The Watanomie sisters started making their way to the Golden Hairbrush, uh I mean the Golden Earplugs! And Harmony decided to annoy Valentina some more by singing a somewhat familiar song:

"Swamp, Forest, Golden Earplugs! ... Where are we going? ... Golden Earplugs!"

"ENOUGH!" Valentina screamed. "If you're going to help me get these earplugs, I need to concentrate!"

"Fine, alright, I'll stop singing now." said Harmony. "Because we've arrived at the Shampoo Swamp!"

The swamp didn't have water, but it did have gallons and gallons of shampoo!

"Ewwww!" cried Valentina. "I don't like washing my hair!"

"But I LOVE it!" Harmony replied. And it's a good thing I skipped a shower today, so now I can wash my hair!"

But as soon as the sisters got close enough, they found a sign that read:

Welcome to the Shampoo Swamp!

It's 7 feet deep, so don't even bother walking through it!

"Wait, what?" Valentina asked. "How in the world are we going to get across this swamp?!"

"I'm not sure," said Harmony. "I don't see any boats around here..."

"Even if there was, it probably wouldn't have floated very well!" said Valentina.

"Okay, we've got to get across somehow..."

"Wait a minute, you two!"

"Who said that?" Valentina asked.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to Pam! He's our map. What is it, Pam?"

"Remember how I said that you will need two people to make it to the end?"

"Yeah?" said Harmony.

"One of you will have to stand on the other's shoulders and walk through the swamp!" Pam replied.

"I'm not walking through that pile of slop!" yelled Valentina. "I'm standing on your shoulders, Harmony! Plus it helps that you're taller!"

"I guess that's true," said Harmony. "Plus like I said, I'll be able to wash my hair as we walk!"

"Okay, can I please hop on now?"

And so, Harmony carried Valentina through the swamp, with Valentina plugging her nose to block out the soapy smell, and Harmony trying to clean her hair but with no luck seeing as her arms are holding onto Valentina's legs.

They eventually reached the other side of the swamp, and Valentina pulled Harmony out onto dry land.

"You did it Harmon-oh my goodness gracious!"

Because Harmony had been submerged inside shampoo for that long, she was all shiny and slippery! But worst of all, her hair got cleaned so much, that it was stuck in the place of a mohawk!

"What? What is it, Valentina?" asked Harmony. "Is my hair as beautiful as before?"

"Uhhh, yeah!" Valentina lied. "You've never looked better!"

"Lies!" Harmony shouted. "Get me a mirror right now!!!"

Harmony dug into her purple backpack she had brought and pulled out her mirror, and was followed by this reply:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

This lasted for five whole minutes!

"My hair! I look hideous! I need a hairbrush!!!"

"I'm sorry, sister," said Valentina. "But you don't have a hairbrush anymore!"

"But I can't keep going with my hair in a mohawk!" said Harmony. "I'm not moving until my hair is back to normal."

"But if we don't keep moving, it'll be dark by the time we get to the caves!" Valentina reminded.

"Ugh, fine... We'll keep moving." said Harmony. "Hey, Pam, where do we go next?"

"Ooh!" said Pam. "You made it through the Shampoo Swamp; check! Where do we go next?"

"Umm, that's what we're asking you, tiny piece of paper!" said Valentina.

"Hey! Don't be rude to him. Sorry about that." Harmony said. "Don't we go to the forest next?"

"That's right!" Pam exclaimed. "So tell everyone, next we go to the Forest of Locks!!!"
