The next day everyone was in the auditorium at the community center, waiting excitedly for the cast list.

"Gosh, I wonder who's gonna be Nyssa and Raphel?" Justine beamed.

"Who knows?" Justin replied.

"Well, I hope to get the part of Raphel." Eddy grinned.

"Please, you'll probably get the part of one of Selena's henchmen." Jo replied.

"And why is that?" Eddy glared.

"Because you're short." Jo smirked.

"I am not short!" Eddy glared.

"Have you seen yourself?" Jo rolled her eyes.

"My parents say I'm due for a growth spurt any day now." Eddy retorted.

"Yeah, when you're about 40." Jo replied.

"Ah, you're just mad because you won't get to be Raphel." Eddy rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, that's it." Jo deadpanned.

"I just hope that I get to be Ms. Love's Raphel." Eddy smiled hopefully.

Jo just rolled her eyes to that again.

"Hey, El, I tried to call you last night, but you didn't answer." Jade said as she came to her smart friend.

"Oh, sorry about that," Ellody replied. "My uncle and I had dinner at the Drawn Together house."

Almost everyone gasped in surprise and shock as they surrounded her.

"How was it?" Gwen asked.

"How many minutes did you stay there?" Becky asked.

"Do ya have any battle scars?" Scott asked.

"Did they use any weapons on you?" Buttercup asked.

"No. They turned out to be very nice." Ellody replied.

"Why did you go?" Bubbles wondered.

"Because I was invited...?" Ellody replied.

"Did Captain Hero take you to the cemetery?" Kaitlin asked.

"Did Toot try to eat you?" Sperg asked.

"Did Clara make racist comments to you?" Jimmy asked.

"Did Spanky make fart jokes?" Kevin asked.

"Oh, no, no, no, nothing like that," Ellody told them. "They were really nice."

The others looked to each other like they couldn't believe it.

"Can we talk about something else now?" Ellody replied.

"Well, I have one thing left to say." Kevin told her.

"And what is that?"

"You are one brave soul."

Ellody just gave them a confused look and looked over to see that Mike soon arrived.

"Baby, are you sure this outfit is okay?" Foxxy asked from behind the doors.

"You look great, Mama Foxxy," Mike smiled. "Come on in!"

Foxxy soon came in, wearing a short-sleeved jersey T-shirt with a number 1 on it with a pair of slightly longer shorts and her usual boots and hat with her hair worn in her ponytail to look more casual and less revealing than what she usually wore.

"So, that whore finally has some decency to wear casual clothes." Angelia commented.

"I'll bet you that it won't last long." Lauren scoffed.

Foxxy glared towards them, trying to keep herself under control.

"I thought you'd like that jersey." Mike smiled to Foxxy.

"Thanks, Baby." Foxxy smiled back to that.

Everyone still talked among themselves. Louise soon came out and put up the cast list with a small smile since everyone was eager to check it out.

Mike took a look at the cast list before smiling brightly. "Mama Foxxy, you did it!" she then cheered. "You got the part of Nyssa!"

"Oh, lordy! I don't believe it!" Foxxy beamed.

"Neither do we." Angelia and Lauren muttered.

"And you're gonna be even more excited," Mike still smiled. "Fernando even won the role of Raphel!"

"Oh, my..." Foxxy blushed. "Are you sure?"

"See for yourself." Mike pointed out.

Foxxy looked over and her eyes widened as the parts of Nyssa and Raphel were indeed her and Fernando. Fernando soon walked by.

"Fernando." Foxxy whispered.

"Looks like we're going to be co-stars." Fernando smiled.

"Uh, yeah," Foxxy blushed to that. "I'm excited."

"Real excited." Mike whispered to herself.

Foxxy nudged Mike who just smirked playfully.

"I don't get how she got the part." Angelia complained.

"She probably seduced them to win the part." Josee said to them.

"Like the nasty trash she is," Lois added. "It's no wonder that she can't keep her children anymore."

"Or maybe she's just talented enough to have the position and you ladies should watch your tones or you'll be asked to leave." Gordon scolded as he came right behind them, sounding angry.

