The following days went like a blur to Huckleberry Hound as he worked his tail off to make sure the party was going to go off without a hitch. His fur was in a tangle, and Mr. Jinks felt a similar anxiety each and every moment the date of the party grew closer.
Every resident in Jellystone was given the  invitations for the upcoming Jellystone Founding Day, and it was the entire talk of the town. People gabbing around the park wondering what kind of activities will be planned, Magillas shop being flooded with customers all eagerly purchasing their outfit for the special occasion, and news reports raving about the upcoming day. Huckleberry was especially tuned in for the news segments about the party hoping the coverage would make people find the idea to be captivating enough, but more specifically, he was watching Snagglepuss's segments about the event.

Huckleberry's eyes were glued to the tv screen, watching each and every move snagglepuss made. Each time he laughed, made a joke, or said 'even' after a sentence. He was so entranced by the presence of snagglepuss, he didn't even hear Mr Jinks walking in the room with an assortment of papers in his hands.

"Uhhh mister mayor? Where did you say you wanted the...uh... ice sculpture again?" Mr Jinks asks curiously with a worried expression on his face. The party was less than a week away, and here huck was sitting on a couch just watching the day go by...on a tv screen!

"Hmm..? Oh..uh..yew can put it near the front" Huckleberry said nonchalantly with an unamused expression as his attention focused back on the tv. Mr Jinks raised an eyebrow curiously as he didn't suspect Huck to be so casual with the party planning, in fact, he didn't even hear him screaming his tail off in worry about the party, not even once. Mr Jinks slowly approached huckleberry hound with a concerned expression painting his face seeing as he wasn't acting like himself.
"Uhh...mister mayor..are..you feelin' alright..?" Mr Jinks worriedly asked huckleberry hound with a soft tone of voice. Huckleberry seems to be so caught up with snagglepuss's show he doesn't turn his head to even face Mr Jinks. This worried him of course, so he had to do something drastic to get the mayors attention, but what could he do..? He thought for a minute and then a few more minutes, but then he finally realized it!

He's not a good thinker

"Aw shucks, Mr mayor! You gotta snap outa it! The party's almost here and you're just watchin' the tv! I mean..snagglepuss hasn't even rsvp yet-" Mr Jinks sentence is shortly then cut off my huckleberry's screams of terror at this information.

"SNAGGLEPUSS HASN'T RSVP?!??" Huckleberry hound worriedly asked Mr Jinks with wide eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He quickly grabs Mr Jinks and frantically shakes him vigorously while panicking.

"OH MR JINKS! THIS IS TERRIBLE!! OH HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND!!! WHATEVER WILL WE DO?!??" Huckleberry worriedly screams at Mr Jinks as his shaking gets very violently fast, which causes Mr Jinks to hold his mouth closed with all of his might to not spew chucks on the mayor.

"Woah woah!! Relax!!! Why-errr..uhh you so worried about snagglepuss anyway?!? Everyone else rsvp!!" Mr Jinks said nervously to huckleberry as he's still shaken around like a Polaroid picture, but then all of a sudden it hit him...the fact huckleberry was watching snagglepuss's show on the tv, the fact that he wasn't paying attention to him, and the fact that he's so worried about snagglepuss not attending the party...this can only mean one thing!!

"UHHH-MISTER MAYOR!! I GOT IT!" Mr Jinks says proudly with a boastful voice. Huckleberry hound immediately stops shaking Mr Jinks as his tail wags in excitement at the thought of him finally having the answer to his plight. Huckleberry curiously looks at Mr Jinks with wide eyes filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

"What..what?!? What is it? What do yew got?!" Huckleberry hound exclaimed.

"I know why you're so worried about snagglepuss not showin' up! It's because............he owes you money!" Mr Jinks says proudly in a confident expression as he grins. Huckleberry hound immediately frowns in both confusion and disbelief. He slowly shakes his head while sighing deeply. Was he really that obvious to his sighs?

"N..no..Mister Jinks...yew see...I'm worried he won't show up...is.. because"
Huckleberry says softly as he pauses mid sentence. Was he actually going to confess? What would Mr Jinks say? Well, whatever he would say, huck had to trust his gut that nothing would go wrong, so he takes a deep breath and calmly replies to Mr Jinks.

"Well...it's because...I think I'm in love with snagglepuss..." Huckleberry Hound says nervously with a meek expression, yet deep down he had never felt so free.

It took 20 minutes to get Mr Jinks to stop screaming.

"C..calm down!! Don't scream yer head off!" Huckleberry hound says nervously while he continues comforting Mr Jinks's full on freak out session with this information. A few minutes pass before he finally came to his senses, and Mr. Jinks had never been more excited.

"You're in love?!! With snagglepuss?! That's amazing!!" He announced proudly with a bright smile painting his face. Mr Jinks was just so relieved to see Huckleberry Hound finally acting normal..or eh..normal as he can be, but then another worry started to flood his mind as he lets out a gasp.

"What! If you're in love with e'm..what will you do about him not rsvp-ing for the party?" Mr Jinks worriedly asks Huckleberry Hound while stroking his whiskers to get some ideas.
"I guess...I'll havta...show up to his studio and ask em'.." Huckleberry says worriedly while he takes a deep breath to calm his nerves, but then Mr Jinks stops him dead in his tracks.
"WAIT! Mister mayor!! You..can't just barge into snagglepuss's studio!! If you're in love, you gotta show off!..ya know...uh...make a lasting impression. You need..like uh...something to show em that you love him!" Mr Jinks says with a nervous laugh as Huckleberry looks on in confusion.
"Huh..? Whadya mean..?" Huckleberry Hound asks in confusion as his eyebrow raises. Mr. Jinks just smiles coyly while he gently takes Huckleberry's hand and leads him outside of the office in a newfound sense of dedication.
"Not to uhhh worry mayor! I know just the place! Trust me, these guys will have all the answers to your problems. They're gonna give you an item that'll knock snuggles tail off!" Mr Jinks says confidently while he has a proud smile on his face.

Huckleberry Hound found it quite strange that Mr Jinks seemed to lead him in a strange direction. If he's taking him to get some sort of item that'll help him confess, then why isn't he taking him to a store, a mall, or even somewhere that looks like a building, but instead Mr Jinks is leading him to...an alley?
