"I'm sorry about your snacks, Scooby," Amber said as she took out a baggy of dog biscuits. "Would you like to try some of these biscuits?"

Scooby smiled as that sounded interesting.

Amber then took out a biscuit for him. "Here you go, Scooby."

Scooby soon ate it where he seemed to like it better than the stale Scooby Snacks.

"You like that, huh, boy?" Amber smiled to the Great Dane. "I thought you would."

"I know Lucky misses them..." Patch chuckled. "As in, my brother, not Lucky in Shelter 17."

"Yeah, Lucky seems very fond of me..." Amber giggled.

"I noticed that." Patch smiled.

"Would you like one too?" Amber offered to Patch.

"Yes, please." Patch nodded.

Amber then gave him one of her biscuits.

"Like, mind if I try?" Shaggy asked.

"Um, sure." Amber said oddly. She then shared biscuits with him.

Shaggy took one of them and happily ate one.

"Eww..." Darla and Amber looked slightly grossed out.

"I know." Patch whispered.

Cherry yawned and looked rather sleepy.

"Not sleep well last night, Cherry?" Atticus asked.

"I felt sleepy, but I didn't get much so we could make it to the van..." Cherry said groggily. "Mind if I nap on the way?"

"Sure." Atticus shrugged.

Cherry yawned as she then got comfortable and snuggled down to take a little nap.

"She has weird sleep patterns..." Mo said to Atticus. "She's awake a lot more at night and very tired during the day."

"Yeah, it's like she's a vampire." Atticus said.

Cherry shook a chill down her spine as she went to sleep. Atticus and Mo glanced to Cherry strangely for that, but then continued to talk with each other.

"Alright, looks like we're ready to go now." Patch said.

"I certainly hope so..." Darla was anxious to go to Louisiana ever since her first adventure there. "Luckily we dont' have to worry about that Shadow Man ever again."

"Yeah." Atticus said.

Darla excitedly looked out the window before yawning slightly.

"Tired?" Amber asked.

"A little bit..." Darla admitted. "I didn't sleep much last night."

"Excited?" Amber asked before laughing.

"Yeah..." Darla laughed sheepishly.

"I knew it." Amber smiled.

Darla smiled sleepily.

"Get some rest, when you wake up, we should be there." Amber suggested.

"Yeah." Annabelle smiled.

Darla smiled sleepily and decided to take a nap. Annabelle held her backpack close as it seemed to shake slightly.

"Annabelle, I think something's moving in your bag." Mo said.

Annabelle smiled nervously.

"What's in there...?" Mo smiled suspiciously.

Annabelle sighed, she then reached into her bag and took out a magic wand which was glowing slightly.

"You brought your magic wand?" Mo asked.

"It might be important..." Annabelle replied. "You never know if you might need it and maybe some of Murray's help."

"You still talk with Murray?" Amber asked with a small smile.

"Well, yeah," Annabelle smiled back. "He is my fairy godfather."

"Good point." Atticus said.

"I hope I get to meet the Winx Club someday..." Annabelle sounded hopeful.

"I'm sure you will." Amber smiled.

"I've been wishing for it every night..." Annabelle admitted. "I had a feeling something weird might happen while we visit Louisiana."

"It just might." Atticus said.

"I'm just saying, we've had that one adventure together with Claudia and Discord..." Annabelle reminded.

"True." Patch said.

Annabelle smiled to Patch and gently pet him. "I've always hoped that I could adopt Boots as my very own dog, but since she lives with Fluttershy and Discord in Equestria now, it's probably for the best."

"Maybe you'll find your pet in Louisiana." Patch smiled.

Annabelle smiled back.

And soon after they all got in the Mystery Machine, they were off to Louisiana. Cherry and Darla slept on the way as it would be a long drive. And where it would be a long drive and a boat ride and another drive to their destination. Atticus woke up at one point a little too early, so he decided to read one of the books he brought along with him.

Mo then nuzzled against him in her sleep. Atticus smiled down at her before he looked back into his book. Mo nuzzled as she slept gently. Atticus smiled happy that Mo was comfortable.

"Hello, Atticus..." Twilight's voice said in the book. "If you ever need anything, you know where to find me."

Atticus did a double take. "Twilight?!"

"Hey, I found a way to speak through books." Twilight's voice smiled.

"Heh..." Atticus chuckled. "Well, it's good to hear from you."

"I wanted you to meet somepony," Twilight smiled, then had a cream-colored unicorn with red violet mane in a blue sweater with black glasses. "Moon Dancer, this is my good friend in this universe, Atticus, Atticus, this is Moon Dancer, a good friend of mine from Canterlot."

"It's nice to meet you, Moon Dancer." Atticus smiled.

