(OP: Over the Fantasy)

In the town of Nowhere, Delete and the others looked around the area.

Delete: Strange...what is this place?

Snake: Nowhere, where Courage and Shirly live. Bubblesss and I remember those two and they’re probably ssstill in Townsville.

Delete: Oh yeah.

Bubbles: (confused) Still...I wonder why I didn’t remember it ‘til you mentioned it?

They then noticed someone coming.

Minimus: Guys, someone's coming!

Just then, a bald man, Floyd, came to them as he looked worried.

Floyd: Oh my! It's getting late! I'm gonna be dreadfully, awfully late! The judge for the day and mayor are gonna kill me!

All: Huh?

Floyd: If I'm late for this trial, I'll lose my job as mayor's aide and have my head chop off.

Bubbles: (gasps) Lose your job?! Oh no!

Snake: Wait, what do you mean by "off with your head"?!

Floyd: No time to explain! I'll never make it!

With that, Floyd ran off.

Delete: Uh, off with his head?

Ling Ling: (nods) Hai.

Swiper: Yeesh, for a place which almost looks like a desert wasteland, it sounds pretty dangerous.

Bubbles: Come on! We have to get to the trial!

They nodded and headed off to where the trial was going to be.

(Episode 9: Another Cowardly Trial)

World Name: Nowhere, Kansas

Everyone looked at the city as Gaz spoke.

Gaz: Yuck, this place looks like a ghost town!

Voice: You should be more worried about what’s going on in the court house.

They looked as they saw two familiar dogs.

Snake: Courage! Shirly!

Bubbles: Strange, why can’t I recognize them?

The two dogs came to them as Courage looked worried.

Courage: Oh, poor Muriel. I have a bad feeling about what’s gonna happen to her.

Shirly: We will be needing your help. Follow me to the court house.

The others nodded, then followed the two dogs. At the trial, inside the courthouse, the gang with Courage and Shirly arrived. They then gasped as they saw a familiar old woman being put on trial.

Snake: Muriel!

Courage: Oh no!

Shirly: (frowns) I figured the Stupid One was too stupid to realize he's putting his wife on the line.

Digit: Uh, it still looks like some kind of get-together. What's the occasion anyway?

Bubbles: I bet this must be the trial that the man, Floyd, I think, was talking about!

Floyd: Muriel Bagge, do you understand the charges against you?

Muriel: (confused) No, I don't think so. I mean, I've done nothing wrong.

Eustace, in the judge's desk, glared at his wife.

Eustace: Feigning ignorance, dear? (groans) Look, you're charged with aiding the Heartless who threaten my home and this town!

Muriel: Eustace! If you're saying what's true, then where's the evidence?

Eustace: Uh...(to himself) I forgot. (to Muriel) Who cares about evidence! Besides, I know you're the one who stole my memory!

Floyd: We can't get rid of the Heartless until we get the judge's memory back. This is a serious crime.

Muriel: (frowns) But Eustace, it's not fair. So what if you're a judge! Even so, don't blame this on your wife because you have a lousy memory.

Eustace: Muriel! How dare you talk to a judge like that...as well as your own husband! You would've been freed if you'd apologized straightaway. What a brazen thief!

Muriel: Eustace, I am your wife!

Delete: (frowns) Who's the brazen one?

Delete then stood between the farmer and his wife as the others gasped.

Nemesis: Uh, Delete?

Maximus: What are you doing!?

Eustace: This court's reached a verdict. (raises the hammer) The sentence is death!

Delete: Objection!

Eustace: Eh?

The group with Courage and Shirly then ran to Eustace as the droid shouted.

Delete: Now look, this trial's farce!

June: Yeah!

Grievous: Look, I know this isn't what I usually say, but you should investigate before you arrest them.

Bloo: No duh!

Eustace: What do you mean? Are you saying Muriel didn't steal my memory? (frowns) If that's so, then tell me who the heck is the real thief!

Delete: (confused) Huh? I, er...

Eustace: Speak now or I slam the hammer and Muriel's sentence gets carried out. Now come on, who is it?

Eduardo shivered a bit as Wilt, Coco, Mac, and Frankie looked a bit worried. Shirly then spoke as she glared.

Shirly: Hey, Stupid One! I'm the real thief!

Courage: (gasps) Shirly, no! Let me...(to Eustace) I'm the thief!

Everyone gasped at what the dogs said.

Eustace: Say that again?

Danny: Whoa, really?

Courage: (frowns) You heard us!

The dog then turned to them as she spoke.

Shirly: Not really, but what else were we suppose to say?

Eustace then glared as he shouted.

Eustace: Everyone, capture those stupid dogs! Take them all!

The police brought out their weapons as did the heroes.

Courage: Ooooh!

The pink dog quickly grabbed Muriel as the police tried to jump over toward them. The pink dog ran while Shirly quickly used the barrier spell around herself and the others.

Shirly: The Stupid One and these officers are gonna be the end of us if we don't get her out of here!

Courage, meanwhile, screamed as he ran around the room. He then barked to a Hindu doctor named Dr. Vindaloo as he tried telling him the situation.

Vindaloo: Very peculiar. There's nothing to worry about. It's nothing at all, but there's nothing I can do.

Courage groaned as the police once more jumped over to them. The group nodded as Bubbles spoke.

Bubbles: I'll handle this!

The Powerpuff Girl flew around, hitting the officers and knocking them out quickly. After the police were knocked out, the group sighed in relief.

Frankie: Man, that was close.

Just then, as Courage sighed too, he gasped as he noticed he wasn’t lifting Muriel anymore.

Courage: Oh no!

Mac: Hey! Where's Muriel?

The others noticed as Shirly spoke.

Shirly: It seems that she escaped.

