At the Plaza Hotel...
"Okay, deary, you be a good little girl while I'm gone," Nanny hugged Eloise nice and tight. "Say hello to your cousins, aunts, and uncles for me, now I must move, move, move."
"Bye, Nanny, I love you." Eloise hugged her nanny back.
"And don't worry, everything will be just fine." Ditto said.
Nanny kissed Eloise's forehead and then went off. Eloise then waited in the lobby for her 'temporary nanny' to arrive like around the time of Spring as she sat and waited with her Pokemon. She then had him try out being different forms with people from the hotel to make her laugh.
"So, who shall I be today?" Ditto asked.
"Do Prunella." Eloise giggled to her Ditto.
Ditto nodded before transforming into Prunella. Eloise giggled.
"Blah, blah, blah, blah." Ditto imitated the snooty and strict woman event coordinator of the hotel.
Eloise continued to giggle at this. Ditto laughed himself and then morphed back to his original form.
"So, who's going to be the replacement?" Ditto asked.
"Mother said it was one of Uncle Atticus's old friends..." Eloise shrugged. "I hope it isn't like that time Rachel's friend Nicole stole Bill from us."
"Same here." Ditto said.
Eloise gently pet him.
Drell came into the hotel and came to see Miss Thompson so he could find Eloise. "Excuse me, do you know where Eloise is?" The warlock asked.
"Yep, she's right over there, sir." Miss Thompson replied and pointed to one of the couches where the 'Plaza's princess' was waiting for him.
Drell nodded to her and came up to the little blonde girl. "You must be Eloise."
"That's me." Eloise smiled.
"Great, uh, where's your stuff?" Drell asked.
"Bill!" Eloise called out to her favorite Plaza Hotel employee.
Bill came over with a luggage carrier that had several bags packed for the little girl.
"Wow." Drell said.
"Need a hand, sir?" Bill asked.
"No, no, I got it." Drell promised.
Charlie smiled as he got the door for Eloise.
"Bill, you promise to keep an eye on Skipperdee?" Eloise asked as Weenie was in her arms then.
"Of course, Skipperdee's family." Bill smiled to her.
"Aw!" Eloise smiled.
Bill patted her on the head.
"Goodbye, goodbye, I'll be back soon!" Eloise waved as she went out the hotel doors and left with Drell.
"Why do you and your nanny always say one word twice?" Drell asked.
"You mean why does Nanny say things three times?" Eloise asked the warlock.
"Yes." Drell nodded.
"Because she does." Eloise said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Drell looked curious, but he guessed he would just have to take her word for it.
"Good luck," Mr. Salamone said to the warlock. "You're gonna need it."
"Oh, how bad could she be?" Drell shrugged.
"You'll find out soon." Mr. Salamone said.
Drell shrugged again and then left the hotel with Eloise. Once they were at a good spot and made sure no one else was watching.
"Okay, take out the brooch your mother gave you." Drell then told Eloise.
The girl nodded and took out the brooch and was sent to where her cousins were so they could go to Birdwell Island all together.
"And away we go." Drell said.
They then disappeared from Fifth Avenue and were now transported as the others were on a ferry that was going to Birdwell Island.
"I haven't seen my sister since we lived in the kennel." Georgette was very excited which made Oliver happy because she was happy.
"I can't wait to meet her." Oliver smiled.
"Me neither!" Kiki beamed since she was going to meet her aunt for the first time.
"Now, I expect you to be on your best behavior, dear." Georgette reminded her daughter.
"Si, Mother." Kiki nodded to her mother with a smile.
"I'm sure she'll be on her best behavior." Oliver smiled.
"Thanks, Uncle Oliver." Kiki said.
Oliver chuckled. "Uncle Oliver, I like the sound of that."
Vincent held Jenny by her waist as they both looked out from the end of the ferry.
"I'm King of the World!" Vincent laughed.
"Sure, but in what way?" Akito smirked.
Vincent glanced while Akito just laughed at him.