"Whatever," Angelia replied. "I still think that Sarah should've won the leading lady."

"Or my little Anna Mae." Josee added.

"The Jester?!" Penn glared as he looked at the list.

"You are pretty funny." Cindy said to him.

"Why, I-" Penn glared before pausing. "Wait, was that a joke or a compliment?"

"A compliment," Cindy told him. "I think you're very funny, especially when you freak out and yell. That always puts a smile on my face."

"Aw, thanks, Cindy," Penn actually felt touched by that statement. "No wonder you're my favorite."

"Looks like I'm the cute little foster daughter that Nyssa and Raphel adopt in the end." Robin smiled.

"Looks like I'm the Library Kid that Nyssa meets too." Cindy added.

"Justin, look," Justine smiled to her brother. "We're the twins who help Raphel and Nyssa defeat Selena!"

"Isn't that a little on the nose?" Justin smirked playfully.

"Still, it's pretty cool." Justine giggled.

"Cool, I get to be Nyssa's friend on the way to her travels." Mike smiled to her own part in the movie.

"I'm the Reaper, I'm going to enjoy this." Grim grinned before laughing evilly.

Mandy rolled her eyes while Billy laughed stupidly.

"Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!" Lu gushed. "I get to be the princess!"

"Actually, Lu, your character is just a really rich girl." Mike clarified.

"Who cares? In a way, I'm still a princess." Lu replied.

"WHAT?!" Sarah glared.

"In your face, Sarah!" Lu smirked to her rival.

"Congratulations, Lu," Mike said. "At least you're not a boat this time."

"Not my best starring role." Lu rolled her eyes.

"This is impossible!" Sarah complained. "Then what role do I play?!"

"You're the dog." Mike replied.

"I'm serious!" Sarah glared.

"And so am I," Mike replied. "It's the role you were born to play."

"AT LEAST I'M NOT AN ORPHAN!" Sarah glared.

"Wow, so original," Mike rolled her eyes. "Man, Cindy, you're right, hearing the same insults over and over again feels old and meaningless after a while."

"Grandma told me that too." Cindy nodded.

"MY MOM AND I WILL SUE EVERYONE!" Sarah ranted. "YOU WILL ALL BE BROKE AND PENNILESS AND JOBLESS! ESPECIALLY YOU, BUTLER! I WILL LAUGH AT YOUR FACE WHEN YOUR FAMILY GOES BROKE!"

Cindy then duct taped Sarah's mouth shut. "Music to my ears." She then relaxed.

"Thank you, I needed that." Mike said to Cindy.

"We all did." Cindy agreed.

"Let's see who Selena is?" Mike suggested.

"Maybe it's one of the adult witches." Cindy replied.

"Good one." Mike laughed to that, taking it as a joke.

They took a look.

"Huh, this might be interesting," Cindy said. "It's Ms. Keane."

"Me? A villainess?" Ms. Keane replied.

"Come on, Ms. Keane, actors and actresses play against themselves all the time," Mike smiled. "It might be fun."

"Oh, I guess so." Ms. Keane smiled back.

"Check out who her henchmen are," Cindy looked at the list with a laugh before pointing at the four adult mean women. "It's those witches!"

"That suits them." Mike smirked.

"This just reminds me of auditions for plays in college." Ms. Winthrop smiled.

"I bet you were a great actress, Aunt Gina." Cody smiled back to her.

"Oh, yes, your mother and I just loved acting when we were younger." Ms. Winthrop smiled.

Cody smiled to his aunt.

"I guess I could act wicked just this once," Ms. Keane smiled bashfully. "I mean, the only time I have to get firm is when students like Mitch Mitchelson are acting up."

"It looks like I get to be Raphel's long-lost sister," Ellody smiled. "Sweet."

"Well, Mama Foxxy, it looks like you got your wish." Mike remarked.

"I sure did, Baby, I sure did." Foxxy replied.

"I knew it would all work out in the end." Mike smiled.

"Yeah~" Foxxy sighed dreamily.

"Now go ask him if he wants to hang out with you this afternoon so you two can get to know each other better." Mike advised.

