The mascots spent the whole next day talking about the incident. At noon, Gary stood up and said 'I have a solution'. 'I hope it doesn't fail...again' Dot muttered. Gary shook his head and explained his plan. The mascots agreed to let it proceed. Before they left, Gary turned to Dot and said 'Stay here. It's too dangerous'. Dot shook her head. She was determined to help her friends and save the island. She pushed past Gary and followed the others. Gary went silent before turning around and following the other mascots.

'There's the last mascbot' whispered Gary, pointing to Rookie-Bot who was going crazy at the plaza. 'I'm done' said Dot, turning Cadence around. Cadence was covered in clown make-up and it made Rookie scream. Rookie covered his beak and whispered 'That looks great'. PH pushed Cadence out from behind the Pet Shop and Rookie-Bot said 'You will never find the secret base in the coffee-'. Rookie-bot shut down before it could finish the sentence. 'Well that happened' said Cadence, dusting herself off. She cleaned off the face paint and asked 'What now?'. It brought an awkward silence down on the mascots before Gary blurted 'To the coffee shop'.

The mascots adventured to the abandoned coffee shop. 'Hey look a hole' said Rookie, putting his flipper into a huge hole in the floor of the coffee shop. Dot yanked him away and asked 'Rookie, why would you put your flipper in there?'. 'There's a hole' answered Rookie. Gary shook his head and jumped down the hole. 'You could've taken the stairs' complained Cadence, walking down the stairs. All the mascots went into the hole one by one. Herbert was there with Klutzy and a strange-looking robot. 'Stop Herbert' said Gary. 'NO ONE CAN STOP ME' said Herbert, flicking a switch that activated the robot. The mascots gasped as the robot sprang to life. 'MY plan is brilliant' said the robot, turning on a switch and watching as a cage trapped Herbert and Klutzy. No one had a plan this time, not even Gary, one of the smartest penguins on the island. Dot looked up and saw the signal Herbert used to activate the robot. Dot took a snowball out of her pocket and gave it to PH. 'When I say so, throw this snowball at the target and hopefully my plan will work.' Dot explained to PH. PH nodded and watched Dot run to the wall and started teasing the robot.

The robot turned around and started going over to Dot. 'NOW' Dot yelled over to PH. PH threw with all her might and the snowball landed perfectly on the spot. Dot watched as the robot got zapped and fell to the ground. 'Alright' said Dot before whispering 'Let's get out of here.'. The mascots fled the lair and as they were leaving the coffee shop, a short penguin ran over to them shouting 'Gary! Gary!'. 'GARY, your wanted' laughed Cadence. 'Sydmull!' said Gary before asking the short penguin 'What are you doing here?'. The short penguin who must have been Sydmull explained that someone called Blizzard released ghosts on the island. Gary gasped and turned to his fellow mascots. 'You all go back to the mascot igloo. I'll be there if I need one of yous' he explained before following Sydmull. 'Well you heard him, let's move' said PH. Dot shook her head and sat on the counter. 'You're staying?' questioned Cadence. Dot nodded. 'Fine be alone. Come on' said Cadence rudely. No one but PH agreed. Cadence and PH went to the mascot igloo together.

Sooner or later Gary ran over to PH and Cadence. Cadence went with Gary and PH continued going to the mascot igloo, alone. She went to her room and watched out the window as a red laser-like beam shot out of the ground and a pumpkin covered it. PH stared in amazement, ignoring the cracking sounds behind her. Meanwhile, Gary went to the coffee shop to see the others. 'Everything's fine now. We are going to be 99.9 percent safe' he explained. Cadence came in behind him and said 'And to celebrate there is a party in the dance club'. Every mascot and familiar everyday penguin ran next door to the dance club. Dot didn't. She just waddled by herself back to the mascot igloo. On her way, she was stopped by Rossie and Klenn. 'Dot, will you marry me?' asked Rossie. 'No, you have a child and I'm father. You should marry me!' boasted Klenn. Dot stood there, in a stare, she didn't know who should she go with. Back at the party, Cadence got a phone call from PH. 'Hey Cadence. You should be here as soon as possible.' said PH before hanging up. Cadence stood in the Dance Club, staring into space.

Author note:

Hi everybody. So what I left it on a cliffhanger but it's A-ok. The reason I left it there is because YOU guys get to decide WHO WILL DOT MARRY? DUN DUN DUN!

Should Dot go with:

her heart (Klenn)

or

her head (Rossie)
