Darla was in the living room with her friends.

"Darla, where's Atticus?" Cherry asked.

"Upstairs with Mo," Darla replied with a sneaky smile. "I think they're gonna make out."

"Oh, um, well, then maybe now is not a good time." Forte said.

"Do you even know what that means?" Cherry folded her arms at him.

"Yes..." Forte glanced at her. "I may be old-fashioned, but I pick up on things from your century."

"You didn't even know what a computer was until you met me again when I just became a teenager." Cherry reminded him.

"Touche." Forte groaned.

Cherry glanced at him, then yelled upstairs. "ATTICUS, GET DOWN HERE, NOW!"

"I'm kind of busy right now!" Atticus called back.

Cherry narrowed her eyes and walked up the stairs.

"Cerise, don't." Forte held her arm back.

Cherry slapped his hand and kept going up.

"Wow, this must be really important for Cherry to go up stairs to get Atticus herself." Darla said.

"Tell me about it..." Forte mumbled.


Cherry banged on Atticus's door. "Get out of here right now!"

"Cherry?" Atticus was surprised. "You came up here all by yourself?"

"Very funny, get out of here now!" Cherry folded her arms.

"Okay, okay, just give me a minute, okay?" Atticus asked.

"Hurry up!" Cherry rushed.

"Okay, okay, I will." Atticus said.

Cherry groaned, she then got bored of waiting for him and started to paint black nail polish on her nails, blowing on them. Eventually, Atticus came out of his room.

"What took you so long?" Cherry asked as she looked at her nails in the light.

"I had to apologize to Mo for cutting it short, now what is so important?" Atticus asked, cross armed.

"Patch, Colette, and the Buddies are trying to save Buddy and Molly from being kidnapped." Cherry explained with no emotion in her voice.

"What?! Then let's get going." Atticus said.

"Finally..." Cherry walked off.

Mo poked her head out and followed them. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

"You wouldn't let me." Cherry reminded her.

"Really?" Mo said out of confusion.

"I've been here forever... You didn't answer me..." Cherry rolled her eyes. "I had enough time to give myself a manicure."

"It's just been a few minutes." Atticus said.

Cherry showed her dry nails. "I have a lot of free time..."

"Don't get hurt now..." Darla said as she stood in between Annabelle and Amber.

"Good luck." Annabelle added.

"Thanks," Atticus said before turning to Cherry and Forte. "Now, where are they heading?"

"Last I've heard, Innsfield." Forte replied.

"Do you know where that is?" Cherry glanced up at him coldly.

"As far as I know, miles away from here." Atticus said.

"Just come with me, I know what I'm doing." Forte led them away.

"That's what worries me..." Cherry mumbled.

"Would you rather like us to not follow him and for us to get lost?" Atticus asked.

"Don't mess with me, I've been reaped of my video game privileges..." Cherry muttered.

Mo frowned a little, she just didn't know what to think of Cherry sometimes.

"Let's just follow Forte and let him lead us." Atticus said.

"That friend of yours, Atticus." Mo sighed at Cherry.

"Hopefully they're okay and haven't gotten into any trouble." Atticus said.

"Come along then." Forte told them as he led them further downtown.
