Now before we continue on with our main story, let us check in with the others, shall we?
Pandora and Xenophilius had awoken the next morning and found themselves heartbroken when they saw that both their daughter and her bed were missing. Had she been eaten? Kidnapped? Or worse? They sent out notices asking people to help them find her. All they could do after was wait in agony.
Now not long after Luna had left Mother Toad and her son Neville did the mother return with a bridal dress made for Luna out of white flower petals. However once she did, she could not believe the sight before her.
"Where did she go?" she asked her son in a panic.
"I let her go," he confessed.
"You WHAT?" she nearly screamed, her panic turning quickly to anger.
"She was unhappy here."
"Do you KNOW how long I had to search to find ANYONE as small and as beautiful as she is? Besides she would've learned to love it here."
All of a sudden, she saw a lily pad floating on by. Taking a hold of her son, she launched them both onto it.
"W-where are we going?" Neville asked timidly.
"To find her!"
"But mother-!"
"I don't care! I worked so hard and tirelessly to find you a bride; I'm not going to let such a perfect girl escape that easily!"
Shortly after Luna had been picked up by the bird, the four lady beetles turned to Mr. Beetle in fury.
"How could you have just let her go?" Pansy asked infuriated.
"She's nearly perfect!" said Cho.
"I MUST have her," Susan cried out.
"She's too precious. I must protect her from this cruel world!"
"Now, now, I'm sure we can find her," Mr. Beetle laughed self-consciously.
"And once we do, we shall be able to come to an agreement and perhaps...an engagement."
The four lady beetles looked at each other and nodded.
"Deal," they said simultaneously.
And they flew off to find her.
