the view of San Francisco from the 3rd floor of the Eureka Lodgings which was a 50-cent-per-night boarding house on the north side of Commercial Street, mid-block between Montgomery Street on the east end and Kearny Street on the west. That was till big sis Sunset went and brought the entire building to become the privet home for the Nortons. But of course mom stop her from kicking out the other tenets who she's friends with, and still charged the same 50 cent a night. And even now many of them are still living in the royal palace as many in the city called it.
Many improvements have been done to the old building, putting power lines and water pipes that was done by mom's copies whose job skills related to fixing and improving buildings. Her copies could do anything even putting a windmill on the roof to supply the building with power and later solar panels after one of her copies found a shipment of them in a shipping container. And over the years mom's copies have been repairing and remodeling the building with some help here and there.
Lincoln got out of his night clothes and put on his normal clothes getting ready for school. The school of this time is different from what he remembers what it's like in his world, many children either didn't or only went to school for awhile as they are expected to work to help support their families by getting jobs. His mom has been working to get children to go to school with several of her copies still working as teachers at the school she built. There are many buildings that have been built by his mother, public schools, hospitals libraries, the first coal burning power plant and water treatment plant. With improvements made over the years like the coal power plant is now burning the yellow flakes from those glowing mushrooms with faces on them as well as burning coal and burnable trash like scrap wood and paper when there's not enough flakes.
Which reminded him to water his mushroom light and collect the flakes putting them into the jar he puts the flakes in. Once he has enough he can sell it at the Oil Station that either sells the flakes as they are or turns them into oil. The mushrooms are used as a light or the oil made from the flakes is used to replace fossil oil and whale oil. The oil is simple to make as you just add water to the flakes, mix and let set for a day to make mushroom oil that burns like gasoline. It's like making home made alcohol, which is the reason why many moonshiners make mushroom oil. The Oil Refinery which are just larger scaled breweries makes more powerful and longer lasting oil by adding other chemicals to it. They can even be mixed with shredded paper, or sawdust to make yellow bricks that are used for the power plant as they burn real well.
Lincoln still doesn't understand why out of all the kids she could had pick, why did mom choose him to adopt into the family. He's not special like... the girls he use to call sisters, who have their own special talents unlike him. It was just by luck that mom spotted him out in the empty field while the train she was traveling on was removing a tree that had fallen on the tracks. She was traveling with Peppermint and Penny for a show on the East coast and after hearing how he had woken up to find himself in an empty field where his town use to be, explained to him what happen to him. Seeing how he had no where to go he joined the royal family on the tour as an aide. The tour lasted for 6 months before it was over with and in that time Lincoln just bonded with Peppermint and Penny who they treated as their little bother and his mom just grew to love him. And now he's the youngest boy in the royal family.
It's still alot to get use to as he misses the shows he use to watch, the comics, videogames and other things that he didn't even know he would miss till they're gone. But at least he's able to watch tv shows and movies at the theaters even if they usually only replay the same episode multiple times a day. And there are the arcades with some of the arcade games that he's use to and others that he's not but he can't be picky anymore. He spends more time outside and coming up with his own entertainment nowadays.
"It's not the Loud House but," Lincoln said talking to himself as he opens his door to see the hallway full of people. "But it's still loud."
"Morning Lincoln," Lauren said as she came out of the room she shares with her mom, Crimson Viper. She is one of the fighters that mom hired to become the family's bodyguards. She's the only one of the fighters who can still fight like she use to do in her world. The reason is that her powers came from the gadgets that she wears on her, which allowed her to fight against foe who spent years training.
"Morning," Lincoln said peaking into the room to see Lauren's mother still sleeping in bed.
Lincoln headed for the staircase walking past Alex, who is waiting in line to use the 3rd floor bathroom. In the line is Elena, Yun, Yang, Sakura and Karin.
