Muffy asks where can she shop and the guide says there is a gift shop right where they are standing. Then Fern asks her if there are any mysterious items, but she says there are none. Then Francine comes and her dad divides them into hiking buddies: Fern and Francine, Jenna and Prunella, and Muffy and Oliver Frensky. Soon they set off.
