Hello community! I present to you a crossover between the Wild Thornberry and Littlest Pet Shop series, both of which uniquely feature protagonists with the gift of speaking to animals. I hope you enjoy this story. I do not own these characters; all credits go to Nickelodeon and Hasbro.


Chapter 1. Parallel Paths


In the spacious school hall, the contest was in full swing. Posters and projects hung from the walls, showcasing different ways to aid animals in the city. Among them, Blythe had created an interactive display showcasing how her pet shop stood out. There were pictures of each of the pets, and each had a little button that, when pressed, revealed a story of how she had helped and nurtured them.

The head judge, a middle-aged woman with gray hair and a linen blouse, approached Blythe's stand. "Tell me more about your project," she requested.

Enthusiastically, Blythe began: "In our store, we don't just care for pets; we also ensure that every animal has a story. For example, Zoe was less friendly and more reserved, but since arriving at our shop, we discovered her love for singing and also her great care for her friends."

As Blythe continued, the judge seemed impressed. At the end of her presentation, the judge nodded in approval and walked away without a word, leaving Blythe hopeful that her presentation had done enough.

Finally, the moment to announce the winners arrived. Blythe's heart raced as she waited. And then, she heard her name: "First place goes to Blythe and her 'Pets with Stories' project!"

The auditorium erupted in applause. Youngmee, Sue, and Jasper ran up to her, congratulating and hugging her. "We knew you'd do it!" Youngmee exclaimed with a wide smile. "Thank you so much, friends. I'm so happy and grateful for your support," Blythe replied.

Still in shock but excited, Blythe approached the organizers. "I have a question," she began, "As you know, I have seven pets in my shop. Is there any chance they can come with me to the camp?"

One of the organizers, a kind-faced man with round glasses, smiled. "We've considered that. Knowing how special your shop is and how much you care for your pets, we've decided they can accompany you on the camping trip. It will be a unique experience!"

Blythe jumped with joy. "Thank you! Thank you! This means so much to me!" she exclaimed, imagining the adventures awaiting in the Mexican jungle with her beloved pets.


Blythe gently opened the shop's door, and the entrance bells chimed softly. As she stepped in, she was greeted by a harmonious and joyful cacophony of her pets' greetings.

Zoe, the Cavalier King Spaniel, leaped towards her, wagging her tail frenziedly. "Blythe! We missed you so much! What news do you bring?" she barked excitedly.

Russell, the hedgehog, peeked out from his hideout, his spiky quills shining. "I hope you've brought books or snacks," he murmured, his tiny nose twitching quickly.

"Hello, guys!" Blythe exclaimed with a bright smile. "I have incredible news to share with you."

Minka, the spider monkey, slid down from her spot, her eyes curious and bright. "Come on, Blythe! I'm dying of curiosity!" she chirped eagerly.

Vinnie, the gecko, stretched to get a better view of Blythe from his terrarium and commented in his soft voice, "Every time you have news, they're always amazing. What is it this time?"

Penny Ling, the panda, seated in a corner, twitched her ears attentively and added, "I hope it's something adventurous."

Blythe took a deep breath and announced, "We're going on a camping trip to a jungle in Mexico!"

There was a brief silence, and then the shop erupted in celebrations. Zoe barked joyfully, "A new adventure! I'm ready to explore!". Minka did cartwheels and expressed, "I can imagine the heights and the trees! It's going to be amazing!"

Sunil, the mongoose, with a spark in her eyes, even tried some magic tricks with a tiny wand. "Magic and jungle! The perfect combo!" she exclaimed while waving her wand.

"Thank you so much, Blythe!" the pets chorused. "You're welcome. I'm glad to see you all so happy and excited; we're in for an unforgettable experience," Blythe replied with emotion.


Meanwhile, in the Thornberrys' mobile home, Marianne, Eliza's mom, was going over some maps with her husband, Nigel. "Look at this, Nigel," she said, pointing at an area on the map. "This Mexican jungle has an amazing biodiversity, especially in the fall. It would be perfect for our next documentary."

Nigel, Eliza's dad, adjusting his glasses, nodded. "Sounds like an exciting adventure. Imagine the species we could encounter!"

Listening to their agreement, Eliza told her sister Debbie about the upcoming adventure. "Hey, Deb, exploring the jungle in the fall will be awesome! I can just imagine all the colors and migratory animals. It'll be a sight."

Debbie, checking her hand mirror, replied, "Yeah, yeah, sounds cool, but is there a spot in that jungle where I can charge my phone?"

Eliza laughed, "Always finding the modern side in everything, right? But trust me, this will be an experience you won't want to miss."

The Thornberry family was excited about their upcoming adventure, unaware that they would soon cross paths with another animal lover and her unique pets.


Later on, Blythe's team will meet the Thornberry family in the same natural setting. What will happen next? Find out in the upcoming chapters.
