NOTE: This is based on the episode "WhoBob WhatPants" from SpongeBoob Squarepants.
Hilda: (frantically jumps out of bed and bounces off walls landing in front of Twig) Good morning, Twig! (looks out window) Good morning, Mr. Mailman!
Mailman: Morning, Hilda. Ah, it is a good morning, isn't it? (crashes into a truck on his bicycle and flies across the sky, screaming)
Hilda: Isn't life great, Twig? Oh, what a beautiful day. I have the best friends, best mother, and of course, the best pet. (hugs Twig)
Twig: Bark! (Hilda hugs Twig so hard his back breaks) Grrr! (viciously snarls at Hilda and then he violently attacks her. Hilda runs through the wall of the apartment while yelling.)
Hilda: I'm sorry, Twig! I'm sorry! (runs into David)
David: Hi, Hilda.
Hilda: Hey, David! How's your day going?
David: Well, it was going great until you showed up. (turns around and shows a cake splattered on his shirt.)
Hilda: What's that?
David: Oh, just a birthday cake for my mom (in an angry tone and throws the ruined cake on the ground) that I spent all day baking! (angrily walks back inside his house as Hilda looks down glumly at the ruined birthday cake. David furiously opens the door.) Now, if you excuse me, I have to make another cake and deliver it to my mom a day late! Idiot girl. (angrily closes the door again. Hilda is confused by his best friend's behavior towards her.)
Hilda: Oh, that's the first time someone's called me that. Wait, I know who will enjoy my company. (Hilda goes to visit Alfur.)
Hilda: Hey, Alfur!
Alfur: (angrily gets in Hilda's face, annoyed) Don't you ever wake me up from my beauty sleep! It's bad enough you're making loud noises every day. Do you understand? Idiot girl. (He violently shuts the door of his small house, causing Hilda to frown. The scene cuts to Frida's house, where Frida is trying a new kind of magic.)
Frida: It's all done! My greatest creation yet! (she summons a creature made out of sticks. It starts to tap dance while whistling.) Perfect! I shall call you Luke!
Hilda: Frida! What a neat creature! (Hilda accidentally trips on a lantern. Some of the fire from inside of it starts flying towards Luke.)
Frida: No...! (The fire lands on Luke's head. It tried to stop, drop, and roll, but it was too late as Luke eventually burned up. The sticks turned into ashes.)
Hilda: Let me explain. You see... I was passing by the tree, and I thought it'd be funny if I gave you a surprise.
Frida: Oh, you gave me a surprise, alright. LOOK AT THE SURPRISE I GOT! (she furiously shows the destroyed stickman's head then angrily pushes Hilda out) Get out of here, idiot girl! (angrily shuts her door)
Hilda: (sniffles) I guess that means there's only one place left to go- a place where I am wanted wherever they like it or not! (Cut to the Sparrow Scout Hall) Hi, mom. I'm ready to earn another badge.
Johanna: Stay safe and don't cause any trouble, Hilda!
Hilda: No worries! (Hilda trips on some frying pans) Oops, well, all in a day's work. Now, back to doing what I do best! No way I can mess this up... (Hilda slides on a puddle of water and starts screaming)
(A few minutes later, Johanna was helping the Raven Leader set up a banner to welcome new arrivals for Sparrow Scouts. She heard her daughter screaming.)
Johanna: Don't worry, Hilda! I'm coming! (she starts rushing to where her daughter is.)
Hilda: Mom! (Hilda slides and accidentally hits Johanna. Johanna falls in the fryer of the kitchen and gets out immediately.)
Johanna: GAAAAAHHHH!
Hilda: (panicky) Mom! (picks her up) Mom, are you okay?
(Johanna only responded with an angry stare. Hilda laughs nervously and Johanna angrily growls at her. Outside, the Sparrow Scout Hall the double doors swing open. Hilda lands across the street and Johanna holds onto the double doors extremely enraged after kicking Hilda out.)
Johanna: If I were you, I'd get as far away from me as possible, IDIOT GIRL! (After she angrily slams the door, she furiously turns away, as dramatic music cues in the background. Hilda is shocked and alarmed.)
Hilda: (curls up into a little ball and her eyes well up with tears) I guess that's it, then. If Mom is calling me "Idiot Girl," it must be true, I know what must be done! (Hilda starts crying, her tears create a river that leads him to her apartment. At her room, she is still crying, and she packs her clothes in a Bindle) I somehow managed to make everyone mad at me. At least you still like me, right, Twig?
