"Morning Onion Ring, are you ready for our walk? I want to go to the park today" 

"Yes, I'm ready. Let's go to through the fountain first" Ringtail suggested


"You look very pretty today"

"You're dressed nicely too" Stripes complimented


He led the way


"I'm going to meet Marshmallow later, he was hoping you would come along"

"uhh maybe...maybe not. I have something very important to tell you Stripes...tonight is my last night here" he continued "Onion is taking us far away, and I'm not sure if we will see each other again..."


"Oh, I see" Stripes took a moment to process, "Where are you going to?"

"Some place called Tortoise..." 

"...Well that's ok. It was fun while it lasted, getting to know you and your family"

"You too Stripes, I hope your plans work out"


"C'mon, we can still go on a walk through the park before I have to go. Let's enjoy that" Ringtail thought she was fine since she didn't seem disappointed


Though when he wasn't looking...

sniffs


Returning home Ringtail changed back to his cape. While Kristen took her mother to the airport, Cebolla did some final packing. Waiting for evening to arrive, Ringtail had special guests.

"Ringtail! Sasuke and I were out for a walk and decided to stop by" 

"Yeah! We heard you have a girlfriend, and we wanted to meet her"

"Sass! You have to be subtle!" Louie told him


"I don't got a girlfriend anymore, I'm free"

"Free?? Hasn't it only been like 2 days?" Both Louie and Sasuke asked

"Yeah, I broke up with her. Now I can go back to being single and loving it!" 


"I told you this guy is cold. I saw him growl at his own babies. In fact, it was Esme" Sasuke told Louie

"What!!" Louie shouted


"HEY! She tricked me, and besides she was ok with it" Ringtail replied

Sasuke didn't believe that, "Sureee. Zorro told me that she was very sweet. She probably didn't want to admit she was heartbroken"

"Sweet? Stripes? The one who wants to take over the world?" That didn't make sense to Ringtail


Zorro and Louie were going to continue when suddenly Marshmallow ran inside. Leaving them to talk, Zorro played with the ball, and Louie went to greet Cebolla. He made her drop the trash

"Ringtail! Is it true??"

"Marshmallow, is what true?"


"Hey Louie, I heard you're moving to Windenburg. You enjoy with Esme, and your Mom and Dad"

woof "Thank you, I will" 


"Marshmallow said you're leaving! She looked like she was about to cry. Don't leave us now! I'm going to miss you"


"Stripes was about to cry?"


"Yeah, I never saw her like that. Usually she makes me cry when she hits me on the head, but thats cause I do something silly. Are Zorro, Esme and the Queen leaving too? I don't want to lose my new friends"

"Our hoomans all made their choice..." Ringtail was feeling bad, "but we'll still see each other... Mom is Sabrina's sister, and your hooman knows her"

"What about Stripes?" 

"..."


Ringtail did his best to let Marshmallow feel better before he left.  He returned to Louie and Sasuke, and found Louie on his bed
"Get out! That's my bed"

"You can't have it, after you broke that poor girls heart" Louie was disappointed in Ringtail


"Would you like someone breaking your girls heart?" Sasuke asked


"No, but I didn't want to break Stripes heart, I thought she would be ok. She's a very strong raccoon"

"You didn't like her? Even a little bit?"

"...Well she scared me a little but she was very ambitious, and looked cute when she talked about taking over the world"

"So then you have to find her, and make up!!" Sasuke became excited


"...taking over the world? What the??? Esme didn't tell me that" Louie thought to himself, but then spoke.
"Sasuke is right, it's nice having someone Ringtail. I may not live with Maple, but I love her and our family. Now go fix this before I tell Esme how you acted like a jerk!"


Ringtail was feeling really bad after hearing how hurt Stripes was. He went to search for her. 
She liked to terrorize the vendors here, but he couldn't sniff her scent


"I'm sorry Stripes"
