A/N: This story is dedicated to my older brother who is now a married man and is going to be a father in April. This was our favorite movie growing up and he will be turning 30 in January. As for the rest of you, Read & Review!
At a lodge in Tennessee we are being shown decorations for a wedding to be all set as it was getting dark. Cherry and Atticus were visiting, Cherry mostly of course for the wedding and Atticus was a guest. Cherry brought Atticus as they came outside to see an adult male shooting hoops.
"Michael?" Cherry came to him. "What're you doing up? It's after midnight, you have a big day coming up."
"I know," Michael replied to his little sister. "Just got a lot on my mind."
"Like what?" Atticus asked.
Michael shot another basket and caught the ball once it shot through the hoop and bounced back into his hands. "Well, ya know, I never thought I'd be getting married."
"I know, it's shocking for us all," Cherry replied. "You're gonna be great though, and you'll be a great father to Hayden, he already loves you more than his own dad."
"Yeah, I guess he does." Michael smiled softly.
Atticus soon noticed a shooting star.
"Wanna play, kid?" Michael smirked to his sister.
Cherry noticed Atticus drift slightly. "Uh, in a minute."
Michael nodded, then dribbled the ball and went back to playing his favorite sport since high school. Atticus continued to look up as he was wishing inside his head for his very first basketball game with Michael on the same team. Cherry started to make her own wish.
A little while later, Cherry and Atticus were getting sleepy.
"We're gonna go, you ready, Mike?" Cherry asked her brother.
"One more shot..." Michael said as he held his basketball, he looked to the basketball hoop and ran up to it and hopped up as he was dangling his tongue out and pretended to be like his idol from the Chicago Bulls himself: Michael Jordan.
And where out of nowhere; the shooting star stopped mid-air and started to search for its two wishers. Cherry and Atticus went back to the hotel to get some sleep.
Cherry yawned as she hung up her bridesmaid's dress and crawled into her bed for the night. "G'night..."
"Night..." Atticus yawned back as he fell asleep with her.
The shooting star soon found them and then shot right towards them to take them on a trip. The two were completely zoned out and sleepy that they didn't even seem to notice. At least, not yet. And where they were both sent to somewhere that would be the start of a new adventure. Cherry seemed to hum the Wedding March in her sleep since her brother was getting married soon. Atticus began to stir in his sleep as he could feel they weren't home anymore.
Cherry yawned and sat up, rubbing her eyes. "I need a glass of water..." she then reached for her glasses and did a double take. "Uhh..."
Atticus seemed to shake in his sleep slightly.
"Atticus, maybe you should see this?" Cherry said.
Atticus woke up and looked around. "Where are we?"
"Not the hotel, that's for sure." Cherry replied, not sure where they were.
"Well, wherever we are, we better find the owner." Atticus said.
Cherry rolled out of her bed with Atticus and they wandered around the very strange and unfamiliar place. "What is this place?" she wondered. "It looks like some weird alien amusement park."
"Yeah, but why are we even here?" Atticus asked.
"I dunno..." Cherry said. "We must've eaten something funny at the rehearsal dinner."
"Cherry, you didn't drink any champagne, did you?" Atticus asked sternly.
"No, I was waiting until I'd come out with the other bridesmaids and Ashley." Cherry replied.
"Well, maybe this is a dream." Atticus said.
Cherry then reached out and put her fingers between his cheek. Atticus then did the same.
"One... Two... THREE!" Cherry and Atticus counted and gave each other a sharp pinch. And where they both felt a slight pinch.
"OWW!" Cherry felt the most pain.
"Nope, we're not dreaming." Atticus said simply.
"Augh, Atticus, that felt like a giant hornet splintered me!" Cherry groaned out of pain from the pinch.
"Okay, then that must mean that we are dreaming." Atticus said.
"Owwww!" Cherry groaned.
"It didn't hurt that bad, did it?" Atticus asked.
"No, but... It kinda... Felt like THIS!" Cherry then knocked him against a metal wall.
"Didn't feel a thing." Atticus shrugged.
"Where'd you two come from?" A rough voice asked.
Cherry growled and started to fight Atticus. Atticus growled back and they both ended up into a fight cloud.
The source of the voice got impatient. "HEY!"
Cherry and Atticus then stopped, pulling on each other's hair and looked like a pair of bickering siblings in a typical quarrel.
"I said, WHERE DID YOU TWO COME FROM!?" the voice snarled.
"Um, that's kind of gonna be hard to explain." Atticus said.
