Cherry, Atticus, Mo, Sabrina, Penelope, and Patch stared at the clock as it seemed to tick very slowly. It was almost 3:00 and then they would be out for the best three months of their lives; Summer Vacation. They were also hoping for a vacation away from any of their usual tasks and adventures, but knowing their lives, that would not be, so they would attempt to make the most of it.
"Come on." Atticus whispered.
Cherry stretched her fingers out and she seemed to claw against her desk. The teacher was going on for a while, but there seemed to be no point since this was the last day of school.
"Come on, come on." Patch whispered.
Mo had a lot of trouble sitting still in her seat.
"Uh, sir, excuse me, but the clock?" Sabrina raised her hand.
The teacher looked up to see there were ten seconds until 3:00 which meant it was time for the students to count down until the clock would strike and the final bell of the year would ring. "Oh, yes, please continue."
"Here we go." Penelope smiled.
The students then counted down from ten and once they got to one, the clock struck 3:00 and the final bell rang and the students cheered in response and ran out of the classrooms like there was no tomorrow.
"Hey, settle down!" Ms. Magrooney came out from his classroom.
"Yeah, it's only the end of the school year." Mrs. Crudup added with a scoff.
The two then looked to each other and laughed in victory. "THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR?!"
"Finally! Summer vacation!" Patch smiled.
"Three whole months of fun!" Atticus laughed as he danced with Patch.
After celebrating and getting out of the school zone...
"Nothing can possibly ruin this vacation, what do you guys wanna do?" Cherry asked, feeling pumped about this summer. "Go camping, have a picnic, or should we just spend the twelve weeks curled up with the television?"
"How about working for my wishes?" Drell came behind them and folded his arms.
"Work?!" Cherry spun on her heels. "Drell, it's summer!"
"Yeah, it's summer; we should be relaxing." Mo said.
"I don't think so..." Drell replied.
"Look, I'm going on summer vacation and I'm not gonna let YOU ruin it!" Cherry glared at Drell.
"None of us are gonna let you ruin this summer vacation for us, Drell!" Atticus also glared.
"Don't make me make you..." Drell glared back.
"Gotta catch us first!" Patch challenged.
"Okay, I was going to do this nicely and help you, but you're all on your own!" Drell said before zapping all of them and absorbing something powerful from them all.
"Wow, I feel dizzy all of the sudden..." Sabrina held her head.
"Me too..." Mo groaned. "What just happened?"
"I took your magic away." Drell replied as he held out a jar, even having Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch's Elements of Harmony.
"Give us those back!" Atticus glared.
"Ah, ah, ah," Drell kept it out of their reach. "Not until you complete a task for me, I was going to be nice and help you, but right now, you're all on your own to Acme Acres."
"Acme Acres?" the others asked, never hearing of that place before.
"Yes," Drell replied simply. 'You all know the Looney Tunes nice and well, but this is where they go on their off time and are instructors at Acme Looniversity where young toons go to learn how to be decent cartoon characters."
"And what does this have to do with us?" Patch asked.
"Find out on your own, you've all angered me..." Drell stepped back. "Five... Four...'
"Wait, Drell, I was jsut kidding..." Cherry grew worried. "Oh, Sabrina, make him stop!"
"Three..." Drell continued to count down.
"I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT I SAID TO YOU!" Cherry panicked. "JUST DON'T SEND US AWAY RIGHT THIS SECOND!"
"Two..." Drell continued to count down.
"Oh, Drell, for the love of humanity, please don't do this to us!" Cherry blubbered.
"ONE!" Drell then said and sent them through a rainbow colored portal which sucked them all up right away.
"DRELL!" Atticus yelled out, causing crystal spikes to form which worried Drell.
"I'll worry about those later..." Drell smiled nervously and walked off to tell everyone where the kids and Patch were.
At the Spellman house...
"Oh, Edward, I think it's nice of you and Diana to spend the whole summer with Sabrina," Hilda beamed. 'She'll be so surprised!"
"Yeah, we'll tell her when she gets home, probably making plans with her friends right now though." Edward smiled to his sister.
"Um, guys, I see crystal spikes outside." Salem said, worried as he looked outside the window.
"Oh, my, Atticus must be upset about something..." Zelda sounded cautious.
Drell knocked on the door.
Hilda opened the door and smiled. "Oh, Drelly, what a surprise!" she then looked behind him. "Uh, where are the kids?"
"They're going away on another adventure for my wishes," Drell smiled, then held out his jar. "I've collected their magic and they won't get it back until they return from Acme Acres."
Hilda's smile dropped. "Drell... Sabrina's parents are here to take her home for the whole summer."
"What...?" Drell's eyes widened, feeling stupid and nervous right now.
"And the crystal spikes are spreading." Salem added.
"Heh..." Drell gripped his collar nervously.
