Atticus Meets the Cowboys of Moo Mesa

chapter 7

The next day soon came and where the new mayor of Cow Town was announced.

"I'm a little nervous..." Montana said to himself as he was getting dressed to visit the public today, now as the mayor. "Can I really become a mayor?"

"You ready?" Atticus asked.

"I think so..." Montana said. "Gee, I never thought I'd become mayor of Cow Town."

"I know that you'll be a great mayor." Atticus smiled.

"Aw, thanks, Atticus, that's mighty kind of ya," Montana smiled back. "How do I look?"

"Great," Atticus smiled once he finished getting ready. He soon realized the reason why Drell really sent him to Moo Mesa. "Clever warlock." Atticus smirked quietly.

"You say somethin'?" Montana asked him.

"I think I figured out the reason why Drell sent me here and not just to find someone that could match my strength or stronger," Atticus said. "The reason why was specifically this."

"Sounds like a smart fella." Montana commented.

"Yeah, Drell has his ways of knowing about people's destinies." Atticus said.

Miss Lily soon came out in a new dress and smelled even sweeter.

"Ooh, is that new perfume?" Atticus asked.

"Why, yes, it is," Miss Lily smiled. "The other day when Montana said I smelled nice, I decided to wear a special perfume I made that was mixed in with some soap that I put in Cody's bath that got into my hair when I was helping him scrub his back."

"Cool." Atticus smiled back.

"Oh, ya heard that?" Montana blushed.

"I sure did~" Miss Lily smiled, looking into his eyes before kissing his cheek. "Thank ya."

And where this caused him to blush. Atticus smiled, though it was a half smile and half smirk.

"Uh, well, I better gout out there..." Montana decided.

"Go ahead, ya'll do great out there, I know you will." Miss Lily soothed.

Montana smiled before going out. Miss Lily smiled to him. Montana soon came out onto the podium which made everyone cheer happily for him as he was their new mayor. Once he was at the podium, he cleared his throat to speak. The crowd then settled down.

"Well, uh, I don't know what to say, but thank y'all..." Montana smiled to the crowd. "This really means a lot to me, especially with keeping you all safe and happy in our special town."

And where this caused everyone to cheer.

"I'll do my best to keep you in safe hands like I have with my good friends, Dakota Dude and Cowlarado Kid, and I wanna thank y'all for being so supportive and help makin' this possible." Montana smiled to them.

This caused Dakota and Cowlorado to smile back.

"Just... Just thank y'all so much... And thank you to Atticus for helping making this possible." Montana smiled.

"Aw..." Atticus smiled to himself.

Later on, they all celebrated Montana's election and where the door Atticus came through appeared.

"Oh... I guess it's time for me to go..." Atticus frowned.

"Don't ya wanna stay for lunch?" A tiny voice asked before Atticus looked over and looked down to see Carly giving a big pout with big eyes like a sad and cute puppy.
