Tenko and Eli are in a small room. Just the two of them. And they are focused on one thing.
Eli: So, we agree that we need to get Izuku and Velvet together, right?
Tenko: Totally. And for three reasons.
Eli: Wait, three?
Tenko: Yes. #1: We promised Redhook that we would get those two together.
Eli: Yeah. Redhook has done a lot for us. He gave me a new blaster and made two for you and Izuku. We definitely owe him one.
Tenko: Exactly. Now, reason #2: My cousin deserves to have a girlfriend. I mean, he has a hard time just talking to a beautiful girl. And he needs some more confidence with women.
Eli: Totally agree with you on that. Although, he does seem a lot less timid than back when we were little.
Tenko: Yeah. And the third and probably most important reason: I've seen Eri get attached to Velvet. And Velvet was very friendly towards Eri. I'm sure she would love for Velvet to be her mother.
Eli: I really want to see those three just hug it out. Even if we die from it.
Tenko: That's the best possible way to die though.
Eli: Agreed.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Eli: who is it? Tenko and I are in a meeting.
The door opened and in came Eri.
Eri: Cousin Tenko? Uncle Eli? I need your help.
Eli: Sure. I don't see why- wait...UNCLE ELI?!
Tenko: My guess is that because you're Izuku's friend, Eri now thinks of you as an uncle.
Eri: Do you not like it?
Eli: It's not that. I was just a little shocked. That's all. I'd love to be your uncle.
Eri: YAY!!!
Eli: So, what is it you want help with?
Eri: I want Ms. Bunny to be my mommy.
Tenko: ...Huh...great minds think alike. That's actually what this meeting is about.
Eri: Really?
Tenko: Yeah. And it's pretty clear that those two like each other. The only problem is that they are too shy to admit it.
Eli: So...how do we get them together?
Tenko: Lock them in a closet?
Eli: I doubt that will work.
Eri: Set them up on a date?
Tenko: To where? I mean, I know nothing about Slugterra.
Eli: The only restaurant I know of is Ricochet Pizza. And that's more of a restaurant for people to see cool things. Not for romance.
Eri: Aw. We'll never get them together.
Eri starts to cry.
Tenko: Oh no. No. No. Please don't cry. We'll figure something out.
And then...
Eli: I got it!
Tenko: What is it?
Eli: We send those two on a mission to retrieve something. Just the two of them.
Tenko: Like what?
Eli: maybe some sort of special slug. Or maybe we can just send them on a fake mission and-
Tenko: OH HELL NO! IF IZUKU FINDS OUT WE SENT HIM ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE, AND TRUST ME, HE WILL, HE WILL GET ANGRY! AND I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH AN ANGRY IZUKU!
Eli: Yikes! Okay, Okay. Let's go with...a slug hunting competition!
Eri: What's that?
Eli: Think of it as a scavenger hunt. But instead of finding random items, we find slugs. We will split each other up into teams of two. Me and Tenko, you and Trixie, Kord and Pronto, and of course, Izuku and Velvet. The two will be hanging out with each other all day. This will boost their confidence with each other and if we play our cards right, get them together. What do you say, guys?
Tenko: Sounds good. Let's put this plan into action.
Eri: Yay! Operation: get me a mommy, is a go!
