Meanwhile...
"Of course, if you really want to survive in style, you'll need something from our Mallardy Selects Collection." A vendor smiled as he was at work.
"You!" Jessica's voice glared.
"Are you the man who sold our friend all this useless equipment?" Louie added.
The vendor looked nervous from seeing Launchpad.
"Look at him! He's dying of ice fever!" Louie cried out as Launchpad seemed to wallow a bit. "All the overpriced junk you sold him did nothing!"
"He's dying of ice fever!" Jessica added.
"No, no, that's impossible." The vendor said.
"Tell that to this poor man!" Louie glared.
"I see a bright light," Launchpad said, seeing the sun, but thinking it was the afterlife. "This is it! Louie, Jessie, bury me among the clouds."
Louie and Jessica gasped fearfully for Launchpad. "He's delirious!"
"No, he's an idiot," The vendor glared at them. "He's not dying of ice fever. Ice fever isn't real!"
Unfortunately for the vendor, the people that he was selling overpriced merchandise had heard what he said. Jessica hid a small smirk as she had been hoping for that. The crowd soon surrounded the vendor, growling at him.
"Um, maybe just sort of not real?" The vendor smiled nervously to them. He soon ran away from the angry crowd.
Jessica and Louie smiled to each other as they worked together just fine. Louie then took the goggles off of Launchpad which made the pilot spring up to his feet happily.
"You saved me!" Launchpad beamed to Louie once he saw that he was safe. "You carried me down the mountain single-handedly, then cured me of ice fever!"
"Sure, let's go with that." Jessica said.
"Yeah. Why not?" Louie added.
Launchpad laughed out of victory. "We survived! Take that, Mount Neverrest! You won't claim our bodies today!"
They soon noticed the avalanche. Launchpad soon put his goggles back on as the avalanche of snow came flooding in. They were soon all buried in the snow until they popped out, gasping and panting.
"So, that's sledding, huh?" Webby remarked before shrugging from the experience. "Meh."
"Seriously?!" Cherry asked.
"I'm glad you got to try it out, Webbs." Mo soothed.
"Yeah, me too." Webby admitted.
"Sorry we didn't make it to the top, Uncle Scrooge." Huey frowned.
"Ah, tell you, buddy, there's more to Neverrest than just a mountain, and there's more to us than just a couple of ninnies who couldn't climb it." Scrooge replied, having learned a lesson after their misadventure.
"Yeah, we're the very first ones to survive Mount Neverest." Atticus said.
Scrooge took out a 'I didn't survive Mount Neverrest' T-Shirt, crossing out the word didn't and added a D to survive to turn into 'survived', giving it to Huey as a souvenir. "Plenty more adventures where that came from, eh, lad?"
Huey smiled, accepting the T-Shirt as his very own.
"Now, where the blazes is that hot cocoa stand? I am freezing!" Scrooge then wondered as he got up from the snow.
"You and me both." Atticus said.
Huey soon put his map away, though it went through a wormhole, and ended up on top of Mount Neverrest as they all came to have some hot cocoa together.
After they had hot cocoa, the group got back on the plane and took off back to Duckburg.
"This was a bit fun," Jessica said to Atticus. "Sorry we couldn't have an official Christmas."
"It's okay, maybe we'll have an official Christmas next year." Atticus replied.
"Yeah, that would be nice." Jessica smiled before hugging her little brother fondly.
Atticus smiled back as he hugged her back. Cherry gave a small smile to them, though looked down a bit as she was still without any knowledge or trace of her own family, though she was given a book, she began to feel a bit left out. Then all of a sudden, she felt like someone was watching her.
"What a nice adventure." Lionel smiled.
"You guys ever feel like you're being watched?" Cherry asked, a bit uneasily.
"No. Why?" Louie asked.
"I feel... Like maybe..." Cherry said.
"You're crazy." Louie smirked.
"Louie!" Cherry glared.
"What?" Louie smirked.
"Argh..." Cherry grumbled to him.
"Louie, please just stop." Mo said.
"What? What'd I do?" Louie replied. "Not my fault that Cherry's going loony."
Atticus even let out a groan. Cherry looked around before shrugging, taking her hot cocoa she bought for the trip back home.
