The others followed the pug dog as there was a carnival being set up on the island.

"Ooh." Weenie smiled.

"Wow..." Jenny was amazed. "It's like a fairy land."

"Yeah." Estelle smiled.

"Let's check it out." Akito suggested.

"Okay." Vincent said.

The kids then went with their pets and Pokemon to check out the carnival as it was being set up.

"This carnival is unlike anything I've seen." Teddy said.

"It looks like a ton of fun." Vulpix smiled.

"Totally." The female Ralts smiled back.

"Come on then, let's go!" Estelle said before pouting. "Um, if we're allowed to that is."

"Oh, come on, who'll stop us?" Eloise laughed. "Now come on, guys, let's go, go, go!"

"Yeah!" The male Ralts smiled.

Everyone then ran all around to explore the carnival. There were a few animals shown, such as a blue ferret, a cow, and a couple of dogs. Scruffy and Dot decided to meet the dogs.

"I wonder if they do an act." Dot said.

"I'm sure they do if they work here." Scruffy replied.

"Hello, fellow canines." Dot greeted the two dogs.

"Oh, hello there!" the first dog smiled.

"You here to enjoy the show?" The second dog asked.

"Oh, you guys are show dogs?" Scruffy asked.

"Indeed we are," the first dog smiled. "The name's Dirk the Dachshund."

"Nice to meet you." Dot smiled.

"And who are you?" Scruffy asked the other dog.

"Rodrigo the Chihuahua at your service.' the other dog smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." Dot smiled.

"I'm Dorothy." the cow introduced herself.

"The name's Shackleford," the ferret smirked as he climbed over to see the puppies. "We're Larry's Amazing Animals."

"It's nice to meet you all." Dot smiled.

"So, you kids want the carny lifestyle?" Shackleford asked.

"Oh, no, we're just looking." Dot replied.

"Yeah." Scruffy added.

"You seem strong for a pup." Rodrigo smiled to Scruffy.

"Thanks," Scruffy said. "I get that a lot."

"I'm strong too." Rodrigo smiled.

"How strong?" Scruffy smiled.

"I lift weights, come watch the show and find out." Rodrigo replied.

"Interesting." Scruffy smirked.

"We will watch the show." Dot smiled.

"Suit yourself," Rodrigo smiled back. "We hope you enjoy it."

"I have a feeling we might." Scruffy smiled.

Dot then smiled as they saw the other animals.

"What are you kids doing?!" a man's voice called.

"Gotta skitter!" Eloise said quickly.

They all soon ran for their lives.

"Wait up, guys!" the Pokemon rushed after their humans with the pets.

"Can this get any worse?" Vincent asked.

"I think we're safe now." Snow White said as she latched onto his head.

Vincent pulled off his kitten and held her in his arms, gently petting her to calm her down from fright.

"I think we lost him." Estelle said.

"You okay, girl?" Vincent asked.

"I think so..." Snow White gently purred. "I wake up from my nap and this is where it gets me..." she then yawned. "I'm going back to sleep."

"You really need more exercise..." Vincent sighed to his kitten.

"Yeah, yeah..." Snow White fell asleep.

Vincent sighed and rolled his emerald eyes at his kitten. There were other kids who were coming by the carnival and looked excited to come check it out.

"Should we get back to the adults?" Jenny asked.

"Probably." Vincent agreed with that.

"But what about the show?" Dot asked.

"We'll come back later when they're done setting up," Felicity suggested. "It might be a good idea so we don't interrupt anything."

"Oh, alright." Dot pouted.

The kids, Pokemon, and pets then came over to their parents and guardians.

"So, we're decided on which houses we'll try, right?" Drell asked.

"That's right, we'll split up by our families, but you will stay with Eloise since Darla and Nanny aren't here." Cherry replied.

"Yes, I will." Drell nodded.

Eloise glanced up at Drell as Weenie stayed by her side. The three groups then split up to settle in.

"You can stay with us, Jenny," Mo said to the redheaded girl. "You are close with Estelle."

"And Vincent." Akito smirked.

Vincent soon blushed at the mention of Jenny.

