"What in the?!" Cherry looked around as they were suddenly in chairs.
"Hello," Drell greeted before getting grabbed by the neck tie. "Ow..." he then gasped and gagged as he was grabbed. And where he grew nervous as it was Atticus that grabbed him by his neck tie and didn't look happy.
"Heeey, Atticus..." Drell smiled shyly.
Atticus slightly growled. "Why do you want us here right now?"
"Hey, I'd never do anything to hurt you or your social life," Drell replied. "I just need you guys to go to the Australian Ocean."
"Okay? Why?" Atticus asked.
"Let go of me first." Drell said.
Atticus then let go of him and folded his arms. "What's this all about?"
"It involves a little clownfish, you have to help him so he can get home to his dad in the ocean before he gets taken away forever." Drell said.
"A clownfish, taken away forever?" Cherry replied. "Drell, you're not making any sense!"
Drell sighed before he showed them what he meant.
They were being shown a different ocean and were being brought to a sea anemone. A male voice kept wowing while the female voice merely agreed. There were two clownfish who were admiring the sight as they looked out into the open see by the reef.
"Yes, Marlin," the female clownfish said to her mate. "No, I see it. It's beautiful."
"So, Coral, when you said you wanted an ocean view, you didn't think you'd get the whole ocean, did you?" the male clownfish smiled back to her. "Huh? Oh, yeah. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man deliver or did he deliver?"
"Oh, my man delivered." The female clownfish smiled.
"And it wasn't so easy." the male clownfish replied.
"Because a lot of other clownfish had their eyes on this place." the female clownfish rolled her eyes.
"You bet they did, every single one of 'em." The male clownfish said.
"There doesn't seem to be a problem here." Mo said.
Drell then decided to fast forward a little with the clownfish couples' interaction and their over 400 eggs.
"Wow, that's a lot of eggs." Casper said.
"They've been busy." Cherry joked slightly.
The male clownfish then reminded the female about how they met and Drell let it go to normal speed right there as the ocean now seemed dark and empty. There didn't seem to be any fish out except for the clownfish couple.
"Where did everybody go?" the male clownfish wondered. He soon saw what scared off everyone except for himself and his wife. "Coral, get inside the house, Coral!" he then urged his wife as there was a hungry and vengeful looking barracuda in the distance.
He saw his wife look down to their eggs. He tried to stop her from going after the eggs, but she did that which made the barracuda swoop down after her and smacked the male clownfish into their home as it roared and went after the female clownfish and all of their eggs. Well... Almost all of them.
"Oh, dear..." Mo frowned.
"That's so devastating..." Cherry even sounded emotional.
They were then shown as the male clownfish cradled his surviving egg and named him Nemo.
"Okay, we'll go." Atticus said.
"It's very important." Drell nodded.
"Can we go in our mermaid forms?" Mo asked. "I mean, we'll be in the ocean after all."
"Of course and where Casper and Penny will have their own merpeople forms as well, along with Cody." Drell said.
"I'm going to be a mermaid?" Penny asked.
"Yes." Drell nodded.
"We'll see Cody again," Mo smiled to the girl, then looked to Drell. "Wait, you know Cody from Australia, Drell?"
"Yes." Drell nodded.
Penny seemed to blush at the mention of Cody.
"Well, let's just hope these fish don't freak out at the sight of mermaids," Atticus said. "By the way, I appreciate Penny becoming one too, she's our family now, you know."
"Yes, I know." Drell said.
Atticus was about to hug Drell.
"Ah, easy there, I have a bad back..." Drell stopped him right there.
Skippy quickly shook his head no with a smirk.
"You shut up!" Drell glared at Skippy.
"I think your back is fine." Cherry smirked at Drell.
Drell growled to them until Atticus tightly hugged him. Skippy and Cherry then shared a fist bump with each other. And where they weren't going to tell Atticus to ease up on the strength.
"Why are you so affectionate?" Drell groaned as he was held into a bone-crushingly tight hug.
