Cherry was looking over a book she was given for her latest adventure of helping various cartoon characters out as she took the time to sort it out before her next mission.

"So what's next?" Cleo wondered.

"Looks like we're going to Jellystone Park of all places." Cherry replied.

"Ooh! Are we gonna meet Yogi and Boo Boo Bear?" Cleo then asked rapidly. "Slappy and Skippy Squirrel? Loop De Loop? Ding-a-Ling and Hokey Wolf?"

"I doubt the first ones and those others don't live in Jellystone Park." Cherry reminded her kitten.

"Well, I think they oughta." A random voice said right behind Cherry to startle her.

"Gah!" Cherry yelped and turned around before glaring a bit.

"Hi, Cherry." Cathleen greeted with a grin.

"Oh... hey, Cath..." Cherry replied and rolled her eyes slightly.

Cleo yowled and hissed a bit with her fur on end.

"Did I scare you guys?" Cathleen then asked.

"Yes, sure, you really scared me cuz I'm a scaredy cat apparently," Cherry said before rolling her eyes. "Even though I work with Batman whenever nothing is going on in Greendale." she added with a slight mutter.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Cleo asked Cathleen.

"Oh, me and Tate just snuck in," Cathleen replied shamelessly before her pet wolf came beside her and appeared to have blood dripping from his muzzle. "We had some lunch and we wanted to see what kinda adventure stuff you guys are up to." she then added.

"Your lunch was covered in ketchup?" Cleo asked curiously.

"Trust me, that's not ketchup." Cherry told Cleo.

"Yeah, we found a dying lion and decided to help put it out of its misery," Cathleen said casually with a shrug. "We couldn't let it go to waste."

"Wow... you found a dying lion in North America?" Cherry replied, sounding a bit sarcastic. "That sounds totally possible."

"Yeah! You know how I'm a meatarian and so is Tate cuz we only eat meat." Cathleen stated proudly.

"We know." Cherry and Cleo replied, sounding deadpan.

Tate soon yawned a bit and curled up to take a nap.

"So, what's going on here?" Cathleen asked before she swiped Cherry's book away from her. "Cartoons?"

"Sure, just take my book without my consent, that's what a real friend would do." Cherry scoffed.

"You're going on a cartoon adventure and you didn't invite me?" Cathleen asked Cherry. "I thought we were friends."

Cherry just sighed and shrugged in response, not sure what to say to that. "My Element of Empathy can only go so far." she then murmured to herself.

"Ah, right, those silly Elements of Harmony..." Cathleen remarked as she looked over her book. "At least this looks more interesting than those Equestrian adventures you go on. By the way, did anything interesting happen over there?" she then asked.

"Yeah, King Sombra died, whatever." Cherry shrugged.

"WHOA! People DIE in Equestria?" Cathleen asked out of shock.

Cherry and Cleo both rolled their eyes at that.

"Whatever, moving on," Cathleen said before looking in the book. "Jellystone Park, huh? I better go with you to protect you from carnivores cuz you're kind of spineless during adventures."

"I am NOT spineless!" Cherry glared.

"So yeah, I'm going with you," Cathleen decided. "Who knows what predators could be there and you might need your werewolf friend to help you?"

"Yeah, what would I do without you?" Cherry replied, still sounding very sarcastic.

"So glad that you agree!" Cathleen beamed.

"Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, isn't it?" Cleo muttered.

"Watch it, Furball." Cathleen warned Cleo.

"Yeah, you don't know what she can do," Cherry added cynically and rolled her eyes a bit. "I mean she told Patch the same thing when he ended up in Tate's territory."

"Yeah, I just hope the little guy didn't get scared," Cathleen replied. "You know how dangerous and deathly wolves can be, especially to little puppy dogs like Patch."

"Yeah, it's not like Patch had a life-threatening experience against a crazy woman who wanted to skin him alive for his fur or anything." Cherry replied sardonically.

"Are you making fun of me?" Cathleen asked. "I feel like you're making fun of me."

"Oh, never mind~" Cherry said innocently before shrugging. "Anyway, I gotta get going to my next adventure and I need someone to come with me-" she then started to say.

"I'll happily come with you!" Cathleen interrupted and put her arm around Cherry. "I'm happily volunteering."

"Great..." Cherry muttered.

"You gonna be okay?" Cleo asked Cherry.

"I dunno, but wait for me, okay?" Cherry told her kitten.

"Mm-hmm~" Cleo nodded at that as she decided to get comfortable. "Let me know how it goes."

