A little while later, Master Frown arrived at Unikitty's castle. He called for the Princess but no one replied.

"Ah..." he sighed. "Wrong timing, even time does not approve of my crush on the Prin-"

"Frown?!? What are YOU doing here?" came a voice.

Master Frown let out a loud 'AH!' as he turned around and saw Richard floating behind him.

"Block dude?!? What are YOU doing here?" Master Frown exclaimed.

"The name's Richard. Folks call me 'Rick' or 'Rich'." Richard replied. "I came back to retrieve something I've forgotten to bring along with me. And what brings YOU here, Frown?"

"I... have something to negotiate with the Princess-where is she? And where are her bingleberry friends?" asked Master Frown.

"The Princess's friends are NOT bingleberries, you moron." Richard said with a calm tone. "They, along with the Princess, had just went out for dessert."

"Oh fiddlesticks!" Master Frown snapped and stomped his foot on the ground. "Well, YOU better catch up to them-or you'll end up here, bored and alone."

"Is this an excuse-or are you CONCERNED about me?" Richard asked with a smug smile on his face.

"Pfft, no! I'm more concerned about the Princess than you-"

"What did you just say?" asked Richard cunningly.

"Uhh, no, I did not say anything!" Master Frown said as he covered his mouth with a hand. "This must be your hallucination!"

"Well, if it really is my hallucination, then explain the bag of cookies in your hand."

Master Frown immediately hid the bag of cookies behind his back.

"They- they're my desserts-totally not for anybody!" said Master Frown, sweating.

"Ah..." sighed Richard. "Just come in. We HAVE to talk."

"Wait, wha-"

Richard didn't wait for Master Frown to reply. He managed to drag him into the castle and into his room.

Master Frown didn't look very pleased.

"Where are you taking me to? And where is this place?" He asked impatiently.

"This is the room of yours truly. Have a seat, Frown." said Richard as he offered him a stool. Master Frown didn't hesitate and sat on it.

"So... why am I here, umm... Richard?" asked Master Frown. "What's the purpose of my involvement?"

"Well, I'm gonna ask you a very serious question, Frown, so please answer with sincerity." Richard said with a strict and serious face. "Understood?"

"Understood." Master Frown said with a sigh.

"Do you have a crush on the Princess?"

Instantly and unknowingly, Master Frown blushed bright red.

"Tell me, Frown, don't ya' DARE lie. I have a phd in psychometry." said Richard.

"Well, YES, yes I do." said Master Frown with a frightened tone. "I am very SERIOUS about this, are ya' HAPPY now?"

"Well, not only am I happy-I'm also impressed, about your honesty-and also proud of myself since I've already expected this for a long time." Richard explained.

"WHAT?!?" Master Frown shrieked.

"Ha! I'm the only adult among the five of us-and I'm considered the wisest-if not the smartest." Richard said smugly. "You seem to stumble upon your words, sweat and blush. So, there's NO doubt that you're in love... But why choose the Princess?"

"Umm... well... she's a total goofball-but this is what made her adorable. Unikitty is a unique individual. She can cheer up almost anyone-which secretly included me. Her carefree attitude and optimism is what turned me on! Well, since I've never experienced such happiness throughout my whole life..."

"Huh?" Richard asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. I don't wanna talk about this. Well, Unikitty is the only one who's able to actually lift up my spirit-and I appreciate it."

"But, why make fun of her and hide your true feelings?" Richard asked.

"I make fun of her to seek her reaction. I hide my feeling because I don't think she'll ever accept my love and affection towards her-for I'm a chaos-creating Doom Lord. Additionally, I don't wanna make a bad impression on my superiors. They watch my every move. I'm very sure that they'll never forgive me for dating a do-gooder-which is also a PRINCESS."

"I understand you, Frown." said Richard. "For I haven't even told my beloved that I love her."

"Wait-YOU have a CRUSH?!?" Master Frown exclaimed.

"Yeah, and I'll tell you about the story a little later. For now, I just wanna calm down and listen to my recordings."

Master Frown looked at Richard for a moment. He really did look sad and bored like he said he'd become. With a sigh, he reached into his bag-

...and took out a cookie.

"Hey." Master Frown called him.

"What is it?" Richard replied.

"Want a cookie? You may need one. It's my roommates world-famous chocolate chip delight. You'd enjoy them-even I enjoy them." Master Frown said as he offered him the cookie he took out of his bag. "For us, and our cowardliness."

Richard was surprised, but accepted the offer.

"Thanks, Master Frown." said Richard as he gratefully took the cookie. "Unikitty is right. There really is some good in you."

"She thinks it that way?" asked Master Frown as he took out another cookie from his bag and took a bite out of it.

"Yeah, she does. And I think she appreciates your usual accompany-even if they're bad." said Richard as he took a bite out of his cookie.

"You mean, she likes my accompany? And she's happy that I exist in her life?" Master Frown asked.

"Yeah." Richard agreed. "Oh, this cookie really is good! One of the best that I've ever tasted! Tell Brock that I'll be ordering five tins of these delicious delights. Here, take these tins and my money."

"Wow, I'll tell him immediately after I return to our apartment. Golly, it seems that I don't have to worry much about this month's rent! Thanks, friend!"

"Friend?" Richard asked to make sure Master Frown isn't saying it wrongly.

"Oh, yes, friend..." said Master Frown with a smile. "I think I really need more friends-especially the ones like you. And since it really is you, I'll totally appreciate our friendship!"

"Hope you will." said Richard.

For the first time, Master Frown gave Richard a friendly smile-Richard smiled back at him.

"Hope we get to tell our own beloveds our true feelings someday." said Master Frown.

"Yeah, wish ya' luck." said Richard with a wink.

"Thanks." Master Frown replied with a wink.

Richard smiled back as a sign of 'you're welcome'.

A little while later, Richard happily sent Master Frown back home and continued listening to 'The History Of The Paper Clip'-completely forgetting about catching up with Unikitty and her friends.
