She was a pretty nasty diarrhea stain to me. Absolutely NO question there!

Hat Kid twirled around in her Captain's chair while looking intently at one of the many Time Pieces she had recovered on her adventure, her grip tighter than usual as if it would prevent it from ever being lost again. She replayed the memories of her encounters with the red-hooded blonde girl in her mind enough times to question the authenticity of their friendship. The smug look on her mustachioed face made the hat wearing girl all but sick to her stomach. She stood up from her chair, regained her equilibrium, and walked to the part of the window where a door had been cut and given a handle.

But she was only trying to get rid of the Mafia. They can be pretty brutish. so can she.

With a quarter turn downward, the door small enough for an adventurous child with a top hat opened outward, allowing a rush of cool, extraterrestrial air to blast her rosy cheeks. Countless stars twinkled around the world beneath her tiny feet, acting as a frame for the largest still life painting in the universe. More memories flew into her mind, good ones filled with exploding outhouses, bickering moviemaking fowl, and death-defying leaps from mountain peak to mountain peak. The child held up her precious Time Piece and gave it a puzzled look, an exasperated sigh escaping her lips as her heart made this tough decision for her.

She WANTED to give this Time Piece up.

I guess losing one time piece won't hurt. Besides, I have enough to get home, and then some!

A tiny smile gradually grew into a a toothy grin as she gave the Time Piece a send off kiss.

Be good, little Time Piece. Make Mama proud!

With one hefty throw, she sent the Time Piece flying through the sky towards what she hoped would be Mustache Girl's location. She watched as the hourglass relic spiraled downward until it disappeared completely into the purplish, dark void of space. Satisfied with her doing, Hat Kid returned to the comfort of her Captain's Chair and put a determined little hand on the thruster on the panel. Before shooting off towards her home planet however, she gave one final look to the planet where she had so many adventures and made many new friends.

A single tear trickled down her cheek and died on her weak smile.

Good bye, my friends. Be well…I love you all.

And with that final silent farewell, she jerked the thruster forward, granting the powerful engines life once more. In a matter of milliseconds, the little girl with the top hat catapulted deep into the vast expanse of the Universe, hurtling at breakneck speeds towards her home planet, leaving a trail of thick exhaust smoke in her wake. And miles upon miles below, a single Time Piece continued it's one way journey to it's new owner, an unsuspecting child in red, fast asleep.

"oh…"

A headache with the force of ten thousand stampeding buffalo welcomed Mustache Girl's awakening, her eyes sharply greeted by the noonday sun. With an annoyed grunt, the girl in red gradually stood to her two tiny feet and retuned the bright blue Mafia Town sky with a stormy grimace. She raised two shaking fists into the air and announced to the world her infernal rage with a shout that alerted no one and scared even fewer.

"Blast it all to hell," she yelled. "I had it all! Power! Justice! Authority! Everything that makes heroes great, and it was all mercilessly stripped away by that…that…"

Just the mental image of her arch rival wrecked her intestines with tumultuous fury.

"I swear, if I ever see that stupid brown-haired pig shit, I will strangle the life out of her and use the lifeless body as a boxing bag!"

Mustache Girl threw several punches into the air out of frustration but immediately halted the imagined attack due to her throbbing headache. She sat on the ground, using one hand to support her pounding head. She shut her eyes and took deep breaths through her nostrils like those of a raging bull ready to strike.

"I will have my day once more, you'll see," she mumbled to herself.

When she felt her headache was manageable once again, she stood to her feet and looked around, pondering her next move. A faint whistling sound caused her ears to perk like a dog. She craned her neck to face the sound and noticed a single Time Piece with the falling velocity of a thunderbolt hurtled towards her. She paused for a moment and quickly dove out of the way with a yelp into a thorny bush.

"Holy mother of…GAH!"

She leapt out of the bush and shook all the thorns off her soft little girl skin like a cat out of water and growled. But then it hit her.

"Oh my god…that was a Time Piece, wasn't it!?"

Mustache Girl began searching for the relic as quickly as she could. In just a few minutes of searching, she happened to spot it sitting on top of a sewer pipe, tipping dangerously to the channel below. With as much strength as she could muster, the girl hopped and flipped over to pipe and snatched the Time Piece just before it careened down towards its watery doom.

"hah…haha…HAHAHAHAHAH!"

The little girl with a mustache held up the Time Piece like a trophy eagerly running her chubby little fingers over it's bottom.

"What a stroke of luck! I can hardly believe it. But how…?"

She shook her head.

"Whatever. It doesn't matter anyway. Perhaps I won't be able to regain my former glory, but at least I can use this to teach these Mafia brutes a thing or two!"

She let out a final laugh of triumph which echoed throughout the sewage system. A shot of pain from her head cut her victory short, however.

"Oh for fuck's sake!"
