"Uhhh mayor, not to be rude, but uh- isn't that a good thing? I mean- uh you ran in here like you're gonna tell me something terrible"! Mr Jinks said, letting go of the mayors hand to make wavy hand gestures to indicate how much he's feeling.

Huckleberry hound looked astounded by Mr Jink's words, but nodded politely at his concerns and cleared his throat to speak his peace.

"Oh but Mr Jinks it is terrible, the anniversary of Jellystone is such a momentous occasion, and we all forgot that it was today, even me"! Huck said as he lowered his head in shame.
"I just can't believe I forgot about it today, oh I've been so worked up about everythi'n that I never got to prepare anythi'n to celebrate"!
Huckleberry looked ashamed as if he let down everyone in the town. The one big day finally came and the mayor didn't even know, but here he was wallowing in his own pity that made him feel hopeless that the day has gone to waste.

Usually when huckleberry gets in his own funks Mr Jinks always has a way to make it better or help in someway, but this time he had his work cut out for himself. Jinks couldn't understand why the mayor was so upset about a simple day! After all he does everything else for the town, so why should one little day ruin his entire mood?

"Oh Mr Jinks, I just DONT know what to do, I should've done a big party to celebrate... but instead I just feel like a party pooper" huckleberry sighed in disappointment. Ears dropped down in sadness as he whimpered.

Mr Jinks sympathetically went to comfort the mayor with light pats on the back, when a big metaphorical lightbulb went off in his head.

"Uhhh wait! Mr-uh mayor, say that again"? Jinks asked. Huckleberry hound turned to look at him and did as he asked. "Oh Mr Jinks-" huckleberry started to repeat before he got cut off.

"No no! Later! After that" jinks said.
"I feel like a party pooper"? Huckleberry questioned, when Jink's eyes light up in excitement as he knew exactly what to do.

"YEAH!! Uh- EXACTLY!! We can host a big party for the town! To celebrate Jellystone's founding"! Mr Jinks comprised to huckleberry hound, and just like that he knew that the mayor was all in when he saw his tail wagging with happiness.

Mr Jinks began to clear up huckleberry's schedule in order to plan the party, while huckleberry went on to make invitations for all of the people in town. One invite in particular was for a particular pink lion, given a special heart sticker on it.

The party planning was set in motion as huckleberry hound and Mr Jinks went to rent out the biggest spot in tone to host the anniversary. The room was absolutely beautiful and definitely spacious enough for all the townsfolk.

"So I believe the DJ booth will go over there, and the balloons can go on each side of the stage". Huckleberry hound said to himself while Mr Jinks took down notes, nodding along to what the mayor was saying.
"Ermm this looks like uh- a great setup Huck but-" Mr jinks said, but trailed off in anxiety.

"But what"? Huckleberry hound questioned, his left ear raised with curiosity.
"Well I-I'm not sure how you want the dress code to be for the occasion.. do you-uh...want the party to be casual or fancy? Somthi'n like that" Jinks finished.

Mr Jinks was anxious to ask since he knew the mayor wasn't one to go all out on dressing up or his physical appearance. He was a very relaxed person who didn't care for anything flashy, and more importantly liked to focus on caring for the townspeople rather than keeping an image like dressing all fancy and flaunting himself. That wasn't Huck, and that very fact made Mr Jinks nervous, as he thought his suggestion made it seem that he wanted the mayor to become more "proper" or "elegant" or else he saw huckleberry as just a country bumpkin with no class.

What Mr Jinks momentarily forgot however, was that huckleberry hound was as calm as a summer breeze, and never saw any malice in anyone especially his assistant Mr Jinks, so with a warm smile, he turned to Jinks and answered the question.

"Well.. this IS a very important occasion for jellystone...and it is a big party....hmmmm" Huck thought for a moment, and then made up his mind.
"I think it's time we get a lil style in this shindig"! Huckleberry hound exclaimed as Mr Jinks gave a confident smile.

"Terrific mayor! I'll get on it"! Jinks said as he went over to buy some clothes, when he immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Wait. Do we know anything about fashion"? Mr Jinks questioned.
Huckleberry hound also stopped in his tracks, now realizing that the same bow tie and straw hat probably wasn't fancy attire.
"Nope, I'm afraid not" Huck calmly said as he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Well there's only one person in this town who knows about fashion! who can make any outfit lickity split! Who knows more about colors and fabrics than anyone else"! Huckleberry proclaimed as he became excited.

"We need Magilla Gorilla"!

Mr Jinks and Huckleberry Hound rushed to get fashion help when a tiny note was posted on the front door of magillas store by Jabber Jaw.

She noticed the mayor and jinks coming up to the door when she stopped them in their tracks.
"Woah there guys! Magillas is closed for the week". The two looked bewildered as the store was never closed for this long before, so huckleberry asked jabber jaw, "why? Did somethi'n happen"?

Jabber looked nervous about his inquiry, looking off to the side as she spoke.
"Let's just say, loopy wasn't kiddin when she suggested that we burn the store". Jabber nervously laughed.

Loopy came out behind Jabber to speak
"Zeh demons finally won".

Jinks and huckleberry both exchanged nervous looks before heading back to work on the party.

"I-I don't know what to say... should we call the police"? Mr Jinks panicked as Huck once again lowered his head in sadness.
"I can't believe the store is closed! Now where can we get some valuable fashion advice"? And just like that, the mayors attention was grabbed by bright flashing lights omitting from a familiar talk show hosts studio.

"Uh mayor? Hello.."? Jinks tried to ground Huck back to reality, but nothing could stop him from walking up to the doors and knocking curiously to find out what wonders lied inside.

And oh boy...what a wonder it was.
