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