Akito and Estelle hopped out with their suitcases. "Hello, we're back!" they called.
Leo and Magenta hopped to their owners with smiles and purred, nuzzling against their owners. The Loonatics smiled at the warm embrace and reunion, even Duck did, even though he was annoyed with the twins when they first came into his life.
"We're so glad that you both are here to stay." Duck said with a smile.
"It's good to be back." Akito said with a smile back to him.
"I have never seen such remarkable children," Zadavia said to the twins. "It's a shame your brother and cousin aren't staying with you here."
"Oh, Zadavia, before I forget, is it okay if Patch and Jenny come with us for our next mission?" Estelle asked.
"Patch and Jenny?" Zadavia asked, not knowing who those two were.
"Yeah, Jenny is Vincent's girlfriend and Patch is our family pet who is also a member of the Pound Puppies." Estelle said.
"Pound Puppies?" Duck asked. "What are the Pound Puppies?"
"I've heard all about them," Tech spoke up. "They're specially trained dogs who help out other dogs, usually when they're in a shelter together, those who aren't Pound Puppies to find homes and people who would be specially designated for them."
"Yeah, Dad said that Patch became one when he tried to run away from home after what happened in Puppy School." Estelle helped explain.
"He ran away from home?" Lexi frowned. "Poor guy... He must've been so scared."
"He ran away during his first day at Puppy School and where he met the leader of the Pound Puppies in Shelter 17." Akito explained.
"Why did he run away during Puppy School?" Ace asked.
Akito began to tell them everything that both his dad and the Dalmatian told them.
"Gosh, that sounds awful, I wish we coulda been there..." Ace frowned.
"Yeah, it sounded very unpleasant," Estelle agreed. "He pulled through though and I'm glad they got Patch back on top and sent that evil dog away!"
"I don't get it," Duck spoke up. "If Vendella was Cruella's dog, what was she doing with Ivy?"
"Probably wanted to get revenge on Patch for sending that devil woman to an asylum and grounding her nearly for life." Akito shrugged with his best guess.
"I guess that would make some sense, that girl does sound like she would want revenge." Ace said.
"Anyways, after you both get unpacked, then we can get started." Tech said.
"Started on what?" Estelle asked.
"I thought maybe I could see what you already know so I know what to teach you with tutoring." Tech replied with a smile.
Akito and Estelle smiled, they were very excited about being tutored by Tech instead of their mother for a change, they then went to their rooms to get unpacked.
"Take all the time you need!" Tech called to them.
"Okay, Tech!" The twins called back.
"I really have missed those two." Duck said.
"We've noticed." Lexi said.
"See?" Slam laughed, putting his hand on Duck's shoulder. "You like them..."
"Eh, they're not so bad," Duck folded his arms with a smirk. "They're pretty good sidekicks."
Everyone rolled their eyes to that slightly.
"I've always believed in them from the moment they were destined in the first place," Zadavia agreed. "They are incredibly talented and there is much more to them than it seems."
As soon as the twins got to their rooms, they started to unpack and where, of course, Akito used his super speed to unpack faster and as for Estelle, she used her Wiccan powers to unpack faster as well. Tech was going into a new room that was in the Tower that was made for the twins. It was a classroom like room, it had a board in the front, a couple of desks, a few shelves with books, and there was even a desk for Tech to sit at like in a traditional school with him as the teacher and the twins as his students. He was really looking forward to this.
After about few minutes later, the twins were now on their way to the new room. Tech was writing on the board like a typical first day of public school. Akito and Estelle walked in the room and stood behind him.
"Good day, class," Tech greeted, laughing a little. "I'll be your teacher, Mr. Tech E. Coyote."
"Hello, Mr. Coyote." Akito and Estelle said in unison before laughing a little.
Tech laughed a little with them. "Please, take your seats."
Akito and Estelle sat in the desks, feeling the real school atmosphere that they never really had since they were home-schooled all their lives.
"Before I start teaching you, I just want to see what you know," Tech said to them and handed them small packets of about five pages. "If you don't know the answer to something, just skip it, and please, turn your papers over when you're done." he then handed them pencils.
"Yes, Mr. Coyote." The twins replied.
