"Like when we were kids, right?"

A Quick Capture

"Crap! Yvonne, you haven't seen a wrapped present around her anywhere, have you? I swear I put it under my bed yesterday night, and now it's gone! That was Y/N's present, it can't disappear!" Impact yelled in panic, turning everything in his house upside-down with the help of the young rabbit.

"Let's tell the mayor about this..."

* * * *

You walk out into the daylight, rubbing the crust out of your eyesockets. A small gathering has appeared in front of the town hall, so you guess it's your responsibilty to go help out. On your way, you spot Impact and Emily already in the crowd.

"Mom, what's happening?" You ask, stretching your arms out.

"Several people have reported their items missing overnight. Impact won't tell me what he lost, but Farmer Brown has lost his Banya Seeds, and Chef Cookie has lost all of his cutlery. We fear that a thief is in our midst." She explains, as you nod.

"Emily, could you go back into the Forest Gate and try find PC Plum? He will be a good asset to our search. Meanwhile, Y/N and Impact will ask around town to see if anyone has seen anybody shady."

"WHAT?! That's unfair and boring!" Impact starts, before realising who he's talking to, and quieting down, mumuring "Sorry, Mayor Georgia..."

As Emily leaves for the forest again, you pat Impact on the back.

"S'alright, Impact. Anyway, we could...pretend to be detectives! Like when we were kids, right?" You chirp, and he nods, lighting up again.

"Yeah! We've got a mystery to solve!"

One investigation montage later...

"Welp, whoever the thief is, they're not living in the village right now. Let's go see if PC Plum is back." You sigh, as Impact groans, "but we were just starting to have fun!"

In front of the forest gate, Emily walks out with PC Plum and his two deputies.

"Bzzt - I heard there has been some theft in this village. Don't worry! PC Plum is on the case! Bzzt!" The rotund robot man beeps, his two ghostly companions following behind.

"Nice! Now we can finally find the one behind this thievery! So Emily, how was the Star Grove?" Impact cheers, as she smiles patiently at him.

"I drew a rocket and flew into outer space!" Emily states, Impact's eyes lighting up.

"Woah! So cool! I wanna come next ti-"

"Impact...you promised!"

"Aw, I know..." He frows, walking away dejectedly.

"Stop! Thief!" You hear PC Plum robotically call, as four people run straight past you.

"You'll never catch the great Zsasha!" The thief laughs, turning around to run past you once again.

"Was that the thief just now?" You state, unsure of how to process something so spontaneous.

"Wow, PC Plum works fast for a robot." Impact comments, and you nod. A few seconds later, and you spot the robo-cop escorting the thief back to the station for further questioning.

"Well that was a quick chain of events. At least everything will be fine now!" Impact chuckles, and you frown.

"Oh, that reminds me! The festival is supossed to be tomorrow!" You facepalm, and quickly run off to get ready.
