There was a magical city bus that was in the sky. Cherry, Atticus, Mo, Hilda, Zelda, Salem, Sabrina, and Patch were sitting together in the passenger seats as Drell was at the front while Skippy was driving.

"LOOK OUT FOR THAT BIRD!" Drell pointed, then whacked the back of Skippy's head. "You cannot drive! I haven't seen Jerry Russo in twenty years and I don't plan to see him with us as sky roadkill!"

"Why can't we just teleport there?" Patch asked.

"Because I said so!" Drell replied.

Cherry moaned and groaned as she cupped her mouth and looked rather carsick from the air travel.

"Drell, if we don't land soon; Cherry is going to throw up." Atticus said.

"I know what I'm doing!" Drell replied.

"Oh, poor Drelly's so stressed..." Hilda cooed.

"Why?" Mo asked.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna help..." Hilda stood up.

"NO STANDING WHILE THE BUS IS IN MOTION!" Drell even snapped at her.

Hilda then massaged his back with a lustful smirk.

"I think we're here," Atticus said. "At our, destination I mean."

"Are we...?" Drell smiled dreamily as Hilda massaged him.

Skippy looked ahead and nodded.

"Land, Skippy." Drell said lightly.

Skippy then pushed a button which then made them drop like a stone from the sky right to the road. The others screamed in alarm and panic as they held each other, fearful of landing, but Hilda, Zelda, Drell, and Skippy looked calm.

"Are you kidding me?! None of you are freaked out about this?!" Atticus asked while screaming.

"This is totally normal, you guys, it's going to be all right." Zelda replied as she read one of her books that she brought with her while her hair was flying up behind her head.

"WE ARE GOING TO DIE!" Cherry cried out.

"Cherry, if you were going to die, don't you think I'd be responsible for it and not a bus crash?" Drell asked.

"OH, MY GOD, YOU'RE THE DEVIL!" Cherry panicked. "YOU'RE PUNISHING ME FOR EVERYTHING BAD I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE, OKAY, IF THAT'LL END THIS MADNESS NOW, I'LL CONFESS, I'LL CONFESS! I was the one who cancelled Firefly, I was the one who gave Taco Bell a breakfast menu, I was the one who encouraged Fred to have an online series, I was the one who got rid of all of the cartoons on Cartoon Network, I was the one who told Kid Danger and Captain Man to become superheroes, JUST LET ME LIIIVE!"

They soon came to a landing on the ground in front of a building.

"Okay, we're here..." Drell gently called.

Cherry ran out the door first and ran to a trashcan outside by the building and heaved into it.

"Wow, she sure is happy to be on the ground." Mo said.

"Yeah, I'm really barfing for joy..." Cherry mumbled before her cheeks puffed up and she continued to hurl.

"Man..." Sabrina wobbily stepped out of the bus. "And I thought Aunt Hilda had driving problems..."

"You should've seen her when she first rode her broomstick." Zelda teased.

"At least we're on safe ground." Patch said.

"You said it, buddy." Salem agreed.

Atticus looked to see the building they stopped at. "A Sandwich Shop?"

"Heheheh, time to pay Jerry an old visit..." Drell rubbed his hands together. "Wanna come in with me, Hilda?"

"Sure." Hilda smiled.

Drell then held out his arm for her.

Hilda smiled as she linked her arm with his, then looked to the others. "You guys wait here, we'll meet up with old friends and let you in."

With that, the two then came into the sandwich shop as it wasn't opened quite yet, but the front door was unlocked with the help of some magic.

There were two adults already in the shop, cleaning up, and getting ready.

"Where are they?" the woman frowned. "They know they have work to do!"

"I'm sure they're on their way, Theresa." the man soothed his fiery wife.

"Well, they better get here soon." The woman known as Theresa said.

Drell and Hilda walked in together.

"Oh, Dios mío!" Theresa exclaimed. "Customers and we're not even open yet!"

"Hello, Jerry." Drell said to the man.

"Drell, is that you?" the man asked in surprise.

"In the flesh!" Drell laughed.

