"That adventure makes me wanna brush my teeth." Cherry muttered from the sugary sweetness of Candy Land.
"Just wait 'til you meet the Care Bears." Drell said.
"That's kid stuff," Cherry replied. "Care Bears aren't real." She would be proven wrong later on.
"Now... If you'll all excuse me... I'll call you later..." Drell told them as he magicked up a bowling ball. "I gotta go."
"Um, good luck." Atticus said politely.
"I'll deal with you after the game." Drell told him before teleporting away.
"Ooh... Busted... Ooh~" Cherry smirked to Atticus.
"Oi." Atticus groaned.
Cherry chuckled to him with a small smirk.
"You don't know I'm in trouble, it could be you." Atticus smirked back.
"...He looked at you...?" Cherry replied nervously.
A random message soon appeared and when Cherry opened it she smirked at Atticus as she had him read what it said she looked smug. "'Atticus, report to my office immediately, or else'." Atticus read aloud.
"I guess you are busted." Cherry smirked.
"Dang it." Atticus sighed before teleporting away.
Cherry chuckled a bit while she stayed behind with the others who gave her a look and she then cleared her throat with a nervous smile as that seemed like an inappropriate response.
Meanwhile with Atticus as he appeared in Drell's office.
Drell looked over his paperwork as Atticus soon came inside and sat down in the chair in front of the warlock's desk. "How do you feel?" he then asked him.
"This place scares me." Atticus replied.
"Perfect." Drell smirked.
"So, um, why did you want me here?" Atticus gulped.
"Well, I'm a little mad you interrupted my one night off during the week while with the other Supernatural Figures." Drell began.
"I am so sorry." Atticus told him.
"You also talked back to me." Drell said.
"When did I do-" Atticus began to ask.
"You also in interrupted me."
"I'm sure I didn't mean to-"
"You wouldn't listen to me."
"When didn't I listen to you?! And as for interrupting you, when did I do that?! And when did I talk back to you?!" Atticus glared.
"Right now." Drell smirked.
"Touche." Atticus groaned.
"How inconsiderate the future is." Drell sighed.
"Ugh..." Atticus sighed. "Whatever punishment you wanna give me, just get it over with. Just don't take it out on the others."
"Hmm... I guess you could keep an eye on my niece when she gets to her new school..." Drell replied. "I found a school with a group of kids I think she can befriend. She's a sweet girl, but she could use some friends her own age, it's hard for her to make friends in The Other Realm."
"Yes, sir." Atticus said.
Drell then slid over a class picture from the school he wanted his niece to join. "Miss Othmar's third grade class." he then said.
"Let me see," Atticus said before taking a look at the students. "Wait a sec... This is Charlie Brown and his friends!"
"Ah, so you've met them." Drell said.
"Yeah," Atticus replied. "Darla's friend Amber made it to a spelling bee competition, and met them, then my little cousin Dot wanted to go to a place called Camp Remote. Boy, those 'We're number one' campers were such jerks!"
"I bet you showed them up." Drell smirked.
"Oh, Drell, you should've seen it!" Atticus smirked as he stood up in the chair, shaking his fists. "I showed them a thing or two, especially when they pushed around Dot and made her cry! Nobody messes with MY family, especially with my favorite little cousin! Oh, we smoked those bullies like hot dogs on a campfire!"
"That's what I thought." Drell smirked back.
Atticus looked over and soon sat down, clearing his throat. "Erm... I handled it like a mature adult," he then said, trying to sound grown-up. "So, uh, why hasn't Phoebe gone to school before?" he then wondered.
"Well, it's mostly because of her magic," Drell replied. "Her parents thought of sending her to Spellementary School, but... Well... It's just hard to get Phoebe to sit down and focus for a long time, so that's why we had to give her a tutor who would come and see her, but he finally had enough. I'm not sure about sending her to school, but I feel like that might be the only option for her."
"Sounds like it." Atticus said.
"Hard to say when her first day will be though," Drell replied. "What with the winter season coming, and there's already a new student going to join that class as well. I believe her name is Heather Wold, she's a cute little redheaded girl."
"I have a feeling Charlie Brown will fall head over heals for her." Atticus said.
"Maybe..." Drell replied. "She is kinda cute for a little girl."
"Do you have a photo of her?" Atticus asked.
Drell took a look in his files before taking out a picture of a cute little redheaded girl who was around his niece's age.
"Yep, Charlie Brown is definitely gonna fall in love with her." Atticus guessed.
"I think so too," Drell replied. "So, think you can keep an eye on my niece?"
"I'm sure I can," Atticus shrugged. "How hard can it be?"
"She's my niece." Drell reminded.
"Um... Right..." Atticus replied. "At least she's not like Sabrina's cousin, Amanda... I still remember that time she tricked us into becoming her dolls and she was gonna keep us there forever. That girl is just as wicked as Ethel Hallow from Miss Cackle's Academy."
"No argument here." Drell said.
"You don't even like Amanda?" Atticus asked.
"NO ONE likes Amanda!" Drell replied. "Every Halloween I go out with the Spellman family for the reunion, I just wanna vaporize that little snot!"
"Yikes." Atticus winced.
"Erm... Sorry..." Drell smiled bashfully, tapping his knuckles together. "I guess my ego got in the way again."
Atticus playfully rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, be ready when the time comes." Drell said.
"When will that be?" Atticus asked.
"And your time is up." Drell said before sending him back home.
"Whoa!" Atticus yelped.
"Bye~" Drell smiled and waved.
"I hate it when you do this!" Atticus cried out and soon came back home with the others.
"So, how did it go?" Mo asked.
"Pretty much, we're babysitting Drell's niece in school," Atticus replied. "On the plus side, she might be going to school with Charlie Brown and his friends."
"That is a plus side." Patch said.
"Maybe you can hang out with Snoopy." Atticus smiled.
"Yeah." Patch smiled back.
"Well, I'm going home." Cherry said.
"Isn't this your house?" Atticus smirked.
"...Good point," Cherry replied. "You're going home."
"That's right." Atticus nodded.
Cherry hid a small smirk.
"Looks like the kids might be due for a snow day sometime soon." Atticus smiled.
"Looks like it." Patch said.
Everyone soon went their separate ways as they finished another adventure, though Cherry wondered more about Vanellope and Ralph, but that would have to be another story for another time.
The End
