Wolf led Diane towards the Mystic Springs Oasis, that was the last place he saw Otterton going to after he sold them the mini jumbo pop, the two walked inside and seen a yak doing meditation.

"Excuse me?" Diane asked, leaning forward on the desk, the yak removed the hair out of his face and looked down at Diane.

"We're looking for Emmitt Otterton," Diane says, grabbing the picture of Otteron out of her pocket and showing it to the yak.

"Oh yeah, he came here just last week, haven't seen him since, his yoga teacher, she's an elephant, she should be able to tell you what happened." The yak explained, Diane smiled softly.

"Can you lead us to her?" She asked, her badge flashing in the lighted room, the yak nodded and got up from his chair, Diane screamed when he realized he was naked

"You're naked?!" Diane questioned, closing her eyes, Wolf smirked down at her, taking pleasure in her screams.

"You wanna go home foxy?" Wolf asked, still smirking down at her, Diane glared and slowly opened her eyes, looking at the nude yak in front of her.

"Shut up, and don't call me that." Diane mumbled, turning her gaze away from Wolf, a small blush appearing on her face from the nickname. Wolf noticed the blush and smiled.

"Whatever you say, foxy." Wolf replies, still smiling, Diane blushed more and walked into the oasis, Wolf followed after her, there was many beautiful things in the oasis, but the thing that stuck out to Diane was the nudeness of these animals. Her hands shook as she followed the yak.

Finally, they reached the elephant, who was currently teaching her yoga class, the yak spoke to her.

"Nanji, these dudes wanna know about Emmitt Otterton." The yak spoke slowly, Nanji looked down at the yak confused.

"Who?" She asked, confusion evident in her voice.

"Y'know, the guy that's been coming to your yoga class for the past twenty-seven years?" The yak explained, that just made Nanji more confused than before.

"Y'know, he got in the car with some big guys, I don't know their names, but I seen him getting into the car." The yak explains, and then continues explaining how he seen the license plate of the car which was; HB051986.

Diane quickly wrote the information down and smiled more, she was onto something, she could feel it, she grabbed Wolf's hand without realizing it.

"Let's get going!" She says, Wolf blushing and before long his tail began waging at an insane rate, what the hell? He just met this woman and he was already blushing. Diane felt her hand touching something and looked down she had her hand on Wolf's, her whole face turned red and Diane pulled her hand away instantly.

"S-Sorry." She mumbled, turning her head away from his gaze, still blushing insanely hard, Wolf was still blushing but not as much as Diane was.

"I-It's fine..." He whispered back, Diane was left feeling confused and conflicted about this mysterious man- or wolf that she met at an ice-cream shop just the day before, her heart was beating faster than the speed of light.

"I have a friend at the DMV, he can get us the license plate in a flash." Wolf says, Diane only nods, her heart still beating fast.

"Let's get going then." She whispers.

The duo arrived at the DMV, Diane's eyes widened as they realized the workers of the DMV were all sloths! She glared at Wolf.

"I thought you said this will be done in a flash." She whispered-yelled at him, Wolf chuckled and walked up to one of the desks, Diane follows cautiously.

"Hey flash, how you doing?" Wolf asks, flashing his signature whitey smile, Diane's heart raced just by looking at it.

"I'm... doing... good... how... about... you?" Flash asked slowly, Diane tried to keep her cool but that was hard since they were in a rush for the license plate.

"I'm doing great, listen we need to license this plate," Wolf explains, Diane shows flash the license plate, Flash nods and slowly begins to put the number into the computer, anyone in Diane's place would be extremely annoyed.

"Hey flash you wanna hear a joke?" Wolf questioned, Diane mentally wanted to fall into a hole, in the deep depths of the earth, but somehow kept her cool.

"Sure..." Flash replies.

"Okay, what do you call a three humped camel?" Wolf asked once again, holding up three fingers with his paw. When there was no answer, Wolf sighed no one got his sense of humor which is why he had little to no friends.

"Pregnant!" He says, Diane didn't get the joke and just eagerly wanted to get out of the DMV and find Emmitt Otterton.

"Ha...ha...ha.." Flash laughs slowly, somehow his laugh was even more slower than his talking, he turned towards another sloth and Diane tried desperately to get him to focus on the license plate.

"Lucia... what... do... you... call... a... three... humped... camel?" Flash asked, Diane groaned and glared at Wolf who was smiling, he was clearly trying to push her buttons and so far he was doing a good job.

"Pregnant." Flash says, Diane twitched her eyes and felt like she was gonna explode, eventually after what felt like hours, Flash finally printed out the license plate, Diane thanked Flash and walked out with Wolf following her.

By the time they got out however, it was already nighttime, she mentally screamed realizing she had only 24 hours left and there was no way she could do that.

"Hm says here it's in Tundratown." Wolf says, glancing at the license plate in Diane's hand, she glared at him, it could still be open at this time, she grabbed Wolf's arm and pulled him into her tiny car.

"Put your seatbelts on, it's gonna get pretty wild." Diane says, pressing her foot on the gas and speeds off towards Tundratown
