"Well, this was nice, but let's get going." Hilda smiled.

"Yeah, hopefully Zelda survived babysitting Ambrose." Cherry commented.

"Here's hoping the house survived that." Lionel replied as they went home.

Drell and Hilda soon brought them over to the Spellman house.

Zelda peeked her head out with a pasta drainer on her head like a helmet as the house was nearly turned upside down and a huge mess.

"Zelly?! What happened?!" Hilda gasped.

"That child!" Zelda cried out, pointing to Ambrose with a ladle as she had him trapped in front of the TV underneath a laundry basket with a bunch of heavy books to hold him in as he seemed hypnotized by a Sesame Street marathon. "Baby witches and warlocks have occasional magical surges every now and then, but HE is QUITE the handful!"

Ambrose giggled at the televised scenes of Ernie and Bert having a disagreement, which is common among two roommates fresh out of college and both sharing the rent. Hilda and Zelda soon used that time to clean up the house with their magic.

"I think Uncle Quig would have a stroke if he saw this mess." Sabrina commented.

"I never really liked Quigley." Drell added.

"Did ANYBODY?" asked Lionel. "Good thing he moved out and went to live in that Irish castle a few years ago."

Eventually within moments, the house was squeaky clean.

"My little terror," Drell said before picking up Ambrose who giggled innocently. "I guess I should've known his magical surges would be more powerful since my magic's pretty strong with me being Head of the Council and all."

"The apple must not fall far from the tree..." Lionel replied as Drell carefully tossed Ambrose up and down.

Ambrose giggled a bit from the playing.

"He is kinda cute..." Cherry muttered a bit about Ambrose.

"Yeah, when his magic isn't going completely bonkers.." Zelda retorted, putting out a flame on one of her hair strands, which apparently burnt off most of it, leaving her with a punkish look.

"Gah! What in the-?!" Cherry gasped. "What have you done to your beautiful hair?"

"Long story..." Zelda groaned. "It'll take an even LONGER time to grow back, though."

"You make it sound like it's my fault." Drell replied as he played with his son on the floor a little.

"Well, not directly, but if the shoe fits..." Zelda replied.

Drell stuck his tongue out a bit as he kept playing with Ambrose who giggled from that. A note soon came out of the toaster and Zelda went to check it before opening it up and giggled like a shy school girl.

"What's it say?" asked Hilda curiously.

"Oh... It's nothing too special..." Zelda blushed a bit. "Just a little poem from Will."

"Ooh~" Hilda smirked to her sister.

"Will who?" Cherry asked.

"Oh, you know, that actor you and Sabrina met on the Halloween Mystery Train in The Other Realm." Zelda smiled bashfully.

"...Okay...?" Lionel blinked, looking confused.

Zelda giggled a bit.

"Who Zelda seems to have a cru-ush on~" Cherry then teased the adult witch.

"Ohhh... Zelda, you sly fox!" Lionel chuckled. "Way to GO! I knew you'd get somebody hooked on ya!"

"Now, now, we're just talking," Zelda blushed a bit. "We went out for some coffee the other week when I had to stop into the Netherworld Marketplace for some eye of newt. You'd think that ingredient would be in bigger supply since we witches use that ingredient for a lot of spells or concoctions."

"Sure, that's how it starts," Lionel replied. "But it'll probably grow from there~! And to think, you were going on about how guys notice Hilda, but not you. Talk about irony!"

"Yeah, I think Zelda's a bit prettier than Hilda." Cherry said.

"What?!" Drell asked.

"I'm just saying," Cherry shrugged sheepishly. "Don't get so territorial over your lover. That's what turns me off from going to visit that alternate dimension called Cartoon Network City."

"Ohhh..." Lionel replied. "You never did tell me about that. If you want, just give me the abridged version."

"Well, we had a little vote on where to go for a class trip one week," Atticus replied. "So we all put in a vote to put our names in a hat and whoever's name was picked got to pick where we went."

"Cath voted for Cartoon Network City," Cherry added. "So she won and we got to go there. She then meet the main group there called The Howling Wolves. We all split up to meet some members of the group or at least allies. Atticus went to the gym, I went to the library, Thor went to the park, Mo met a girl who called herself a moonchild, Cleo met Top Cat and his gang..." she then began to start off with. "Sounds like fun, right?"

"Kinda, yeah," Lionel replied. "But with a line like that, you just know crap's gonna hit the fan fast and hard."

"Well, Cath bonded really well with the Howling Wolves," Cherry then said. "I'm not surprised in the least. Then I found this library book that had the history of the city and I found out about a guy named Dr. X. Drell said he was far worse and more dangerous beyond our training, so we might have to go home. I told him that Cath wouldn't like that and he called her a bit of a spoilsport about stuff like that. I agreed with him, but she overheard that and ran away crying to them, so I came to apologize and everyone pretty much treated me like I was the bad guy. This girl who had Hulk powers wanted to smash me, some of them mentioned sending Sledgehammer O'Possum after me, they all just pretty much made me sound terrible."