Tech laughed a little at that, he then set the timer to half an hour. "You may begin."
Akito and Estelle nodded and set to work.
'Man, this is boring, why can't Tech be himself and teach Akito and Estelle in his lab? I mean, come on.' Leo thought to himself as he had found a way to sneak in without anyone noticing.
The twins worked the best they could. They knew most of everything, but there were actually some points that they were struggling in. Though one of them knew some things better than the other. They did their best.
Soon, the half hour was up and Tech collected their papers to see how much they knew before he would start educating them the way he or they would want.
'This is so boring!' Leo thought to himself, annoyed.
"I hope we did okay..." Estelle whispered to her brother.
"I hope so too, that division is harder than it looks..." Akito replied.
"You thought that was hard?" Estelle smirked to him. "I thought it was kid's stuff!"
"Well, I'm a little rusty with that part of math." Akito replied.
"Well, let's just hope that we did okay or great." Estelle whispered.
"Wow, this math stuff must be important." Leo whispered to himself.
"Don't feel bad, guys, no one knows everything, not even me sometimes." Tech smiled to them as he continued to grade their papers.
"Yes, sir." The twins said.
Tech continued, nearly done this time.
Akito looked all around the room. "It feels like we're in a real school..." he said. "Only, it's just us here."
"I thought it'd give you a taste of what school is like with other people, but it'll be just you two and no one else." Tech replied.
"Cool." The twins said.
Tech was finished and stacked their papers. "Well, congratulations, you passed your first test."
"Yay!" Akito and Estelle cheered.
Tech handed their papers back to show them how they did.
"Wahoo! They passed!" Leo cheered out loud. "Oops."
Tech, Akito, and Estelle looked to him.
"Leo, what're you doing here?" Akito asked his Fuzz-Z.
"I wanted to see what's so great about school and where it is kind of boring." Leo said.
"Oh, Leo, school's not boring..." Akito said, picking up his fuzzy pet.
"Sure looks like it..." Leo groaned slightly.
"School is very important, especially when you're our age." Estelle tried to help explain.
"Okay, okay, I'll take your words for it," Leo said. "Anyways, Tech, what are they going to learn?"
"Well, the basics, and I decided for your science class, you'll be in my inventing room with me." Tech smiled.
"That sounds fair and awesome!" Akito cheered.
"I thought it'd be a little treat for ya." Tech chuckled.
"Yay!" Estelle cheered.
Tech laughed and ruffled up her hair playfully.
"Well, I guess that does sound exciting..." Leo still wasn't so sure.
"Don't worry, I'll still play with you whenever I can, but I need an education since our mom's not here," Akito told his pet. "I promise though, it won't be all boring."
"Yay! Well, I'll get going then." Leo said before leaving.
"Okay, I'll see you in a bit, this shouldn't take too long now." Akito told his Fuzz-Z.
Leo smiled and hopped off to his own little private business.
"Okay, then, where were we before Leo interrupted?" Tech asked.
"We're going to your invention lab for science class." Estelle reported.
"Ah, yes," Tech now remembered. "For your math, I'm going to help you two out with division and multiplication since you both seem to need help more there than others. For your history, you'll learn about Acmetropolis and how we all came together... I also thought that when you go to lunch, you can have free time after you eat, and I saved my lab for you as the best for last."
Akito and Estelle smiled, liking their new school schedule.
"Oh, by the way, here are the schedules for you both." Tech said before giving them both schedules.
"Thanks." the twins said, taking their schedules like at a traditional school.
"So, after lunch, we just have an hour of free time before we can go in your lab?" Akito asked.
"You can think of it as recess." Tech smiled back to them.
"Cool!" The twins said.
"So, when's gym?" Akito asked.
"You could do that for your free time if you want," Tech smiled. "I'm not really the gym type... You could train with Ace if you would like."
"That sounds fair," Estelle smiled. "I'll practice my ballet then."
"Yeah, you can practice your ballet with Lexi." Akito smiled.
"That's sounds great." Estelle said, excited about spending time with her sisterly figure.
"I know you're anxious to get started, but you guys should get readjusted back here," Tech suggested. "We'll start first thing tomorrow."
"Okay." Akito and Estelle agreed to him.