"I got my eye on you..." Lionel told Louie, being protective of Cherry. "I'm sure we have nothing to worry about though, but I can't wait for the next adventure!" he then beamed out of excitement.
"Same here." Atticus beamed back.
They all continued to drink their hot cocoa until Launchpad would take them back home until their next misadventure together, and which would be soon.
They soon came back home as Cherry was looking over the book she was given like Atticus was before Jessica came back into his life, and she began to do as much research from it she could. Lionel soon poofed into the room with a smile.
"Do you mind?" Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Not really." Lionel smiled. He soon saw that Cherry really wanted to read her book alone.
Cherry looked at him until he would leave.
"Uh... Sorry..." Lionel chuckled bashfully. "I'll leave you to it... I have my own reading material." he then took out some old comic books from the series DuckTales before poofing away.
Cherry rolled her eyes from that and soon went back to her reading, and where the book helped her into getting to know more about her family. She felt pretty emotional over what she was reading as she let out a small sigh. The feeling she had before about being watched came back.
"Okay, who's there?" Cherry asked firmly. "Come out and show yourself."
No one came out at first.
"I'm serious!" Cherry glared, hopping off of her bed and looking around the room. "This isn't funny! ...Or scary!"
Someone soon dropped down from her ceiling.
"Yaugh!" Cherry yelped, running off and ducked under the bed. "Who are you? I'm gonna call the cops!" She soon recognized the person from one of the pictures in the book that seemed like a class history book.
"Hey, hey, now, calm down..." The older girl said. "Let's talk about this."
"Who are you even?" Cherry asked.
"My name's Teresa, and I'm your sister." The older girl said, coming beside the bed with a small smile.
"Say what now?" Cherry asked out of shock.
"Cherry Butler, I am Teresa, and I am your sister!" The young woman laughed, trying to sound like Darth Vader.
Cherry sweat-dropped a bit from that before getting pulled into a hug.
"Oh, look at how much you've grown." Teresa smiled.
"If you truly are my sister, then why did our parents leave me with Donald Duck?" Cherry asked firmly.
"They were forced to..." Teresa said.
"I'm sure." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"It's very complicated, but trust me, they love you very much." Teresa told her.
"So, you mean they're still alive?" Cherry asked.
"Of course they are," Teresa replied. "They miss you a whole lot. Luckily for us, I was able to find you since Dad's trying to get interested in magic after Mich-I mean, Mom is getting in touch with being a witch like her mother."
"So, then does that mean we have magic too?" Cherry asked.
"You have a very unique magic in you, but yes," Teresa said. "I learned some magic so that I could come see you."
"Well, this is pretty cool," Cherry beamed a bit. "I never knew I had a sister."
"And I'm sorry if you never knew." Teresa told her.
"So... They ARE coming back?" Cherry asked.
"I'm sure they can explain to you and Atticus like when Della Duck left too." Teresa replied.
"Why did Della leave?" Cherry asked.
"You mean Atticus never told you? Then again, what happened to the Spear of Selene; it must have been too much of a sad memory for a little kid to WANT to remember that day." Teresa said.
"What...?" Cherry asked. "The Spear of Selene?!"
"It's a long story." Teresa said to her younger sister.
"I've got time." Cherry shrugged.
Teresa soon sat Cherry down and told her everything that she could until what led up to this point.
"So, it's all Scrooge's fault that they're gone." Cherry glared.
"I'm really sorry, Cherry," Teresa told her sister. "It wasn't meant to be like this, I promise you."
"I guess no one could have predicted that would happen." Cherry sighed.
"I'm really sorry," Teresa frowned to her sister. "I promise you though, it'll get better."
"Yeah, I guess." Cherry shrugged.
"But until time is right, we can't tell the others." Teresa said.
Cherry let out a sigh. "Okay, hang on a second." she then took out her journal and wrote this down.
"What're you doing?" Teresa asked.
"I write down a secret in my journal and hide it so that no one will know about it." Cherry explained.
"Hm... I think I remember Dad doing something like that." Teresa chuckled.
"Guess it runs in the family." Cherry said.
"I'm sure it does," Teresa replied. "You remind me so much of him."
Cherry seemed to look happy upon hearing that, and where it seemed like nothing would ever ruin their happy lives.