On the second floor he's greeted by the same sight with Li Xiangfei, Julia Chang, Robert 'Bob' Richards, Tina Armstrong, Kasumi and her sister Ayane. He could hear X-49 playing his sax in his room.
On the first floor Lincoln headed for the dining room where he see's his mom already up and eating some pancakes with Vanellope. At the dinner table are, Mature, Vice, Cody Travers, Rose the fortune teller, Kyosuke Kagami, Ryo Sakazaki, Mike Haggar, and his daughter Jessica. And Ms. Tony an old woman whose been a friend of the family since his mom moved in with grandfather, still living in the same room.
"Morning," Lincoln greeted as he walks to his seat next to Vanellope and began eating his plate of pancakes.
"You really should think of moving out of here into someplace bigger," Mature said as she's forced to share a room with Vice.
"Not to mention having more then one bathroom on each floor," Vice adds.
"I already told you two. I'm not going to move out, I have been living here since I came to this world," Barbie said.
"But still you living in this place when you're the empress," Ryo said.
"What's wrong with that?" Ms. Tony asked.
"Nothing," Ryo said not wanting trouble from the old lady.
"Morning," Lauren said joining the others at the table.
"You do have the money to live in a fancy mansion like Ginger Snap," Jessica said.
"She only has such a big house so that she can have a workshop in it," Barbie said.
"Yeah big sis has alot of cool stuff there," Vanellope said.
"And this place isn't so bad," Mike said. "Besides Barbie might be royalty but she's American royalty and doesn't need to follow how other royalty do things."
"Barbie doesn't really need all those other things, a big castle or having many servants," Kyosuke said.
"What do you mean that's us," Cody said before look at Mike. "Well Mike is running for mayor. And the others who went off on their own or working for Spookhouse."
"Mike's a shoe in to win," Ms. Tony said.
"Everyone who has mom on their side always wins," Lincoln said before turning to Cody. "But aren't you all more as bodyguards?"
"Yes but we also do other stuff too. Like being part of those stage shows you're sister do," Cody said.
"If anything I'm the court mage," Rose said who lost her powers but gain force powers instead.
"Sure rub it in Ms. Jedi," Mature said not liking how Rose got to become a Jedi in this world, which she always wanted to be as she's a big fan of Star Wars.
"Please hurry up so the next group can eat," Sal the Mr. Handy said. Sal has a cryojet instead of a torch as Barbie didn't want a torch inside the building, and the cryojet would help to put out fires. The buzzsaw is mainly used to help cut up food in the kitchen.
"I'm almost done with the next batch of pancakes," a man shouted from the kitchen. In the kitchen is Kronk who his mom found in the jungles of South America during a visit. He had found himself alone after an event took him from his world. Now he's the owner of his own restaurant and also cooks for the family.
"Come back here!" Dan Hibiki shouted as he chase after two dogs who have his shoes in their jaws.
The two dogs that his mom took in and named after the ones that use to follow him around San Francisco before they died of old age, Bummer and Lazarus. From what mom has told was that her father didn't care for the two and only let them follow him around because she liked them. With the cartoonist Edward Jump frequently featured the four together, most notably in 'The Four Bummers' which showed Norton eating from a heavily laden buffet table while the dogs were being fed scraps by her as a young woman. Which resulted in grandpa breaking a window of a store where a news clipping of the cartoon was on display. Which had grandpa in jail and mom having to pay and replace the window grandpa broke and bailing him out of jail. (2)
"At least the role of court jester is taken," Vice said chuckling as the dogs once again getting the better of Dan.
"Bye mom," Lincoln said as he left the table followed by Vanellope and Lauren grabbing their school bags.
"Bye kids be safe," Barbie said as she and the others left the table to go on with their day so that the next group could eat.
