Darla woke up one morning and saw an invitation to someplace called Retroville. "Cool," she then smiled. "I hope I can bring a family member and a friend or two."

"Oh, good, you're awake," Atticus smiled. "I was worried you'd be asleep all day after our last adventure."

"Hey, Atticus, do you know anything about a place called Retroville?" Darla asked.

"Yes." Atticus nodded.

"I got an invitation to go there..." Darla said.

Atticus took the note. "That's Drell's handwriting, he must want you to go on a mission since you're a Sailor Scout."

"Wahoo!" Darla cheered.

Atticus chuckled to her, then decided to give a call to Cherry to see if she was busy for this.


Cherry was on the phone with her sister. "Okay, Terry, I guess I'll let you get back to work, I have a call waiting anyway... Have fun in Colorado, bring me back a T-Shirt..." she then hung up on her sister, then took Atticus's call. "Hey, Atticus, what's up?" she then asked, sounding like she was in a good mood for once.

"Hey, Cherry; how would you like to come with me and Darla to Retroville?" Atticus asked.

"Retroville?" Cherry asked. "Never heard of that place."

"It's that one place where that one boy genius lives." Atticus said.

"That boy genius?" Cherry paused for a moment. "Oh, yeah, I've heard of him, that Jimmy Neutron kid. All right, I'll be right over, nothing's going on over here and Teresa's in Colorado for work."

"Really?" Atticus smiled. "So's my cousin Bridget."

"I think my sister and your cousin are becoming friends after that case we took in Hillwood with Arnold and his friends." Cherry replied.

"Yeah." Atticus smiled.


After a little while, Cherry showed up at the door.

"The only question is, how do we get to Retroville?" Darla asked.

"Cherry, could you...?" Atticus asked.

Cherry sighed. "Oh, jeez, I'm having such a happy-go-lucky day, yes, sir, nothing can possibly ruin my day or go wrong now!"

"Wow." Atticus said.

"You want me to summon Drell or not?" Cherry gave a look.

Atticus then backed up and let her get to it.

Cherry looked around, she then walked into a corner by herself until Drell crashed through the roof and landed on top of her. "Typical..."

Drell walked over in his robe with a drink mixer in his hands. "This better be good."

"We need a fast way to get to Retroville." Darla said.

"Retroville, huh?" Drell replied as he mixed the mixer in his hands. "What's in it for me?"

"You can do whatever you want with Cherry for 24 hours." Atticus said.

"What?!" Cherry's eyes widened.

"Tempting..." Drell smirked.

"If you don't get us there right now, I will crush you bones so much until you don't have any bones left." Atticus threatened.

"Eh, okay, I'm in a good mood..." Drell replied then. "I'm afraid I won't be with you though, I'm going on a honeymoon with Hilda."

"We understand." Atticus said.

"Hang on a sec..." Drell said as he shook the mixer and poured some alcohol into a glass and sniffed it before sighing in content. "Ah, that's the good stuff."

"Shall we now get teleported to Retroville?" Patch asked as he entered the room.

"Is this all of you?" Drell asked.

The others nodded.

"All right then..." Drell then took out his wand. "Have a good trip..." he then waved his wand and teleported them to Retroville instantly.


Meanwhile in Colorado...

Teresa and Bridget were at their computers with the other military men as they saw something on their screens.

"Sir, you might want to take a look at this." Teresa told their commander.

"What have you found?" The Commander asked.

Teresa let him take a look.

"Commercial flight?" The Commander asked.

"Uh, no, not too fast, sir." Teresa replied.

"One of our own?" The Commander then asked.

"The Air Force has nothing scheduled." Teresa informed.

"We've got ourselves a bogie." The Commander then said.

Atticus, Cherry, Darla, and Patch soon arrived in a backyard. There was an alarm going off in the military base. The Air Force planes were following a rocket that was in the skies and there appeared to be two young boys with a robot dog piloting the ship.

"Hi, nice antiques, gotta blast!" the brown-haired boy told the pilots before bringing himself back home.


"Let's go see what's going on up there." Darla said while pointing to where a rocket ship was flying.

Patch sniffed the air with his tongue sticking out, he came to the house that the backyard owned and looked to see a woman who made breakfast for her husband. "Mm." he then smiled as he smelled breakfast.

"Sorry about the toast, dear," the woman told her husband. "I had to make it in the oven. I can't find our toaster anywhere."

"Oh, this oven toast is brilliant, Sugar Booger!" the man smiled. "And your yolks are absolutely perfect too. Oh, run away with me, my love~"

Patch rolled his eyes at the romance between the two humans, but looked hungry for the bacon. The puppy soon used his magic to make the bacon come to him.

"A boy is powering a rocket?" Cherry deadpanned. "The only boy genius I know is Dexter and he's a cartoon."

"Yeah, but who's to say he's not real?" Atticus asked.

"Me." Cherry replied.

"Cherry, we've met all sorts of crazy people..." Atticus replied. "I mean, we saved a rooster from the city so the sun could shine."

"Oh, yeah..." Cherry face-palmed about that adventure. "I thought that was a fever dream."

"Nope, it was real." Atticus said.

Cherry shuddered about that adventure. "That was so crazy."

"Jimmy, time to come down, breakfast time!" the man called for his son as he played with a duck toy that came from the cereal box.

"Wow." Patch said.

Atticus held Darla up in the air while she looked in the sky with her telescope.

"I think that boy's about to crash land here." Darla said as she looked.

"Stay here." Atticus said before setting his sister back on the ground before he flew up towards the boy that was crash landing with his robot dog.

Darla then patted her clothes down as she continued to look through her telescope. "Be careful!"

"Careful is my middle name!" Atticus called back.

"It's actually James." Cherry spoke up.


