Not realizing that his/her pet has now run past him/her, Cooper/Prudence panics when he/she realizes that his/her pet is no longer in the car. The following morning, Cooper/Prudence is putting up "missing pet" signs, when he/she gets a phone call from Papa Louie saying that he found his/her pet and asks him/her to pick it up in Maple Mountain. Cooper/Prudence drives to Maple Mountain. Upon entering the pancakeria, he/she is happily reunited with his/her cat/dog. who has a note in his/her mouth that reads "Cookie/Pickle really likes it here in the Pancakeria!
