Poppy is laughing with Cooper near some tables with people talking. Lila then pops out of the bushes.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! It's A MONSTER!" Lila shouted.

"WORSE it's A STRANGER! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" Honey shouted.

The Smiling Dogs scream and run up to Poppy.

"Kids? what? A monster? Stranger?" Poppy asked.

"We were practicing another song and that's where we saw it. Someone or something watched us. That thing approached us saying he worked at a record company and wanted us to be stars," Lucky explained.

"I told him that we don't talk to strangers and went to go find you," Honey said.

"Good on you for stranger safety," Rose said.

"You didn't see a monster, you saw a human and humans like us are actually really nice," Poppy said.

"You mean those people like Gristle and Bridget?" Bluey asked.

"Yup," Poppy said.

"It didn't make any sense, Crimp is our manager for the Smiling Dogs. Why would someone that is not her have interest in eight dogs that sing like us?" Honey asked.

"Maybe he is a passerby," Poppy shrugged.

"I don't know, Poppy. You didn't see him. He had this "I'd very much like to make young kids famous" look in his eye," Honey said.

"Guys, I'm telling, you, Bergens do not sabotage bands. And I'll prove it. Take me to this "monster," and I'll show you how kind they are. Can you retrace your steps?" Poppy asked.

The Smiling Dogs go to the place where they saw the Bergen but Poppy and Rose remained in the doorway where Rose's limo is located. Rose's driver, Samuel Arrow, a burly African American man nodded at her with compliance.

"Oh, man! Here he is!" Bluey said pointing to the figure.

"I know who he is and he is trouble, I'm calling 911," Rose said as she took out her cellphone and took a picture. Then, she texted the police and sent the picture.

"OK, great. Let's go say hello!" Poppy said.

"Wait! Poppy, no!" Rose warned her as they stayed back. "This is a stranger danger."

"Wait, where are the Smiling Dogs?" Poppy gasped when she saw them go to the human man.

"I'll be the one talking to them," Mackenzie said.

The man chomps on a fruit as he walks toward The Smiling Dogs, who were whimpering in fear.

"Umm... How are you today?" Mackenzie asked. "Um, excuse me? Are you the one who had the record deal with me and my friends?"

A fair skinned man with dark green reclining hair, brown mustache, red eyes, and the typical broken-unstraight teeth wearing a white shirt, red and golden jacket, brown pants, a black belt, green tinted boots and glasses with grey tape.

"Well, better now that you're here, you precious border collie of perfection! The name's Barnald." Barnald said.

"Nice to meet you, Barnald. I'm Lucky, the leader of the Smiling Dogs. These are my friends, Muffin, Bluey, Bingo, Chloe, Lila, Mackenzie, and Honey," Lucky said.

"Excuse me." Poppy said.

She goes over The Smiling Dogs and Rose.

"Will you eight please come out here and begin a journey of friendship that will last a lifetime?!" Poppy said.
