Moon Colonies News: Mr. Underwear has struck again. This time, he's stolen underwear from the citizens of Despina. Sheriff Gogo Tomorrow (leader of the moon) has asked for patience as he has joined forces with Sheriff Erica Kowalski (leader of Titania) to catch this criminal. In an interview conducted earlier today, Sheriff Gogo said, "We will catch Mr. Underwear as soon as possible. We will not let him get away with it the same way Mr. Shoelaces has." But that will be hard as Mr. Underwear has gained a fanbase who put underwear on their heads and call themselves The Undies.

Wolf never knew how much pain he had been holding in until when he spoke to his parents. He had realized his abandonment issues came from them dying—leaving him—without saying goodbye.

They had asked for forgiveness.

He had accepted.

He had cried.

So did they.

In the end, a burden that had held him back vanished, leaving him whole and ready to commit to a life full of love and happiness.

His parents had also apologized for not telling him about Rainbow, hollans, oldens, golems, and that aliens existed and lived in the solar system. They had hoped their mission to find habitable planets in other systems would end soon, so they would have returned to him sooner.

They looked troubled to have missed his teen years, and Wolf had assured them it was fine. They had returned safe and sound, and now they could catch up on the missed years.

"Are we there yet?" Wednesday asked with excitement in her voice.

"Not yet," Wolf said.

"I'm so happy for you, Big Sis," Friday chimed in.

Wolf sighed. Having two voices in his ears wasn't pleasing. It made it hard for him to think. But that would change soon.

After his conversation with Detective J, he couldn't wait for Oli's return. The thought of her being a sleeve was intimidating, but also exciting. She'd have access to go anywhere—Pluto government officials banned humans from going there because of the destruction caused by bounty hunters.

Would Oli still be a hyena? Or would she stop, move up society's ladder and become one of those snobby, wealthy sleeves?

No, that wasn't the woman he knew in Coupon City. Oli was a lot of things: resilient, caring, and fun—but she wasn't a snob. He was more of that than her.

"We're here," Wednesday said.

"Woohoo!" Friday cheered.

The holograms above the buildings in Pogo City glowed, brightening Venus' night. Whether it was semi-naked dancing women above clubs and brothels, cartoon characters showing off new products above supermarkets and malls, or the menus above restaurants and cafes, they gave life to the city and electrifying the air, making the hair on Wolf's arms rise.
