Sofia looked at Christina in fear as she imagined what they were doing to Zoe. "We have to start looking for her!" Sofia yelled at Christina.
"You don't think I don't know that Sof?!" Christina scolded. Sofia trembled in fright, "I'm sorry... I just really want to find her."
"That's ok... Hey, she spent a lot of time with Vixen... Maybe she told him something we don't know?" Sofia suggested.
"Good thinking Sof! Lets go find him!" Christina replied cheerfully.
The foxes looked all around the North Pole for Vixen. They looked in the work shop, the reindeer stables, the bakery, the ice rink, and even in a few houses. Vixen was no where to be found. "At this rate, we may never find him... we've been walking for hours!" Christina complained.
"I'm not giving up! Zoe wouldn't have given up looking for you... So get your paws together and lets find that son of a nutcracker!" Sofia replied with a little tension. Christina looked at her for using her harsh language. Sofia continued to walk and Christina followed behind.
After hours and hours of searching for Vixen, they finally found him in the DEPRESSED ROOM FOR THE DEPRESSED. They walked in slowly not sure what to expect. They saw many gloomy elves, reindeer, and toys (don't ask). At the back of the room, they found Vixen crying into a pillow. "Vix? You okay there?" Christina asked in concern.
"Why would you care? Zoe is gone, and she was the most beautiful horse I have ever seen..... She was just... TAKEN... And now I'll never see her again." He cried.
"Hey hey hey.... don't say that... What if I told you that we're gonna bring her back, but we need your help." Sofia said in a hushed voice.
"*sniff* I'll really get to see her again?" He asked with barely any tears this time.
"We promise... We just need your help, okay?" Christina questioned.
"Ok... What do you need to know?" Sofia and Christina looked at each other and started asking him questions. He explained that Zoe used to live in a magnificent kingdom in the clouds, but hated it (which they already knew). He went on how if you don't decide to fall off, there's another way to go down... and up. Vixen told them what direction to head in and where to stop and what to look for.
"THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'LL TAKE A MONTH TO GET THERE CONSIDERING WE'RE I DON'T KNOW... FOXES AND CAN'T FLY!!!!" Christina shouted.
"Christina calm down... He's trying his best here." Sofia whispered, "Do you think you can take us Vixen? Maybe you can be her prince... with shiny sleigh bells?"
"Hmmm... ok. I'll do it! I'll help you guys find my beloved Zoe." He exclaimed.
"..... I think I just threw up a little in my mouth." Christina murmured with her paw over her mouth."
