Darla sighed as she waited on the front porch with Amber and Maisy. This seemed to take forever, until finally, the letter carrier came by with the mail.
"Hello there, girls." the mailman greeted.
"Hey!" Darla beamed. "Any mail from Paris?!"
"This time, yes." The mailman said.
"Yay!" the girls cheered and took the letter from Paris and zipped inside the house, zipped upstairs, came into Darla's bedroom and shut the door.
"I wanna read it!" Amber begged.
"No, no, it's my mail, I'll read it!" Darla stood on top of her bed to take the letter out of Amber's reach.
"Oh, come on!" Amber complained.
Darla then opened the envelope.
"Hiyah!" Amber then tackled Darla on her bed.
Atticus and Cherry walked in as the best friends fought over the letter.
"It's mine!" Darla groaned.
"I have a right to read it as much as you do!" Amber argued.
"Why are you two arguing?" Cherry asked.
Atticus took the mail away from the little girls.
"I got a letter from Madeline in Paris and I wanna read it first." Darla said.
"I should read it first!" Amber retorted. "I knew Madeline longer than you have!"
"But she chose me as her pen pal!" Darla glared.
"I'll read it to the both of you." Atticus said.
"Okay..." the girls said.
Cherry rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I don't have time for this, I gotta pack for Paris to meet MY old friend, Charlotte." she then walked off out of the room.
Atticus took the letter out of the envelope and read it. "'Dear Darla and Amber, I have missed you both so much since our first meeting and I was saddened for you both to go back to your homes in America. You really must come back to visit sometime soon, the other girls miss you too, even Miss Clavel misses you guys and even Genevieve. I hope this letter comes to you all safely and you come to France again real soon. Yours fairly and truly, Madeline Fogg'."
"Aw!" The girls smiled.
Atticus smiled back to them. "So glad that you and Madeline are all friends."
"Yeah, we wish we could go to school with her, but she's all the way in Paris of course." Darla said.
"If only there was a way we could go to Paris..." Amber sighed.
Patch soon came in with a timer on his head and where it soon went off as soon as the girls realized they had magic to bring them there.
"Magic!" Darla and Amber then remembered.
Atticus chuckled to his little sister and her best friend. "Hey, Cherry is going to Paris herself, maybe you guys would like to join her?"
"Yeah and maybe you could come with us." Darla smiled up at her big brother.
"Oh, girls, I couldn't impose..." Atticus smiled back.
"Aw, come on, you're like a big brother to me too." Amber pried.
"Well, if you put it that way..." Atticus said before zipping and coming back with luggage packed with his passport. "I guess I could help you girls settle in and say hi to Madeline and the other little girls again."
"Yay!" The girls cheered.
Atticus smiled to their excitement.
One day at the airport...
Cherry was going there and was in line to get on the plane to Paris, she smiled as she thought she was going to have a relaxing vacation away from usual adventures for a little while, but then saw Atticus coming with Darla and Amber. "This is not going to be a relaxing vacation." She then sighed.
"Hey, Cherry, we're going to Paris too!" Darla smiled.
"That's nice..." Cherry replied flatly.
"What's wrong?" Atticus asked.
"If you're here, then something crazy is going to happen." Cherry replied.
"Oh, come on, maybe it won't." Amber said.
"Maybe it will..." Cherry replied as she gave her passport.
The person stamped it and let her go on the plane and did the same for Atticus, Darla, and Amber. Atticus soon heard something going on with one of the engines on one of the wings of the plane. Cherry was on her way.
"Uh, let me handle this, Cherry." Atticus came in front of her.
"Ladies first, Atticus Dorko." Cherry glared.
The engine started to go red as something or someone was using heat vision from the ground underneath it.
"Excuse me just a moment." Atticus said and zipped off.
"Oh, well, at least Drell's not here." Cherry shrugged to herself.
Atticus soon attacked the one who was heating up the engine before he cooled it down with his super freezing breath so it wouldn't overheat when they would take off. "You're not ruining my Parisian vacation." he glared to the ones who tried to overheat the plane as he came back.
Everyone then got into the plane and were eager to visit Paris, France. The pilots warned everyone to dress warmly as it would be snowing in Paris soon and told everybody about the estimated length of the flight which would be quite a while since it was another country and all. Atticus soon saw it was Non and where Sombra was behind him in the shadows of the plane. He yelled out, but then took another look and shivered.
"Something on the wing of the plane?" Cherry taunted as she was reading a book to pass the time on the flight.
Non soon grabbed Atticus into a super bear hug, thinking he could crush his bones.
"Silly boy..." Cherry replied as she wasn't paying attention.
"Let go!" Atticus growled and fought back.
Non began to tighten his grip and wasn't going to plan on letting him go. Atticus snarled and then beat him back. Non then vanished as Cherry looked over and Atticus was in his seat, punching the air now until he accidentally hit her cheek.
"OW!" Cherry yelped and then glared. "ATTICUS, WHAT THE HECK?!"
"Shhh!" the flight attendant told her.
"I'm so sorry about that, Cherry." Atticus said.
"Ow, man!" Cherry rubbed her face and winced. "Gah, that stings!"
Atticus magicked up an ice pack and put it on her wound. "Better?"
"Yeah, now tell me; why the heck did you hit me?" Cherry asked.
"I saw Non, he was right here." Atticus explained.
Cherry narrowed her eyes as no one was around them.
"He was right here! Didn't you see him?!" Atticus panicked.
"Okay, I'm going to Music Land, call me when you're sane." Cherry put on her headphones.
"Atticus, I think Uncle Sombra might have used his magic to send you in your seat." Darla said as she saw Non and Sombra outside.
"You see them too?" Atticus asked in relief.
Darla pointed out the window. Sombra and Non laughed wickedly as they were on the wing on the plane like in the infamous Twilight Zone episode. Atticus was ready to fight them only for him to see them teleported away thanks to Sombra's magic. Cherry fell asleep with her music with the ice pack on her face.
"They got away." Atticus groaned.
Darla frowned as she hoped for the best for Atticus.
"I'm watching you two..." Atticus sneered. "Do you hear me, Uncle Sombra? WATCHING!"
"Shh!" The flight attendants told him.
"Sorry." Atticus whispered quietly.
"I hope Sombra doesn't appear everywhere Atticus looks." Amber whispered.
"Same here." Darla whispered back in agreement.
Atticus soon got sleepy and then fell asleep on the plane.
"Whew, he's going to sleep." Darla whispered.
"I'm right behind him." Amber said sleepily.
Darla giggled to her best friend. "Amber..."
Amber and Darla soon went to sleep. It was now a peaceful time on the plane for everyone and where it would be smooth sailing. Atticus was still wary, but so far, the rest of the plane ride was normal.