Tech smiled. "Class dismissed."
The twins smiled, then left, very eager to start their school lessons with him.
'Oh, this is so exciting!' Akito thought to himself, excitedly.
'I can't wait to spend more time with Lexi.' Estelle thought to herself.
Tech smiled to the twins.
Akito and Estelle went to their rooms to readjust into staying back in the tower.
Zadavia was about to leave, but she remembered what the twins asked her and decided to see them before she would take her leave. "I've made a decision..."
"Yes?" Akito and Estelle asked eagerly.
"Patch and Jenny can come over, I would very much like to meet them." Zadavia smiled.
"That's great!" The twin cheered.
"You should know that Patch is as strong as me and Dad and his mate is a cocker spaniel named Colette." Akito said.
"Yeah and Jenny is a wonderful singer and can also play the piano and she has an adorable kitty named Oliver." Estelle said.
"Sounds like you kids have quite the adventures, even when you're outta Acmetropolis." Rev noted, going on one of his fast paced rants.
"Yep, we sure have." Akito said.
"We even stopped someone from marrying the wrong person." Estelle said.
"Yeah and also actually got to see and meet real live Pokemon." Akito said.
"Get outta here..." Duck said to them.
"It's true!" the twins insisted.
"Wow, you've done more than I could ever hope for..." Ace chuckled.
"Yep, we got to see a Pikachu, a Lapras, a Squirtle, a Bulbasaur and all of the pokemon from the Kanto Region and Orange Islands, except for Dragonite, but we did get to see the three legendary bird Pokemon and the Guardian of the Sea Lugia." Akito said.
"Yeah and trust me, you do not ever, ever, ever, ever, ever make a legendary Pokemon angry or even try to capture it, Lawrence learned that the hard way." Estelle informed them.
"Lawrence?" Zadavia asked.
"Long story..." Estelle said, then let out a small yawn. "Oh, excuse me..."
"Rest easy, children, I shall see you next time." Zadavia smiled and then went to get herself home.
The others said goodbye to her.
"Well, I think you guys are ready for some dinner," Lexi smiled to the twins. "What'll it be?"
"Steak and broccoli and macaroni n cheese!" The twins cheered.
"Steak and broccoli for me." Akito said.
"And mac n cheese for me." Estelle said.
The Loonatics chuckled to that. Rev smiled and decided to cook up some chow for them. Akito and Estelle went back to play with their Fuzz-Z's and catch up until dinner would be ready.
"I really wish I could grow that way I could be able to wrestle with you." Leo sighed.
Akito laughed a little and ruffled the top of his head. "Maybe another time, little buddy."
"Yeah, I guess." Leo said before beginning to climb up his owner's right arm.
Akito laughed and sat up on his bed, taking one of his books. "How 'bout a story, buddy?" he offered.
"Yay, a story!" Leo cheered before leaping into his owner's right shoulder.
Akito smiled and started to read the story of The Frog Prince to his pet.
"No! I want one that has adventure and excitement like Hercules!" Leo whined.
"Um... Okay?" Akito looked to him, he then put the book back and took out the Hercules book and started to read that one.
"Now this is more like it." Leo said, enjoying the story.
Akito hid an eye roll, he mostly liked the Frog Prince story from the story he heard from his Aunt Darla, but he went along with it. Leo smiled as he held onto every word.
"Oh, I hope I can see Barbie again soon..." Estelle sighed as she practiced her ballet moves. "You should've been there, Magenta... I was in the Nutcracker Suite with Clara and Prince Eric to stop the evil Mouse King..."
"Cool, did you bring the pink ballet shoes with you?" Magneta asked. "You know, the magical pink ballet shoes." she then said.
"I think so..." Estelle paused her dancing and went to check in her closet. She did find her ballet slippers, but looked for the magical ones that were given to her to allow her to visit other time periods, but only in the past and not in the distant future like she was right now. "Ah, there they are..." she took out the slippers and went to show them to Magenta.
"Wow, they're so beautiful, I bet you'll be able to visit other ballet world stories." Magenta said, admiring the ballet shoes.
"I haven't tried yet, but I figure the next time I'm home, I'll give it a shot." Estelle smiled.
