Atticus, Patch, and Babe soon woke up and where Paul and Cherry were still asleep. Babe smirked as Paul overslept and moved his tail to wake him up. Atticus smirked as well as he helped with getting Paul up while letting Cherry sleep. Babe soon made his tail into like a fist and punched the man in the face.
"Say, what's the big idea?!" Paul snapped. "Ya big blue ox!"
Babe licked Paul's face like a playful dog and even stood up and jumped to get him awake.
"Come on, Paul, get up." Atticus smirked playfully.
Babe held down Paul and began to lick his face like when a dog would miss his master, and where Paul soon got Babe off of him. Babe soon charged against Paul and the two began to do some roughhousing that only a guy and his pet would do. Atticus and Patch smiled to this as it made them think of their times together. Babe and Paul soon smirked as they charged and tackled Atticus and Patch.
Atticus and Patch were surprised, but laughed as they had fun. Cherry groaned as she turned over and pulled her blanket over her to tune out the sound so she could sleep. Atticus was roughhousing/wrestling with Paul while Patch roughhoused with Babe. Cherry groaned as she then got up and couldn't sleep anymore.
"Oh, hey, Cherry, how'd you sleep?" Atticus laughed.
"Fine..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
Atticus smiled before he got playfully tackled from behind by Paul. Cherry winced at that.
"Oh, you're going down!" Atticus laughed as he challenged against Paul.
The two of them continued to wrestle until it was a tie and they had made their own mountains.
"What is going on here?!" Cherry asked herself.
"Isn't it obvious?" Patch smiled to her. "We're making history!"
"T-That was a great match." Paul panted.
"Yeah, you weren't too bad yourself," Atticus smiled. "How'd it go with you and Babe, Patch?"
Patch smiled up to Atticus as he had a lot of fun with Babe.
"Is it time to move on then?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah, but first, let's wash up." Paul said.
"Moo!" Babe agreed with a nod.
Atticus soon gave Paul a boost up to where there was plenty of water.
"Hey, Atticus, don't look down!" Cherry teased.
Atticus didn't look down at all and where Paul soon got a huge rock free to let the water flow.
"Hey, Atticus, how's the weather up there?" Cherry chuckled.
"Why don't you shut up?" Atticus grumbled.
Cherry laughed. "What's up?"
"Shut up!" Atticus told her since she was being mean.
Cherry just kept laughing since she wasn't up there. Her laughter was cut short as the water hit her. Atticus then laughed at her. Cherry poked her head out and spit out the water.
Atticus laughed as he swam through the water, passing her. "Hey, Cherry, you wanna go for a swim?"
Cherry punched the water in front of him, splashing his face.
"I'll take that as a no." Atticus smirked.
"If you weren't part merman, I'd drown you." Cherry glared.
"Nyah." Atticus smirked.
They soon came out of the water and continued on, and where what would happen next would slightly change the future, but also wouldn't.
"Where to next, Paul?" Atticus smiled.
"That there forest." Paul said.
They then went off to the forest to continue their journey away from home, and they soon heard a sawing noise, but not the good kind. Patch's ear went up.
"You hear that too, boy?" Atticus asked.
Patch nodded. They soon saw what was making the sound as they saw a man with an electric saw. Cherry soon had a disturbed feeling about certain trees getting cut down. Paul soon stopped the machine with one finger. Cherry breathed in relief.
"Man, Ferngully really messed you up." Atticus commented.
"You could've come too, ya know." Cherry defended, maybe then he would understand why she suddenly cared about trees.
"Maybe next time." Atticus said.
Cherry blew a raspberry.
"Anyway, nice job, Paul." Atticus said before wiping his eyes from Cherry's spit.
"Thanks." Paul smiled before glaring at the man with the electric saw.
"Ooh, I see someone wants to buy the latest invention known to man." The man smiled, though he appeared to be sleazy.
"Who are you, and what is this thing?" Atticus asked the man, acting like he didn't know.
"Me? I'm Joe Muffaw," The man smiled and tipped his hat to the company. "And this thing is the latest model of the handy dandy steam saw! Now, if you folks will just step aside, I'd like to cut this tree down."
"Yeah... No." Cherry said.
The tree soon came right down after a few more strikes. Joe blew the sod off from the saw into Paul's face which made him cough.
"Hey!" Atticus glared at Joe.
"Up here we cut timber with a big axe like this one!" Paul told Joe before showing his axe. "And we go with a big ox like that one!"
Babe is soon shown. He looked ready to charge and fight up against Joe since he disturbed Paul.
"Now, you all gotta get with the times," Joe smirked innocently. "Become modern!"
"Sometimes people want both modern and the same way they have been doing things." Atticus said.
"What's that train?" Cherry asked.
"That is our new invention as well, little lady," Joe told her. "With this steam saw and that engine, I can cut more timber than your friend and that blue ox can ever cut! Now, why don't you put on a nice clean dress and go back in the kitchen with your mommy?"
That was the last straw as Cherry glared at him.
"Listen, buddy, I don't care who you are, but you are not getting away with this, and secondly, being sexist to my best friend!" Atticus glared.
Joe didn't seem to take what Atticus said seriously. Atticus looked like he wanted to hurt Joe for insulting them all like this.
Joe soon got an idea. "I dare you to show you what you can do with that axe!" he then challenged Paul.
Atticus saw this coming. Babe was pushing the train back with his horns.
"We accept." Atticus said.
"Ye-" Cherry was about to add until her eyes widened.
"You're so on!" Joe smirked as it was time for man vs machine.
Atticus shook hands with Joe not afraid to hold back. Joe winced and grunted slightly. Atticus smirked before letting go of his hand.
Later on...
"Atticus, I just have one question for you," Cherry said calmly at first before yelling at the top of her lungs. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!"
"Listen, this is where we are going to change history," Atticus whispered to her. "While, also in a way, not changing it."
"That makes zero sense." Cherry deadpanned.
Atticus began to whisper to her of how they would change history on the results of the contest. Cherry listened closely, this sounded complicated, but of course, Atticus always had a way around things like this, and where it involved where there would be no tree stumps underneath Joe's pile of logs.