"Hopefully there's enough room." Jenny smiled.

"I'm sure there is." Estelle said.

The Fudo family then went in with Jenny to the one house and they rented it out and made it a lot like their house back at home so they would all feel comfortable enough. Atticus even used his magic to make Jenny's room to be just like hers back at home and it would be like she was living with them.

"Thanks, Detective Fudo." Jenny smiled.

"You're welcome, Jenny." Atticus smiled back.

"And look at the house next to ours with the big doghouse." Estelle said as she looked out the window.

"That must be where that big red dog lives," Akito said as he looked with her. "I hope they have kids too..."

"Oh, I'm sure they do..." Atticus said knowingly after remembering his vision about Clifford the Big Red Dog.

"I wonder if he's home?" Dot said.

"Curious, aren't we?" Mo giggled to the kids. "You seem as curious as our old friend George."

"Who?" Snow White asked.

"Those stories about our monkey friend from the city who became friends with the man in the yellow hat." Atticus said.

"Oh, I love those ones, especially when George was almost in space." Akito chuckled.

"Same here." Estelle smiled.

Scruffy soon opened the window to get to their neighbor. Dot joined him.

Scruffy jumped down and hit the ground, but then shook himself and rushed over to the neighboring house.

"Oh, Horace, we have even more new neighbors." a kindly woman smiled.

"Better not be like that Clifford..." a grouchy older man grumbled.

"Oh, Horace, don't worry; besides, I don't think there could be any dog as big as Clifford." The kindly woman assured her husband.

The grouchy man grumbled. Scruffy and Dot then looked up and saw the enormous doghouse with Clifford's name on it. Inside they could see sets of stairs with many pictures of the big red dog with a blonde girl in pink and black clothing.

"Whoa, this doghouse is amazing." Dot smiled.

"Wow, there's a lot of storybooks here," Scruffy looked in one drawer. "A dog named Speckle, he has friends named Reba the Rabbit, Darnell the Duck, Robbie the Panda, and Luna the Raccoon."

"Cool," Dot smiled. "I wonder when he'll be back?"

Scruffy only shrugged.

Weenie came over to see them. "There you guys are!"

"Hey, Weenie." Scruffy and Dot greeted.

"Whoa..." Weenie looked around. "So this is what a doghouse looks like."

"Well, this is what a big doghouse looks like." Scruffy said before he saw a big shadow overcast them.

"Well, it's pretty cool." Weenie had to admit.

The three then noticed the shadow and turned around to see the big red dog of Birdwell Island.

"H-H-Hello." Dot smiled.

"Erm,... Greetings... Friend..." Scruffy smiled nervously himself.

"Friends?" Clifford smiled. "Darn pleased to meet ya!"

"Nice to meet you too." Weenie smiled back.

Clifford then lowered slightly to them. "I don't think I've seen you guys before, were you with that poodle that Cleo was with earlier?"

"Yeah, that's Georgette, turns out she and your friend are sisters." Dot replied.

"Yeah." Scruffy said.

"What a small world," Clifford smiled. "Have you met my other friend T-Bone yet?"

"Don't think so, but he sounds cool." Scruffy licked his lips since the mentioned dog shared a name with steak.

"He sure is, and lots of fun too." Clifford smiled.

Scruffy, Dot, and Weenie smield back to Clifford.

"You know, my brother is super-strong." Dot smiled.

"Oh?" Clifford asked.

"I bet I could lift your house." Scruffy smirked.

"How's about you just lift me up?" Clifford suggested.

"Oh, you're on!" Scruffy laughed as he came to Clifford's side.

"Believe it or not, but I wasn't always this big," Clifford smiled. "I used to be the runt of my litter."

"No way!" Dot couldn't believe that.

"Really, I used to be much smaller." Clifford said as he now laid down for Scruffy to lift him up.

Scruffy then came to one side. "Really?"

"Yeah, a lot of people say that Emily Elizabeth's love for me helped me grow." Clifford replied.

"Well, love is the most powerful magic of all." Dot smiled.

Clifford then felt himself being lifted off the ground. "Are ya doing it?!"

