Harmony, Valentina, and Pam have come a long way from the beginning: into a swamp filled with shampoo, across a forest made of hair, and now they are about to reach their destination: The Cave of the Golden Hairbrush!

"I can't believe we're almost to the cave!" exclaimed Valentina. "I would say that I'm sorry about what happened to your hair, Harmony, but I'm not! Ha ha ha!"

Just a few more minutes of this, Harmony thought. Once my hair is even more beautiful than before, I can make her shut up once and for all!

"Guess what, girls!" said Pam. "It looks like we've about to arrive at the cave's entrance!"

"Yippee! Earplugs for me!" Valentina cheered. She ran as fast as she could to the cave.

"Psst, Harmony." whispered Pam. "Does she know that there isn't really a.. you know..."

"Not yet," said Harmony. "But something tells me she's going to find out very soon..."

And so, Pam and Harmony joined Valentina at the cave's entrance.

"Watanomie sisters, I have to tell you something now." Pam said. "Now that we have reached the cave, my services are required no more."

"What do you mean?" asked Harmony. "You've helped us make it this far, why are you leaving now?"

"Because I'm a map to get people to the cave, not inside. I have no idea what to expect inside there."

"Well then," said Valentina. "Thanks for everything, Pam."

"Yeah, thanks." said Harmony.

"I'll never forget you!" said Pam. So he began hopping away, singing his theme song:

"Who's the guy you need to know when you've got a place to go?..."

"Okay, this is it, Harmony." said Valentina. "Are you ready for this?"

"Aye-aye captain!"

"I can't hear you!"

"AYE-AYE CAPTAIN!"

"Alright, that's enough!" Valentina replied. "Here we go!"

And so, Harmony and Valentina ran into the cave. But as soon as they made it in, they got jumpscared!

"AIIEEEEEE!"

"Hello! My name is Poppy Adams! Just click here on my add machine for a chance to win $2,478,693!"

"Cut it out!" said Harmony. She picked up a rock on the ground and threw it at Poppy's machine!

"Now look what you've done!" said the girl to the girl. "Just look at my machine! Look at this, look at that!"

"Good day!"

As Valentina and Harmony continued, the cave suddenly became darker and darker!

"Gee, it's kinda dark..." said Valentina.

"You bring a light?" Harmony asked.

"NO!"

"Well, maybe a traveler will lend us his!"

"Or, we could go to that shop right there!" Valentina said.

"What shop?"

"My shop!"

"Who said that?" said Harmony.

"Hi! I'm Johnny! Welcome to my store!"

"Have I met you somewhere?" said Valentina.

"Ignore her, mister!" said Harmony. "Just please tell us what you have available."

"Hairbrushes, earplugs, flashlights? You want it? It's yours, my friends. As long as you have enough You Thought Points."

"I'm sorry, what the heck are You Thought Points?" asked Harmony.

"The only currency for buying my stuff!" said Johnny.

"But we don't have that kind of money!" Valentina complained. "And we need flashlights to get to the treasure at the end of this cave!"

"Could you perhaps take an I.O.U?" asked Harmony.

"Sorry, girls," said Johnny. "I can't give credit. Come back when you're a little... MMM- Richer!"

So the Watanomie sisters kept on walking, until they couldn't even see each other anymore!

"Who turned out the lights?" cried Valentina.

"Don't move, Valentina!" shouted Harmony. "I want you to hold onto my hand and don't let go!"

"Now what, Harmony?" she asked.

"We'll just have to keep moving one step at a time!" Harmony replied. "On three, one-

"YAAAAAAAA!!!"

The sisters didn't realize it, but they had fallen into a pit in the middle of the cave! Now they were on a slide.

"Harmony!!! What's going on?!?!" Valentina screamed.

"How should I know?!?" shouted Harmony. "Just stay close to me!"

Eventually, the slide dropped them off deeper into the cave, both unconscious.

Meanwhile in the Forest of Locks:

"Who can help you say: 'Hey, I figured out the way'! What's my name?" sang Pam.

"THE MAP!"

"Wait!" Pam said. "I know that voice! It's..."

"Me! Snatcher the Wolf!"

"What are you doing here?"

"You may have helped those girls get to the Cave of the Golden Hairbrush," said Snatcher. "But I'm going to make sure that they never get out!"

"And you came all this way just to tell me this...?"

"Actually, I need you to help me get to that cave!"

"No way!" said Pam.

"I knew you'd say that," Snatcher replied. "That's why you're coming with me whether you like it or not!"

"You'll have to catch me first!"

"I just did!" Snatcher grabbed Pam in a matter of seconds!

"Let me go, you big bad wolf!" cried Pam.

"Nuh uh!" said Snatcher. "Now, you're going to lead me to the cave, or I'm going to rip you into pieces!"

"Yes, sir..."

Back at the cave:

Harmony and Valentina woke up, and they actually saw a beam of light in front of them!

"Harmony, look!" said Valentina. "Is that what I think it is?"

"It's the treasure!" exclaimed Harmony.

And so, they both ran as fast as they could to the golden object. But of course, Valentina stopped as soon as she saw what it was.

"Uh, Harmony?" Valentina asked. "I think we're in the wrong cave! This is just some hairbrush!"

"Actually, this is the right cave!" Harmony said. "The Cave of the Golden Hairbrush!"

"What?! You said that Pam was a map to the Golden Earplugs!"

"There's no such thing as the Golden Earplugs!" said Harmony. "Just the Golden Hairbrush!"

"I can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner!" shouted Valentina. "I knew that a 'shampoo swamp' and a 'forest of locks' wouldn't be on the way to a cave with earplugs!"

"This is the only way I could get you to come with me! I would have never made it across the Shampoo Swamp and the Forest of Locks without your help!"

"You've crossed the line, Harmony! Crossed the line!"

"I don't think so, Valentina!" said Harmony. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need that Golden Hairbrush to restore my luscious locks!"

"Not if I get rid of it!" said Valentina. She grabbed the hairbrush to drop it down the pits, but as soon as she did so, growling noises could be heard:

"GRRRRRRR...."

And there, right in front of the Watanomies, was the largest Cerberus they had ever seen...
