Runaway Deputy

Chapter 1: The Fight

It was a fine day in Pure Heart Valley, no monsters were in sight, so everything was peaceful....

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?"

Keyword, WAS peaceful.

Mao Mao, the Sheriff of the valley, was currently having a pretty nasty argument with his deputy and fan, Adorabat. The reason they were fighting was because Mao Mao and Badgerclops went out, leaving Adorabat home alone. When the Cat and Badger returned they found the bat sitting on the floor. She was trying to tape a broken Geraldine (Mao Mao's beloved sword), after it had been broken. Needless to say, Mao Mao was LIVID.

"I SAID I WAS SORRY!"

"SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT!"

So now, the Sheriff and Deputy were having a screeching match with Badgerclops trying to break them up. "CAN'T YOU JUST BE MORE CAREFUL WITH OTHER PEOPLES THINGS!?" Mao Mao screeched, causing Adorabat to retort, "I am, it was an accident!" she spat. "Dude I think she's right, maybe it was an accident." Badgerclops stated, causing Mao Mao to glare at him. "You stay outta this, Badgerclops!" Mao spat, before turning to look at Adorabat, "As for you, you are grounded!" he spat. The bat was horrified, and she flew sadly up to their room, where she heard Mao mutter, "Stupid klutz..."

-----Hours Later------

Mao Mao had went upstairs infront of their room door to apologize, he sighed as he looked the door. "Hey, Adorabat..." he mumbled, knowing that the bat probably was still mad at him, "I know your mad," he stated. "But me and Badgerclops had a talk, and now I'm starting to think twice about it." he said, guiltily. "So, I'm sorry.." he mumbled, hoping it was loud enough for the bat to hear, but there was no response. "Adorabat?" Mao asked, knocking on the door softly, "Do you hear me?" he asked once again, still no response.

Worried, the Sheriff opened the door, where he found that Adorabat was nowhere in sight, nowhere indeed. Now panicking, he searched everywhere for her, the closet, the drawers, etc., but still no sign. He then decided to recheck everyplace in the room, to see if he missed anything, where he found a note. It was under a pillow and he opened it up, and what he read nearly broke him.

The note read:

"Dear Mao Mao,
Words can't describe how hurt I felt when you accused me of breaking Geraldine on purpose! I would never do that, especially since I look(ed) up to you, I broke her trying to kill a bug!
I tried telling you, but you wouldn't listen, instead, as said before, you accused me of breaking her on purpose! So I decided to runaway, goodbye forever, tell B.C I still love him, same with my friends.

Hope I never, ever see you again.

From your ex-fan and ex-deputy, Adorabat.

P.S- Oh, and don't think I didn't here you call me a stupid klutz!"

When, he finished, the Sheriff dropped to his knees, tears pouring along with the thought he had:

"W-what have I done!?"
