Cherry still hid in the prop room before yelping as the door opened.

"Cherry... Come on out already..." Thor said as Cherry tried to hide away. "The Music Meister says he needs you've been in here too long."

Cherry hid behind the clothing rack as he came looking for her as she hid so she could try to figure out what the Music Meister was up to.

"Now don't make me use magic on you." Thor said.

Cherry peeked her head out when Thor's back was turned and she began to run off for the door.

Thor glanced over and soon saw the door open and shut. "Cherry!"

Cherry looked around, finding the coast to be clear from the Music Meister and began to sneak around to avoid being seen by the other students who were looking over their new scripts. 'Perfect, now I just have to get out of here without anyone noticing.' Cherry thought to herself. She did her best to stealth around from what Batman had taught her while the students were doing their own thing.

"Cherrryyyyyy~" Thor soon sang, coming out of the prop room. "Come out to plaaaaaay~"

"Eek!" Cherry yelped as she ran out and luckily made it into the hallway. "Phew... That was close," She soon ran off to find and tell the others. "Gotta find somebody! Gotta find somebody!" she told herself as she ran down the hallway.

Rarity and Mo began to sketch some possible designs together as they were all hanging out in the cafeteria as it was still lunch hour.

"Hmm... Has to be something that will perfect for him." Mo hummed.

"He wore a lot of black and yellow when I first met him." Atticus suggested.

"Ooh." Rarity smiled.

"Maybe some of that?" Atticus smiled back.

"Hmm... Yes..." Rarity thought about it. "Might be good colors for him, good or bad."

"And once we meet him in person, we'll get down to measurements." Mo said.

"Sounds good, girls." Atticus smiled out of excitement.

"Eeh!" Rarity squealed out of excitement.

Atticus chuckled a bit to that. The bell soon rang, letting the students leave the cafeteria to get back to class.

"Guys... I'm... Here..." Cherry panted as she came into the cafeteria only to find it empty. "What?! Where did everybody go?"

"Lunchtime is over." Granny Smith told her.

"Oh, come on!" Cherry complained. "I curse Music Meister for this!"

Granny Smith soon went with the other cafeteria workers to clean up.

"I don't suppose you have any more chicken nuggets left?" Cherry asked hopefully.

Granny Smith looked to her and soon gave her a box filled with the leftovers with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, Granny Smith!" Cherry beamed as she accepted the box.

"Don't mention it." Granny Smith smiled.

Cherry soon began to eat her chicken nuggets, beginning to feel much better.

"How can you eat at a time like this?" Cleo asked, crawling up to Cherry's lap.

"Cleo, what are you doing here and not at home?" Cherry asked, petting her cat.

"I had a bad feeling." Cleo said.

"I think you might be right..." Cherry sighed. "The Music Meister is here, and I don't know how to stop him. He's gonna ruin my play!"

"I doubt that's his plan." Cleo said.

"Well, he is." Cherry pouted.

"I think you should try some spy work to find out what's going on." Cleo suggested.

"Agreed," Cherry nodded. "But I'll need to inform the others."

"Please be careful, Cherry." Cleo told her.

"Ah, I'll be fine," Cherry replied. "No harm done."

"Yeah, but-" Cleo said before noticing Cherry's geode missing. "Where's your necklace?"

"The Music Meister took it to make me sing in the auditorium against my will." Cherry sighed in misfortune.

"This is bad." Cleo said.

"Hey, Cleo, how's about you go spying for me?" Cherry suggested, picking up her cat. "I go warn the others, and you report back to me, okay?"

"I guess I could try." Cleo shrugged.

"Great." Cherry said.

Cleo nodded and soon leapt onto the floor and ran off to do some work for Cherry. Cherry soon finished up her chicken nugget lunch and put the box in the trash before going off to class.

"You're late!" Drell glared.

"I know, but-" Cherry said.

"We know, the school play means a lot to you." Drell replied.

"Yeah, but-" Cherry said.

"Please, take your seat," Drell told her. "I don't wanna hear it right now."

"Yes, sir." Cherry groaned.

Drell pointed over to her desk. Cherry soon sat down into it with a sigh as she seemed to be out of luck.

"All right, everyone, your regular teacher has come down with the flu, so that means I'm in charge of..." Drell said before looking at a note that was given to him. "Math... Mat... Ics..." Though, it seemed like this class would be a challenge for him.

"Sir, do you know Math?" Atticus asked.

"Well, of course I do!" Drell replied. "How hard can it be?"

"Very." Cherry mumbled, hiding behind her Math book so she wouldn't get called on.

'This should be interesting.' Sci-Twi thought to herself.