"Yep!" Scruffy smiled as he lifted up the big red dog.

"Whoa!" Clifford smiled back. "You weren't kidding."

"Da da da da da da daaa!" Scruffy hummed the Superman theme with a laugh.

"Okay, okay, you can put me down now." Clifford laughed.

Scruffy smiled and gently put Clifford down. "There we go."

"Wow, you weren't foolin'," Clifford smiled down to his new friend. "If Daffodil could see me now."

"Who's Daffodil?" Dot asked.

"Emily Elizabeth's pet rabbit." Clifford said.

"Oh, where is she?" Scruffy asked.

"Oh, she doesn't live here..." Clifford said. "She went to sleep one night when we still lived in the city and never woke up."

This caused for Scruffy, Dot, and Weenie to become sad as they knew what that meant, but Clifford didn't seem to know what it meant.

"By any chance, did Emily Elizabeth cry when Daffodil never woke up?" Scruffy asked.

"Yeah, I never really understood why." Clifford replied as he sounded mysterious now.

"Um, Clifford, I'm afraid Daffodil might have died." Dot said as gently as she could.

"Died?" Clifford asked.

"Yes..." Scruffy said softly himself. "I-It's when someone goes to sleep and they don't wake up... They... Stop living... I-I'm sorry."

"Um, do they also stop b-breathing?" Clifford asked, frightened.

Scruffy, Dot, and Weenie slowly and sadly nodded.

"I... I thought she just had trouble waking up..." Clifford frowned. "I tried to cheer up Emily Elizabeth, but she wasn't the same for a while... Even Norville, Flo, Zo, and Jorge were a little distant after that day."

"Friends of yours, I'm guessing." Weenie said.

"From the city," Clifford replied. "Norville was a bird, Flo and Zo were kittens, and Jorge was another dog. There were also these mice who lived in the walls of the apartment and they were a family."

"Sure wish we could bring them here so then they could meet your new friends." Scruffy said.

"Maybe someday." Clifford replied.

"Yeah." Dot agreed.

"Clifford?~" a young merry female voice called.

"Emily Elizabeth!" Clifford beamed.

"You better then go to her." Scruffy smiled.

Clifford rushed over with a smile to a young blonde girl.

"There you are, boy." Emily Elizabeth giggled and hugged her dog.

"That must be her." Dot smiled.

"She seems nice." Scruffy smiled back.

"Yeah." Weenie agreed.

"Well, we better get back to the others." Dot said.

"Come on then." Weenie said as Clifford was with Emily Elizabeth.

"Wanna go to the carnival, boy?" Emily Elizabeth smiled to her pet.

"Yeah!" Clifford smiled in Dog language.

Emily Elizabeth giggled. "Let's go meet them."

Clifford agreed as he carried her on his back to meet their human friends.

Emily Elizabeth giggled. "Let's go meet them."

Clifford agreed as he carried her on his back to meet their human friends.

"Mom, Dad, can we go to the carnival?" Estelle asked.

"Of course, it sounds like a lot of fun." Mo smiled.

"Yay!" The kids cheered.

"Drell!" Atticus called.

Drell came over. "Yes, my so-Erm... Friend...?"

"Mind taking our kids to the carnival?" Atticus asked.

"Taking your kids to the carnival?" Drell sounded annoyed.

"Can you take it?!" Atticus challenged about Drell putting up with kids like Eloise.

"I can take it." Drell narrowed his eyes in determination.

"Then prove it." Atticus smirked.

"I will!" Drell challenged.'

"Do it then." Cherry said icily and stoically.

"Fine, I will." Drell said.

"Okay." Atticus smirked.

"Come on, kids." Drell called to the children.

"Coming!" The kids, pets, and Pokemon called back.

Drell rolled his eyes as he walked out with the kids. The parents just laughed at the idea of Drell being a babysitter.

"How long do you think he'll last?" Mo asked.

"I give him an hour." Atticus said.

"I give him eleven minutes." Cherry replied.

"I say he makes it through the carnival." Mo said.

"I agree with Monique." Forte agreed.
