Patch came to Cherry and Atticus. "Can one of you take me to the video store?"
"Sure, buddy, why?" Atticus replied.
"I wanna visit Robyn, Tom, and Jerry," Patch said. "We're gonna watch a movie. You're welcome to join us if you'd like."
"Okay." Atticus smiled.
Cherry shrugged. "It won't hurt."
Patch turned into his human form as they entered the video store. They went into the classic movies section to see different movies from all sorts of decades.
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off..." Cherry looked at one movie. "This came out when my mom was in high school."
Patch began to look through the cartoon movie section.
"How about American Graffiti?" Atticus asked.
"That movie came out when my DAD was in high school." Cherry replied.
"Hmm..." Patch hummed as he looked at the various different choices for kids and young adults at heart, he then chuckled once he saw Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck on certain covers. "Ah, Looney Tunes..." He soon saw a cartoon movie version of the Wizard of Oz. "Hmm..."
Cherry and Atticus kept looking until Patch came behind them.
"Hey, guys, what's this?" Patch asked.
Cherry took the DVD and gasped. "THE WIZARD OF OZ!"
"You know it?" Patch asked.
"Cherry knows more about it than anybody." Atticus chuckled.
"Then let's get it." Patch smiled.
"YES!" Cherry cheered.
And so, the three of them rented the movie. Patch seemed excited about this and this also would mean that Cherry would stay for the movie since she seemed to be the most excited between her and the boys since this was the Wizard of Oz.
"Excellent choice." The owner said.
The three nodded and left the video store to get to the Starling household.
"I wonder if Robyn will like this movie since her uncle's a wizard." Patch hoped.
"I'm sure she will." Atticus said.
"So, Cherry, you like the Wizard of Oz?" Patch asked.
"I love it..." Cherry said.
"I know." Atticus said.
"Really now?" Patch asked.
"She was Dorothy on her first Halloween." Atticus said.
"Wow." Patch smiled.
A little while later, they ended up at the Starling house.
Robyn answered and greeted them at the door. "Hey, guys, Tom and Jerry are making popcorn."
"Great." Patch smiled.
The guests then came in.
"I wonder what movie Patch picked for us?" Tom said.
"I hope it's Cats and Dogs." Jerry smirked since cats were the bad guys in that movie.
"Hey!" Tom glared.
Jerry laughed.
Tom smirked, then grabbed Jerry and put him in the popcorn bag and threw it into the microwave to heat it up with Jerry and soon the mouse hopped with the popping kernels. Tom laughed at that.
"Tom!" a female voice called.
Tom looked over to see the Martian female turned into a mouse who was now living with the family as Jerry's girlfriend and she looked very unhappy with the cat. "Oh, hey, Peep, what's up?"
"Let my boyfriend out of there." Peep said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Tom shrugged innocently.
Peep narrowed her eyes and they seemed to become flames out of blood boiled rage. Tom's eyes widened, he then opened the microwave door and let Jerry out as he was nearly burnt from being inside the microwave.
"Oh, Jerry..." Peep hugged her boyfriend. "Are you all right?"
"A bit burnt, but nothing broken." Jerry said.
Peep smiled to him.
Patch came into the kitchen and sniffed the air. "Why do I smell burnt, buttered mouse?"
Jerry and Peep firmly pointed to Tom in blame.
"Tom." Patch sighed.
Tom smiled sheepishly.
"What am I going to do with you?" Patch shook his head at the cat.
"So, what is this 'popped corn'?" Peep then asked. "Tom and Jerry said we need it for that movie we're gonna watch together."
"It's food you eat during a movie." Patch said.
"It's really good, you'd like it." Jerry insisted.
"Hmm..." Peep hummed in thought about trying popcorn. "So, what movie are we watching?"
"It's called the Wizard of Oz." Patch smiled.
"Cool." Peep smiled. She then looked thoughtful, wondering what that was.
A while later, there were dark storm clouds as it gently thundered outside as Robyn was getting comfortable with the others so they could watch the movie and enjoy their lazy movie day together.
"It sure is stormy out there." Mo said.
Patch looked tense, but soon settled down. "I sure hope it blows over..."
"Put the movie in already!" Cherry was the most anxious to watch the Wizard of Oz.
"Okay, relax, will ya?!" Atticus laughed as he took out the DVD so they could all watch it, little did they know that this would be another adventure in the making.
"And the movie shall begin." Mo said.
Atticus then turned up the volume so it would feel like they were in the movie theater as the lights were turned off and they had a large bowl of popcorn enough for them all to share.
"This is so exciting." Peep smiled.
Jerry smiled to her as they sat together and he even put his tiny arm around her after yawning, putting a classical romantic boyfriend move at the theater. Peep blushed to that and smiled to him. The movie's theme played until it sounded like it was breaking and then the screen just faded into totally black which left them in the pitch darkness.
"Aw, come on!" Tom complained.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Patch said.
"You're not the only one." Robyn agreed with the dalmatian puppy.
