"Circe was there?" Cherry asked out of surprise. "Hmm... No doubt her sisters must've done something to help destroy you."
"Circe has sisters?" Felicity asked.
"Yes, your father told me about them ages ago," Cherry replied. "Lucinda, Ruby, and Martha. I believe Triton even said that they once worked with Ursula as well."
Felicity gulped nervously as she hoped she wouldn't have to run into them if they worked for Ursula of all people, even though that sea witch was long gone by now.
"Not to mention that Snow White's father, King Leopold, was their cousin," Cherry continued. "They seem to be responsible for a lot of evil when it comes to the villains your uncle and I have faced."
"It seems so." Felicity said.
"Be wary of who you meet, Felicity," Cherry replied. "Circe lusted for your father... I found that out during Belle's wedding to Adam."
"That story reminds me so much of Shining Armor and Cadence's wedding." Felicity commented.
"Ah, yes, that was such a lovely affair," Cherry said. "I guess, that is, until I was sent away with Cadence with those impostors."
"True." Akito said.
"Oh, Aunt Cherry, is Dad around?" Estelle asked.
"Yes, he has a phone call, I'm hoping his boss gives him some time off so we can do something together as a family." Cherry replied, showing she had a sweet side to her.
"Same here." Vincent said.
Atticus came over with a big smile. "Guess what?"
"You got laid." Cherry said.
Atticus gaped at her and she just smirked.
"No!" Atticus said before smiling to his kids. "I can take some time off for a family vacation! Where should we go?"
"Hmm..." The kids hummed.
Akito soon remembered what Ingrid told him if she came to help. "Um, Dad?" he then asked. "Could we visit Ingrid where her grandmother lives? I promised that we'd visit if she helped us against Annie and Oakley."
"Where does her grandmother live?" Atticus asked.
"She said something about where the lights touch the Earth..." Akito tried to think as Ingrid wasn't very specific and didn't say which land exactly.
"She must mean the Northern Lights and a mountain." Cherry said.
"That's what I'm getting from this..." Atticus replied. "Still in North America, but very far north, even farther than where Balto lives."
"Ah, Balto..." Akito smiled. "I wish I could've kept him as a pet."
"Hey!" Scruffy pouted.
"No offense, Scruff, I love you, you're my best friend, I would never replace you." Akito hugged his dog.
Akito smiled back before he laughed as Scruffy licked his face.
"I'm so happy you're finally off work," Cherry said to Atticus even though she wasn't smiling. "You could use a break. You're starting to get gray hair."
"No, he isn't." Felicity said.
"Yes, he is..." Cherry said before she plucked out a gray hair out of Atticus's dark brown hair.
"Oh, I was just worried that this would be like Zadavia and Optimatus since I've been working overtime lately," Atticus replied. "By the way, thanks for letting me work with Detective Bullock during those times with Bruce."
"I thought you'd like that." Cherry replied.
"Who?" Larvitar asked.
Atticus took out a book to see if he could teleport them to Ingrid's grandmother's village.
"Now, let's see if I know the right spell," Atticus said. He checked the teleportation spells and soon found one that would allow him to take them to a location he didn't know exactly was since Ingrid didn't specify where her grandmother lived. "Ah, right there..." he then took out a highlighter and ran it through the spell to remember for later when the family would be ready to go.
"This is going to be great, I just know it." Akito smiled.
Atticus smiled back. "I'm excited about the ceremony, I just love other cultures."
"Is that why you can speak other languages, Daddy?" Estelle asked.
"That and to understand what people from other countries who don't speak English are saying." Atticus said.
"That's so cool, you must've had a lot of language skills tutoring." Estelle replied.
"Yes, it took some time," Atticus smiled. "Back in the old days, I had my Equestrian medallion to translate other languages to me like when we visited Tokyo with the Teen Titans."
"When can we go see Ingrid?" Akito asked.
"I think you all should rest up at home first before you go anywhere, travel can make you quite weary." Cherry advised.
"Okay." The kids and Pokemon said.
"Kids these days, always in such a rush." Cherry muttered to Atticus.
"I know, right?" Atticus replied.
The kids soon went with their Pokemon until the next time.
"Would you like to come?" Atticus asked Cherry. "You seem stressed."
"Oh, Belle's been so busy with Adam lately," Cherry said. "Meetings here and there, throwing parties, it's like Cinderella all over again, only this time, no Prudence." She then smirked at the last bit.
"True." Atticus smirked back.
Cherry and Atticus soon laughed as they didn't have to worry about Prudence anymore as she seemed to make the royal treatment seem to be more of a royal pain when they first moved into the castle with Cinderella after she married The Prince.
"So then, you'll come with us?" Atticus asked.
"I suppose that would be good..." Cherry agreed. "I'm sure Cogsworth can manage through Belle and Adam's busy schedule."
"Ah, that old man likes being in charge anyway." Atticus shrugged.
"Oh, dont' get me started on that one time..." Cherry wagged her finger.
"Okay, okay." Atticus said.
There was going to be a big adventure for everyone once they would visit Ingrid's grandmother's village, but that was a story for another time.
The End
