Meanwhile back with Patch, Colette, Oddball, and the Buddies...
"Gosh, guys," Budderball panted as he came out first. "I can't believe we're alive."
"That was hot, dawg!" B-Dawg commented.
Rosebud sniffed the ground and looked confused. "What's wrong with the grass? It's cold!"
"It's my dream come true," Budderball gushed before trying to eat his surroundings. "We're surrounded by vanilla ice cream!"
"Where's the dirt?" MudBud whimpered.
"Buddies, Oddball, Colette, I don't think we're in Fernfield anymore." Patch said.
"This ice cream isn't sweet, it isn't ice cream, IT'S MY WORST NIGHTMARE!" Budderball suffered the most.
"I don't know where we are, Uncle Patch, but we have to go back home." Oddball replied.
"Yeah, but which way is home?" Colette asked.
MudBud sniffed. "It all smells the same... How are we gonna find our way home?"
"Patch, why don't you teleport us home?" Colette asked.
"Of course!" Patch face-pawed. "Alright... Everyone gather around!"
The Buddies, Colette, and Oddball gathered around the teenage dalmatian.
"Here we go!" Patch called before concentrating to teleport them back home.
They began to wait for the magic to happen.
"Any second now..." Patch said.
Nothing seemed to be happening.
Patch sighed, he then stood up on his hind legs and took off his collar. "What is wrong with you?!" he then glared at his collar since it wasn't using its magic like it should have been.
The magic began to start to glow on it, but then stop as it seemed as though it wasn't teleporting them out.
"What in the world?" Patch glared angrily.
"What is it, Patch?" Colette asked as she came to his side.
"My medallion isn't working." Patch said.
"Why not?" Colette asked.
"I-I'm not sure, I think it's stuck." Patch frowned.
"Now what do we do?" Budderball asked.
Patch sighed. "I'm not sure, let's just hope we can get back home."
"What if we never get home?" Oddball sniffled. "What if I never see Jessica ever again?"
"Yes, we will and you will see Jessica again." Budderball assured her.
"You think so?" Oddball asked with a sniffle.
"I know so." Budderball said.
Oddball sniffled still.
Budderball nuzzled against her. "Come on, we can do this, your uncle's been through worse with us."
"Worse?!" Oddball yelped.
"Uh, he means that in a good way, Oddy!" Rosebud tried to calm her down.
"Come on, we better find a place to stay before it becomes night." Patch said.
"Stick with us, Oddball." Colette advised.
Oddball came closer to her fellow puppies as Patch and Colette took the lead.
"I swear, the more I travel around snow, the more it reminds me of escaping Cruella DeVil..." Patch sighed. "Thank goodness we never have to worry about that devil woman ever again."
"Amen." Colette nodded firmly in agreement.
"She would have killed me in that cake factory." Oddball said.
"Don't worry, Oddball, she won't get you here, I'm sure of it." Patch promised his niece.
"I'll bite her if she tries to hurt you again." Budderball growled once he heard that Oddball was almost killed.
This caused Oddball to smile at Budderball's admiration. Budderball smiled bashfully to her. Oddball smiled back.
'I think Budderball might have just found his soulmate.' Rosebud thought to herself with a smile.
The dogs kept walking through the snow, hoping to find someone who could help them around this winter wonderland. Unfortunately they wouldn't find anyone, at least, not on the first day.
"I wonder why your magic didn't work," Akito spoke up. "Could it have been because of Edipan?"
"Unfortunately, yes, because you see, Equestrian magic gets blocked from being used for one whole week in the human world." Patch said.
"I don't remember that part of the deal!" Vincent gasped.
"It's life..." Patch sighed. "I didn't know it was Edipan until Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Drell came for us to bring us back home."
"So, where did you, Mom, cousin Oddball, and the Buddies sleep?" Dot asked.
"Unfortunately, it got dark, but we luckily found a cave big enough for all of us to sleep in." Patch replied.
"Hey, look, there's a cave," Oddball smiled. "Maybe we can stay there for the night."
"It's better than nothing." B-Dawg agreed.
"Then let's get inside." Colette said.
"Agreed, we'll go out and find someone to tell us where we are in the morning." Patch said.
Oddball sniffled as she still felt homesick.
"Looks pretty dark in there..." B-Dawg nervously stood outside of the cave as the others went inside ahead of him.
There was then a night owl hooting.
"On second thought, it looks cozy in there..." B-Dawg then hurried himself inside.
"You do realize that was just an owl, right?" Patch asked.
"Uh, I knew that..." B-Dawg replied, still slightly scared. "I was just worried he'd get you guys if I didn't join you."
"You do realize that owls eat mice, right?" Colette asked.
"How do you know there isn't a super mecha owl that can eat dogs?" B-Dawg whimpered.
"It's okay to be scared, we're in a whole new place," Patch said to him. "We're a lot farther from home than we were the last time."
"Patch is right." Colette said.
"I-I'm just not used to this world, it's something new to me." B-Dawg pouted.
"This is new to all of us." Rosebud said.
"It's okay, I promise, we'll all be okay." Patch told the overwhelmed puppies.
The pups all yawned at once, telling Patch and Colette they were tired.
"I think it's time for bed now." Patch said.
"Yes," Colette agreed. "We've all had a long day."
Budderball began to get closer to Oddball for his reason was so she wouldn't be cold. Oddball shivered, then suddenly felt warm.
"I thought you could use something warm." Budderball smiled to her.
"Oh, um, thank you, Budderball." Oddball smiled back to him.
"You're welcome." Budderball smiled.
Oddball smiled back. "I guess this is comfy... Not as comfy as my own bed though..."
