"It's good to see you again!" Ellody smiled as she hugged her uncle.
"Ah, Ellody, you are more and more beautiful the more I see you." Fernando smiled as he hugged his niece.
"Oh, stop. You're making me blush." Ellody blushed to that.
"Hiya, dude, I mean, sir," Lightning said to Fernando. "Don't worry, Ellody is being taken care of very good."
"I sure hope so," Fernando said to Lightning. "Ellody's happiness means the world to me... She's so much like her mother."
"Well, don't you worry, sir; The Lightning is protecting her from anything." Lightning grinned.
"Let's try and keeping it that way." Fernando nodded firmly.
Lightning nodded back in fright from him. "Yes, sir."
Fernando hid a small smirk.
"Were you like that when my mama was dating?" Ellody asked.
"Eh, more or less," Fernando smiled. "I was her big brother after all."
"I can imagine that." Ellody giggled.
"Speaking of which, I want to give you something." Fernando said before taking out a case.
"What is it?" Ellody asked.
Fernando soon sat down with her and opened up the case and took out a golden charm bracelet. "I was always hoping to give this to you someday, like maybe your Quinceañera, but I suppose better late than never," he then said. "This was your mother's on her Quinceañera, and I think you should have it now."
Ellody accepted the bracelet and cupped her hand before closing her eyes slowly. "I miss her." she then whispered softly.
"So do I." Fernando smiled sadly.
"This is the best gift ever," Ellody smiled back. "Thank you!"
Fernando smiled and hugged Ellody.
"What's a... Quin... Whatever that is you just said?" Lightning asked.
"A Quinceañera," Ellody said. "It's like when Dakota had a Sweet 16th Birthday Party, but this is when a girl turns 15 and there's a big party and everything. It's a very wonderful tradition."
"Sweet!" Lightning smiled.
"It's a very fun time." Ellody smiled back.
"When can we celebrate?" Lightning asked.
"Lightning, you know my birthday's passed." Ellody told him.
"Oh... Uh... What if we did a half birthday then?" Lightning asked. "My little cousin Timberly always tries to do that."
"Hmm..." Ellody paused in thought.
Fernando put his arm around Ellody. "You can think about it later." he then said with a smile.
"Thank you," Ellody smiled back. "Also, excellent work on acting with Miss Foxxy. I had no idea you were such a passionate actor."
"Well, your mama and I used to be in plays all the time when we were kids." Fernando replied.
"Really?" Ellody smiled as they walked off together.
Fernando smiled back as they went home.
Gordon and Louise went over the scripts together as Martin and Gex came to their parents.
"That was amazing, wasn't it, kids?" Gordon smiled.
"Sure was, Dad." Gex replied.
"There were like a thousand people in here, how're we gonna pick between them?" Louise asked her husband.
"Don't worry, you let me worry about that," Gordon said before his cell phone soon rang and he answered it. "Hello?"
"Hello, Brother, I was calling to see how your movie was going." Gaspar replied.
"Oh, it's going amazing, it's gonna knock your scales off!" Gordon bragged.
Martin and Gex looked to each other uneasily about their father's bragging.
"Do you have any famous movie stars in your movie?" Gaspar chuckled.
"Well... No..." Gordon admitted.
"Oh, what a shame," Gaspar sighed. "And James Earl Jones just called me saying he'd love to play a part in my movie."
"J-J-James Earl Jones?!" Gordon's eyes widened.
"That's right, and I even have Ryan Reynolds here." Gaspar continued to boast.
"Hey, uh, Gaspar, where's the buffet table?" An actor asked. "I have a craving for some chicken picata."
"Who was that...?" Gordon asked uneasily.
"Oh, it's right over there, Mr. TOM HANKS." Gaspar smirked.
"Tom Hanks?!" Gordon asked.
"That's right, even he will be in my movie." Gaspar replied.
"Sir, your 4:00 appointment dinner with Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, and Kevin Hart is here." Dennis informed.
"It had to include Adam Sandler, didn't it?" Gaspar muttered.
"Sorry, sir, but he's mostly for the kid demographic." Dennis replied.
"All right," Gasper said. "Listen, Gordon, I must go. My life of luxury awaits."
"My movie will be the best! You'll see!" Gordon glared.
"Have fun with that, talk to you later." Gaspar smirked before hanging up.
"Ugh! He just ruffles my scales!" Gordon groaned about his brother.
"Take it easy, dear," Louise coaxed. "We'll worry about the script tonight, all right?"
"...Mm... All right." Gordon replied.
"Let's grab a bite to eat." Gex suggested.
And with that, the Gecko family went out to dinner.
Meanwhile at the Drawn Together household, Foxxy was staring off to space.
