A/N: Read & Review, you got a problem with the Tom and Jerry movie, that's your problem, not mine.
"Now, Robyn, I want you to be good for your Uncle Chip," Mr. Starling reminded his daughter. "Also, try to make sure Tom and Jerry don't cause too much trouble now."
"Don't worry, Daddy," Robyn smiled. "I'm sure they'll be on their best behavior."
"I know they will because Patch will be coming with you three." Mr. Starling said.
"I'm sure he'll help keep Tom in line..." Robyn nodded then. She was still ever-so happy she got to be with her father again, even if he was leaving again due to his job, though it was still nice and refreshing to know she wouldn't have to be trapped with her 'Aunt Figg' again.
"Where is Patch now anyway?" Mr. Starling asked his daughter.
"He said something about Cherry and Atticus that Cherry wanted to show them before he would come check in tonight before we go tomorrow." Robyn replied.
We are shown a dark room where the mentioned trio was.
"So, how does this work?" Atticus asked.
"Well, where would you like to go?" Cherry prompted. "Wild West? A snowy village? Pick a place, any place."
"Ancient Greece." Atticus said.
Cherry then nodded her head and shut her eyes. The room seemed to glow then and they were suddenly in Ancient Greece, wearing tunics and sandals. Cherry then opened her eyes and folded her arms with a smirk.
"How did you do that!?" Patch asked.
"I'm a dream bender, remember?" Cherry smirked victoriously. "Anything I dream up, becomes reality."
"But shouldn't you guys wear togas?" Patch asked.
"Tunic, toga, same diff." Cherry shrugged.
"Um, okay, uhh..." Patch decided to take a turn. "Put us in an alternate reality world where I'd be a human and you guys would be dogs."
Cherry folded her arms and shut her eyes. Suddenly, Ancient Greece faded away, and when they were in a living room, Patch was in his human form while Atticus was a silver and white wolf-dog and Cherry was a Polish greyhound.
"Cool, I'm a unique wolf." Atticus smiled.
"Looks like it..." Cherry said, scratching behind her ear with her hind leg, not even freaking out when she did it.
"Okay, Cherry, your turn." Patch suggested.
"Umm... Okay..." Cherry said.
"Nothing too dark, okay?" Atticus asked due to Cherry being a goth.
"Oh, all right..." Cherry rolled her eyes, then closed her eyes.
The room faded once more and they were in a fluffy and white house, suddenly all in white clothes, back to their original forms. There were three people sitting in chairs who looked quite elderly, but a little friendly. Atticus and Patch wondered who those people were and Cherry walked over to the elders and hugged them with a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Um, Cherry, who are these people and where are we?" Patch asked.
"The other side..." Cherry walked over after she had hugged the people.
"Other side?" Patch asked.
"I usually think about this place when I need moral guidance..." Cherry explained.
"Then who are those people?" Atticus asked.
Cherry let out a light, though noticeable shaky sigh. "My grandparents."
"Ohh." Atticus and Patch said, finally realizing what this place is.
Cherry wiped one eye and took another sigh.
"Is this place Heaven?" Atticus asked.
"Yes..." Cherry said softly, then decided to take Atticus and Patch to meet her grandparents.
"Hey, hon..." the gray-haired man smiled with a fun-loving smile and light chuckle.
"Hey, Grandpa..." Cherry nodded to him.
"How's your grandma, huh?" the man asked.
"She's fine, misses you a whole lot, especially Mom..." Cherry said, then gestured to Atticus and Patch. "Guys, this is Chester, my mother's adoptive father."
"It is an honor to meet you, sir." Atticus smiled at the grey-haired man.
"It's nice to meet ya too," Chester chuckled. "Especially a good friend of the granddaughter I never got to meet."
Patch found it sad that Chester never got to meet Cherry since he died when Michelle was in high school.
"This is Granddaddy," Cherry introduced the bald man with sunglasses. "He used to live at home before I was born..."
"Hello, boys." Tom smiled at the two.
"Hello, sir." Atticus said. He was about to shake the man's hand.
Tom surprised him, but by bumping his fist. Atticus blinked and copied suit.
Tom chuckled. "I'm one of the kids!"
"Your son certainly is..." a flossy black-haired woman with glasses giggled in agreement.
"Grandmother, you're smiling!" Cherry beamed to her paternal grandmother.
"Is that a surprise?" Patch asked.
"Folks, excuse Lizzie," Tom covered up for his wife. "But after Cherry's dad met her mom, she wasn't the happiest person in the world..."
"Not really..." Lizzie frowned sourly.
"Why not?" Atticus asked. "You should be happy that your son met someone and was getting married to the woman of his dreams!"
"Believe me, I was surprised too when I watched over their wedding ceremony," Chester could relate. "Boys, we grew up in different times, and since Bud and Michelle were so different, we didn't think they would last in their marriage."
"Why did you think that?" Atticus asked.
"Well, you know, when we were younger, everybody was separated..." Lizzie decided to explain. "People like Michelle or in her family always gave me a rough time... They always thought they were better than me... I never got to meet Michelle, but when I heard the news on Earth about my Buddy boy getting married to her, I wasn't really happy... I thought she would hurt him like those people did to me... I was narrow-minded..."
