Cherry was seen sitting upside down in a chair as she looked a little bored.
"Hey, Cherry..." Atticus smiled as he came with Patch. "Lionel and Mo are gonna come over."
"Hm..." Cherry replied to him before sighing and crossed her arms. "My parents went on another business trip our week off of school..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Cherry." Atticus frowned.
Patch soon licked Cherry to help cheer her up.
"Hey, quit it, Spot!" Cherry called out.
Then, a knock was heard at the door. Followed by erratic doorbell-ringing.
"That must be Mo and Lionel now." Atticus smiled as he set Patch down to get the door.
"I'm sorry your parents are gone, Cherry." Patch said.
"Meh. It's okay," Cherry shrugged. "They're busy people."
"Fair enough." Atticus replied.
Cherry soon jumped off of the chair and stood up straight.
"Ooh, doing your Mork impression, Cherry?" Mo smiled.
"No, just bored." Cherry replied.
"Well, you gonna open up or what?" Lionel asked.
Atticus opened the door with a smile for Lionel and Mo.
"The gang's all here now." Patch said.
"Hey, Lionel, rip-off cartoon at 12:00." Cherry smirked, pointing to the screen as a cartoon called Teenage Mutant Samurai Wombats was on her TV screen.
"Ugh. Next!" Lionel remarked, changing the channel. "Ah...Ninja Turtles! Now THERE'S something worth watching. Not one of those uninspired mockbusters trying to cash in on the fame with no effort."
"I thought that would make his day somehow." Cherry smirked to Atticus and Mo.
Atticus and Mo smirked to her.
"What?" Cherry pouted to them.
"You care about him." Atticus smirked.
"I thought we already established that." Mo replied.
"I know, but it's fun to rile her up like this." Atticus smirked.
"Whatever." Mo shrugged.
"Which Ninja Turtles is this?" Cherry asked Lionel.
"...I'd say... 1987," Lionel replied. "One of my favorite incarnations."
"That's a good one," Cherry said with a small nod. "My brother's favorite from when he was a kid."
Atticus, Mo, and Patch decided to watch with them.
"It's no Thunderbolt, but I suppose I could watch." Patch smiled as he got comfortable.
"This show was weird, but it was also fun," Lionel replied. "But during the last three seasons, that was when it really got epic."
"Ah, yes," Cherry said. "The Red Sky Era."
"Isn't the sky always red in Gotham though?" Atticus smirked.
"You're funny." Cherry rolled her eyes playfully.
"Depends on which Gotham it is." Lionel replied as they watched.
"Beats sitting around home for a week with nothing to do," Cherry said. "I'd do anything, even go on an adventure against my will, then sit on my butt all day hooked in front of the TV or computer. Even I get bored of that once in a while."
"In these stories, it's gonna happen," Lionel replied. "Though to be fair, I always shipped Michelangelo and April. I always felt like THEY would end up getting together at some point."
"I dunno if I ship anyone in Ninja Turtles, I didn't watch it enough growing up to think about it, but that sounds cute." Cherry commented.
"Yeah: an adventurous party animal and a serious young woman with huge ambitions. Sounds familiar, right?" Lionel asked.
"Uh... Well..." Cherry paused for a moment like she didn't get it at first.
Lionel smiled. "Relax, give it some time."
"Hm..." Cherry replied.
They continued to watch their cartoon for a while.
Cherry's spell phone began to ring and she answered it. "Hey... What? You want us do WHAT?! That's impossible!"
"Looks like that'll be our adventure of the week." Mo commented.
"Aw, yeah!" Lionel whooped. "This is happening!"
"But I don't-...Yes, I know what I-Wait! How do you know I said that?!" Cherry asked. "Are you spying on us?!"
There was soon an answer to that.
"Oy..." Cherry put her hand to her face with a sigh. "Fine... We'll be right over. Just let me tell the others first," she then hung up. "We have to go to Sabrina's house for lunch before we go anywhere."
