Eloise at the Wedding

chapter 8

Simon struggled and eventually woke up with bloodshot eyes.

"He have to help Atticus destroy Vanessa." Cherry said firmly.

"Who's Vanessa?" Felicity asked.

"Ursula and Morgana's insane and incredibly violent mother..." Forte replied. "She believed her actual husband was a goody two shoes reject, so she murdered him and kept looking for darkened minds as twisted as hers to make into a suitable mate and father for her daughters."

"Oh, my..." Felicity frowned.

"Oh, yes..." Forte replied stoically.

"It seems like Simon wants to help his Uncle Atticus in destroying her..." Cherry remarked as Simon sucked his thumb and actually looked quite miserable from his nightmare.

"How is he going to help?" Felicity asked.

Simon hopped down from his mother's arms and crawled over to his closet and pulled it open. He crawled through the door and came out with papers in his mouth with a pencil, he then put the paper down and seemed to had been drawing up a battle plan.

"Ooh, a battle plan." Felicity smiled.

Cherry knelt by her younger son as he sketched up a battle plan to take down Vanessa to save Darla and Urchin's wedding plans.

"Ooh." Felicity smiled, looking over the battle plan.

"He takes after you," Cherry and Forte said to each other, then glared to each other with their hands on their hips in unison as well. "Me? No way!"

"Oh, brother." Felicity sighed.

Simon looked up.

"Not you!" Felicity face-palmed.

Simon shrugged before continuing his battle plan.

"Why was I not an only child?" Felicity murmured.

"Believe me, I didn't want it either..." Cherry grumbled as she folded her arms slightly.

Atticus looked all around as he traveled the usual spot for summer vacations with the family when he was younger and before he had a family of his own as he looked for the golden palace of Atlantica. "Ah, there it is..." he then said once he saw his uncle's home under the sea.

Unknown to him, his children were following him. Atticus kept searching along as he went to the ocean floor to warn his Uncle Triton all about Vanessa. Akito, Vincent, and Estelle dived underwater to follow their father while leaving behind their Pokemon. Of course gaining their tail fins as they followed after him.

Urchin was asleep in his room and on his nightstand was a heart-shaped framed photograph of Darla. Atticus swam by the window and was going to the throne room.

"Huh?" Urchin woke up and looked around, then shrugged and went back to sleep.

"Oh, I hope he understands and doesn't get mad..." Atticus said to himself as he was on his way to find his uncle king.

And where he saw his uncle at his throne. He took a deep breath and swam over to Triton who hadn't changed that much and still looked old with a hint of wisdom deep within himself.

"Who goes there?" Triton asked as he heard someone approaching him.

Atticus bowed. "It's me, Uncle Triton." he greeted respectively.

"Atticus... What a surprise..." Triton replied.

"Um, Uncle Triton, we have a big problem." Atticus said.

Triton changed his face to worried a brief moment. "What is it?"

"It's about the wedding, you see, um, it's going to have to be postponed until after Vanessa is defeated." Atticus said.