"How was the audition?" Clara asked Mike as she made smoothies.
"Pretty good, though I think Mama Foxxy was good as the leading lady, Nyssa." Mike said.
"Well, that's nice," Clara said. "At least Foxxy's good at something."
"Hey, what did we talk about?" Mike warned.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mike, it slipped out." Clara said nervously.
"Mm-hmm..." Mike replied. "At least you were the actual tolerable one when I went to your Princess School Reunion."
"So, it's true, Foxxy? You'll be the leading lady?" Clara then smiled.
"Fernando." Foxxy smiled dreamily as she was in her own little world.
"Who is this Fernando?" Clara asked.
"Ellody's uncle, he came at the auditions too." Mike replied.
"Really?" Clara asked.
"Yep, and Mama Foxxy has a thing for him." Mike nodded.
"Mike! It ain't cool to meddle like that!" Foxxy complained.
"Well, it's true," Mike replied. "You were following him like a lost puppy!"
"I-I-I did not." Foxxy said.
"Foxxy has a boyfriend?" Captain Hero asked as he poked his head into the kitchen.
"Hush up, Foo, I do not!" Foxxy glared at him.
"Well, you know what they say, Foxxy, seventh time's the charm." Spanky commented.
"Who is he, Foxxy?" Wooldoor smiled hopefully. "Is he dreamy?"
"Uh... He okay, I guess..." Foxxy shrugged.
"You guess?" Mike smirked. "I haven't seen anyone that crazy over someone ever since the transfer teacher for St. Albans came from Scotland and my old friend Melissa Kingsleigh had the hots for him."
"Come on, sweetie, tell us." Xandir smiled to Foxxy.
"Yeah! Come on!" Toot added.
"He's a good guy, okay?" Foxxy replied. "He called me a lovely woman."
"He's Ellody's uncle," Mike added. "I met him when I went to Mexico to meet Fred's pen pal with Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc gang."
"What she said." Foxxy said.
"I went to Mexico once, I found some pretty neat stuff," Spanky said before he went to go in his room and found a whole bag of gold that was in his closet. "Good. It's still there."
"If he takes out his crap again, I'm walking." Mike muttered.
"Okay, maybe I do like him a little." Foxxy soon said about Fernando.
"Nothing wrong with that," Mike replied. "You could start dating again. It might be good for you."
"Nooo! I can't take being single any longer! You all have somebody and I don't!" Clara cried out.
Everyone else then shared a glance over to the princess.
"You be patient," Mike told Clara before looking over. "Whatcha got there, Spanky?"
"Behold!" Spanky smiled as he presented his gold.
"Whoa! Where did you get that?" Mike asked.
"Mexico." Spanky smirked.
"Where in Mexico?" Mike asked.
"El Dorado..." Spanky said. "You know, the City of Gold?"
"Well, I did meet El Dorado, but the superhero, not the city, when I was in Mexico with Mystery Inc." Mike replied.
Spanky smirked.
"I don't think he has the golden touch though like King Midas." Mike said to him.
"Oh. Okay." Spanky replied.
The doorbell then rang.
"I'll get it!" Wooldoor beamed as he ran to the door before opening it with a smile to reveal Fernando.
"Hola, Senor," Fernando greeted. "Is this where Senorita Foxxy lives?"
"Ooooh, you must be the guy she was talking about." Wooldoor smiled.
"I'll take that as a yes?" Fernando replied.
"Oh, yeah, Foxxy lives here." Wooldoor nodded.
"She left her cell phone in the auditorium, so I came here to maybe give it to her," Fernando said. "May I come in?"
"Sure," Wooldoor replied. "FOXXY! YOUR BEEF CAKE IS HERE!"
"Oh, Wooldoor..." Mike sighed to that.
"Cake?!" Toot grinned. "What kind of cake is it?!"
"Not that kind of cake, Toot." Mike told her.
"Aww..." Toot pouted to that.
Fernando soon came in to see the others.
"Gah! I mean, uh, hey." Foxxy smiled bashfully like a nervous school girl.
Spanky quickly hid the gold in his pocket.
"Your forgot your cell phone." Fernando said, handing the phone to the fox woman.
"Oh, th-th-thank you!" Foxxy replied. "I knew that I forgot something."
"How you find our address?" Ling-Ling asked Fernando.
"Ellody told me since she's come here once before." Fernando replied.
"Yeah, she and I did a science project together." Mike reminded.
"Th-Th-Thanks again..." Foxxy said to Fernando as she just looked at him as her tail wagged again.
"Oh, it's no problem at all," Fernando smiled. "Mm... Those milkshakes look good."