Outside Lincoln headed for the school with Vanellope and Lauren. They're joined by Shoma Sawamura, Natsu Ayuhara, Roberto Miura, Nagare Namikawa, and Momo Karuizawa whose turn it is to escort the kids to their school. Many of the younger fighters were still going to school in their world and are now attending school in this world. Others just set off on their own and gotten jobs if they're lucky that is. As some of the bad ones turn to crime but found that how they use to fight doesn't work in this world. They can't jump high or just punch through things like they use to, and that the cops are able to take them down and that guns do work on them. Which some found out the hard way. And still others did what they could to return to their home countries.
All members of the royal family have bodyguards for protection. Both Lincoln and Vanellope share the bodyguards of their mom but they're mostly guarded by the younger ones and the older ones who are use to young children. Peppermint and Penny normal bodyguards are Ran Hibiki, Akira Kazama, Aoi Himezaki, and Yurika Kirishima. Not counting the ones they take with them for their acting skills, whenever they go on tour. Surprisingly many fighters turn out to be good on stage, depending on what kind of play it is anyways seeing how some are bad dancers or singers.
Ginger Snap being the CEO of the family company has many fighters working for her. She has the entire Andore family who are a group of muscular giants standing just under 8 feet, Hugo, Andore Jr., F. Andore, U. Andore, and G. Andore. They work at the factory as workers for cover, along with Poison, Roxy, Abigail, Axl, J, Edge (Eiji Yamada), Gan Isurugi, and Daigo Kazama. Ginger also has Area working for her in the R&D department when she's not working elsewhere like the Norton Research Lab or working for Spookhouse. When Ginger travels she takes a selection of fighters with her but mainly protected by Shaheen. And helping her ran the company is Helena Douglas, Jin Kazama, and Ken Master, whom all had owned and ran their own companies in their world.
Then there's big brother Charlie who is the head for the baseball league. He is being guarded by Bass Armstrong who besides a wrestler also like baseball, Hitomi, Heavy D!, Lucky Glauber, Brain Battler, Jacky and his sister Sarah Bryant. They protect him while helping him make other sports popular that they like. Starting out small but gaining fans here and there, getting people to play the sports that they like. They also give sport equipments to schools so that they get the young crowd interested in playing the sports.
The only ones who don't have bodyguards is Lila because of her job, and Diego. Lila does have her fellow agents for help, but for Diego seeing how he works at a college he didn't want bodyguards around him. But their mom does have Rufus, with his girlfriend Candy, Franco Bash, and Mila. They live next to Diego's home and got jobs at the college, with Rufus and Franco teaching at the workshop and Candy and Mila working as lunch ladies. There is also Hideo Shimazu who teaches at the college as well as his wife Kyoko who works as a nurse there.
But of course after Mr. House appeared after an event happen, the royal family also has robots to protect them. The school Lincoln, Vanellope and Lauren go to has a Mr. Handy as a grounds keeper who helps the human workers in maintaining the school. The older members of the royal family also have their own personal Mr. Handies who help them and also act as bodyguards. But they continue to keep the fighters on the payroll, so that there be people who can think on their feet for something unexpected were to happen.

Elsewhere -
Sunset is inside a privet train car that serves as a home away from home for the royal family on train trips. In the car with her are her personal bodyguards for the trip, Kolin, Lisa Hamilton, Mignon Beart, Lien Neville, Momiji, and Rachel. Along with 2 members of Spookhouse, Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs. The reason why for all women is so that they can be with Sunset even when she's undressing and be with her in the bathroom. Sunset being the royal heir who is the most capable to takeover for her mother, and like her mother is very popular with the public. She is also does what she can to step out of her mother's shadow with all that she had done, like leading the women's right movement with women gaining the same rights as men like voting. And that's not even going into how she uses her power to help where she could.
"Do you really need to read all that?" Mignon ask looking at the pile of papers in front of Sunset.
"Yes as I need to, one of the royal duties. As the next head of the family I need to be able to handle the affairs of the family. Namely reading a huge pile of paperwork and signing documents," Sunset said.
"But aren't your family the royal family of the US in name only?" Rachel ask.