"Cool, well, I hope Swan Lake is the next place you visit." Magenta said.
"Maybe..." Estelle smiled with a sigh. "That's my favorite. Aunt Darla even gave me a ballerina leotard of that for Christmas we were at the Plaza Hotel and met our cousin, Eloise... Funny thing, we didn't even know she was our cousin until Aunt Darla came from the airport with Dad."
"Where was she?" Magenta asked.
Estelle shrugged. "Probably to Paris or Europe... I hear she goes there all the time."
"Cool, maybe you'll be able to go there sometime." Magenta said.
"Yeah, maybe." Estelle said.
"What would you like to do now?" Magenta asked.
Estelle shrugged. "What do you want to do?"
Magenta gave a smile back. "Um... Tell me about when you met the Nutcracker Prince."
Estelle began to tell her Fuzz-Z the whole story and where it was a very exciting story. Magenta smiled, very much enjoying it, she also found it interesting to be a story within a story since Clara had told Kelly, Felicity, and Eloise about the story while Estelle was gone into a whole new world.
"And where the performance went great." Estelle said, finishing her story.
Magenta smiled back, very much enjoying it. "If I had hands, I'd be clapping."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Estelle smiled back.
"Dinner's ready!" Ace called.
Akito and Estelle smiled and ran to have their dinner with the Loonatics, cheering happily. Ace smiled to them, he unknowingly looked to Lexi then as she was coming out of her room just then as well and couldn't help but mostly focus on her.
"Hey, Ace." Akito greeted.
Ace jumped a little bit. "Oh, ya snuck up on me, kid..." he smiled apologetically.
"That's okay, you were just focused on Lexi." Akito said.
"Uh, n-no, I wasn't..." Ace folded his arms and tried to sound casual.
Akito glanced at him in disbelief.
"Okay, maybe a little..." Ace them admitted and gave in.
"You like her, don't you?" Akito asked with a smirk.
Ace folded his arms. "That's not important right now."
"So, yes..." Akito smirked then as he went to sit with the others.
Ace rolled his eyes slightly, but he had to admit that Akito was right. He didn't like Lexi though. He loved her.
"So, Lexi, are you and Ace a thing yet?" Estelle asked. "You know, girlfriend and boyfriend?"
Lexi blushed. "Where'd that come from?"
Estelle shrugged.
"Well..." Lexi nervously tugged on her ears slightly. "I've actually had a crush on him ever since we all first came together... I've never really been able to come out and say it though."
"Really? Why's that?" Estelle asked, confused of why the female rabbit team member hadn't told Ace.
"You'll understand when you're older, Estelle," Lexi said to her. "It can be hard sometimes... Like, when you're alone, you just wanna scream it from the mountain tops, but whenever you're near the person you love, it makes you scared... It's kinda hard to explain..."
"I'm sure he feels the same way." Estelle encouraged.
"I'm sure he does too, but... It's complicated..." Lexi sighed, resting her cheek in her paw.
"Well, then why don't you tell him after dinner?" Estelle asked Lexi.
"I guess I could try, but it's an interesting thing..." Lexi shrugged. "I'll give it a shot after dinner though."
Estelle smiled to her.
After all the Loonatics sat down, they started to eat their dinner and moved on to other topics.
"Hey, Slam, maybe after dinner, we can wrestle in the training room before my training with Ace," Akito said. "Of course, I will still do my flying with Rev."
Slam laughed, loving that idea and gently bumped his fist.
"Sounds like you're gonna have a busy evening, kid." Tech chuckled.
"Well, I might as well when we're not on missions..." Akito shrugged innocently.
"Yeah, gotta keep in shape and not get rusty with any of your powers." Duck said.
"Kinda like you." Estelle teased.
"Oh, hush..." Duck folded his arms.
"What're you gonna do after dinner, Estelle?" Rev asked.
"Just focusing on my dancing, I haven't been in my classes lately since I got here," Estelle shrugged. "I'd really like to do Swan Lake when I grow up."
"I'm sure that'd be quite a show." Slam smiled at her.
"Yeah and we'll look forward to it." Rev said.
Estelle blushed to them, she really hoped she could have that happen.
