In the magical classroom, there was a lesson going on, about something important, concerning their course on The Elements.
"So, as you see, The Sorzin Comet comes every 100 years, and you all need permission slips to join us out Friday night in a few weeks to see it up close, are there any questions?" Mr. Snipe asked before hearing snoring and he looked around to see that Cherry of all people had fallen asleep in class. He soon decided to give her a fright as he slammed his books down on his desk which was loud enough to wake up the perky goth.
"I'm awake!" Cherry yelped.
"Cherry...?" Atticus frowned in concern.
"I was totally listening..." Cherry said. "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492."
"Right history lesson, wrong class," Mr. Snipes told her. "We were talking about The Sorzin Comet and that you all need permission slips to joins us out Friday night in a few weeks."
"Oh... Right..." Cherry said.
Cassandra laughed at Cherry which made the perky goth glare at her. Mr. Snipe decided to make a phone call as class was then dismissed.
"Man, I don't know if I can wait a few weeks until that comet thing, it sounds awesome!" Atticus said as they left the classroom.
"It sure does." Patch smiled.
"I bet it's going to be amazing." Mo smiled back.
"If Cherry doesn't fall asleep by then." Cassandra mocked.
"I have a very busy night job!" Cherry glared. "And some adventures... And schoolwork..." she then said while yawning. "Maybe I need a little nap before dinner."
"Yeah, maybe a little nap will help." Atticus said.
"Sure seems like it." Mo said.
Cherry soon went straight home to go take a nap.
"What can we do until that comet comes around?" Atticus wondered.
"Head's up!" A voice called out as a soccer ball seemed to fly from nowhere.
Atticus soon caught the soccer ball while making sure he didn't use his full strength.
"Heh... Sorry about that..." A boy said to him. "I gotta practice for the big game."
"No problem, just watch where you aim next time." Mo advised.
Atticus soon handed the boy back his ball.
"Sorry about that..." The boy said. "Uh, you guys aren't gonna beat me up, right?"
"No, of course not." Mo replied.
"Oh... Good... I thought maybe you were high school seniors or something..." The boy smiled in relief.
"We are high school seniors, but we're not those kind of bully high school seniors." Mo explained.
"Oh... Well... That's good..." The boy replied. "I just didn't think they talked to younger students unless they were gonna hurt 'em."
"I only hurt bad guys..." Atticus smirked. "What's your name, kid?" he then asked in a friendly tone.
"I'm Scott." The boy said softly.
"Nice to meet ya," Atticus replied back softly. "I'm Atticus and this is Patch and my best friend, Cherry and my girlfriend and future bride, Mo."
"Future bride?" Mo blushed though giggled. "Why, Atticus~..."
"Is your friend that girl who looks like a zombie all the time?" Scott asked about Cherry who had sleep trouble lately.
"That's her." Atticus nodded.
"She kinda spooks me, though can't be worse than my mom on a bad day or my little sister on any other day." Scott replied.
"Can they really be that bad?" Mo asked.
"Do you want me to answer that?" Scott muttered slightly about his family. "I better get going."
They all said goodbye to Scott as he seemed like a nice boy.
"Nice kid." Patch commented.
"Yeah, he seems nice." Mo nodded.
"Well, Cherry's gonna nap, I guess I'll do some homework." Atticus said, walking off with Patch.
"Want some company?" Mo blushed.
"Sure." Atticus smiled.
Mo giggled and went to follow them home.
Cherry was fast asleep at home and Michelle had picked up the phone, receiving complaints from school and she saw that she would have to talk to her daughter about something important, but that would have to wait until after Cherry's nap.
"These long school days, man..." Atticus yawned as he studied with Mo. "Oh, well, at least this is more exciting than regular school. Okay, the four major Elements are Water... Air... Fire... And..." he then took a look at the book. "Earth! Why can't I remember that?!"
"Don't worry, you'll get it." Mo smiled.
"Earth... Fire... Air... And Water..." Atticus said.
"Yes, and they were divided..." Mo nodded. "Especially the siblings who found the boy in the iceberg who was an air-bender while they came from The...?" she then prompted for him to answer to help him study.