"Uh... Milkshakes...?" Foxxy asked.
"The ones Clara made, get your mind out of the gutter." Mike nudged with a whisper to her foster mother.
"Oh... Yeah... Yeah... Those milkshakes." Foxxy smiled bashfully.
Mike just gave her a smirk as she knew that the fox woman had a thing for him.
"Would you like one?" Clara asked Fernando.
"Hmm... I suppose I could take one." Fernando smiled.
"Especially when someone like you has to work hard under the-" Clara began, but it was going to be a negative stereotype, knowing her.
Mike shook her head and gestured to the princess to not say anything.
"I mean, here you go," Clara said. "It's really good."
"It looks good, muchos gracias." Fernando smiled as he drank it.
"Uh, you're welcome." Clara smiled back.
Foxxy was still staring at him, trying to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.
"You have a wonderful home." Fernando said to the housemates.
"Oh. Well, thank you." Clara smiled to that.
Fernando smiled to all of them as he had his own milkshake.
"He seems nice." Xandir commented.
"I feel like I've seen him from somewhere before," Spanky replied. "Maybe I'll figure it out later."
Fernando soon finished his milkshake. "Ah, thank you, Princessa Clara, that was very good."
"Thank you, I appreciate that." Clara smiled with a light blush on her face.
"I should get going." Fernando said.
"D-D-D-Don't you want to stay for dinner?" Foxxy asked him nervously.
"Oh, I don't know... I should get back to Ellody..." Fernando said. "I couldn't impose."
"Well, why don't you invite her over too?" Wooldoor suggested. "Any friend of Mike's is welcome into our home."
Mike smiled as she felt touched by that.
"Hmm... Let me call Ellody, excuse me a moment." Fernando smiled as he took out his own phone to call his niece.
"Sure, take your time." Clara replied.
Fernando then went to make a phone call.
"Why did I beg him like that? I'm so stupid!" Foxxy groaned.
"It's okay, Foxxy, everybody makes mistakes, especially you." Toot replied.
"Thanks, that makes me feel so much better." Foxxy deadpanned.
"Perhaps I can help you out a little?" Clara offered.
"Really? How?" Foxxy replied.
"Oh, it's very possible of course!" Clara beamed as she stood up and soon broke out in song which made her forest animal friends come out as she broke out in song since she was a Disney Princess.
Leah cooed and giggled before clapping as she enjoyed the song.
"Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage, Impossible, for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage, And four white mice will never be four white horses!~" Clara sang as she soon came towards Foxxy to give her a Disney Princess makeover, dragging her off slightly into the bathroom. "Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is- Impossible! But the world is full of zanies and fools, Who don't believe in sensible rules, And won't believe what sensible people say, And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes, Impossible things are happening every day~"
"Oh, sure, now you acknowledge the black Cinderella movie with Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother." Foxxy deadpanned to the song Clara sang.
"Trust me, he will like you." Clara smiled.
"You gonna try singing a different song?" Foxxy rolled her eyes.
"Ooh... Here's a good one... You're gonna have a little Disney makeover." Clara smiled.
"Uh, I'm not sure if a Disney makeover is necessary." Foxxy shrugged.
"Well, Foxxy, your clothes are a bit revealing for a new friend to come over." Clara said.
"But there's nothing wrong with the outfit I have on." Foxxy defended.
"It's too revealing, trust me, I know best..." Clara smiled as she decided to give Foxxy a makeover. "My nanny used to sing this to me when I was a little girl."
"Oh, brother..." Foxxy muttered.
"Have no fear, we're all right, You've got me, dear, to see that you're a lady tonight~" Clara began to sing while giving Foxxy a makeover. "What seems strange, is just new, People change everyday 'til they find their own way, so can you~"
"Why am I doing this?" Foxxy complained to herself.
Mike looked over to see that Clara was giving Foxxy a makeover.
"Help me." Foxxy whispered in desperation.
"And wait 'til he sees you after your dressed, I think this man will be very impressed, Wait 'til he sees you walking with ease~," Clara sang as the animals began to help her dress Foxxy up a little. "He'll be so pleased you came down from the trees, You'll be fine, I can tell, It's a very good sign that you're doing so well, One more tuck, one more bow, Don't get stuck on that clasp, You're very lucky this man has nowhere else to go, 'Cuz wait 'til he sees you, he'll be so proud, Maybe he'll smile if he thinks he's allowed, Wait 'til he sees you there in your curls, Lots of men have always had such a fondness for girls with curls~"
"Okay, Clara, I think if Fernando really likes Mama Foxxy, he'll like her for the way she is." Mike suggested.
"Thank you, honey child." Foxxy replied.
