The concert looked like it was a success as many people were there. Michael and Ashley of course sat together and began to talk, though oddly enough as Michael normally liked to talk about himself most of the time, he seemed to mostly talk about his little sister which Ashley really seemed to like about how much he loved his little sister. Darla, Amber, and Annabelle sat at their own table while Miley sat in her own spot herself. Amber looked around which made Darla smirk.
"Whatcha lookin' for, Amber?" Darla smirked.
"Ah, uh, just making sure how many people are here..." Amber replied bashfully.
"Uh-huh," Darla smirked. "Sure."
"So, who is this boy you guys keep talking about?" Annabelle asked.
"N-No one." Amber blushed.
Annabelle glanced curiously while Darla smirked and giggled to her best friend. They soon saw how Robbie Ray was acting. They soon saw how Robbie Ray was acting, and where she soon saw that he was talking with Loralei.
"I have a feeling about those two." Annabelle said to Darla and Amber.
"Mm-hmm~" Darla smirked in agreement.
Amber soon saw a familiar boy and hid.
"What?" Annabelle asked.
"He's here..." Amber whispered.
"Who's he?" Annabelle asked Darla.
Darla soon told Annabelle who Amber was hiding from.
"Isn't that kid on TV?" Annabelle asked.
"Yep." Darla nodded.
"You girls look familiar." Tommy said as he came to see the girls.
"Hi, Tommy~" Darla smirked as she waved to the boy. "You might remember me from when my brother's dog had that adventure with Thunderbolt."
"Ohh, yeah." Tommy smiled as he now remembered.
"Annabelle, this is Tommy Forester," Darla introduced. "Also known as the little boy in danger and Thunderbolt has to save him. Tommy, this is our newest friend, Annabelle Greening, she was a new student for a while."
"Charmed," Tommy replied before looking around. "Weren't there three of ya?"
Darla soon whistled while pointing to where Amber was hiding.
"Darla!" Amber gasped.
"Amber." Darla smirked innocently.
Tommy came to see Amber and smiled. "Oh, it's you, I was hoping I'd see you again."
"Y-You were?" Amber asked.
"Yeah," Tommy blushed. "And, uh, well, if you'd like, maybe we could share a dance?"
"Oh, um, okay, Tommy," Amber blushed back. "I would love that."
'They're blushing.' Darla thought to herself with a smirk.
"So, Tommy, what brings you to Crowely Corners?" Annabelle asked.
"Just wanting a vacation." Tommy said.
"Well, that's good," Darla smiled. "We're with our friend Miley for a couple of weeks."
"Sounds good, I guess we can hang out then when y'all aren't too busy." Tommy replied.
"I know Amber will like that." Darla smirked to her best friend.
"Darla!" Amber blushed.
Darla giggled innocently. "Oh, I'm so bad~"
"Ooh, the show's about to start!" Tommy realized.
Soon enough, Robbie Ray came on stage and decided to sing for the fundraiser, he had used to sing all the time until he met his late wife and they started a life together and it was easily shown where Miley got her musical talent from.
"Wow." Tommy said.
"He's pretty good." Amber commented.
"Yeah, I can see where Miley gets it." Annabelle agreed.
"Totally," Darla added with a nod. "I wonder how Atticus is doing with babysitting Hayden?"
Back at home...
Cherry yawned as she soon finished her Pagemaster book.
"How was the book?" Atticus asked Cherry since she had been reading it for a very long time as he was making dinner for Hayden.
"Pretty amazing, I wish I could have an adventure like this..." Cherry said before she got to the very last page of the book which had a spell in it. "Oh, this wreaks of Drell."
"You know what that means." Atticus said.
"Later though." Cherry replied.
"Yes, later," Atticus nodded as he then checked on the chicken nuggets with macaroni and cheese before he took them out and set them on the table. "Hayden, dinner!"
Hayden smiled as he ran into the room to get his dinner as he set down his toy cars. Atticus soon helped Hayden up to his seat. Hayden smiled to Atticus.
"Wash your hands?" Atticus asked.
"Uh-huh..." Hayden nodded as he showed his clean hands.
"Good." Atticus smiled before he set Hayden's food in front of him.
Hayden smiled back. "Thank you!" he then began to eat.
Cherry and Atticus then began to eat their own dinner.