Drell took out the book and did his best to copy the problems on the board for them to solve. "Apparently you all learned this during the week and your teacher wants to see what you remember..." he then said. "Of course, you can use your calculators."

Cherry soon snuck her phone on her lap as she used a Math App to solve the problems on the board.

"Now who wants to go first?" Drell asked.

Cherry sunk in her seat a bit.

"I can see you, Cherry." Drell said to her.

"No, you can't." Cherry replied.

"Yes, I can." Drell smirked.

Cherry let out a small groan as she soon came out of her desk, staring at the board. "I hate you, Math..." she then mumbled.

"I heard that." Drell said.

Cherry sighed as she soon took out her calculator, trying to solve the problem. Thor was shown to be asleep at his desk after failing to stay awake.

"Buddy... Wake up..." Atticus whispered to his best guy friend, trying to get him out of his sleep.

Thor didn't seem to wake up.

"Thor?!" Atticus panicked.

"Strange... Seems like singing doesn't happen whenever we're out of the auditorium..." Cherry said to herself.

"How's that Math problem coming, Cherry?" Drell asked.

"Uh! I just remembered! I have to go to the bathroom!" Cherry smiled nervously.

"Seriously?" Drell asked.

"Uh, yeah, I have to go suddenly... Heh..." Cherry smiled nervously.

Drell soon looked down at her as he came to her. "Hold it."

Cherry bit her lip as she soon looked back at the math problem.

"Now answer the math problem." Drell told her.

"I really don't want to..." Cherry soon cried.

Atticus cleared his throat, making her glance to him and he soon twiddled his thumbs a bit before he seemed to be signing some numbers to help her out so she wouldn't embarrass herself in front of the whole class as Cassandra, Tiffany, and Margo seemed to giggle at her. Cherry soon sighed as she knew she could count on Atticus to help her out.

"There, now was that so hard?" Drell asked Cherry.

"I'm not sure what was more heart pounding," Cherry sighed. "Solving that Math problem or having YOU watch me."

"Now, back to your seat." Drell told her.

Cherry soon rushed back to her seat, sitting up with an innocent smile, then stuck out her tongue at Cassandra, Tiffany, and Margo before looking back to the board with an innocent smile. Cassandra, Tiffany, and Margo simply glared.

Eventually, it was the end of the school day.

"I can't wait to tell Mark the good news!" Atticus beamed to himself.

Atticus and Patch soon rushed to his car.

"Atticus, is Mark gonna live with us forever?" Patch asked.

"Hmm... I dunno about forever, but he's pretty cool so far." Atticus smiled.

Mo and the girls soon left the school next. Cherry soon came out of school, looking around to get to her friends before they would leave school grounds.

"Think you might wanna work on a design at SugarCube Corner?" Mo smiled to Rarity.

"Of course, darling." Rarity smiled back.

"Oh, this is so exciting," Mo beamed. "I'm happy for you, Atticus."

"Thanks, guys," Atticus smiled. "I feel like this is going to be a bright new world for Mark, Formerly Known as Nuclear Man... Man, I hope I stop getting used to that."

"Don't worry, it's only been a couple of days, soon you'll just call him Mark." Mo soothed.

"Yeah." Pinkie Pie smiled.

Atticus smiled to them as they went home for a little bit and decided to meet up later on once they would have more ideas.

"Guys! Wait!" Cherry called out.

The others soon looked over.

"Finally... Caught up..." Cherry panted. "Guys... We need to talk..."

"Don't tell us, it's about the play." Pinkie Pie guessed.

"Well, yeah, but this is an emergency!" Cherry told them.

"What is it, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Okay... Just please... Listen to me..." Cherry told them. "The Music Meister is on the loose!"

"What?!" Atticus asked. "Where is he?!"

"He's... Taken over... The Drama Department..." Cherry panted from her running. "I don't know what he's doing, but he's turning MY production of Beauty and the Beast into a musical!"

"He's up to something, but what?" Atticus said.

"What did he do when you were in Gotham with Batman?" Mo asked.

"He was using his music to control people and take over the world." Cherry explained.

"Could that be his plan?" Patch asked.

"Well, I guess!" Cherry replied. "Cleo's doing some spy work for me though."

"Great! Who's Cleo?" Pinkie Pie smiled.

"My cat." Cherry replied.

"Oooohh... Kitty..." Pinkie Pie smiled. "Maybe she and Rarity's cats can become friends."

"Uh, yeah, sure." Cherry said.

"Well, you're probably gonna have to wait for Cleo to come back, because right now, I gotta tell Mark some good news." Atticus said to her.

"Okay." Cherry shrugged.