"Your family are just symbolic in being the rulers. Teddy is the one who is running things," Cassie said.
"Yes but we do own alot of things like this report on the chemical plant Ginger opened up, this form for new safety rules for a brick factory, the chicken farm needing new equipment, a rodent problem at the granary, same thing for the paper mill, the manger of the water mill mistreating workers, shipment problems and then there's the people writing to us. You all seen how much mail mom gets everyday. The papers here are from bureaucrats asking for something or another, like supporting them to be elected or reelected, documents about what we own or selling that needs me to sign for and invites to events from parties or fund raisers. And of formal requests for help in something or another. Mom is asked to help out with large events making places appeared out of nowhere. Like this one for me or mom to come and help with a town that appeared in Nebraska where everyone in it are bears and was discovered by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's Circus," Sunset said. "Some days I wish I had mom's power to make copies of myself."
"Another city of anthropomorphic animals?" Lien ask.
"Yes again," Sunset said.
"I hope it won't end up like what happen in Elwood with your little sister and that Read... aardvark girl," Rachel said.
"The Read parents just raised a brat. She went and destroyed the only photo of Vanellope's friends she had when she decided to use my sister's locket as a fishing lure. And she refused to admit she did something bad and told Vanellope that it's her fault for not having a waterproof photo. So Vanellope went and broke her nose knocking her to the ground and then kick her repeatedly in the face, before picking her up using the fighting moves that I'm sure she didn't learn from any of you," Sunset said eyeing her bodyguards who looked away. (3)
"Well it's not like we're the only ones who taught her how to defend herself," Lisa said remembering the talk down Barbie gave her and the other fighters.
"I am impressed in how much damage she did to that Dora girl," Kolin said.
"And how strong she is to be able to throw that girl around like she did," Momiji said.
"Don't forget sending her to the hospital and her ending up with several broken bones," Cassie said.
"It wasn't like her parents would had done anything to her. The older brother said that they let her do just about anything and never punish her," Sunset said.
"I'm still surprise in how a cartoon that I use to watch became real," Jacqui said.
"And that the parents are the adults are useless types. Well till my mom talk with them and showed them as well as the people of Elwood the cartoon about them. Pointing out how it seems that their world runs on cartoon logic where seeing how Arthur is the main star the adults for the most part are completely useless in solving problems and how the status quo keeps people from changing or learning lessons. To the point where they keep on having to learn the same lesson over and over again. And that in this world things don't just work out and people can't just do what they use to do without something happening to them. As it seems no one had ever been beaten like how Dora was after making my little sister lose it and kick her butt," Sunset said.
"I'm surprise how that didn't end up as a lawsuit," Kolin said.
"Hard to do when the town is in the middle of nowhere and even now is struggling to get back on their feet. And it's not like they were apart of the United States so it's more like a different country. Mom did explained to them that because of their daughter the only photo Vanellope had of her friends in her world is gone, and that their daughter refused to even say sorry and blamed Vanellope for not having a waterproof photo. Which was thanks to that rabbit Buster who was using a camcorder at the time got it all on film," Sunset said.
"Which your mom showed it when she was telling all of them what happen to them, ending up in another world," Momiji said.
"It sure shut up the Reads when Barbie showed their whole town of how much of a spoiled brat their daughter is," Rachel said.
"Besides they learned what happens when they get on the bad side of my mom. Like when I was younger and the only kid of mom. I went and stood up for Bobby Hill when all the adults expected him and wanted him to be beaten up for a dumb tradition of failing to protect a football mascot costume from the rival team," Sunset said.
"I read the report about that. That happen when you were still a kid when that town appeared. The suburb of Arlen in Texas fell on hard times after they pelted you and your mom at the football game after you called them out," Cassie said.
"Which you also pelted back using your mind power," Jacqui adds.
"Not alot of people wanted to help them or make deals with them after that. Didn't help that there wasn't any road or anything that drew people to that area," Lisa said.
