"Okay got everything we need?" Scratch asked.
"Camping supplies check, food check, Scratch's gear check, Yup we're good to go." Hot Dog rattled off.
"Wait you two need aliases!" Scratch realized "I mean Hot Dog and Funny Bone? No one will believe those are your names!"
"So what should we go by?" Funny Bone asked.
"Hmm let me think, how about Magmar for Hot Dog and Ulmar for you Funny Bone." Scratch answered prompting the two pups to nod in agreement. With their supplies all packed they jumped on the portal of power and tried not to puke as they warped to the alternate world where Smiler lived. Where magic existed and pups could speak to humans and be understood!
"And here we are!" Scratch said as they materialized near Adventure Bay.
"I get the sneaking suspicion this isn't Barkingburg." Hot err I mean Magmar stated.
"We better ask around to find out if that's the case" Fun-I mean Ulmar stated matter-of-factly.
"Alright race ya to that town hall looking building!" Scratch challenged. As they raced Scratch wondered why they were the ones chosen to find Smiler. After all wouldn't it be more appropriate for Stealth Elf or someone like her to handle this mission? Since she can just sneak around civilians until she found Smiler, Stealth Elf would be a better pick. Eventually, Scratch came to the conclusion that they were chosen because their natural forms will be easier for Smiler to get used to.
Hot Dog on the other paw, wondered why the portal appear to glitch and presumably send them far from Barkingburg. After all, portals or power usually never glitch and always take them to their proper destinations. Maybe this was a onetime occurrence. Then again Eon did say he already set the coordinates so maybe he did this on purpose. But why would he send them to the wrong place? Maybe he just wanted to be rid of them for awhile and therefore stalled the mission. Hot Dog wasn't sure about anything about this mission right now.
Funny Bone wasn't thinking up theories on the mission, instead he was wondering what the town they were running towards. What is the town like? He couldn't care less about the portal supposedly glitching. After all that just meant two places they could learn about in one mission. In fact if Eon didn't straight up tell them where to find Smiler they could learn about more places as they tried to find Smiler. Funny Bone made a mental note to try to learn about as much as they could about every place they visit during this mission.
