       Phoebe and Cooper had just got back from their vacation in the middle of nowhere.  "Phoebe?" Cooper questioned.  "Where is Grace's Purse Palace that she kicked us out of?"

       "Oh yeah, it's in the car," Phoebe said.  "Right next to where your paws were."  

       Cooper didn't remember there being anything under his feet, so he decided to check.  As he remembered, there was nothing where his feet were.  At first, he didn't panic, but later, he realized that the purse was Grace's prized possession.  She would really be angry to figure out that the purse she had so generously lent to them was gone.

       "It's not there Phoebe..."  Cooper's voice cracked, worriedly.  "We should probably go back and find it..."

       "Why don't we just buy Grace another purse?" Phoebe expressed her idea.  "That looks exactly like the purse palace, then, she won't even recognize the real purse is gone!"  Phoebe puffed out her chest in pride of what she thought was her great idea.

       Cooper didn't know how to kindly say that his girlfriend's idea was moronic, so he knew he would just have to try his best.  "Phoebe,"  he started.  "I think that plan would be genius... but... wouldn't Grace figure out that there wasn't a palace inside her purse anymore?"

       "You don't trust me?"  Phoebe said, obviously offended.  "I thought you trusted me with all your heart and soul!"  She was really worked up.  She was dumbfounded that he had even suggested that her idea may not work.  "I can't believe this!"  Suddenly, she took out a small container of perfume and sprayed it on her chest fur.  She breathed in its wonderful scent, already beginning to calm down.  "Cooper, I agree with you..."  she could hardly spit the words out of her mouth.  "We should probably go look for the purse palace..."  Her words got even quieter to the point where Cooper could hardly hear her.

       "Are you sure?"  he joked.  "We could just buy her another purse until she figures out that it isn't her purse palace!" 

       "Oh hush!"  Phoebe said, exasperated.  She took another whiff of the calming perfume.  It was a fancy perfume, probably around $50 for one small bottle.  It was a signature scent, very hard to find: "Fresh Rotten Garbage."

       "I guess we're going to look for the purse palace!"  Cooper exclaimed.