"Um... Uh... Okay, shouldn't be too hard, right?" Foxxy replied.

"Before you go though, take a deep breath and take the plunge," Mike advised. "That's what Jen used to tell me."

"Okay," Foxxy said before she then took a deep breath and a slow exhale. "Well, here I go."

Mike nodded with a small smile.

"Congratulations on making it to the cast, Ellody." Fernando smiled to his niece.

"Gracias, same to you, especially on making it to Raphel." Ellody smiled back to her uncle.

"Aw, thank you." Fernando replied.

"Um, h-hey there." Foxxy said as she came beside Fernando.

"Huh? Ah, Senorita Foxxy." Fernando smiled.

"Could I talk to your uncle alone, please?" Foxxy asked Ellody.

"Oh. Sure thing." Ellody replied before holding in a smirk, walking away as she knew that Foxxy had a crush on her uncle.

"Is something the matter?" Fernando asked Foxxy.

"Uh... Nothing's wrong... I was just wondering... If... Uh... If maybe after rehearsal, you'd like to... I dunno... Hang out with me?" Foxxy soon asked.

"Hang out?" Fernando asked.

"Y-Y-Y-Yeah, just you and me so we can get to know each other better." Foxxy replied.

"Hmm... I'm sure that would be fine," Fernando smiled. "Did you have any place in mind?"

"Um... How about the Moon Café?" Foxxy suggested. "It's a bit more nicer than Pops' Diner."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Pops narrowed his eyes as he walked by randomly.

"That would be fine." Fernando accepted.

"G-G-G-Great!" Foxxy blushed.

"I look forward to it myself." Fernando smiled to her.

Foxxy smiled back before going to see the young tomboy. "He said yes, Mike, he said yes!"

"I know, I heard-Uh, I mean, I knew that he would." Mike replied.

"I'm so happy!" Foxxy beamed as she pulled her adoptive daughter into a hug. "I think that I might cry!"

"It's okay," Mike smiled. "I felt the same way once I met Lil. It took a while, but it was like my heart knew that she was the one for me. Then again, I had those times with Eddy and Otto... It's confusing at first."

"So, uh, you think that he might be the right one?" Foxxy asked.

"He might be," Mike replied. "I mean, he's the guy you asked for to treat you right."

"Right... He's just so... Oh, Lordy, I think I might faint..." Foxxy replied.

"Take it easy now." Mike said as she helped Foxxy into a chair.

"Thanks, Honey Child, I'm just so excited." Foxxy said.

"I'm sure you are, just remember why you're here," Mike said. "To become an actress."

"Right," Foxxy agreed before she looked over to see Angelia, Lauren, Josee, and Lois glaring at her. "Why are they looking at me like that?" she then asked.

"They're just bitter and jealous," Mike said. "Don't pay attention to them."

"Bunch of nasty ass bitches." Foxxy huffed to that.

"I can't say anything to Mrs. Hill or Mrs. Griffin though because I'm friends with Ed and Meg." Mike said.

"But you admit it, right?" Foxxy asked.

"Oh, no doubt about it," Mike replied. "Especially Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Griffin used to be pretty nice and stable, but... Something happened. I don't know what though."

"Well, I do know one thing for sure," Foxxy said. "If they lay one hand on my baby, I will rip them to shreds."

"I know you will." Mike replied.

"I want to say congratulations to all of you who made it into the movie." Gordon announced.

"Thanks for having us." Ellody smiled.

"My pleasure, young lady," Gordon smiled back. "Now, to those who didn't get to be in the cast are going to be some backstage helpers in making the movie."

The others smiled to that. At least they had something to do.

"Could I do catering?" DJ asked. "I have some great recipes."

"Me too," Ida smiled. "I saved some in mine and Granny's recipe box."

"Sure." Gordon said to them.

"Ooh, I want to do make-up and hair." Anne Maria beamed.

"Naturally." Gordon replied.

"This is gonna be better than Cartoon Cartoon Fridays: The Movie." Mike said.

"...You guys had a movie?" Cindy asked.

"Yeah, but it didn't go out on TV or DVD." Mike replied.

