Rover was a bit of a mess when he first woke up. Connie woke up early, already dressed so she could get going with the ones who wanted to go with her. Patch woke up next as he started to stretch. Cherry was asleep on her back, so she snored kind of loudly.

"Come on, Cherry, time to wake up..." Atticus gently shook his best friend awake.

Cherry punched him in the face before her hand twitched. "OW!"

"Come on, time to wake up." Atticus smiled.

Cherry groaned and sat up. "I was having a nice dream for once."

"Ooh." Atticus smiled.

"Shut up..." Cherry glowered as she then went to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for the road trip.

Connie was in the kitchen and was cooking up a steak to give to Rover before she would leave.

"Mm." Patch smiled as he smelled a steak.

"Pass the tuna..." Maisy said sleepily with a sleep mask on.

"Maisy, why do you have a sleep mask on?" Ellie May asked.

Maisy removed her sleep mask with narrowed eyes. "So I can sleep?"

"Ohh." Ellie May smiled.

Maisy rolled her eyes. "Puppies..."

"Kittens." Colette sighed.

Maisy hissed to that.

Darla came into the kitchen and yawned. "Why do we have to leave so early?"

"Sorry, sweetie, but don't worry, you can sleep on the way there." Connie promised.

"Yay!" Darla smiled. "I still can't believe how thoughtful Atlas was as he agreed to be here with Atticus and Rocky to watch over the pets while we're away."

"Yeah, he's a real sweetheart." Connie smiled about that.

"You seem to like him a lot more than Rocky." Darla smiled.

"Oh, I don't know about that..." Connie replied. "If only you knew the Rocky that I knew."

'If only YOU knew the Rocky WE knew...' Patch firmly thought to himself in response about Connie's comment about her current boyfriend.

"Well I guess he's not that bad." Darla said.

Rover stumbled as he woke up.

"You okay, Rover?" Colette asked in worry. "You must be shook up from what we saw last night."

"Yeah, I think so." Rover said.

"Don't worry, Atticus will be right here if Rocky tries anything." Colette soothed maternally, despite being younger than the hound dog.

"Thanks." Rover said.

Colette smiled comfortingly.

"Rover, honey, wake up now," Connie called gently. "We're leaving now. We're going on the road."

"Yep." Darla smiled.

"The road?" Rover asked.

"Here's a nice piece of steak from Joe the Cook." Connie bent down with a smile and pet her dog.

Rover sniffed the steak and actually winced in disgust. Patch looked like he wanted to eat the steak. Rover pushed the steak over to Patch. Patch smiled thankfully and then started to eat the steak since Rover didn't seem to want it.

"Why didn't you want the steak?" Colette asked.

"I'm not hungry." Rover moaned slightly.

"Oh, okay." Ellie May said.

"Rocky, don't forget Rover's water!" Connie called to her boyfriend.

Rover's eyes widened from the bright light as Connie opened the blinds.

"Whoa! That sun is bright." Ellie May said.

"Guh, warn someone next time, Aunt Connie!" Darla groaned.

"Sorry, dear." Connie said.

Darla rubbed her eyes. "Oy vey..."

"Tell me about it..." Cherry mumbled.

"I know I hate when the sun does that." Mo said.

"What's worse, that or when the teacher turns on the lights after a video on the projector?" Cherry replied.

"The sunlight." Mo said.

Cherry rolled her eyes. Connie then came into her room to put in her earrings as she was almost ready to go.

"Ooh, those are pretty." Darla smiled.

"Thank you, dear." Connie smiled back.

Rover came into the room as he saw Connie was getting ready to leave.

"Looks like someone is getting sad." Darla said.

"Oh, Rover," Connie cooed and knelt down to her pet. "We'll only be gone two weeks. And don't worry, Rocky, Atlas, and Atticus will take care of you all."

"Rocky?!" Rover snarled slightly.

"Yeah, I'll take care of him." Rocky smirked as he leaned on the door-frame and looked himself in the mirror.

Atticus glared to Rocky and looked out the window to look out for Atlas for Connie. And where he saw the strongman jogging all the way to the condo. Atticus smiled and gently patted on the window and gestured for Atlas to come on in. Atlas nodded as he went to the front door.


"Atlas is here, Aunt Connie!" Atticus called for the blonde woman.

"He's on time." Connie smiled.

Atlas walked over to Connie. "You about ready?"

"Just about, thanks so much for doing this, you don't have to, you know." Connie smiled to him.

