Cherry and Atticus were visiting a fancy dress shop because they were invited for a special night that involved some old friends who were famous.

"Good thing our parents were also invited." Atticus smiled.

"They must be really proud..." Cherry said, she found a dress that wasn't too dark, but not too light either so both her mother and herself would be happy if she wore it for tonight. She then took it and went into one of the changing stalls to try it on and closed the curtain.

"I just hope my dad remembers to control his new strength." Atticus said while still looking for the right suit to wear.

"Hopefully he does, it can be overwhelming the first itme, I remember when you first woke up with yours," Cherry said as she put her old clothes on the edge of the door as she grabbed her dress to put it on and try it on. "It was pretty surprising."

"It sure was." Atticus said as he chose a suit that was as dark as night.

Cherry then lifted her hair up and patted down the dress. "Okay, I want your honest opinion on this one..." she said, then walked out of the stall to show the dress she picked out. "How does it look?"

"You look amazing." Atticus smiled.

"I hate it..." Cherry walked off then.

"Aw, come on!" Atticus groaned. "It's a compliment!"

"I hate dressing up..." Cherry rolled her eyes, then went to the woman up front. "How much?"

"$20." The woman told her.

Cherry took out her wallet and took out the money to pay for the dress.

"You guys going somewhere special?" the woman asked, taking her money and fiddling with her register.

"We're going to the opening of the Criminology Museum tonight," Cherry explained. "We're honored guests."

"Along with our parents." Atticus said as he went to the changing room to try on the suit he chose.

"Let's hope you have fun then, kids." the woman said, then gave Cherry her change.

Cherry then went to go back into the changing stall to put on her regular clothes and put the dress in a bag. After she got in her normal clothes and the bag, she waited for Atticus so then they could go get home and get ready for tonight.

"How do I look?" Atticus asked after coming out of the changing room.

"Better than I ever could..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

Atticus sighed and shook his head. "There's just no pleasing you, is there?"

"I'm fickle, and yet you still wanna be my friend." Cherry replied.

Atticus sighed as he paid $50 for the suit.

"Have a nice day." the woman told the two of them.

"Thank you." Cherry and Atticus replied, then left with their new dress and suit.

Patch was waiting for them to get out and where he would also be going to the opening. Cherry and Atticus came out.

"You okay, boy?" Atticus asked his puppy.

"Yep, just been sitting here, waiting for you guys to get out of the store." Patch said.

"Come on, let's get home then, we got some work to do." Atticus said.

The humans went their separate ways to get ready, the big night would be here before they would know it as the sun was nearly in the setting position.

Patrick was now getting himself ready for the big night, but was having a little trouble with his new muscles. Emily was curling her hair with a curling iron.

"EMILY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!" Patrick called.

Emily sighed. "Men..."

"Maybe they'll be alright with no sleeves." Patrick shrugged.

Emily sighed as she continued to hot curl her hair. "I worry about you sometimes..."

They then heard the front door open and close.

"Mom! Dad! Me and Patch are home!" Atticus called.

"Maybe he can help me with my suit." Patrick said.

"Good luck with that." Emily hid a smirk.

Patrick glanced at his wife and rolled his eyes. "When are you going to grow up?"

"Never!" Emily laughed.

"Are you two ready...Yet?" Atticus asked before seeing his father's suit ripped thanks to his fathers new muscles. "It happened again, right?"

Patrick smiled nervously. "I might need a little bit of help."

"Oh, boy..." Atticus sighed. "All right, come here, Dad..."

Patrick came over to his son before Atticus used his magic and made a suit for him that wouldn't rip.

"Thanks, Atticus." Patrick smiled proudly.

"No problem, Dad." Atticus smiled back.

"What're you doing with your hair?" Patch asked his owner's mother.

"Curling it," Emily explained. "This hot iron spreads on my hair and gives me neat and bouncy curls."

"Cool." Patch smiled.

"I'd let you borrow it, but it's just for girls, plus, you don't have hair." Emily giggled.

"Yeah..." Patch rolled his eyes slightly.

Darla held a pillow in her arm as she was coming down with Jessica.

"We're on our way to Amber's," Jessica told her family. "Have fun at the Institute."

"We sure will and you have fun at your sleepover." Atticus said to his sisters.

"I know I will." Darla smiled.

"See ya guys later then." Jessica waved as she then took Darla's hand over to her car to drive her to her best friend's house.

Darla gave a quick wave and followed Jessica to the car.

"I need to look my best." Patch said.

Patrick bent down and tied a bow tie around the Dalmatian puppy. "How's this?"

Patch looked down. "Do I look fancy?"

"You look like a real gentledog." Emily said once she finished curling her hair.

"Great." Patch smiled.

"You ready, dear?" Patrick then asked his wife.

"Help me with my necklace, please?" Emily requested as she turned her back to him.

Patrick nodded, then hooked the golden necklace with a seashell charm attached to the end of it around his wife's neck. "Of course, darling."

"This is going to be a great night." Emily smiled.

"It'll become the best night ever!" Patch hopped up slightly in the air.

There was a knock at the door.

Patrick opened the door to see a limo driver. "Oh, good evening, sir."

"I am here to escort you all to the Institute." the driver replied.

"Cool, we get to arrive in a limo." Patch smiled.