"Alright..." Lionel shrugged. "Maybe we'll get to see her and her aunts and Salem. They might even get to join in this one!"
"Oh, yeah, that's right, you don't see Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda, and Salem that often," Cherry said to him. "I like Hilda and Zelda, they're pretty cool."
"Zelda's a great help when it comes to homework." Atticus smiled.
"And Salem is plenty funny!" Lionel added.
"Glad to see you guys are having fun..." Cherry leaned into her chair, feeling bored already.
"There's just no pleasing that girl." Patch muttered.
"I appreciate a challenge!" Lionel replied.
Cherry glanced at the clock as the cartoon marathon was slowly ending and it would soon be time for them to visit the Spellman household.
"Alright... Let's go." Lionel replied.
Cherry stayed put however as they all left.
"Cherry...?" Atticus called firmly.
"Come on! We're ALL going." Lionel replied. "Whether we like it or not... And I know you don't like it. But would you actually prefer being alone in here, slowly going crazy from isolation?"
Cherry looked over and soon bounced up and went to go join them.
"That's the spirit." Mo smiled.
"Besides, you love the Spellman house, especially on Halloween, Cherry." Patch smiled.
"Plus it wouldn't be as much fun without you." Lionel added.
"Hm..." Cherry mumbled slightly to herself.
They soon walked down the street through the neighborhood since Sabrina didn't live that far away from Cherry's house, and they soon came to the front door and rang the doorbell.
"Yoo-hoo!" Lionel called. "Anybody home...?"
After a while, someone finally came to the door.
"Oh! You're early..." Zelda smiled as she answered the door. "We were just cleaning up a little bit."
"Ah. Still, nice to be here, Ms. Zelda." Lionel replied.
"Please, come in," Zelda smiled as they walked inside. "Hilda! Sabrina! We have company!"
"If this is a salesman, we don't want any!" Salem called out.
"Ha!" Lionel snickered.
Hilda soon came out from the attic while Sabrina came out from the kitchen.
"I think it's time for Spring Cleaning." Salem said to the others.
"Hi, Salem." Patch said.
"Oh. Hey, Patch." Salem gave a small smile.
"Hi, guys!" Lionel waved.
"Hello, dear," Hilda smiled. "We don't see you as much as Atticus, Cherry, Mo, or Patch."
"Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you," Lionel replied. "I'll try to rectify that."
"Yes, it's nice to meet you too," Hilda smiled. "I guess you've heard about us."
"Yeah, mostly through talk." Lionel explained.
"Would you like anything special for lunch, Lionel?" Hilda smiled. "I'm a bit of a whiz in the kitchen."
"Hmm... I'm not picky." Lionel shrugged.
"I'll make some hot dogs." Hilda smiled and zipped off.
"So, Sabrina, erm, is your uncle here...?" Cherry asked.
"He went to his gym the last I saw," Sabrina replied. "I don't think he'll be here for lunch."
"Thank you," Cherry whispered, putting her hands together as she looked up to the Heavens before smirking and saw the others looking at her. "Uh! I mean... Too bad."
Lionel smirked. "No kidding."
"So, Sabrina, you wanna come on an adventure with us?" Atticus asked.
"It would be nice to get out of the house since Hilda and Zelda are going to the Netherworld Spa." Sabrina had to admit.
"Alright, one more teammate!" Lionel grinned.
"I usually go with Cherry and Atticus on adventures that have magic, but sure," Sabrina smiled. "I hear we're gonna go to New York City."
"If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere," Salem smirked as he came by her legs. "They'll eat me up down there, you'll see. Maybe I'll have my own float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."
"Well, stranger things have happened..." Lionel shrugged.
"Hey! Who you callin', strange?" Salem narrowed his golden eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be an imp from another dimension?"
"Your point being?" Lionel asked. "I was only saying that a talking cat wouldn't be the strangest thing that New York has ever witnessed."
"Yeah, well... Yeah, well... Yeah, well..." Salem stammered, unable to think of a comeback.
The others chuckled as that was kind of funny.