"Thanks for letting me come too, guys," Eloise smiled. "Weenie really appreciates it."
"No problem, Eloise." Estelle smiled back.
Felicity took deep breaths. "Are we almost at the docks?"
"Almost there." Mismagius said.
Felicity took a deep breath. "I hope it's soon..."
"Don't worry." Atticus said.
"Oui, Uncle Atticus..." Felicity sighed.
Soon enough, the boat docked and the foghorn blared. Once the steps were brought out, everyone came off of the ferry to meet the residents of Birdwell Island who were there to greet their new and old friends.
"I hope we get to meet this big red dog Dad told us about." Akito smiled.
"Gros chien rouge?" Felicity repeated in curiosity.
"Huh?" Scruffy asked out of confusion.
The ferry docked which allowed the visitors to come out on the docks. There was a dark-skinned woman with her own poodle who had a red bow in her head with a black collar.
"Georgette!" the poodle beamed.
"Cleo!" Georgette smiled back to this poodle.
The two poodles soon rushed over to each other. Once they reunited together, they gave each other hugs. Kiki yipped and ran to her mother's side as the two poodles were in tight and warm embrace as it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
"It's been so long since I've seen you, sis." Cleo smiled.
"I'll say." Georgette smiled.
Kiki yipped up and jumped and down excitedly.
"This is your niece Kiki." Georgette introduced.
"Aw! She's so adorable." Cleo smiled.
Kiki smiled up to her aunt.'
"What do you say?" Georgette prompted.
"Gracias, Aunt Cleo." Kiki replied.
"Oh, she speaks Spanish?" Cleo noticed.
"She gets that from her father." Georgette replied.
"Oh, and where is her father?" Cleo asked.
"He couldn't make it, he and his friends had other business to attend to, but we'll keep in touch," Georgette promised. "Oh, Alonzo~"
Cleo rolled her eyes slightly.
"Ooh, what fur conditioner do you use?" Georgette asked. "It looks divine!"
"You want it?" Cleo grumbled. "I hate taking baths."
"Really?" Georgette smiled. "Because I love taking baths."
Cleo stuck her tongue out in mild disgust.
"Oh, and what about being in Dog Shows?" Georgette gushed. "I'm often a shoe in!"
"Are you sure we're sisters?" Cleo glanced.
"Yes, we're sisters." Georgette smiled.
"Hmm..." Cleo hummed about that.
"Oh, did you make a new friend, baby?" Mrs. Diller smiled to her poodle.
"I wonder if there are any cats on this island?" Oliver smiled as he got on the dock.
"I'm sure there are, Oliver." Jenny said as she walked with him and Vincent held her hand.
"So, where are we going to be staying?" Dot asked.
"I'm sure there's a hotel close by." Estelle said to her puppy.
"Great." Dot smiled.
Estelle smiled back. Dot looked all around as they saw various other dogs along with the kind folks of Birdwell Island. They all soon felt the ground shake as if something really big was coming.
"Whoa!" the others yelped.
"Cleo, what is that?!" Georgette panicked.
Cleo giggled. "Here comes Clifford!"
"Who's Clifford?" The rest of the pets and Pokémon asked.
"See for yourself." Cleo smiled.
The visitors looked up in surprise to see a very large red dog who smiled down to them. Teddy hid behind Estelle nervously and shivered.
"It's okay, Teddy, it's okay..." Estelle soothed her Teddiursa.
"H-He's real." Larvitar smiled.
Atticus looked satisfied with himself as Clifford the Big Red Dog appeared before them.
"Heya, Big Guy." Cleo smiled to her friend while Georgette looked simply jaw-dropped.
"Wow..." Oliver said, jaw-dropped.
The dog barked.
"Whoa!" Cherry put her hands over her ears and looked like she had a bad earache. "Wow... That was loud..."
Felicity giggled as she seemed to like Clifford so far. Akito seemed to already like Clifford as he seemed like a nice dog. Clifford smiled down to the visitors.
