"Brock! Open the door! Quick!" Master Frown knocked repeatedly on the front door as Brock opened it.

"Dude, what took you so long..." Brock asked, yawning tiredly. "It's already twelve in the midnight..."

"I'll explain later," Master Frown replied as he quickly shut the door, sighing in relief.

"Dude, are you okay?" Brock asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, I think..." Master Frown replied, panting hard.

"Sit down, and relax..." Brock tried to soothe him as he brought him a cup of hot tea.

"Thanks, Brock..." Master Frown replied, as he took a sip.

The guys sat down on the couch, as Master Frown sighed.

"Did the confession go well?" Brock asked.

"Yeah!" Master Frown replied, suddenly feeling a lot better. "Unikitty actually liked me back!"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaa..." Brock held his face with shock. "That's great news! So, the two of you are together now?"

"Yeah..." Master Frown replied, as his face fell.

"What's wrong?" Brock asked as he remembered something. "Oh, the Doom Lords..."

"Yep," Master Frown replied. "I'm no longer with them anymore."

"They...fired you...?" Brock asked, as Master Frown sighed.

"No, I quit the job myself." Master Frown replied.

"At least you're happy- aren't you...?" Brock asked.

"Yeah, I am," Master Frown replied. "But I'm kinda concerned as well..."

"About who?"

"The Doom Lords."

Brock couldn't believe what he just heard.

"THEM?!?" Brock shouted in disbelief. "They're complete jerks!"

"Maybe they're actually not..." Master Frown replied, as Brock looked at him with suspicion.

"What do you mean?" Brock asked.

"I don't know, but..." Master Frown replied. "They've been acting really weird lately. I mean- they're always acting weird! At times, they're nice- and then- BOOM, they're evil again."

"Huh?" Brock asked in disbelief. 

"Master Doom even said she yearned to make FrownTown HAPPY!" Master Frown said.

"You're kiddin' me, right?" Brock asked, still couldn't believe what he heard.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Master Frown asked back as he remembered something.

He held his head, moaning and groaning as Brock asked what happened.

"Why didn't I think of this earlier?!?" Master Frown said. "Unikitty has a royal scientist fox! I could've asked her from the very beginning!"

"Oh yeah, I didn't think about it before too..." Brock said, scratching his head. "But, do you think she'll be happy to help you, since you've been a threat to the Unikingdom for years?"

"I don't know, but I'll try..." Master Frown replied. "Come, let's go to sleep..."

The guys washed themselves as they went on their bed. Master Frown closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, but Brock seemed like he couldn't sleep at all.

"Hey, are you okay?" Master Frown asked. "What's the matter?"

"I miss mom, and dad too..." Brock replied. "I hope we could visit them someday..."

"Yeah," Master Frown replied, remembering about Unikitty's words,

"Your mother's a good person, Master Frown. Do visit her and Crankybeard whenever you have the time to."

Master Frown smiled, he too missed them dearly.

"I miss mom's kisses..." Brock said with a sad look.

"Huh, really?" Master Frown asked. "That's cute."

Brock's face didn't seem to change. Master Frown sighed and gave his foster brother a kiss on his cheek.

Brock seemed rather surprised.

"Go to sleep..." Master Frown said. "If you don't sleep, then I won't sleep as well."

"Okay, brother!" Brock replied with a cheery smile, as he slept in an instant.

Master Frown smiled, preparing to sleep as well. But then, he remembered about Master Doom's card and quietly took it out along with the others.

Master Frown kept the other cards in his drawer as he read Master Doom's.

"If you're reading this, then...good, I really did write this- I think... I don't know, it's just- I keep...forgetting who I really am! I keep forgetting stuff, and I don't even remember the things I did... I didn't even know why! My head aches like mad, like- always! Help me, Michael, please! And help me take care of my fellow Bloom Lords, they deserve more love. Oh, and tell Piper Joe that- that... I have a crush on him too... He's just so cute! I hope I know what I'm doing right now... So... well... bye, Michael, get in touch often...
-SOS, Madelaine Esther Doom."

Master Frown was shocked. He couldn't sleep that night.

"Master Doom..." he mumbled. "Wha- What exactly happened..."
