Pam suddenly remembered something. "Oh the picnic! I forgot!" She cried picking up the cheesecake she made. She ran out of the house. "Hi again." Herc said looking up. "Hi" Pam said. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Hercules asked. "Well our neighborhood is having a picnic today..hey..you wanna come with me?" she asked. Hercules nodded. "Sure, I have nothing else to do" They started walking towards the park. "So how do you like it here so far?" Pam asked. "It's really nice here. The people are great." he replied. Pam nodded. "Yea, they are" They walked in silence for a few minutes then arrived at the park. "Sorry I'm late everyone! But I brought cheesecake. Oh, and this is my neighbor Hercules" Pam said smiling. Mandy smiled. "Hi Pam. Hi Hercules."
Simba walked up to join them. "Cheesecake? Sounds great!" Belle smiled. "It seemed all us girls had dessert on the mind." Doppler nodded. "But that sounds fine to me!"
Pam sat down in the grass near Jim and Randy. "Come on Hercules, take a load off." Hercules sat down as someone put their hands over Pam's eyes. "Guess who?" she asked. Pam thought for a moment, then said, "Penny?" Penny looked at her. "How'd you know?" Pam smiled. "Lucky guess. So they let you come?" Penny nodded. "Yes, but you have to take me back later." she said sitting down and petting Simba. Simba purred and licked Penny's face like an overgrown cat.
Jim had been thinking about what Randy had said and replied, "Sure, that could be why MOST of the time" Randy shrugged. "So you fight. It's a normal couple thing.." He glared at Meg. "But when you fight all the time it's bad." "Jim I'm surprised! That girl is the best thing that's happened to you in awhile! You should be a little more sparing, er caring." Doppler said. Jim looked at him. "Are you sure doc?" Jen looked around, trying not to notice anything. Amelia bonked Jim on the head. "Jim Hawkins cut that out right now!" Jim rubbed his head. "Ouch! What was that for?!" "Your own good! You are being a big jerk!" Amelia replied. "No, just to prove you have a hard head, as all males do." Sassy said. "Hey!" Chance said. Randy snickered quietly. Megara hit him on the head. "Don't you start too." Mandy came to Jen's defense. "Don't listen to him Jen. He's having a guy moment." She said glaring at Jim. Jim glared back at her. "Alright, everyone just lay off will ya?" Randy elbowed him. "I wouldn't get HER mad." he said pointing to Mandy. "She can really throw a punch..I learned that yesterday." he finished rubbing his arm. Belle looked at them. "Ok everyone, stop fighting. Let's play volleyball." she said. "That's it. I'm out of here!" Jim called. He got onto his solar surfer and flew off. "Well I could care less!" Jen called. She took off the necklace Jim gave her and threw it to the ground. "Ok. I'm up for some volleyball!" she said. Mandy sighed and picked up the necklace un-noticed and put it in her pocket. Jim stopped behind a tree, and watched the others. "I'm up for a game" Hercules said. "Me too." called Pam standing up. "Count me in! Come on Delbert." Amelia said. "No thanks. I'll sit this one out." he said. Meg pulled Randy to his feet. "We are playing." "Megara leave me alone would ya?" Randy whined. "Aw buck up Randy. It's just a game. What could go wrong?"
Shadow walked under the tree and looked up at Jim. "What's wrong? You can tell me." Jim looked down, startled. "What? Woah!" He yelled falling out of the tree, landing on the ground. Randy looked at Chance. "THAT could happen." "Oh Randy. You can't fall out of a tree playing volleyball." Chance laughed. Doppler looked at Jim, who had landed beside him. "Jim! Jim my boy are you ok? How many fingers am I holding up?" Jim blinked. "Uh…3" "Uh..That's close enough..you should be right as drain…errr..rain." Doppler said. "That's a long way to fall.." Herc pointed out. "Yea..I hope he's ok." Pam said.
