After the nursery kids were put to sleep, Sarah made her way to the broom closet down the hallway. She looked at the closet door for a little bit, hesitant to open it, for she was afraid that she was going to be pushed in again, but then thought about what Wilt told her. She closed her eyes, then opened them again, thinking of one of her favorite songs as she sung, "Everything is beautiful" to herself, her hand shakily making it to the door knob. Opening it quickly, she grabbed the broom and slammed it shut, taking slow deep breaths as she hugged the broom to herself.
After a few minutes to regain her composure, Sarah then stood up as she said, "Now lets go take care of that class room." she smiled a little before heading to the elevator to go to the 4th floor school rooms.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Stacy rushed in, sliding on the floor a little, between Wilts legs as he was about to come out, then crashed into the bottom cabinets. Wilt dropped the tray, helping Stacy up asking worriedly, "are you okay?"
Stacy rubbed her head, "yeah I am fine," she then looked up to Wilt, "Wilt, do you know who made these muffins?"
Wilt smiled, "Well yeah, Sarah did."
Stacy's jaw dropped, "Sarah?! You mean, long brown hair, yellow fur, cat like, fluffy tailed, kind, caring, loving Sarah?"
Wilt looked at her then his jaw dropped, "Are you…her…Stacy?"
Stacy jumped up with a huge smile, "Yes she is here!" she then ran out to the dinning hall with Wilt close behind her, "Stephanie! Stephanie!"
Stephanie put her cup down, looking at her little sister and Wilt, "what's going on?"
Stacy smiled, "She is here! Sarah is here!"
Stephanie looked shocked, she couldn't believe her ears, "Are you serious?!"
"YES YES! She really is here!" Stacy shouted in excitement, causing Bloo and Mac to come running in.
"What's going on in here?" Bloo shouted.
"Guys! These are Sarah's creators!" Wilt said in excitement, "Quickly, has anyone seen her?"
Mac shook his head, "No…I haven't seen her since I got here."
"The only time I saw her was when she was in the kitchen," Bloo stated.
"Lets ask Mr. Herriman, he is the one who called her in, he will tell us where she is!" Wilt pointed out.
"What are we waiting for! Come on!" Stacy shouted as Bloo and Mac led the way into Mr. Herriman's office.
Sarah, after cleaning up the classroom, took the broom and set it back into the 5th floor closet. She leaned up against the door, then took out a little list out of her apron pocket, "Okay lets see here…put the little ones to bed, sweep the class rooms…next on the list is, tend to the backyard." Sarah felt her stomach growl a little as she rubbed her belly, "Oh, I better grab something to eat first," walking to the elevator to take her to the 1st floor when she saw the numbers above it light up.
"oh, Oh well, the stairs will do me just fine." Sarah said to herself walking towards the stairs.
Wilt, Mac, Bloo and Stacy took the elevator up to the 4th floor and checked out each class rooms, though seeing that Sarah was not in ever one of them, Stacy grunted, "okay, She is not up here."
"Its okay," Wilt assured her, "I know she is around here somewhere." Wilt thought for a moment then said, "I know, she could be still in the nursery, or maybe she is in the garden."
"I think for the safety of not losing sight of her, we split up," Stacy said looking up to Wilt.
"Good idea," Wilt said then turned to Mac and Bloo, "you guys cover the Garden, Stacy and I will handle the Nursery."
"Got it!" Mac and Bloo said, running into the elevator going down to the first floor, While Wilt and Stacy ran up the back stairs to go to the 5th floor nursery.
Once on the first floor, Mac and Bloo ran towards the back, while Sarah was in the kitchen washing her hands after eating . It wasn't till she got out of the kitchen when she realized she messed up her apron with crumbs and chocolate syrup splats.
Sarah sighed deeply in aggravation, taking off her apron and walking down the hallway to the laundry room, Just as Stephanie and Frankie came out of Herrimans office.
Frankie growled angrily, "I don't get it, Peter cotton butt could have called Sarah down here and it would save us the time, but no, the intercom is used for emergencies only, not when you want to call someone when you can easily find them yourself…Oh…I swear, one of these days."
"Its okay Frankie," Stephanie said turning her wheelchair to face her, "I am sure we will find her in no time. I mean how many places can their be?"
Frankie looked at her, "do you really want to know?"
"that many huh?" Stephanie said in a slight sad tone.
Frankie looked at her solemnly saying, "Its okay, like I said, Wilt knows this place inside and out, I am sure he will find Sarah in no time."
Mac and Bloo ran towards Frankie and Stephanie from the backyard, panting unevenly as they stopped in front of them.
"We…looked….can't….find…" Bloo breathlessly stated before passing out on the floor shortly after Mac did.
Frankie bent down helping both of them up as Mac wobbled a little while trying to stand up, "you guys take a breather, she can't be too f-."
"Stephanie?" said a shocked whispered voice.
Stephanie's attention was brought behind her as she stared wide eyed at who had called her name. Sarah was standing there stunned at the sight of Stephanie, but not as surprised as she was to see her.
Stephanie turned her chair to face her with a smile, her eyes welded up in tears silently saying, "you are here."
Sarah was about to say something when she heard, "SARAH!!!!" Her eyes were brought to the top of the stairs seeing Stacy on Wilts shoulder, without thinking, Stacy jumped off Wilts shoulder, landing on the very edge of the step making her slip forward.
In a panicked state, Sarah ran up catching Stacy in mid air, landing on her feet but then got knocked down on her back, "Stacy you n-" Stacy cut her off wrapping her arms around Sarah's neck and started crying.
Stacy was shaking as she cried, hugging Sarah dearly to her, "We…found you…Sarah…" Stacy couldn't talk anymore as she started to cry uncontrollably.
Feeling her dear creator and youngest child tremble in her embrace, Sarah sat up slowly wrapping her arms around Stacy, hugging her dearly, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Stephanie who wheeled up to her taking Sarah's hand as she too started to cry.
Sarah gave a sigh of relief and content as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, she stood up beside Stephanie, wrapping an arm around Stephanie's shoulders as she wrapped her arms around her waist hugging her dearly as both girls started crying. Wilt smiled at Sarah as she gave a smile, she was once again, reunited with her creators.