Atticus soon grabbed the boy and robot dog's rocket and slowed it down so it wouldn't burn up as much.

"What the?!" the brown-haired boy asked. "Carl, do you know who this is?"

"My mom says I shouldn't talk to strangers..." the pudgy boy with glasses whimpered.

"Don't worry, I'm friendly; my name is Atticus James Fudo." Atticus told them while he slowed down the crash land even more.

Jimmy and Carl looked to each other. The robot dog barked to Atticus.

"Cool, a robot dog." Atticus smiled.

"You've never seen a robot dog before?" Jimmy asked.

"Not like this, where'd you get him?" Atticus replied.

"I built him," Jimmy replied. "His name's Goddard."

"Nice to meet you, boy." Atticus smiled at the robotic dog.

Goddard barked to Atticus. Atticus then took the rocket and gently landed it as Jimmy's parents appeared to be outside, expecting him.


"Oh, you've gotta admit, that is pretty neat." the man told his wife.

The woman coldly folded her arms.

"Eh, but not safe... Very bad..." the man then said nervously.

"You better hurry before you miss the bus." the woman told Jimmy.

"I could get him to his school on time, ma'am." Atticus volunteered.

"Oh, that might be a good idea..." the man said to his wife.

"No problem, I have a special way, and if you want, your little sister could come with me." Jimmy replied before running into the house.

"I think my brother might be the safer way." Darla said.

Patch was eating bacon while smiling happily once he got some.

"Is that my bacon?" Jimmy's dad asked.

Patch got a bit nervous before he ate the whole thing. Goddard curiously looked to Patch.

"Uh, I'd smell your butt, but it's probably all metally." Patch said to him.

"What kind of dog are you?" Goddard asked in dog language in a robotic voice.

"I'm a Dalmatian." Patch replied.

Goddard paused for a second as he was now doing research on dalmatian dogs. Patch scratched behind his ear with his back hind leg.

"How do you dogs do that? "Darla asked.

"It's kinda hard to explain," Patch replied. "It's just instinct, it helps without hands though."

"Dalmatian dogs information found." Goddard said in dog language in a robotic voice.

"Uh, good to know..." Patch replied.

Goddard began to tell him everything about Dalmatians. Patch blinked as he listened, though seemed rather bored as this seemed to go on for quite a while.


"Ready?" Atticus asked Darla.

"Do I have to go to his school?" Darla pouted.

"Oh, Darla, you love school." Atticus smiled.

"I know." Darla smirked.

Atticus gently ruffled up his hair.

"Hey!" Darla laughed.

Atticus laughed back, he then used his magic to get a backpack for Darla with school supplies and secretly put in another school desk in Jimmy's teacher's classroom so she could blend in.

Darla took the backpack and wore it. "Thanks."

"No problem," Atticus smiled. "So, shall I give you a lift to school?"

"Yes, sir!" Darla beamed.

Atticus then knelt down and Darla climbed onto his back, he then stood up and took a firm, but gently hold of her legs.

"Come on, Cherry, I'll let you catch up." Patch muffled as he carried his leash in his mouth in front of the perky goth.

Cherry shrugged. "What could possibly go wrong?" she then hooked the leash onto his collar.

"For you to be on time for school, I'll be using super-speed." Atticus said to Darla.

"Do I really have to go to school?" Darla asked.

"Darla, you love school..." Atticus reminded. "Why do you not wanna go?"

"I won't know anybody," Darla pouted. "I'll be new all over again."

"Darla, I'm sure you'll be alright." Atticus said.

"I guess so..." Darla pouted. "You just don't know what it's like to be different."

"Oh, I have a pretty good idea." Atticus replied, thinking of his days in the orphanage before he met Cherry.

We are soon shown a flashback.

"Atticus, you're not..." Cherry deadpanned.

"Why not?" Atticus replied.

"The orphanage was the most depressing years of my life." Cherry replied.

"It was worse for me before I met you." Atticus said.

"Must've been terrible..." Darla frowned.

"You have no idea..." Atticus said to her. "Should we wait for Jimmy?"

"He says he has his own way..." Darla rolled her eyes.

"Ready... And... GO!" Atticus said before running with Patch as he dragged Cherry with his leash as they ran at super-speed to make it to the school as the bus was beside them.

"I should have seen this coming!" Cherry yelped.


"Hmm..." Jimmy had missed the bus. "Seems like the perfect opportunity to try out my super Bubble Gum Mobile." And where he soon used his bubble gum themed invention.

Darla smiled as she enjoyed her ride from Atticus, then heard bouncing and looked to see Jimmy was bouncing in a large yellow bubble.

"Hey, look, Neutron's got another one." one girl listening to her music player told a blonde pigtailed girl as they rode the bus to school.

"Nice invention, Nerd-Tron," the blonde girl rolled her eyes. "Too bad someone already invented the bus!"

"Well, looks like someone is beating the buses speed." A boy said.

"I've got it down this time!" Jimmy told his classmates as he bounced along. "Internal Combustion is such an old science! Bubble Travel is the way of the future!"

"Jimmy, watch out for that-" Darla cried out.

POP!

"Tree..." Darla winced.

"He's going to be stuck there for a while." Atticus said.

"I guess trees are like brakes!" the blonde girl mocked Jimmy as they rode off on the bus.

The other kids laughed as Jimmy then fell into a trashcan underneath the tree.

"Should we help him?" Darla asked.

"Okay, Darla, hang on tight, I'm about to slam the brakes." Atticus said.

Darla held on tight as Atticus then skid on his heels so she wouldn't fly off his back. And where he got her to the school in time. After helping Jimmy out of his literal sticky situation of course and Jimmy's friend Carl who had landed in the tree earlier upside down in his parachute from the rocket launch earlier that day.