"Well…we better go. I have to get Penny back to the orphanage…" Pam said. "I have to go too. It's been fun" said Hercules. Pam picked up Penny and they walked away. "Um…I was wondering. I need someone to show me around town. Would you do it?" asked Herc. "Sure! Lemme just drop Penny off." Pam replied. When they got to the orphanage Pam put Penny down. "Bye Miss Pam. Thank you." Penny said wandering back inside. "Bye Penny." Pam called. "Alright. Now I'll show you around." Pam said to Hercules.
Mandy kneeled beside Jim. "You ok?" "I…uh..yea.. I think so." he said. Jen watched from a distance, debating whether to go over there. Mandy smiled innocently. "Good.." She slapped him. "What were you doing up there?!?" Randy flinched. "I warned him about that…" "Ouch! I uh…….my board got caught in the tree..I was trying to get it out." Jim said. "I don't believe that" Mandy said to him. "Ok ok, I was spying." Jim said. "Thought so…" Mandy stated. "Sorry Jim.." Shadow said. "That must have hurt.." Belle said. "What? Falling out of the tree or Mandy hitting him?" Randy asked. "Both!" Belle laughed. "I think I'd rather fall out of the tree." Randy said. Mandy whacked him. "Be quiet!" she hissed. "Ow.." he said. "Thank you." she said innocently. Belle laughed. "You guys are too cute together!" Randy and Mandy looked at Belle. "WHAT?!" they cried. Belle laughed. "What did you mean by that Belle?" Mandy asked.
Pam had shown Hercules around and noticed the others were still in the park. "Lets go back." she said. Herc nodded and they walked over to the others. "Hi Everyone. You ok Jim?" she asked. "Yea…but my head sorta hurts." he replied. Mandy smiled weakly. "Sorry Jim..it's uh…habit?" she said. "Yea right." Randy muttered. Mandy glared at him. Jen sat under a tree and took out some paper and a pencil and started to write. Jim glanced over at her. Herc looked at Jim. "Well I hope everything turns out okay. See ya later guys." "Yea, ditto!" Pam said. "Thanks." Jim said to them. Hercules and Pam left to go home. Jim sighed thinking to himself. 'Why does she have to be so stubborn? Is it that hard to come over and ask how I'm doing? Well if that's the way she wants it…' "Jen! Come over here! I would go over there but it's a little painful to get up!" he called. Jen didn't hear him and continued writing. Jim sighed. "Oh no..not again. Every time she picks up that pencil she is in another world until she puts it down. Why can't she just stick to dancing and singing and not add on writing?" Meg sat down by Jen. "What are you writing?" she asked. Sassy sat by Jen and swiped her pencil. "Hey you have someone talking to you!" she called. "Oh just a story.." Jen said, noticing her pencil was gone. "Sassy..now give me back the pencil." she said. Mandy sat down by them. "Story about what Jen?" Jen shrugged. "Nothing much. Just a regular fairytale. Except this time the hero and heroine don't have it so easy…" she said. Sassy looked up at Jen. "I took your pencil cuz someone is trying to talk to you." she said pointing to Jim. "Well that someone can forget about me" Jen replied. "Why?" Sassy asked. "Because I don't want to talk to him." Jen said taking back her pencil. Mandy looked at Belle. "Now Belle, what did you mean earlier?" she asked. "I just meant you two are cute together…you'd make a good couple." Belle replied. "Oh." Mandy said. Then Belle's statement registered in her and Randy's minds. "WHAT?!" they yelled. Sassy started to bat at Jen's pencil. Jen giggled and tried to write. The cat reached over to bat the pencil and tumbled into Jen's lap. "Oopsies!" the cat said. Jim smiled and got up. Mandy looked up suddenly. "Smoke??? A Fire!" she yelped. "It looks like it's coming from Pam's place!" she jumped up and started running towards Pam's home. "Mandy wait!" Randy called after her. Jim looked up and followed Mandy and Randy towards the house. Jen picked up Sassy and followed.
Simba walked up to join them. "Cheesecake? Sounds great!" Belle smiled. "It seemed all us girls had dessert on the mind." Doppler nodded. "But that sounds fine to me!"