"I felt the same way, but I was proud my little monkey got to finally meet somebody she could stick with, even if he's so much older than her..." Chester added, on the same side as Lizzie.
"What time is it?" Patch asked.
The elders glanced to him.
Cherry then reached into her pocket which randomly had a clock now. "It's about 10:30, why?"
"Oh, shoot, I gotta go." Patch said.
"Could you take us back home real quick?" Atticus asked.
"I'll catch you guys later, okay?" Cherry looked to her deceased grandparents.
"Take your time." Chester smiled.
Cherry then folded her arms and shut her eyes, taking them back to her bedroom, all in their normal clothes.
"I gotta meet Tom, Jerry, and the Starlings!" Patch called as he ran out the door.
"Okay! Have fun! And try to stay out of trouble!" Atticus called out.
"I will!" Patch called as he helped himself out of the Butler house.
"The pup is goin' places." Atticus smiled proudly.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Cherry asked.
"Spend time in Ancient Greece." Atticus said with a wink.
Cherry rolled her eyes. "Very well..." she then folded her arms and closed her eyes, taking them back to Ancient Greece with the power of her imagination.
And where they were encountered with an erupting volcano.
"Oh, way to go, Atticus!" Cherry deadpanned.
Atticus looked around and then saw a huge boulder and got an idea.
While Atticus was handling the volcano with his idea, Patch was still running to make sure he wasn't late.
"Mustn't be late... Mustn't be late... Mustn't be late..." the puppy muttered to himself as he ran to the new house that was made for Robyn and her father after Figg and Lickboot were placed under arrest.
As soon as he got to the new house, he knocked on the door.
"I'll get it, Daddy!" Robyn called, then opened the door, but saw no one there. "Hello...?"
"Down here!" Patch called.
Robyn then looked down to find the Dalmatian puppy. "Oh, there you are, Patch." she smiled to him.
"Am I on time?" Patch asked.
"We're just about ready." Robyn smiled.
Patch smiled back. "Where's Tom and Jerry?" he asked, unable to find the tom cat and brown mouse.
"Getting themselves ready as well." Robyn said.
Patch knew what that meant and went to track down the cat and mouse.
Jerry was packing a tiny suitcase after he was emptying his drawers and hummed a song in the process. Tom did the same and where both were happy to see Patch as soon as they were both done packing.
"Nice to see you two getting along for a change..." Patch was happy and surprised.
"Hey, Patch," Jerry smiled. "Don't get used to it though."
"What? I said I'd change..." Tom shrugged innocently.
Patch rolled his eyes, knowing how Tom could be sometimes.
"Yeah, yeah." Jerry groaned.
Tom stuck his tongue out at Jerry. "Now, am I forgetting anything?" he asked himself.
Jerry showed him the ball of yarn.
Tom glanced at Jerry, then swiped it. "Where did you get that!?"
"Does it matter?" Jerry asked with an innocent smile.
Tom glared to the mouse, then smiled, putting the yarn in his bag. "Okay, we're ready!"
"Great." Patch smiled.
Jerry climbed on Patch's back and kept himself secure underneath the puppy's collar.
"I hope Robyn's uncle likes cats..." Tom sounded a little nervous.
"I'm sure he'll like us." Patch said, referring to himself, Tom, and Jerry.
"Oh, yeah, all of us..." Tom said then, thinking more about himself.
Robyn was making sure she had everything. "So, where are you going this time while we're gone, Daddy?"
"I'm helping an old friend of mine find a tablet in Egypt." Mr. Starling told his daughter.
"Good luck on finding it." Robyn wished.
"Thanks." Mr. Starling smiled, hugging her then.
Patch couldn't help but overhear that as he gave Jerry a ride downstairs. "Um, would this friend happened to be called Diane Becker?"
"Yeah, we've almost found it, we just have to find a way into the secret entrance," Mr. Starling said. "Wait, how do you know her name?"
"I happen to know about Diane Becker," Patch smiled sheepishly. "She's my friend human...Ish... Friend, Sabrina's mother."
"I guess you are just full of surprises, huh, boy?" Mr. Starling smiled.
"Well, I'm a puppy, it's in my nature." Patch chuckled.
Mr. Starling chuckled back and ruffled the top of his head. "Okay, we all set?"
"Yes, Daddy." Robyn nodded, they were ready to get this show on the road.
"Yes, sir, we're ready." Patch said, which to him, sounded like he was a guard dog.
Jerry also saluted.
Mr. Starling chuckled, finding that cute. "All right, let's go then."
They all then left the house, locking the door behind them, and got ready to meet Robyn's Uncle Chip.
"So is he strong in strength or in magic or in both strength and magic?" Patch asked.
"Mostly magic that I remember of." Mr. Starling replied.
"Oh, sorry for asking that question." Patch said.
"We don't see him as much as we used to," Mr. Starling explained. "He was around a lot when Robyn was a baby."
"Is he Robyn's mother's sister?" Patch asked curiously.