"How come?" Cindy wondered.

"We'd rather not talk about it." Mike told her.

Penn looked to Cindy, but she just shrugged.

"This might be a good time to go over some scenes," Gordon said as he took out his script. "Aha! Here's one. In this scene, we have Raphel take Nyssa to safety after he saved her from drowning so Nyssa, you'll be unconscious and Raphel takes you to a empty cave to keep you safe."

"Oh. All right." Foxxy blushed.

"Aaaand... Action!" Gordon called out.

Foxxy was seen lying down on the floor, acting like she just got out of the water while Fernando came to pick her up and carry her. 'Damn, just look at how strong he looks,' she then thought to herself. 'I bet he works out. And boy, he smells good! Really good. Foxxy, you're gonna make him all yours and those other bitches better back off of your man!'

Mike and Ellody decided to talk to each other while Fernando and Foxxy worked for the scene.

"Looks like we made it just in time... Come along, Nyssa, you'll be safe here." Fernando said before he soon bent down and scooped up Foxxy in his arms.

"So, she likes him?" Ellody asked.

"Oh, yeah," Mike replied. "Big time."

"Hmm... I see..." Ellody smiled. "Well, it would be nice. As far as I know, Tio Fernando's never had a real relationship before."

"Mama Foxxy's been looking around for someone who won't leave her or toss her aside like an old shoe." Mike said.

"Sounds like they might need each other then." Ellody replied.

"No doubt about that." Mike nodded.

Foxxy groaned, slowly waking up and looking around. "What happened?" she then asked.

"Selena happened." Fernando narrowed his eyes to set the dramatic mood.

"I remember running away from her henchmen, and I fell in the river before I ended up in this cave." Foxxy said to him.

"Si, and I saved you before anything worse happened," Fernando said. "It will take a while for us to get back home, but as long as we're together, we'll be safe and feel more at home."

"But you don't understand what she can do," Foxxy told him. "She's powerful."

"Don't think about that right now, right now, let's get you warm and safe inside before you get sick." Fernando said before picking up Foxxy in his arms.

"Y-Y-Y-You don't have to do this for me," Foxxy said to him. "You could've just let me drown."

"Don't talk like that," Fernando said as he carried her off. "You are better than you think you are."

"And... Cut!" Gordon called out. "That was brilliant, you two."

"It was my pleasure, Senor Gecko." Fernando smiled.

"Not bad on the first try." Gordon smiled back.

Foxxy was still blushing as she was still in his arms. Fernando soon set Foxxy back down on the floor once they were done with the scene.

'Damn, and I was enjoying that.' Foxxy then thought to herself.

"Your acting reminds me of soap operas I used to watch at home." Louise giggled to Fernando.

"Oh, gracias, Senora," Fernando said to her. "I took acting classes in high school, I guess they actually paid off."

"Okay, everyone, we'll take a lunch break and then we will come back later for more," Gordon said to his cast. "Sound good?"

"Sure!" Everyone else replied.

Gordon smiled to that and everyone soon went to have some lunch.

Cindy looked over the script before looking emotional. "Miss Nyssa, what's going on?" she then asked while practicing her acting.

"Wow, Cindy, you're actually pretty good." Julie smiled.

"All thanks to watching Lifetime and soap operas with my mom," Cindy smiled back. "That really helped motivate and inspire me."

"Wanna go out for lunch?" Julie suggested.

"Yeah, that sounds good." Cindy agreed.

Everyone had their lunch break as Gordon seemed to calm down a little.

"Ready to go, Senorita?" Fernando asked Foxxy.

"Y-Y-Yeah, let's go." Foxxy replied.

Fernando took Foxxy's hand and walked off with her while the women still looked a bit jealous.

"Aren't three of you married?" Mike deadpanned as she passed them.

"Shut up, you horrible trans-gendered brat." Lois glared.

"Oh, wow, that really hurts," Mike still deadpanned. "I think I need to get that burn checked out."

"You okay, Mike?" Jade asked.

"I'll be fine," Mike replied. "Man, this gender confused brat and orphan stuff is getting old."