Cherry took out her phone and put on the flashlight app and looked to see all of them and somehow, they were outside, but it was not raining and the sky seemed to clear up and they seemed to end up on a farmland. "Where are we? I have a feeling we're not at Robyn's house anymore."
"I think we're on another adventure." Atticus said.
"Oh, great..." Tom groaned.
Cherry put her phone away and she then looked down to see she was suddenly in a jumper with boots. "Hey, what happened to my jacket?!"
Mo looked at herself and saw she was in coveralls and had boots herself and Atticus had overalls.
"I guess we're country folk now." Atticus said, attempting a Southern drawl.
"How did we even get in these clothes?" Mo asked.
"I don't wanna know..." Robyn shuddered as she was in a dress.
Tom, Jerry, and Patch did not change though since they didn't even wear clothes to begin with, but Peep's space dress became a farm dress.
There was then unfamiliar barking heard as a young teenage girl in a blue dress with brown double ponytails was rushing over with a book tied with a belt.
"No way, that can't be." Mo said.
"Dorothy Gale?" Cherry sounded entranced.
"But how?" Atticus asked.
"Guys, I think we're in the movie." Patch said.
"But how is that possible?" Robyn asked.
"Um, this has happened to is before, but we don't know." Cherry admitted.
"Before?" The others asked.
"Let's follow her." Jerry said.
The girl and her scruffy black dog appeared to be running. The dog then felt they were being followed, then stopped and growled to the strangers before barking angrily to them while standing protectively by Dorothy.
"Toto, what is it?" Dorothy asked her dog.
"It's okay, boy, we don't mean any trouble." Mo said.
Toto growled.
Patch walked over to the tiny black dog. "Hey, hey, it's okay, we won't hurt you or your mistress, I promise you."
"You sure?" Toto growled before he sniffed. "Huh? That's weird; I could have sworn I smelled Tom and Jerry's scents."
'There are another Tom and Jerry here?' Patch thought to himself.
"Oh, um, hello," Dorothy walked over to the human strangers. "I don't think I've seen anyone else around here except Miss Gulch."
"Why don't you put your book in your backpack?" Robyn asked.
Dorothy looked confused. "What's a backpack?"
"It's something you put your supplies in." Mo said.
"That sounds fancy, are you from the city?" Dorothy replied.
Robyn and Mo glanced at Dorothy like she was the strange one, but then they realized and remembered. The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939, this was before backpacks were invented which was why Dorothy had her school book tied with a belt.
"I'm not sure if Auntie Em or Uncle Henry would let you in, but I'm sure the guys wouldn't mind extra help on the farm." Dorothy then said to her possible new friends.
"We might be city kids, but we're not afraid to do some hard work." Atticus said.
"Easy for you to say..." Cherry muttered.
"Okay, just be careful, Auntie Em doesn't like strangers too much." Dorothy said as she led them to the barnyard where she lived with her aunt and uncle.
Tom, Jerry, and Patch soon followed. Toto kept an eye on Patch, but he would soon trust him enough as he was a fellow canine.
"We never did get your name." Mo said, not wanting to sound crazy.
"I'm Dorothy," the brown-haired girl smiled. "Dorothy Gale. And who are you all?"
The others then gave their names so they could all be properly acquainted. Cherry was very ecstatic to meet Dorothy.
"Robyn, your cat and mouse look just like the cat and mouse we have on the farm." Dorothy said.
"Well, that sure is going to be confusing..." Atticus said to himself.
Tom and Jerry wondered how that could be possible.
"Perhaps they are your ancestors." Peep suggested to the cat and mouse as she and Jerry sat on the cat's head.
"Yeah, maybe." Tom and Jerry said.
Dorothy took the others to her family farm as her aunt and uncle looked rather busy with their farmhands. Tom and Jerry looked around for their possible doppelgängers, curious of who they could be and whether this was a coincidence or not, and where they could see a cat that looked like Tom sleeping while a mouse that looked like Jerry was at an old calculator. They seemed slightly lighter in fur tone than the original ones were.
"Well, I'll be..." Jerry looked to Tom and Peep.
Tom picked them both up in his paws and walked over to meet them. "This is gonna be really weird, I don't remember living on a farm, do you, Jerry?"
"Not really." Jerry shrugged.
"They must be your ancestors then." Peep said.
"Ancestors?" Tom asked.
"Oh, you know, those who lived before us in our family." Jerry explained.
"How're we gonna tell who's who now?" Tom then asked. "I mean, the resemblance is uncanny... That cat looks just like my dad."
"And that mouse looks just like my mom, except a boy." Jerry agreed.
Patch soon used his magic and where Tom and Jerry were now wearing collars just their size.
"Our own collars?" Tom and Jerry asked.
"Surprised Robyn never gave you guys any." Patch smiled to them.
"Well, at least this will help us figure out which is which." Jerry said.
"Hopefully this doesn't give me a headache..." Jerry held his head.
