"We're going away to Japan for a year?" Akito and Estelle asked their father after he had come home from his office at work.

"I was going to go alone, but since you guys are home-schooled, it might be a good idea if you came too..." Atticus smiled softly, but nervously. "There's a Japanese island called Okinawa."

"And besides who knows? You might even get to be able to meet Stitch," Mo told them before counting to herself quietly. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

"Ah, Mo, Stitch is in space now ever since Lilo went to college..." Atticus replied.

"Yes, but Drell gave me some information that Stitch landed on a island and is now living with a girl named Yuna along with Jumba and Pleakley and where they are staying with her older cousin, Tigerlily." Mo whispered.

Atticus and Mo both soon saw that Akito and Estelle had already went to start packing.

"Yeah, they soon went to their room to start packing as soon as you mentioned Stitch might be there." Vincent smirked to his parents.

"I guess you kids wanna meet Stitch, huh?" Atticus chuckled.

"Well, yeah, ever since those stories you told us about him." Vincent admitted.

"And let me guess, your brother wants to be the first to test his strength, right?" Mo giggled.

"Sounds about right to me," Vincent replied. "So, while we're there, will me, Akito, and Estelle have to go to the school there?"

"We'll see about that, but I'm sure if you do, it'll be much better than when you guys went to Hawthorne Prep," Atticus replied. "Your mother, Aunt Darla, and I didn't think that would be a right enough school for you, but Mr. Salamone insisted since his brother Gaston is on the board of education... Let this be a lesson that you shouldn't trust anyone named Gaston."

"We won't trust anyone with that name, by any chance, did you fight a guy with that name?" Vincent asked Atticus.

Atticus glanced at him. "You have a lot to learn."

Vincent smiled shyly as he then went to pack himself to go to Japan for the year.

"Japan for a year..." Mo sighed. "I can hardly believe that."

"There's another reason why," Atticus said. "Hamsterviel is working for Lady Delia and where I have a feeling they'll be sending down some evil aliens."

"Not Lady Delia..." Mo frowned.

"I'm sorry, dear..." Atticus said. "I'll help in any way we can and this might be a good trip for the kids."

"This is why you're the detective and I stay at home." Mo smiled.

"Yep and where I, um, kind of asked Jumba if we could stay with them." Atticus said.

"Wait, what?" Mo asked.

Atticus smiled sheepishly and rushed off.

"ATTICUS!" Mo warned.

Akito and Estelle's stomachs turned as they packed up, then smirked as their father was in trouble. Atticus was running for his life as he was running from his own wife. Mo growled as she chased Atticus.

"What's the problem?!" Atticus cried out. "You know Jumba is harmless now!"

"Yes, but his inventions sometimes explode!" Mo glared.

"Aw, come on, Mo..." Atticus put up a chair in defense.

Mo kicked the chair away. "Using a chair to defend yourself, do I look like a lion?!"

"No, you're much more frightening." Atticus said nervously.

"WHAT?!" Mo asked.

"I meant that in a good way, sweetheart!" Atticus smiled nervously then. "Like when Donkey met Dragon..."

Mo's hair soon went all flame-like while angry.

Atticus's eyes widened as he then smiled weakly with a small chuckle. "Heh, heh... Aw, sugar cubes..."

Mo soon began to chase him. Atticus then ran as Mo chased him.

Estelle then came to the telephone. "Hello, Barbie?" she then greeted on the other line. "Could you come over? I think Mom and Dad are a little tied up right now."

"Your mom is chasing him, right?" Barbie asked.

"Yeah..." Estelle replied. "Not sure why though... Dad didn't call Mom fat or anything like that."

"He said I was more frightening than a lion!" Mo told her daughter and Barbie while chasing after her husband.

"I did not!" Atticus replied.

"Think maybe you can come over for a little while?" Estelle then asked Barbie.

Barbie sighed and shook her head. "Parents... I'll be right there."

"Thank you." Estelle smiled.

"Sure, Estelle, should I bring Kelly too?" Barbie then offered since her little sister was the girl's best friend and all.

"Yes, please." Estelle smiled.

"Okay, be there in a few minutes." Barbie then said before hanging up.

Estelle then hung up and waited on the couch for Barbie and Kelly.

Akito continued to pack up.

"You about ready to go, Kito?" Estelle asked.

"I sure am." Akito said once he finished packing.

Estelle helped when she could.

Akito smiled and high-fived her gently once they finished. "Oh! Are you gonna bring your Monster High dolls?"

"Of course..." Estelle smiled. "They're awesome next to the Powerpuff Girls."

"Yeah," Akito said. "I can't believe of how Mom, Dad, Aunt Cherry, and Patch met them."

Akito and Estelle then looked out the window as they heard a car driving by.

Later on, Barbie and Kelly came to stay until Atticus and Mo would settle down, which might take a while.

"So, do you have any of the newer Monster High dolls?" Kelly asked Estelle.

"The newest one I have is Batsy Claro," Estelle replied. "She's an exchange student from Costa Shrieka."

"Cool." Kelly smiled.

"This is her..." Estelle showed her newest doll.

"You're so lucky that your dad gets you a new doll for every time he goes on a trip or investigation..." Kelly said softly.

Estelle soon looked down to her new doll before looking at her best friend and then handing her new doll to her.

"Oh, Estelle, I couldn't take your doll..." Kelly replied.