Jerry came up to Drell and gave him a friendly hug. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Same to you and you seem to have let yourself go." Drell smirked.

Jerry looked down at himself sheepishly and smiled nervously. "So, what brings you here other than to judge?"

"I've brought some company along to meet your kids for the week off of school." Drell replied.

"Oh, yes, please, bring them in." Jerry smiled.

Drell opened the door. "Okay, you guys can come in now!"

Zelda came in and stood next to her sister as the teenagers and their puppy friend walked in.

"What a cute little perro!" Theresa smiled to Patch as she bent down to him and gave him a gentle pet behind his ears, knowing that dogs liked that. "You remind me of a dog we used to have when I was a little girl."

"Well, I'm happy to make you happy, ma'am." Patch smiled.

"Oh, this dog is so cute, it's like he's talking to me." Theresa giggled.

"Uh, Theresa, that's because he is." Jerry told his wife.

"Hello." Patch smiled.

"What...?" Theresa's eyes widened.

"You ever talk to a dog before?" Patch asked.

Theresa looked woozy and then fainted.

"Oh, ma'am!" Patch yelped.

"I'm sorry about that, you see, my wife is a mortal." Jerry replied apologetically.

"We know sir, but, shouldn't your wife be getting used to things like this?" Atticus asked.

"I guess a talking dog is different than a dog who's part dragon..." Jerry slightly rolled his eyes about one of his experiences.

"Wait, wait, hold on," Sabrina spoke up. "You're a wizard and your wife is mortal?"

"That's right." Jerry nodded to her.

"Then how come you guys can stay together?" Sabrina asked. "My father's a warlock and my mother's a mortal, but they divorced when I was a little kid because they were different!"

"I had to give up my magic." Jerry said.

"You... You gave up your magic?" Sabrina asked.

"It's kind of the law of wizards," Drell explained to the blonde witchling. "Only one child born into the wizard family can have the abilities while the others go without magic and Jerry sacrificed his magic so he could marry Theresa."

"Thank you, Drell..." Jerry sounded slightly angry that the warlock gave it away when it was his life.

"And where unfortunately, his irresponsible brother has the magic now." Drell groaned.

"Yes, thank you, Drell!" Jerry said through his teeth.

"Your brother?" Patch and the teenagers asked.

"Yeah, Kelbo, or as you probably know him better as 'Shakira'." Jerry replied.

"Oh, I love Shakira!" Sabrina beamed. "Her music is so-Wait... What do you mean your brother's Shakira?"

"I'd rather not talk about it." Jerry shuddered.

"I'm sickened, but also curious..." Sabrina blinked.

"Our friend Robyn has an uncle who's a wizard," Patch spoke up. "Did Robyn's mother give up her magic?"

"Robyn?" Jerry asked curiously.

"Yeah, Robyn Starling, her father's a famous explorer." Patch replied.

"Oh, right, her." Jerry said, remembering her name.

"Do you know anything about Robyn's mother?" Atticus asked Jerry. "We only know that she died when Robyn was a baby."

"Yes, I did know her." Jerry frowned.

"She was a really great woman..." Hilda sighed. "We told her to stay away from Pristine Figg."

"But she wouldn't listen..." Zelda also sighed.

"At least we won't have to see that woman again." Atticus said.

"Hopefully and thankfully," Hilda giggled. "We heard about what you guys did with her after that terrible fire at Robyn's Nest."

"How embarrassing." Zelda agreed with a laugh about 'Aunt Figg's' punishment.

"So, Jer, where are your kids?" Drell asked. "They don't have school, do they?"

"No, they are around here somewhere." Jerry said.

"How's about we split up and look for them?" Mo suggested.

"Sounds good." Atticus agreed.

Jerry then gestured for some of them to come behind the counter and showed them a secret door to a study-like room. "This is where I tutor Alex, Justin, and Max on their magic after school sometimes."

"Cool, it's disguised as the place where most places store food." Patch smiled.

"I'll wait out here in case any of your kids come out here." Atticus said.

"Good luck finding them, they can be sneaky sometimes, especially Alex and Max." Jerry warned.

