Cherry eventually fell asleep, seeming to had forgotten she left Atticus alone in her imagination.
"How was that one, huh?" Atticus smiled to Mo.
Mo held out a perfect ten scorecard, not saying anything.
"Huh? Um, Mo, you haven't said a word since we came into this imagination world," Atticus said before realizing something. "Wait, when did you get in here?"
Mo smiled bashfully.
Atticus narrowed her eyes. "Are you even the real Mo?"
Mo then had a rather evil smile with a villainous look in her eyes. "Sure... As far as you know..."
Atticus had a questioning look but had to be sure and he had a perfect idea how to make sure if this Mo was the real Mo. "Tell me, do you love me as myself or as this?" he asked as he flexed his muscles.
Mo seemed stupefied by his muscles like any brainless fan girl would.
"That's what I thought," Atticus glared. "Cherry, get me outta here!"
But he didn't get an answer, telling him either two things that she was mad at him for his behavior or...She was asleep.
"Cherry!" Atticus kept yelling. "Ugh, how do I get out of here without her?"
Mo giggled rather evilly at his little predicament. "Why don't you stay here, big boy?" she suggested with a flirty smile. "Do some bench presses, do one-armed push-ups... Relax..."
Those did sound very tempting but he wasn't going to let this world make him forget about the real world or the real Mo he truly loved.
"Join me, Atticus..." Mo smiled seductively, leaning into him with pouty lips, almost as though she tried to kiss him.
"Cherry, get me out of here!" Atticus yelled out.
Meanwhile...
Cherry was lightly snoring in her bed, then instantly woke up as she remembered something important. "Oh, my glob!" she yelled out, then got out of bed and sent herself to Ancient Greece.
"CHERRY BUTLER, HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE!" Atticus yelled.
"Dude, don't yell, I got ear drums super sensitive." Cherry came right behind him.
Atticus only merely flinched, but looked to her. "Get me out of here!"
Cherry nodded, she then shut her eyes and took them back into her bedroom. "Sorry about that... I only meant to leave for a minute, but I passed out... I must be working too hard."
"I never wanna go back there with that Mo ever again," Atticus said. "That Mo was evil and nothing like the Mo I love."
"She really seemed Mary Sue..." Cherry nodded slowly in agreement, though she disliked her imagination's Mo for different reasons, but she was glad Atticus found out that Mo was a fake before he would get carried away with her.
"So wanna play video games?" Atticus asked.
"I suppose so..." Cherry walked down the hall with him and wandered into her living room.
"You still playing that Smoke and Mirrors game?" Atticus asked.
"Man, I don't even know anymore..." Cherry felt torn, it was a terrible game, but it was a present for her.
"Let's play a different game than that." Atticus said.
Cherry took out the video game bag and turned it upside down to make the games pile out on the ottoman. "You want Nintendo Wii, Playstation, GameCube, or Super Nintendo?"
"Wii." Atticus said.
"Mario or Sonic?" Cherry then asked, hooking up her old Wii and got the two remotes out, handing him one of them.
"Sonic." Atticus said.
"Of course..." Cherry said, then took out the Sonic Freedom Fighter game which was basically Mortal Kombat with Sonic characters and without the blood and gore. She then put the game in and started the Wii, starting up the game before they would select their characters and start playing, she then hooked up the nun-chucks so they could fight better with the controls.
"This is going to be fun." Atticus smiled.
"I remember playing this game a long time ago..." Cherry said, then skipped the intros and made it to the character selection and selected a character who was forgotten in the Sonic franchise known as Honey the Cat.
"Cool character, for me, I'm going with Tails." Atticus said as he chose the two-tailed fox.
"Funny, thought you'd go with Knuckles." Cherry said as she then got them out of the character selection and moved onto the gameplay.
The screen loaded for a bit and then the anthropomorphic animals were standing in front of each other, there was a countdown from three to one and then the two started to mash the buttons to make their characters fight.
"I'll go with Knuckles on the next round." Atticus said.
"Whatever's clever." Cherry replied.
Honey hissed and punched Tails right in the face.
"BRUTAL!" Cherry laughed.
Atticus smirked before Tails jumped up and began to spin like a wheel and ran over Honey.
"Aww... Don't you wanna let a girly girl wiiin?" Cherry pouted playfully.
"Nooo way, sister." Atticus smirked playfully.
"Oh, I am going to CRUSH YOU!" Cherry said, purposely making the end of her sentence sound demonic as she broguht it up a little against Atticus in the game. "Hey, you ever feel like something weird might happen while Patch is gone?" she then asked, normally and casually.
"No, but I have a feeling that Patch might have an adventure while he's with Tom, Jerry, and Robyn." Atticus said.
"Well... Yeah... But..." Cherry looked distant, then shrugged. "Eh, must be nerves... By the way..."
"What?" Atticus asked.
"KNOCK OUT!" Cherry said before Honey made Tails faint on the screen and she then jumped up in victory.
"Wow, I did not see that coming." Atticus said with widened eyes.
Cherry stuck her tongue out. "Girl Power~..."
"I'm gonna win in the next round." Atticus said.
"Mm-hmm..." Cherry said as they chose new characters. "Hmm... Who shall I be this time?" she asked herself as Atticus chose Knuckles the Echidna.
"Whoever you choose, I'll beat that character." Atticus smirked.
"Yeah... Okay..." Cherry rolled her eyes, then picked Amy Rose, or in this game as she was known as 'Rosie the Rascal'.
"Oh, I am so dead." Atticus said out of defeat already.
"Yep," Cherry grinned eagerly. She then shook another cold chill. "Brr... Guess it's that adventure feeling... Maybe we can finally get the day-off."
"Yeah, maybe," Atticus said. "Now prepare to possibly be defeated, I hope."
"Giiiiirl power..." Cherry taunted playfully.
The game started the same with Amy against Knuckles, after the timer ticked, the pink female hedgehog and red male echidna were now fighting to the 'death'.
While that went on, Patch began to pace himself around, bored with nothing to do and was even deciding to take a look what was downstairs in the basement. Jerry popped his head out, then saw Patch wandering off and decided to follow the puppy, his curiosity getting the better of him.
'Maybe the basement isn't forbidden, maybe anyone can go down into it.' Patch thought to himself.
Chip was on his way to the kitchen. Patch heard his footsteps and hid underneath the couch until he would pass. As soon as Chip made it into the kitchen, the puppy then moved again and went to the basement door. As soon as he saw that it was clear, Patch went over to the basement door and decided to open it with his magic slowly and quietly so then he wouldn't make a sound. Jerry however snuck over to Patch just before the door would close and had a small, curious smile.
"Good, no one heard the door open." Patch whispered.
"Hi, Patch." Jerry smiled.
Patch yelped out slightly, then cupped his muzzle with his frontal paws.
"Oops, sorry..." Jerry said then.
"Quiet!" Patch whispered. "And what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't help it," Jerry gave in. "I just gotta see what's in this basement!"
"Fine, just stay quiet." Patch whispered before his medallion/Pound Puppy tag glowed, teleporting both himself and Jerry to the bottom of the stairs.
Jerry covered his mouth and nodded, not speaking as he used to before he and Tom just randomly decided to after they met Pugsley and Frankie.
