Arthur decided to clean up around the house and when he had Chester and Harold leave one room so that he could clean it, he went inside and he soon began to notice that Bunnicula wasn't in the room.

"I think that now would be a good time." Mo said.

Mina walked over, rubbing her arm.

"Mina, have you seen your pet rabbit?" Arthur asked.

"Uh... Well... Yes..." Mina said as that was partly true.

"Really? Oh, that's great," Arthur smiled. "Where is he?"

"Uh... Well... He..." Mina stammered. She looked to the group who gave her assuring smiles. "Dad... You know Bunsen?" she then asked.

"Yes, of course, the new transfer student." Arthur replied as he bought that lie like many mortals who were gullible about magic under their noses.

"Well... Bunsen is actually Bunnicula..." Mina soon confessed.

Arthur was confused by this before thinking it was his daughter's imagination again.

"He is!" Mina frowned.

"She's telling the truth, sir." Atticus added.'

"Oh, Mina, that's quite the imagination you have," Arthur chuckled. "Your mother was the same way when we were first dating."

"There has to be someway we can prove to you that she's telling the truth." Mo said.

Cherry suddenly had an idea and came outside.


Patch soon looked up and over at Cherry.

"Hey! Hey, shiny green tennis ball!" Cherry smirked, showing a ball to lure Patch inside.

"Ooh." Patch smiled.

"You want this? You want this ball?" Cherry asked as she waved the ball in her hand.

"Yes, Cherry, I would like the ball..." Patch said as he looked hypnotized by the ball.

"Go get it!" Cherry then pretended to throw the ball and hid it in her pockets like a lot of people did with their pet dogs.

Patch went to where Cherry had supposedly threw the ball.

"Dogs are so gullible~" Cherry smirked to that.

Patch soon heard that and rushed back to her. Cherry looked down to him.

"You didn't throw the ball, did you?" Patch asked, almost scolding.

Cherry blinked and then threw the ball that time. Patch soon went after the ball. Cherry snickered to that anyway.

"Patch, there you are," Atticus said. "Patch, speak."

"Hello!" Patch smiled.

"D-Did your dog just talk?" Arthur asked.

Patch grinned innocently. Arthur soon stumbled backwards and fainted from the shock.

"Guess that means he'll think it was a dream once he wakes up." Mo said.

"I should've known this would happen." Mina sighed.

"Mortals..." Drell grumbled and shook his head in annoyance. "What're they good for, am I right?"

Cherry soon came in with a bucket of water wake up Arthur. The others got out of her way.

"Man, this is kinda heavy..." Cherry said, but was able to carry it and soon splashed the water onto Arthur's face.

"Wah!" Arthur yelped and blinked, breathing rapidly. "Where am I...? What's going on?"

"Well, you fainted after you heard me talk." Patch said.

"What?!" Arthur yelped and passed out again.

"Get more water." Drell told Cherry.

Cherry groaned and she soon did as he asked of her. Atticus soon gave her another bucket of water. And where this went on for a few minutes. Cherry panted as going back and forth with water was exhausting to her.


"So... Bunsen is Bunncula...?" Arthur asked.

"Yes!" The others told him, a bit irked.

"And please don't faint." Mo groaned.

"Oh, my..." Arthur said softly, but luckily, he did not faint this time.

"Also, um, we're kind of thinking of spending some time together... Just the two of us..." Mina blushed to her father as she tried to explain herself.

"Now Arthur, remember what we talked about..." Drell reminded.

"I guess you are grown up..." Arthur said softly, unlike most fathers who flip out when their daughters become interested in boys.

"He's taking this remarkably well." Chester whispered to Harold.

"What?" Harold asked.

"Well, you know, Mina's becoming interested in boys..." Chester reminded. "Most dads freak out about this sort of thing."

"Ohh, yeah." Harold said.

"Well, I suppose I don't want to be like Mina's mother's parents..." Arthur said softly.

Drell looked over as even he didn't know about this.

"I'm not sure if I'll ever find a right time to tell Mina about it." Arthur frowned.

Drell soon made a gesture for the others to go and that he would take them back home later since Arthur clearly wanted to be alone. Atticus and the others nodded, understanding.


"You wanna talk about it, old man?" Drell smiled in comfort and support.

"Well... The Missus' parents didn't exactly like me..." Arthur frowned.

"How come?" Drell asked.

"I don't know," Arthur frowned. "They wanted her to marry the son of a family friend of theirs, but she didn't like him at all... We started seeing each other and we had a lot of fun. I can't help but blame myself sometimes, but she soon ran away from their home and decided to move in with me and we got secretly married, but they could never approve of us together."

"You did what made you and her happy and as for her parents, well, they should have been happy that their daughter married out of love." Drell told him.

"I suppose so..." Arthur sighed softly. "Mina doesn't even know this, so can I trust you to keep this secret?"

"I promise." Drell replied.

"Thanks." Arthur smiled.

"Think nothing of it." Drell gave a small smile back and patted him on the back.

"So, I guess you'll all be leaving then?" Arthur asked.

"In a bit, but yeah, gotta get the kids back home." Drell nodded.

"I understand." Arthur said.

"We'll keep in touch." Drell promised.

Arthur smiled before giving him a brotherly hug. Drell welcomed it, but soon let go so that he could collect the others before he took out a picture which made him smile warmly as that was one reason why he was anxious to get back home.


Once everyone was back in the vehicle, it was time to go back home. Cherry leaned over to see what Drell was looking at.

"Buzz off." Drell grumbled.

"Aw, it's Ambrose~" Cherry cooed. "He's so cute when he's not trying to squeeze my fingertips."

"Yeah, he's been a little bit of a handful." Drell smiled.

"He has blonde hair, but you and Hilda have dark hair..." Mo commented.

"I think he got it from Lydia," Drell guessed. "She was a blonde."

"Ohh." Mo said.

"Well, he's quite a handsome boy..." Atticus said. "Have you heard about Enchantra's baby?"

"Yes, it was a boy," Drell replied. "His name is Shinji."

"Whoa." Patch said.

"I think he kinda looks like a vampire." Drell said, showing the baby warlock who had black hair and pointed ears and seemed to have crimson-colored eyes.

"Whoa." The group said.

"Ooh, I can't wait for a babysitting mission." Cherry mumbled before cupping her mouth.

"How interesting..." Drell smirked to that.

"Me and my big mouth." Cherry groaned.


They soon rode back home.

"Way to go, Cherry." Mo glared.

"I was kidding!" Cherry cried out.

"And unfortunately, Drell took it seriously." Atticus sighed.

"I'm sorry!" Cherry told them before groaning. "Oh, why does everything have to happen to me?"

"Maybe it won't be so bad." Atticus shrugged.

"I guess not..." Cherry said as she flopped back. "I guess we've faced worse."

Soon, they were all brought back home and they all went to spend some time at their homes before they would see each other again in time for school.

The End
