"Our hubby has been KIDNAPPED!!!"
"What?! No way!! Tomorrow was MY turn to kiss him!! How am I supposed to survive without my weekly smooch?!"
"Who did this?! Who dared to steal Julius?!"
"Nooooooo!! I'm gonna go completely crazy!!!"
In the big sparkly Empire of Rosalina, total madness broke out.
The absolute worst thing ever had happened, their sweet husband Julius was snatched right out of the mini church!
"Bring our hubby back!! Bring our hubby back!! BRING OUR HUBBY BAAAACK!!"
Protests exploded everywhere.
Every mini Rosalina dropped whatever she was doing, baking, shopping, napping, guarding, and ran to the front of the royal castle.
They waved tiny signs, stomped their little feet, and chanted super loud. The whole empire looked like a pink angry parade!
Up on her fancy balcony, Arrogant Rosalina stared down at the crowd. Her eyes got narrow.
Her cheeks puffed up. Then—BOOM— anger exploded inside her!
"Who DARED to kidnap MY hubby?!" she roared.
She grabbed a pretty flower vase and hurled it into the air.
CRASH!!
It smashed into a million pieces.
Commander Rosalina (the calm and cool one) quickly ducked so she didn't get hit by flying flowers.
"Your Majesty," she said in her steady voice, "we still don't know who took him. But we've told every Rosalina in the empire. We're searching everywhere. We'll find hubby soon, I promise."
Arrogant Rosalina gritted her teeth so hard you could almost hear them squeak. She straightened the tiny golden crown on her head.
"Damn it! How DARE they!!" she yelled. "I haven't kissed him in FOUR WHOLE DAYS! And the day after tomorrow was supposed to be MY turn… I was counting down the hours!"
She bit her lower lip, looking both super mad and super pouty at the same time.
"Hamphhh!!" She let out a huge, dramatic snort.
Somehow… it was still the cutest snort in the whole universe.
"I want those kidnappers RIGHT NOW!!" she shouted, pointing her finger like a tiny angry queen.
"Bring them to me this second! I will execute them myself!! With my own royal hands!!"
The protests outside grew louder and wilder.
Signs waved everywhere: "GIVE US BACK OUR HUBBY!" and "KISS THIEVES MUST PAY!!" The whole empire was in full meltdown mode.
Up on her balcony, Arrogant Rosalina tilted her chin super high. Her nose flared like an angry kitten's. Her cheeks puffed out big and round like pink balloons ready to pop.
She paced back and forth, tiny heels clicking on the marble floor. She chewed on her nails nervously.
"It seems… I really have to call HER," she muttered.
Commander Rosalina froze mid-step. Her eyes went wide.
"Your Majesty… you don't mean… HER, do you?!"
Arrogant Rosalina spun around dramatically, mini crown glinting in the light.
"Yes! Only she can catch those sneaky thieves who kidnapped my hubby!"
"But… Your Majesty…" Commander Rosalina stuttered, looking horrified.
"She tried to frame you! She said YOU were the one sneaking lip kisses with hubby behind everyone's back!"
Arrogant Rosalina clicked her tongue loudly. She frowned so hard her eyebrows almost touched.
"There's no other way," she said through gritted teeth.
"Without her help, we'll never find my hubby. And I still haven't given this empire an heir yet! So… I have to compromise. Just this once."
She raised her chin sharply, looking extra royal and extra stubborn.
"Let's go, Commander Rosalina. Only Detective Rosalina can solve this mess and bring my hubby home!"
Commander Rosalina gulped, but saluted anyway.
"Yes… Your Majesty."