Cherry glanced at the toy cars and shuddered. "Those bug eyes are creeping me out." she whispered to Atticus about the designs for Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater.
"Just don't look at them." Atticus whispered back.
Cherry turned the toy cars around and continued to eat.
"Attcus?" Hayden asked.
"Yes, Hayden?" Atticus smiled.
"Are you and Cherry bruddah and sistah?" Hayden asked which was a common question that the two received due to their closeness since they were little children.
"No, but we're best friends and brother and sister figures." Atticus said.
"Cherry?" Hayden then looked to the perky goth. "Guess what?"
"I despise guessing games..." Cherry mumbled.
"Your brother really likes my mom, they might even get married!" Hayden beamed before giggling.
"Yes, well, excuse me for not leaping for joy..." Cherry replied. "It's bad for my back you know."
"Hey, Cherry, if your brother marries my mom, what'll that make you?" Hayden asked.
"A monkey's auntie." Cherry smirked.
Hayden giggled to that. "You're so weird~"
"You have no idea..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
'Did they really just take that from our adventure in Africa?' Atticus thought to himself.
Everyone continued to eat up until they would eat all they could.
"Ugh... So full..." Cherry muttered as she held her stomach.
Hayden yawned a little since he was now full.
"Aw, sounds like it's somebody's nap time." Atticus smiled.
"Aww..." Hayden pouted.
"Come on, little buddy, let's get you to sleep," Atticus told him. "I'll tell you a story about anything you want."
"Anything?" Hayden smiled.
"Anything." Atticus smiled back.
"Thanks, Attcus." Hayden beamed.
Atticus then took Hayden up for him to take his nap and tucked him in. "So, what would you like to hear?"
"A 'venture." Hayden smiled.
"Oh, boy, my favorite!" Atticus beamed.
"Yay!" Hayden beamed back and laughed in excitement.
"Hmm... Now, which story to tell?" Atticus hummed as he wanted to tell one that wouldn't give Hayden a nightmare.
Hayden smiled as he waited in excitement to hear about the story, though he soon began to yawn. Atticus soon knew which one was perfect. He soon started to tell the young boy the story of his, Cherry's, Mo's, and Patch's adventure in Canterlot High. Hayden smiled as he listened to the story before his eyes felt heavy, and once the story was over, Hayden was fast asleep.
"The End..." Atticus concluded with a whisper as he then tucked in the young boy. "Have a good rest, Hayden."
Cherry curiously looked through her Pagemaster book and looked up once Atticus came back into the room.
"Hayden's fast asleep now." The strong Wiccan boy smiled to his best friend.
"Kids are easy." Cherry replied.
Mo soon knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." Cherry said as she handed the Pagemaster book to Atticus before going to get the door.
Atticus decided to look over the book to see what it was all about.
"Oh, hey, Mo." Cherry greeted the tomboy.
"Hey, Cherry; I didn't see Atticus at the concert, so I thought I'd come here." Mo said.
"He's right here~" Cherry smirked.
Mo walked into the house as she decided to see Atticus.
"Atticus, your girlfriend is here~" Cherry smirked.
Atticus soon put the book down before seeing Mo coming right at him.
"Mo..." Atticus smiled.
"Atticus." Mo smiled back.
"Cherry." Cherry smirked.
Atticus and Mo glanced at her. Cherry smirked innocently and walked away.
"You're not at the concert?" Mo asked Atticus.
"I decided to babysit Ashley's son." Atticus replied.
"Aw!" Mo smiled.
Atticus blushed.
"Where is the little guy then?" Mo asked.
"Taking a nap right now." Atticus smiled back.
"So cute." Mo smiled back.
"Um, how's the concert?" Atticus asked.
"Oh, it's all right, I'd like it better if you were there," Mo replied. "But Miley's dad is an amazing singer. Apparently he used to have a mullet and he wants it back."
"I don't think anyone would want it back." Cherry said.
Atticus snickered slightly.
"The Pagemaster?" Mo asked as she took a look at Cherry's newest book.
"Yeah," Cherry replied. "Drell gave it to me."
"What's it about?" Mo asked.
"Basically, this boy's afraid of everything, even his own shadow," Cherry explained. "He then meets this librarian named Mr. Dewey and gets sent into a world of illustrations and meets books named Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror."
