Because I'm a giant troll, I'll give you this special chapter while I make you wait for the next one. It might be about Vilma and Arnold (or as you have called Arnolma), but it is an important  chapter. So don't you dare to not read.

Many storks gathered around for lunch time at the cafeteria. Vilma sat with a group of female friends, chatting and smiling.

"...so I told him, no. Go date that monkey!" One of them said. They laughed as Vilma rolled her eyes.

"Hey, Vilma, I haven't seen you laugh for real."

"Ugh... it's Arnold again. I'm still waiting for the day he gets fired."

"Why don't you give him a chance? He's a nice guy. He also fought with the Bird Armada."

"Uh, Vilma, you got yourself a uniformed one!" They all laughed except for Vilma. Who just rolled her eyes.

"He's a thorn on my side."

"Excuse me, everybody!"

All storks turned to the owner of the voice: Arnold. He stepped over a table and adjusted his shaded goggles around his neck and scanned the crowd with his baby blue eyes. "So, I want to dedicate a song---"

"Get lost, Arnold!" Someone yelled, but was ignored.

"---to a beloved somebody."

Vilma's friends elbowed her while she blushed like mad. The other storks cheered as Arnold dedicated his song with awesome dance moves and all.

The storks cheered and Vilma groaned. When Arnold slid across the table towards her...

"...and I will give my kingdom for just one kiss! Come on, Vil!"

...She punched him in the face. The crowd gasped.

OOO

Vilma opened the doors to her office while pulling Arnold by the goggles. "Hey! Careful! This are medic recommended goggles for my eyes! Too much light bothers me! Light grenades exist you know."

"And you bother me!" Vilma let go as she turned to face him. She forwned. "Light grenades?"

Arnold rubbed his eyes and I stead of putting on his goggles, he went for stylish sunglasses. "When I was in service, a light grenade exploded near me while I was flying into combat. Lucky me, I didn't go blind. I got the Purple Heart medal, though. Too much light bothers me since then. That's why I wear the goggles when I go to deliver babies or shades when I'm inside."

Vilma felt a little bad, but shook away those feelings. "Listen, you have a nice voice and all---"

"Thank you."

"---But I simply don't want a relationship with a work mate."

Arnold stared. "Why?"

"It's complicated... I don't want love life to mess with my work." She turned away.

Arnold smirked. "But you are attracted to this!" He motioned himself.

"No, I'm not." Vilma blushed.

"Yes, you are, babe."

"Don't call me babe."

"Then, Vil."

"Don--- don't call me Vil!"

Arnold laughed. "...you love it when I call you Vil." He said in a deep voice that would make any girl melt.

"Get out of my office!"

"You dragged me here in the first place." He smirked. "You wanted some time alone with mua?"

"Get out."

"This is the boss office, you just got a desk in front of his private office."

"Then just leave."

"No can't do, señorita."

Vilma blushed madly and frowned. "Just get out of here. The boss is away on his day off and left me some work to take care of." She went to grab a folder, but Arnold took her wing before she reached it. She looked up at the taller stork.

"Hey, just one date and I promise I won't bother you again. Unless, of course, you want to go out again." He smirked.

Vilma glared. "Arnold, I said--"

But she was interrupted by the sound of a panicked crowd. Both storks looked at each other and went outside the office. They looked outside the twelve floor balcony and down where the baby making machine was. There had been TV additions around the building for entertainment purposes. They joined a crowd gathering under a TV. When they looked up, they couldn't believe who was giving a message.

Hunter had been speaking directly to the crowd. "...I will be back and if many of you will pay, starting with them!" The camera turned to see the Gardner family and their pink haired baby inside a cage in what it looked to be the inside of a helicopter. The crowd gasped. The message ended and the crowd went into full panic mode. Birds flew and ran around, not knowing what to do.

Vilma took off her shirt, because it limited her ability to fly, and flew high in the air. "Hey, listen up!" Her commanding voice echoed and the crowd stopped running around. Vilma frowned. "Does everybody remember the red alert code we had back in Cornerstore?"

They nodded.

"Let's apply it here! Lock down the building! Nothing goes in or out!"

"What about Junior!?" Someone yelled.

"I'll go find him--"

"I'll go with you." Arnold said as he put on his goggles and flew beside her. "You can't go alone. No buts."

Vilma nodded. "You heard me! Total lock down until we come back!"

She and Arnold flew out of the building while the storks went to work on security mesures.

"Do you know where he is?" Arnold asked.

Vilma nodded. "He let me know before he left in case there was an emergency. And I believe this is--- no, not emergency, catastrophy!"

"I might have not been working at Stork Mountain when Hunter was in charge, but I've heard stories." Arnold said as he flew over a cloud.

Vilma sighed. "I used to be his secretary. He wasn't the best. Smart? Yes. But he was very arrogant. I'm glad the new boss isn't like that."

"If he exists at all."

Vilma looked at Arnold with a shocked expresion. "What do you mean?"

Arnold looked at her through his goggles. "Please, doesn't this smell a little fishy to you? He kidnaps the Gardners, who knows where they are, and causes panic so we can get the boss to solve it. But--"

"But what if Hunter already got to him? And Tulip!?" Vilma gasped. "Arnold! It makes sense! If he got to them first then, who will help us? He wants us to panic!"

" I've seen this before in combat. Divide and conquer. Fear is the biggest weapon for the enemy."

Vilma gasped. "We got to hurry."

"Agreed."

But just then, a familiar aircraft could be seen in the distance.