"Ah, don't ya listen to those hags," Jade said. "They're just jealous because yer mama is better than they'll ever be."

"Thanks, Jade." Mike smiled to that.

"You want a hot dog?" Jade asked. "I hear ya like 'em a lot."

"Sure, sounds good, I used to eat these all the time." Mike smiled as she decided to get some hot dogs.

At the Moon Café, the two adults sat down, having lunch together.

"T-Thanks for eating lunch with me," Foxxy said to Fernando. "I really appreciate it."

"You looked like you could've used some time out." Fernando smiled.

"I'm just so excited about playing the part of Nyssa." Foxxy beamed.

"It does seem to be like a big honor." Fernando smiled to her.

"Yeah, it does," Foxxy smiled back before thinking to herself. 'Should I tell him who I really am?'

'Should I tell her who I really am?' Fernando then thought to himself.

"Can I get you folks anything?" Yuckie asked Foxxy and Fernando.

"We'll just have your special and two glasses of root beer." Foxxy said to him.

"Coming right up!" Yuckie replied.

Foxxy and Fernando smiled before looking to each other as Yuckie wandered off.

"So, Foxxy, mind telling me a little bit about yourself?" Fernando asked. "Like... Any brothers and sisters?"

"Well... I have one sister, but... She's not with us anymore." Foxxy said softly.

"Oh... I'm so sorry..." Fernando said.

"It's all right..." Foxxy sighed.

"I miss my sister very much too." Fernando then said.

"What do you mean?" Foxxy asked.

"My sister was murdered." Fernando told her.

Foxxy let out a small gasp.

"I found that out the hard way..." Fernando shut his eyes with a sigh. "Sometimes I just wish I could've been there..."

"Oh. There, there, sugah, it's not your fault." Foxxy coaxed.

"I miss her so much... I always see her though whenever Ellody smiles." Fernando replied.

"I know," Foxxy agreed. "Whenever I look at Mike, I see my sister in her sometimes."

This seemed to be working out very well as Yuckie came back with two specials and root beers like the two had ordered.

"Oh, gracias, these look amazing." Fernando smiled.

"Bon appetite~" Yuckie told them after serving them.

"Thanks." Foxxy replied.

"Enjoy." Yuckie smiled before walking away.

"Mi hermana was my best friend..." Fernando sighed. "I guess she just wasn't good enough for Uncle Ernesto... And he took us in when we were orphans."

"You were orphans?" Foxxy gasped to that.

"Si, our parents were killed from a hurricane," Fernando replied. "Mama and Papi told me to watch out for Carlotta and protect her, but... I failed."

Foxxy frowned to that as that sounded so sad.

Fernando just let out a sharp sigh. "But now, I'm going to help take good care of Ellody whenever I can."

"She needs you like Mike needs me," Foxxy said. "And I do whatever I can to help her and keep her happy."

"I suppose you could say that, si..." Fernando nodded. "I just don't want my job to get in the way."

"What is your job?" Foxxy asked curiously.

"Oh, um, it's, uh..." Fernando stammered to that.

"Come on. You can tell me." Foxxy said.

"Um... Volunteering Health Care..." Fernando said. "I help people out whenever they need it." he then said which technically wasn't lying.

"That's interesting."

"What about you?"

"Once in a while, I solve mysteries." Foxxy replied.

"Ah... You're a detective..."

"Something like that," Foxxy explained. "I used to be a musician back in the day with my band, The Foxxy Five."

"Hm... That name sounds familiar..." Fernando replied. "I think I heard a song on the radio once."

"We were all like sistahs... Until they got killed in a car accident." Foxxy frowned.

Fernando gave a small frown. "You had a rough life, huh?"

"Yeah... Don't even get me started on Foster Care." Foxxy sighed.

"Foster Care?"

"Before I adopted Mike, I had children of my own." Foxxy replied.

"Adopted?" Fernando asked.

"Natural from other relationships," Foxxy frowned. "Every time I thought I had a child I could keep and love and support all my own... They would be taken away from me... Apparently I'm unfit to be a parent."

"What?" Fernando asked.