"I just want you to know how much I appreciate you that and this is also for everything you've done to Cherry and Skippy." Atticus said while still hugging Drell with his strength.
"Oh, just let it go, my life is my own personal business!" Drell grunted.
"Nope, I'm not letting go." Atticus smirked as he tightened his grip a little.
Drell tried to move Atticus off. "Guh, your father was never this clingy!" He then soon felt this wasn't a hug it was a bear hug and where this soon gave him an idea why Atticus was tightening his grip and wouldn't let go so he had to make the one promise. "Let go! What do you want from me?!" He then soon saw Cherry and Skippy and soon had an idea what Atticus wanted.
Atticus kept hugging.
"You want me to be nicer to Cherry and Skippy?" Drell then weakly asked.
"Yes and that means no torturing them." Atticus said.
"For how long?" Drell then asked once he was freed and he hunched forward slightly.
"Hmm... How's about six months?" Atticus smirked.
"Six months?!" Drell's eyes widened, then smirked as he had a slight idea. "Very well..."
"Well that was easy." Penny smiled.
"Wait for it." Patch said, unconvinced.
Atticus looked to Drell. "What do you want, Drell?"
"What if we make this interesting?" Drell curled his finger in his hair.
"Oh, really? Like what?" Atticus asked.
"Hmm~..." Drell thought about it. "How about I stop hurting Cherry and Skippy for six months, and if I succeed, you have to be a girl for the rest of the year for my amusement."
"Why not let Atticus stay with you for a whole year?" Cherry laughed, thinking that was a funny joke.
"What an interesting wager..." Drell chuckled.
Cherry cupped her mouth as Atticus then glared down to her for bringing that up.
"That should do quite nicely." Drell smirked.
Atticus then took out a stack of papers and hit Cherry with them. "Bad girl, bad!"
"Ow, ow, ow..." Cherry winced.
"Well, you kids better get to the ocean." Drell smirked.
"Wait, wait, hang on a second, what if I win?" Atticus asked.
Drell thought about it, then laughed. "I'll fill in for the Tooth Fairy for the year."
"Excellent." Atticus smirked.
"Will you even wear her dress?" Cherry sneakily purred.'
"Why not?" Drell smirked. "I'm gonna win this bet anyway."
"Uh-huh, sure." Atticus smirked.
"What bet?" Penny asked.
"Never mind that now, for I shall send you to Australia right int othe ocean." Drell said.
"Whoa, wait a minute!" Cherry cried out about that being so sudden.
Drell ignored her and sent them all right into the Pacific Ocean without another word.
"To the ocean!" Patch smiled.
"Now, I can relax for a while..." Drell leaned back in his chair and slid off his shoes and wiggled his free toes. "Skippy, be a dear and massage my feet?"
Skippy smirked as he brought out a tape recorder and hit rewind before pressing play about the bet.
"Skippy, you are my assistant..." Drell reminded. "You are to do what I say, whenever I say."
Skippy smirked as he brought out a dress.
"Skippy..." Drell said in a firm tone. "I said I wouldn't hurt you..."
Skippy snickered.
"SKIPPY!" Drell yelled out.
Skippy then laughed manically as he forced the pink tutu dress onto Drell.
"Okay, okay." Drell groaned.
Skippy then stepped back with a giggle.
Drell glared as he was in a pink dress with a tutu, white tights and sparkling pink slippers with glittering white fairy wings on the back and had a shining silver princess tiara on top with a magic wand which had a tooth on it.
"I hate this bet." Drell glared,
Skippy giggled as he then took a picture.
Drell grabbed Skippy by his tie and breathed heavily. "You... YOU!"
Skippy soon brought out a crystal ball with it meant to call Atticus.
Drell smiled nervously, then let go of Skippy and gently patted the smaller man. "Easy, buddy, easy..."
Skippy began to smirk as he could get used to this. Drell sighed as he felt like this was going to be a long while.