Rev gave the others who wanted more food and after they all finished, he set to washing up the dishes. Akito and Estelle looked to Ace and Lexi, wishing them luck and went off to their rooms to do what their after dinner plans they had made earlier. Ace and Lexi looked to each other and sat across from each other at the dinner table. After everyone else left, it was now awkwardly silent for the two. Ace and Lexi looked to each other with their eyes meeting.
"So..." Lexi started, but unable to finish.
"So..." Ace nearly repeated. "Whatcha thinkin'?"
"Why do you ask?" Lexi nearly smirked to him.
"Oh, can't a guy ask a girl what she's thinkin'?" Ace asked, trying to sound casual, but that question usually implied that the guy liked the girl and wanted to see her.
"Oh um... Just thinking about how great it is to be part this team and how great it is that the kids are staying here." Lexi replied.
"Yeah..." Ace chuckled. "Those kids are great... I bet their parents are really happy for them."
"Yeah..." Lexi dabbed her knuckles together. "I bet..."
"Um, Lex?" Ace said to her, looking into her lime green eyes. "If you ain't too busy the next time we have time off from a mission... Maybe you and me could go out for a bite to eat?" he invited. "That is, if you would want to..."
"I'd love to, Ace!" Lexi cheered before blushing and then clearing her voice. "I-I mean, sure, that sounds great."
Ace blushed at her excitement. "I-It's a date."
"Right..." Lexi nodded in agreement, smiling sweetly that he had called it a date.
They then shared a comforting hug with each other in warm embrace. Akito and Estelle had secretly watched and smiled to each other, happy for their bunny friends. They both then sneaked away to do their plans.
Once Akito entered the training room, he saw Slam there.
"Alright, Slam, you ready to do this?" Akito asked.
"Ready!" Slam saluted to him.
Akito grinned. "Then, let us begin."
Slam got into his wrestling stance, ready to take on Akito. Akito did the same, ready to take on Slam. They both then charged at each other. Slam and Akito held each against each other, having a lot of the same strength and willpower towards one another. And where it seemed like they both wouldn't lose or win and where it would end up in a tie.
There was slight shaking in the Tower because of it, but everyone was calm about it since they knew it was just Akito and Slam and not an earthquake. And it where it went on for a while, but then it all stopped as Akito and Slam stopped wrestling, deciding that they were equal and would become wrestling partners.
"You're great, kid," Slam said to Akito. "I wish you coulda been around before the meteor hit."
"Me too, but that doesn't mean we still can't be wrestling partners." Akito smiled at the dare devil.
"Maybe." Slam chuckled.
Akito smiled, once they rested up enough, they had a rematch.
After a while later, Akito went off to find Rev since he was going to be flying with the roadrunner team member before training with Ace. Rev was standing nearly on the end of the tower, looking out to the sky.
Akito came to his side and looked up at him. "Okay, I'm ready."
"Good." Rev smiled to him.
"You look like Batman from up here." Akito commented.
"Cool, thanks, well then, let's get started." Rev said.
"Agreed." Atticus nodded.
Rev spread his arms out and did quick warm-ups. Akito decided to do that to since he just got out of wrestling.
"Ready?" Rev asked.
"Ready!" Akito told him.
"GO!" Rev called and started to go with him for their practice flight patterns.
Their flight patterns were great as usual and where they then saw a huge cloud.
"Perfect, that will make a perfect target for my super breath." Akito said.
"Try it, kid, try it!" Rev encouraged for him to do so.
"You got it, let's see if I either a blow it away or create my own storm cloud." Akito said before he used his super breath on the cloud to see if he would blow it away or let it become a storm cloud.
Rev watched for him. The cloud was being slowly blown away, but it was turning on itself and was changing color.
"I think it's both!" Rev said to him.
"Cool!" Akito cheered.
They both heard thunder as lightning bolts were now coming out of the storm cloud and it started to rain.
"Whoa!" Rev backed up a little. "We better make today's practice quick before we catch cold."
"Ah, we'll be fine..." Akito insisted about flying around in the rain. He then used his super breath on the storm cloud, causing it to separate and become normal clouds.
"Good job." Rev smiled to him.
Akito smiled back, but let out a small sniffle and then sneezed.
