Subject: A large silver, black and greenish tour bus
In reply to: Kande's Sis careens to a stop in front of Rabid 's message, "Rabid! Thank God you're here!" on 14:02:31 07/29/05 Fri

...has parked in front of the Klub, blocking the street in both directions. A hand-painted sign in the window of the bus declares, "Black Oil Tours" while another one claims the bus is "Now Boarding for Roswell, NM and Parts Unknown"

"Who do we know in Roswell?" Kande's Sis remarks as soon she arrives. So buff is her cyber-body that she is only slightly winded, after having jogged along behind the mayor's racing cart.

KM gives her a pained look. "The Bubbas," she says giving the name a d'uh spin. "Pinky, Quintock, Luvall and Earl?"

"OH, is that where Bubba's from? I always thought he was from Africa."

"You're thinking of his cousin, Habeeb."

"The question is," Rabid inserts before KS can ask about Habeeb, "Is this a Bubba coming or going?"

"Isn't it kind of...I don't know...racist or something to call them all Bubbas?"

The bus huffs and puffs and starts lumbering away from the curb. Beyond the ungodly noise of the huge engine roaring to life another ear-piercing sound can be heard coming to prominence as the bus draws away. Once the bus passes the Mayor's cart, they can clearly see and hear Kande standing on the sidewalk outside her Klub, wailing and gnashing her teeth. KS, KM and Rabid rush to her side.

"What is it, sis?" KS cries, putting an arm around her sister's shoulders. Her usual sibling animosity is forgotten in the shock of seeing Kande so distraught.

"Eh-Eh-It's Bu-bub-ha," Kande manages to hiccough. "He's...go-gone." She waves a soggy handkerchief in the direction of the departing bus and starts weeping again.

"What?" KS, KM and Rabid exclaim as one. They all turn to look up the street.

"The little booger can't skip town. He still owes me 400 clams," the mayor exclaims, breaking the shocked moment of silence. Kande honks into her already disgusting handkerchief even as KM declares, "Everybody hop on. We'll head him off at the pass."

The assembled Shippervillian's clammer aboard the Mayor's custom golf cart as requested and the Mayor motors toward the city limits. It is some time before anyone remembers there is no "pass" in Shipperville.

Meanwhile, Bubba's tour bus makes the wide turn onto the distant highway. He is heading home. Will Kande, KS, KM and Rabid leave the safety of Shipperville and follow the Black Oil Tour Bus on its weaving way, experiencing some wild adventures as the travel the Road to Roswell?

Hard to say.