"I'm just glad Sledgehammer O'Possum is dealt with now." Cherry mumbled.

"Did you say Sledgehammer O'Possum?" Cathleen asked. "I can hear you cuz I have super-hearing."

"I know you do." Cherry replied in slight annoyance.

A portal then randomly appeared in the room.

"That must be for us," Cathleen said before she approached Tate and rubbed his head. "I'll be back later, okay, boy?"

Tate whined and beamed at her, wagging his tail like a puppy dog before he licked her face.

"Down, boy, down!" Cathleen giggled as that tickled.

"I thought you got rid of her a long time ago." Cleo whispered to Cherry.

"No matter what I say or do, she just keeps coming back and I try to stand up to her, but she poisons my mind somehow," Cherry whispered back. "Hopefully by 2024, I can end this chapter of my life of her meddling in my adventure life for her own gain."

Cathleen soon gave Tate a bone and she grabbed her friend by the arm with brute force. "Come on, Cherry. Adventures await for us, especially with classic cartoon characters, whether abandoned or forgotten about because I'm the biggest cartoon fan in the world." she then proclaimed, trying to sound brave and heroic, but just sounded boastful and pretentious.

"Right, because what would I do without you?" Cherry deadpanned.

"That's the spirit!" Cathleen said before throwing Cherry into the portal first.

"Augh!" Cherry grunted and yelped.

Cathleen then went into the portal behind her.

"Hey... ya wanna wrestle?" Tate asked Cleo with a grin on his face.

"I think I'm going to visit the Spellmans right now." Cleo replied cynically as she decided to suddenly go upstairs.

Tate then followed behind her while Cherry and Cathleen went away to have their own adventure.

Deep in Jellystone Park, or at least an alternate version of it, an alligator was fast asleep by the water until a certain someone began to wake up.

"Good morning, Harley!"

"How'd ya sleep, Hard Luck?" The alligator named Harley asked as he slowly woke up, seeing the cute little duckling who was now awake.

"Fine, I'm gonna need another blanket for my bed," Hard Luck explained with a small smile. "I sure wish you could be up here with me."

Harley smiled back before he opened his mouth, allowing Hard Luck to leave his eye, seeming to live inside his alligator friend without being digested and he soon waddled across Harley's tongue like a staircase as he got dressed for the day.

"Can we get breakfast, Harley?" Hard Luck asked hopefully. "I'm starving!"

"I'm sorry, Hard Luck; you're on your own for breakfast, but stay out of trouble." Harley replied as he came into the water while making sure Hard Luck stayed balanced on his snout. He then lowered himself a bit to let Hard Luck go back in the water before he went back to dry land to sit under the tree to get some more sleep.

"See you later, Harley Gator!" Hard Luck called out as he took a swim in the water to go get some breakfast.

Harley soon went to get some extra sleep while Hard Luck looked a little sad without his friend by his side.

"Hello?" Cherry soon called out as she and Cathleen made it to Jellystone Park. "Is anyone here?"

"Ah, enough with the singing already!" Slappy Squirrel complained as she came out of her tree and threw acorns at Cherry's head.

"Ow!" Cherry grunted and yelped, rubbing the back of her head, then looked over in confusion. "Slappy Squirrel?"

"See? What'd I tell ya?" Cathleen smirked, sounding victorious.

"Okay, you don't have to sound like a jerk about it." Cherry mumbled at that.

"Wow! New friends!" Hard Luck's voice said.

"That must be our target. I wonder what kinda-" Cathleen said before looking over and beamed in excitement. "OH, MY GOSH! WHAT A CUTE LITTLE DUCKLING!" she then gushed.

Cherry blinked with wide eyes.

"I mean... I'm a tomboy, I don't find things cute..." Cathleen then covered up and brushed off. "What's wrong with me?"

"A lot of things..." Cherry said before she knelt down to the duckling's height. "Um, hey there, little guy." she then greeted.

"Hi there! I'm Hard Luck Duck!" Hard Luck introduced himself with a friendly smile. "I've never seen you two before!"

"Yeah, we're sorta... on vacation," Cherry explained with a small shrug. "I'm Cherry and that's Cathleen."

"Quack-tastic to meet ya, Cherry and Cathleen!" Hard Luck smiled at the two of them.

"Quack-tastic~" Cathleen whispered and giggled before she tried to look stoic and serious.

Cherry just rolled her eyes as Cathleen took being a tomboy so extreme that she was sure she knew how it worked.