"Yeah, but I want to." Atlas said.

"Your heart seems to be as big as your muscles." Connie smiled.

"No argument there." Atlas smirked playfully as he flexed one of his muscles.

Connie giggled to that. Darla watched the two and smiled as Connie looked very happy with Atlas.

"Why don't I help you pack while I'm here?" Atlas volunteered.

"I'm about done, but I suppose you could help me with the finishing touches." Connie smiled.

Atlas soon started to help her with the finishing touches in her packing. Everyone else decided the two should have some privacy.


Cherry checked the fridge for a quick snack before getting on the road.

"Want me to make you a snack?" Atticus offered.

"Sure." Cherry smiled hungrily.

Atticus soon made a snack for her.

"What is it?" Cherry asked.

"Egg and bacon muffin sandwich." Atticus smiled.

"Ya spoil me..." Cherry smirked.

"What can I say? I just like being creative." Atticus smiled.

Cherry then gently ate her snack so she wouldn't get carsick. And where the snack seemed healthy.

"That should hold you until the first stop." Atticus smiled to his best friend.

"Oh, man, this is awesome~..." Cherry moaned happily.

Atticus soon smiled as he had satisfied his best friend. Cherry then went off to see the others as she ate her breakfast sandwich.


Rover came into Connie's room as she put in piles of clothes into her suitcase and he made it look like he was helping, but was putting the clothes back into the drawer.

"It looks like someone doesn't want you to leave." Atlas chuckled, referring to Rover when he said someone.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Connie chuckled herself, putting her hands on her hips. "I packed this already! Rover, stop it, we have to leave soon."

Rocky groaned and rolled his eyes as he came over to Connie's side. Darla saw what he was trying to do and decided to beat him to Connie.

"Oh, hi, sweetie, are you all packed up?" Connie smiled to her niece.

"Uh-huh..." Darla nodded as she stood between her aunt and the dark man.

"Smart move." Rover whispered.

"Better than what you did." Darla teased.

Rover rolled his eyes to her.

Connie was then on her way out the door, but struggled slightly from her heavier bag and she then accidentally dropped it.

"Honey," Rocky smirked to Connie as he took her lighter bag. "Leave it."

"Well, it's such a nice day," Connie said as she picked up her heavier bag. "Why don't you take Rover and the other pets for a walk?"

"I'll do better than that," Rocky replied as he flicked his cigarette. "I'll take 'em for a ride."

"Yeah, one way!" Rover scoffed.

Connie began to try to carry her heavier bag and where this seemed to be a sign from the Fates. "Gotta go." she said as there was the honk of a horn.

Rocky then spun her around, making her drop her bag again.

"Rocky~..." Connie giggled, but something felt different deep inside of herself.

The two shared a quick kiss as Cherry, Mo, and Darla rushed to the ride to take them away for a little while. When Connie kissed Rocky, she didn't really feel anything and she wondered if he was really the one for her and if there was maybe someone better out there for her. She then began to think about Atlas. She then went to give Rover a kiss on the forehead and was also thinking of giving Atlas a kiss as well. The horn honked before Connie could see Atlas again and the driver urged for her to get a move on.

"Okay, I'm coming!" Connie called and grabbed her bags.

Rover then smirked as he pretended to be Connie's suitcase.

"What are you thinking?" Patch asked.

"Shh, you'll blow my cover." Rover told him.

One girl from the car chuckled. "Connie, I think you got the wrong bag."

Connie giggled and pet her dog. "Rover, what're you doing? Stop fooling around."

The Fates were indeed making the heavier bag heavy for Connie only so Atlas would carry it for her and place it in the car for her.

"Thanks again." Connie smiled to Atlas.

"You have a good time." Atlas gave her a goodbye hug, but wanted to kiss her.

"Bye, thank you so much," Connie smiled as she waved and the car drove off with her and the others. "Goodbye, I'll miss you, Rover!"

Rocky smiled until he heard his girlfriend say the dog's name and not his own.

"You should dump Rocky and go for Mr. Muscles over there" One of the girls whispered to Connie as she referred to Atlas when she whispered Mr. Muscles.

"Oh, I don't know..." Connie looked shy slightly. "He probably already has a girlfriend, but he is gorgeous and so helpful."

The girls soon drove off to their destination.


Rover went inside the condo and sulked as he plopped himself down in front of the TV and watched cartoons. Patch and the rest of the pets soon joined him.