"Bless ya, you okay?" Rev asked.
"I'm fine..." Akito insisted, though let out another sneeze.
"Uh-Oh, I think you have a cold." Rev said before going over to feel the boy's forehead.
"No, really, I'm fine..." Akito insisted before letting out another sneeze and where this one was a little louder, sending Rev flying a bit.
Rev yelled out and grabbed onto the end of a building before he would fly any farther. Akito sniffled and looked a little dizzy.
Akito was taken straight back to the tower and put to bed.
Lexi had a thermometer in his mouth and checked it after a few minutes. "Yep, I'm sorry, Akito, but you're sick."
"What?! But I've never been sick before," Akito said. "And neither has Estelle, why did I suddenly get sick?"
"Well, you were out in the rain..." Lexi reminded him. "That can usually give someone the sniffles... I suggest one day of bed rest with chicken soup and orange juice."
"No, I can't be sick!" Akito sat up in his bed. "I'm fine, really!" he then let out another sneeze and groaned a little.
"Sorry, kid..." Lexi told him apologetically.
Akito groaned as he covered himself with his blanket.
Lexi and Akito then heard someone sneeze, thanks to their super hearing and where it sounded like Estelle. She went into the girls' room.
Estelle had a tissue against her nose and blew it rather noisily.
"You too?" Lexi sighed.
"I don't know where it could have come from..." Estelle sniffled slightly.
"Well, your brother's sick, maybe you got it from him." Lexi suggested.
"Yeah, maybe, after all, he does have super breath..." Estelle shrugged before sneezing into her tissue.
"I'm sorry, Estelle, but I'm afraid you and Akito are gonna have to spend some more time in bed..." Lexi said to them.
"They're sick!?" Duck grew frantic, he rushed in the room and got to Estelle's side. "Sneeze on me, cough on me!"
"DUCK!" Lexi pushed him away out of the room.
"Why do you want to get sick?" Estelle asked the duck team member while sniffling.
"So I don't have to work..." Duck folded his arms.
"Like you do when you're not." Lexi snapped slightly.
"Sorry, Duck, but I'm not going to get you sick." Estelle said before going to sleep.
"Nuts!" Duck groaned.
"Goodbye, Duck!" Lexi walked out with him to allow Estelle to get some rest.
Akito and Estelle were miserable since they caught colds, but they hoped this wouldn't interfere with their next mission with the Loonatics. They both then went to sleep, hoping that they both would have wonderful dreams.
Cherry was grocery shopping and had Simon in her free arm as she was checking out certain products, but she was then given a private call. "Hello?"
"You have an inter-dimensional call from Zadavia." the call told her.
"Yes, I accept the charges..." Cherry rolled her eyes only slightly.
Zadavia's image appeared in front of her. "Cherry, I'm afraid your niece and nephew have fallen ill and there is an upcoming mission... How are Felicity and Simon?"
"Felicity is immune to illnesses." Cherry informed.
"That's great. And what about Simon, is he also immune to illnesses?" Zadavia asked.
"As far as we know..." Cherry was actually unsure.
Simon was reaching for the kitchen cutlery and wanted to play with it.
"No, Simon..." Cherry kept him away from the sharp objects. "I haven't seen him get sick at all, but I was once told he had a bad case of the hiccups when I was away from home for a week once."
"Oh, well then, maybe Vincent and Felicity should go." Zadavia said.
"I suppose, sorry to hear about Akito and Estelle, send them my best wishes..." Cherry said.
Simon grabbed one of the knives and slashed it in the air, cutting some of his mother's hair off, but never injuring or slicing her skin.
"Simon..." Cherry said lowly and firmly.
Simon held the knife close to him, not wanting his mother to take it away.
Cherry sighed to him. "I'll tell Felicity when I'm done with my errands, Zadavia.
"Excellent, Zadavia out..." the alien woman replied before signing off.
"Simon..." Cherry scolded. "Put it back..."
Simon lowly growled and put the knife back on the display.
"For your birthday..." Cherry then promised and pushed her cart with him still in her arm as they continued to do grocery shopping.
While that was going on, Vincent and Atticus were playing with Patch.