"If you tell Atticus or anyone I said that, I'm gonna make you my dinner." Cathleen told Cherry firmly.

"Such a good friend. Threatening my life right in front of me." Cherry replied.

"Oh, it's a little too early for dinner, I was just about to get some breakfast!" Hard Luck replied with a small smile. "Say, why don't you guys come with me so we can all have breakfast? Harley will be so happy that I made new friends!" he then suggested.

"Oh, Cherry, maybe we should keep an eye on the cute little-I mean... the duck for our adventure," Cathleen suggested. "I mean, what is it with girls and cuteness?" she then scoffed.

"You think wolf puppies are cute." Cherry reminded Cathleen.

Cathleen sputtered at that. "I do not! I mean, it's not like you think bunny rabbits are cute, right?" she then added. "You're goth and you don't think bunnies are cute."

"Oh, yeah?" Cherry asked as she pointed to a pair of more stereotypical goths. "Tell that to them."

There was an extremely goth couple sitting further away from them and they had a bunny. The girl was deathly pale and looked more sheet white, she even had ivory hair with hints of gray and black that was long and reached just above her waist. She wore a red choker with a gray chain on it, had blood-red contacts in her eyes, wore black lipstick, had a ruby red sleeveless top that had gloves to match, a silver chain around her waist, fishnet stockings, and long black boots, and even had a gray bat tattoo on her chest. The boy had long black hair with red streaks in it, appeared to have yellow eyes, a black spiked choker, black lipstick, black mascara, a red midriff top, black sleeves, dark crimson pants with a black belt that had a silver skull buckle, and black boots with stones around it. He was carrying a bunny in his shirt who looked just as emotionless and depressing as the Goths.

"I like bunnies." The boy said.

"Loki is the best bunny." The girl added.

"You're so right, Crimson." The boy told her.

"Aren't I always, Ennui?" The girl droned.

The bunny looked at them and rubbed against them.

"What's with the Total Drama characters in this cartoon universe before that show even exists?" Cherry deadpanned to herself.

"Oh, BOY!" Hard Luck beamed once he saw something.

"What is it, Hard Luck?" Cathleen asked the duckling.

"Check that out!" Hard Luck said, pointing out to a nearby restaurant that happened to be within view of them. "A new restaurant and I'm still starving!"

"Me too, buddy, let's go in." Cathleen agreed.

"Oh, what? Your lion corpse wasn't enough?" Cherry rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Cherry!" Cathleen said, grabbing Cherry and taking her along with her and Hard Luck over to The Cajun Café.

Cherry just sighed and rolled her eyes as Cathleen more or less bullied her way into this adventure, so she just decided to roll with it.

Meanwhile, inside the Café, someone was looking over a cookbook, seeing a recipe for something called Duck de Triumph and he appeared to be a fox dressed as a chef. "Ooh, I would kill for just one Duck de Triumph, but where would I find the primary ingredient?" he then remarked to himself, sounding hopeless for a moment. "A tender li'l ducklin'?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.

"Oh! A customer!" The fox beamed as he rushed to the door and opened it, seeing Cherry, Cathleen, and Hard Luck. "Huh? Who's there? Ooh~" he then said, mostly seeing Hard Luck out of hunger.

"Are you open for breakfast?" Hard Luck asked hopefully.

The fox blinked and rubbed his eyes before looking at Hard Luck again while Cathleen snarled due to the fox being in her way as Cherry just rolled her eyes at Cathleen's predatory instincts.

"Me and my new friends are starving!" Hard Luck then added to the fox.

"Ah, my little delicatessen! Allow me to prepare-ify you for the meal of your life, cher!" The fox beamed as he let Hard Luck come inside and he put up a sign that said "Today's Special: Duck de Triumph" while Cherry and Cathleen followed behind the duckling.

"Cherry, look." Cathleen pointed the sign out to her friend.

"Wow, he's gonna eat Hard Luck, I didn't see that coming." Cherry commented.

"We have to stop him!" Cathleen demanded. "He's a fox and I hate foxes!"

"Remind me to never let you meet Nick Wilde or Patch's friend Tod then." Cherry replied.

"Let the preparing show begin!" The fox beamed as he had Hard Luck sit down while taking out a carton of milk before seeing the duckling on it as a missing duckling. "Whoa... news travels fast." he then muttered.

"Reminds me of Patch's adventure with Robyn Starling." Cherry said to herself.