"Hmph." Salem pouted.
Lionel shrugged. "Let's just call it a tie."
Eventually, they came in the kitchen to have some hot dogs for lunch, though Salem preferred to have fish, being a cat and all since he was kind of stuck that way for a while.
"Cheeeeeeeeeese..." Cherry smirked to herself, putting cheese on her hot dog.
"Hey, don't bogart the fromagé!' Lionel replied. "And somebody pass the ketchup, too!"
Cherry playfully stuck her tongue out.
"Uh... Zelda...?" Mo asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, Mo, yours is a veggie dog." Zelda reassured.
"Phew!" Mo smiled in relief before handing the ketchup bottle to Lionel.
"Awesome!" Lionel whooped as he slathered the cheese and ketchup on his hot dogs.
"Mmf..." Patch smiled hungrily. "I love hot dogs, but they were so hard to eat whenever I go to visit my brothers and sisters with Rolly around."
"I can see why..." Lionel replied as he gobbled down the hot dogs in several bites.
"Tell me about it." Patch smiled.
"I'm gonna stick to fish." Salem replied.
"Good for you, bud." Lionel replied with a light burp.
"So how's Harvey?" Atticus smirked to Sabrina.
"Oh, uh, he's okay," Sabrina said bashfully. "You know... Harvey being Harvey."
"That's nice to hear." Lionel nodded.
"Yeah..." Sabrina smiled bashfully when Harvey was mentioned which made her aunts smirk slightly.
Lionel eventually finished his lunch off.
"Hurry up with lunch, guys, so we can go." Atticus smiled once he finished drinking his lemonade.
"I'm finished." Cherry said.
"Me too." Patch said as he wiped his muzzle.
"Et tú, Mo?" asked Lionel.
"All right," Mo said after she washed some sauce off her hands that got on her from her eating. "Let's get going."
"At least this won't be scary," Cherry said before smirking. "Uh, not that anything scares me."
"Drell's going to drive you guys." Hilda said.
"Scared yet?" Lionel asked.
"Erm... I'll be fine..." Cherry smiled nervously from that. "He's gotten better in his driving, right? I mean... He drove you guys over when we visited the Haunted Mansion, right?"
The others didn't say anything and soon went to wait on the porch.
"Right?!" Cherry asked.
"I wasn't there for that, so I don't really know." Lionel replied.
"Eh, he can't be worse than Cruella." Cherry said as she went to wait on the porch with the others.
"Just in case..." Lionel replied, before making helmets for all of them.
Eventually, a car came over with the driver.
"Quick! Someone call shotgun!" Cherry begged the others. "Do it now! Shotgun! SHOTGUN! SHOTGUN!" she then cried out.
"You wanna ride shotgun, Cherry?" Drell asked as he came out to them.
"D'oh..." Cherry groaned.
Lionel waved the helmet at her. "Last chance..." he replied.
Cherry soon took the helmet and put it on as she seemed to be stuck.
"I'm gonna go say hi to Hilda for a bit." Drell said as he walked into the house.
"K, but don't take too long," Lionel replied. "We got a story to do!"
They soon heard the car shake slightly. Everyone looked to each other and Atticus came to open the door to see what it was.
"HI!" Thor beamed as he jumped out and landed on top of Atticus with a smile.
"Oh, crikey..." Lionel sighed. "Hello, Thor..."
"I didn't know you were gonna be here." Atticus said to his best guy friend.
"I snucked in." Thor smirked.
"That's not English." Cherry deadpanned.
"It's 'I snuck in', Thor." Lionel corrected.
"Oh... Sorry..." Thor said. "Anyway, don't tell my uncle I'm here."
"He's gonna find out anyway," Cherry told him. "Just go home so you don't get grounded for 1,000 years or whatever witch and warlock parents do with their kids."
"Yeah." Lionel nodded.
"You think my uncle will find out I'm here?" Thor asked.
"Well..." Atticus paused.
"YES!" Cherry replied. "He knows everything!"