Vincent's futuristic bracelet then began to blink red, telling them that it was time for a mission. "Hey, Patch, why don't you come with me this time?" he then asked the Dalmatian dog.
Patch whined that their game was interrupted, but he liked the idea of going with Vincent to the future. "Okay..." he said softly.
"I'll get Jenny." Atticus smiled to them and went inside the house.
Vincent smiled back and pet the dog. "Sorry, we'll play again after if you're up for it." he then offered to cheer Patch up.
"Of course it'll cheer me up, but I'm glad that we get to go to the future." Patch said.
"Yeah, it's always fun." Vincent smiled.
Jenny came out to join them, she had a change of clothes to look more ready and had her own version of a Loonatics uniform instead of her normal clothes in order to blend in and fit in with the heroic and futuristic atmosphere. "Okay, I'm ready to go."
Vincent's eyes widened and he blushed to her.
"How do I look?" Jenny asked.
"Amazing..." Vincent whispered.
"Wow, Jenny really does look amazing in those clothes." Patch said as soon as he saw what the girl was wearing.
"Yeah..." Vincent bashfully agreed.
"So, how do we get going then?" Jenny asked.
"Oh, right..." Vincent face-palmed himself.
A portal came for them and they came closer to it.
"After you." Vincent told the girl he liked.
Jenny smiled to him and she went ahead into the portal first. Vincent then went through the portal after her and then Patch went through the portal. Jenny couldn't help but let out a few screams since she was surprised and a little overwhelmed, but she got over it soon.
Unfortunately, Akito and Estelle had not yet recovered from their colds and were still in bed.
"I hate being sick." Akito said before grabbing a tissue, feeling a sneeze coming on.
Leo winced from the sneeze. "Gesundheit."
"Thanks..." Akito mumbled. He then heard the portal appear in the living room, thanks to his super hearing.
The Loonatics were just given their mission from Zadavia and they came to see the kids. Felicity was shaking her legs a little, but came to the Loonatics as well.
"Introducing, Miss Jennifer Foxworth!" Vincent called.
Patch did a fanfare imitation.
The red-haired girl stepped out of the portal with a giggle. "You can just call me Jenny."
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jenny." Lexi greeted.
"Nice to meet you all too..." Jenny smiled, she gave them a small curtsy in which she always did to be polite like her mother had told her.
"She's cute." Duck whispered.
Vincent heard it and turned bright red a little. "Who, Jenny?" he asked nervous. "I don't love her, I mean love her... I mean like her..." he said, though obviously lying worse than Applejack.
"Whoa, kid, whoa, calm down." Duck whispered.
Vincent bit his lips.
"You must be Patch," Ace bent down to the Dalmatian's height. "It's nice to meet ya, I've heard a lot about you, especially that you're a Pound Puppy."
"Yep, I am, along with some incredible strength." Patch said before he lifted Duck up and off the ground.
"Whoa, hey, put me down!" Duck whined a little.
Vincent and Jenny laughed a little at that.
Vincent looked around. "Where's Akito and Estelle?"
"They got sick unfortunately, I'm afraid we'll have to do this mission without them." Tech explained.
"What's the mission?" Jenny asked.
"Somehow there's a woolly mammoth loose in the city..." Lexi explained, sounding strange about that case.
"Whoa, whoa, wait, an actual real life woolly mammoth?" Jenny asked. "Are there any other prehistoric animals that are alive in this future?"
"That's the strange thing, they were wiped out even before you kids or your parents were even born!" Tech exclaimed slightly.
"Even before my Papa." Felicity added since her father was literally hundreds of years old.
"Really? Then how can they be living in this time period?" Jenny asked.
"Our scientist in this time period were able to bring those animals back to life." Tech informed her.
"Really?" Jenny and Vincent asked.
"Yes." Tech nodded.
"Come on, we gotta move before someone gets hurt!" Ace urgently told them.
"What about Akito and Estelle?" Patch asked.
"I'm sure they'll be fine, we gotta move and fast!" Lexi sounded urgent as well.
"Okay then, let's go," Patch said. "Before any of the animals hurts anyone."
The Loonatics took Vincent, Patch, and Jenny onto their air jets and they bolted off from the Tower.
