Patch came to visit Snoopy and also decided to check on Charlie Brown who was hard at work tonight.

"Working on his book report?" Patch asked.

"Yep." Snoopy nodded.

"Wow, he is determined." Patch said.

"Tell me about it," Snoopy smirked. "I haven't seen this boy so wound up in quite sometime."

"He must really be in love with Heather." Patch said.

"I haven't seen him this interested in a girl since... Well... Maybe Peggy Jean." Snoopy said.

"Who's that?" Patch wondered.

"A girl from summer camp." Snoopy said.

"Ohh." Patch said.

"But yeah, this Heather girl sounds pretty serious." Snoopy said.

"Yep, sure does." Patch said.

Snoopy soon yawned a bit and fell asleep. Patch looked to him and soon fell asleep with him.


The next morning seemed to come quickly as there was a knocking sound at Charlie Brown's bedroom window.

"Hey, Charlie Brown, come out and play!" The group of kids called out to their friend.

Patch watched to see what Charlie Brown would do.

"Who reads a book on a weekend?" One of the kids remarked as they left the Brown residence.

Charlie Brown closed the curtains so he won't be interrupted, then continued to read. He then got something out of the fridge as Snoopy drank some mustard and Charlie Brown took a bath and he brushed his teeth..

"Okay, where was I?" Charlie Brown asked himself before he then went back to reading. "'Took a horse from a commander and hungry and weary and the musketry fire sounded far away unimportance of life which no one could understand there was yesterday and there was the day before'."

"Ooh." A group smiled.

Charlie Brown noticed everyone listening to him reading, and he soon walked away.

"Aww..." The kids groaned to that.

"Okay, show's over, clear out." Sally told the group.

"Will there be a late show?" Franklin asked.

"I don't think so." Dot replied.

"Aww..." The other kids groaned.

Patch continued to hang out with Snoopy until Charlie Brown would soon be all done with his book report. He spent the whole day working on it as he didn't want to let his crush down, and luckily, he finally finished.


"998... 999... 1,000... Finished." Charlie Brown said in relief and soon went to go to sleep.

And where it seemed like he was going to get rest without any interruptions, but unfortunately...

"Wake up, Big Brother!" Sally announced.

Charlie Brown yelped out of bed from his little sister.

"Today's the Big Assembly to celebrate your perfect score," Sally told him with a smile. "Come see."

Charlie Brown soon got ready for the day. Sally was then busy making Charlie Brown items like Charlie Brown shirts, Charlie Brown hats ,Charlie Brown bobble head pencils and pens, Charlie Brown cups, Charlie Brown balloons, etc.

"What are you up to now?" Charlie Brown asked his sister.

"Now that you're a big celebrity we have to move fast," Sally replied. "I have shirts, hats, mugs and more. The fame that comes with intellectual superiority can be very fleeting. You have to cash in while you can. This is gonna be a big day for us, Big Brother."


Soon enough, at the school assembly...

"Hmm... I wonder where Atticus ended up at?" Phoebe asked herself. "I figure he'd be here for the assembly." She soon saw that everyone else was at the assembly.

World came out to wrap himself around Phoebe's neck for comfort.

"Aw, thanks, World," Phoebe smiled from that. She soon saw Atticus and Thor rushing in, looking as though that had been through a lot in just one night. "Oh, there's Atticus." she then smiled.

"I guess they stayed up too late." World remarked.

"Then why do they look fully rested?" Phoebe asked.

World shrugged to her.

"I don't know how that happened, but I kinda liked it." Thor said to Atticus.

"Shh~" Atticus shushed, though chuckled. "Yes, that was a lot of fun."

"Especially since we got to help Sly Cooper." Thor whispered to him.

Atticus and Thor quietly chuckled to each other as they both had a fun adventure, but kept it to themselves.

"I'm not surprised your uncle had something to do with that," Atticus smirked playfully. "He's always sending me to new worlds all the time."

"I know, right?" Thor smirked back playfully.

The other kids soon came inside for their assembly.

"Guess I should get goin', huh?" Thor guessed.

"Ah, I think you can stay for a little." Atticus offered.

"Really?" Thor asked.

"Well, do you NEED to go anywhere?" Atticus asked.