(We see Twig chewing on a bandage on his back. He angrily hisses at Hilda)
Hilda: (sighs) I'll miss you too, buddy. There's a year's supply of food for you. (walks out of the apartment and turns around) Goodbye, home. (the chimney blows Hilda up in the sky) Goodbye, Alfur. Goodbye, David. Goodbye, Frida. Goodbye, Trolberg. Goodbye, life as I know it. (he lands on the road next to the sign) "Welcome to Trolberg. Population: 538." (crosses out the "8" with a chalk and puts a "7" next to it) Minus 1. (she takes one last look back at the town) Goodbye, Mom. (she leaves Trolberg down the road muttering the same words her friends and mother said to her) Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl, Idiot Girl... (that night, Hilda is scared by a bunch of very weird people. During this whole scene, a scallop is crowing while she sees the weird people. She runs for her life, but falls off the cliff screaming while upside down, causing her to hit her head on a bunch of rocks until she reaches the bottom of the cliff. Now she's got a long bump on his head.) Oooh, that's quite a lump! Better be careful with my head. That'll knock me out cold! (Hilda's hobo stick, containing the things that she packed, hits her on the head, causing him to faint. Cut to David, who is knocking on the apartment's door and drinking a milkshake.)
Frida: (worried) David, where's Hilda? I got concerned for her during today's Sparrow Scout meeting. She didn't even show up.
David: I don't know. I've been knocking on her door for two minutes. I feel bad for lashing out at her earlier, so I came to apologize. (drinks his milkshake)
Frida: Wait, you yelled at her too? Geez. Hilda had a very bad day today. (confused) She hasn't heard you knocking all?
David: Not really. I find that odd. You think we should get Tontu to get us through to the apartment?
Frida: We ain't got time for that. Hi-yah! (bursts through the door)
Twig: Ow...
Frida: Twig? Where are you, little guy? (searches for Twig)
Twig: Ow...
Frida: Twig? Twig? (bumps on something. She gasps when she sees Twig now fat and round.)
Twig: Bark…
Frida: Twig! What happened to you?
Twig: Mrlooooooowrooowroowrooow. (Frida sees a note on Twig's food bowl)
Frida: A note. (picks up the note and reads it) To whom it may concern: if you found this letter, that means Twig's food bowl is empty and that it needs to be refilled. It also means it's been approximately one year since I've split town, and no one's noticed 'til now. No one needs to worry, I won't bother anyone again. Sincerely, Hilda. A.K.A. Idiot Girl. (David and Frida look at each other sadly in guilt. Suddenly, Alfur is heard exiting his mini-house.)
Alfur: Hilda? Are you here? (holds some cake) I came here with this apology cake I made to make up for me yelling at you. It was wrong of me to do that.
(Awkward silence is given as he examines Frida, David, and the now-fat Twig.)
Alfur: Where did she go?
(David grabs Alfur)
David: No time to explain! We need to find her mom!
(The two kids and elf left Hilda's room. Cut to Hilda, who wakes up when she hears villagers)
Harold: I could use this.
George: Yeah, I like these here.
Harold: This is top quality.
Hilda: Hello there. (the villagers gasp) What's going on?
Harold: Oh, we thought you were taking a dirt nap, but we organized your clothes for you... Hilda.
Hilda: (having forgotten who she is, Hilda looks behind herself, then turns around to the villagers) Are you talking to me?
George: Isn't this your name? (shows her nametag)
Hilda: I don't know, is it?
Harold: You're kidding, right?
George: Wait. You don't know your name?
Hilda: All I know is that I hit my head on some rocks! Now I can't seem to remember anything.
(The two boys were confused.)
Harold: Err, well, then I'll remind you that these are not your clothes, and your name isn't Hilda, it's, umm... it's... Kiara. Ha ha! That's it!
Hilda: (now Kiara) Kiara, huh? Well, can the two of you show me where I am?
Harold: Actually, we were just leaving. We got to head back to our parents. They are worried sick about us.
George: But here's what we can tell you. (points to a town) You see that place over there?
Kiara: Uh, yeah?
Harold: It's called "Townsdale". If you go a hard right, you will reach the entrance of the city. It welcome new lives there.
Kiara: Understandable. (starts making her way to the town) Farewell, you two.
George and Harold: Farewell, Kiara.
(Meanwhile at Trolberg, The Sparrow Scout Hall was in chaos. Ever since Hilda hadn't shown up to the meeting, kids were fighting each other. Johanna tried to bring things under control, but she had no luck.)
Johanna: No! No! Kid, stop biting your sister!
