Back at home...
Mo had a sleepover with Cherry and Atticus as they had babysat Junior and dogsat the puppies.
"Atticus, you and your family, Mo and Cherry are to go to Ape Island." Drell's voice said.
Attiicus then sat up in his bed and looked around. Drell smirked as he was latched onto the ceiling and then pounced down on top of Atticus.
Atticus yelped and glared up to the warlock. "You sneaky son of a-"
"Ah, ah, ah..." Drell warned and pointed to the crib as Junior was fast asleep with his thumb in his mouth.
"What are you doing here?" Atticus whispered with a glare.
"Just wanted to make sure you were okay..." Drell said before sitting on him.
"Get off of me!" Atticus whispered loudly.
"Okay, okay." Drell whispered back.
They then went down in the living room.
Atticus yawned. "This better be good, I was getting married to-"
Drell smirked.
"Uh... Anyway..." Atticus blushed.
"No, no, no, tell me." Drell still smirked.
"Why are you here?" Atticus narrowed his eyes.
"The gorillas in Ape Island are in danger." Drell said.
"What...?" Atticus asked.
"You heard me..." Drell narrowed his eyes.
"Ape Island...?" Atticus muttered. "Isn't that where Cherry and her sister met George of the Jungle with her other friend?"
"Oh, wait, not that island, another island where an entire family group of gorillas are in danger." Drell said.
"Oh, okay, I was gonna say..." Atticus laughed before sighing. "Um, what's the problem?"
Drell decided to show him instead of explaining it. Atticus yawned and then took a look at what Drell had to show him. And where he saw men capturing gorillas and where one of them was about to kill a male gorilla.
Atticus gasped, then looked curiously to the older man and woman with his sister. "Hey, that looks like Jessica's teacher, Professor Porter, and his daughter Jane."
"That's because those are them." Drell said.
Atticus looked curious until his phone then vibrated. Drell paused the footage.
Atticus answered it. "Hello?"
'Hey, Atticus, I'm sorry for calling so late,' Jessica's voice said on the other line. 'I was just given an invitation by my professor to go with him and his daughter to Africa. I haven't gone in so long, would you and your friends like to come with me?'
"Sure." Atticus said.
'Oh, I was hoping you'd agree, you can bring anyone you'd like,' Jessica replied. 'Especially bring Patch though, you know how much Oddball loves him.'
"Yeah, Patch loves her too." Atticus smiled in agreement.
'Anyway, bring anyone you want.' Jessica said.
"Of course, Jessie..." Atticus said.
Drell rolled his eyes and gave him a 'wrap it up' gesture.
"Jessie, looks like I'm gonna have to wrap this up, a certain warlock is getting impatient." Atticus said.
'Drell's over there?' Jessica replied.
"Yep..." Atticus replied.
'I'll hang up then.' Jessica said.
"Okay, see ya, Jessie, we'll be waiting for you." Atticus said quickly before Drell would hang up for him.
"May I continue?" Drell asked.
Atticus then put his phone down. "Go on."
"Thank you." Drell said before showing him more.
Atticus nodded and took a look.
"This is going to get gruesome very fast." Drell said as he showed a hunting man known as George Clayton.
"He doesn't look so tough." Atticus said.
"That may be true, but he has a black heart..." Drell said. "He only wants to find the gorillas to hunt them for sport."
"I can't stand people like that." Atticus glared.
"I know," Drell said. "So once you find him, could you please tie his gun into a knot?"
Atticus saluted. "I won't let you down... Wait, you're not coming with?"
"Nope, not this time." Drell said.
"Aww..." Atticus frowned.
"Sorry, kiddo." Drell replied.
"Your mom making you come over for dinner?" Atticus then teased to lighten up the mood.
"Unfortunately, yes." Drell groaned.
"Oh... Sorry." Atticus replied.
"It's okay..." Drell said back.
"So, um, how's Hilda?" Atticus then asked.
"She's doing great." Drell said.
"So, you guys made up after Notre Dame?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah..." Drell sighed. "It cost a lot to make it up to her... I didn't think she's get offended if I looked up her dress, I don't know what I was thinking."
"I guess you must have not been thinking." Atticus said.
"I can't help it if she's hot..." Drell smiled shyly.
"Uh, if you say so." Atticus smiled nervously.