"Whoa..." Mo muttered. "And I thought Mooch was big."
"That sheepdog?" Atticus replied. "Yeah. Um, do you know the way to a hotel, boy?" He then asked.
"Sure!" Clifford barked, he then lowered himself down and allowed them to ride on his back.
"This is so cool." Scruffy smiled.
The humans then came aboard with their pets and Pokemon.
Drell seemed a little nervous about being this high. "Um... Giddy up?" he nervously told Clifford once they were now in the air after he stood up on all fours with them on his back.
"This is so awesome." Akito smiled.
Clifford then moved with them to take them to the island's hotel for their temporary stay. Drell seemed rather anxious to be this high.
"Whee, this is even better than the carnival!" Eloise cheered with a laugh.
"It's better then going on a roller-coaster!" Estelle cheered.
"Maman, this is the best!" Felicity beamed.
Cherry hid a small smile at her daughter's happiness.
"This is the best day ever!" Dot cheered.
Drell looked a little nervous.
Eventually, they made it to a hotel and Clifford dropped them off.
Drell shuddered nervously. "You don't think tht was a bit too much, do you, Cherry?"
Cherry stoically glanced at him and walked with the others to check in to the hotel.
"Really? Just me?" Drell asked. "Well, at least hopefully this hotel will have enough rooms for us."
But unfortunately, the hotel didn't seem to have enough rooms for all of them just for one.
Eloise sat on the counter and kicked her legs back and forth as she looked around this hotel and saw what it had to offer as Atticus rang the front desk bell.
"Yes, sir?" The concierge asked.
"We'd like to stay here please," Atticus told the concierge. "You have rooms for a bunch of us?"
The concierge looked over and his eyes widened to see how many people were in line. "Are you all together?"
"Yes, sir." Atticus nodded.
"Hi, I'm Eloise, I'm six," Eloise smiled to the concierge. "You seem nicer than Mr. Salamone."
"Well, I'm sorry, but the only room we have available is one for a small family." The concierge said.
"Surely you can work something out." Mo said.
"I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you," the concierge shrugged with a small smirk. "Tough luck."
"Well, maybe we can ask someone if we can stay with them for two weeks?" Estelle suggested.
"Who's gonna fit us all, Baby Atticus the Second?" Cherry asked her niece.
"Not all of us, but maybe some of us while the rest find another house to stay for the two weeks as well." Estelle said.
"It's the best we can do." Drell had to agree.
Eloise found a luggage cart and started to play with it like she would do at the Plaza.
"Oh, hey, stop that, Eloise!" Drell scolded her.
"Young lady, that is not to be played with!" The concierge added.
Eloise giggled until Cherry pulled her off and put her on the floor.
"Stop that," Cherry scolded. "This isn't the Plaza."
"What do you mean?" Eloise asked.
"Um, how do I say this nicely?" Cherry struggled. "You're kinda spoiled at the Plaza and you get away with everything because everybody loves your mother and nanny so much."
"Oh..." Eloise said.
"Can we go and find a place to stay now?" Larvitar asked.
"Yeah, come on, I'm sure some people won't mind some guests." Akito said as he held his Larvitar close so he wouldn't get lost.
And so, they started to look for anyone with a house willing to accept some people with no place to stay. It seemed to take quite a bit of time. While the kids waited while their parents talked, they just sat together and hung out. Weenie's left ear went up as he overheard something and walked toward it.
"Where are you going, Weenie?" Eloise asked.
"I think he smells or hears something." Felicity suggested.
"Let's follow him." Akito said.
"What about the grown-ups?" Jenny asked in concern about leaving while the adults did their work.
"We'll be back before they even notice us gone." Akito said.
"Okay..." Jenny said as she then stood up. "Come on, Oliver."
"Coming, Georgette?" Oliver looked to his 'sister'.
Georgette smiled at the sights of Birdwell Island as she caught up with Cleo.
"Eh, she'll catch up." Oliver shrugged and followed the others.
"Where could Weenie be going?" Dot asked.
