Carly, Mike and Seras touch down at Trevor's helipad and find Trevor there, Carly surprising him with an actual hug and saying she actually missed him. Trevor himself speaks еще softly to her than usual.

"Sally with you?" Franklin asked, being there two.

"Sally, oh she's.. No, she's staying." Carly сказал(-а) awkwardly.

"Well have her call, she hasn't in a long..."

"I kinda just got home, I don't wanna think about that right now." Carly сказал(-а) quickly, though in truth just trying to avoid the conversation as she knew why. And she also knew she didn't wanna go over this right now.. или maybe ever.

Seras looks over at Carly and makes up something about her looking exhausted to get her to Seras's truck and drive off. She could tell Carly was uncomfortable and eventually Carly did confess it to her.

"I did feel an odd sense that I was relieved the same день twice." Seras admitted.

------------------------------------------------------------

ONE WEEK LATER:

------------------------------------------------------------

Dash ended up finally ending her many AA meetings and this time when she comes out she's greeted by Sally exiting a cab.

"Sis!" Sally cried, excitedly running and hugging her, nearly knocking her over.

"Hey easy, the cold turkey is giving me a headache." Dash groaned.

"You mean..." Dash сказал(-а) excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm finally cutting back. Peter and I didn't take it seriously though til we were shown what our futures would be, he had Death visit him, apparently they met many times, I had ghost Kate.. Either way I finally got the message."

"So it worked? Do they.. Do they take requests? I mean- I really should do something about my growing pot addiction, I mean I even had it on the drive over." Sally admitted, Показ a green glass bong as proof.

"Fine, but I ain't waiting up, call me when you're done." Dash сказал(-а) dryly and headed to her blue, old rusty car. Which event does the gas blast as before she drives off, Dammit - Blink182 playing from the radio.

Sally sighs and goes.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello there. Are Ты an alcoholic too?" Bruce said.

"No, I.. I have a weed problem."

"Hmm, I think we can work the same steps into that, sit down." Bruce said, pointing at a chair. He himself took another one.

Sally goes and sits. Surprisingly nobody else was there, but all the better to her.

"Well guess it started from high school.. It was originally just to look cool, but clearly it kept going."

"That's how most of these things start, very common." Bruce replied, using his commonly laidback nature to act as comfort.

"Like with drinking, our step is finding out why you're so dependent on it."

"Well, it was always something that relaxed me. I mean Dash is, well Dash had always been crazy, the booze made it worse but she was always like that.. And then there's Carly. I thought it would be better with her, but trouble always finds her. Stress is everywhere I can never just..."

Bruce shushed her, as she was getting worked up by the last part. Sally actually whips a tear away.

"Seems to me like Ты need a vacation somewhere, away from everyone else."

"I- I do, I still can't go back to Franklin, what happened is still fresh in my mind, I can't Переместить past it right now.. I need time. I need a trip."

"And no weed."

"Yeah, and no weed." Sally said, almost blushing.

--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Pinkie is joining the Smiths at a water park, sliding down a water slide as the others clap.

"You were right guys, this vacation is exactly what I needed to finally relax, I was so worried about Carly that I.."

"Forget her, she's no longer our problem, and your family now.. Family hug!" Stan сказал(-а) and they all do so.

"Helloooo." came a sudden voice.

"Roger?" Steve asked in confusion.

Suddenly it is revealed to a screen, which suddenly is filled with Roger’s face.

"Wakey wakey eggs and bac-ey!"

Everyone screams til suddenly they awaken in green containers in the back of the Smith house.

"What the..." сказал(-а) a confused Pinkie.

"Sorry I had to wake Ты up, I needed to borrow Francine's blue dress for a new character." Roger said.

"Why are we in these things!?" Francine cried angrily.

"Oh the goo? Every год Stan checks out these artificial-memory chambers from the CIA, plops Ты suckers in and then programs a great vacay.. This year's Maui. Sweet. Did Ты get me one of those "hang loose" T-shirts? (laughs) Get it, because Ты didn't really go."

"Wait, if we're here? Where's Stan?!"

