Wilhelmina stared out the window, watching as #radioPSI sped away from them. She was on a train, dozing off. She didn't get much sleep, what with the sudden disturbance of Eggstreme. As far as she could tell, something like that had never happened before. All the DJs were on high alert for the night, and the Buddies were riled up as well.

She let her mind wander. After a short while, it came to the topic of Ranger. He posed more than a few questions to her. She had interacted with non-humans before but she had never been so aware of it as she was with that hedgehog. He seemed uncomfortable; Wilhelmina couldn't figure out how she came to this conclusion, as Ranger never did anything to look uncomfortable, but she still couldn't help but think this.

"Hey, Ranger," she said, half-thinking. She didn't realize she had said anything until she looked over at him. He was staring at her, attention pulled away from the handheld game he was playing. "What?" He asked.

"How did you turn into a hedgehog?" It was a stupid question to ask and she knew it. She knew that he knew as much as she did and-

"I remember being chased down by some girl and a flash of yellow light. Then it was just me and my hat." Ranger returned his attentions to playing his video game.

Wilhelmina was surprised. Ranger had said before that he knew absolutely nothing about the ordeal.

"Em helped jog my memory last night," Ranger added, still looking at his game. "She wouldn't tell me why she was a parrot though."

Wilhelmina sighed. She had a feeling that this was the most talkative Ranger was going to be for the entire trip.

"Think fast!" Wilhelmina didn't even give Ranger a second to prepare before her fist connected with his face.

It was as if nothing hit him. "Come on, step it up," He replied, standing up and dusting off his shirt.

Wilhelmina charged at him. He sidestepped, announcing a simple, "You're too slow!" He crouched down, grinning. "Gotta speed," he said, before launching himself at her.

She fell off her seat with a jolt, waking her from her sleep. The train was at a standstill and she could hear someone screaming about ripping someone else's appendix out in the distance.

She stood up just as the car door opened. Footsteps sounded as a stranger stepped inside.
"Anyone in here?"

The voice sounded nervous as they took another step inside the train car. Wilhelmina turned around in an instant.

A cat stood before them. "Ah, I see you two there," she said, grinning. "You're the people from Radio PSI, right?"

"Yeah," Ranger said, jumping off his seat and approaching the other nonhuman. "I'm Buddy Duplo."

"Buddy Wilhelm Scream," Wilhelmina added.

"Ah," the cat nodded. "I'm DJ Mashi Potato. I've been sent to take you guys the rest of the way to #ultrasecret, if you wouldn't mind."

Wilhelmina glanced at Ranger. He seemed rather comfortable for someone who was just approached by a complete stranger who was telling them to leave with her.

"Sure," he replied. "Wil?"

"R- err, Duplo, I'm not sure if this is such a-"

"I am. Come on, let's go."

Ranger began to follow the cat. Mashi Potato turned and headed out the door.

Wilhelmina hesitated for only a moment before following them outside the train car.

"Do you really think it's a smart idea to have _me_ driving?"

Their driver was rather tall, and appeared to be missing her right eye.

"You got here, didn't you, Ketchupface?" Mashi Potato replied.

"Well, yeah, after nearly hitting the train and the road signs."

"But you didn't hit them!"

Wilhelmina feared for her life as the car took off.
---
She had cowered in her seat for the chaotic, yet thankfully short, journey. She did not dare look out the windows, and as thus she wasn't completely sure just how many close calls there were. She breathed a sigh of relief as the car halted for the last time.

She heard the door open before she lifted up her head. Ketchupface stood at the door, wiping red fluid from her right eye as she beckoned them inside. Ranger was completely frozen to his seat, and Wil had to poke him several times until he broke his trance long enough to step outside of the car with her.

The area they were in seemed quickly built -- many of the "buildings" were indeed just tents pitched around the main building. Two airships hovered around this main building; Wil could barely make out the word _Enterprise_ on one of them before being lead inside.

She couldn't keep count of the numerous twists and turns she walked through before Ketchupface and Mashi Potato lead her and Ranger into a small room, obviously meant for dining. There was a large table in the center of the room and an opening into what must've been a kitchen. On the table was a half-asleep duck, clad in a fedora.

"Hey, Dad," Mashi Potato said, closing the door behind the group. "We have guests."

The duck stood up, startled, with a loud quack. He looked at Wilhelmina and Ranger for a moment before nodding with a lower quack.

"Duckarama over here will entertain you while we get who you want over here. There will be pizza served in a bit... or at least there _should_ be some pizza," Mashi said, somewhat indecisive, before leaving through the kitchen door.

Wil sat down at the table, followed by Ranger. The duck turned to stare at Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina stared back. The duck approached closer, bringing on a death glare. Wilhelmina glared right back at her. Suddenly, she was whacked in the nose by a stick, somehow being wielded by the duck. She fell back, clutching her nose in pain, as the duck turned away triumphantly.

"That..." Ranger uttered, surprised, "that is no normal duck."

"Tell me about it," Wilhelmina muttered.

The duck placed his stick on the table again and quacked loudly. The door opened, as if in response.
