Mo held Estelle as she still cried about the loss of her twin. "It's okay, sweetie... He'll be back..."
"But how do we get him back?" Estelle trembled. "We don't even know where he is!"
"We'll find your brother, somehow, I promise." Mo said while comforting her daughter.
Estelle sniffled in her mother's hold.
"You guys think maybe Aunt Cherry and Uncle Forte could help us?" Vincent suggested.
"They might... But, what could they do?" Mo shrugged.
"No harm in asking..." Estelle said, clinging closer to Mo.
"Okay, okay, we'll go and ask Aunt Cherry and Uncle Forte and see if they can help." Mo said, comforting her daughter even more.
And so that's what they decided to do as they left to go and see Cherry and Forte to see if they could help them find out where Akito is. There was a womanly figure with light milk chocolate brown skin in the garden with a floppy pink hat doing gardening.
"Aunt Cherry?" Estelle and Vincent asked.
The figure looked up, revealing to be actually a very young man. "Oh hello there!" he chuckled, sounding quite feminine.
"Uh... We must have the wrong address, we're looking for Cherry and Maestro Forte." Mo explained.
"That's where you are," the young man smiled. "I'm doing gardening for my mother."
"Do you know if their home, we really need to speak with them." Mo requested.
"Yeah, like really, really, really need to speak with them." Vincent said, urgently.
"This is a matter of family emergency!" Estelle shrieked.
The young man looked a little sad for them. "Mom's in the back."
The Fudo family nodded, thanking him and went to the Forte backyard which was revealed to be a personal graveyard with black roses. Cherry was relaxing there like it was a picnic spot and was under a black parasol to block out the scolding sun. Felicity was there with her, playing with her dolls and her dollhouse.
"Aunt Cherry! Aunt Cherry! We need yours and Uncle Forte's help! Now!" Estelle cried out as they began to run towards them.
Cherry had never heard Estelle this worried or scared before, this must have been very serious. "What happened, dear?" she asked, stoically as always.
"W-We're not sure..." Estelle got in a frenzy. "We were having free time from our studies and there was this portal that sucked him in somewhere!"
Cherry looked like she may have known what they were talking about. "What did it look like?"
"It looked like some kind of rainbowish color and it showed some kind of city before it closed up." Estelle described.
Cherry looked firm.
They all followed Cherry as she turned a picture a little crooked, showing the bookcase to wheel away and show a secret passage downstairs.
"Stay close to me." Cherry told the others as she grabbed a candelabra and went down the several stairs to the secret room she kept hidden from everybody else.
They did so as they all followed her down the stairs.
"Aunt Cherry, where do these stairs lead anyways?" Vincent asked her.
"A special room..." Cherry said as they were nearly there.
"1,001... 1,002... 1,003..." Estelle lazily counted. "Are we there yet?"
"Not yet..." Cherry sighed.
"Boy there sure a lot of stairs here..." Estelle moaned. "1,006... 1,007... 1,008... 1,009... 1,010..."
It felt like the stairs were going on forever, but of course, they finally got to the special room that Cherry was taking them to.
"Finally! Sheesh why did it have to have so many stairs?" Vincent asked.
"Sorry... But I have to keep this room under tight security..." Cherry said as she walked with them, setting the candelabra down.
Estelle and Vincent followed as they saw several jars filled with books they had never seen before. There was a Canterlot High yearbook, Ben Ravencroft's spell book, a glittering pink rose that was like an enchanted rose, the red feather from Peter Pan's hat, a golden shell from King Triton, a princess tiara that nearly looked like Cinderella's, a small tiki statue from the Hawaiian islands, a dragon pendent that resembled Mushu, and a feather from the Grand Duke of Owls.
"Aunt Cherry, are these all trinkets from each adventure you've ever had with or without Mom and Dad?" Estelle asked.
"Both..." Cherry replied, she then took out a science book and flipped through the pages to find portals.
Vincent looked to the spell book, very curious of it and wanted to get it.
"Ah, ah, ah, don't touch that!" Cherry hissed at him. "We don't want any evil warlocks or witches to escape, do we?"
"Yikes, good point." Vincent said, withdrawing his touch.
"What are you looking for, Aunt Cherry?" Estelle said, while trying to get a look at what her aunt was trying to look for.
"Find out where that portal went to..." Cherry said as she looked through her book.
