Ch. 1: Two Old Friends

So far, it has been weeks, and Colleen has recovered from her injuries, thanks to Shasta and her training in healing. Drago decides to make it up to Colleen for nearly causing trouble with Stacey by taking her to the movies (as friends). He is already at Colleen's house to pick her up.

"Hi, Jordan," Drago greeted, "Is Colleen al set for the movie?"

"She's upstairs getting ready," Jordan said, "How've you been doin' since your punishment?"

"I've been better. Dad went easy on me, compared to Tori and Cody's mom."

"In spite of my daughter's morals, I wish she'd leave that brat in the Tenderloins."

"JORDAN!" Katie called as she came out of the kitchen glaring at Jordan.

"Just kidding, Katie."

Colleen then comes down wearing a purple, maxi dress as Holly followed her downstairs.

"Are you ready for the movie, Drago?" Colleen asks with excitement.

"Ready, Colleen," Drago said.

They are about to leave when they hear a knock in the door. Colleen opens the door and sees Burford McDonald.

"Buford! What are you doing here?" Drago asks ecstatically.

"I'm here to visit an old friend from the University, so I dropped by for a visit here," Buford said.

"Mom, this is Professor Buford McDonald," Colleen introduced, "He and his family helped us against the goblins when we found Cody."

"Dr. Buford McDonald?!" Katie exclaimed, "Your books in astrophysics are amazing."

"Thank you," Buford thanks, "I brought along two other friends."

Mordecai and Egbert walk into the house.

"Mordecai! Egbert!" Colleen said as she lowers down and pets them as they cuddle her and Drago.

"Your pets?" Jordan asks with wide-eyes.

"Mordecai and Egbert are the Talisman animals," Colleen explained, "They are some of Jackie and Jade's friends."

"Won't you come in and join us, Dr. McDonald?" Katie invited him.

"Sure, Mrs. O'Connell," Buford took off his hat.

Buford comes in and goes into the living room with Jordan and Katie.

"Holly, why don't you come and keep Mordecai and Egbert entertained?" Colleen asks for a favor.

Holly comes down and looks at Egbert and Mordecai with awe while Drago and colleen go in to talk to Buford.

Holly approaches them with caution since she has never seen farm animals before.

"Don't be afraid, Little kitty," Mordecai says, "We won't hurt you."

"Hi," Holly greeted, "I'm Holly."

"I'm Mordecai," he introduced himself, "This little rooster on my back is Egbert."

"Nice to meet you," Egbert squacked.

"Sorry for being so nervous. I've never seen farm animals up close before."

"That's okay. We're just getting use to being in the city."