"That sounds like a thrilling adventure." Mo replied.
"I think we're gonna have to go to it soon... Look." Cherry said as she turned to the final page of the book which was that of a spell.
"But not right now." Mo said.
"Right..." Cherry replied.
"Are you hungry, Mo?" Atticus asked. "We have some leftover chicken nuggets."
"That sounds great, and I've noticed that Patch is outside." Mo smiled to the offer.
"Oh, yeah," Atticus replied. "Ruby's rules, but dogs are mostly outside on a farm."
"So I see..." Mo nodded as she decided to get some leftovers as she was quite hungry.
Atticus decided to go out and see his dog. "Hi, boy!"
"Hi, Atticus." Patch smiled.
"I'm sorry you have to be outside a lot, but Ruby's rules." Atticus said.
"I know," Patch replied. "How's Hayden?"
"He's taking a nap right now." Atticus said.
"He must have had a big dinner." Patch smiled.
"Yeah," Atticus agreed. "Like when Cherry naps after lunch."
"She sure does nap a lot these days." Patch commented.
"She must be so exhausted about not sleeping at night normally anymore and watching people's dreams with Princess Luna." Atticus pondered.
"Probably that." Patch said.
"Tell me, are you hungry?" Atticus asked.
Patch's eyes widened. "Yes!"
Atticus chuckled and decided to get Patch his dinner.
After a while, he soon brought out food for Patch. Patch smiled while licking his lips and began to eat the food with content and happiness.
"You don't seem to eat chicken as much as you used to." Atticus told his dog.
"Oh, you remember Spot from my family's farm?" Patch asked. "Well, she's a chicken, so..."
"Ah, that makes sense..." Atticus understood. "Even though she's like one of the dogs, you can't eat chicken since she is one."
"Right." Patch nodded as he continued to eat his dinner.
"That's a good boy," Atticus smiled. "But you know that if less people eat chickens, then we'll soon have too many chickens."
"I think Cherry can cover that argument." Patch smirked about how Cherry usually craved chicken on her bad days.
"True." Atticus nodded.
Later on, Hayden's nap was over and he played with his toy cars.
"Wightnin', you have to help Matah save Wadiatah Spwings!" Hayden called out as he made zoom noises as he played with the toy race car on the wall.
"He sure is cute." Mo smiled.
"Ashley must be so proud," Atticus smiled back to her. "Hey, Cherry, if she and your brother get married, you'll be an aunt."
"Aw, heck no." Cherry's eyes widened nervously.
"Aw, yeah." Atticus said.
Cherry sunk in her chair slightly while everyone chuckled to her.
Soon enough, everyone else came over.
"Concert must be over." Atticus commented.
"Mama!" Hayden beamed as he ran to his mother and hugged her. "Attcus told me about the time he saved the Element of Harmony crown from Canterlot High and became friends with Sunset Shimmer!"
"Oh, what an imagination." Ashley chuckled to her son.
"Oh, no, it actually happened." Cherry said as she read a new book.
"Michael did say you were a writer." Ashley replied.
"He did?" Cherry asked.
"Oh, yeah, all he did was talk about what a great little sister you are." Ashley smiled.
"It's true." Michael added bashfully.
"You talked about me?" Cherry asked in surprise.
"Well, yeah..." Michael shrugged innocently.
"Aw." Mo smiled.
"Uh, good night, Ashley." Michael said shyly, about to leave.
"Don't you wanna stay for a drink or somethin'?" Ashley offered.
"Oh... Um... Uh... Okay..." Michael smiled. "Sure, Ashley."
"Atticus, you won't believe what Miley just promised everyone." Darla told her older brother.
"Oh, boy, what happened?" Atticus asked his little sister.
Darla soon told Atticus everything that happened.
Atticus nodded as he listened before gasping. "Hannah Montana?!" he then whispered loudly.
"Mm-hmm..." Darla nodded.
"Wow." Atticus said.
"Should we do something?" Darla asked.
"I think maybe Lilly will be of some help." Amber replied.
"She's all the way in Malibu though," Annabelle pointed out. "How could we get her in Tennessee?"
"We do know someone who can help us with that." Darla said.
"And who would that be?" Atticus asked.
"A certain someone that we didn't tell that we were going here instead of the awards." Darla said.
"Oh, boy." Atticus replied.