"They don't have a power plant or a water treatment plant, and only a small section of the city was teleported to the middle of the desert. The only lifeline is the technology and skills they brought with them. And the army base that also came with them. But the base was closed down and the equipment moved to the closest army base. So now the entire town is more of a dying tourist trap now, seeing how many years it's been and most of the good stuff has been taken already. At least Bobby moved away and is now working for Ginger," Sunset said.
"He does make a good BBQ sauce," Lien said.
"That must had been bad for you at that age," Mignon said.
"No that be Moralton," Sunset said.
"Where is that?" Mignon asked.
"Well according the the map Moralton use to be the capital of Statesota, that sits in the middle of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Moralton was a deeply religious town centered around a white protestant church. The entire town was engulfed in it's own hypocrisy and rarely lived up to the christian values it claims. The town had mostly 1950's culture and a few of 21st century's culture here and there. It's like that tv show 'Leave It To Beaver'," Sunset said.
"You know that show?" Cassie asked.
"Watched it from a tape," Sunset said.
"Oh," Cassie said before thinking of what Sunset said. "What do you mean was?"
"It's not there anymore. Once the town ended up in this world, the entire infrastructure and social system just broke down. Me and mom were on a cross country tour in the old RV that she found. We were traveling with X-49 and his dog Lulu for protection, who already was working for mom before I showed up. The tour was for getting people to vote for us. Which mom would come into a town or a city and campaigned, not to mention doing stuff like fixing or building something to help people who in turn voted for us. The upcoming presidential election was the one that officially made the Norton's the royal family," Sunset said.
"Wait how could a RV be driven across country when there's no gas stations around?" Rachel asked butting in.
"The RV uses a diesel engine and kerosene can be used for it. At least that's what the car mechanic mom said. When we stop at a town we would buy as much kerosene as we could. Mom even made a big fuel tank that could be fueled inside the RV and had two fuel barrels inside. So that we wouldn't have to go outside to refuel the tank," Sunset explains.
"Oh," Rachel said.
"I was still getting use to mom being my mom when we came upon the town shortly after it appeared in this world. It was ok at first but my mom soon realized what kind of town Moralton was. Moralton was my first look at a culture that followed a mindset like it was the setting of a tv show, but in real life. Or like how your worlds are all based around fighting hand to hand, instead of using guns. For Moralton it was where all media was Christian fundamentalist propaganda, and showing just how messed up and disturbing it would be. Mom explained things to them and showed them what she could do, and also what I could do, with X-49 being a robot got things rolling. She told them they're no longer in their world and how things are done in their world no longer works for them in this one. Like how their money and credit cards are no longer worth anything in this world. Moralton was in trouble as the town depended on power that came from a far away power plant leaving them without any power, not to mention thanks to a woman who picketed against just about anything she didn't like kept the farms far away from the town which didn't come with them. So they only had what supplies they had in storage, which without power the food that needed to be cold quickly spoiled. Once they realized this, a mob went and looted the corner market owned by a family that didn't come with the rest of the town, as their home was outside of town. We got on the RV and left for the nearest town where we could report to the government about Moralton. It was before Spookhouse and mom was still spreading the idea of working with outsiders, instead of hunting them. It took about 2 months to get some soldiers and government officials to get to the remote town that was close to Moralton," Sunset said.
"It took that long?" Lien asked.
"Things were different back then and as I said Spookhouse wasn't open yet. While we waited we continued on with our tour and headed back once we learned about the soldiers and government agents heading for Moralton. When we got back to the town... there wasn't anyone alive. Ruin buildings with smash windows and others burned down. Then there were the bodies, it was like they all killed each other. There wasn't anyone left alive to tell what happen. From what mom's detective copy could figure out there was a power struggle and rioting over the limited food and other supplies. The soldiers buried the bodies and stripped the town of what wasn't destroyed. We headed back to home shortly after that," Sunset said. (4)
"That must had scared you," Jacqui said.