(One kid lit up some dynamite and blew up a wall in the hall. Suddenly, Frida and David burst through the doors. Ignoring the constant destruction, they hurried to find Johanna. They eventually found her breathing in and out while sitting on a chair.)
Frida: Hilda's mom! Have you seen your daughter anywhere?
Johanna: Not really. After I threw her out of the Sparrow Scouts Hall, I went back to our home to apologize for my outburst, but she wasn't there. I assumed she was walking around town to relieve her stress, so I had to help the Raven Leader make the next Sparrow Scouts meeting before I went to find her.
Frida: Well, apparently, she's left Trolberg, and she isn't coming back. (hands Johanna the note)
Johanna: Let me see that. (begins to read) To whom that may concern, (muttering) ...aka... aka? Idiot Girl? (shocked) Idiot Girl?! (horrified, she realizes that the letter was written by Hilda because everyone called her Idiot Girl) It is Hilda! What am I going to do without my only daughter?!
David: What am I going to do without my best friend?! I should never have been mean to you! (starts to cry)
Frida: I should have never kicked you out of my house! (starts to cry as well.)
Alfur: (voice breaking) If I'd known that was the last time I'd see Hilda, I would have given her the biggest hug I can make since I never had a great friend like her! (While he, David and Frida are still crying. Johanna starts bringing the two kids and elf to the car.)
Raven Leader: (confused) Where are you going, Johanna?! The Sparrow Scouts meeting has to be organize—
(She got interrupted as Johanna ran her over with the car.)
Johanna: Sorry, but I need my daughter! (to the others) When we get back to the apartment, we plan how we will get Hilda back!
(Cut to Kiara in the streets of Townsdale.)
Kiara: Whoo, I live in a dump! (bumps into a random boy)
Boy: Hey punk, watch where you're stepping!
Kiara: Sorry, sir, I was just-
Boy: I know what you was doing, you was doing the old "bump into the sucker and reach into his pockets and take his change" routine! Well, it ain't gonna work this time!
(The boy pepper sprays Kiara in the eyes. The girl yells in pain as she rubs her eyes.)
Boy: You want money? Get a job, you deadbeat.
(Kiara finished rubbing her eyes, which became red. Her hair was also a mess.)
Kiara: I'm a jobless deadbeat? What a sad existence I don't remember I lead. (Suddenly, her stomach growled.) Ooh, seems like I'm running on empty. (checks her pockets and sighs) Not a penny to my name. Well, I guess if I want to fill the hole in my gut, I'll need to fill a job somewhere. (checks a bank sign that says "Help Wanted") Hello, job opportunity!
Lisa: Well, Ms. Kiara... you seem to have left this entire application blank.
Kiara: (laughs) I can't remember a thing.
Lisa: Well, do you have any special skills?
Kiara: Special skills... oh, I can do this! (climbs up a tree and performs a handstand on one of the branches) Will stuff like this do?
Lisa: No. Not really. I'm afraid to cut this short, but there's a long line behind you that are applying for this position. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. Security! (A police officer grabs Kiara and kicks her out. Kiara flies out of the bank, falling face first onto the ground)
Cop: And stay out!
(Police officer shuts door)
Kiara: Okay, that was a bust. Let's try another one. (Soon, she is seen working as a cafeteria employee.) This seems easy enough to do. Providing food for these people won't be a challenge.
(After she handed out some shrimp to a woman, she noticed that the cafeteria ran out of food. It wasn't until a teenage boy got in line.)
Teen Boy: So, what is there to eat?
(Kiara got nervous for a bit since there wasn't any food left. However, she noticed a cucumber sandwich right next to her. She handed it to the boy.)
Kiara: We got this. Hope you like it.
(The boy chomped on the sandwich. He smiled after taking a bite. Kiara smiled as well until the boy fell on the ground. His sister checked his pulse. The boy didn't respond. The girl got angry at Kiara.)
Girl: He's allergic to cucumbers! You killed him!
Kiara: Wait! I can explain!
(The girl felt heavy footsteps behind her. She turned to see angry policewoman glaring at her. Kiara chuckled before running out of the building. Police sirens were heard. Eventually, Kiara is walking on the streets.)
Kiara: I do not understand this. All the deeds I tried doing here for good makes things worse. What is wrong with this city? Maybe it's not the city. Maybe it's me. (looks at a senior citizen) Hey, mister, Look at me! Mister, look at me! Is there something wrong with me? (shows a cute sad close-up of her face, then the old man gets a heart attack and falls down the sewer hole. Cut to Hilda's apartment)
Frida: Listen up! I got a plan to bring back Hilda.