"All right, Drell, where's my daughter?" Diana smiled. "I'm ready to spend some time with her now that she's fourteen."
Drell stepped back nervously. "Funny story about that..." he then explained to Sabrina's family about what he did, trying to make himself sound innocent so they wouldn't hurt him or blame him, but as he went on, the family seemed to get angrier and angrier with him.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU DO REALIZE THAT WITHOUT ATTICUS HERE, THE CRYSTALLlIZING WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND!" Salem yelled at him not caring of any punishment Drell might give him later on.
"Don't raise your voice to me!" Drell glared to the cursed warlock, then put his hands in Hilda's hands and put his head on her shoulder. "I did the right thing, right, honey?"
"Shut your mouth, Drell Batsworth." Hilda scolded.
Drell's eyes widened behind his glasses and he looked rather nervous of his wife's tone. Salem soon opened the door to show his theory about the crystallizing spreading was right.
"Uh, I better go!" Drell ran out.
The others looked rather angry and not very happy with the warlock.
Drell then knocked on the Fudo door and told Patrick and Emily the same thing. Suddenly, Drell was on the floor and Patrick had his foot on the warlock's back and turned his arm painfully backwards.
"Ow, ow, owww!" Drell groaned in pain as he tried to get free, but he was trapped.
"YOU IDIOT, WITHOUT ATTICUS HERE; THE CRYSTALLIZING WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD!" Patrick yelled at Drell.
"Sorry, sorry!" Drell clenched his teeth in pain.
Patrick then body-slammed Drell. Drell fell flat on the ground and ran off to tell Cherry's parents what was going on while he still had a few bones which weren't broken.
"Cherry's parents are going to be furious." Emily said.
"Mm-hmm, I can't tell which one of them is scarier..." Patrick nodded in agreement.
Drell walked into Cherry's house.
A minute later...
Drell screamed as he ran out of the house in alarm. "SCARY MORTAL DADDY, SCARY MORTAL DADDY!"
"GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!" Bud yelled.
"SEND OUR CHILD AWAY, WILL YOU?!" Michelle sounded just as enraged.
Drell came up in front of a wall and leaned against it, breathing nervously. "It can't get any worse!"
A crystal spike soon came through the wall and where the crystallizing was spreading and where it even touched his skin.
"YOW!" Drell groaned and held his arm and looked nervous as he saw the spikes coming. "SKIPPY!"
Skippy then appeared, looking ready to serve his friend.
"Skippy, funny story," Drell laughed nervously. "You see..."
One story later...
"So, you see, it's not really my fault," Drell concluded. "Ya know?"
Skippy rolled up a magazine and then hit Drell on the head with it with a scolding look on his face and he even did a 'shame on you' gesture.
"Okay! Fine, I get it; this really is my fault!" Drell glared. "And I didn't even tell them the reason why they were going there."
Skippy looked firm.
"Fine, I'll go after them..." Drell groaned.
Skippy then smiled.
Drell then grabbed his tie and yanked him forward with a smirk. "But you're coming with me!"
Skippy's eyes widened and he quickly shook his head in decline.
"Would you rather like to stay here, where it is being crystallized as we speak?" Drell asked.
Skippy then zipped off and came back with suitcases.
"That's what I thought..." Drell narrowed his eyes.
Skippy started to tap on his watch, telling Drell sometime today.
"BE PATIENT!" Drell yelled which then made Skippy flinch and cower slightly. 'Let's go to Acme Acres."
Skippy nodded and they were then being transported into the cartoony wacky land just as Acme Looniversity itself was being let out for the summer.
"I hope Atticus is calm when we find them." Drell said.
Skippy rolled his eyes slightly.
Meanwhile with Atticus and the others with Atticus still angry with Drell...
"I feel sick..." Cherry looked slightly nauseous. "I think I'm gonna puke."
"I can't believe that Drell would do this to us and on summer vacation!" Atticus said out of anger.
"Take it easy..." Mo tried.
"How is he supposed to take it easy when we are suppose to be on summer vacation and not on some stupid adventure?!" Penelope asked.
"I have to agree, this adventure seems like it's not going to be interesting." Atticus said.
"I've always hated Drell, I never asked to be associated with him, but every day, it's just stupid assignments and adventures!" Cherry sneered.
"Well, maybe there's a reason why we're in this adventure." Patch said.
"Yeah, but Drell wouldn't tell us..." Sabrina frowned.
"Maybe we should split up evenly," Cherry suggested. "To explore the area a little more."
"Sounds good to me." Mo shrugged.
"Three of us go that way and the other three go the other way." Cherry said.
"I'll go with Sabrina and Penelope." Patch decided.
"Okay, Atticus, Mo, come with me." Cherry then said, going one way with hem.
Patch then left with the witchlings to the other way.