Eventually, Cherry came down to dinner while Teresa waited in her room, feeling wore out from her summoning.
"Hey, look who's up." Atticus smiled.
"I had some thinking to do." Cherry said.
"That's dangerous." Lionel smirked playfully.
"Oh, ha, ha." Cherry rolled her eyes playfully.
The others laughed a bit before sharing some dinner together.
"I feel like our next adventure's gonna be a big one, call it a gut feeling," Lionel said. "Maybe Thor can come with us. I miss that big guy, even though he snores like a lawnmower with a sock caught in the wheels."
"Yeah... I guess he can come along." Cherry shrugged.
"As long as he doesn't hug you, right?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah..." Cherry rolled her eyes a bit. "He's like a big puppy dog or something."
"Well, Thor has a hard time making friends sometimes." Lionel defended.
"With his size, I can understand why." Atticus said.
"Yeah, he was a real loner when I met him." Lionel nodded.
"Whoa." Huey said.
"Like he told you guys, he ran away from home and was all alone." Lionel frowned.
"Aww... Poor guy..." Atticus replied. "I should do something nice for him when we see him again."
"But what?" Dewey asked.
"I dunno... Lionel, what does Thor like?" Atticus asked.
"Food." Lionel smirked.
"What kind of food?" Atticus asked.
"Lots of meat," Lionel said. "He likes a lot of pork too especially, though I've never been too crazy about pork myself. Usually if we're given anything with bacon, I just give it to him."
"Good to know." Atticus said.
"I'm sure he'd be psyched to come with us on our next adventure," Lionel smiled. "All he wants is a friend and some excitement in his life. Plus I'm glad he got to go back home with his family."
"What about you?" Jessica asked him. "Do you have a family?"
"Not really," Lionel said. "My people are just born into existence. We don't really have a family, we just have our lives, and that's pretty much it."
"Wow," Louie said. "Sounds lonely."
"Eh, I live with what I can," Lionel shrugged. "They weren't too crazy about me back home, so I left and went AWOL."
"Whoa." Huey said.
"Mm... This mac and cheese is amazing!" Lionel beamed as he went back to eating.
"Well, he seemed to take that well." Cherry said.
"Kinda like how we were born without Mom around..." Dewey bowed his head softly.
Atticus and Cherry understood how the triplets felt. They all soon continued to eat dinner until they soon finished up, and Dewey began to feel more and more emotional about his missing mother, and where Webby knew exactly two places where they could find out more about the triplet's mother.
Eventually, Thor was called and was going to join them for the next adventure.
"So, Thor, how're things at home?" Atticus smiled to his new friend.
"My little sister's still annoying sometimes... But I guess she's okay." Thor replied.
"That's great to know." Atticus smiled.
"I guess little siblings are just always gonna be annoying." Thor shrugged.
"Not always." Jessica told him.
"My sister anyway." Thor smirked a bit.
"Whatever you say." Jessica shrugged.
"Eh, you'll see what I mean later." Thor shrugged.
"I could never feel annoyed with Atticus." Jessica smiled.
"Sure YOU say that 'cuz I've had to deal with his annoyance for most of my life." Cherry smirked playfully.
Thor let out a small gasp from that.
"Hey!" Atticus complained to Cherry.
"Hey." Cherry smirked.
Atticus glared before smirking back as he touched Cherry's shoulder while looking like he wasn't touching her.
"Hey... Get off of me." Cherry glared.
"What?" Atticus smirked.
"You're touching me!" Cherry glared.
"I'm not touching you." Atticus smirked.
"You're touching me!" Cherry glared.
Thor chuckled a bit. "My sister and I do that all the time."
"Not touching! It's free air!" Atticus told Cherry.
"I seriously wonder about you sometimes." Cherry glared at Atticus before smirking.
"Nyah." Atticus smirked back.
"All right, guys, let's get going on our big trip!" Launchpad announced.
"Wahoo!" Lionel cheered.
They all soon got onto the plane together to go to their next voyage.
"Adventure time!" Thor laughed out of excitement.
"Off to adventure!" Atticus cheered.
The plane soon took off and they went off to their new adventure. Later on, a storm had overcast them as they were flying together.
