Training exercise! Let's do it, baby.
|
| Mao Mao
|
Here it comes, Adorabat! Raaah!
|
| Adorabat
|
Oh, yay!
|
| Badgerclops
|
Hey, cool technique, Adorabat!
|
| Mao Mao
|
You're really coming into your own as a hero. We're lucky to have you on the team.
|
| Adorabat
|
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I can scream even louder!
|
| Eugene
|
Fneh! Fneh! Hello?
|
| Badgerclops
|
Adorabat, you wanna grab that?
|
| Adorabat
|
I'm in the bathroom!
|
| Mao Mao
|
I got it last time.
|
| Badgerclops
|
What do you want?
|
| Eugene
|
Fneh. Fneh, fneh, fneh. Uh, it's my sinuses. Is this the sheriff's department?
|
| Badgerclops
|
Depends. Who...Who...Who's asking?
|
| Mao Mao
|
Tut, tut. I am the Sheriff . What's the problem?
|
| Eugene
|
It's just my, uh...my daughter. My sweet little gem. She's...She's missing!
|
| Badgerclops
|
I thought we were all gonna do that?
|
| Mao Mao
|
Why don't you come inside and give us a statement?
|
| Eugene
|
Well, I-I-I...It's just...I've been, uh, you know, working so much...Double, triple shifts. I've...been home so rarely, and, uh...I thought she was at her banjo lesson!
|
| Mao Mao
|
For eight months?
|
| Eugene
|
Well...Well...Well, yes, at first, but then I started to wonder if...
|
| Mao Mao
|
Wow. it's uncanny. It looks just like him. And can you describe your missing daughter?
|
| Eugene
|
Well, uh, she's about yea high, blue...Takes after her old man that way...And just cute as a button, but, uh...if I'm honest...she scares me. And she leaves her molted skin around everywhere, which is terrible for my allergy...What?
|
| Adorabat
|
Mm...Hi, Dad.
|
| Badgerclops
|
Oh, so, now we're all doing it?
|
| Eugene
|
What...What's going on here? Have you been here this entire time, with these...strangers?
|
| Mao Mao
|
Adorabat? I thought you were a ward of the state!
|
| Badgerclops
|
I thought you were my conscience.
|
| Eugene
|
I am so glad you're safe. Let's get you home.
|
| Adorabat
|
No! I wanna stay here and fight monsters with Mao Mao!
|
| Eugene
|
Monsters?! No! N-Never! That's far too dangerous.
|
| Mao Mao
|
If I may, Mister...Adorabat. I can sure you we would never put our littlest deputy in harm's way.
|
| Badgerclops
|
Yeah. Why, just this morning, we used her as bait to lure a giant monster out of its l...
|
| Mao Mao
|
Oh, Badgerclops, you kidder! No, what are you doing?
|
| Eugene
|
You...You people are criminals! I am calling the authorities.
|
| Mao Mao
|
Uh, sheriff's department. State your problem.
|
| Badgerclops
|
Yeah, by the way, I wouldn't try going over our heads. Justice system is whack.
|
| Eugene
|
You are coming home now. I don't want to see you anywhere near these...dangerous thugs!
|
| Adorabat
|
Wait, wait, no! I wanna stay here! No! No!
|
| Badgerclops
|
Who was that guy?
|
| Eugene
|
Hey, uh, I know things have been a little off at home since...
|
| Adorabat
|
Yeah.
|
| Eugene
|
But I, uh, I think you'll find that your old man can be a lot of fun.
|
| Adorabat
|
Mm...Yeah?
|
| Eugene
|
I-I...Well, you know, I mean, obviously, you can't have fun all the time. I mean, sometimes dads...cry! Adorabat! You can't keep running away.
|
| Adorabat
|
I'm 5 years old! I can take care of myself!
|
| Eugene
|
I know this doesn't make sense to you now...but I've got...to keep you safe. Sorry, did you want this open? Uh...I'll just leave it...cracked. How 'bout that?
|
| Adorabat
|
Oh...
|
| Badgerclops
|
Dude, you can't spend your whole life eating ice cream just because Adorabat's gone forever.
|
| Mao Mao
|
Uh, five more minutes?
|
| Badgerclops
|
Do you think that monsters attacking the city are gonna...Wait. Does that have peanut butter in it? We should really go.
|
| Mao Mao
|
You're right. I can keep it together. (Cut to Mao Mao eating ice cream, crying and yelling incoherently)
|
| Adorabat
|
Time to make my escape.
|
| Eugene
|
Fneh? Eh...Eh, I'll be right there. What?