Lionel winced visibly. "That sounds AWFUL!" he exclaimed, horrified.

"Yeah, that one jock girl kept threatening me, especially with having a demon uncle that was Trigon," Atticus sighed a bit. "After Uncle Sombra nearly killed Cherry on that one Equestrian vacation, my biggest fear right now is losing Cherry to evil. I called her lady friend, Justine I think? Pretty, and then that Jo person nearly attacked me for 'flirting with her'."

"Geez, what a hardass!" Lionel exclaimed. "Someone's got a hair-trigger temper!"

"Yeah, it's like if you disagreed with her, you were writing your own death warrant, at least that's what those other kids said." Cherry commented.

"I wasn't that bad with my jealousy, was I?" Drell asked Hilda. "I mean, I know I turned that one pirate you went out with into a goat for the rest of the dance you visited, but you promised me a date then."

"I know... I guess I was just remembering some bad times." Hilda pouted a bit.

"Yeah, compared to that broad, I wasn't as bad," Drell replied. "At least when I did it, it was kinda funny!"

"What else happened?" Lionel asked.

"Pretty much angry stares for me the following days for a while," Cherry said. "Cath crying to their leader that she just wants to make everyone proud and saying how she couldn't even make her friends or teacher happy. You know, pretty much making me and Drell looking like assholes."

"Wow... Major dick move." Lionel noted.

"Also that jock girl kept saying she'd haunt my nightmares," Cherry rolled her eyes a bit. "Never mind that I pretty much rule the Dream Realm these days as Luna's student."

"They also laughed at Cherry for being afraid of Uncle Sombra simply because he was a unicorn," Atticus added. "I then got them to shut up by yelling at them, which, ya know, brought out my dark crystals."

Lionel nodded in response.

"Those people made me feel like an idiot!" Thor pouted as he came in.

"Oh, Thor, come on in." Hilda said to her nephew by marriage.

"Do you even know what we're talking about?" Cherry asked.

"Yeah!" Thor replied. "That time in Cartoon Network City! I told those lava-bending twins that I knew what they could do 'cuz Uncle Drell runs the Witch's Council, and they tried to ignore me and acted like I was making stuff up and that Uncle Drell was a liar!"

Lionel hugged him. "I'm sorry you had to experience that."

"I mean, sure if you wanna protect your identity from people you know aren't special like that, sure you could lie about it, right?" Thor pouted.

"Yeah, besides if they were both mortals and you told them that, they would've turned into stone anyway," Drell replied. "I don't know why those people try to cover up their secrets like that when you know they're not who they appear to be."

"Yeah, when I meet someone I know is a magical being, I tell them I'm a witch openly," Sabrina shrugged. "I mean, unless they end up being allies with Tim the Witch Smeller."

"That makes sense to me," replied Lionel. "But those guys sound like utter jerks!"

"They all seemed pretty sharp when their leader told them what to do even though she was younger," Cherry shrugged. "I just don't know what to think of that place. I'm not sure if I wanna go back, I was happy for Cath though when her boyfriend met us there for a big dance at this night club they called Club Paradise though. Almost as if that was supposed to make up for the bad things that happened. I know I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but they just made me feel like a total dick."

"I'm sorry all of you had to go through that kinda torment." Lionel replied sadly.

"It seemed so cool at first until it got all over the top," Mo said. "Plus when we had to solve a mystery of what was going on, Cath just had to say 'Jinkies' like Velma."

"I guess that makes sense with how much she loves cartoons." Lionel shrugged from that at first.

"Yeah, but some idiot then said 'Jinkies? What is that? Some kind of breakfast cereal?'." Mo then added which made Cherry groan a bit.

"Yeah... That was Johnny Bravo from when he met the Scooby-Doo gang," Lionel replied. "But that time it was funny cuz Johnny didn't know what was going on."

"Yeah, then it was funny, but hearing it a lot down there really got under my skin." Cherry added.

"That's the thing with jokes: they're only funny if used sparingly," Lionel replied. "If you spam the same joke, it gets boring and predictable."

Cherry paused a moment before looking to the teenage warlock. "Hey, Thor, you thinking what I'm thinking?" she then asked.

"Uh... Why is it called a flea market when they don't really sell fleas?" Thor then asked in a stereotypical simpleton voice.

The others then waited for a moment.

"When are people gonna learn that I'm not dumb or oblivious?" Thor asked. "I think the only time I felt like this is when I was blinded by my crush on Cherry before I got over her."

Everyone murmured in agreement to that statement.

