Later that day, Stumpy and Quack Quack were trying to find a place where they could play video games without being lectured on how bad video games were for their physical and psychological well-being when Mr. Cat popped out of a cat flap. "Get in here," he ordered. They complied. "So did you find a way to get rid of the clones?" asked Stumpy. "Well, nutcracker, I've been working on it, and I've found something close to an answer, but it's pretty risky." "Well, what is it? SKBLBLBLBL!" Stumpy's neck spasmed. "You see, I invented this device which can destroy a target based on their DNA. I have a DNA sample from Froggy right here and we can use it to destroy the clones." "Quack (What's so risky about it?)?" asked Quack Quack. It seemed like a pretty foolproof plan. "We have to tell the clones apart from the original. Otherwise... we might end up killing the original," explained Mr. Cat, his voice sounding quiet and shaky like he was about to cry at the last part. The other two noticed this, but decided not to bring it up in the discussion. After all, Kaeloo was Mr. Cat's closest friend. Of course he'd be highly upset if something happened to her, even if he wouldn't admit to it. Heck, he'd even cried once after seemingly having permanently killed Quack Quack. "Quack (All right, we'll think of something)," said Quack Quack, deciding to put an end to the discussion to avoid any awkwardness. "Yeah, see you later!" said Stumpy, and the duo walked out.
Stumpy and Quack Quack knew that they had to get rid of the clones somehow. In a very rare, one-in-a-million occurrence, Stumpy got an idea. He shared it with Quack Quack, who decided that even though it carried the possible risk of Mr. Cat getting angry at them, getting tortured by Mr. Cat was preferable to dealing with all those annoying Kaeloo clones. "One Kaeloo is enough," said Stumpy, which was rather hypocritical considering that he once cloned himself and he AND the clones wouldn't stop annoying the others even though they apologized.
