Cherry and Atticus's Enchanted Christmas

chapter 3

The kids, their Pokemon, and their pets all continued to scream as they now appeared in front of a fireplace, only the room was different. It appeared to be very dark and dusty.

Felicity was latched onto Misdreavus as she looked all around. "What just happened?"

"I don't know and what happened to the room?" Misdreavus asked.

"I believe Madame Babette cleaned this up in the afternoon during lunch..." Felicity pouted as she seemed to be nearly fading away for some reason and looked even more pale than she already did before and looked as white as a sheet.

"This isn't normal..." Misty said. "What happened to the party?"

Felicity was then suddenly changed back to normal.

"Forget the party, where did everyone go?" Vincent asked.

"This can't be normal..." Ash said. "Are we even in the castle anymore?"

"I hear someone coming." Akito said, hearing footsteps.

"What do we do?" Emi asked.

"I'm gonna hide!" Brock moved out of the way to hide behind some dusty furniture.

Akito and the others soon followed only for Teddy to trip without anyone noticing.

"Where could he be?" one voice asked.

"Goodness knows!" another voice exclaimed. "We've searched every last corner."

"I'm beginning to think he's not in the castle at all." a third voice replied.

"Don't worry, we'll find him." A fourth voice said.

What appeared to be a living candelabra hopped up on the window sill and rubbed against the glass of the window and looked outside to see a beast strolling outside by the ice. "Viola, zhere he is!"

"Oh, wonderful!" the teapot cheered.

There were also a living clock, tea cup, a boy, a tomboy girl and a Dalmatian puppy. The kids, pets, and Pokemon looked out carefully and quietly as they saw the group of moving objects with a familiar looking girl with a dalmatian puppy.

"We mustn't waste time," the clock told the others. "We must find a way to get them together!"

"Let's go zhen!" the candle zipped past him, going right down the hallway. "Love will not wait!"

The Dalmatian was about to go with the candle holder when it suddenly smelled something new and yet also familiar. The others went off however to look for a certain someone in the castle. The puppy planted his nose to the floor and walked forward as he followed the scent which caught his attention.

"Dad?" Scruffy and Dot wondered.

The Dalmatian puppy continued to follow the scent until he found what he was sniffing.

Felicity sniffled and sneezed slightly.

"Gesundheit." the puppy said, revealing a youthful English accent to those who could understand him.

"Merci." Felicity whispered.

The puppy then looked curious. "Alright, who's back there?"

"What do we do now?" Vincent whispered.

"Maybe we should just reveal who we are?" Snow White suggested quietly.

The puppy looked slightly firm. Oh, yeah, Scruffy and Dot could now tell that this was their future father with that look in his eyes.

"Uh, we're not from here..." Jenny spoke up. "You see, we... Umm... We were brought here by accident... Somehow..."

"What she means is we, um, kind of somehow traveled back in time." Oliver said.
