The man announced the contest rules about who would be the winner of timber. And where Atticus, Patch, and Cherry were going to make sure that Joe wouldn't be able to use any tree stumps underneath his pile.
"Okay, those should hold." Patch said as he checked with them.
"They definitely will." Atticus nodded.
Cherry tested out the stumps and gave a thumb's up.
"Alright, now everything is ready." Atticus said.
"We're all set, now just wait for Paul and Joe." Patch agreed.
And where both Paul and Joe arrived, ready to compete. Everyone then got out of the way so the men could compete as it was man vs machine now. The one with the most stacked logs would win.
"All right, men, a fair fight." Atticus said before winking to Paul.
Paul nodded back to him.
"Ready... Set... GO!" Atticus told the two men.
Paul began to chop at the wood while Joe used his electric saw. This went on for a while until the time was out. Cherry bobbed her head to some music in her head to pass the time for herself while Atticus and Patch were on the edge of their seats. After all of the logs were collected, it was time to count how high each was.
The judge climbed up the first log pile to count up how many logs were in the pile. "For Paul, 240 feet!" he then announced.
Everyone cheered. Paul smiled and waved his hat to everybody as he was proud of himself. Patch bit his claws as he was nervous.
"For Joe... 239 feet!" The man announced to everyone.
This caused Joe to go jaw-dropped as he had lost. Patch then smirked calmly up to Joe.
"How could I lose?!" Joe yelped. He soon left the area and where after cutting down some more trees Paul and Babe were now on their way to where the Nothern Lights would be created.
"Pretty..." Cherry's eyes gleamed at the sight.
Paul and Babe were soon roughhousing in the north. Atticus and Patch smiled at the bond.
And so, the three were suddenly sent back to the present.
"We're home!" Cherry and Atticus cheered.
"And looks like we helped change the future." Patch smiled.
"For the better." Atticus agreed.
"I just hope not too much..." Cherry said. "You know what my Uncle Emmett said."
"Well, looks like everything is still here." Patch said as he still saw everything and everyone they knew still there and where they still remembered them.
They soon felt the ground shake with the sound of foot steps.
"DINOSAURS!" Cherry cried out.
They soon saw that it wasn't a dinosaur but...Paul.
"Paul!" Atticus and Patch smiled.
"Hey there, guys." Paul smiled down, wearing a scout leader uniform.
"Oh, sir!" Atticus did a boy scout salute.
"You're a scout leader too, remember? We're helping the troops out." Paul smiled.
"Oh... Yeah..." Atticus said like he always knew that and chuckled.
"Get ready for the ridiculous short shorts." Cherry teased Atticus about boy scout uniforms.
"Cherry, don't you need to be somewhere?" Patch asked.
Cherry rolled her eyes and walked off. "See ya guys later."
"Girls..." Atticus and Patch sighed.
Junior and the rest of the boy scouts soon came and where they were surprised in a good way when they saw Paul.
"Aw, there's the little scout himself." Atticus smiled to his girlfriend's little brother.
"Jim Brown Jr reporting for duty!" Junior gave a scout's honor salute.
Atticus saluted back to him. Junior giggled as he was ready to begin his journey as a boy scout. His boy scout uniform was a bit tight but only because of the muscles that he had grown from the exercise he had been doing now thanks to the strength Atticus gave him.
"Feel snug?" Atticus asked.
Junior nodded. Junior's shirt soon burst as his muscles were too big for it. He then smiled nervously as that happened.
"It happens to the best of us." Atticus chuckled down to him. He soon brought out a new one just Junior's size and his muscles size.
Junior hugged the uniform and soon put it on as it was a much better fit.
"Ready to start, kids?" Paul asked Junior and the other boy scouts from the troop.
"Sir, yes, sir!" Junior and his troop replied.
"Alright then, let's get started." Atticus said.
The End