"I just don't think Foxxy should wear clothes like this around someone new." Clara said.
"Clara does have a point about that," Mike said. "Mama Foxxy, maybe tomorrow you could wear something that doesn't show as much skin."
"All right, you win." Foxxy rolled her eyes to that.
"I'm just trying to help you out so that you don't get hurt." Mike told her.
"Ah, please, when have I ever gotten hurt from a guy?" Foxxy replied.
"Well-" Mike paused at first.
"Don't answer that," Foxxy cut her off. "I'll do it for you, baby."
"Thanks, Mama Foxxy," Mike smiled. "You're the best."
"I do have an outfit, though I haven't worn it in a while." Foxxy said.
"Wear that," Mike said. "I just think it might be a good idea to look presentable for Mr. and Mrs. Gecko."
"Not to mention it might help you not get killed by those wives from their husbands staring at you." Clara added.
Foxxy and Mike gave her a look from that.
"Sorry." Clara smiled sheepishly.
Foxxy then shook off the Disney Princess makeover she was given and went back to normal as they went back downstairs.
Fernando just came back himself then. "Sorry that took so long." he then said.
"It's all right, so what's up with Ellody?" Mike smiled.
"I called her, and we would both be happy to stay for dinner." Fernando smiled back.
"Great," Mike smiled. "Ellody's cool."
"Wonderful," Clara beamed to that. "I'll make enough for everybody!"
Mike cracked a small smile as Clara was living up to her promise of being nicer to everyone after she had been killed during their big adventure together with Lil's help.
Eventually, Fernando was being shown around the house by Mike while Foxxy was hiding away like a shy school girl.
"I don't think I've seen anyone this fixed on a guy since you went through that phase of liking Mike Jerowski." Xandir said to Toot.
"What can I say? He was the cutest boy in my school before I met you guys and went to Fat Camp." Toot smiled bashfully.
Leah babbled and laughed before she made a mess in her diaper. Toot and Xandir looked to each other after looking at Leah and then left to go change her while Foxxy was secretly watching Fernando and Mike.
"This is a very nice house." Fernando commented.
"Yeah, sometimes I think that when I graduate from school, I'm gonna move in here and start a new life." Mike replied.
"So, all of these people take care of you?" Fernando asked.
"Oh, yeah, ever since Mama Foxxy's adopted me," Mike replied. "They've always been so protective of me."
"That's nice, it must feel like a big family." Fernando said.
"It really does," Mike nodded. "They always say how I make a difference in their lives. Especially Ling-Ling, I like to travel around with him."
"You sound like those kids with their Pocket Monster things." Fernando chuckled.
"You mean like Pokémon?" Mike asked.
"Yeah. That's it." Fernando replied.
Foxxy was hiding around the corner, blushing. "Come on, Foxxy, you're better than this," she coached herself. "Papa didn't raise ya not to act like this."
"They can be pretty cool," Mike said. "I've met some with that Ash Ketchum kid."
Fernando smiled as he walked around with Mike.
"Oh... Hi..." Foxxy smiled innocently, standing in the door-frame as they passed by, making them stop walking. "I didn't see you there."
"Ah, Senorita." Fernando smiled back to her.
Mike looked at both of them and she smirked. "I better go help Clara in the kitchen," she then said on her way out. "But Mama Foxxy can show you around a bit. We have a hot tub outside." The tomboy then went downstairs to help the princess.
"Hot tub?" Fernando asked.
"Yes... Come with me..." Foxxy smiled lustfully as her tail twitched slightly.
Unknown to them, the housemates were watching them go outside.
"How much you wanna bet she's gonna mess things up?" Spanky asked the others with him.
"Sucker's bet, Pork Chop," Captain Hero said. "That's almost like betting against Kathie Lee Gifford not having a drink before The Today Show with Hoda Kotb."
"So you're scared to lose?" Spanky smirked.
"Oh, you're so on then, Bacon!" Captain Hero replied.
"A hundred bucks." Spanky grinned.
"I'll bet you my Hero Cave stuff." Captain Hero said.
"Who wants your crud anyway?" Spanky rolled his eyes.
"Mike does," Captain Hero replied as the tomboy walked over. "Right, Mike?"
"Uh... Sure?" Mike shrugged.
"See? That proves it!" Captain Hero smirked.
"How about this yearbook photo of you throwing up on Letta Lame when you tried to ask her to the big school dance?" Wooldoor smiled as he took out Captain Hero's old yearbook before he went to Superhero School.
"Uh... No, thank you." Mike said uneasily.
"Well, how about Captain Girl's outfit?" Captain Hero suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Mike rolled her eyes slightly.
"Awesome!" Wooldoor beamed. "Mike's in!"