Eustace: GRAH! Maybe she did, but you won't!

The old man then shouted to the recovering officers.

Eustace: Get 'em!

The troops prepared to attack the group.

Swiper: Oh man! I think we've been trumped!

Grievous: I barely say this, but run!

Yumi: Let's get out of here!

Quickly, everyone dashed out of the court house while the police followed. A little later, as they were in the middle of the desert area part of Nowhere, they saw Muriel near a truck.

Bubbles: Well, things got a little crazy back there, but at least you're okay.

The male Ling Ling nodded in agreement.

Bubbles: But still...I have to think something is missing.

Snake: You ain’t the only one, kid.

Muriel: (concerned) I don't mean to be ungrateful, but...was that true, what you and Courage said, Shirly? Are you two the thieves?

Courage: (gasps) Muriel!

Shirly: No, of course not! Why would I steal the Stupid One's memory?

Eduardo: Si, they only said that 'cause they wanted to save-

Bloo: To show off!

Wilt: Sorry, but that's not what Ed was going for.

Bloo: Well, those dogs are!

Muriel: Is that so?

Coco: Co co-

Muriel: (smiles) Well, you saved me all the same. (smiles) Thank you, Delete and friends.

Bubbles: (confused) I still have to think I may have seen them before somewhere...

Snake only sighed as he looked concerned. Just then, they noticed someone as Muriel spoke.

Muriel: Oh my. Look, it's some sort of labtop.

Computer: Greetings, everyone.

Shirly: (frowns) What do you want?

Computer: Feeling better after that mad dash? Well, you are not out of the woods yet! That Bagge's a stickler for justice! He won't forget you 'til he remembers.

Gaz: (glares) In other words...

Computer: He won't stop hounding you 'til you get his memory back!

Courage: Huh?

Computer: Let me put it this way: Did he forget because he remembers? Does he remember that he forgot? (groans) Doesn't matter, I suppose, not like the terrible typist Courage is.

Courage: (sarcastically) Thanks alot.

Computer: You're welcome.

Delete looked away as he spoke.

Delete: I don't know...I think we oughta just stay away from him.

Muriel: But he's my husband.

D.T. Ling Ling: That all well and good for people, Dee Dee-kun, but what about old lady? If dumb farmer catches her, she dies, Keyblade Master.

Snake: Well, then I guesss we better do something about him then, huh?

Bubbles: (nods) Yeah.

Computer: You should do something. But you don't have to do anything.

Gaz: What do you mean, you dumb computer!

Computer: Don't get snippy on me, Goth Girl. Anyway, it goes like this: If you can't remember something, it's like it never happened. Likewise, if something never happened, you can't remember it.

Snake: (to himself) Isss that what'sss happening to everyone around me?

Computer: Try too hard to remember, and your memory might lie to you.

Bubbles: Lie?

Computer: Since the battery's going out on the labtop, that's all I have to say. The rest is for you to figure out.

Courage: Oh! You don't make any sense at all!

Computer: Like you ever do?

He frowned as the computer turned off.

Gaz: That has to be the dumbest computer I’ve ever met!

Maximus: Tell me about it.

Nemesis: At least he was only here temporarily.

All: Yeah...

Muriel: Well, anyway. Come on, everyone. Let’s head to my house and have some cup of tea until Eustace cools down. He’s always a hothead in situations like this.

The group nodded, heading into the truck and driving off.

Delete: So your house is in the middle of nowhere?

Muriel: (nods) Of course. It’s one of the reasons why it’s called Nowhere.

Delete: (nods) Oh, I see.

A bit later, at the Bagge residence, the group was drinking tea as Courage was blowing on his cup.

Muriel: I just don’t understand why Eustace would do something like this.

Wilt: Maybe he can’t remember and he’s blaming you for it.

Delete: Still, I have to figure out that riddle from that computer.

Eduardo: Hey, it no problem, Muriel.

Shirly: Yes. We will help your husband, even if he is the Stupid One.

Yumi: But what can we do?

Courage: I don’t know, guys.

Snake: Well, we better figure it out fassst.

Bubbles: Yeah, otherwise we’ll all be goners.

Bloo: Yeesh, how can things get any worse around here anyway?

Just then, the group noticed the room looking more different as Courage screamed.

Courage: AHHHH!!!

Minimus: Whoa, what's with the sudden change of scenery?

Muriel: Oh my.

Shirly: I say we look around.

The medium looked around as did the others. Just then, Muriel screamed as she shouted.

Muriel: AHHHH!!!

They gasped as they noticed the angry farmer glaring at her.

Eustace: Ha! Thought you'd seen the last of me, huh?

Bubbles: Uh-oh.

Snake: Not good.

Eustace: That does it! For stealing my memory, I sentence you to-

Just then, everything kept flashing white until it all cleared up.

Eustace: (confused) I sentence you to...I...sentence...

He looked confused as he spoke.

Eustace: What's eh?

Shirly: As usual, the Stupid One's memory's messed up more than usual.

Bloo: (smirks) Oh really...

Eustace: What's going on? Muriel, what am I doing in my house?

Ling Ling: (surprised) Nani!

Eustace: What in the world was I doing? Grrr...Confound it, I can't remember!

Delete: What's wrong with him?

Digit: Maybe somebody swiped his memory again?

Swiper: Don't look at me! I don't do memory swiping unless it's memory chips.

Just as Muriel noticed something, more flashes kept coming.

Muriel: Everyone, watch out! Something's coming!

Then, everything flashed in white. Just then, the Trickmaster appeared as it juggled its flamed sticks.

Delete: (frowns) So this is what stole the farmer's memory!

Snake: Let'sss get rid of it!

All: Yeah!

With that, the heroes charged toward the creature, about to prepare for the fight of their lives.