---------------------------------------------------------

Stan is in the TV room with Klaus, both watching a football game with jerseys, and cheering as Stan's team scores. Doing the team logo til he sees the others angrily glaring at him.

"Oh.. So you're awake." Stan сказал(-а) nervously.

"There's an old German saying, "Don't blame the fish.”

"Shut up Klaus!" Pinkie cried angrily, Klaus just awkwardly smiled with a nervous wave of the little flag he had with him.

"Let me get this straight. All of our vacations, the only thing that ever brought this family together... have been a big, fat, fake lie?!" Francine cried.
"Yes!” Stan cheered at another score.
“Yes to the game, and to your question.” he сказал(-а) dryly.

"How did Ты even get us into those vats?" Hayley asked.

"Well, remember when I cooked Ты guys pancakes?”

----------------------------------------------------------

Pinkie: aren't Ты guys excited to go to the Galápagos Islands?!

Stan: Can't wait. Now eat up.. (they do so and all pass out at the same time)

Stan (narrating) Then I gingerly carry your bodies downstairs... ... strip Ты down, put Ты in the goo... ... and program the greatest family vacation ever.

--------------------------------------------------------

"So in Mexico when I went hang-gliding... and Ты told me Ты loved me...?" Steve asked timidly.

"Neither of those things ever happened." Stan сказал(-а) nonchalantly.

"You drugged me?! Ты BASTARD!" Pinkie yelled and ran at Stan, who panics and flips her over onto a table, which then breaks. "Oh, sorry, CIA instincts."

"Oohh." Pinkie agonied.

"Well she's breathing, but anyway Ты all wanted Ты to have good memories... but my idea of a vacation is a vacation away from Ты people." Stan explained.

"That's terrible!" Hayley cried angrily, lifting up Pinkie and putting icebag on her.

"Stan, we are going on a real vacation and this family is going to bond!" Francine cried angrily.

--------------------------------------------------------

ANOTHER WEEK LATER:

The family are all at a ski lodge and cheer for the good times only to be unplugged from the goo, and this time finding Steve having a fancy ужин with Snot and the others. Steve admitting Stan had the right idea which enrages Francine who the others follow, other than Pink.

"You undressed me?!"

"What? Oh no Toshi did."

Toshi (subtitled): I was not gentle!

Pinkie, who actually understood him, straight up punches him off his chair and storms off. Toshi actually seemed aroused by this saying "that was pretty hot." in Japenesse, but Steve, not knowing what he said, just replied with "hey she's a family friend, no calling her that."

---------------------------------------------------

MEANWHILE/A FEW MONTHS LATER:

During an anniversary trip to a waterpark, Peter dismisses everyone to meet the pack later in the day, Peter tries a waterslide, but discovers no actual slide. He is дана a 'Starburst' Конфеты by the man running it, but after an initial sensation of riding a Фрукты wave, he finds himself smacked onto the pavement with a head wound.

“I think that was just acid.” Peter сказал(-а) to himself.
Peter is then offered Skittles by the same man, Peter Вопросы if it is also acid.

"My friend, I'm an adult working at a water slide, if I give Ты something, it's acid."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Meg fails to heed instructions to not slide headfirst, или wait til the other rider passes by waiting until the attendant gives clearance, and ends up with her head through Brian's rectum and visible through his mouth.

Mayor West: Эй, idiot, Ты gotta wait til the guy says go!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Chris steals a Hispanic girl named Isabella's bikini top, but when she calls him on it he finds her attractive and Sally convinces him to get a дата with her.

He does, but the family, especially Lois, has some reservations about her when they find out that she already has two twin infant boys, but let it go on anyway.

Late at night, after their date, Isabella returns to Chris and informs him that she is being deported, but plans to return quickly. Chris volunteers to watch her children until she returns.

Lois has major reservations about Chris's ability to care for two children and her concerns are well founded as he struggles to feed and care for them, but Brian convinces her to let him, или else Chris would never forgive her for not believing in him.
When Consuela, who is Isabella's aunt, brings news that Isabella can't return to the United States. Lois demands that they take the Дети back to their mother in Mexico, despite Chris's protesting at first. The family takes Dash and Sally also with them.