"I hope she doesn't mess up." Mike whispered to herself.
Foxxy showed the superhero in civilian identity the backyard with the hot tub. "So, here's the hot tub." she then told him.
"Hmm... That must feel pretty nice," Fernando commented. "I'll have to remember my swimsuit next time."
"Or you could go skinny dipping." Foxxy whispered.
"What?" Fernando asked.
"Nothing?" Foxxy replied.
"Hm..." Fernando replied as he took off his shoes and rolled up his pants a little to put his feet in the water.
'Come on, Foxxy, say something.' Foxxy soon thought to herself.
Fernando looked over to Foxxy with a small smile.
Foxxy smiled back, though she was as nervous as a school girl. Her heartbeat was going fast as she bit her lip. "M-M-Mind if I join you?" she then asked.
"Hmm... Well, all right." Fernando smiled.
Foxxy then took off her own shoes and sat down next to him. The housemates were watching them on the roof with binoculars and they looked at each other.
*Confession Cam*
"Oh, yeah, she's gonna mess up." Spanky said.
"I'm so gonna win this bet." Captain Hero smirked.
"He's so dreamy~" Wooldoor smiled like a shy school girl.
"Finally, someone smart enough to know Ring-Ring no dog, but battle monster!" Ling-Ling beamed for himself.
"It's so nice that Foxxy finally has her own Prince Charming." Clara smiled.
"I can tell that he's the right one for her," Mike commented. "I just hope her feelings don't get hurt somehow."
"She totally loves him." Xandir smiled.
"Why not admit it? It's clear she's into him!" Toot muffled as she ate from a bag of potato chips.
"Fine, so I love him! Are ya happy, world?!" Foxxy glared.
*End of Confession Cam*
"You guys still do this?" Mike asked, feeling confused since Drawn Together was cancelled a long time ago.
"Sometimes, you could think of it as a Diary Room since we own this house now." Captain Hero replied.
"Oh, okay." Mike said, now understanding.
"Shut up, you guys! Something's about to happen!" Spanky told them.
The housemates looks down with their binoculars.
"Your housemates seem nice." Fernando commented.
"They can be," Foxxy shrugged. "Sometimes."
"Mike seems to like it here, she says it really feels like a family around here." Fernando said.
"I try my best," Foxxy smiled bashfully. "We had some good times in this house."
"Come on! Come on! Kiss already!" Captain Hero begged.
"Shh, don't ruin it, Captain SHE-Ro!" Toot glared.
"You shut up, Pillsbury Dough Broad!" Captain Hero glared back.
"Both of you shut up!" Xandir scolded them both.
"So, how long have you been living here?" Fernando asked Foxxy.
"A couple of years after I adopted Mike and we both moved in here." Foxxy replied.
"That's nice though," Fernando smiled. "I was very close with my sister before I moved out."
Foxxy smiled back she leaned closer to him, but it was too close so then, she fell into the hot tub.
"Goodness!" Fernando gasped.
"Uh... Just felt like having a swim before dinner..." Foxxy smiled nervously.
"Are you all right, Senorita?" Fernando asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Foxxy replied.
Fernando soon took her hand to help her back up.
Foxxy was soaking wet and smiled sheepishly at him. "Sorry, I can be such a klutz sometimes."
"It's okay, accidents happen to everyone." Fernando smiled.
"W-W-W-We better get back inside." Foxxy suggested as she smiled sheepishly to him as she went over, putting her boots back on.
"Well, all right, dinner's probably about ready anyway." Fernando smiled.
"Uh, y-yeah." Foxxy said.
They soon dried off and went back in the house while Mike and the other housemates watched them.
"Ha! They didn't kiss!" Spanky smirked. "Pay up, Hero!"
"Damn!" Captain Hero complained. 'Why do these things always happen to me?"
Spanky chuckled as Captain Hero gave him the money and the pig put it in his pockets. Mike just rolled her eyes to that.
"Dinner is served." Clara announced once they came to the dining room.
They were about to sit down and there was then the ringing of the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" Toot smiled as she put Leah in her highchair.
Leah looked all around with a smile before cooing and giggling to Fernando.
"Well, hello, there!" Fernando smiled to the baby girl.
"She's mine and Toot's daughter." Xandir told him.
"She's precious." Fernando smiled.
"Oh, thank you." Xandir smiled back.
Toot soon got the door and opened it all the way.
Ellody smiled as she soon came in and came to have dinner with the Drawn Together 'family'. "Hey, guys."
"Are you a Jehovah's Witness?" Spanky asked.
"Uh, no?" Ellody replied.
"Good. Have a seat then." Spanky told her.