"Don't worry, we'll find help in the morning." Budderball comforted her.
Oddball smiled before yawning and falling right to sleep. The puppies, despite being cold, fell asleep instantly, mostly from their full bellies with the ice cream.
Back in Fernfield, the Buddies' owners and Jessica began to look everywhere for them.
"Oh, where could she be?" Jessica pouted that Oddball was lost. "I took very good care of her."
"She must be where the Buddies are, wherever they are." One of the kids said.
Jessica sniffled.
"Ah, Jessie, don't cry, we'll find them..." Christopher soothed the girl of his dreams.
"I just hope they're alright." Jessica said.
Molly looked extremely devastated. They all would have to get some sleep and hope and pray that Patch, Colette, Oddball, and the Buddies would be safe.
Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Drell were in hiding spots as they waited for a delivery truck for Alaska.
"How much longer?" Drell whispered.
"Soon..." Mo said. "There should be a truck making a round any minute now..."
"Maybe this is a bad time, but I should probably give you the schedules for the ice cream deliveries to Alaska." The crystal ball told them sheepishly.
"Strike two and you're gonna be a toy for Skippy's brat." Drell threatened.
"Atticus, please don't let mean old Drell do that to me." The crystal ball begged.
"We could've known at a better time," Atticus said to the ball. "When are good times?"
"In the morning/afternoon." The crystal ball said.
"Looks like we have to get up bright and early." Drell said, then looked Cherry in the eyes. "Is that okay with you?"
"Whatever you say..." Cherry smiled dreamily at his teenage boy form.
"Oh, great, here we go again." Atticus groaned.
Drell waved his hand in front of Cherry's eyes and she seemed lost and hypnotized.
"Maybe I should have made you less appealing than the way you look now." Atticus said.
"I haven't seen someone drool over me this much, since, well, Hilda," Drell smirked and then sighed dreamily. "Ah, Hilda~..."
"Cherry, please stay focused." Mo said.
"I am..." Cherry replied.
"Then look away from Drell." Mo said.
"Do I have to?" Cherry asked.
Drell grabbed her head and turned her head which made a slight crack noise.
"Ow." Cherry said ,though sounded like she wasn't in very much pain.
Atticus used his magic and which healed Cherry's neck and she was able to move it around without any pain.
"Better?" he then asked.
"Better..." Cherry rubbed her neck now.
Drell gulped out of nervousness even if he didn't mean to do that he feared he would be tortured for doing that either way.
"I'm watching you." Atticus warned Drell.
"Of course..." Drell chuckled sheepishly.
"Anyway, we better get to sleep." Mo said.
"Sleep out here?" Cherry groaned, sounding like her old self.
"No, we're gonna sleep inside tents." Drell said.
"Yeah, but outside?" Cherry replied.
"I've slept outside all my life." Mo huffed in defense.
"It's either this or miss the next delivery?" Atticus asked.
Cherry sighed. "Fine... Where do we get the tents?"
Drell then used his magic and two tents appeared. "Magic must be on the fritz..." he then said. "I was trying to make one big enough for all of us... Okay, girls in one tent and boys in the other." he then arranged.
"Okay." Mo and Cherry said.
"Come on, Atticus, let's get some shut-eye." Drell said to Atticus.
"Agreed." Atticus said.
The four then split up to get some sleep. Angel came into the girls' tent and snuck in underneath Mo's sleeping bag. Danielle and Annette joined them while Scamp joined Atticus and Drell.
"Shh..." Angel warned her boyfriend's sisters.
Danielle and Annette nodded as they snuck inside the tent.
"Scamp, I don't know if it'll be safe for you in here, me and Atticus are first gonna go at it in wrestling this tents are so strong, we won't move it while wrestling until we go to sleep." Drell said.
"How'd you know I was here?" Scamp frowned.
"I could just tell," Drell said. "The only way for you to survive our wrestling is if you had incredible strength."
Scamp sighed. "Alright, I'll go with the girls then..."
"Scamp, there is a way for you to get incredible strength and I am the answer you seek." Atticus said.
"Oh, yeah?" Scamp smirked to him.
"Get some sleep first, you guys had a long travel." Atticus said.
Scamp sighed. "Well, okay, I'll sleep just this once... Anything to get my sister back."
"Great." Atticus said.
Scamp hugged him. "Good night."
"Good night, boy, and thanks for our first adventure together." Atticus then smiled very thankful to the schnauzer puppy since that adventure reunited him with his parents and older sister.
Scamp gave a wink and went to get some sleep with the others.
"Well then, shall we?" Drell asked Atticus.
"Hm?" Atticus turned over sleepily. "Shall we what?"
"Get inside the tent and sleep." Drell said.
"You get in..." Atticus was already comfortable. "I'm not gonna bite."
"Alright." Drell said.
"Night, sir..." atticus yawned sleepily.
"Night, Atticus..." Drell climbed in beside him.
"Did he sleep on top of Atticus?" Scruffy's voice asked.
"Can't say..." Patch replied. "I don't think so."
"He almost did." Atticus said, overhearing the story.
The kids and puppies looked up and over to the grown up Wiccan.
"Couldn't help but overhear," Atticus smiled. "What's up, guys?"
"I'm telling them about Oddball's first adventure with the Buddies," Patch smiled back at his owner since puppyhood. "Um, any open flights to Alaska yet?"
"Nope, not yet." Atticus shook his head.
"Aww..." the kids groaned in disappointment.
"I wonder if Eliza and her family are having any trouble in their Comvee." Estelle sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm sure there will be a flight to Alaska soon." Atticus assured them.
Vincent sighed. "I hope you're right, Dad..."