"True." Lionel nodded.
Thor pouted to them.
"GO!" Cherry told him.
"I never get to go anywhere..." Thor pouted as he went back home.
"Later, dude." Lionel replied.
"He'll be fine..." Cherry rolled her eyes. "Ugh, what is taking that warlock so long?"
"Uh, Cherry, I wouldn't go in there right away if I were you." Sabrina warned.
"Come on, what could happen?" Cherry rolled her eyes as she went inside the house and went up to Hilda's bedroom up the stairs while everyone else waited outside.
"Don't tempt fate," Lionel suggested. "That's a good way to get into trouble."
Cherry shut the door as she went up the stairs. Everyone else waited for her.
Cherry soon yelled out, running down the stairs and came out the door, leaning on it to shut it and hyperventilated. "I just had a flashback from an episode of That 70's Show when Eric walks in on his parents-"
"Told you." Lionel replied.
Cherry soon took out a nueralyzer from Men in Black and flashed her eyes before she soon sighed in relief. "Ah... I feel so much better somehow..." she then said as she forgot what she had witnessed.
"Lemme guess, she walked in on Drell and Hilda doing the deed?" Lionel asked.
"I what?" Cherry asked.
"Yep!" Atticus remarked. "I've seen that happen before."
"She saw Drell firing his spirit cannon into Hilda's mountain tunnel?" Lionel chuckled.
"Stop it!" Cherry cried out.
"Yeah, she saw Drell and Hilda having hot pudding for supper." Atticus said.
Lionel snickered at that.
"You say Cherry walked in on them wrestling?" Patch asked.
"I hate you all!" Cherry cried out. "Sabrina, you have to feel grossed out by this! That's your own aunt!"
"Hey, I can't decide who she dates, even if I don't like them," Sabrina replied. "Did that once and it backfired spectacularly."
Lionel was on the floor, rolling with laughter.
"Make it stop!" Cherry cried out. "Please, you guys, make it STOP!"
Drell soon came downstairs with his hair messed up more than usual and he looked a little too happy as he went out to his car.
"Hey, Drell, you and Hilda make some of the ol' Rasta McNasty?" Lionel snickered.
Cherry cried out as it seemed like the others were making her miserable on purpose.
"Grown-up talk..." Drell said as he took the wheel. "Ooh, my hair's all messed up."
"Isn't it always?" Mo replied.
"Yeah, but even MORE than usual," Lionel replied. "Way to go."
Drell spit in one hand and flattened his hair a little before taking the wheel. "Onward!" he then called out before driving off once they were all in the car.
Lionel plunked his helmet on as they took off. Atticus helped Patch with his helmet as Mo put on her own.
"Heeey... What's with the helmets?" Drell asked them. "Do you guys think I'm a bad driver?"
"Oh, noooo..." Atticus attempted to lie. "Uh... It's National Wear a Helmet in a Car Day?"
"Simply a precaution in case something uncontrollable and dangerous happens." Lionel explained.
Drell glanced at them before shrugging and soon drove off with them to New York City.
Soon, they arrived in Manhattan, seeing lots of people eating pizzas.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm hungry..." Drell said to the others as he seemed to drive better than he ever did before, though Cherry was still shook up about being right next to him for the long car ride. "Who wants pizza?"
"I do!" The others replied.
Cherry muttered before she fainted in her seat.
"C'mon, wake up," Lionel remarked. "You're gonna miss the fun!"
Everyone soon got out of the car.
"Let's see if I can beat the rush." Drell smirked as he got ready like a football player.
"What rush?" Lionel asked.
Drell pointed to inside the pizza store which seemed to have a bunch of people inside, wanting to get some.
"Man, it's like Pizza Day in school when they have actual pizza delivered in the cafeteria instead of cooking their own." Sabrina commented.
"I've heard of that," Lionel replied. "It sounds nice."
"Chaaaarge!" Drell called out and soon ran into the pizza place with the others following behind him.
"You know what pizza place I think would be cool to see in real life?" Cherry asked.