-------------------------------------------------------------

On arrival in Mexico, they find Isabella in a crime-ridden village and return the Дети to her but Chris convinces Lois to bring her with them to America as he doesn't believe this is a good neighbourhood for them, Lois agreeing that as a mother she can't leave them here.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Smiths meanwhile have another trip, only for it to again reveal to be the goo, this time by Hayley, while she and Jeff try to figure out how to put together a sex swing.

Pinkie in particular seems angry and calls Hayley a traitor.

“Hey Ты wanted to go to Rome, I took Ты to Rome.” Hayley to Pinkie, who doesn’t reply.

"You're missing the point. All I wanted was to have ужин once in a while, and spend some real time together!" Francine cried angrily.

"But Ты know what? I'm done. Done! And Ты know why? Because Ты are an жопа, попка family. If someone asked me who lived in this house, I'd say the Asses. And I'd be right. I just... I don't know why it has to... I..." Francine suddenly breaks down, sobbing onto the couch, Pinkie goes to comfort her and the others actually look remorseful, except Jeff who has no idea what's going on.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Turns out Francine spent the rest of the день curled up in her bed, and Stan actually gets rid of the goo in guilt.

Stan: Francine, Ты were right. We've been horrible. But we're gonna make it up to you. We booked a cruise. We leave in an hour.

Francine: You're just gonna put me in the goo.
Stan: No, we're not. Honey, look. I'm returning the goo chambers to the CIA.

Francine: Oh my God. We are going on a real vacation?!

Pinkie: Sure are.

Stan: The only good you're gonna see is goo-od times. It was a stretch, but I made it work, didn't I?

Hayley/Pinkie/Steve: (in unison) No.

Stan (proudly) Yeah I did.

------------------------------------------------------------

Peter calls Glenn to come get them all in a plane and he flies down, Dash warning Sally Glenn will say many things to her, and all will be disgusting.
Quagmire: Hey, Ты must be Isabella. I came as soon as I heard about you. And then I got on my plane. (CHUCKLES) Al-right.

"Come on man, if you're gonna make sex jokes, at least make them actually funny." Sally snarked, еще unimpressed than anything else.

Almost immediately though they are hijacked by dirty cops who steal their plane and Peter's фургон, ван and have to walk.

------------------------------------------------------------

Dash: God this heat.

Chris: Well maybe not wear a damn beanie hat, dumb bitch.

Dash: Don't test me blondie, I will shiv Ты with a toothpick.

Meg: Uh guys.. Coyotes!

Sure enough they find hungry coyotes surrounding them.

Chris allows himself to be severely bitten to save the babies, however Dash pulls out a pistol and shoots the one on him and it scares away the others.

"What the- Ты had a gun?!" Sally cried.

"Of course, it was in my check-in bag." Dash replied, putting the pistol back in her back jeans.

"Why didn't you..."

"Sal, they had assault rifles. I ain't dying in Mexico."

"Oh my god! I've been bitten!" Chris cried fearfully, Isabella ran over and bandaged him.

Lois: Oh my god Peter we did nothing, we're his parents and we did nothing.

Peter immediately changes the subject by saying how impressive it was seeing Chris protect the babies.

---------------------------------------------------------------

With lack of any better alternatives, they end up cooking the dead coyote at a night fire. Chris complained about still being thirsty.

"Yeah, I'm so thirsty I'd be willing to drink anyone's pee.. Not Ты Chris, или Peter, but Ты know.. Anyone." Glenn insisted.

"Great, the coyote probably has some, drink up." Dash snarked back.

Silence.

"... I don't need to drink anything." Glenn сказал(-а) awkwardly.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly a car pulls up and it turns out to be Franklin.

"I followed your phone.. You're scarily easy to track Sal, may wanna work on that." Frank replied, Sally does look at her phone nervously in response.

"Oh, well, this is great. Can Ты help us get to the border?" Lois asked excitedly.

"Oh, you're already in the United States. this Texas." Franklin revealed.

