The old bus was driven throughout the night, and just after the sun rose, they approached the crest of a hill. Â It was Rikolo's turn at the wheel and through his sleepy eyes he saw this wonderous contraption approaching their direction. "Wha...?" he exclaimed, then turned to the others and in a cracked voice he ordered "Hey wake up, I....I....I think that's Hornk comin' out to greet us."
"Jeez will ya look at that now. Â I think ol' Hornk's come up with a new fix for his old Honda." remarked Bull, and put on his spectacles to better examine this image approaching them.

After greetings were exchanged, Krik explained to Hornk that a newer and more powerful engine was needed for their wonderful bus. Â "Hmmm...." replied Hornk, "I dunno about that. Â Yur askin' an awful lot of that ol' thing ya got and I ain't sure I got the resources to accommodate'cha." Â Â "C'mon now, I know ya kin do it. This is a classic machine and how kin ya turn us down for sumthin' like this?", pleaded Krik. Â Unseen by Hornk, he had turned to the others and gave them a wink and a smile. Once again he would have his way (that tricky old fox).