"Southern Water Tribe?" Atticus guessed.
"Yes!" Mo smiled to him.
"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered.
"You're doing great!" Mo smiled to him.
"Heh... I'm gonna wing this course." Atticus smiled back.
"You sure are." Mo smiled back.
"As long as there aren't any distractions..." Atticus replied as they studied the many books.
Eventually, Mo went home for dinner as it was dinner time for everyone, even Cherry, but she was still asleep. As the Fudo family was about to eat dinner, there soon came a knock at the door.
"Sounds like he's here." Patrick smiled.
"He?" Atticus repeated.
"You'll see." Patrick smiled as he came to the door and answered it to show and not tell since it was a surprise.
And where it was a very good surprise as Atticus smiled as he saw who entered the house.
"Hey, you guys mind if I stay for dinner?"
"Of course you can, we'd love it." Patrick chuckled.
"It's great to see you again, Superman." Emily smiled.
Atticus soon dashed over and hugged him.
"Hello, Atticus." Superman chuckled down to him.
"This is the best day ever!" Atticus beamed which made Darla and Casper chuckle to him.
"So, what brings you here?" Patch asked Superman.
"Oh, just visiting for dinner, and, oh, I have to tell you something, Atticus." Superman said as he sat down.
"Don't tell me; food first, then talk." Darla guessed.
"Exactly." Superman nodded.
"Called it." Darla smiled.
They soon ate a special dinner together.
"How's school going?" Superman asked Atticus.
"It's going great," Atticus smiled. "We learned that in a few weeks we get to see The Sorzin Comet up close."
"Ah, The Sorzin Comet..." Patrick smiled. "It comes around once every 100 years."
"We had one of our dates during one." Emily smiled back.
"Aw!" Darla smiled.
"It does sound exciting from what I'm hearing." Casper said.
"Yeah, I hope it is," Atticus agreed. "Mr. Snipe's even teaching us about the Elements from Ancient Times."
"That's great." Patrick smiled.
"So, Atticus, you like superheros..." Superman began. "You ever hear of someone called The Steel Condor?"
"You know it." Atticus nodded.
"Well... We don't have the best relationship, but you like to help people, so... I was wondering." Superman said.
"Yes?" Atticus asked.
"Mind helping his grandson?" Superman then requested.
"Sure." Atticus smiled.
"Oh, my, is there something wrong?" Emily asked.
"Well, his family usually get their powers around his age, but his birthday is coming up, and he hasn't shown any powers yet, so I thought maybe Atticus could help him out." Superman explained.
"I'll help in any way I can." Atticus smiled.
"I know you will." Superman smiled back.
"So, now that that's out of the way, anything else new?" Patrick asked.
"Well... A certain cousin of mine wants to meet a certain little girl of yours." Superman replied.
"Supergirl wants to meet me?!" Darla smiled out of excitement.
Superman nodded. The family soon ducked down and covered their ears while Superman looked confused, but understood as Darla let out a high-pitched fan girl scream, and where her high-pitched fan girl scream caused the windows to break.
"Jeez, Darla!" Emily cried out.
"Sorry." Darla smiled bashfully.
"Looks like we'll need to fix those windows." Patrick said.
"I'm just glad that wasn't like the Dead Scream that Sailor Pluto uses." Darla replied.
"You said it." Patch said as he used his magic to fix the windows.
"Uh, thank you, Superman, tell Supergirl I look forward to it." Darla said.
"You got it, kiddo." Superman smiled to her.
"So what's his grandson's name?" Atticus asked.
"Scott Marshall," Superman informed. "You didn't hear this from me, but his mother is Warrior Woman."
"Huh... Funny... I met a Scott earlier today." Atticus replied.
"Did he have a soccer ball with him?" Superman asked.
"Yeah..." Atticus replied. "Wait a second. Scott is the grandson of The Steel Condor?!"
"I believe that's what he said." Casper chuckled.
"Whoa." Atticus smiled.
"Good, you've already met," Superman smiled back. "I just hope his grandfather simmers down if he talks about me."
"You two not get along?" Atticus asked.
"Ah, well, before I came around, he was the strong and steel superhero back in his time." Superman replied.