"Eh... Probably Magic Training Class for a while..." Thor shrugged. "'Cuz I have a busy football schedule, I don't usually do it the same time you guys do with Sabrina, I usually take MY classes for that at night so I can have my mortal classes during the day like everyone else in school."

"Smart." Atticus smiled.

"Yeah..." Thor shrugged. "I'd rather be done with school after 3:00, but at least this way I won't have to do summer school. I hear Cassandra's a pain though."

"She is..." Atticus rolled his eyes.

"I don't blame ya." Thor said.

Atticus smiled as he liked this friend bonding before he went to take his seat since he was a teacher's assistant for right now. Thor soon went to come and join him, also looking around to make sure no boys would be bullying his little sister or else, but luckily for him, Phoebe didn't seem to be bullied by anybody, except for sometimes Lucy, but that was just how the girl was sometimes. Charlie Brown and Linus were soon seemed walking in.

"This is all for you, Charlie Brown," Linus told his best friend. "You've really made it."

"Heather? Over here!" Phoebe beamed once she saw her new friend.

Heather soon came over to her new friend.

"It's gonna happen," Charlie Brown said to himself as he saw Heather. "She's finally gonna notice me for doing something great."

"Charlie Brown, I hate to admit it, you Blockhead, but public opinion leads me to believe that after all these years, I may have been wrong about you," Lucy soon spoke up to the bald boy. "This is not easy for me! My whole world has turned upside down!"

Phoebe simply rolled her eyes at Lucy's last sentence.

"Can I please have Charlie Brown to the stage?" Franklin requested.

Charlie Brown glanced over and soon came over to walk up on the stage as requested with everyone applauding him in the process.

"It is my pleasure to present to you today this award for this year's standardized testing," Franklin began. "But before I do, the school proclamation."

Marcie soon read aloud the proclamation with a gold star for Charlie Brown. "'On this day, where as you upheld the highest of academic standards, and where as no one would have expected out of you, and where as you are the first to ever receive a perfect score. Therefore, the result that today declared Charlie Brown Day. Signed, Miss Othmar'."

'Wow, that was a long proclamation.' Thor thought to himself.

"That's my big brother." Sally smiled proudly.

"How about that, Charlie Brown?" Franklin approved. "You're the star of the school now."

"Congratulations, Charles. Let me present to you the perfect test." Marcie added.

But when Charlie Brown accepted the test, he soon saw whose test it actually was with his name accidentally written on. It was Peppermint Patty's all along.

"Oh, no, Charlie must've signed the wrong paper..." Atticus whispered to himself. "Well, I hope he tells the truth."

Charlie Brown soon spoke up as he knew he couldn't lie to his peers. "Ahem. Before I begin, I'd like to thank all of you for your support. You've all been so kind. It's not often that I get this sort of recognition. But... There's been a mistake," he then showed them the paper truthfully. "This is not my test."

This caused everyone to gasp.

"Ha! I knew it!" Lucy smirked before seeing she was wearing one of the merchandise begore smiling sheepishly as she hid. Phoebe winced slightly from that, feeling awkward for Lucy.

"And so, I cannot accept this honor." Charlie Brown said, taking off the gold medal.

"Can a brother and a sister get a divorce?" Sally asked.

"I don't think so." Dot told her friend.

"I think this belongs to Peppermint Patty," Charlie Brown said. "She's the real genius."

Peppermint Patty seemed to prove him wrong as she was fast asleep. Atticus face-palmed to that.

"And that's why I can't have Magic Training Classes in school like you guys." Thor whispered with a smirk.

"Thanks for the info." Atticus whispered.


It was a bit tough on Charlie Brown as he wasn't popular anymore, but luckily, he still had someone by his side like true friends.

"That was a very admirable thing you just did, Charlie Brown." Linus comforted.

"One moment I'm a hero, the next I'm a goat." Charlie Brown sulked.

"Maybe things will get better after you turn in your book report." Linus said.

Patch smiled as he liked Linus's devotion to Charlie Brown as they were best friends.

"I'm not so sure," Charlie Brown sulked. "I was up all night working on it and I can't remember a single word."

"Surely, it's not as bad as you think, Charlie Brown. Let me see what you wrote," Linus said before taking a look at his report with a brief skim. "Charlie Brown, the insight you bring on such a complex novel is beyond approach. You two are sure to win the gold star for a book report on this quality."

Phoebe was soon walking out with Heather which made Charlie Brown put a bag over his head.

