Chapter 3: Here Comes the Fur Monster

Horace calls Tux Dog back as-promised.

Tux Dog: "Alright, Horace…"

Horace: "Yes?"

Tux Dog: "Well, I was going to send you back, but since you just got back, I'm sending him to you."

Horace: "Ah, thanks. Is he living here too?"

Tux Dog: "Yes. But don't fret, he's the last member until further notice. Plus, the Headquarters should be big enough for the three of you regardless."

Horace: "Oh, no, it's fine. Roba's been a nice housemate so far."

Tux Dog: "I'm sure you three will all help each other out… Bye for now."

Horace: "Of course. Bye."

He hangs up, and waits at the front door.

A few minutes later, a fur monster turns up; Alfé Chocofus.

Alfé: "Heeeyy, it's Alféee! That fancy Tux Dawg sent me 'ere to live with y'all."

Horace(standing up): "Oh, hello there, Alfé! Welcome, there's one room left for you."

Alfé: "Awww-some! Thanks, Horace."

Horace: (How does he- oh, right. Tux sent him.)

The two go inside to see Roba cleaning the living room.

Alfé: "Hey there, Roba!"

Roba comes up close to Alfé to feel his fur.

Roba: "I've never seen a guy quite like you before!"

Horace: "They're called fur monsters. I don't blame you, since they're really only in-and-around Farboro."

Roba: "I wonder why that is, he looks cute!"

Alfé: "Hehe."

Horace: "They're split-evolutions from anthro-dogs like Tux, I think."

Roba: "...W-well, speaking of that… kinda, I'm still really nervous about this thing. But I'm sure we'll all get used to each other."

Horace: "Of course. Don't worry, Roba.., We're the Problem Solverz now."

End of Episode 0

(Author's Note: I know this is a short episode but I wanted to leave the first cases for future episodes. Also even if they didn't have a first meetup in the source material, this is mainly for the people who dislike or don't care about the original but want to support my fanprojects of it. Thank y'all for reading anyway!)