Atticus nodded before going to the subway train part of the place, having a feeling one of the wizard siblings would come there especially since a bag was there and he could sense some powerful magic inside it. Patch decided to go with him just to make sure. Mo and Cherry went another way while Sabrina went with Salem to the other. And where Atticus's suspicion was correct as a teenage girl with black hair came into the room where the bag was.

"Hmm... I'm guessing that's Alex..." Atticus said to himself.

"But that looks like a girl, Atticus?" Patch spoke up, confused.

"Alex can be a girl's name too." Atticus told his pet before he used his magic on on the bag to take off an enchantment he sensed along with whatever was in the bag.

"Oh..." Patch pouted slightly, having not known that.

The black-haired girl then got the bag once she was ready for it. And where she saw something that seemed rather interesting. "What's that...?" she wondered.

"Alex, where are you?" an older boy's voice called out.

"No way! The family wand and Book of Forbidden Spells," Alex smirked. "My respect for Justin just spiked."

"See? Alex can be a girl's name." Atticus quietly told Patch.

"Hmm..." Patch never heard of such a thing.

Alex took a look at the book and took out the wand with a smirk. "I wonder what I could do with this...?" she then smirked smugly and eagerly, looking rather like a mischief maker. She then caught a sight at Atticus and Patch.

Patch looked wide-eyed and gave a small wave.

"What're you doing here?!" Alex rushed over and hid the magic stuff behind her back. "People aren't supposed to come back here! It's forbidden!"

"We let ourselves in." Atticus said.

"Oh, man, Dad's gonna kill us..." the older boy panicked.

"Justin, relax, I'm sure there's a good reason for this." Alex replied.

Justin was soon surprised as he saw that his sister had the family wand and Book of Forbidden Spells which he put in the bag that he had enchanted until Atticus removed the enchantment.

"Okay, before you say anything, I have a good reason to have these..." Alex replied.

"Alex, I don't trust you, not just because you're my sister, but because... Well... You're you." Justin sounded deadpan.

"But Dad said that we weren't supposed to have the family wand or Book of Forbidden Spells." Alex said.

"Ooh, someone went against his father's permission and stole two things that aren't his." Atticus smirked.

"I-I can explain..." Justin panicked, then looked to Atticus and Patch. "And you two aren't supposed to be here!"

"We're here with Drell who is most likely a friend of your father." Patch said.

"Talking dog!" Alex and Justin gasped.

Patch rolled his eyes. "Really? You guys are a family of wizards and a talking dog is weird?"

Alex and Justin blinked, not sure what else to say or do about that.

"It's okay, I'm a Wiccan, and I'm also the nephew of King Triton and Queen Athena." Atticus told the Russo siblings.

"That's cool." Alex smiled.

"I guess we can trust you then..." Justin said.

"Yeah," Atticus smiled. "And seriously, with your crazy lives, shouldn't you be used to a talking dog?"

"Well, we once knew a dog that was part dragon," Alex shrugged innocently. "And Justin once had a pimple that talked."

"Don't remind me of that!" Justin groaned in embarrassment and annoyance of his sister.

"I take it that you two don't really get along." Atticus said.

"Why should we?" Alex scoffed.

"I get along with my sisters just fine," Atticus folded his arms. "My big sister's always taken good care of me since I was a baby and my little sister looks up to me."

"At least you have sisters, I'm just stuck with brothers." Alex rolled her eyes.

"Are they that annoying?" Patch asked.

"Like you wouldn't believe." Alex pouted.

"Wanna bet?" Patch asked. "I used to live with 98 brothers and sisters."

"98 brothers and sisters?!" Alex gaped at him.

"Hey, you're one of those 101 Dalmatians I heard about on the radio one time," Justin smiled to Patch. "This is incredible!"

"And aren't you Atticus Fudo?" Alex asked the strong Wiccan.

"That would be me," Atticus smiled. "I'm also here with my girlfriend, best friend, another good friend, and her aunts."

"And where are they now?" Justin asked.

"In the lair where you three learn magic." Atticus said.
