Mo was babysitting Junior for the day and she had Cherry and Atticus come over so they could all be entertained and have fun together. Junior was being very fussy, he had just ate, he was just changed, but he was being difficult about getting to sleep for his nap. "You guys know any stories?" she asked her friends as her adoptive baby brother was being extremely agitated this afternoon.
"What about one of our adventures?" Atticus asked.
"Huh?" Junior stopped crying for a moment, but his eyes were stained with his fussy tears.
"I think that'll work..." Mo said. "Pick an adventure! Any adventure!"
"Uhh... Umm... Well..." Cherry stammered.
"Maybe one before I came along?" Mo suggested. "Like when it was just the two of you?"
"Well, I remember this one time when I had a strong feeling that my parents were still alive and we decided to leave the orphanage and travel to find them..." Cherry shrugged. "We ended up in this strange amusement park that had actual living and breathing dinosaurs..."
"Dine-Sawr..." Junior seemed to smile at that, a lot of young boys his age loved dinosaurs.
"Ohh, yeah, we've never told you that adventure, have we?" Atticus asked with a smile.
"Actual living and breathing dinosaurs?" Mo asked as she put Junior on the floor on top of his mat. She then leaned in and whispered. "That's not true, is it? You're just making stuff up, right?"
"No." Cherry and Atticus said.
"Really?" Mo folded her arms. "Do tell..."
"We might as well tell them, besides, that was also a near-death experience." Atticus said.
"Yikes..." Mo's face paled. "Please start..."
Cherry nodded. "It was after Cinderella and the Prince came back from their honeymoon... We had adventures with Cinderella adjusting to becoming a princess, but this was when we decided to move on..."
We are shown the castle, Cherry was staring out the window as she looked to see a shining star at night which made her think of wishing upon a star.
"Cherry, Cherry, why you awake?" Jaq asked as he climbed up the window sill with Gus.
"Yeah, it's late!" Gus added.
"This place is nice and all, but I think I should leave," Cherry told the mice. "My parents have to be out there somewhere... Something deep inside my heart is telling me they're alive and just waiting for me... I think I should look for them."
"But Cherry, how you find them by yourself?" Jaq asked. "Shouldn't you take someone with you?"
"No offense, guys, but I'm not sure if you could go with me..." Cherry warned. "Besides, you've known Cinderella longer than I have... She needs you guys..."
Jaq and Gus agreed with her there.
Cherry then thought of someone to maybe help her. "Atticus..." she whispered once she thought of the one to come with her for maybe security.
As if on cue, there was a knocking at the door.
"Cherry, you awake?" Atticus voice whispered from the other side of the door.
Cherry ran to the door and opened it.
"Should've known you were, you barely sleep..." Atticus remarked.
"Hey, you wanna get out of here?" Cherry asked, prompting her quest to him.
"You know what? Yeah," Atticus said. "Don't get me wrong, this castle is great and all, but I can't help feeling there's more out there."
"I have the same feeling..." Cherry said. "I feel like my parents might still be alive..."
"Really?" Atticus asked. "How can you be sure?"
"I just know it in my heart." Cherry said.
"Okay then, let's pack and get going, but of course, leave a note for Cinderella." Atticus said.
"Of course..." Cherry agreed. "I don't know where we're gonna go, but we have to..."
Atticus agreed.
With that, they went their separate ways for now and started to pack up while Cinderella, the Prince, and everybody else in the castle was fast asleep, blissfully unaware of what was going on. After a while, they both got out of the castle through one of the windows.
"Goodbye, Cinderella..." Cherry whispered. "You and the prince can live happily ever after... We'll see you again someday!"
Cherry and Atticus then left the castle grounds and started to explore.
There was a train whistle heard and a train was stopping for now. Cherry and Atticus then snuck into one of the boxcars since they obviously didn't have tickets and they went inside of it and got comfortable until it would move again and take them to wherever the train would go.
"Looks like we might be in for an adventure." Atticus said.
The train whistle was heard and the train started to move with them.
"It's still pretty late, might as well get some rest." Cherry suggested.
"Yeah, we'll get off at the next stop." Atticus said before going to sleep.
Cherry nodded, agreeing with a yawn. "Night..."
"Good night..." Atticus added as they fell asleep on the ride to wherever they were headed.
"So, where did you guys end up?" Mo asked.
Junior looked really excited, really wanting to know as well.
Atticus smiled at that. "We ended up close to outside of the park, we were about there, but the train stopped a bunch of miles away from it..." he explained. "We ran into someone on the way."
"Who?" Mo asked.
"The founder CEO's grandchildren," Cherry explained. "They came for a tour of the park and we bumped into each other as they were stretching their legs before going their way to meet their grandfather."
"Cool." Mo smiled.
"Yeah, the train stopped sooner than we thought..." Cherry shrugged. "Might be because of the schedule or that we slept, but either way..."
We all see that the train stops at a train station after traveling for a while. Cherry and Atticus blinked and slowly woke up from this, then yawned to each other and muttered out greetings to each other.
"Are we in a new place?" Cherry asked.
Atticus poked his head out. "It looks like the train station..."
"I guess that's close enough..." Cherry mumbled.
"Hey!" a voice called to show an adult man glaring at the two with his hands on his hips. "You kids aren't supposed to be here! I'm gonna call the cops!"
"Um, sir, I can explain of why we're here." Atticus said nervously.
"Go on now, get!" the man sounded very disinterested.
"RUN!" Cherry called to Atticus.
The two kids then jumped out of the boxcar and ran as the man growled and chased after them.
"You crazy kids!" the man hissed.
"What is with that man?!" Atticus glared.
"I have no idea!" Cherry called as they ran.
"GET BACK HERE!" the man growled.