Ellody rolled her eyes before sitting down.
"I hope everyone is hungry," Clara smiled. "I made turkey with mashed potatoes, corn casserole, dinner rolls, and for dessert, I made a strawberry shortcake."
Mike and the housemates drooled slightly over the food.
"Looks delicious." Mike commented.
"Well, everybody, let's dig in." Clara smiled.
"Don't mind if I do!" Spanky beamed.
"Hey! Ladies first, Piggy!" Toot glared at him.
"So you count?" Spanky smirked.
Toot punched him in the eye.
"Ow! Dammit!" Spanky complained.
"No fighting at the table, we have company." Clara told them.
"Yeah!" Mike then added.
Everyone then began to eat their dinner.
"Mm... Clara... This food is so deliciso." Ellody beamed.
"Why, thank you," Clara smiled. "My nanny gave me the recipe."
"Well, I'm glad you kept it." Ellody smiled.
Leah giggled as Toot was feeding her child while eating her food.
"Don't you love it, sweetie?" Toot cooed.
Leah cooed while nodding.
"So, you two think you might be in a movie?" Mike asked Foxxy and Fernando.
"I guess we'll find out tomorrow, it might be nice though." Fernando shrugged.
"What do you think, Mama Foxxy?" Mike asked.
Foxxy looked at Fernando with a smile.
"Mama Foxxy?" Mike called.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, hopefully." Foxxy replied.
"Nice to know you're focused." Mike smirked teasingly.
"So, Fernando, you married? Single?" Captain Hero asked.
"Si, I am single." Fernando replied.
Spanky nudged Foxxy and she then hit him to make him stop as that felt embarrassing.
"What kind of woman are you looking for?" Wooldoor asked him.
"Is this really appropriate dinner conversation?" Fernando asked. "I just never really thought about it before."
"Sorry about him, Wooldoor's just like that all the time," Mike said. "Try not to worry about it."
"I'm not sure what kind of woman I would date to be honest," Fernando shrugged. "Mostly if she were a good woman who was friendly, kind, funny, and enjoyed a little romance. Not to mention be a good positive female role model for Ellody."
Ellody smiled to that.
"Uh, excuse me for a moment, I gotta go to the bathroom." Foxxy said before she got up and went upstairs.
Mike hid a small glance to the others, blaming them for embarrassing Foxxy like that. "I'm gonna go check on her. Excuse me." she then told the others.
"If he knows who I am, then he won't like me." Foxxy sniffled as she sat on the bathroom floor, hugging herself while crying.
"Mama Foxxy? It's me?" Mike called as she came upstairs before coming to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
"Go away, I don't feel like talking." Foxxy sniffled.
"Aw, man, Mama Foxxy, don't cry..." Mike frowned.
"He won't like me once he finds out what I am!" Foxxy told her.
"Who said anything about that?" Mike replied.
"That's what he'll think of me once he knows more about me!" Foxxy said.
"Will you calm down? You're making a fret over nothing," Mike said. "I'm sorry the others are embarrassing you like this, it's how they are, I'll talking with them later, but please come back, Mama Foxxy."
Foxxy opened the door, wiping her eyes and pulled her adoptive daughter into a hug.
"Mama Foxxy, please don't cry," Mike said. "You just need to take some things slow with Mr. Escandon, he's just getting to know you."
"I know, baby; I just don't want to lose him, not like the other guys I've dated." Foxxy replied.
"I know, but you have to calm down and give this time," Mike said. "Let him get to know you, you guys can hang out tomorrow when we see the cast list. You have to take things slow and be cool about it. Rita told me that."
"Who's Rita?" Foxxy asked.
"She was an older cousin of mine in an old foster family I used to live with," Mike said. "She always gave me advice on boys and growing up since I didn't know about Jen at the time."
"Oh." Foxxy replied.
"Trust me, I don't think that he's the kind of guy who will treat you differently just because you're different." Mike reassured.
"Thank you, Baby." Foxxy sniffled and smiled to that.
Mike gave a small smile back and the two shared a hug with each other.
A while later, Fernando and Ellody went to leave after having dinner.
"It was really nice having you guys," Clara smiled to the man and teenage girl. "We should probably do this again sometime."
"We'll see." Fernando replied.
"It was nice staying over here." Ellody added.
"Si, it really was fun," Fernando smiled. "Adois, everyone, and I will see you tomorrow, Senorita Foxxy."
Everyone said goodbye while Foxxy just looked hopeful as Ellody and Fernando left the Drawn Together house.
"You two oughta be ashamed of yourselves!" Clara glared as she tugged on Spanky and Captain Hero by their ears.
"Ow!" Spanky yelped.