"It's only fair, I have so many of them already, you should have some extras for when I come over to play next..." Estelle insisted.

"Are you sure?" Kelly smiled.

"Yes." Estelle nodded.

"Oh, Estelle, that's thoughtful of you..." Kelly said to her best friend.

Estelle smiled back and they shared a hug.

After a while, Atticus and Mo settled down.

"Feeling better, Mr. and Mrs. F?" Barbie smiled.

"We'll be good..." Mo replied. "We decided to have a shower over it, thanks for looking after the kids for us, Barbie."

"No problem, Mrs. F." Barbie smiled.

"I'll see you later then, Estelle." Kelly said.

"I'll call you later!" Estelle called back to her best friend as the sisters then left to go back home for the night.

"When do we leave?" Akito asked his parents.

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow, I know it seems far away right now, but the time will go by quicker before you know it." Atticus replied. "I have to have an interview tomorrow though with my boss."

"How would you guys like to go to the movies for school?" Mo giggled since she home-schooled their children.

"We'd love to!" The Fudo twins smiled.

"I decided a special treat, at the end of the month, while your father's at work, we won't do any schoolwork, and we can go to the movies." Mo smiled back.

The Fudo siblings loved how this sounded of course.

"Try not to work too hard, dear..." Mo said to Atticus.

"When have I ever worked too hard?" Atticus asked.

"You did work pretty hard when you helped Zadavia out with Optimatus..." Mo reminded.

"Yeah... I guess I kinda let Akito down about that..." Atticus remembered.

"We're right here, you know?" Akito and Estelle replied.

"Sorry, kids, sometimes Mommy and Daddy think out loud..." Mo smiled sheepishly.

"Grown-ups are weird..." Akito said.

"Like Vincent." Estelle agreed.

Vincent glanced at his twin siblings. "I could've been an only child, but nooo..."

"Your life would have been boring." Akito said.

"I guess..." Vincent shrugged.

"You wouldn't know Jenny~" Estelle then said.

"I take back what I said," Vincent replied. "I love having siblings."

Akito and Estelle then hugged Vincent.

Later on, Atticus was writing a letter and sent it to Witherspoon the carrying pigeon to send off to Cherry about the family going to Japan and invited her to come if she wanted to.

"So, do we have everything we need for our trip to Hawaii?" Cherry asked Forte.

"I triple checked the list..." Forte replied, sounding slightly exhausted.

"Perfect, I don't wanna leave anything important behind." Cherry replied.

"I have everything packed, Maman." Felicity smiled.

"Good girl..." Cherry gently patted her on the head. "Now, is there anything else? I feel like I'm overlooking something."

They soon heard something tapping on the window.

Felicity looked to the window and gasped to see the castle messenger pigeon. "Witherspoon!"

Cherry opened the window and took the note from the pigeon's foot and read it as she looked over it. "Atticus and the family are going to Okinawa."

"Isn't that that one city in Japan?" Forte asked.

Felicity looked slightly torn as her favorite cousins and family were going to Japan, but she was going to Hawaii with her family.

"According to my research, yes..." Cherry replied.

"Should we put our trip to Hawaii on hold then?" Forte asked.

"We probably should..." Cherry replied. "Would you like to go to Japan, Felicity?"

"If it's okay with you and Papa..." Felicity replied shyly.

"Of course it is, we can always go to Hawaii next time." Forte said.

Cherry then wrote an answer back for Witherspoon and it was set.

Eventually, it was time for the families to go to Japan. It was very exciting for the families as they came to visit.

"I can't remember the last time we went to Japan..." Cherry said as she stood with Mo and Atticus.

"Did you guys ever meet Godzilla?" Akito asked the adults.

"Yeah, did you?" Estelle added with a smile.

"Uh, Godzilla's just a movie..." Cherry said sheepishly. "Right, guys?"

Atticus and Mo murmured in agreement, but the kids looked doubtful about that since the adults had been through a lot in their lives which eventually they had as well.

"Don't make me use a truth spell on you three." Akito said to the adults.

"Akito Benjamin Fudo..." Mo replied. "You are only a child, there's no way you could-"

Akito stared straight at them and waved his pointer finger.

"Okay, so we did!" Atticus then admitted. "That was forever ago though... But it was after we went to Tokyo with the Teen Titans."

"Huh, he was actually able to use that spell." Cherry said.

"I'm smarter than I look..." Akito replied.

"That's why I call you Baby Atticus." Cherry replied back.

Akito soon did the counter spell on them so they would have the free will to tell the truth when they wanted to. Cherry patted Akito on the head then.

"Can we go explore while you guys find the hotel?" Estelle begged the adults.

"Please!" Akito added.

"Well... I don't know if I feel comfortable about you all-" Forte frowned since they were small children.

"Sure." Cherry replied without thinking.

"Thank you!" Felicity and the Fudo siblings smiled.

"Cerise, are you sure that's wise?" Forte asked as his wife took out a cigarette to take a smoke break as it felt like an eternity since she last had one.

"They'll be fine..." Cherry replied. "Besides, if anything gives them trouble, they can fend for themselves, they're our kids after all."

"I suppose that's true." Forte admitted.

The adults then went to find a hotel while the kids went off to explore on their own. The kids couldn't help but sing the Aloha song to themselves since they knew Stitch would be around here somewhere.