"Yeah, we don't exactly know..." Cherry shrugged as she sat on Atticus's stomach.
"Get off me!" Atticus glared as he got her off him.
"NO!" Cherry glared back.
Atticus snarled and tackled her.
"Ow, ow, oww!" Cherry groaned from his strength. "Get off of me!"
"No!" Atticus replied, mocking her.
The figure came out, showing a very tall and fat monsterish man in a suit with a cigar who then reached out and picked them both up by their collars. "I don't know where you two came from, but you both belong to me now."
"Forget it, Fatso." Atticus glared as he used his magic on himself and Cherry and teleported them away.
"Get back here!" the monsterish man snarled.
"Okay, now we're back at the hot-" Cherry was about to say until they were now in a random neighborhood. "What the?!"
"I don't think we're in Tennessee anymore.." Atticus said.
"Stupid teleportation!" Cherry glared at him.
"I sense an adventure." Atticus said.
"We don't have time for an adventure, my brother's getting married in 48 hours!" Cherry replied.
"I think you'll have time for this adventure." Drell's voice said as the star that brought them there appeared.
"Drell...?" Cherry and Atticus asked.
Drell then appeared with a smile, dressed in a jersey with a short-sleeved top underneath with shorts, sneakers, and black socks as he held a basketball in his hands and had a whistle around his neck. "Hi, kids!"
"What's going on?" Atticus asked.
"Your new task of course." Drell said.
"Uh-uh, I don't have time for this, my brother's getting married, that's why we're away for the weekend, REMEMBER?!" Cherry firmly reminded.
Drell soon gave her a smirk, telling her that there was another reason why they were away for the weekend.
Cherry sighed and groaned. "Wha'ts wrong?" she then asked out of irritation of being involved in yet another adventure.
"Well, you see; in this adventure, you two will have to help in a basketball game." Drell said.
"Oh, I can play basketball..." Cherry smirked.
"Yeah, I can play too," Atticus smiled. "Who're we playing with?"
"The Looney Tunes." Drell replied.
"The Looney Tunes?" Atticus and Cherry asked awkwardly.
"Yes." Drell said.
Cherry and Atticus looked to each other and cracked up laughing.
Drell fluttered his lips. "When you two numb skulls are done cackling like a pack of hyenas on a sugar rush, maybe you'd like to hear WHY you need to do this before the world is plunged into disaster."
The two of them soon stopped laughing.
"Are you done?" Drell asked.
"Yes..." Cherry said.
"Okay, so, you have to play a game with the Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan-" Drell then started again.
"Michael Jordan?!" Cherry said before laughing again.
"I'm serious!" Drell glared.
Cherry kept laughing.
"SHUT UP OR I'LL MAKE YOU DOG MEAT!" Drell threatened, which then made her stop laughing. "Good..." he then smiled once that was over. "You guys have to get Michael Jordan to play in a basketball game with the Looney Tunes to save them from being enslaved by aliens from Moron Mountain."
"Okay, so how do we start this adventure?" Atticus asked.
"Well, lucky for you, I'll send you right over to Michael Jordan himself, but you'll be going back to the past," Drell said. "Back in 1996."
"Won't that make us younger?" Cherry asked.
"No, you'll exist in this timeline, but since Michael Jordan doesn't know either of you, you guys will be able to see him without messing with your destinies." Drell replied.
"Cool." Atticus smiled.
"That's stupid." Cherry said.
"You're stupid!" Drell glared. "Now, you just have to convince Mr. Jordan to play with the Looney Tunes."
"Oh, leave it to me," Cherry replied. "My brother is the biggest Michael Jordan fan ever, I know as much about him as he does!"
"Yep." Atticus nodded.
"Okay, so you'll go to his home..." Drell took out his wand to send them away.
"Don't mind if we do." Atticus smiled.
"Just don't show your strength just yet," Drell said. "Just let your muscles be for show, but not show-off show."
"Yes, Atticus, dont' show-off." Cherry shoved Atticus.
"I won't." Atticus assured them.
"Are you all ready then?" Drell asked.
"Yes, we're ready." Cherry and Atticus decided.
"Say hi to your brother for me." Drell teased Cherry before waving his wand and sending them back to the 90's when they were actually toddlers.
"Where will end up?" Atticus asked.
"We'll just have to see." Drell smirked as he waved his wand and sent them back in time without telling them any more.
Cherry and Atticus didn't like being in a random spot, but hopefully it wouldn't be anywhere dangerous.