"What did we do?" Captain Hero added.
"You know what you did," Clara glared. "Humiliating Foxxy like that."
"But all we did was ask a question!" Spanky cried out. "We were only curious!"
"You still humiliated Foxxy, do I need to send you two to the Naughty Stool like with Supernanny?" Clara glared.
"No! No! Not the Naughty Stool!" Captain Hero cried out. "Anything but that!"
"Then apologize to Foxxy!" Clara glared. "We're not going to set a bad example for Mike!"
"Sorry, Foxxy." Spanky and Captain Hero soon said to the fox woman.
"It's okay, I guess..." Foxxy just shrugged.
"Now can you let go of my ear?" Spanky groaned.
Clara nodded and let go of their ears. Captain Hero and Spanky groaned, holding onto their ears now.
"Mike, are you gonna spend the night?" Clara asked the young tomboy.
"Uh, sure," Mike smiled to that. "If you guys don't mind."
"Of course not," Clara smiled back. "This is your home too after all."
"Well, all right," Mike smiled. "I do like to stick around here whenever I can."
Clara smiled back as the housemates were sitting down, watching TV until they were ready for bed.
"That was a nice dinner," Ellody smiled. "I think you made a new friend, Tio Fernando."
"Si, they were interesting characters," Fernando agreed. "Especially Senorita Foxxy."
Ellody smiled on the way back to her house with her visiting uncle.
It seem a peaceful night as everyone was turning in for the night. Gordon was trying to get some sleep while Louise looked worried about her husband.
"Don't worry, dear, I promise that I will help you in any way that I can." Louise told her reptile husband. She then went to sleep like everybody else did.
Foxxy was trying to sleep as she was tossing and turning, dreaming.
In Foxxy's dream, not surprisingly, Fernando was there since he was the object of her affections. Foxxy wasn't wearing her usual outfit, instead she wore a dark red dress with blue heels.
"Whoa, I don't remember having this dress." Foxxy commented.
Fernando appeared to be wearing a black suit with a red rose pinned to it.
Foxxy looked over and her jaw dropped. "Helloooo, Handsome!" she then howled and barked like a dog.
"Hello, yourself, Hermosa." Fernando replied with a small smirk.
"Damn, you look good!" Foxxy remarked.
"You don't say." Fernando smirked as he took her hands.
Foxxy's face turned red as her tail wagged excitedly.
Fernando and Foxxy soon linked arms as they came over to the night club owned by the one and only Bugs Bunny.
"Eh, what's up, Docs?" Bugs introduced. "How are you all doing tonight?"
Everyone then clapped and cheered.
"That's good, it's good to see such nice and wonderful faces out here," Bugs smiled. "...And Daffy."
Some of the audience laughed to that while Daffy crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
"You're despicable." Daffy glared.
"And tonight, we are celebrating a new couple." Bugs continued.
The audience then oohed to that.
"Introducing..." Bugs said with a drum roll before a spotlight shined down on said couple. "Foxxy Love and Fernando Escandon!"
Everyone cheered and clapped for them.
"That dude is one lucky man." Harold commented.
"Sure is." Matt added in agreement.
Foxxy blushed and smiled while Fernando smiled back to her.
"As a special gift for our brand new couple, we will have a special dance just for the occasion," Bugs said. "Hit it, Mojo!"
Mojo Jojo put in a CD which had some slow dance music. Foxxy and Fernando blushed to each other as they soon went to have their dance.
"I-I-I don't know how to slow dance." Foxxy said nervously.
"Just follow me," Fernando smiled. "I'll lead."
"Well, okay, if you insist." Foxxy shrugged.
The two soon moved out into the corner and began to dance as just about everyone was watching them.
"I-I can't believe that you liked me... Of all women..." Foxxy blushed to Fernando. "I'm nothing but a slut and trash... That's what most people think of me."
"I don't see that," Fernando said. "I see a desirable woman who deserves so much better in her life."
"You really think so?" Foxxy asked as she swooned while staring at him.
"I know so." Fernando grinned.
"Thank you." Foxxy sniffled before some tears ran down her face.
Fernando hugged her as they shared their very special dance, but of course, it was just a dream. "Mi Amor, let me kiss you." he then said to her.
"I would like that!" Foxxy gushed.
The two soon leaned in for a kiss. However, something seemed to happen and it seemed like the floor broke and split them apart as it broke in half. A voice was laughing and Foxxy looked around in a panic until she saw Katherine Thompson there making her life miserable.
"Nooooo!" Foxxy cried out.
Foxxy then woke up in a cold sweat, looking around. "Phew! ...It was only a dream..." she then sighed.