"What? S-So, wait, so we walked right across the border and didn't even know it? That is a problem. Not trying to be racist, but that is a problem."
Glenn cried out, Dash admitting that he's probably right.
#1: ON SET WITH HOMIES:
Jimmy is a minor character on Grown Ups 2, and he made a pretend tour video of what it's like being on set.
But everyone hates him.
Example:
Girl: So who the hell is Jimmy?
Guy: I KNOW RIGHT!!... GOD HE JUST COMES OUT OF NOWHERE!!


#2: 22 JUMP улица, уличный TRAILER:
Due to his big role in this movie. He's been asked to make trailer of it. And they give him ten million dollars to do so.
Sadly.
What Tatro gives them is complete crap.
Jonah холм, хилл and Channing Tatrum both die, and Rooster must save the world from a alien invasion that is NOTHING to do with the plot of the film..

Ganger is one of the main villains of THE STORY OF DITTO and DITTO RETURNS..

His full backstory is never revealed.
Most known about his past, is that he worked as one of the canterlot guards..


STORY ONE (the story of Ditto)

Ganger is much less evil in story one.
As the readers can somewhat sympathise with him, due to being turned into an Changeling against his will.
But he still has fairly villainous scenes.
Most notably, is when he nearly turns радуга Dash into a changeling, and calls her a сука before doing so (the word itself isn't fully shown)


STORY TWO (Ditto Returns)

From here, Ganger becomes...

#10: STEVEN STONE (Scream 3):
He was probably dick actually.
But still dosen't make any less easy to see Patrick Walburton be murdered, by a rather pathetic killer..
At least he didn't go down 'easy', he nearly succeed in strangling Ghostface to death, despite having been stabbed in the back with sharp knife. But of coarse. Ghostface manages to defeat him.. Other wise the movie would be over "literary" before it even started..

#9: TYE (see no evil):

#1: REN HOEX:
I think I use to like this guy.
I certainly Любовь the voice every time I watch Youtube clips of this show. He's actually HILARIOUS..
But, as expected, ADULT PARTY took his well known insanity WAY too far. Making him a TORTURE PORN.
Quite lterary.
I mean torturing other living creatures is PORN to him. He fucking masturbates towards the misery and suffering of others in the adult party verison. That kinda speaks for itself, doesn't it?
But as I remember, even in the original. Ren wasn't excatly a "pleasant person".
We all loved him.
But still.. His villainish acts contain the following......

FIVE YEARS EARLIER:

It was a cold, dark, rainy afternoon. Perfect for the mood everyone was in.

Everyone was gathered around a gravestone. On it read...

"Kate Mcreary - 1980 to 2008"

But nothing else was written against the grave, no Комментарий like Ты would see on many gravestones. It just сказал(-а) her name and the dates. Nothing to interesting.

"I never thought this would happen... I never fucking thought it... Kate.. sweet, innocent Katie... She didn't diserve it.. She never hurt anyone!... She didn't do nothing to nobody. It was us McReary men who were the sinners. We're paying for that ourselves,...

Dozens of children would fall by my blades. Then the parents of Springwood came for me, taking justice into their own hands. When I was alive, I might have been a little naughty, but after they killed me, I became something much, much worse. The stuff nightmares are made of. The children still feared me, and their fear gave me the power to invade their dreams, and that's when the fun REALLY began. Until they figured...

Here's my FarCry3 crossover, well it's actually a retelling of the plot but using my GTA characters. As are all the "crossovers". Just some minor dialogue changes and other such stuff.. Eitherway, this one had always been one of my favourite stories. Cause it's quite dark, and the villains were fun to write.. The constant action helps two..

Seras isn't in this one, this was long before she started coming along.. But it does звезда Carly.. So if Ты are interested in her, as she does get mentioned a lot, and has a characrer role in DEMONS.. This will help to understand a little more... Maybe..

I've been alone on this. But I always found Micah really entertaining.. I even returned him in DEMONS.. Due to Demons being еще comedic, he comes as еще "love to hate".. But still a strong villain in the orginal RDR crossover..

"You see anyone else?" Carly asked.

"Near as I can tell, only ones crazy enough to be out here are us." Micah replied.

"Yeah, well, don't talk to me about 'crazy' Ты son of a bitch." Carly growled.