"Book report?" Heather asked. "Were we supposed to do a book report?"

Phoebe nodded to her best friend.

"Oh, hi," Linus said to the red-haired girl. "That lead to a fact that while you were away, Charlie Brown took it upon himself to complete the report for the both of you. And I must say, this is one of the finest literary analysis I've ever read."

Charlie Brown soon leaned on a see-saw which sent the book report flying into the air.

"Oh, snap!" Phoebe gasped from that.

"Augh! No! No!" Charlie Brown panicked.

Luckily the pages didn't fly away as they were floating back down. Linus's model plane was flying by, but luckily, the pages narrowly missed it which prevented them from being shredded.

"Oh... That felt lucky." Charlie Brown sighed in relief.

"Whew." Phoebe sighed.

"That was strange, but amazing," Heather said. "Almost like magic."

"Yeah... Magic..." Phoebe added bashfully.

Unfortunately, the model plane came back and shredded the book report to pieces.

"Oh..." Phoebe pouted as that was the last thing she wanted to happen.

Snoopy seemed angry at the plane, but it gave him an idea for his book's next chapter.

"Good Grief!" Heather gasped before offering a suggestion. "Maybe we can fix it?" Even though that was a good suggestion, there were just too many pieces of paper to put back together.

Phoebe took the papers and tried to put them back together, but it looked hopeless. "Charlie, I'm sorry..." she said to the boy.

"It's okay..." Charlie Brown sighed in dismay.

Snoopy had a new chapter idea in mind now.


"Chapter 4: Curse you, Red Baron!" Patch narrated as Snoopy went to work on his novel.

The Flying Ace was soon shown cursing the Red Baron as he was then seen flying his plane. The enemy plane was soon also flying off. Both of the planes soon pulled up as the Eiffel Tower came into view and the Red Baron shot out oil against the Flying Ace, nearly getting some oil in his eyes which then blind-sided him slightly. The other plane went high above the tower and soon zoomed right back down, zipping beside The Flying Ace. The first plane soon began to break down and then ended up on top of the Eiffel Tower as the other plane made it out.

The Flying Ace glared and soon stomped down on his plane to make it get moving again. And where he soon got it to move. Chaos ensued between the two pilots.

"Aha!" The Flying Ace laughed as he soon flew off on his plane again.

A new plane seemed to join The Flying Ace's side. The Flying Ace looked over. Patch smiled and waved to him, showing he was being a dog pilot too. The Flying Ace waved back before they looked around for the Red Baron. Woodstock soon chirped to some other birds on the ground as they were shown. The birds work together to get the planes to fly, but one of the birds tossed the slipper knot rope to another post, and the plane bumped into the planes. The other birds pointed to the one bird who did that when Woodstock glared at them for what just happened. Patch and the Flying Ace soon continued to fly after the Red Baron as he flew by the Eiffel Tower again.

"He won't get away this time!" Patch glared.

The Flying Ace nodded firmly with narrowed eyes. They soon made it at the top of the Eiffel Tower and looked around as they were at the tippy top and seemed to lose The Red Baron.

Patch growled and soon kicked their planes to go back down from the tower, looking around. "RED BARON!"

And where they soon went back down. They quickly pulled up, flying along the countryside and looked relieved that they didn't crash into anything. The two dog pilots then flew through the clouds, shaking their heads from the puffiness.

"Now where is that Red Baron?" Patch glared.

A pair of wheels soon appeared above them, making them both look shocked and panicked at first. Patch and the Flying Ace soon carefully followed after the Red Baron's plane as it was inches above from them. Unknown to them, they were going to fly into enemy territory.

"Hmm... Kinda darker than I expected..." Patch said as they explored along. "A bit... Too dark, even..."

The Flying Ace agreed with Patch until they saw where they were.

"Uh-oh..." Patch muttered nervously.

Someone was soon following them, aiming to shoot at them as they tried to flew out of sight, but no matter where they went, they were still being followed. They even tried disguises, but it didn't last long of course.

"Hey, what's that?" Patch asked the person while pointing in a different direction to misdirect the person.

The view switched that way only to come back as Patch and the Flying Ace somehow vanished.

"Heheh, sucker." Patch smirked to himself.

However, the two were spotted again which made them yelp out.

"Oh, come on!" Patch complained.

