Even though it was hard getting out of Tiny Axe’s office, Anna still had to rescue her. Anna was a little nervous, though, because she didn’t know what Tiny Axe was like, and she didn’t know what the mysterious bandit might do to her.
ANNA: “I should bring some case files, you never know if the bandit is under cover.”
She grabs a new case file and writes: “The mystery of the mysterious bandit.”
ANNA: “Now I can go save Tiny Axe!”
Anna hurriedly sprints to the elevator, and it goes down slloooowly.
ANNA: “I really should have just used the stairs!”
The elevator lands and just as Anna steps out — BOOM! The elevator bursts into pieces, waking the sleeping security guard who never wakes up.

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!
Hello! Serious Heart here, with the first episode of It’s the Seriously Good Show! If you didn’t read the prologue, I think you should probably go back and read it here. Now, let’s begin!
Fireside Chat: Pull up a chair.
Serious Heart walked into the room. “Howdy, people of Mythology Island! Welcome to the first episode of It’s the Seriously Good Show, the chat show where I interview famous and/or smart people! The first person I interview is…”
The audience waited in suspense.
“Gold Bird, owner of the fashion store!” Serious Heart said. The audience clapped politely as Gold Bird walked in.
“Welcome, Gold Bird!” Serious Heart said.
“Thanks, Serious Heart!” Gold Bird said, beaming.
“Well, Gold Bird, how did you become the owner of a world-famous fashion store?” Serious Heart asked.
“Well, I got the job because, I applied, and since no one else wanted the job, I had it! Isn’t it funny, Serious Heart?” Gold Bird exclaimed.
The audience stared at her. Serious Heart looked a little shocked.
“Hahahahahahahaha very funny.” Serious Heart said. He did not look like that was funny at all.
“So, anyway, here is my new outfit! I got it at the Poptropica Department Store!”
“Wow, that’s—” Serious Heart tried to say before Gold Bird cut him off.
“So, my BFF said, ‘Gold, you have to buy that outfit! It’s awesome!’” Gold Bird said.
Some of the audience left. Finally, Gold Bird stopped, due to exhaustion from talking so much. Serious Heart seized his chance to talk.
“What are your favorite clothes?” Serious Heart asked.
Gold Bird looked delighted.
“My silver dress! It costed… 1,291,836 credits!” Gold Bird bragged.
Serious Heart looked pleased that he has finally gotten a chance to ask a question.
And Gold Bird rambled on and on and on, like that, for the rest of the interview, until Serious Heart cut her off before it got too boring.
“Well, that’s it for today! Tune in next time, Poptropicans!” Serious Heart said.
अच्छे समय के लिए चीयर्स, Serious Heart

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!
Greetings! Okay, so last time I kinda maybe went off on a tangent about cake (or start from the very beginning here) and this week I’ll kind of reel my sweet tooth in a notch or two… or eight because we are on episode eight of “Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!!”
Previously, the crew jumped off the blimp in the middle of an insane storm, and now they are on Time Tangled Island! Yay? I use that question mark because of what’s going on there. Oh, no no no, I’m not gonna tell you now, you have to read on to find out.
Over and Out!
ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!
A Zomberry Series
Episode Eight: The Lab Thingy
Toothpick is too happy to be on the ground again, and to be safe, that it takes him a moment to realize what is different about Time Tangled.
He coughs a mouthful of ash out and then looks around.
Toothpick
Hawk? Birdy? Are you guys okay?
Birdy is on top of a pile of rubble trying to untangle herself from the parachute, and Hawk walks out from behind a smashed car.
Birdy
Yep.
Hawk
Yeah.
Icy Stone comes around from a large pile of rubble, covered in white ash, like a ghost.
Icy Stone
Oh, I’m fine, thanks for asking.
And then Toothpick realizes that the rubble and ashes were not a part of Time Tangled. The last time he had been to Time Tangled, it was bright, colorful, and in perfect condition. But now… the Party Time Tower was reduced to clumps of concrete, and half-burnt posters…
