"SHE WHAT!?" screamed King Snugglemagne as Badgerclops and Mao Mao finished their story. "Yeah, Adorabat ran away because someone freaked on her..." Badgerclops stated before a giving a quick glare at Mao, who glared back. The black cat then sighed, looking at the King, "Yes, it's true your Majesty, I did freak out on her..." "So we were wondering if you could set up a search..." Mao added, looking guilty, remembering what he said to the Bat.

King Snugglemagne thought for a moment, before nodding, "Yes, I will set up a search party." he said. Both the Badger and Black Cat sighed out of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Mao Mao added, smiling a bit. "No problem, Sheriff," the King replied, "Just let me call all the Sweetypies to Town square." he added cheerfully. Snugglemagne's face suddenly darkened, however, catching Mao Mao off guard, "You certainly have a lot of apologizing to do." Mao Mao gulped, "Yes, Your Grace, I do..."

AT TOWN SQUARE

All the Sweetypies had gathered around like King Snugglemagne had promised. The aforementioned King had walked onto the podium, took the microphone, and cleared his throat, "Attention Sweetypies," he called, grabbing the residents' attention. "I have some rather unfortunate news to share," Snugglemagne paused before sighing, "One of our residents, Adorabat, has ran away." he concluded, causing all of his people to gasp. "I'm just scratching the surface, however, as I am leaving the rest our beloved Sheriff." King Snugglemagne added, stepping aside as Mao took the microphone. The aforementioned Sheriff sighed, mumbling a quick: 'Thank you', before looking to the audience.

With that, Mao Mao told the whole story, struggling to keep his composure, while the SP's emotions went from shock to anger. The Sheriff was just finishing when suddenly, an apple hit his head, "OW, WHO THREW-" Mao's question was interrupted when all of the villagers began to items and insults at him. This continued on, each insult and thrown item infuriating Mao Mao even more. When suddenly he snapped, "ALRIGHT I GET IT! I SUCK, OKAY?" the Sheriff shouted, making every villager, (along with King Snugglemagne and Badgerclops), flinch. Mao panted, trying to regain his composure as King Snugglemagne stepped onto the podium and awkwardly took the mic. The King looked nervously at Mao Mao and all the residents before sighing, "Well since that's over, I think what our Sheriff here is trying to say is if any you would like to participate in a search party." Snugglemagne finished.

All the villagers agreed quickly and zipped away. Mao Mao, (having finally regained his composure), sighed and turned to look at Snugglemagne, "I'm sorry about that, Your Grace" he apologized, "Oh, it's, uh, no problem Sheriff, just keep it cool next time!" The lion chirped nervously. The three remaining residents walked off the podium, no doubt intending to ensemble the search teams. All the while, Mao Mao had only thought in his head:

"I'm so sorry Adorabat, I promise I'll do anything to get you back."
