The man from before stumbled into the condo.
Darla looked to him and narrowed her eyes slightly. "You must be Aunt Connie's boyfriend..."
"Yeah and who are you?" The man asked.
"I'm Darla," the blonde girl folded her arms. "Aunt Connie's favorite and most adorable, angelic, and treasured niece."
The man soon heard hissing as he looked down and saw Maisy. "Cute cat..." he commented, though didn't seem to mean it. "Where's Connie?"
"In the back." Darla pointed.
Rocky then went to that direction, ruffling up her hair.
Darla held her head and lightly glared to him. "I don't know why, but I hate that man, Maisy."
"Same here." Maisy glared.
Connie helped the others out, but smiled as Atticus did most of the work and didn't even hesitate.
"Hey..." Rocky came to the door-frame.
"Oh... Hi, Rocky..." Connie smiled in surprise.
Rocky soon heard Atticus's grunts only once as he also heard something being filled up with air all the way.
"You sure you can handle the pump on your own?" Mo asked.
"No, no, it's okay, I don't mind at all." Atticus smiled to her as he pumped up the air mattress for them.
And where with one pump, the mattress was filled with air all the way due to his incredible strength.
"Quick, plug it!" Atticus called.
Mo swooped in and then plugged it up. "Success!"
They both then hugged each other, but then noticed Rocky was in the condo.
"Rocky, this is my older foster brother Atticus and his girlfriend Mo." Darla introduced.
"So I see..." Rocky sounded disinterested.
"And if you even think about hurting Atticus, think again," Darla smirked as she folded her arms. "He'll send you right to the moon."
Rocky gulped as soon as he looked and saw that Atticus had brought weights with him. Darla smirked to this. Rocky then left the room to see Connie.
Darla giggled and hugged Atticus. "I'm so glad you're here, it's like you're my own bodyguard."
"Yeah, I guess so." Atticus nodded.
"Ooh, bouncy." Maisy hopped and bounced on the air mattress.
"Yep, filled up with plenty of air." Atticus smiled.
"Watch your claws." Mo warned the kitten.
"I will." Maisy smiled.
Cherry yawned and stretched.
"Tired?" Colette asked.
"It's been a long travel..." Cherry nodded once.
"It sure was." Ellie May yawned.
"I guess some of us should rest," Patch said. "Sorry we can't play, Rover."
"Play?" Rover glanced at him. "I don't play."
"Well, how do you fetch with Connie then?" Patch then asked.
"What's 'Fetch'?" Rover asked.
"Wow, this dog needs help." Colette said.
"Something tells me he'll learn all about being a real dog sometime soon." Patch nodded in agreement.
"I hope so." Colette said.
"I guess we'll find out in the future." Patch said.
Rocky went away after a while and Connie stayed on the couch after talking with him.
Darla came to the couch and sat next to her aunt. "I don't trust that guy, Aunt Connie."
"Oh, Darla, Rocky's harmless..." Connie replied. "Besides, he's going to watch the pets while we go away to have some quality time together after my birthday."
Darla grew concerned of that and then got an idea of who should stay with him.
"Don't worry, I'll be sure Atticus has fun too, even though I planned for it to be a girl's weekend," Connie continued. "Plus some nights, I'll have to work of course."
"Why don't we leave Atticus here with Rocky; that way, it does get to be a girl's weekend?" Darla smiled.
"Oh, I wouldn't want him to be left out." Connie replied to her niece.
"Aunt Connie, I insist," Darla replied. "It might be better that way anyway, we could have our girls' time and Atticus could help watch the pets, he does love animals after all..." she then muttered under her breath. "And if that Rocky tries anything, Atticus can open up a can of whoop butt."
"Well, if you are really sure." Connie said.
"I'm sure he'll agree." Darla smiled.
And where Darla was right.
"Well, okay, we'll talk it over with him." Connie smiled.
Darla smiled back and gave her aunt a hug. "I hear you preform, now I know where I got my talented genes from."
"Well, our family does have talents in many ways." Connie smiled.
"I sing and dance..." Darla said.
"I've heard of your movies..." Connie nodded. "I knew it had to be you, you have your father's smile."
Darla smiled bashfully to that.
It was soon time for bed.
"Well, I guess it's time for bed." Connie looked at the time.
"Aw, but Aunt Connie..." Darla pouted before yawning sleepily. "We just got here..."
"Yes I know, but it's time for bed, young lady." Connie said.
Darla pouted.
"Now, now, don't look at me like that..." Connie picked up her young niece. "You need your rest, we'll have a lot of fun tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Darla said.
"You've had a long trip anyway, it'll be tomorrow before you know it." Connie smiled as she then carried Darla into the spare room.
Darla smiled before yawning. Connie smiled to her niece and took her into the other room as the others were already in their pajamas and getting ready for bed.
"Ready to get some sleep, strongman?" Mo smirked.
"I am if you are, pretty lady." Atticus smirked back.
This caused Mo to giggle as she felt his muscles before they both got into bed. Atticus smiled to her. Cherry was already knocked out and was even snoring and drooling all over her pillow.
"Mo really has been bringing out her female side more often." Colette smiled.
"I guess that's what happens when human girls fall in love." Patch smiled back.
Colette then began to yawn before falling asleep with Patch. Patch slightly nuzzled against her as he felt sleepy himself. The next day would be a special day for Connie, but would also have a rather unpleasant surprise. The morning came quicker than anyone expected.