"So, what are we watching?" Ellie May asked.

"Looks like Looney Tunes." Colette smiled excitedly.

"Looks like it." Patch smiled.

Rover was too upset to say or do anything. Rocky then smirked as he looked to the pets. Rover got nervous about that, he looked to see an open window and ran to it so they could get away from Rocky.

"Rover, remember Atticus and Atlas," Patch smiled before looking to see where they were. "Where are they?"

"Atticus! Atlas! HELP!" Colette yelped as Rocky tried to come after her and the other pets.

Atticus and Atlas both rushed inside and where they didn't get far as Rocky hit them both with a glowing hammer. "Oof!"

"ATTICUS!" Patch's eyes widened at his owner, then glared up to Rocky. "Why, you!"

Rocky soon did the same to the pets as it knocked each one out.


"Okay, help me with 'em." Rocky said to the one that sold him the magical hammer.

"You got it, Rocky." the stranger agreed.

The two of them soon got the pets and two unconscious people into Rocky's vehicle. They rode up to the Hoover Dam.

"This'll teach Atlas for trying to steal my girl and I gotta let the kid join him; can't let there be a witness." Rocky said.

"You made a wise decision, Rocky, you take the pets, I'll get the guys." the man chuckled.

"You got it," Rocky nodded as he then held the bag which had the pets inside. "Goodbye, I'll miss you and your friends, Rover," he then said, obviously not meaning it as he then dropped the bag into the water to make the pets drown to their deaths. He soon heard the man grunting as he tried to got Atticus and Atlas over the dam and into the water. "What's takin' you so long?" he growled.

"I think they're trying to fight back, Rocky." the other guy grunted as he struggled.

"Or that they are too heavy for you." Rocky rolled his eyes before he helped the man get Atlas and Atticus into the water.

"This'll teach that redhead for trying to move on your girl." the other man then chuckled.

The two men soon tossed Atlas and Atticus over the dam. SPLASH! The two bags went down under the water while Rocky looked very satisfied.

"You don't think they'll live, right?" The other man asked.

"Not a chance," Rocky replied. "They'll be drowned."

"And how are you gonna explain this to the others when they come back?" the other man then asked.

"Hey, you let me worry about that, bud," Rocky replied. "I've got a couple of weeks to cook up something until my chick comes back."

"And what about her niece and her friends?" The other man asked.

"Just trust me, okay?" Rocky chuckled. "Come on, let's go before someone sees us."

"Okay." The other man said.

Rocky and the one man then went off.


Teller was standing outside of a car with Penn, both had sunglasses and smoked cigarettes as the two rode off. "Oh, I may be silent, but I can be deadly..." he whispered roughly as he saw what the two men had done.

"We're not gonna let them get away with that." Penn said.

"Nope..." Teller replied. "For once, I agree with you."

"Then how's about we put Rocky's plan a different way?" Penn said.

"Oh, like you have a better idea than I do," Teller smirked to his younger, yet bigger partner. "Let's hear it."

"Let's use our magic and get our friends to a someplace to a fishing boat so then they don't die," Penn said. "And I'm sure, within a few months; they'll be back and Rocky will spill the beans."

"A few months?!" Teller scolded.

"However long those other people will be gone!" Penn shrugged.

"I like it though..." Teller had to admit.

"Great." Penn said.

Teller nodded. The two then went to sneak off together to save the innocent ones. Penn hummed the Great Escape in an attempt to be funny.

"Really?" Teller asked.

"Shut up, you love me." Penn smirked.

"Whatever." Teller rolled his eyes.

Penn took out two magic wnads and handed Teller his.

Teller took it as he then climbed on top of the dam to signal the magic. "Ready, Penn?"

"Ready." Penn said.

The two magicians charged up their magic wands as they then zapped them into the water to save the ones who were trapped under the water. And where they were teleported to where a fishing boat was. The two magicians then shook each other's hands as they helped the poor victims. Penn then smirked and was about to push Teller into the water.

Teller jumped down as Penn then slipped from an act of karma and fell into the water. "SON OF A-!"

Splash!

"What was that?" Teller asked before seeing Penn wasn't with him anymore. "And where did Penn go?"

"HELP!" Penn called out.

"Penn?" Teller asked before covering his mouth ,looking slightly amused. "Are you okay?"

"Get me out of here!" Penn yelled.

"Wait right there, I'll go get help." Teller called back, then rushed off to save the day.

This caused Penn to sigh.