"Trust me," Darla promised. "We got this."
"That's my little sister." Atticus smiled proudly.
"Good luck with that." Cherry replied as she read her new book about The Secret of NIMH. She soon saw another spell which caused for her to groan.
"What's wrong now?" Atticus asked.
Cherry showed the spell in defeat.
"Seriously?" Atticus asked. "How many spells is he gonna send us?"
"This man is going to be the death of me..." Cherry rubbed her face as she looked stressed.
"I can live with that." Mo agreed.
Cherry glared slightly as she didn't hope for anyone to take that too seriously.
Soon enough, everyone went straight to bed and Cherry sat on the roof while staring at the moon.
"Drell, why do you always send us on these crazy adventures?" Cherry asked as she sighed while looking at the moon. "Can't we have normal lives like the mortals we go to school with?" Once everyone was asleep, the perky goth knew exactly what to do next.
The book glowed before Cherry opened it up to see a certain warlock staring at her.
"Get back to work!" Drell scolded.
Cherry slammed the book shut with her own glare as she went to visit everybody's dreams, and where everything seemed peaceful. Cherry smiled softly as she saw Michael and Ashley seemed to dream about being in each other's lives in the future as she then saw even Hayden had a good dream as he dreamed about being in the world of Cars which was his favorite Disney movie.
"Good, good." Cherry nodded.
Atticus had a black and white detective dream like from Casablanca, Mo dreamt about marrying Atticus, and Patch dreamt about being with a certain female cocker spaniel.
"Hmm..." Cherry hummed in thought as she then came to see Darla's dream to see that she was dreaming about being with Serena and the other Sailor Scouts again, though she could see what looked like an alien princess who had the intention of freezing the Earth known as Princess Snow Kaguya. "Who is that?"
"Kaguya." Princess Luna said.
"Huh?" Cherry looked around.
The Alicorn Princess of the Night soon appeared.
"Ah, hello, Princess Luna." Cherry smiled as she bowed.
"Princess Snow Kaguya, though there are two different snow princesses with the same name." Princess Luna said.
"Uh... Now I'm even more confused... Wait, is this gonna be an adventure?" Cherry asked.
"Mostly for Darla since she's a Sailor Scout like when Atticus and Patch ended up in Tokyo that one time." Princess Luna informed.
"Wow." Cherry said.
Princess Luna nodded.
"So, um, is this snow princess bad or what?" Cherry asked. "I mean, it's not like I'm gonna be involved with Sailor Moon myself, right?"
"Right, and Princess Snow Kayuga will most likely try to freeze the entire planet." Princess Luna said.
"And I thought Princess Elsa-" Cherry began.
"Queen Elsa." Princess Luna corrected.
"Whatever!" Cherry rolled her eyes. "And I thought she was the bad guy when we had that Frozen adventure."
"No, she just couldn't control her powers yet due to her fear." Princess Luna said.
"So, what about this Princess Snow Kaguya?" Cherry asked. "Are Dimples and her new friends in trouble?"
"For right now, yes," Princess Luna replied. "No worries though, Darla is stronger than she seems, even if she was a bit of a spoiled brat when you all first met her."
"Yeah, I have to admit that she's been a pretty good girl since Atticus adopted her." Cherry shrugged innocently, though she didn't know much about Sailor Moon since they were mostly Darla's adventures than her own.
"And where Luna the cat is kind of a descendant of the good snow princess." Princess Luna said.
"Luna?" Cherry asked.
"Not me, the cat." Princess Luna explained.
Cherry shrugged as she then continued to walk with Princess Luna. "This is a crazy journey even for me, I'm not even that big a fan of Hannah Montana's music."
"Maybe, but she doesn't have an easy life." Princess Luna said.
"Can't be worse than mine." Cherry mumbled.
"Try living a double life." Princess Luna said.
"Well, I guess that can be hard for anyone who has to..." Cherry admitted.
"Just think, a regular school student by day, and a superstar by night." Princess Luna emphasized.
"And yet people are totally fooled just because of a blonde wig," Cherry commented. "Not even Fred Jones could fall for something like that!"
"Yes, but plenty of make-up helps make it work." Princess Luna explained.
"Meh." Cherry shrugged.
The two continued to explore everybody else's dreams until the next morning would come, and where they would both be exhausted from the night job.