"Yes, he is, when Robyn's mother died, he was heartbroken." Mr. Starling said.
"I can imagine." Patch frowned to that.
Robyn said nothing, she was sleeping the trip away so it would be faster to get there.
"I wonder how Atticus and Cherry are holding up." Patch said.
Atticus and Cherry were dealing with the volcano, as the strong boy lifted up the huge boulder and plunged it into the volcano and then sealed up the volcano so it wouldn't erupt.
"Yay..." Cherry weakly waved a victory flag for Atticus.
"Wasn't that amazing?" Atticus asked her.
"Yeah, the first hundred times you used your strength for good..." Cherry yawned slightly. "Atticus, I'm proud of you, I'm sorry, it's just that once you see your best friend with his powers, it kinda gets stale after a while..."
"Yeah, it can get pretty boring." Atticus said before looking at Mo and started to have that urge he had last night.
Cherry glanced at Atticus. Atticus was going over to Mo.
"I know he loves her, but something seems different..." Cherry said to herself. She then saw him begin to flex his muscles, acting a little like Drell, but was still himself. "Atticus, this isn't like you..." she whispered to herself about how smug and cocky her best friend was becoming. She just shrugged and decided to let Atticus do this, but hoped he wouldn't be change too much and be like Drell.
Mo began to touch his muscles while blushing and was even being lifted up while she held on to one of his arms while he went up and down.
"Ooookay, that's enough, I'm out of here..." Cherry left Atticus in her imagination and would come back for him later, she then put herself back in her bedroom. "Ah..." she lay down in her bed and grabbed her covers, but did not fall asleep.
Atticus continued on and when he heard monsters coming to possibly crush him, he grew annoyed by them before smiling at Mo. "Excuse me for just one sec."
Mo nodded, silently, almost as if she were under his spell with charm and strength. Atticus smiled back, then went to fight off the monsters. And where each one was a minotaur, centaur, giant lion, and even a giant.
"Goodness gracious..." Atticus whispered to himself in surprise, but then smirked, ready to fight. "Come and get some, fellas!"
Mo smiled, looking zombified still. All of the monsters and giants all charged in and dog piled on top of him. Atticus grunted slightly, but he did not let them win. Mo was wandering backward, not saying or doing much, but she kept a smile for Atticus. Atticus finally lifted them off him and then tossed them in the air and punched each of the monsters and giants into space. Mo slowly clapped, keeping her smile.
Atticus blushed to that, then came to her. "Now, where were we?"
"I believe you were showing off your muscles to me." Mo smiled.
"Oh, yeah..." Atticus chuckled, doing it again.
Mo giggled, gushing over him like a drooling fan girl. Atticus began to continue flexing his muscles.
Cherry felt something wrong. "Why is Atticus acting like such a Drell?" she asked herself. "Why do I feel like something horrible is going to happen?"
While that went on, Patch, Tom, Jerry, and the Starlings were arriving at where Robyn's uncle lived.
"Wake up, Robyn..." Mr. Starling gently shook his daughter. "We're here."
"Hmm?" Robyn yawned. "Already?"
"Yep," Mr. Starling chuckled. "Guess you slept well."
Robyn smiled sleepily and nodded as she unhooked her seat-belt.
"Well, this house seems..." Patch said, unsure what to say about the house.
"Uh, yeah, it's... It's... Really something..." Jerry added.
"Looks creepy to me." Tom said with no hesitation whatsoever.
Patch whacked Tom on the back of the head with half of his own strength.
"Ow!" Tom rubbed his head, deeply in pain now. "What was that for?"
Patch glared at the cat, then kept his eyes on the rather strange-looking house. Mr. Starling came out with Robyn first, once they were out with Robyn's stuff, Tom, Jerry, and Patch followed out.
"What a house, um, why did he decide on this house?" Patch asked.
"Chip doesn't like to have neighbors to bother him much." Mr. Starling explained.
"Won't have that trouble if he has worse conditions than the suburbs." Tom mumbled.
"Well, I guess that makes sense." Patch said, referring to the reason why Chip chose this house.
"Come along then," Mr. Starling instructed. "This place bring back any memories, Robyn?"
"Just a little bit," Robyn halfway smiled. "I remember dreaming about it before we bought Robyn's Nest together one summer."
"Some memories can be able to come back without knowing it." Mr. Starling told his daughter.
"I barely remember this place, but I do have some memories..." Robyn said about what she knew. "Didn't my mother bring me here a lot of times when I was a baby?"
"Oh, yes," Mr. Starling smiled to her. "Seeing her brother always filled her with joy... Even if he gets cranky at times."
"How many times?" Robyn asked.
"I guess you'll have to see, I don't see your uncle as much as I used to..." Mr. Starling chuckled.
The cat, mouse, and puppy followed behind as they came to the front door.
"So what should we expect from him?" Patch asked.
"I can't really say much," Mr. Starling replied apologetically. "We talked with each other, but because of my job and because he is Robyn's mother's brother, I don't know much about him except that he's a wizard of some type."
"Cool." Patch smiled.