"Sure did," Sunset said. "But mom help me to get over it. Besides that entire town was asking for it with how they acted and didn't even use common sense."
"I still don't get how that even works. How people mindsets can't let them think with common sense," Lisa said.
"You mean like how all of you were like when you all first got here. I'm surprise how many of you thought that someone armed with a gun couldn't possible be a threat to you with your unarmed fighting skills. That Bison guy sure learned his lesson," Sunset said.
"That's not how to say his name," Kolin said.
"Who cares he's dead. Like many others who think how things work in their world still works here," Sunset said going back to her stack of papers.
"Hey isn't that Trixie girl who knows you, working at the circus?" Lisa ask.
"Yes but another version of me. One where, I didn't ended up in this world. Good thing as being around old sunbutt would had driven me into the queen bee of the school like my other self," Sunset said.
"I never understood why people went out of their way to be the top kid in school. It's not like they can be a student forever. Unless they're held back for a few years. Which is just sad when you're an adult who is still in highschool as a student," Jacqui said before thinking of something. "And going back to finish for whatever reason is completely different from being held back."
"What kind of town is Gravity Falls?" Mignon ask out loud.
"From what Lila has told me. It's a town from the 2010's that's been in this world for years. There's magical creatures that were already there to begin with in their world before they came to this world. It seems that they were sent to this world after something called Weirdmageddon, caused by a being called Bill that's a one eyed yellow pyramid wearing a black bow-tie and tophat. There are gnomes, unicorns, manotaurs, lilliputtians, elves, gorgs, and other creatures living in the valley. It seems that in their world the valley is a magnet for the strange. Which are events in this world appearing now and then. There's a family the Pines who have been protecting the town from the dangerous creatures and beings. There is also a giant spaceship that crashed landed in the valley, and a cave full of dinosaurs who are all sealed in tree sap," Sunset said not even looking up from her paperwork.
"It's going to be an interesting place," Barbie said.
"Yes it will be mom," Sunset said before looking behind her to see one of her mom's copies behind her. "Mom what are you doing here?"
"Decided to join you and see your sister again. It's been awhile since Lila came home for a visit," Barbie said.
"You're just coming along just to get me and Naruto together," Sunset said staring at her mom.
"Yes but that's besides the point," Barbie said.
"Just great," Sunset said wondering what her mom has plan for her this time.

Colorado -
Rancher Barbie look down at the young Chinese girl on the bed who she found laying on the side of the dirt road she was driving the truck on. From the looks of things she's been out there for a very long time. The clothes she has are in are ragged, worn and dirty. She's very skinny, haven't had a drink of water or food for who knows how long. She doesn't know how she had survived for as long as she did out in the wild on her own. After searching her pockets carried a cellphone on her and had a wristwatch, making her someone from another world ending up in this one. And that the girl's name is Jade Chan, whose name is written on the back of the cellphone. (5)
"So how's the girl?" Lily Bovine ask as she sticks her head into the room that Barbie rented.
"She need's sometime to recover," Barbie said.
"She'll need lots of food and water to fully recover," Coop the Protectron medic said.
Coop is one of the 8 robots Barbie brought with her for the trip. Coop being the medic with one standard arm laser and one hand defibrillator. Harry the protectron fire brigadier having two cryo-guns, Spike and Trike the two utility protectrons who are the ones whose arms can be easily be switch to which arms be most useful for the job at hand. They're mostly around to fix the truck and once fitted with hand vice grips be used as forklifts for heavy crates. Beth the assaultron robot who sits in the front with Barbie, acting as her bodyguard and is armed with a head laser and two electrified hands. Frank the Mr. Handy who serves as the cook. Bell the eyebot who flew ahead of the truck to scout ahead for any problems to look out for. And Ted the securitron that Mr. House used as a way to talk to people from Las Vegas. Who is the reason why Barbie has robots with her, as it's a way to give people a preview of things to come once his factories start mass production. Which Barbie has heavily invested, making Barbie's family a major shareholder.
