Long before she became Mayor of New Donk City. Pauline was on her way to the mall to do some Christmas shopping, then out of nowhere she accidentally ran over a cat. She could not bear to leave the corpse on the road for other cars to hit and squash. So she stopped, wrapped the cat in some tissue paper she had with her, and put it in an old shopping bag in the backseat. Pauline would bury it in the backyard when she got home. At the mall, she parked her car and walked inside. After Pauline finished shopping she head outside. Right when she existed the mall she noticed a woman breaking into the backseat of her car. When she managed to open the door, she took the shopping bag containing the dead cat. Then the woman quickly got into her car and drove away.
Pauline ran to her car and followed the woman. She managed to follow her all the way to her house without being spotted. While the woman parked her car on her driveway, Pauline parked hers across the street a few feet away from the woman's house. When the woman got off her car and start heading inside her house, she took a peek inside the shopping bag she stole. A look of horror crossed her face. She screamed and fainted. Her nearby neighbors heard her scream and ran outside, and found her lying on her porch.
One of her neighbors called an ambulance. A crowd gather in front of the woman's house. Pauline got out of her car and join in the crowd. The crowd watched as two attendants carried the woman away on a stretcher. But they left the shopping bag behind. Pauline picked up the bag and ran after them.
Pauline: "This is hers."
She said to one of the attendants.
Pauline: "It's her Christmas present ! She wouldn't want to lose it."
