"Little Buddy..?" Neo Agent 3 looked around her apartment, desperately trying trying to find her pet smallfrye. When she can't find him, she checks splatsville, Inkopolis, and even the square. She checks the shops, the battle fields, even salmon run. The thought of what could have happened to him if he went in there made a shiver go down 3's spine. She ignores that shiver and goes down to Alterna to see the if the other agents are down there.

"Little Buddy is missing!" 3 cries out as soon as she gets to the camp, accidentally waking up Captain, who was the only person there today. The captain gets up annoyed and starts looking around for Little Buddy with Agent 3. They check all the areas, and even at the bottom of the rocket launchpad before throwing the towel in and going back to take a nap. But 3 continues checking all the kettles, all around the rocket's area, even inside the Captain's hat while they were napping, only to have to dodge a quick punch. 3 sighs before giving up and sitting down on the fake snow.

After afew minutes, 3 just decides to go home. She's looked everywhere, only to find nothing. "Wait." Captain stops 3. They didn't talk very often, so the Agent made sure to listen. "So.. you checked everywhere, right?" "I think.." 3 starts listing all the places she checked. The captain stopped her after realizing 3 missed something. "Did you check The Crater?" 3's eyes widen at Captain's response. "No.. I didn't think he'd go that far-" Captain grabs a crate and opens it. Inside are a whole bunch of snack wrappers from stuff Callie brought for the camp. "What do you want me to refill our snacks, too?" Captain rolls her eyes and throws a wrapper at 3's head. "Dear god.. when did you FEED him last?? I woke up to this!" "Ohhhh-..." 3 thinks for a few seconds. "...last week..." Captain sighs and face palms. "Ok, ok. I'll go look in the crater," 3 says, before running off.

In the crater, Agent 3 looks down the odd staircase type thing she climbed down a year ago, and sighs. She then looked over the railing and sees the Octobot-King at the bottom of the crater, and decided to see if Octavio could help. 3 super jumps to the bottom of the crater behind a boulder to make sure she isn't disturbing him. She peaks out from the boulder to see.. "Little Buddy..?" Little Buddy was eating a bag of junk, but upon hearing 3's voice, he jumps out and onto her shoulder, bouncing up and down happily. Octavio appears from the other side of the Octobot-King, holding a trash bag. "Yo! If you're gonna leave me to babysit your smallfry at least warn me first. This thing ate all that I got!" 3 itches the back of her head. "Sorrryy.. I forgot to feed him and I guess he went to anywhere he could for food." "Its cool, just don't expect me to be so generous next time, ya hear?" "Okay, okay." 3 replies, motioning Little Buddy into her bag. "And you're paying me back for all that food I lost to your smallfry, aight?" Octavio tightens his grip on his crossed arms. "Whatever, how much are you gonna need?" She grabs out a ziplock bag of food and drink tickets from her backpack. Octavio looks down at the ziplock and laughs. "GYAHAHAHAha! You think that's enough for all THIS?" There wasn't much left in 3's possession due to the concerning amount of turf wars and ranked she does on a daily basis and the lack of shell-out grabs she participates in. 3 looks down like an embarrassed child. "Look, do you want them or not?" Octavio shrugs. "Not like I use 'em alot anyway, just for the little beast." Agent 3 looks up again. "So I don't have to pay you back?" "GYA HA! Not letting ya go that easily! You'll be helping me out until I consider it fair." "Oh-" 3 sighs again. "Fine, what do you want me to do?" Octavio thinks for a minute before shoving the trash bag into 3's hand. "Just clean up the rest of this for now," he says, pointing to the ground. Little Buddy is as good as cleaning a mess as he is making one, and can eat food bigger then a bear if he's that hungry. The trash looked like a pile of leaves that a child jumped in. A big pile. 3 questions her life before she starts picking up trash.

As Agent 3 cleaned up trash, she observed the environment. The crater looked alot less... hairy to say the least. "Did you clean this place up? I noticed alot less fuzz around here." "You just now noticed? Course I cleaned it up! Been workin on this for months!" He pointed to the ground. "How did ya think we're standing on this?" 3 looks down and instinctively starts aggressively jumping. Octavio looks at them with slight concern for just a second. "See? No need to worry about falling into the unkown again, jeez." 3 stops and goes back to picking up trash. "Yknow.. I think back to the crater alot." DJ Octavio looks at 3, confused. "Oh? Why's that?" "I don't know, I just do I guess.." 3 goes quiet for a minute. She never told anyone about her constant memories of the crater or the rocket, only mentions it occasionally. "Whatever, it's nothing important." 3 yawns and looks at the progress of her trash pickup. She got the entire bag filled.. and only halfway through the trash. "Ughhh, why did you feed him so much?" She falls over in exhausted defeat. "I had to! That thing started attacking me if I stopped!" 3 immediately leans up in surprise upon hearing this. "Wha- really?!?!" She walks up to Octavio, who took his helmet off for a minute so 3 could get a clearer view. There was a small spot of yellow on the side of his head, left by a certain hungry salmonid. "Oh my god..." She poses as she looks at her reflection. "...I didn't know I was looking this good today!" Octavio immediately gets defensive. "SHUT UP YOU PUNEY LITTLE ASSHOLE!" He puts his hat back on and backs away from 3. "Sorry! Couldn't resist myself.. hehehehe." Octavio huffs angrily, and tries to calm down.

After a few minutes, Octavio looks up at the sky. "...It's gettin late, you can go if ya want." "Oh, I didn't even realize." She gently grabs Little Buddy, who was sleeping on the ground, and places him in her bag. "Well, guess I'll cya tomorrow," 3 says, yawning again. "Sounds good, and make sure to actually feed your smallfry this time, ya hear?" 3 rolls her eyes and super jumps out of the crater. That night, she questions her whole day, and so does Octavio.
