"Those must be the parents." Atticus said.

Mo knocked on the door.

The woman of the house then got the door and smiled. "Oh, Monique, good to see you."

"Hello, ma'am," Mo smiled back. "I hope you don't mind, but I brought my little brother and my boyfriend and a few others."

"Not at all, come right in." the woman told her.

Gus was begging and pleading to go to Central Park, but the parents were too busy.

"Hillary, have you seen my briefcase?" Alan called to his wife.

"In your hand, dear!" Hillary called back as she let the others inside her home.

"Wow, this place looks nice." Patch whispered.

"Yeah, it's so high class..." Atticus agreed as they looked all around.

"I could throw an awesome party here." Cherry said.

"No." Atticus and Patch glared.

"Don't worry, I won't." Cherry told them.

"Good luck on your trial, sir." Mo told Alan.

"Thank you, Monique, I hope that it works..." Alan agreed as he was stressed from his work so far.

"Hmm... Plaid or striped?" Hillary looked to two different fabrics to decide what to bring along for the trip.

Patch sniffed the ground and poked his head into a room to see a young boy and a toddler girl together.

"Need any help, ma'am?" Mo asked.

"Which do you like better, dear?" Hillary showed. "The plaid or the striped?"

"Hmm..." Mo hummed as she looked at both fabrics and then at Hillary before choosing plaid.

Hillary smiled at the choice and decided to go with it. Mo smiled back at that. Patch watched the boy and girl in the room.

"And then, Dad and me are gonna sail my boat and eat ice cream and I'm having double chocolate-" the boy said before glaring to his little sister once he saw she had his controller. "Hey! Rosie, don't touch that! Only me and Dad get to go."

"He doesn't seem to be nice to his sister." Patch whispered.

"Go go?" Rosie babbled.

"No, Rosie, you stay here, this is just for me and Dad!" Gus replied as he picked up his toy sailboat and went out the door to meet his father.


Junior poked his head in the room and smiled softly to Rosie. "Hi, Rosie." he smiled.

"JJ," Rosie smiled back, using Mo's nickname for him. "What're you doing here?" he asked. "Daddy and Gus are going to the park today."

"Change of plans," Junior came over to his secret crush. "Momo's gonna babysit while your dad goes to a meeting with your mom."

"Uh-oh, Gus isn't going to like that." Rosie said.

"I know..." Junior frowned.

Rosie then tried to stand up while grabbing onto her brother's bed in their shared bedroom.

"You're getting better..." Junior smiled to that.

"Thanks." Rosie smiled.

Junior blushed to her smile.

Gus ran out the door as Alan was looking for his shoe now. "Hey, Dad, ready to go?" he asked excitedly.

"Are you looking for these, sir?" Atticus asked as he had found Alan's shoes.

"Ah, yes, thank you." Alan took them with a smile.

"Dad, you promised to take me to the park!" Gus reminded.

"Oh, you know I have an important case to prepare for," Alan replied apologetically. "The park will have to come later."

"Later, later, later, it always has to be later!" Gus complained. "Why can't we ever do what I wanna do?! I WANNA DO WHAT I WANNA DO!"

'Yikes, he seems to act a bit spoiled.' Atticus thought to himself.

"See you all tonight." Alan said as he went out the front door.

"Your father works very hard to make our lives nice, children," Hillary smiled. "You have to learn to appreciate that."

"Hey, Mom, will you take us to sail my boat?" Gus asked.

"Oh, Gus, honey, I have an open house on Park Avenue today," Hillary kissed his forehead and took his hands. "But Monique is here to help Maria."

"And I'll be happy to take you to sail your boat, Gus." Atticus said.

Hillary then went out the door after her husband.

"Aw, who needs 'em anyhow?" Gus sulked.

"Come on, let's get you guys ready for the park while Maria cleans up." Mo told the kids.

"Yeah." Cherry said.

Rosie took a doll she wanted to bring with her and her milk bottle and they were then going out the front door while Maria cleaned up the house. Patch began to smell for the park.

Atticus put the leash on his puppy and then walked with him. "Come on, boy."

Patch soon led the way to the park. Atticus followed as he held Patch's leash.

"Stay close, guys." Mo warned Gus and Rosie.

"Yeah, we don't want to get lost." Junior said.


Mo then took Junior's hand when they crossed the street once the sign said 'WALK'.

"Here we go." Cherry said.