Johanna: (with tears in her eyes) You do?
Frida: Yup. Based on my Sparrow Scout training, I have found the solution to locate her.
David: What's the solution?
Frida: That's quite easy. First, we must retrace her steps. First, she had fed Twig, then ruined the cake David made for his mom, disturbed Alfur's sleep, (starts becoming stressed) destroyed my stickman creation, and thrown her own mom into the fryers.
David: (sad) You know, Hilda wouldn't do these things on purpose.
Alfur: Quite true. She's a good girl to us all. Even if she does cause problems for us, she still means well.
Johanna: You're telling me. Ever since she went on that adventure with Anders, I felt that was quite a stupid thing she did, but she only wanted to reconnect with her dad.
Alfur: What do you think Hilda did next after that Sparrow Scout incident?
Frida: Based on this note, she left Trolberg to search for a new home. We might have to go outside to look for her.
Johanna: (inhales sharply) I hate to bring this up, but I'm afraid I can't come with you all.
(The others gasp)
David: Why not?! Hilda's your kid!
Johanna: I'm aware of that! But the thing is, I have to settle things with the Raven Leader. She threatened to sue me for running her over unless I arrange the Sparrow Scout meeting that was ruined last night! (sighs) I wish I could join you in finding my baby.
(David puts a hand on Johanna's shoulder.)
David: Hey, don't worry. We'll find her. We'll bring her back safe and sound so we can all apologize for what we did.
Frida: Yeah. Everyone had a nasty day yesterday, but it wasn't because of Hilda. It was because of us.
(Johanna gave a sad smile.)
Johanna: You're right. You all must get going. Who knows how much time we have left before something happens to her?
Alfur: Come on! We got a friend in need!
(Everyone headed outside the apartment. Johanna drove in her car as the others walked out of Trolberg. Cut to Kiara, who is cold in the streets of Townsdale. The girl was shivering. She goes to get warm near a barrel fire.)
Homeless Kid #1: Real drag, isn't it? Having to stand around the fire for warmth every night?
Kiara: Yeah.
Homeless Kid #2: Yup. It sucks. Not enough fire for all of us to get warm here.
(More homeless people are gathered and shiver from the cold. Kiara looks at the homeless people and gets a look of determination. She can't just let these people freeze to death. She gathers some wood from the ground and starts making them a fire on each barrel. The others get curious about this. The two homeless kids that Kiara spoke to earlier helped gather some barrels to store the fires in. In no time at all, Hilda managed to make enough fires for warmth. The homeless people cheer.)
Homeless Kid #1: Whoa. I was not expecting that.
Homeless Kid # 2: That has got to be the fastest person I have seen to provide support for us!
Homeless Woman: Thank you so much, kid! We owe you one!
Kiara: Heh, it was nothing. (in head) Why I do get the strange feeling I do stuff like this before?
(Suddenly, some snapping was heard in a rhythm. Everyone panicked and scattered in many directions except for Kiara. The fires were put out by the winds. Everything was dark.)
Kiara: What are you doing? Where are you going?
(The snapping got closer. Kiara noticed some gangster girls snapping their fingers. They wore leather jackets, brass knuckles, motor boots, and ear piercings. Kiara got nervous as the girls moved in her direction. She backed up near a trash can, which the presumed leader of the gangster girls popped up. They got closer to Kiara. Eventually, a tall gangster girl grabbed Kiara's arms to avoid letting her escape. The other gangster girls caught up to Kiara.)
Gangster Girl Leader: Do you have any... (the others continue snapping) I think we've made our point with the snapping! (They stop snapping) As I was saying... do you have any idea who we are?
Kiara: Um, wait... err, um... don't tell me, um...
Gangster Girl Leader: Don't answer. (laughs) I'll show ya. (turns around to show the back of her jacker, which says "Gnarly Girls") We call us the Gnarly Girls. And article one of our charter states no trespassers on our turf! Fortunately, we have ways of dealing with careless kids like you. (pulls out a dagger) Let's rough her up, girls! (the gang is ready to assault Kiara, but she bites one of the fingers of the tall girl and runs away)
Gnarly Girls Leader: Where'd she go? (sees her run) After her!
(Kiara tries to hide from the Gnarly Girls, but they surround her. She notices a ladder that leads to a hot air balloon. Kiara climbs on it and enables the hot air balloon. It starts flying.)
