Darla was given a surprise telegram and she took a look at it to see it was from Danny and Sawyer who asked her if she would like to come with some friends to visit them in their new home called Zootopia.
"Ooh." Darla smiled.
"It's so nice that you're friends with Danny, Sawyer, and those animals in Hollywood now." Emily smiled back to her younger daughter.
"Same here, Mom." Darla smiled.
Emily smiled back as she finished up the dishes.
"I can't wait to see how they are doing; they sure are going to be in for a surprise when they find out about Atticus becoming a god." Darla smiled.
"My own son.. A god..." Emily smiled back proudly.
"And where he can change his own size." Darla smiled.
Emily hugged Darla. "And you're a Sailor Scout."
"Yeah, and I'm proud to be one." Darla smiled.
"I'm so proud of you." Emily smiled back.
"Even prouder than for Atticus becoming a god?" Darla playfully smirked.
"I love all my babies equally..." Emily replied. "Do you mind putting the dishes away for me? I'll be right back." she then walked off.
Darla smirked as she took out her Moon Staff and used Moon Power to put the dishes away for her while her mother went away for a moment.
"And don't use your Moon Power!" Emily's voice called down.
"Too late." Darla whispered before her cell phone rang and she answered it. "Sup, Amber? No, no, I can talk..." she then walked off like a busy teenager and where her Moon Power began to go a little out of control while she was talking on the phone. "Whoa, hey!" she then yelped as she grabbed her Moon Staff. "Hang on a sec, Amber!"
Everything that Darla's Moon Power controlled soon stopped after a lightning struck the ground and Atticus appeared.
Atticus coughed slightly before stretching. "Shocking!" he then said before laughing at himself.
"Nice one, Atticus." Darla laughed.
Atticus came over then noticed what was going on. "Sheesh, Darla, I thought you were doing chores with Mom today."
"I might have used my Moon Power to do the dishes." Darla smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, Darla, you can't use your powers to do dishes..." Atticus replied. "It's the rules."
"Dang it." Darla pouted.
"Sorry, but Hilda and Zelda told me that..." Atticus put his arm around her.
Darla then cleaned up manually. "So, Atticus, how did it feel becoming all powerful?" She asked while cleaning.
"Oh, I feel so amazed with myself..." Atticus said as he sat on the couch. "I just wish you could've seen it... This must've been how Twilight felt when she became an alicorn."
"I bet it was." Darla smiled.
"Oh, man..." Atticus sprawled on the couch. "My life is so crazy."
"It sure is, so, Atticus would you like to go to a city named Zootopia?" Darla asked.
"Zootopia, huh?" Atticus asked. "That's an interesting name."
"Danny and Sawyer are going there and they offered to let me come too." Darla smiled at the invitation given to her by the cat couple she was now friends with even if they started out as enemies.
"That's great." Atticus smiled.
"So, you wanna go?" Darla asked.
"Yeah," Atticus agreed. "Let me just call Cherry and Mo so they know I'm home."
"Okay." Darla smiled.
Atticus smiled back as he took out his cell phone to do just that.
Michelle giggled as she bonded with Wendy about their witch abilities.
Cherry sighed as she felt left out until she got a ring on her phone and answered it. "Atticus, did you survive?" she then asked about her friend's latest solo mission, but had nothing to worry about since he was now a god.
"Yep, I survived." Atticus smiled.
"Great..." Cherry said before seeming a little jealous of Wendy getting most of her mother's attention. "Nothing's changed much here, but your little sister thinks she can use Moon Power to solve all her problems."
"I know." Atticus said.
Cherry sighed a bit as Wendy and Michelle had some fun and she started to feel a little left out.
"Darla's going to some place called Zootopia." Atticus told Cherry.
"I hear it's a city run by animals." Cherry replied.
"It sure is." Atticus said.
"Sounds like fun..." Cherry shrugged. "Besides, the mayor is a lion and we have met lions up close before."
"Yeah." Atticus nodded.
Cherry's left eye twitched at her mother's laughing.
"Would you like to come, Cherry?" Atticus asked. "You seem stressed."
"I'm fine..." Cherry said through her teeth.
"You sure?" Atticus asked.
"Well... I guess I could get out of the house..." Cherry then shrugged.
"Great." Atticus smiled.
"You gonna bring your giiiirlfriend?" Cherry then asked.
"Yes, I am." Atticus said.
"Of course you are... Hey, what if we turned into animals?" Cherry then asked with a laugh, remembering their Rock-A-Doodle adventure.
"Oh, please, like that could happen again." Atticus smirked.
"If it does, I blame a warlock or witch..." Cherry replied with a shrug.
"Anyways, I better call Mo." Atticus said.
"Okay, talk to you later." Cherry replied.
Atticus then hung up and then called Mo, hoping she wasn't too busy, but she hopefully wasn't as she mostly just babysat or dogsat for the family and was at the house most of the time.
"Hello." Mo smiled.
"Hey, Mo, just wanted to let you know I'm back home." Atticus smiled himself.
"Oh, Atticus, tell me everything!" Mo squealed.
