35

"Come on, Brock." Master Frown called him as he sighed. "Let's go to the Unikingdom."

Brock looked at him in the eyes and smiled.

"You really wanna quit evil, huh?" Brock asked to make sure.

"Yes," Master Frown- no- Michael replied. "I even prepared my apology. It's all in this note."

Michael looked at Brock with sincere eyes, as his foster brother patted him on the back.

"Trust me," Brock said. "You'll be forgiven."

Michael smiled wide. His confidence rose.

It was quite a long drive to the Unikingdom that day, as Michael decided to take it slow and steady.

"You're still a little nervous, I see." Brock said.

"Kinda..." Michael replied, rubbing off his sweat. "I've been making fun of them and tormenting their kingdom for years, I don't think they'll forgive me that easily- especially Hawkodile..."

"I understand how you feel, dude," Brock said, patting Michael on the back once more. "But you gotta stay strong."

Michael took a deep breath and looked at Brock.

"I will." Michael replied with a smile as Brock smiled back.

They finally reached the Unikingdom as Michael, with a sigh, knocked on the castle's front door.

A little later, someone familiar opened the door. Unlucky for Michael, it's Hawkodile.

"Frown, what do you want from us?" Hawkodile asked alertedly. "You're not getting away this time!"

"Wait wait wait!" Michael put his arms in front of him for defence as Brock tried to explain.

"Calm down, Hawkodile..." Brock said.

"But he's a threat to the kingdom!" Hawkodile replied, holding up a fist.

"He's not here to cause mayhem!" Brock defended his roommate. "He's here to-"

"...apologise." came a voice as Hawkodile looked behind him.

"Unikitty..." the three of them said in unison.

"Unikitty, stay back! I'll handle this!" Hawkodile said, putting an arm in front of her.

"Trust Michael, Roger..." Unikitty replied, calming Hawkodile down. "He's sincere..."

"And how do you know it?" Hawkodile asked.

"Cuz he came yesterday and confessed his love to me..." Unikitty said with a smile, as she and Michael looked affectionately into each other's eyes.

Hawkodile gawked in surprise- and somewhat horror.

"Princess, are you intense?!?" Hawkodile exclaimed as the rest of the UK5 came running.

"Yes, indeed I am." Unikitty replied, hugging Michael. "We're together now, and nobody's tearing us apart."

Michael, with a blushy smile, hugged Unikitty back with a gentle kiss on her forehead as the others gawked and gasped.

"Aww..." said Brock as his eyes turned big and shiny.

"Well," Dr. Fox said. "As long as she is happy."

"Yeah! Bork!" Puppycorn continued, wagging his little tail.

"He's changed a lot, I could see." Richard continued.

"Even you, Richard?!?" Hawkodile exclaimed in disbelief.

Richard just nodded.

"Hawkodile," Michael called him bravely as the royal bodyguard glared sternly at him.

Michael took a deep breath, and bowed down.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I owe everybody in this kingdom an apology."

Hawkodile raised an eyebrow as the others looked at him, smiling happily.

"Especially the Princess, of course." Michael continued, as he and Unikitty smiled at each other. "She's always been my target, yet she tolerates me so much..."

Hawkodile still seemed alerted.

Michael sighed.

"It's okay if you're still mad, Hawkodile..." Michael continued. "After all, you're the Princess's loyal bodyguard. Punch me whenever you please, I don't mind..."

Hawkodile lifted an arm as the others tried desperately to stop him.

To their surprise, Hawkodile didn't punch him. Instead, he teared up and hugged him.

Michael was rather surprised.

"Michael," Hawkodile said, wiping a tear. "You're a brave dude, I mean it. No matter how many times I've set my knuckles on you, you still kept coming to the Kingdom. I've never seen such a tough dude like you. Well, I owe you an apology as well, for giving you years of infinite nightmares..."

"No, Hawkodile," Michael replied. "Thank you, for giving me years of infinite nightmares. You could say part of the reason I gave up evil is because of you..."

"You decided to give up evil?" Hawkodile asked.

"Yeah," Michael replied with a sincere smile. "Whatever it takes to make y'all forgive me about my past doings. I even quitted my job for you guys..."

"Michael..." Hawkodile replied, hugging him tighter. "I don't know how to thank you..."

Michael hugged back with a smile.

"You don't have to..." he said, as the others started tearing up.

A little while later, Hawkodile let go as he asked.

"I think you're not here just to apologise, Michael. What's with the note in your pocket?"

"Wow, your eyes really are sharp!" Michael replied with awe. "Well, yes, I actually have another problem, and I'm here to seek help- from you."

"Me?" Dr. Fox asked.

"Yes," Michael replied. "And it's about something that y'all might not be happy with..."

Dr. Fox looked at Michael. She was all ears.