Patch kept sniffing around to find the park.

"You're so cool, Mo, unlike Mom and Dad." Gus scoffed.

"Oh, Gus, your parents are just busy..." Mo sighed to the young boy.

"Yeah, their jobs just can get in the way." Atticus said.

"Hmph." Gus still sulked as they were finally going to the park.

"He doesn't seem very patient." Cherry said.

Rosie giggled as she rode in the wagon with Gus's sailboat. Junior then decided to get a balloon for Rosie, but he lifted off the ground due to the many balloons filled with helium and Rosie grabbed onto him to help him down, only to float along with him.

"Rosie?" Gus panicked once he didn't see his little sister in her wagon, then looked up to the sky in a panic. "ROSIE!"

"I guess I grabbed too many." Junior smiled nervously.

Mo then grabbed the two toddlers. "Okay, that's enough flying for one day."

Junior chuckled sheepishly while Rosie giggled.

"I think one balloon is good enough." Mo said.

"Sorry, Momo." Junior replied.

Atticus then gave a pink heart-shaped balloon for Junior and Rosie to share and where Junior blushed as he already knew why Atticus chose that one. Rosie smiled to Junior. Junior smiled back at her. Gus got near the water and put his sailboat inside. Patch started to sniff the boat.

"Boat!" Rosie cooed as she played with her brother's controller.

"Um, Rosie, I don't think Gus wants you to play with his controller." Atticus said.

The boat then went off from the controller.

Gus glared at his sister. "Rosie!" he then walked over and roughly took the controller out of his sister's hands.

"You didn't have to be so rough." Atticus said.

Rosie and Junior were then distracted by a butterfly as Gus took his controller back.

"You know, Gus, you could be nicer to your little sister." Mo said in a firm tone.

Patch nodded firmly. Gus was distracted by playing with his sailboat as Rosie and Junior chased after the butterfly.

Mo sighed as Gus was ignoring his little sister. "I didn't think I'd like having a little brother, but he's one of my best friends."

Patch decided to follow Rosie and Junior.

"Butterfly." Rosie cooed.

"Sure is pretty." Junior smiled.

Rosie smiled back to Junior. They continued to follow the butterfly, unaware of where they were going.

"Gus, you really should be nicer to your little sister, she looks up to you..." Mo frowned.

"Stop telling me what to do!" Gus glared at her.

Mo simply sighed before looking to see where Rosie and Junior were.


Cherry was listening to her music and lazily nodding to the beat.

"Cherry, where are the kids?" Mo asked.

"They're not here?" Cherry's eyes widened.

"I thought they were right here." Atticus said.

Mo yelled out in dismay.

"C-Calm down, Mo, I'm sure they couldn't have gone too far..." Cherry said nervously.

"They could be anywhere!" Mo exclaimed.

"Calm down." Atticus tried.

"How can I calm down when there are toddlers loose in the big city?!" Mo shook him.

"Where's Patch?" Cherry asked.

"Oh, no, now Patch is loose!" Mo panicked.

"Chill out!" Cherry told her. "I'm sure everything is okay if Patch is with them, he's not like other dogs."

"She's right." Atticus said.

Mo groaned and looked sick like an overly worried mother.

"Wow, Mo, I've never seen you act like this before..." Atticus got concerned. "Come on, let's go find them."


Rosie and Junior giggled as they chased after the butterfly under the bridge and Patch was going to make sure they wouldn't get hurt.

"Where is this butterfly taking us?" Patch whispered.

Rosie dropped her doll by a passing squirrel. The squirrel looked nervous as Patch was there to pick up the doll to give it back to Rosie.

"Um, hi." Patch greeted.

The squirrel backed up nervously. "Take it easy, man..."

"Don't worry, I won't chase you," Patch promised. "Have you seen a couple of two-year-olds come by here?"

"I actually did." The squirrel nodded.

"Oh, thank goodness..." Patch said.

"They went that way." the squirrel pointed as someone was coming out from a hole in the bridge.

"Who's that?" Patch asked.

"Who's who?" the squirrel asked.

Patch pointed to the hands coming up from the bridge hole.

"Ohh..." The squirrel said. "I don't know, he just came from out of the sky."

"He came out of the sky...?" Patch replied.

The figure then came out and looked like something that Patch had never seen before except maybe in storybooks. The figure then smiled to Patch and the squirrel and gave a friendly wave.