"Well, you don't have to go back if you don't want to." Drell replied.

"WHAT?!" Cherry yelped, running up to him. "Where was this option during those times Atticus and I had to go back to Jurassic Park?!"

"That was beyond my control." Drell replied.

"Whoof..." Lionel winced.

"Knowing Cath though, she's gonna wanna go back sometime..." Cherry muttered. "Yeah, never mind the pain and abuse I endured, as long as you get to see your precious friends and boyfriend again."

"...I think I've heard plenty..." Lionel replied as he hugged Cherry and patted her gently on the back.

Cherry welcomed the hug, but didn't fully hug back yet.

"Maybe I'll give you guys a little vacation to make up for that time," Drell soon suggested as he kept playing with Ambrose. "Though knowing your lives, it'll still be an adventure regardless of the vacation."

"Alright," said Lionel. "Where are we gonna go?"

"Hmm... Where can we go?" Atticus pondered.

And so the group all collectively pondered on that.

"Have fun with that," Drell said before carrying Ambrose up to his room. "I think someone needs a nap."

"No! Don't leave him alone!" Zelda panicked. "He might use magic to break out of his crib!"

"Well..." Lionel pondered. "I figure I might know somewhere."

"Yeah?" Cherry replied.

"Yep." Lionel said.

"Please tell me right now and not while leaving me as a blank slate..." Cherry groaned. "I hate it when people do that."

"Heh, sorry." Lionel replied.

"Okay, Lionel, what did you have in mind?" Atticus smiled.

"Well, I was thinking we could hang out at this place called Lakewood Plaza Turbo," explained Lionel. "Place is run by and populated with heroes, who regularly do battle with the evil Boxmore corporation, located directly across the street."

"Lakewood Plaza Turbo?" Atticus asked.

"You know it?" Lionel replied.

"I feel like I've heard of it, but I know I haven't been." Atticus said.

"Well, they're pretty cool from what I've heard," Lionel replied. "We could head over there, hang out, fight some bad guys, that sorta thing."

"Hang out and fight bad guys," Atticus chuckled. "Like the real Teen Titans than the ones they show on TV nowadays that my little cousin Dot watches sometimes."

"My sentiments exactly," Lionel replied. "So is that a yes on L.P.T.?"

"Sure thing," Atticus smiled. "I can't guarantee we'll be relaxing all the time, but it'll be something."

"I guess a change of scenery would be good." Cherry added.

"I just hope the people there are nice." Mo smiled.

"Ooh... Can I go?" Thor pouted at first to Lionel. "I mean... You and me are like brothers."

Lionel smiled. "Hey, it wouldn't be as fun if YOU weren't there. So yeah." he replied.

Thor beamed from that as he brought his friends into a group bear hug.

"Aw... Love you too, big guy." Lionel smiled.

Thor smiled back to them.

"Ah, Thor, you were always so affectionate," Drell chuckled to his nephew. "Not sure who you got that from. Hm... I think I have an old colleague in this Lakewood Plaza place. I might have to look into that for you before you get going."

"If you say so," replied Atticus. "Couldn't hurt."

"Hopefully it goes smoothly," Drell said. "Again, sorry about that Cartoon Network City experience. I guess I should've expected that to happen."

"Hey, water under the bridge," replied Lionel. "Best we can do is learn from the bad and ensure that it doesn't happen again!"

"I think I know that too well." Drell smirked as he came up behind Hilda, clasping his arms over her waist.

"Ooh!" Hilda blushed from that.

"I don't want any more little cousins right now!" Sabrina gasped from that.

"No promises." Drell replied with a smirk.

Sabrina shuddered a bit while Hilda giggled.

"Keep it to yourself until the kids leave." Hilda told her husband bashfully.

"Fine, fine." Drell shrugged as he and Hilda went upstairs.

Sabrina wiped her forehead a bit, though she didn't mind having a new uncle as it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.

"Hmm... I guess I could check out that Plaza place... I'm rather curious..." Cherry had to admit. "Hopefully nothing's boring or samey."

"Don't worry, at Lakewood Plaza, nothing could be considered boring," replied Lionel. "Especially since most of the patrons have chi powers!"

"Chi powers?" Atticus smiled out of intrigue.

"That's what you do with Goku, right?" Thor asked him.

"Something like that, but mostly with Ki." Atticus nodded.

"Yep," Lionel replied. "One of the people who works there is this former superhero called Silver Spark, but she just goes by Carol nowadays. She runs a gym there while her son K.O. works at the local bodega."

"Silver Spark... I think I've heard of that name too from my dad's old comic book collection." Cherry remarked.

"Either way, it's supposed to be a pretty fun and zany place." said Lionel. "I say we go for it!"

"All right, let's check this out, until next time!" Cherry then said.

The End