The sleeping truck Barbie is driving is a turnpike double combo, having two 50 feet trailers behind it. The truck has been heavily modified to be able to be driven on the dirt roads and no roads that connected the small towns and cities of the American heartland. With the help of Mr. Veidt the truck is a hybrid that can run on the power from the solar panels on the tops of the trailers and roof of the truck, and keep the robots power cell charged. Barbie would like to be able to have it fully electric but with only the solar panels and few places where there's electric power it was just better to have it a hybrid. Seeing how widespread the glowing mushrooms are, the oil from them can be used for just about anything that used gas as fuel.
Barbie had been traveling around Colorado helping to improve the farms and ranches around Colorado by selling or making deals with the farmers and ranchers. Barbie had a bunch of farm equipment and seeds inside the truck's trailers, not to mention catalogs for items and equipments that the buyers could order and be shipped to them. One of the companies that Sunset invested money into is a company that made farming equipment. Thanks to the investments Sunset made, with connections to Spookhouse allowed the company to start making better farm equipments and selling seeds of better crops. Like selling the farm equipments base on the ones in Stardew Valley and seeds from the better crops, not to mention unknowns like starfruits and ancient fruits.
Then Barbie came upon Cowtown which is populated by mutant animals. From what Barbie learned was that an irradiated comet struck their world creating a miles high mesa shrouded in clouds. Everything trapped on top of the mesa was 'cow-metized' by the light from the 'cow-met' and evolved into a 'bovipomorphic' state. Inspired by old tales of the Wild West, this new bovine community developed to the point where they emulated that era's way of life, including the requisite ruffians and corrupt sheriffs. However, their knowledge of Wild West living was limited, and as such, many things about their culture had to be improvised to 'fill in the blanks'. There are still animals that weren't effected and remained as they were. The mutant animals are all omnivores being able to eat both meat and plant. (6)
"Well mayor Oscar Bulloney is downstairs wanting to talk to you," Lily said.
"Alright, I'll see him," Barbie said as she turns to Coop. "Watch her."
"Well do mam," Coop said.
"Have the other robots caused any trouble?" Barbie asked.
"Well they have been keeping folks away from that... truck of yours. And that Mr. House fellow has been talking up a storm with Cowlamity about her mine, that has that silver-gold ore that he calls platinum," Lily said.
"It's very useful for electronics production," Barbie said. "So how are everyone taking about being in another world?"
"Well we're still in shock of discovering we're no longer trap on top of a mesa and are now free to go where we want. It's alot to take in," Lily said.
"Don't worry I have been helping people like you from other worlds settle in," Barbie said.
"Still hard to believe you're royalty in how you dress and act," Lily said.
"I'm a American after all. We don't follow traditions, we break them and only follow the ones we want to follow," Barbie said leaving the room with Lily. Leaving Jade to be watched over by Coop.

Author's Notes -
1 - Information about the Eureka Lodgings is hard to find so I'm making things up.
2 - The comic The three bummers, is the reason why Norton was arrested, as he broke a window where the comic was on display.
3 - Admit it for those who watched the show and read the books you like the episode where Arthur went and punch D.W. Also how bad parents Arthur's parents are in dealing with D.W. with how they treat her she'll be a woman child when she's grown up.
4 - Moralton being how it is before the last season, once they're no longer in their world where even with the entire town burning down would be quickly be rebuilt. Once they're all in a place where status quo isn't in effect and with no food, power or water, coming in would result in the entire town turning on each other.
5 - Jade might be able to survive what happens on her show but in a world where reality ensures. A young child with no supplies out in the middle of nowhere, wouldn't be able to survive for long.
6 - It explains why they herd cattle and other livestock animals not to mention why there are mutant horses and normal ones.
