Everyone soon went home, but when the next day came, they decided to throw a party to celebrate Granny being back to normal.
"Pinkie Pie would be over the moon excited about this party." Mo chuckled.
"I know she would." Patch agreed as they got ready.
Something soon started to glow and the door opened up to show Drell in his own animal form as he came over.
"What're you doing here?" Cherry asked him.
"Hi to you too." Drell muttered.
"Drell, what are you doing here?" Atticus asked him
"To bring you all home when this is over, and... Well..." Drell replied before looking to Cherry. "Um... Well, in the Netherworld, there's a special place I'd like you to visit."
"You're just gonna throw me into another adventure at the last minute." Cherry said, feeling like she already knew what was coming.
"Just listen to me, okay?" Drell said to her.
Cherry turned away from him.
"Cherry, I'm trying to help you, you're not making this easy, especially since your mother's making me be nice to you..." Drell said through his teeth, a bit anxiously.
"Whatever it is, just keep it to yourself for once!" Cherry glared with tears in her eyes. "I didn't even wanna come here, just to be reminded about Aunt Dorothy! It's been five years!"
"Uh, Cherry..." Drell said, a bit softly and uneasily, trying to hold in his anger from her interruptions.
Cherry frowned as she looked quite miserable.
"Will you LISTEN TO ME?!" Drell glared and made her be quiet.
Cherry soon looked at him.
"If you come with me, I'll show you something really nice, just SHUT UP!" Drell demanded until he realized what he said. "Uh, I mean... Please quiet down, my dear child..."
Cherry soon blinked as she soon stayed quiet.
"Now, as I was saying before I was crudely interrupted, I'm sorry, but no one can bring your Aunt Dorothy fully back..." Drell said to her.
Cherry looked to that and looked down.
"However," Drell soon continued. "Like we do with Sabrina's grandmother on her mother's side... You will be allowed to, for at least once a week, to go into a special room where Dorothy will be resurrected for one hour and one hour only during a visit, so you can talk to her until the time expires and she goes back into the afterlife to continue resting in peace."
This caused Cherry to smile as she would be able to see her aunt again.
"Oh, my God!" Drell gasped, trying to lighten the mood. "Cherry is actually smiling at me!"
Cherry gave him a look of deadpan. "There's the Drell I know and am indifferent to..." she then muttered.
"And there's the Cherry we know and love." Drell smirked.
"So, about that adventure?" Cherry asked.
"Uh... I figure you guys could use a vacation..." Drell shrugged. "We still have some time before the new school year, but I'd like to see you once you guys say goodbye to Franklin and friends."
"Okay." Mo said.
They soon went to go and join Granny's party. Bear soon came with his mother as they were also invited. Franklin and Bear smiled to each other and shared a best friend hug once they came up to each other. Junior smiled as he was happy to see that. Sam smiled as she gave a friendly wave. The others smiled back to her and waved back to her.
"Ice cream sundaes, everyone!" Mrs. Turtle announced.
"Wahoo! Sundaes!" Junior cheered.
"Sam helped make the chocolate sauce." Lucy smiled back.
"Chocolate Sauce?!" Bear beamed. "Oh, boy!"
"Isn't it great how well Granny is doing, Dr. Bear?" Mrs. Turtle smiled to her son's best friend's mother.
"It's a miracle alright." Dr. Bear smiled back.
"It sure is." Gloriosa smiled.
"I remember telling the children about Turtle Lake," Granny smiled back. "I've kept myself from thinking about that terrible night for so long. But when I saw that old map again, it all came back after you left. I thought about my parents. How much I've missed them."
"Oh, Mom..." Lucy frowned softly.
"We'll look after you!" Mr. Turtle smiled to his mother.
Mo was happy that everything worked out for everyone.
"And I'll help," Lucy smiled. "I decided to stay here for a while. In Woodland."
"That's wonderful, dear," Granny smiled back before frowning in thought. "But what about Egypt?"