Atticus patted her on the head before smiling. "Wanna come over for a little bit?"

"Eh... I guess," Cherry replied. "It's been a while, plus I could use a break from this insanity from my play."

"WHOSE play is it?" Atticus asked with his hands on his hips, firmly.

"Erm... The school's play." Cherry then said.

"That's better." Atticus nodded.

"Well, it IS my play anyway," Cherry mumbled a bit. "I came up with it and the script and-"

Atticus soon took her into the car to drive off back home.

"It smells like dog in here." Cherry muffled.

"Ahem!" Patch smirked.

"Oh, yeah..." Cherry rolled her eyes as she sat up and buckled her seat-belt. "Duh."

"We'll see you at SugarCube Corner in a little bit, guys!" Atticus smiled to their friends.

"See you there!" The others called back.

"And away we go!" Patch cheered.

"Seriously, Atticus, wash this thing." Cherry stuck her tongue out from the dog smell.

Mark was soon seen watching TV with Emily as she folded laundry on the living room couch. Atticus soon parked his car in front of the house. Atticus, Patch, and Cherry soon came into the house.

"Luckily there's not a lot of homework today." Atticus smiled.

"Yeah." Patch beamed.

"Mom?" Atticus called.

"Living room, dear." Emily said as she continued to fold laundry.

Once in the living room, they saw Mark in the living room as well.

"Talk show?" Cherry asked.

"Yes," Emily smiled. "How was school?"

"Oh, great!" Atticus smiled back. "Mark, we might be able to get you a new outfit to become a superhero rather than a villain."

"That's great!" Mark beamed.

"Yeah, we're gonna go over some designs in SugarCube Corner." Atticus smiled back.

"Oh, is that that little hangout spot?" Mark asked.

"Yeah," Cherry replied. "We usually go there after school to hang out or do homework together."

"Great to know." Mark said.

"Trust me, Mark, this is gonna be amazing," Atticus smiled. "We've got Rarity and Mo."

"Mo knows about fashion, huh?" Emily asked.

"She's getting there." Atticus smiled.

"When can we leave?" Mark asked.

"In a few minutes, I gotta put my stuff away," Atticus smiled as he went to his bedroom. "This is so exciting, isn't it, Cherry?"

"Are you forgetting that I HAVE A CRISIS WITH THE PLAY?!" Cherry flipped out.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it soon." Atticus assured her.

Cherry let out a small groan, feeling frustrated.

"Just relax, Cherry, he's not hurting anyone now." Atticus told her as he got his stuff put away to do his homework later on.

"True, he's just RUINING THE SCHOOL PLAY!" Cherry exclaimed.

"We'll worry about that later," Atticus said. "We gotta help Mark first."

"You're not listening to me!" Cherry cried out.

"Cherry, I promised Mark I would help him, okay?" Atticus told her. "He wants to be a good guy from now on, okay? We'll worry about the Music Meister later."

"Ugh!" Cherry complained before calming down. "You're right, it's just a play."

"Take a breath." Atticus said.

Cherry took a deep breath.

"Let it out slowly..." Atticus said.

Cherry then exhaled before taking a glass of water that Patch brought for her and soon drank it.

"Better?" Atticus asked.

"I guess so..." Cherry sighed.

"Have you tried calling Batman?" Patch asked.

"He and Selina are busy right now." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"What about Robin?" Patch asked.

"Too busy with the other Teen Titans." Cherry said.

"Batgirl?" Atticus asked.

"Mid-Terms." Cherry said.

"Dang it." Patch groaned.

Cherry let out a sigh.

"Well, how about if Saiya Man helps?" Atticus smirked.

"You don't think he'll be too busy, do you?" Cherry smirked back.

"Not at all." Atticus smirked back.

Suddenly, Cherry got a text from Mo which seemed to have a panicking emoji face. "'Help, my parents have to go out of town for our Parent Teacher Evening in school before the play, and I don't wanna take Aunt Sarah, what should I do?'."

Atticus shrugged. "Take Timber Spruce and Gloriosa?"

Cherry then texted that back as a suggestion.

"Maybe that will work." Patch said.

"Where are James and Elizabeth going?" Atticus asked.

"Ah, a friend of theirs needs help with something," Cherry replied. "They're very sorry they won't make the Parent Teacher Evening though. Hopefully Timber Spruce and Gloriosa will do."

"Hopefully." Atticus nodded.

Eventually, they came back downstairs to go back to the car.

"To SugarCube Corner!" Atticus and Patch beamed.

"Away we go!" Mark added.

They soon rode off down to SugarCube Corner which was where almost everyone in school was in.
