"Coco coco coco coco! (I'm sure it was here somewhere!)"
"What was somewhere?"
After dinner, Coco and Eduardo were in the recreation room in search of something.
"Coco coco! Coco coco coco coco. (Your stuffed rabbit! I'm positive that I last saw it in here.)"
"Thank you for trying to help find it for me, but I'm not really up to looking for it."
"Coco? Coco coco coco coco? (Huh? You want to give up on the two-month search?)"
"It's not that I'm giving up. It's because I learned to have courage without it."
"Coco coco? Coco coco coco coco coco coco, coco? (Oh really? So you're saying you'd be able to stand up to someone like Bloo's clingy girlfriend, huh?)"
"Standing up to Berry?" He jokingly swatted the air at her. "Let's not go too far. I don't think I have the energy."
"Coco coco coco coco coco? (Did someone teach you or did you teach yourself?"
"Someone definitely taught me! It was-..."
It was odd that he was drawing a blank. The pause had gone one pretty long to an extent that the bird friend cocked her head at him.
"...Coco coco? (You don't remember?)" she wondered.
"Si...I don't." He scratched his head. "It's weird...I know someone helped me, but I'm having trouble remembering."
"Coco, coco? (You too, huh?)"
"You forgot something too?"
"Coco...coco coco coco. Coco coco coco coco. (It's...been on my mind for a few days. I think I was teaching them something.)"
"Well...it'd be great if it does turn up. Let me check the lost and found bin."
As the bull friend turned behind a tall shelf to get to the bin, Coco kept wondering what the missing link was. With enough thought, she figured a clue might be in her notebook. Since it's not common for her to "hold" items, she lays an egg that spontaneously had the notebook in it...only to suddenly get snatched away. It was Bendy, once again causing more trouble. He had two other friends with him: one was snakelike and the other was that of a boar.
"Coco! Coco coco! (Hey! Give that back!)" she spouted.
"Give it back? I don't think so," Bendy grinned. "It seems pretty valuable to you, so all the more reason to keep it, right?"
"Coco coco! Coco coco coco coco coco? (No it's not! Don't you think it's important to remember what was lost?)"
"Remember what was lost?" The yellow friend rotates the book on his finger. "Please...What annoying bird has time to remember anything? Besides, it's not like anyone gonna stop you."
Ed couldn't find anything in the bin, but overheard the conversation going on. Peeking behind the shelf, he spotted Bendy along with his two cohorts playing catch with Coco's notebook. Seeing that it was three against one, he somewhat felt demoralized. He wanted to help his friend, but he couldn't figure out what was holding him back. He was just talking about having courage too…If only the memory would come back.
"I wonder where your friends are?" Bendy wondered. "It's a shame they're not around to save you."
"That's totally fine," the boar friend spoke. "We also have something of theirs that will have them regret messing with you in the first place!"
That was a cue for the snake friend to reveal a certain toy: the pink stuffed rabbit. Seeing it put Eduardo in an instant shock.
A thought flew through his mind soon after:
The only one that can bring out our confidence is ourselves...
...It sparked his memory.
"Cereza…" he mouthed, before the confidence flowed into him.
He marched out to the three goons, every step nearly shooting a shiver down their spines. They didn't realize he was nearby, and began to huddle closely.
"So you've had my conejo all this time," he began. "Would you be so kind as to return both that and the notebook to us?"
"...Y-Yeah right!" Bendy attempts to stay tough. "And what if I tear them into pieces?"
"Ripped or not...I will show you no mercy."
The yellow friend nearly turned pale. It was even enough to shake his friends to the very core with fear. Having a stand off this long told him that Ed wasn't backing down in the slightest. Even Coco was surprised that his serious switch was flipped. The troublemakers didn't realize they had dropped the items prior to scurrying out of the room.
"Coco, coco! (Thanks, Ed!)" Coco jumped. "Coco coco coco coco! (Never thought I'd see that in action!)"
"De nada. I nearly forgot I had courage for a moment...Seeing the rabbit sparked the memory I had with Cereza."
"Coco? (Cereza?)"
The bull friend picked up his rabbit and Coco did the same to her notebook.
"She was our pink friend! Surely you have something to remember her!"
She remembered the reason why she took out the notebook. On a whim she had flipped to a particular page...the one that the aforementioned friend had written in. Her eyes immediately widened, as it had finally clicked.
"Coco coco! Coco coco coco coco coco! (You were right! I knew there was something I was missing!)"
"I'm glad you remember! Do you think the others should know?"
"Coco...coco coco coco, (Maybe...but let's wait,)" the bird friend said. "Coco coco coco coco coco. (I feel not all of us haven't remembered yet.)"
"Wait? Who do you think is left aside from the rest of the house?"
"Coco...coco coco coco coco coco coco… (I feel...that the one who loved her the most has yet to realize that she's no longer here…)"
"Azul…"
The unknown figure from before was meant to pass by the room earlier, but hid nearby to catch the entire conversation.