Soon, the fox dumped the milk on Hard Luck as he sat in a bowl. "Wow! I usually only wash my hands before eating!" the duckling giggled before he was moved right out of the bowl.

"First, we dust lightly with the white flour, then roll flat for the smoothness!" The fox then said as he put flour all over Hard Luck and began to roll over him with a rolling pin.

"Hard Luck!" Cathleen cried out in concern. "Are you okay? Not like I care!"

Cherry rolled her eyes at that.

"Wow! That was fun!" Hard Luck giggled as he sprung back into his normal self after being flattened.

"Next, we add a bit of Tabasasco sauce!" The fox then said as he brought out a tube of sauce. "It's very hot."

"How hot is it?" Cathleen asked.

"Here, lemme show you!" The fox said before shoving the tube in Cherry's mouth suddenly.

Cherry's eyes widened before she gulped it down and coughed up some smoke. "Not bad." she then said, without seeming to be terribly harmed.

"Perfect! Open wide, please!" The fox then said before letting Hard Luck have a drop of some.

Hard Luck swallowed some and looked wide-eyed as it felt very hot for him due to not being able to handle the spiciness as much as Cherry would. He then spit fire all over the fox, burning him to a crisp.

"Might need an alteration..." The fox muttered wheezily to himself.

"Cherry, we can't let that fox get Hard Luck," Cathleen demanded. "He's our new friend and I care about him even though I'm a tomboy."

"You know, Cathleen, I know you hate Equestria, but maybe you should take a few cues from people like Rainbow Dash to-" Cherry began to advise.

"This is no time for My Little Pony crap, we have a friend to worry about and I won't let that fox eat him!" Cathleen proclaimed, interrupting Cherry. "I think I should Wolf Out on him. What do you think?" she then asked.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." Cherry replied, knowing she was going to be ignored anyway.

"That's not very helpful advice, Cherry." Cathleen then said.

"Oh, NOW you listen to me?" Cherry deadpanned. "I swear you never listen to me unless it benefits you."

"Cherry, you know I can't focus on more than one thing too long, I have AD/HD and that's a good excuse," Cathleen then said. "You promised not to make fun of me for it."

Cherry just face-palmed at that.

"Next, we'll break one fresh egg right into the bowl..." The fox said as he took out an egg and cracked it against the duckling's egg and opened it.

"Harley doesn't let me have cholesterol!" Hard Luck replied.

The fox then suddenly moved the bowl into the blender with Hard Luck inside of it.

"Wheeee! This is more funner than a theme park on Halloween!" Hard Luck beamed.

The fox then pushed a button and began to blend the duckling along with the milk and egg instantly. "Next, we pour into a bowl and spin lightly," he then said before pouring the blender mix into the bowl as Hard Luck sloshed around. "Next, put into a leafy greens!" he then added before tossing Hard Luck right into a salad bowl.

"Yuck! Salad!" Cathleen complained.

Cherry just rolled her eyes at that. "I like to think that werewolves actually eat other foods besides raw meat whenever it isn't a full moon." she then said to herself.

"Whee! I love to toss the salad!" Hard Luck beamed as the fox tossed the salad with the duckling inside it.

"Next, I'll add the pepper..." The fox then said, moving Hard Luck onto a skillet on the oven, pouring pepper over the duckling, causing him to cough and sneeze and shoot himself right into the oven. "WHAT LUCK!" he then beamed before turning the dial to "fry".

"Phew! You know it's getting kinda warm in here." Hard Luck commented to himself as he sat on a lawn chair and read the paper as he felt the oven turn on around him.

"Listen, pal, that's my new friend you're trying to cook and you better let him out right now!" Cathleen demanded to the fox.

"What happens if I don't want to?" The fox scoffed at her.

"I'm gonna teach you a lesson," Cathleen glared firmly. "You don't know what I can do."

Cherry then seemed to take a shot of some Sprite. "Oh, don't mind me, I'm totally useful during this adventure." she then mumbled to herself.

"Dinner will soon be served, my tender little morsel!" The fox grinned eagerly and licked his lips.

"Hard Luck?!" Harley's voice called from the other side of the door, ponunding heavily.

"Harley?" Hard Luck beamed as he suddenly opened the oven. "Oh, boy! Harley came for breakfast!" he then cheered.

"YOU IN THERE, HARD LUCK?!" Harley demanded.

"YES!" Cherry answered with a bit of a grin.

Harley soon knocked the door down and stormed inside, approaching the fox menacingly. "Okay, Fox, I'm here for the special," he then demanded as he lifted the fox by the throat. "Open your hand!"