Kiara: Ah, I'll be making this getaway in comfort. (The Gnarly Girls try to shoot down the hot air balloon with guns. Kiara tries to float away, but one of the bullets pops the hot air balloon, causing her to fall. The girl felt her ankle being sprained from the fall. The Gnarly Girls are running towards her. Kiara, with her remaining strength, tries to pull out a sewer lid. She opens it just in time for the Gnarly Girls to fall to their doom. One by one, they screamed as they all fell to their deaths. Kiara sighed in relief as she closed the sewer lid.)
Man: You... you did it! (grunts and runs over to Kiara) Do you realize what you've done?
Kiara: No.
Man: You have freed the town. Citzens of Townsdale, come out of the shadows, 'cause Claire kicked the Gnarly Girls right out of town! (All of the citizens of Townsdale come out and cheer.)
All: Thank you, Claire!
Man #2: What an amazing gift Claire has given us.
Kiara: Actually, it's Kiara. (a limo appears. Its horn honks as a window rolls down, and the mayor of Townsdale appears)
Mayor: (shakes the girl's hand) Well, Kiara, this is a historic day for Townsdale. You have rid this city of the Gnarly Girls, and restored order to the streets. (laughs) Something I couldn't do for 20 years as mayor. For this, I appoint you... (puts his hat on Kiara's head) mayor of Townsdale!
All: (lifting Kiara) All hail Mayor Kiara!
(Mayor Kiara smiles while shedding tears of joy. Cut to David, Frida and Alfur, who are still searching for their friend.)
Frida: Hilda!
David: Hilda!
Alfur: Hilda, where are you?!
Frida: Hilda! (points at the truck stop) Maybe someone at that truck stop has seen our porous little friend.
David: Hilda! (they walk to the truck stop)
Alfur: There she is, guys!
David: Huh? Hilda! (laughs and runs into a random little girl resembling Hilda) Oh, I knew I'd find you, buddy! Look at you. You haven't changed a bit. Let's go home and eat a bag of sweets.
Frida: That's not Hilda, David. (David drops the little girl) Here's Hilda. (She points to the newspaper carrier)
David: (yells) I'll get ya out of this cage, buddy! (breaks the glass with a brick and hugs the newspaper) You're safe now in my arms. (notices that the picture of Hilda on the newspaper is gone) Huh? Where'd you go now? (cries)
Frida: Uh, David? All the ink came off on your shirt.
David: Oh.
Frida: Now let's see what she is up to. (reads) New mayor of... (gasps) Hilda's mayor of Townsdale!
(Bubble transition to Mayor Kiara giving a speech to the citizens with a gleeful David, a surprised Frida, and confused Alfur in the audience.)
Mayor Kiara: Citizens of Townsdale. I don't know much about politics or balanced budgets or how to be a "leader." I'm not exactly sure what a "mayor…" is. But I do know this, while I am wearing the mayor's hat, it will always be safe to live in Townsdale or my name isn't Kiara. (the crowd cheers)
Frida: Kiara?
Man #3: Townsdale has Kiara mania. (some people rip off their own clothes to show them wearing the same clothes like the mayor's.)
Mayor Kiara: (smirks) Can't say I blame you.
(After that, everyone cheers until Frida interrupts.)
Frida: Hang on a minute. I don't mean to put a damper on the mood here, but Trolberg needs you back, Hilda.
Mayor Kiara: What's that?
Frida: Well, I'm sorry I yelled at you, buddy. It was wrong for me to get angry at you for an accident you didn't mean to cause.
Mayor Kiara: Oh, this is a surprise.
Frida: Surprised I found you?
Mayor Kiara: No, surprised at seeing a girl like you breaking in a mayor's speech.
Frida: (gasps) It's me, Frida. Don't pretend you don't remember me, Hilda.
Mayor Kiara: Sorry, Frida. But I'd probably remember someone else I'm familiar with.
David: What about me, Hilda? You have got to recognize me. Remember when you taught me to be brave? How you got rid of my nightmares? I even listen to soft rock!
(Crickets chirp in the awkward silence.)
Mayor Kiara: I have no idea where you got those stories from. All I remember is hitting my head, fighting some gangster girls, and now, poof, I'm mayor.
Frida: You must've lost your memory when you hit your head. You'll just have to come back with us to Trolberg. The familiar surroundings will bring your memory right back.
Mayor Kiara: Uh, sorry, kid, I can't leave. These people need my leadership. In fact, I'm late for a meeting.
Frida: (Mayor Kiara enters a limo) Hilda, wait! (as the limo leaves it turns around, which reveals Alfur is the one driving.)