"I'd love to, but I need to ask you something; would you like come with us to Zootopia?" Atticus asked.
"Zootopia?" Mo asked. "What's that?"
"It's this city run by animals..." Atticus explained. "It's so unique and awesome, I've seen commercials for it."
"Sure, I'll come." Mo smiled.
"I thought you'd love it..." Atticus smiled back.
"Now tell me, did you kick anyone's butt?!" Mo asked eagerly.
"I beat someone named Lord Beerus." Atticus said.
Mo giggled as she was eager to hear more about Atticus's story. Atticus began to tell her more of his story. Mo giggled as she listened in to this as much as she could hear.
Darla was packing up to get ready to leave to visit Danny and Sawyer in Zootopia. She soon saw a familiar fox kit arriving in the backyard through Patch's secret way from the Pound Puppies HQ.
Patch soon came out with him. "So, what'd you think, Tod?"
"It was amazing and I wanted to tell you that I'm going to Zootopia." Tod said.
"Zootopia, huh?" Patch asked.
"Yeah," Tod nodded. "I found that I have a relative there."
"That's great!" Patch smiled.
"Do you think maybe he'll tell me about my mother?" Tod sounded hopeful. "Don't get me wrong, I love Widow Tweed and all, but... I think about my mother all the time... I wonder who she is... I wonder how she is... I wonder where she is..."
Patch knew those were curious questions and he was going to find out those answers.
"Widow Tweed won't tell me about her." Tod frowned as he missed his mother even if he didn't know her.
"Then I'm coming with." Patch said.
Darla came into the backyard. "Patch, I didn't know foxes were allowed in Pound Puppies HQ."
"Yep, Tod is the very first." Patch smiled.
"I'm an honored guest!" Tod replied as he showed his black collar that had a golden tag on it.
"Ooh." Darla smiled.
"You all packed, Darla?" Patch asked.
"Yeah," Darla replied. "It'll be nice to see Danny and Sawyer too."
"So, when do we leave?" Tod asked Patch.
"First thing tomorrow morning," Patch replied. "Can I trust you to be here?"
"I will." Tod promised.
"Great." Patch said.
Tod then scampered off back home to Widow Tweed.
"He's so nice." Darla smiled.
"Yeah, he's a good kid." Patch agreed.
"Don't you mean 'kit'?" Darla asked.
"Does it matter?" Patch shrugged.
"Good point." Darla said.
"This is gonna be fun," Patch smiled as he was excited to check out Zootopia up close. "A city populated by animals."
"Then you can already guess what you'll have to wear." Darla said.
"I do?" Patch replied.
"Everyone there will think it's weird if you and Tod don't wear clothes." Darla said.
"Oh... I guess that's a good point... Also it's a good thing I can already walk on my hind legs thanks to Salem..." Patch replied. "I think I'll wear my human disguise clothes."
"That sounds like a good idea." Darla agreed with that.
"I'll give Tod some clothes and give him the ability to walk on two feet." Patch said.
Darla smiled as Patch was a very good friend.
Later that night, Darla was on the phone with her new animal friends.
"Yeah, that's right, Danny, we'll be coming by tomorrow morning," Darla said. "I'm not sure when we'll get there though to be exact."
"Oh, I just wish you could meet some of my friends back in Kokomo, Miss Dim-I mean Darla," Danny smiled. "We had such great times, I even remember how I felt inspired to make a difference myself when my old friend Judy made a play at school about how prey and predators could live together and she decided to become a cop when she grows up and I decided to be a movie star."
"Well, who knows? Maybe she'll be there." Darla said.
"She did say she always wanted to go there, even if her parents wanted her to stay home with them, her brothers, and sisters on the carrot farm..." Danny replied. "I remember how much that play inspired me to come to Hollywood in the first place."
"It must have been very inspiring." Darla smiled.
"You bet," Danny smiled back. "Well, I better get going, Sawyer has dinner ready."
"Okay, bye, Danny." Darla said before hanging up on the orange tabby.
"Are you all ready, Darla?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah, all set to go." Darla said as she put the phone back where it was.
"Great." Atticus smiled.
"Is Cherry gonna come too?" Darla asked.
"Yep." Atticus said.
Cherry soon came as if on cue.
"Cherry, where have you been?" Atticus asked.
"Sorry," Cherry replied. "My dumb cousin Dexter was getting in trouble with his teacher and he's gonna be forced to get a summer job soon."
"He got in trouble with his teacher?" Darla asked. "What'd he do?"
"I told Dexter to be careful with his mom's car and he then crashed the car into the teacher's car." Cherry replied out of annoyance.
"Whoa." Atticus said.
"That boy never listens..." Cherry rolled his eyes. "I don't know how his mother puts up with him by herself."
"I don't know either." Atticus said.
"What does his dad think?" Darla asked.
"Dexter's father left him and my aunt a long time ago..." Cherry replied softly.
"That's terrible." Darla frowned.
"Who was he?" Patch asked.
"I hadn't seen them since I was little, I don't remember..." Cherry shrugged before chuckling. "Poor Dex, I bet his mom makes him work at some fast food place."
"Maybe." Atticus shrugged.