"Nice to meet you too, Sir Atticus." Moon Dancer bowed.

"Sir Atticus?" Atticus asked with a laugh.

"Well, of course," Moon Dancer replied. "You are an alicorn in Equestria after all."

"Oh, right, well, you can just call me Atticus." Atticus smiled.

"Okay, Atticus." Moon Dancer then said.

"Twilight, I didn't know you had friends in Canterlot." Atticus smiled.

Twilight hid a slight flinch. "Um, yeah... Remember Cadence's bridesmaids at her and Shining Armor's wedding?"

"Yeah?" Atticus nodded.

"They were my friends before I was told to come to Ponyville," Twilight explained. "In fact, I was invited to a party by Moon Dancer, but I told them that I had lots of studying to do. Of course, you and Cherry have been best friends all your lives, so that never happened to you, right?"

"Uhh... Something like that..." Atticus shrugged as he thought back.

*Flashback to an Orphanage*

We see two young children around the age of ten in a library with books together.

"But according to this book, you're supposed to add the sodium chloride first." Young Atticus remarked.

"I read ahead, and to make a proper dessert treat, you need to add the molasses first." Young Cherry retorted.

"No, you're supposed to add the sodium chloride first!" Young Atticus argued.

Young Cherry turned her book over and looked foolish. "Oh... I've got the wrong book."

Young Atticus soon sighed before getting the sodium chloride. Young Cherry face-palmed herself.

*End of Flashback*

Atticus sighed with a small laugh. "Cherry was so difficult."

"Wait, so studies did kind of get in the way of your friendship?" Twilight asked.

"Not really, mostly because we didn't go to school then," Atticus explained. "We just had tutors in the orphanage and we didn't go to school after Cinderella's father adopted us of course."

"That's good to know." Twilight said.

Atticus smiled. Twilight and Moon Dancer smiled back.

"And looks like you've got yourself a sleeping beauty." Twilight playfully smirked.

Atticus blushed and looked down to the sleeping Mo. "Yes, I should say so..." he then laughed weakly.

"Then why don't you kiss her?" Moon Dancer asked.

"I don't wanna bother her while she's sleeping..." Atticus smiled sheepishly.

Twilight narrowed her eyes with a smirk and eyebrow hook.

"No really." Atticus smiled sheepishly.

"I don't think she'll mind." Twilight insisted.

"Yeah." Moon Dancer nodded in agreement.

Atticus blushed as he looked down to Mo, though her eyes were covered due to her bandanna pulled down over them.

"Go on, kiss her." Twilight smiled.

"Kiss her!" Moon Dancer chanted. "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"

Atticus soon took a deep breath and then he leaned in to kiss Mo. There was then suddenly a bump which woke Mo up, she then moved her bandanna up. Atticus leaned in closer as he was about to kiss Mo. Mo then smirked and leaned upward and kissed him on the lips to surprise him. This caused for Twilight and Moon Dancer to giggle. Atticus turned bright red while Mo had a smirk to him.

"Looks like that didn't go the way Atticus had intended." Twilight giggled.

"A kiss is just a kiss." Moon Dancer also giggled.

Atticus firmly pouted and slammed the book shut as the equine girls laughed teasingly.

"Oh, come on, they're just teasing." Mo smirked.

"I know..." Atticus looked away shyly.

Mo simply rolled her eyes with a playful smile. Atticus smiled shyly to her.

"You... Are... A... Goofball..." Mo ran her fingers up his chest and then dabbed him playfully on the nose.

Atticus blushed a bit.

"I didn't know strong guys blushed." Mo smirked playfully.

"Oh, come on now, it's perfectly normal..." Atticus smiled shyly.

"I know, I'm just-I'm just kidding." Mo smiled.

Atticus rolled his eyes while slightly sticking his tongue out. "If this is you now, I wonder how you'd be as a mother."

"The kids would listen to me." Mo replied.

"Oh, how so?" Atticus asked.

"They'd like me better." Mo smiled boastfully.

"I'm sure one of them would be like you." Atticus smirked.

"Yeah, 'cuz I'm awesome." Mo laughed.

"You sound just like Rainbow Dash." Atticus smirked.

"No, Rainbow Dash sounds like me and you are like Twilight." Mo retorted playfully.

"Oh, ha, ha, ha." Atticus pouted playfully.

Mo just laughed and ruffled up his hair.

"Hey!" Atticus laughed.

Mo laughed back with him. Fred and Daphne looked back to the two and had small smirks. Mo continued laughing until she touched one of Atticus's muscles. Atticus laughed, then noticed she stopped. He then noticed what she was looking at and where he gave him an idea how to entertain her. Mo smiled to him. Atticus smiled back and showed her a good time. They soon arrived at the boat.
