The kids looked a little sad to go, but like many things, everything must eventually come to an end.
"Hey, this was your first adventure! You should be proud!" Lionel commented. "Besides, it's not like you won't see them again!"
"Really?" Zofia asked. "You think so, Pater?"
"I'm guessing that means 'Dad'?" LJ replied.
"Hey, I know so!" Lionel beamed.
"It does." Zofia told her brother before smiling to their father.
"Yeah, I figured." LJ shrugged.
They soon went back home as the adventure with Pinocchio was over. A certain someone had watched the whole thing on his crystal ball to judge LJ and Zofia on their first adventure together, even if they had their parents with them.
"I think we did pretty well," LJ smirked. "Especially for first timers."
"Adventure is a wonderful thing," Atticus smiled. "Not to mention that 'To live would be an awfully big adventure'. That's what Peter Pan taught us."
"I guess you're right, Unc," LJ replied. "Did we do good, Mr. Drell?"
Drell soon appeared from nowhere to come and see them. "You did rather well..." he said to them. "I'm actually a little impressed."
"You thought that mission was good? Just wait 'til our NEXT one!" LJ beamed.
"I'm a tough man to please." Drell replied.
"You said it, not me." Cherry mumbled.
"Well, we're doing this for the fun of it!" LJ replied. "Same as our folks! To be honest, it doesn't matter to me whether or not we please ya."
"I know..." Drell replied as he leaned against the wall with his other hand on his hip. "As long as you don't interfere with my time with Hilda."
"Yeah, sure, whatever floats your boat." Lionel rolled his eyes.
"Watch it..." Drell replied, wagging his finger at him. "We wouldn't want you banished into another dimension or anything."
"Alright, alright," Lionel sighed. "We won't interrupt your time with Hilda."
"Very good," Drell replied. "Also, very good on your adventure, kids. Perhaps I'll give you some more in the future... I'm still trying to figure out this new program you kids are into these days called 'E-Mail', I believe?"
"Um... Yeah." LJ replied.
"That was it..." Drell replied. "I'll 'E-Mail' you some details."
"Don't say it like that," Cherry complained. "It sounds weird when you say it."
"Mom is right, it does," LJ nodded.
"I gotta get going," Drell said as he began to leave. "I'm a very busy man."
"And Drell? Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Lionel smirked. "Seriously. Hilda's a great woman, and somebody like that only comes along once in a lifetime."
"Trust me, I'm going to hold onto her for a very long time," Drell smirked back. "And it's all thanks to Cherry."
"Stop talking about that." Cherry whined.
Lionel shrugged. "Well, we all screw up sometimes. The best we can do is learn from our blunders and make things right."
"See ya guys later." Drell said as he left.
The others said goodbye to him as he took his leave.
"Well... Our first adventure," LJ commented. "Can't wait for the next one."
"That's the spirit!" Zofia smiled to her brother's anticipation for another adventure in the near future.
"Yeah! There's a brand-new journey out there, so let's go find it! We're like Sonic Heroes!" LJ cheered, leaping into the air.
"Yeah!" The others then jumped up with him out of excitement.
"Ah, the adventures I've shared with Sonic the Hedgehog," Cherry said. "...Also those times with Sonia and Manic."
"King Sonic and Queen Sally's kids?" The kids replied out of confusion.
"No, no," Cherry replied. "Sonic's brother and sister, of course!"
"Oh, I remember them!" LJ beamed. "The purple and green ones!"
"Yes, them..." Cherry nodded before sighing. "As dark and dreary as I may be, I still feel tearful to think that Queen Aleena had to give up her children and separate them just to fulfill a prophecy."
"Yeah... I only hope they got to reunite." Lionel agreed.
"I'm sure they have eventually..." Atticus smiled. "Hmm... Maybe we should visit Mobius to see the Freedom Fighters with their kids."
The kids gasped about that possible visit, seeing the next generation of the Freedom Fighters.
"Maybe some other time." LJ replied.
"We can meet them, right?" Akito asked hopefully. "I wanna have a race with Sonic's son!"
"We'll see, okay?" Atticus smiled to his younger son with a chuckle.
"Maybe after we visit Eternia...or Etheria..." LJ replied.
"Eternia." Atticus clarified.
"There are two worlds," LJ responded. "One in the 2002 show, and the other in that new 2018 series."
"Hm..." Atticus hummed about that.
"Everything's a reboot, nothing's original anymore." Cherry sharply sighed.
"Yeah, whatever. Some are good, some are bad," LJ shrugged. "And this is one of the good ones!"
"If you say so, kiddo," Cherry shrugged to her son, crossing her arms to him. "Mommy still thinks that 2016 Powerpuff Girls is overhated. Still not a good show, but Mommy can't flat-out hate it like when she hated Teen Titans Go."
"Uh-huh! That show is the worst!" LJ nodded.
"We raised you well." Cherry approved.
"And I've never been more proud." Lionel nodded.
"You made us that way!" LJ and Zofia beamed to their parents.
"You deserve a better Christmas adventure than when those Toddler Titans invaded the North Pole and killed Santa's elves and drove Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer away." Cherry cooed.
"Yeah! Let's fix things! And save Christmas the right way! Those chumps ain't gonna stop US!" LJ growled.
"Very good..." Cherry replied. "The only annoyance during the holidays I wouldn't mind is Alvin Seville."
"Oh, Alvin..." Atticus and Mo sighed from their memories of putting up with the red-capped leader of the Chipmunks.
"Hey, maybe we could recruit them and the main kids of South Park!" LJ added.
"Erm... South Park...?" Atticus asked, a bit uneasily. "I don't know about that..."
"Alright, not them. But who?" LJ pondered.
"We'll see about you kids meeting the kids of South Park sometime, maybe in a musical adventure." Cherry whispered as a hint since Atticus didn't really like South Park.
"I know I say this a lot, but you rock, Mom." LJ grinned.
"Ah... I don't know about that." Cherry smirked playfully.
"Hey, it's true, and he should say it," Lionel smirked. "Next time, either Eternia or Etheria! By the power or for the Honor of Grayskull! Until then, YOU have the Power!"
Atticus and Mo soon shrugged as this story drew to a close, but until next time, this is...
The End
"Good night, folks!" LJ waved.
