Meanwhile in the sewers...
"Ugh, why do we have to go in the sewers?" Justine frowned. "It smells in here."
"Sorry, but this is an emergency access to your school and through the Netherworld." Drell said as he sat on Skippy's back who was crawling through the raw sewage against his will.
"Hey, Babe, you wanna get on my back so you don't have to walk through it?" Jo offered.
"Thanks, I hate to be like Heather, but these shoes weren't made for walking in sludge." Justine smiled.
Jo then carried Justine on her back and walked with her.
Cindy slipped over something and fell in the mucky waters flat on her back. "Eww... Guhh..."
"Stop whining, Butler!" Drell scoffed.
"I feel in the sewage!" Cindy frowned.
"You don't hear Jo and Justine complaining!" Drell replied.
"Yes, Drell... Sorry, Drell..." Cindy tried to stand up.
"You should take lessons from them." Drell suggested.
Cherry growled in response. Skippy panted and tugged on Drell's shirt and pointed to the inside of his mouth, looking rather starving and dehydrated. Drell snapped his fingers and gave a cheeseburger and pop to Skippy. Skippy took them and nourished himself until he could keep going.
"Wow, you've gotten stronger than last time." Justine cooed.
"I've been working out." Jo replied.
"I'm impressed, Jo." Drell said.
"Daddy, could I have a cheeseburger too?" Penelope asked.
"Bacon?" Drell asked before snapping his fingers.
"Yes, please." Penelope replied.
Drell then snapped his fingers and gave her a double bacon cheeseburger.
"Thanks, Daddy!" Penelope hugged her father.
"Anything for my little princess." Drell smiled as he stroked her hair.
"I've been working out too, Drell." Cindy said.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." Drell said. "Anyone else want anything before we move on?"
"I-" Cindy spoke up.
"How about you, Jo?" Drell then asked. "Justine?"
"Steak, medium rare." Jo said.
"A cheeseburger with everything on it please." Justine added.
"Anything to drink?" Drell asked. "I'd like you to keep up your energy before we face Velma and her elves."
"Mountain Dew Code Red, please." Justine said.
"And a Dr. Pepper for me." Jo then added in.
"Uh, Drell, I'd like something too!" Cindy spoke up.
"Cindy, don't interrupt me." Drell scolded.
"I'm hungry!" Cindy groaned.
"If you so much as interrupt me again, I'll take Kimba away from you and I don't care if you have a nightmare so bad it kills you and then your grandmother hates me for the rest of my life..." Drell glared. "Unless you stand up to me, you're my scapegoat!"
"You hate me!" Cindy fussed. "All you do is praised Jo and Justine just because they saved Netherworld a couple of times; you treat them like they are your saviors!"
"Skippy, shut her up, I'm getting a migraine..." Drell held his head.
"Way to go, Butler, you just gave my daddy a migraine!" Penelope glared.
"That's it, I'm leaving!" Cindy growled. "I hope Velma will eat you all!"
"I carry migraine pills in case I need them." Justine said.
"Thank you, Justine, you're a life-saver." Drell sounded relieved.
Skippy gave Drell a glass of water.
Drell took the pill and drank it down with the water, then spit some of the water in Skippy's face. "YOU CALL THAT REFRESHING SPRING WATER?!'
Skippy jumped in Jo's arms, shaking like a leaf.
"Coward..." Jo muttered to Skippy.
"Aww, poor Skippy." Justine cooed as she then kissed his cheek.
Skippy smiled shyly to her.
Drell chuckled, grabbed Skippy's tie and pulled him over. "I'm sure Batoria would love to hear about this."
'You wouldn't.' Skippy's eyes widened.
Drell grinned darkly. "Be my slave for the next century."
'Aren't I already?' Skippy smirked like a smart aleck.
"Don't be a smart aleck!" Drell warned.
"Jo and Justine have a fan club," Cindy groaned. "What's next; their own movie?"
"Yeah, and it'll be starring Jennifer Lopez and Tom Cruise." Penelope smiled dreamily.
"Don't worry Cindy, you'd have a part too." Drell said.
"And who would play me?" Cindy rolled her eyes. "Please don't let it be Miley Cyrus."
"We'll discuss that later..." Drell took out some gum and popped it into his mouth and chewed it.
Cindy winced and grunted. 'I hate the sound of people chewing gum."
"Don't you ever stop complaining?" Jo glanced to her.
"Don't you ever stop being famous?" Cindy retorted with a scoff.
"Cindy, stop that." Justine scolded.
Cindy folded her arms and pouted. Drell then blew a bubble. Skippy looked nervous and popped the bubble with his pipe tip.
"SKIPPY!" Drell scolded.
Skippy then jumped into Justine's arms again, shaking like a leaf once again. Justine held Skippy and stroked his hair. Skippy purred like a cat.
"Aw, Babe, what about me?" Jo asked.
"Jealous, aren't we?" Justine smirked with a giggle.
Skippy giggled too.
"All right, we need something to break down this door..." Drell cracked his knuckles.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." Cindy miserably counted down.
"Allow me." Jo volunteered.
"Aww... Well... Okay, just this once." Drell smiled.
Jo nodded, then broke down the door so they could get through.
Drell sighed before trapping Skippy around his arm. "What a gal, eh, Skippo?"
Skippy nodded with a smile.
"It seems like just yesterday when I trained those two." Drell said as he wiped his eyes.
Skippy handed him a hanky. Drell took it and blew his nose noisily and then dropped it on Cindy's head.
"Hey!" Cindy cringed.
"Those two are like children to me." Drell sniffled.
"And they did go through tough times a lot." Penelope agreed.
"Mm-hmm..." Drell nodded. "Someone help me up a little in here, it's higher than I remember."
Skippy sighed and got down on his hands and knees to give Drell a boost up.
"Thanks, Skippo," Drell said before looking to Justine and Penelope. "Ladies first."
"Ahem!" Cindy glared. "What about me?"
"Oh, get over here!" Drell reached for Cindy as Justine and Penelope went first and he threw her against the open door. "Okay, Jo, you're next."
"You got it," Jo climbed in after. "I can't believe Tom Cruise is playing me, is it a good movie?"
"The best ever." Drell promised.
"Really?" Jo asked.
"Siskel and Ebert would be proud," Drell sighed softly with a smile. "Bless their souls, I can't believe they're both gone now."
"Who's Siskel and Ebert?" Justine asked.
"You never heard of Siskel and Ebert?!" Drell asked. "What, do you live in a cave?!"
Cindy hid a snicker.
"Siskel and Ebert are two of the greatest mortal movie critics of all time!" Drell said.
"And what's so funny, Butler?" Jo demanded.
"Nothing!" Cindy answered quickly.
Jo narrowed her eyes to Cindy as they kept going along.
"I'll explain later, let's just say they made a big mistake when they criticized one of Slappy Squirrel's cartoons." Drell said.
"Oh, I know who you're talking about now!" Justine snapped her fingers in realization then.
"Now you finally realize it." Cindy muttered in a deadpan voice.
"You say something?" Jo asked.
"I-I said Justine has a nice body." Cindy replied.
Jo growled to her. Cindy covered her mouth and shivered.
