A/N: RP, Story, Now.
It was time for Fall Break in local schools and Cherry was just wondering what to do with hers. She had heard of something called an Oakhaven Fest in the town, but she didn't live there and had no way of getting there. It started to make her miss Pumpkin Festivals back when she was a kid before she moved away from the true home of her life. She was then met with her friend, Atticus. Cherry and Atticus sat in the living room.
"Fall Break's my favorite break of the school year," Cherry said as she sat, holding her legs. "But there's nothing really going on here."
"I agreed with you there, I wish that there was a way for us to go somewhere, anywhere." Atticus said.
Michelle came over with a smile. "Hey, guys."
"Hi, Mom." Cherry greeted her mother.
"Why so blue?" Michelle frowned, seeing they were unhappy for some reason.
"We just don't have anything to do for Fall Break." Cherry sighed.
Michelle pouted, but then smiled. "Well, I'm going out of town to meet an old friend of mine to his hometown~"
Cherry looked interested. "Really?"
"Yes," Michelle smiled. "You might know him... He publishes those horror novels you're so fond of..."
"Oh, yeah!" Cherry beamed, she rushed to her bedroom and grabbed one of her scary books she read, she looked a little dreamily. "Ben Ravencroft is a great writer..." she looked like a shy school girl with a crush as she hugged her book.
"Sounds like someone's a big fan of Ben Ravencroft~" Atticus said.
Cherry glanced at him, slightly blushing. "Shush..."
"Atticus, would you like to come with us?" Michelle invited.
"Yes, please, it beats staying home, doing nothing." Atticus said.
"Okay, we'll meet you at yourhouse tomorrow at 10:00, it's a long drive." Michelle smiled.
Cherry didn't like the sound of the long drive, but hoped this trip would be a lot better.
"Wahoo!" Atticus said as he then rushed home.
Michelle and Cherry smiled, they decided to get some packing done. Atticus decided the same thing as soon as he got home.
"That sounds like fun." Emily smiled.
"At least he won't be bored." Patrick added, looking to his wife.
"Yeah, so, I'm gonna go up to my room to pack up for the trip." Atticus said to his parents.
"Hope you have fun," Emily smiled. "Jessica's going to spend her break with a boy she met and his family."
Patrick looked a little protective. "He better not hurt her... That girl and her boys..."
"You know girls at that age." Emily smirked playfully to her husband.
"Where is she going with this boy?" Atticus asked.
"An old home," Patrick informed. "Jessica grew up around there with friends, but you were a toddler at the time. Her friend Laurel lives there now and has been seeing a boy she's been fond of lately."
"Charlie Davis," Emily remembered. "I remember Daisy and I liked him, but he preferred Laurel... Though something about him now bothers me, I don't know why... But I hope they have fun."
"So do I, well off to packing for the trip I go." Atticus said before rushing to his room to start packing.
Emily and Patrick nodded, allowing Atticus to go do that.
After about 30 minutes atticus was finally finished packing.
"Alright, I'm all packed." Atticus said to his parents.
"Great," Emily smiled down to her boy. "I didn't make a big dinner, but how about some of your favorite leftovers?"
"Yes, please!" Atticus cheered, knowing which one she meant and which would be pizza.
Emily giggled. "Luckily it won't be as long as it was first made." she teased, putting it into the microwave to heat it back up on a plate just for him.
"Oh, I just love pizza, especially if it's pepperoni." Atticus said while waiting for the pizza.
"You're in luck." Emily giggled.
Patrick smiled, he decided to eating and finishing dinner for Atticus to go visit Oakhaven tomorrow. Atticus finished the leftovers that were on his plate.
"You should probably go to bed early, Atticus, so you're ready for Cherry and her mom to pick you up." Patrick suggested to his son once they finished dinner.
"Aww! Alright, but if you guys are going to have dessert, tell me immediately." Atticus said.
Emily smirked. "You can have some dessert before you go."
"Yay!" Atticus cheered, before going back to his room.
The following morning, Michelle came for Atticus and talked with him a moment about how things were going with the family. Cherry was asleep by the window with a pillow and her arms were hugging one of Ben Ravencroft's novels.
'She must be a huge fan if she's sleeping with one of Ben Ravencroft's novels.' Atticus thought.
Michelle smiled. "I hope you both like Oakhaven."
Cherry smiled as she continued to hug the book, she brought it so Ben could autograph it for her. "I love Fall..."
"More than you love Ben?" Michelle teased.
"Mom!" Cherry called, her face turning bright pink.
Michelle giggled as she continued to drive them and looked ahead. "That's funny... I swear I see the Mystery Machine..."
Atticus began to get really excited. "Really?" he asked excitedly. "Where? Where?"
"Right there." Michelle pointed to the vehicle in front of them as she drove.
Cherry looked over. "Hey, you're right."
Atticus got super excited as he also saw the mystery machine. "Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"Calm down before you have a sugar rush or something." Cherry laughed.
Michelle smiled, they then parked into a lot for the Oakhaven festival. It was indeed the Mystery Machine as Daphne, Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby came out. Although, it appeared that Velma was missing.
'Oh, my gosh, what do I say, what do I say, what do I say?!' Atticus thought.
Cherry nudged Atticus to keep him calm, she saw him spasming.