"I mean look at this!" Drell took out a picture of Hilda when she was Atticus's age.
"OH, MY GOD!" Atticus accidentally shouted.
Luckily, Patch had put up a sound proof barrier around Junior and the others so then they would wake up as he had a feeling something loud would happen. Atticus then cupped his mouth. Drell pointed upstairs to show a sound proof barrier. Atticus smiled nervously. Patch walked down to them wanted to know why Drell was there.
Drell looked down to the puppy. "Hey, Spot."
Patch sighed, trying to let that slide. "Hello, Drell."
"Drell, I promise we'll look out for those hunters." Atticus said.
"Hunters?" Patch asked.
"You all have to go to the jungle where there are gorillas and the one known as Tarzan: The Ape Man." Drell brought the puppy up to speed.
"Ooh." Patch smiled.
"Yes... I can't make it, I have an emergency in the Netherworld." Drell said.
"He's having Sunday dinner with his parents." Atticus whispered to Patch with a smirk.
"Ohh." Patch said, understanding.
Drell narrowed his eyes to Atticus. "I oughta strike you with lightning."
"And do you really think lightning will be able to hurt me?" Atticus smirked.
"Ah, I'm bored..." Drell shrugged. "Like I'm gonna be tomorrow... I'd rather watch Star Wars."
"And what is wrong with Star Wars?" Patch asked.
"Not much of a waste of time than having dinner with my parents." Drell laughed.
"Really?" Atticus asked.
Drell shrugged.
"Have you even watched Star Wars? It's amazing!" Patch replied.
"I know, right?" Atticus smiled.
Drell rolled his eyes, but he secretly made a note to send Atticus and the others into the Star Wars world for a future adventure.
"So, when do we leave?" Patch asked.
"As soon as Atticus's sister gets home, you all better get some sleep, I'll see you around." Drell then said, deciding to leave to go back into the Supernatural Realm.
Atticus and Patch both soon went to bed. Drell then took his leave as he went to get some sleep himself.
Meanwhile, at Jessica's college...
Jessica and the other students were finishing up a lecture before they would have a week off from classes.
'These lectures can be so boring.' Jessica thought to herself.
"Any questions?" the instructor then asked the students.
No one raised their hands.
"Very well, we'll pick this up next week then." the instructor then said, dismissing them.
'Finally.' Jessica thought to herself.
The students all then packed up and left to get back to their dorms/rooms/homes. Jessica walked with her friend Jane.
"So, you're coming with me, Daddy, and Mr. Clayton?" Jane asked.
"Yes, I just have to pick up my brother and his friends." Jessica nodded.
"That's wonderful, I've been wanting to meet your brother." Jane smiled.
Jessica smiled back as she unlocked the door to her home that came with the college.
"JESSICA!" Oddball squealed and pounced on top of Jessica, licking her face.
"I'm happy to see you too, girl." Jessica laughed.
Oddball smiled down to Jessica.
Jessica then gently set her off and sat up. "Sorry, that lecture was forever."
"You're telling me." Oddball whined.
"We're going back home." Jessica said.
"Yay!" Oddball cheered.
Jessica then went to leave a quick message to home to let everyone know that she was coming.
"When do we leave?" Oddball asked.
"We'll start packing now and there's a bus leaving at 5:00, if we hurry enough, we can make it home in time for dinner." Jessica replied.
"Yay!" Oddball smiled.
Jessica giggled. Jane just stood by, she wondered what it would be like to talk to animals.
"Um, Jessica, we have company." Oddball said as she saw Jane.
"Oh, Jane, are you still there?" Jessica looked over.
"I just wanted to make sure everything was set before I tell Daddy and Mr. Clayton." Jane smiled.
"It's okay, Jane, you should get to your father," Jessica suggested. "Too bad he's not as cute as Milo Thatch~" she then smirked bashfully to one of her childhood crushes before she met Christopher.
"I don't have a crush on him." Jane said.
"I didn't say you did." Jessica laughed.
"Who's Milo Thatch?" Oddball asked.
"He went on an expedition to find the lost continent of Atlantis in the 1800's." Jessica told her puppy.
"Wow." Oddball said.
"Come on, girl, let's get packing." Jessica said.
Jane then went off to meet her father so they could all go to the jungle.