|
| Adorabat
|
No, no, no, stop! It's boring here! I want to go with you!
|
| Mao Mao
|
No! Adorabat, you have...You have to listen to your dad. He just wants what's...best for you.
|
| Adorabat
|
But you said I was part of the team!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Then...you're off the team.
|
| Eugene
|
W-W-What were you thinking? You can't just sneak out like that. Do you have any idea what kind of creatures come out at night? I can't protect you out there!
|
| Adorabat
|
I used to go exploring in those...caves with Mom all the time. She wasn't afraid of anything.
|
| Eugene
|
And then one day, Sonara...she didn't come back with you. That monster is still out there! And I can't let what happened to your mother...happen to you!
|
| Adorabat
|
Well, I'm not afraid! Even if you are! I can go back to that cave anytime and squish that monster myself!
|
| Eugene
|
Yeah, and if you did, I'd come get you! Oh, Eugene. Fneh! Fneh!
|
| Badgerclops
|
How much longer do I have to do this?
|
| Mao Mao
|
I need this, okay?
|
| Eugene
|
Hey. Little gem? Uh...Fneh! Fneh! Uh. Um...I'm, uh, sorry about earlier. You know, it's...It's just been so tough here without your mom and all, and, uh...little gem? A-Adorabat! Where are you?! Oh, no. She must've gone back to the...caves! Oh! This is all my fault! Fneh! Fneh! Uh. Uh. I gotta go save her! Uh. I can't...I can't lose her, too!
|
| Adorabat
|
Dad? Um, I think someone broke into our house and ate all of our junk food! Dad? Dad? Ooh...Hmm? Da...Da...Daddy?
|
| Eugene
|
You can do this, Eugene. Adorabat? Oh. I gotta put on a brave face for her sake. Oh. Sonara, what would you do? Huh? Is that...It can't be. Sonara's glass. Aah! Oh. I guess it didn't see me. Eh. Huh, a little dry in here. Fneh! Fneh! Oh, Eugene. Oh, no, no, no. Fneh! Oh, no! Oof! I-I can't see! I can't see! I can't see! Adorabat? W-W-Wait a minute. How...?
|
| Adorabat
|
I just followed these.
|
| Eugene
|
Shh-shh! Stay down!
|
| Adorabat
|
You're a lot smaller than I remember. Prepare to get squished!
|
| Eugene
|
No! Adorabat! Wait!
|
| Adorabat
|
Big claws? Sharp fangs? I see stuff like that every day! Nothing can scare meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Adorabat!
|
| Eugene
|
Ador...Adorabat?
|
| Adorabat
|
I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of anybody!
|
| Eugene
|
Sonara?
|
| Mao Mao
|
Don't worry. We'll keep her safe. Badgerclops! Operation Moon Roof!
|
| Badgerclops
|
Aw, yeah, baby!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Oh? Hehehe. Huh!
|
| Adorabat
|
Mao Mao!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Adorabat, camel back formation, last straw, go!
|
| Adorabat
|
Roger!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Raaah!
|
| Eugene
|
So brave.
|
| Mao Mao
|
Huh. Is that all the pillars?
|
| Badgerclops
|
No. I just have one left to...Blah! Oh!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Ha! You scream a lot for somebody's who's already lost!
|
| Adorabat
|
Hope you're ready to go squish!
|
| Eugene
|
A-A-Adorabat!
|
| Adorabat
|
I did it! Um...I'm sorry I broke Mom's glass.
|
| Eugene
|
I'm just glad you're okay. I thought I needed to protect you, but it's just...it's been so hard and...I just...I...Oh.
|
| Adorabat
|
It's okay, Daddy. I miss her, too.
|
| Mao Mao
|
Hmm. Come on, Badgerclops. Let's give 'em some space.
|
| Badgerclops
|
Look, man, it's for the best. I think we did the right thing. I mean, at least this means more peanut butter ice cream for both of us, right?
|
| Eugene
|
Hey! Wait up! You can't just leave without the most fearless member of the group.
|
| Adorabat
|
I'm back!
|
| Mao Mao
|
Well...looks like break's over. Let's get back to work, y'all.
|
| Adorabat
|
Yeah!
|
| Eugene
|
Uh...Uh...Oh, uh, Adorabat?
|
| Adorabat
|
Yeah?
|
| Eugene
|
Mm...Mess 'em up good, okay?
|
| Adorabat
|
Okay, Daddy. I'll mess 'em up. I'll mess 'em up real good. So good, their mommies and daddies won't be able to recognize them when I'm done.
|
| Eugene
|
Eh...she scares me.