"I miss them all with all my heart and soul, but I'm never allowed to see them again," Foxxy sulked. "I guess it's for the best though."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Fernando said.

"I guess that's just life... What can you do?" Foxxy replied. "It's okay, you can go walk out on me, I'll understand. Just like all the other men I've been with. I know I'm just a slut and pure trash."

"Don't say that about yourself." Fernando said.

"But it's true and you know it, so just get it over with, okay?" Foxxy replied.

"No, you're not." Fernando told her.

"That's what most men think of me." Foxxy sniffled and wiped her eyes.

"Who says that I did though?" Fernando replied. "I don't think that at all about you, Senorita Foxxy."

"Really?" Foxxy's eyes widened in shock. "You're not playin' with me?"

"Of course not." Fernando reassured.

"C-C-Could we talk about this in the alley?" Foxxy then asked. "I don't want nobody else to listen."

"Of course, Senorita." Fernando told her.

"Thank you..." Foxxy said before she ate a little bit more.

Soon enough, after they ate and paid Yuckie even giving him a tip and went to the alley so that they could be all alone together.

"Well, we're alone now," Foxxy said to Fernando. "I can now tell you how I feel about you."

"Oh, sure, go on ahead." Fernando replied.

"I li-... I li-... I like you!" Foxxy soon blurted out.

"Like me?" Fernando replied.

"I can't hold it in any longer!" Foxxy told him, holding him. "If you don't like me back, that's okay, but I just had to tell you. You are just the most amazing guy I have ever met."

"Really?" Fernando asked.

"Yes, I love you," Foxxy said with tears in her eyes. "You're a really special guy that I want."

"Hmm... That's funny..." Fernando replied.

"Funny?" Foxxy frowned at first.

"I was kind of hoping you felt that way..." Fernando smiled to cheer her up. "I didn't want to make a big fuss, but... I actually like you too, Senorita Foxxy. I was just trying to be patient and calm, my father raised a gentleman after all."

"R-R-Really?" Foxxy blushed. "You're not gonna toss me aside like yesterday's garbage."

"Why would I do that to such a lovely lady like yourself?" Fernando replied. "I would never do that to a goddess."

Foxxy swooned over as her legs began to feel like jelly as she pinched herself, making sure she wasn't dreaming. "Nope. Not dreaming." she then said to herself.

Fernando let out a small chuckle as that was kind of funny, but he wasn't laughing at her.

Foxxy gave a smile back and she got closer to him before asking, "You really think I'm a goddess?"

"A very beautiful one, mi amor." Fernando whispered sincerely into her ear.

Foxxy giggled and gushed as she felt so excited.

Fernando smiled to her as he was being truthful. "Now we can seal it with a kiss."

Foxxy squealed as her tail was wagging excitedly. The two soon began to lean in for a kiss that Foxxy had been waiting for since she had first met the man. It then happened as the two of them soon shared a sincere and loving kiss with each other. Foxxy nearly cried in the kiss and Fernando seemed to blush this time as they both enjoyed the kiss. It was clear then, they were both in love with each other which would be good news for everyone they knew, especially Mike and Ellody.

"That... Was amazing..." Foxxy beamed. "Is this for real real and not for play play?"

"This isn't a dream, but you sure are." Fernando smiled to her.

"I'm trying not to cry, but it's too late!" Foxxy said before crying out of joy.

"Oh, please don't cry, it's all right." Fernando comforted Foxxy.

"Sorry... It's just... You're the first man I've been with that makes me happy and comfortable." Foxxy sniffled.

Fernando gave a charming smile to that.

"Oh, Lordy~..." Foxxy swooned to that.

Fernando helped her up as she nearly fell because of weak ankles. "Please Senorita, let me carry you back." he then said to her.

"You can do whatever you want, Senor~" Foxxy replied.

Fernando soon came to Foxxy and carried her in his arms like during rehearsal.

'Oh, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, I did it!' Foxxy thought to herself in victory. 'He actually likes me! This is the best day ever!'

It seemed to be a great time between Foxxy and Fernando as they walked together, taking a stroll on the streets of Cartoon Network City before they would go back to see the others for Gordon's movie project.
