Fred Receives a Couple of Shocks
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 31921

Lacking anything better to do and hoping that, even if he couldn't rescue
Astra, he could at least be helpful to these people (whoever they were),
Fred went with the police officers. Velus attempted to come with him, but
was given a firm swat on the behind and told to "Stay!" when he attempted
to climb into the strange conveyance with Fred. Fred gave him an

"Twin brother?" he asked. "If it's any consolation, it must have been very quick. He didn't suffer." Fred had no idea how to respond to that. He couldn't bear the sight of himself lying cold and dead (and kind of mangled) on a slab, but he couldn't bring himself to look away, either. As he stared, however, something else finally caught his attention. There, tucked under the corpse's arm, was a towel. And, as Fred looked at it, he started to get exactly the kind of tingly feeling he'd thought the magic towel might give him...