Estelle saw a Wonka bar. "Aren't you gonna eat that?"
"That's when I went to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with my friend Katie," Cherry explained. "That was, of course, before they were married and had their children." she then gestured to the wedding photo with her as the chief bridesmaid with the whimsical candy maker himself with a short purple-haired woman with blue eyes.
"Cool." Estelle said.
Cherry found the page she was looking for. "Apparently Akito accidentally fell into a time stream portal... They show up every 30 moons and normally, they can take anyone unsuspecting in with them and transport them into the distant future," she explained to her niece and nephew as she adjusted her glasses. "It appears that Akito has become a time traveler."
"Do you know where he is now?" Estelle asked, worriedly.
"Let's see... It's the 17th..." Cherry hummed as she kept looking further. "Ah... Here we are, the September 17th one has transported him into the year 2772 when a meteor struck the Earth and knocked it off it's original axis. The planet wasn't destroyed and no one was killed, but it's mutated the descendants of..." she looked at the print and looked dubious of what she just read. "The Looney Tunes..."
"Huh?" Estelle, Felicity, and Vincent asked. "The Looney Tunes?"
"So then, you're saying that Akito's been sent into a timeline that has super-powered Looney Tunes?" Estelle asked, trying to figure out what her aunt was telling them.
"That's what my book says..." Cherry scratched her head as she kept looking through.
"How do we get him back?" Vincent asked.
"Well... No one's invented a backwards time machine yet..." Cherry said as she closed the book. "I'm not sure how, but we'll get him back."
"What about Papa's temps voyage regarder?" Felicity asked, referring to her father's time travel watch.
"It can't take us all at once," Cherry said softly. "It could only take a few of us at a time and I'm not sure Estelle and Vincent would be able to survive on their own in the very distant future. Who knows what the world is like 600 years from now?"
"Please, Aunt Cherry, please let us use it." Estelle begged.
"I don't like the idea of you all going through the time stream by yourselves, I know you can take care of yourselves, but you better need some kind of security." Cherry said, actually concerned for their safety.
"How else would we get there all together then?" Vincent asked.
Cherry blinked, then looked serious. "We'll need a DeLorean, some plutonium, and lightning."
"No, really..." Vincent said to his aunt.
Cherry looked firm. "I'm serious, boy."
"Okay well, where are we going to get Delorean, some plutonium and lightning?" Estelle asked.
At a calm family home, there were two boys who seemed to be arguing yet again while their mother tried to sort them out and a man with wild white hair and crazy brown eyes as he came to the door and looked to Cherry with a smile.
"Uncle Emmett, we need to borrow your time machine." Cherry said firmly to him.
"Marty destroyed it, don't you remember?" the scientist asked her.
Cherry went to the garage and pulled back the covering tarp to see the 1980's sports car.
"Cherry, I told you time travel is very dangerous and we can only use this for driving now!" Emmett said to the girl.
"Please... It's an emergency..." Cherry said to him. "Atticus's son has been sent to the year 2772 and we need to get him back."
"Well... Okay... Just don't do anything too dangerous or run into of your descendants... I told you and Marty a thousand times, the consequences could be disastrous!" Emmett warned her before she went to the car with Felicity, Estelle, and Vincent.
"Oh, I hope this thing can still be able to time travel." Vincent said.
"CHERRY, IF YOU GET IN AN ACCIDENT, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE!" Emmett called to her.
"Yeah, yeah..." Cherry said as she put the car in reverse as they were in a free lot and able to speed up. She then purposely started to drive 88 miles per hour which was very quick and intense for the kids.
"Wahoo! This is amazing!" Vincent cheered as they were speeding up.
"Maman, slowing down, sil vous plait!" Felicity cried. "You are going to get us in trouble with the police!"
"No I won't." Cherry said stoically as she kept speeding up on purpose.
Estelle felt very pale and nervous as there was a brick wall coming up. "Aunt Cherry, turn! TURN!"
"Nope." Cherry said as she kept driving toward it.
"WE ARE GOING TO DIE!" Vincent screamed out of fear.
"No we're not." Cherry said.
Suddenly, there were electric lights bolting on the tires and they were all gone in a flash of bright light with twin trails of flames from the acceleration and the license plate was spinning around on the road until it fell flat on the ground after they had gone deep into the future.