Alfur: Don't just stand there, get in!
Frida: Alfur?
Alfur: Hurry up! (David and Frida enter the limo) Next stop, home! (limo is leaving Townsdale, then reaches Trolberg)
Frida: Here it is! You must recognize this place.
Mayor Kiara: Nope.
(Before anything else happened, Mayor Kiara was suddenly grabbed. She looked up to see it was Johanna hugging her.)
Johanna: (shedding tears) Oh, Hilda! It's a miracle you are back home safe!
Mayor Kiara: Uh. Nice to meet you, lady. I know I'm mayor, but I need personal space.
Johanna: But Hilda. It's me. Your mother!
Mayor Kiara: Wait, I have a mother? That is nice.
(This was enough to make Johanna upset.)
Johanna: You don't remember this place? Maybe this will help? (gives Kiara a picture of her and Johanna in the house they lived in the wilderness before moving to Trolberg.)
Mayor Kiara: Wait, you mean to tell me I lived as a wild girl before?
Johanna: Yes. It was your whole life there ever since you were born. Well, until our house got destroyed and we moved here. But you made several memories and friends here.
David and Frida: Including us!
(David and Frida squeezed in the hug of Mayor Kiara and her mother.)
David: Remember how you taught me that I need to be brave? I died twice that night, but I never felt so alive!
Frida: And remember how we all fought those monsters to help retrieve my book? It shows you have faith! And I appreciate that!
(Mayor Kiara starts to get uncomfortable.)
Mayor Kiara: Look, guys, as much as I'd love to be here to chat, (leaves) I think I'll just go back to my modest job as mayor of a major town.
Alfur: What?! (gets on Kiara's shoulder) Hilda, you can't leave! This is your home! Besides, you are too young to be mayor! It'd be too much stress for a little girl like you!
Mayor Kiara: (annoyed) Look, Jiminy Cricket, this may have been home, but I don't think I live here anymore. My place is in Townsdale. They need me, and I need them!
Alfur: But we need you! You're not leaving, and we won't allow it!
(Mayor Kiara has had enough. She flicked Alfur away with her fingers. What happened next was that he landed near some books on a bookshelf. They fell on each other on dominos. Eventually, a bowling ball starts moving. When Hilda the mayor is at the exit door of the apartment, the bowling ball hits her on the head. A bump rises on Hilda's head as she moans in pain.)
Frida: You okay, Hilda?
Hilda: Yeah, just a bit of a headache, Frida- (She rubs her eyes and looks at her friends and the apartment and realized that her memory is coming back) Hey, I remember this place!
Frida: Hilda's back!
Johanna: Hilda! It's a miracle you have returned to us! We're sorry we ran you out of Trolberg. We shouldn't have scolded you that harshly. The important thing is that you are safe and back home.
Hilda: Thanks, Mom. I'd really love to stay, but the people of Townsdale need their mayor. (put on the mayor hat again) Goodbye, everyone.
Frida, Johanna, and David: What? / Huh? / Oh, not again.
Alfur: Aw, come on!
Perch Perkins: (before Hilda leaves) Stop what you're doing and don't go out that door. (Hilda stops and looks at the TV in the kitchen table) This is a KNKC special report. Panic in the streets of Townsdale as rampant chaos. The angry citizens here blame the apocalyptic scene on Mayor Kiara. (gets punched aside by another muscular thug)
Thug: If I ever see Mayor Kiara again, I'm gonna grab her little blue haired head and literally rip her—! (screen changes to "We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties. Share the frustration.")
Johanna: Where's Hilda?
Hilda: (whistles) Hey, everyone! What are you waiting around for? Let's go outside!
(Everyone smiles as they join Hilda to exit the apartment. They all got on top of a hill, witnessing the beautiful night. Some Woffs were flying nearby.)
Hilda: (sighs) This is the life. Who would want to be a mayor over being an adventurer? This is who I am. I'm grateful for you guys looking for me after I ran out of town. I know I forgave you, but honestly this is my fault for running away in the first place. I'm sorry for ruining your day and for leaving home. Even if I did become mayor and live in a new home, one thing's for sure.
Alfur: What's that, Hilda?
Hilda: I'd rather live here as an adventurer in Trolberg.
(David gives Hilda a playful noogie.)
Frida: It's great to have you back home, Hilda.
(Johanna gives her daughter a kiss on her cheek. Alfur gets on Hilda's shoulder.)
Hilda: (sighs) Looks like I'm back for good.