"I thought if we were gonna do this, why not travel in style?" Patrick smiled to his family as he slid Emily's coat on around her arms.

"You're so sweet..." Emily smirked. "Your heart is as big as your ego."

Atticus and Patch chuckled to this while Patrick blushed slightly. The family came into the limo, sitting in the backseat and the driver shut the door behind them once they were ready to go, then sat up front to drive them to the Institute.

"This is so exciting." Patch smiled.

Mo was wearing a purple and white dress with heels. She was actually willing to wear a dress this time.

"Mo, dear, I thought you'd like to wear this." James took out a golden hearted necklace.

"Oh, it's lovely..." Mo smiled at the necklace.

After a little while, Mo was now wearing the necklace.

Colette was wearing her ruby red bow and was walking along. "How do I look?"

"Like your mother." Tramp smiled to her.

"Aw! Thanks, Dad." Colette smiled.

Tramp nuzzled her. "Hope you and Mo have a lot of fun."

Colette happily nuzzled her father back.

"Is your ride here yet?" Scamp asked.

Mo looked out the window to look for her ride. And where the limo had arrived just in time.

"My ride's here!" Mo called to her family as she got on her coat to leave with Colette.

"Yay!" Colette cheered.

"You have fun, okay, sweetie?" Lady smiled to her daughter.

"Yes, Mom..." Colette nodded. "I promise to be on my best behavior."

"I know you will." Lady nuzzled her.

"Mo, what channel!?" Elizabeth called from upstairs.

"Channel 19!" Mo called as she left with the cocker spaniel puppy for their best night ever.

"Ah, hello, Madame." The driver smiled.

"Good evening, sir." Mo forced herself to curtsy.

The driver got the door for her and Colette. Mo and Colette thanked the driver and got into the limo to travel to the Institute.

Michelle was in the bedroom, crying and sniffling a little.

Cherry walked down the hall, wearing a black dress with flats and a black and silver necklace with her hair worn down. "You okay, Mom?"

"I'm just so proud of you..." Michelle sniffled.

"Then why are you crying?" Cherry asked.

"Tears of joy..." Michelle hugged her daughter nice and tight.

Cherry grunted and blinked rapidly.

"I think your daughter would like to breathe and be alive of when the limo arrives." Bud said.

Michelle then let go. "I'm just so happy!"

"Yeah..." Cherry rubbed the back of her neck before wincing. "GAH!"

"Something wrong?" Bud asked her daughter.

"I'm fine... Just... Guess I slept wrong..." Cherry smiled sheepishly.

Bud and Michelle glanced to each other, then back to their daughter.

"I'm gonna wait on the porch." Cherry went out the front door.

"Maybe your neck needs a good neck rub." Michelle smiled.

"No, it's okay..." Cherry smiled sheepishly.

"I think you do." Bud said.

"I'm fine..." Cherry walked off.

Michelle sighed. "Our little girl is growing up..."

"Ah, Shell, it's okay..." Bud held his arm around her.

"You're right." Michelle said.

Bud gave her a kiss to relax her.

Cherry's ride arrived and the passenger poked her head in. "My ride's here, I'll see you guys later."

"See ya later, Cher Bear!" Bud called.

"See ya!" Cherry called back as she was now on her way to the Institute herself.

Everything was going to be perfect tonight or so they hoped. The limo was on its way to the Institute, but was stuck for a moment.

"What's up!?" Mo called to the driver as she sat comfortably with the others.

"The driver in front is making a stop..." the driver explained, then looked strangely. "To Burger King?"

"Must be for Shaggy and Scooby." Atticus said.

Patrick put the window down and poked his head out. "There is a limo that looks like Mystery Machine."

"Yeah, Shaggy and Scooby." Cherry deadpanned.

Luckily, it didn't take long for Mystery Inc to get their orders. Once the Mystery Inc limo drove ahead, the other limo could continue after it so they could make it to the Institute Opening in time and where luckily for them, there wasn't any traffic to get in their way.

"Sorry about that, folks." the driver said about the unscheduled stop.

"It's okay." Atticus shrugged.

The driver then made his way to the opening, following the other limo. Patch put the window down and stuck his tongue out, putting his head out as many dogs did. Colette glanced at Patch, she had never done that, as her mother didn't and her father didn't anymore.

"Come on, Colette, you gotta try this!" Patch told his girlfriend.

Colette shrugged, then copied him to see what the big deal was, and where she felt of how great it was as the wind was blowing against her fur.

"How do ya feel!?" Patch asked.

"This is spectacular!" Colette laughed, having a lot of fun.

"I thought you might like this." Patch smiled.

"I do!" Colette laughed. "I really d-" she then gasped and choked a moment.

"You all right?" Patch asked.

"I just swallowed a bug, but I don't care!" Colette laughed.

"I'm glad you're enjoying this moment." Patch smiled.

Colette laughed.

"You look pretty tonight." Atticus said to Mo with a bashful smile.

Mo blushed and smiled back. "Thank you, Atticus and you look handsome and I noticed that your father looks bigger than the last time I saw him." She then said.

"Heh... Well, I gave him a helping hand..." Atticus smiled proudly.

"You're so sweet..." Mo cooed.

"I try my best." Atticus said.

Mo smiled to him and lay her head on his shoulder. Cherry was lazily playing with her phone as the couples were in embrace.