"Foxxy? You okay?" Toot asked as she was seen getting a midnight snack which was a bag of Funyuns.
"I'm fine, I just had a night-" Foxxy said before snapping, swiping the bag away from her. "HEY! Them's ain't your Funyuns! Them's Foxxy's Funyuns! What's wrong withchu?"
"But I got hungry and I needed a midnight snack." Toot defended.
"Eat something else!" Foxxy glared.
"I thought that might help wake you up; I'm a mother now after all and I know when someone's in danger," Toot said before she took out a whole cake before cutting a slice of the cake but then ate the rest of the cake. "Come on. Talk to me."
"I'm not sure if you'd even understand." Foxxy muffled as she ate her Funyuns.
"Come on, we're basically family," Toot replied. 'We can talk about anything."
Foxxy looked to Toot.
"Pweeeeease?" Toot cooed cutely with big puppy dog eyes with a small smile.
"How'd you do that?" Foxxy asked.
"Don't make this about me..." Toot narrowed her eyes.
"All right," Foxxy groaned. "I'll tell you about it."
"I'm all ears." Toot muffled.
"Ugh..." Foxxy groaned from her full mouth. "Anyway... Uh... I had a dream about, uh, Mike's friend's uncle."
"Fernando?"
"Yeah, him."
"Interesting." Toot replied.
"We was all dressed up and we went down to Club Paradise," Foxxy explained before she began to drool slightly. "Oh, he was so handsome in his suit... You should've seen his muscles, and he just smelled so good..."
"Foxxy! You're drooling!" Toot warned as she snapped her fingers in front of the other woman's face.
"Uh, sorry," Foxxy blinked. "I really like him, Toot, but... I don't know what I can do about it. I haven't been this crazy about a guy since I was a child."
"You mean when you met those Fat Albert guys?" Toot asked.
"No, nothing like that," Foxxy scoffed. "I hated those guys!"
"Oh." Toot replied.
"It was just perfect..." Foxxy said. "...Until she came around."
"Who?" Toot asked.
"Mike's old teacher, Ms. Thompson..." Foxxy grumbled.
"Oh, yeah, her," Toot said. "I was never too crazy about her when you invited me to come to Parent Teacher Night at Mike's school since her brother and sister had work to do."
"Well, she's worse than that," Foxxy replied. "Her mother killed my mama and sista."
"Why you thinking about her?" Toot asked.
"Well, how the heck should I know?" Foxxy rolled her eyes.
"You should tell Fernando how you feel," Toot suggested. "Just like I did with Xandir."
"I feel like it might be too soon, I might come off as clingy..." Foxxy said. "It's happened before."
"Why don't you hang out with him?" Toot suggested. "Get some lunch so that you guys can talk or something to get to know him better?"
"Hmm... That's not a bad thought." Foxxy had to admit.
"Who knows the boys better than I do?" Toot smirked.
"Thanks, Toot." Foxxy said.
"Meh, it's no problem," Toot said. "Like Mike once said, we're all basically family here."
"Well, don't do it again!"
"Okay, okay."
Mike seemed to overhear Foxxy and Toot, but had a small smile and went back to sleep as Toot was being such a good friend.
At the Gecko house...
"Gordon, darling, please try to calm down." Louise frowned to her husband as she held him in one hand and tried to rub his back with the other with her fingers.
"How can I calm down?!" Gordon replied. "Gaspar's actually has real actors and actresses from Hollywood in his movie!"
"Yes, but that's just to lure people in," Louise said. "Celebrities guest appearing is just bait to make more people pay attention to whatever's going on. I mean, no one really pays attention to children with cancer unless people like Robin Williams is sponsoring them."
"I guess so, but he just really gets my goat!" Gordon replied.
"It's all right, honey," Louise soothed. "Oh, my, you're so tense... I haven't seen you this edgy since you worked for GEICO before Martin took the job for you."
"I know, I know... I should've changed my name to Komodo Dragon or something." Gordon replied.
"Let's try to get some sleep, hmm?" Louise suggested calmly.
"I'll be right there, I'm going to get a glass of water." Gordon said before slithering out of her hand.
"All right, dear." Louise smiled.
Gordon soon came into the bathroom to get himself a glass of water in the sink, using a Dixie cup.
"Oh, poor Gordon... Just don't work yourself to death." Louise hoped.
Gordon took a drink before looking in the mirror. "You can do this," he told himself. "You're better than him!" Gordon soon went to join Louise to bed that night as he thought about all those times that Gaspar would show him up. "Well, not this time!" he then continued. "I will prove that I am better than him!"
Louise gently stroked Gordon's cold-blooded skin while she slept. Gordon smiled to that before he soon fell asleep until the next day.
