Back at Audubon, Anneliese was asleep as well, with the memory of our lunch fresh inside her head, which she rested on her desk.

While Serafina slept, curled up in her bed, she heard a squeak coming for a toy mouse, which came passing by.

"I may be dainty," she said to herself. "But how can I resist?"

Serafina took chase after the mouse through the hall, down the stairs, and outside, where she caught the mouse...but found herself crated by Nick, who said. "Well, that was easy, was it, Nack?"

"Oh, Nick?" said Nack, who bonked Nick on the head once he came over. "Our job is to capture the princess...not her cat!"

"I knew that." said Nick, whose mind went blank immediately. "What'd we get the cat for?"

"Permit me to demonstrate...idiot!" said Nack, who went to the crate, which he shook, making Serafina meow that woke Anneliese up.

"Serafina?" she called. "Serafina, where are you?"

Anneliese left her room and hurried down the stairs, calling. "Serafina, come here, girl. Come here, kitty!"

Upon exiting the palace, she spotted the crate in front of her.

"Serafina?" Anneliese said upon seeing her cat in there.

But before she could lift it up, Nick and Nack snuck up from behind, sacking her.


Preminger answered his phone straight away when he heard it ringing.

"Success?" he asked.

"Signed and sealed, Mr. Preminger!" replied Nack.

"Does she know who's really behind this?" asked Preminger.

"Not a clue." Nack replied back.

"Good!" said Preminger. "Take her to...Maximilian Enterprises...and keep her there until the wedding to King Dominick is cancelled. Then, we'll see whom the princess marries!"

As he spoke, his phone rang again.

"Oh! Sorry to cut you off, but I have to take this next call." Preminger said, ending his call with Nack and accepting the other.

"Hello!" he called.

"The Golden Asteroids have been obtained." replied Maximilian I.Q.

"Oh, splendid." cooed Preminger. "When can I expect to see them?"

"By tomorrow afternoon." Maximilian I.Q. replied back.

An evil, greedy smile crossed Preminger's face as he said. "Looking forward to it."
