Back at the palace, Fifi was getting pampered and Rumpelstiltskin came over to his giant pet and cuddled her by the head.

"Daddy thinks you look real nice, Fifi"

He carressed her a bit, as she honked.

"Honk" then a witch named Griselda came running in.

"Mr. Stiltskin! He's here"

Rumpelstiltskin sat back on his throne with a couple other witches at his side and Thomas watching and standing.

"Nice"

The bounty hunter then came in through the doors, playing a flute, and he was approaching the throne, but not using his arms and legs to do so.

Instead, he used a magic flute to make a small pack of mice carrying him all the way on their backs.

Once the bounty hunter was revealed in front of the dictator and witches, the mice scampered off. He was in fact the Pied Piper.

"Pied Piper. How was your commute?"

Instead of speaking, the piper communicated by playing a few notes.

"Good"

"this! This is the bounty hunter that will catch the bad guys" Thomas wasn't impressed

"Yeah, You call this guy a bounty hunter? What's he gonna do, flute those criminals a lullaby?"

She and the other three witches chortled, while Rumpelstiltskin gave a nod to the piper, who nodded back, and then he turned the setting on the end of his flute from mouse to duck to witch.

He then started playing a new song on the flute while beatboxing, and to the surprise of the witches, Griselda's arms began moving by themselves.

Then she yelped as she started involuntarily breakdancing to the song, which is "Sure Shot" by the Beastie Boys, and the other two witches involuntarily got up and started dancing against their will as well, yelling in alarm.

"OK, got it! Make it stop!"

Rumpelstiltskin just laughed at this, as Thomas was now impressed, enjoying it. The dancing and song lasted for a bit, before the dictator got up, waving his arms.

"All right, that's enough"

With that, the witches' dancing halted, ending with involuntary dancer poses as the three panted, and the piper ended his tune. Rumpelstiltskin gave an evil look.

"Looks like it's time to pay the piper" The witches still stood where they were.

"Griselda, seriously, it's time to pay the piper. Now go get my checkbook!"

The two witches left and Griselda got up to get the checkbook, but the impatient Rumpelstiltskin kicked her rear.

"Go! Move! Get out! Things are getting real sloppy around here!"

The piper then switched the setting from witch to unicorn to his commissioned setting: thieves.

"It you are going to find, I think I have something that can help" Thomas says.

Five minutes later in his office, bodyguard misty was summoned and she came through his door.

"You wanted to see me sir" she says.

"Yes, I have a mission for you, I want you to go find princess, use this" he throws her a tracking device, "I placed a tracking chip on princess, just in case something happens, find her, bring her back and bring the bad guy in"

"I won't let you down sir" she salutes and before she heads out...

"Oh and one more thing misty, I want you to take someone with you, you know...to help you, and be here before the party" Thomas reminded him.
