Back in the truck...
"Anyone for breakfast?" Thomas asked the others since the Pokemon were already hungry enough as it was.
"I am a little hungry." Oliver said.
"What breakfast?" Toulouse asked.
"Where is it?" Marie added.
"Right under that magic carpet, nut now we have to cook up a little spell, ya know," Thomas replied smoothly. "Ready?"
"Yeah." Snow White nodded.
The others nodded in response.
"All right, first, to make the magic begin, you wiggle your nose and tickle your chin," Thomas demonstrated with a small smirk. "Now you close your eyes and cross your heart."
The kittens, Pokemon, and puppies did so. Thomas then came close to a cart that was covered by a rug. The kids saw what he was doing, but they all kept quiet in order for this to work.
"And presto!" Thomas then took the rug off to show a can of creme for the kittens. "Breakfast a la carte."
"Ooh, cream!" Snow White smiled.
"Hooray!" Marie cheered.
"We did it!" Toulouse beamed.
"Look, Mama, look!" Berlioz squealed.
"This is cool!" Oliver chuckled in excitement.
"Are you a magician?" Dot smiled up at Thomas.
"You are amazing." Duchess agreed.
"True, true." Thomas nodded back to them, then showed a very large bone for many puppies to share by the can of creme.
The three dogs then decided to gnaw at it while the cats had their creme. The puppies started to enjoy it.
"Nothing could ruin this moment..." Felicity sighed.
"I dunno, what if the driver notices us?" Estelle asked.
"Oh, relax, what could possibly go wrong?" Felicity shrugged modestly.
"Not good." Akito sighed.
"What?" Felicity replied. "What did I say?"
"You just said 'what could possibly go wrong?'." Vincent said.
"You just jinxed us." Jenny sighed.
Felicity frowned at herself. The driver then noticed he had unwanted company and wanted to shoo them which reminded Thomas of the pizza guy when his kittens were born and he was asked to leave by his mate.
"Mr. O'Malley?" Oliver asked.
"Hm?" Thomas looked down.
"You looked like you saw a ghost." Oliver said as he had noticed his own father's facial expression.
"Oh... Uh... Just thinking..." Thomas replied. "Anyway, you're welcome for the creme, buddy."
"I guess so..." Oliver hummed in response.
The group then ran as the driver threw things at them, but luckily, most of them hit Akito who wasn't even hurt by them. Little did they know, they had unintentionally ended up on the railroad tracks.
"Did that driver scare you, sir?" Snow white asked Thomas.
"Oh, it'll be all right, some humans are horrible like that," Thomas said, settling himself down. "I've learned to live with them."
"I'll show him!" Toulouse glared before hissing and spitting like an alley cat again.
"I think he's gone." Akito said.
"Cool it, you little tiger." Thomas chuckled to Toulouse.
Oliver chuckled himself.
"Oh, I'll be so glad when we get back home." Duchess sighed.
"That's a long way off, so we better get moving." Thomas replied.
"Gee whiz! Look at that bridge!" Scruffy cheered as he jumped on the rails. "Come on, let's play 'Train'!"
"Yeah!" Dot smiled.
"Oh, be careful, you guys." Maisy gently warned.
The kittens got in one line while the dogs got in another and they all pretended to be trains, they walked across and made train sounds as they walked across the railroad together.
"They do seem to be having a lot of fun." Estelle smiled.
"Let's join them," Eloise suggested. "I do love to pretend."
"All aboard!" Akito called.
The kids then copied the kittens and dogs which made the Pokemon only do the same. They soon heard a real train whistle go off.
"Wow, whoever did that is great at pretending." Eloise smiled.
"Uh, Eloise? I think that was it..." Weenie pointed ahead.
"TRAIN!" the others screamed out of fear.
"Everyone get under the train tracks!" Akito told them.
They all rushed down under the train tracks. Oliver shook slightly and fell out of Jenny's reach.
"OLIVER!" Jenny cried out with tears of fear and overwhelment in her eyes.
"JENNY!" Oliver cried back before he splashed into the water.
Thomas soon felt an instinct take over him when he heard Oliver fall in the water. He jumped into the water after him. Oliver gasped as he tried to get up, but the current was strong and taking him until Thomas gently bit on the scruff of his neck and climbed up to take the young one to dry safety.
"Oh, thank goodness." Duchess sighed out of relief as all the rest of the kittens and puppies and Pokemon were still with them under the train tracks.
"Gee, Oliver, why'd you have to fall off the bridge?" Toulouse asked.
"Believe me, it was the last thing I wanted to do." Oliver glared before soon smiling up to Thomas.
Thomas smiled back down to him.
"I could've sworn I saw two gooses down there." Oliver said once they made it to a safer land.
"Geese?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah, they had bonnets." Oliver shrugged.
"Why would geese wear bonnets?" Akito asked.
"I dunno, I wanted to ask them but I was almost drowning until my dad saved me." Oliver replied.
"Hey, maybe they can help us get back home." Maisy suggested.
"Wait, did you just call Mr. O'Malley your dad?" Toulouse asked.
"Um... Well..." Oliver stammered, not realizing he had done that.
"Because he's his father." Scruffy said.
Oliver chuckled sheepishly.
"You have a son?" Duchess asked Thomas.
Thomas soon revealed that he once did have kittens and a mate and told them why he left his mate and his kitten. Duchess had to admit, she was surprised and a little overwhelmed. She then could see that maybe it was for the best that Thomas seemed to be in love with her truthfully, even if he had a different story back in New York City before coming to Paris.
"You sure have grown, little guy." Thomas smiled down at Oliver.
"I just wonder why no one else wanted me when they would take my brothers and sisters..." Oliver pouted.
"Perhaps it was because of destiny." Estelle said.
"I dunno..." Oliver sighed.
"It's in the past, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Maisy soothed.
"Now, let's find those geese to give us a way home." Duchess suggested.
The Pokemon agreed. They all went to where the twin geese were and they did in fact have bonnets on their heads, one pink and the other blue.
"Let's see if they can give us directions." Estelle said.
"If you insist." Thomas replied.