"That old Tomb's waited a bit to be found, it can wait a little longer," Lucy replied before standing up to hug Harriet. "As a wise little crow once said 'Family is much nicer than shiny pretties'!"
"That's right." Gloriosa smiled.
"The last week made me realize how much you all mean to me," Lucy smiled to her family as she carried Harriet in her arms. "And how much I've missed."
Harriet then gave her aunt a kiss.
"Slow down, Bear!" Dr. Bear chuckled as her son ate his sundae rather quickly. "You don't wanna get an ice cream headache!"
"Your mother's right." Timber smiled.
Bear's eyes widened as he soon stopped and was paying for it, but his eyes watered.
"Ice cream headaches." Franklin chuckled to his best friend.
"More like hot peppers in the chocolate sauce." Sam whispered with a smirk.
"Sam..." Junior sighed.
Granny soon tapped her spoon.
"Why is she doing that?" Junior asked.
"She wants to tell us all something." Timber told him.
"Ohh..." Junior then said.
"I have Franklin and his friends to thank," Granny smiled. "They're my heroes."
'Looks like Franklin got to be a hero after all.' Junior thought to himself.
"Franklin's the real hero," Sam smiled as she touched his shoulder. "He was amazing!"
They soon heard the phonograph music playing again and Harriet began to dance on the front porch.
"Looks like it's time to dance." Cherry said.
"I sure wish we could dance, Granny." Franklin smiled to his grandmother.
"Just you watch, Franklin," Granny smiled back. "I'll be up and at it, cutting a rug again in no time."
After the party, it was soon time for the group to go. It was quite surprising for everyone when Sam gave Franklin a kiss on the cheek since she was going back home tomorrow. Everyone was soon back home, Elizabeth and Jim were still gone, but they called earlier to say that they would be home in time for dinner, but Cherry began to leave.
"Cherry, don't you wanna stay for dinner?" Mo asked.
"Yeah, sure, there's just something I have to do first." Cherry said.
"Oh, okay." Mo said.
"Want any company?" Patch asked.
"That's okay..." Cherry said as she walked off to be alone.
The others went back inside as Cherry went to make a stop over to the cemetery. She just hoped there wouldn't be any tricks from a certain warlock. Cherry soon took out some flowers and rested them on Dorothy's grave once she stood there, giving a brief moment of silence. She then did something she was usually against due to her own beliefs, though Dorothy was a very religious woman, and soon put her hands together to give a silent prayer and a tear seemed to roll down her cheek as she stood there alone in the cemetery. A magical glow soon happened. Cherry opened one eye and yelped, falling backwards onto the ground.
"Don't say I don't do you any favors." Drell said as he floated on a cloud.
"How are you even doing that?" Cherry glanced at him for the cloud thing. "You're not a pegasus!"
"Magic." Drell smirked.
Cherry just rolled her eyes to that and suddenly, they were in a hallway with various doors.
"Someone wants to see you..." Drell said before opening the door for her.
Cherry came inside and looked around and it looked just like her Aunt Dorothy's living room like whenever she would come to visit, she soon spotted the couch and jumped onto it, lying down as she always did whenever she would come to the house, adjusting the pillows the way she liked them. She soon saw the person she had not seen ever since the said person's death.
"Well, hi there!" The woman greeted warmly, sounding like her old self. "How are you?"
"Good..." Cherry said with tears in her eyes.
"Good, good." Aunt Dorothy replied.
Drell soon walked by and shut the door, putting a timer on it, though looked around and tried to add more minutes just for Cherry's sake.
"I miss you so much." Cherry told her aunt as she hugged her.
"Aw, baby, I've missed you too..." Dorothy smiled, hugging her back. "Why don't you tell me what you've been up to?"
Cherry soon grew active and told Dorothy everything as they were alone together for the next sixty minutes or so. Dorothy was of course very happy to hear every word that her surrogate granddaughter had to say.
"Hmm... I'm a little hungry..." Drell said as he held his stomach. "I wonder if Cherry would be mad if I stayed for dinner?" He was about to enter the room to have a bite to eat.