"So he's jealous?" Atticus guessed.
"Very much..." Superman nodded. "Oh, Emily, this is a great steak."
"Isn't it though?" Emily smiled. "It's London Broil."
"I can't wait to get started." Atticus smiled.
"I'm gonna meet Supergirl~" Darla beamed.
The others looked to her.
"Sorry... I'm excited..." Darla smiled sheepishly. "Congratulations, Atticus."
"You can start tomorrow." Superman told his godson.
"Sounds good..." Atticus replied. "I really need to learn these Elements... Fire! Air! Water! ...Energy...?"
"Earth." Emily said.
"Ugh!" Atticus groaned and put his head on the table. "Why do I keep forgetting that one element?!"
"You'll get the hang of it..." Emily said. "Try not to think about it too much. Why don't you take a shower and go to bed early?"
"That sounds nice." Atticus said.
"I hope I can survive high school... It sounds so hard..." Darla commented.
"It sure is." Atticus nodded.
Everybody continued to eat until they were done with dinner.
"Earth, Earth, Earth, Earth..." Casper said over and over again to help his big brother remember. Hopefully that would help with the test.
After dinner, everyone was soon asleep. Cherry seemed to sleep through dinner and was even still asleep now.
"That's it..." Michelle said firmly.
"Uh, that's what?" Bud frowned to his wife.
"I'm grounding Cherry." Michelle decided.
"What? Why?" Bud asked.
"This adventure thing has gone out of control..." Michelle replied before she stormed off into the linen closet.
"Michelle! Wait!" Bud cried out and frowned. "Oh, dear."
Drell was soon seen looking ready to expect someone angry to come in.
"DRELL!" Michelle yelled.
"Hello, Michelle, what a wonderful evening it is, isn't it?" Drell smiled, not even bothered, though he was actually annoyed on the inside.
"Drell, these adventures are going way out of hand!" Michelle glared.
"I fully agree with you," Drell replied. "What do you say we just move to Alaska?"
Michelle looked at him. "...What?!" she asked.
"I dunno, I heard if you agree with women, they get less angry with you." Drell shrugged.
"What are you talking about? Where did this move to Alaska come from?" Michelle asked.
"I don't know!" Drell replied.
"Let's start over..." Michelle sighed.
"Hi, I'm Drell, nice to meet you, try not to bother me when it's night time." Drell smirked, holding out his hand to mess with her.
"You know that's not what I meant." Michelle said.
"Are you still mad?" Drell asked.
"YES!" Michelle told him, nearly echoing. "Now listen to me! I don't want you to take Cherry on adventures anymore, and she's forbidden to go to the Sorzin Comet field trip."
"Sorry, but you're not in charge of their adventures." Drell told her.
"Too bad, she's not going, and that's final." Michelle replied.
"Ah, you don't wanna talk back to me..." Drell warned her.
"I can and I have!" Michelle replied. "Cherry is grounded until graduation!" She soon saw that Drell was enraged now.
"Heh... Michelle... I should tell you..." Drell chuckled before yelling. "YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF ADVENTURES!" He soon tied her up and threw her back through the linen closet.
"He tied me up!" Michelle complained. "I'm telling Enchantra!"
"Michelle, it's late, let's go to bed." Bud said.
Michelle growled and Bud soon helped his wife to bed.
The next day soon came and Cherry woke up and looked around.
"It's morning... I slept since after school?!" Cherry yelped, and where she knew that would only have one consequence coming. She rushed to get ready for school and soon came out.
The bus soon drove off without her.
"Wait! WAAAIT!" Cherry yelped as she chased after the bus. "Oh, why does everything have to happen to me?!"
As she kept running, Kimba soon came out to help her. Kimba soon ran beside her and carried her before putting her on his back and he ran quite fast.
"Oh... I better have a good day at school today..." Cherry begged. "Please, please, please let me have a good day at school."
Meanwhile with Atticus...
Atticus finished up his breakfast while packing his backpack and went out the door to go to school for the day. "Here I go." Atticus said.
"Have a good day!" Emily smiled.
"Thanks, Mom!" Atticus smiled back as he went to walk to school. He soon got in his car and started it up.