The fox grinned nervously and showed an empty hand.

"Now your other hand!" Harley demanded.

The fox then opened his other hand to show it was empty.

However, Hard Luck appeared from under the fox's toque. "Hiya, Harley!" he then beamed at his oldest and "bestest" friend. "Are you staying for breakfast?"

"Cover your eyes, little guy; you shouldn't watch such gratuitous violence." Harley advised Hard Luck who soon stepped away and did just that as the alligator began to beat down and pound the fox.

Soon, the fox was shown to have his face pounded in.

"You should've eaten him." Cathleen told the alligator.

"Should've, could've, didn't," Harley retorted as he stormed to the door and warned the fox aggressively. "The next meal you try to make with this little duck will be your last!" he then warned as he took Hard Luck away.

The fox soon hit himself in the head with a frying pan to bring his nose out as they left.

"Don't think I'm done with you just yet, Fox... I'll be back." Cathleen warned the fox as they left the restaurant.

"Are we still friends, Harley?" Hard Luck asked as he and his friend made it back into the water.

Harley chuckled warmly at that. "Yeah, yeah. We're friends, Hard Luck," he then reassured the duckling as he climbed back onto land after letting Hard Luck in the water. "But stay away from that crummy fox. Just play with your new friends." he then added.

Hard Luck then looked back at Cherry and Cathleen as a random duck was floating in the water. "Is it time to play?" he then wondered.

"NO! It's time to eat!" The fox grinned as he appeared from under the random duck which was a disguise and he snatched Hard Luck with a laugh only for Harley to rise up from underneath him. "Oh, it's you again! How nice..." he then chuckled nervously and gave Hard Luck back over to the alligator.

"YOU PUSHED ME TOO FAR, FOX!" Harley snarled as he grabbed the fox by the tail and spun him around like a ragdoll before throwing him right into a boat. "Ya just don't get it, Hard Luck. For the last time, stay away from that fox." he then advised his little buddy.

"Okay, Harley, but I sure am hungry." Hard Luck replied.

"What a coinky-dink!" The fox added as he grabbed Hard Luck in the water suddenly. "So am I! Hahaha! So let's eat!"

"Hey, look!" Hard Luck then pointed out.

"Don't tell me... your gator friend?" The fox guessed.

"Nope! It's a wolf!" Hard Luck clarified.

"D-D-D-Did you say a w-w-wolf?" The fox asked out of terror and soon, a wolf stalked over with blood-red eyes and fangs, though it was dark brown with hints of blonde fur.

Cherry rolled her eyes since she knew where this was going. "I'll take that." she then said as she took Hard Luck out of safety.

The fox soon tried to start up his speedboat only for roaring and growling to come from the wolf. Cherry then put up her book to block out the aggressive violence as blood began to fly all over the place and the fox screamed for his mommy, though it soon sounded like he was dying.

"So long, Fox! Don't go away mad, just go away!" Harley then called out before looking at Cherry. "Did she really haveta kill him though?"

"Cathleen never knows when enough is enough." Cherry replied as she kept Hard Luck safe.

"Well, it's getting late," Harley then said. "Mind if we get some sleep?"

"Not at all." Cherry said as she let Hard Luck climb into Harley's mouth to get some sleep.

"I sure do wish you'd build a bathroom up here for me, Harley." Hard Luck said, getting into his pajamas and going to bed which was a can of sardines with a pile of hay and a pillow.

"Later, Hard Luck! Much later." Harley promised as he began to get sleepy.

"G'night, Harley!" Hard Luck said as he turned out his light to get some sleep.

"Yeah, yeah. Good night, Hard Luck." Harley then said.

Cherry soon ate some salad as the full moon was shown in the sky while Cathleen devoured the fox and then let out a very loud and bone-chilling howl. Cherry rolled her eyes at that before she checked Hard Luck Duck off her list of mini-adventures for this very unique adventure.

Cathleen soon came back with a very full stomach and was back in her human form, picking her teeth with a bone. "So what's after this?" she then asked.

"I'll let you know when it comes up." Cherry replied, not enjoying this experience very much because of a certain elephant in the room.

"What was that about an elephant?" Cathleen asked.

Cherry just decided not to answer Cathleen's question and continued to eat her salad.

"Meh, whatever..." Cathleen shrugged before she hiccupped and let out a very loud and disgusting belch as she burped up the fox's toque and she wiped her mouth with it.

"Excuse you." Cherry muttered at that.