"What?" Mo replied.
"Pizza Planet from Toy Story." Cherry said.
"Aw, that would be AWESOME!" Lionel agreed. "That's so much awesome potential."
"It does look pretty cool from what we see of it." Atticus had to agree.
"Yeah!" Patch nodded.
Atticus, Cherry, Lionel, Mo, Patch, and Sabrina soon got very hungry as they saw a lot of people with their own pizza and Drell came to beat traffic as he went to get some pizza for him and the others. Some dough was flying and soon landed on his head which made the others snicker to his misfortune.
"I don't think that's how you eat it..." Lionel commented.
Drell soon took the dough off and glanced over. The others smiled nervously and pointed to each other as he heard some of them laughing at him.
Lionel rolled his eyes at this. "Loyalty." he commented sarcastically.
Drell soon took the dough off and ordered the pizzas once it was finally his turn, and he soon sat down. "We'll look for those turtles after we eat," he said. "I figured you'd like to eat something since it's been a long car ride."
"Fair enough." Lionel replied with a shrug.
Drell soon ruffled through his hair and some dough dust came out, making the others cough a bit.
"Man, it sure is busy today." Sabrina commented.
"Well, there are probably a lot of orders going out." Patch replied.
"I should say so," Cherry said. "It's busier than my mom's work around here."
"Is it for here or to go?" Atticus asked.
"I ordered it to go," Drell said. "It's more crowded than an Apple Family Reunion in here."
"I haven't seen one, so I'll take your word for it." Lionel replied.
"Eh, sometime if you want," Drell said. "Unless you're gonna be like Cherry's friend Cathleen and just protest about Equestria nonstop."
"I was just curious about it," Lionel replied. "Wonder what my element would be, anyway...?"
"Silliness?" Cherry teased, unable to resist saying that.
"That's a little one-sided, but okay..." Lionel replied.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Cherry said.
"What's yours again?" Lionel asked.
"I represent The Element of Empathy," Cherry replied. "Turns out since I've grown as a friend, I've become more empathetic to those in need."
"Well, it fits," Lionel replied.
"More or less..." Atticus commented.
Cherry gave a small glance, not sure how to take that, but held her stomach as it growled since they hadn't eaten since Greendale.
"Hey, relax," Lionel replied. "We got pizza."
Drell soon walked out with them as they got some pizza as a delivery boy was about to leave on his scooter.
"Hey, I wonder if that guy's going anywhere important...?" Lionel pondered.
"I'm curious too." Atticus replied.
"Oh, no," Cherry said. "No, no, no, no!"
"What?" Atticus asked.
"Every time you follow someone, you get us into trouble." Cherry glared.
"Hey, you got ME here, remember?" Lionel asked. "Plus, that guy's one of the pivotal characters in this story!"
"Uh... Well..." Cherry paused.
"Come on!" Atticus smiled. "This should be good!"
"Yeah!" Lionel whooped as the kids followed behind the boy.
Cherry groaned slightly and soon went to follow after them. The delivery boy smiled as he drove off with the pizza to where he was supposed to go, and so the kids followed behind until he got to his stop.
Cherry panted a bit from both running and the smell of the pizza.
"April O'Neil..." The pizza delivery boy smirked to himself as he took the pizza out of his scooter back.
"Okay, we followed him, can we go to a hotel now or something?" Cherry complained.
"In a minute," Lionel replied. "You wanna piggyback or something?"
"Oh, I make Atticus do that so many times, I couldn't do it again." Cherry said.
"It's fine, no trouble at all." Lionel replied.
"Ooh, speak for me why don't you?" Atticus chuckled, though he never minded since he was so strong.
The pizza boy soon collected the pizza and came over to a van in the alleyway.
"I just wanna eat." Cherry groaned before they followed the pizza boy.
"In good time." Lionel replied, as the pizza boy saw several people inside the store proceeding to rob it.
"This adventure lifestyle is starting to kill me." Cherry muttered.