"We tried..." The Flying Ace sighed to Patch.

Patch nodded, but glared from what was going to happen to them next. "Red Baron, I'm going to make you the Black and Blue Baron." he then growled to himself.

The Flying Ace began to look for Fifi. The female poodle was hiding away and yelped as a bigger plane came toward the Flying Ace without him realizing it. Patch soon heard Fifi's yelp, thanks to his strong hearing. The Flying Ace's plane was soon shot which made him cry and look ready to give up as he was going to go down with his plane like an aerial hero. Patch soon dove down to save the Flying Ace. The Flying Ace's plane had bullet holes and had crashed in the middle of the ground.

"Ace? Ace!" Patch called out for his friend as he traveled to find the beagle.

The light soon flashed out and Patch hid behind it until he soon saw the Flying Ace peeking out to see him.

"Ace!" Patch beamed.

The Flying Ace came out to see him, but shushed him to remind him to be quiet. Patch nodded in silence as they soon looked around from where they had both landed, even if his was softer and easier than the Flying Ace's who was gunned and literally shot down from the sky. Fifi was shown to be trapped inside of a blimp and looked a bit sad to be separated from The Flying Ace.

"There she is." Patch whispered.

The Flying Ace glanced over with him.

"She's beautiful, sir." Patch smiled.

The Flying Ace smiled back with a nod of agreement. The other plane soon took off while they were still down on the ground.

"What do we do now?" Patch whispered to the Flying Ace.

"We must fly." The Flying Ace replied bravely.

"Uh, are you sure?" Patch asked. "I mean, uh-"

"We must!" The Flying Ace told him, trying to get his plane to fly, only for it to fall apart. "My heart cries for-Oof!"

"I was going to tell you that your plane's a bit damaged." Patch then told him.

"Oh, right." The Flying Ace said.

Patch grinned sheepishly before he soon stopped to think of a solution for the Flying Ace to retrieve his beloved Fifi, and the only answer was to get back to home base.

"The Flying Ace and his new companion, Air Patch, set out across the Hostile Countryside undeterred." A voice over narrated as Patch and Snoopy were shown in the real outside world, sneaking along as they came up to a tree that was holding up Christmas lights.

The two dogs then zip-lined, using their scarves, down the lights, breaking the bulbs.


While they did that, Charlie Brown was seen in his bedroom. He grabbed his kite and soon threw it in the trash as he looked a bit gloomy right now, as he felt like he had let Heather down with their book report while she was out of town for a little while. Atticus, Thor, Mo, and Cherry walked through the snow together and passed by the Brown household.

"Hmm... I think I should check on Charlie Brown..." Atticus told the others.

"Um, okay." Thor said.

"Hey, I'm a teacher's aid and a big brother, I think I should go see him," Atticus said. "I feel like something might've happened."

"Your heart is as big as your head." Cherry said, though she meant that as a compliment.

"Thanks." Atticus said.

Atticus looked over to the Brown house and decided to go pop in for a visit while everyone else continued to walk off, and where he soon saw that Charlie Brown had thrown his kite into his closet before putting the pencil in his desk.

"Thank you, Mrs. Brown, I won't be long," Atticus said before coming into the boy's room. "Uh, hey, Charlie."

"Hey." Charlie Brown sighed.

"Tough day?" Atticus asked him.

"I let down the Little Red-Haired Girl." Charlie Brown frowned.

"I'm sure that's not true." Atticus said.

"I accidentally sent our book report flying into the air from a see-saw, and it was then shredded to pieces by Linus's model of the Red Baron." Charlie Brown said.

"Hmm... That IS pretty bad..." Atticus frowned. "Ah, Charlie, I'm sorry that happened to you, but I don't think she would be mad at you over that. It wasn't your fault."

"Maybe..." Charlie Brown sighed.

"Oh... I wish I could help you..." Atticus said as he stopped to think for a moment. "Hmm..."

"Whenever I feel really alone, I just sit and stare into the night sky," Charlie Brown said as he soon looked out the window, looking way up to the night sky. "I've always thought that one of the stars was my star. And at moments like this, I knew that my star will always be there for me. Like a comforting voice saying 'don't give up, kid'."

A random star soon shot down out of the sky. Atticus looked nervous from that.

"Oh, good grief..." Charlie Brown sighed from that.
