Plot Summary:
Willy, Kosmos, and Clip Clop are in the auditorium of NiqaCon talking to Joyful Babette. She tells them they probably should either apologize to the Sunblades or stop posing as them, although it's weird anyone could mistake the Firebreathing Kittens for paladins. Willy tells her that he has recently become a paladin, so. Joyful Babette's fellow artist, Quixotic Emmanuel, rushes to her to tell her that their costumes! Ah! And runs out. Joyful Babette follows, and so does Clip Clop, his horse hooves taking the centaur quickly to the dressing room, and Willy, and Kosmos gets lost but finds his way eventually. They find a costuming area with ripped up costumes, and a very sad Joyful Babette and Quixotic Emmanuel. Willy rushes out to find the perpetrator, and in his search for a guilty conscience finds Trotsky Foalshoof, who is here dressed up as a pegasus to buy a Prancing Hippogriff themed box to put the engagement ring in because his girlfriend Whinney would like it. Willy asks Trotsky to eat with him. Trotsky says um okay and the two eat together. Willy brings him back to his friends in the dressing room, at which point Trotsky recognizes Clip Clop, says, "I thought you were cool, but not if you're hanging out with this idiot" about Clip Clop, and abandons Willy. Security alerts the NicaCon organizer, Rictavio Brittlecorn, that there's been an incident. The Firebreathing Kittens have found a calling card that makes it seem the Prancing Hippogriffs sabotaged Joyful Babette's costumes to help them win the 20,000 gold prize. Rictavio hires the Firebreathing Kittens to find the perpetrators and escort them out of the con so they don't cause more trouble. He gives them Roxanne Deng to work with, but they take one look at the Prancing Hippogriff fangirl who says that they're awesome and the Firebreathing Kittens aren't, and nope out. Clip Clop confesses in the bathroom that he was responsible for his clan dying, but Willy reassures him that it wasn't his fault and he tried his best. Trying to find the location of the Prancing Hippogriffs, they ask a famous professional wrestler. They shake down a hot dog vendor of a hot dog stand to find the secretive Prancing Hippogriff's dressing room location, try to go beat down their door and beat them up, but woefully underestimate their combat strength versus the pop idol group. The pop idol Prancing Hippogriffs assure the Firebreathing Kittens that they didn't vandalize the costumes. Remembering that they get paid if they can get these people out of the convention center, they do, even though they're pretty sure the Prancing Hippogriffs didn't do it. Actually, they learn that the Ekenblim had been recruiting them and had recruited away their lead singer already. A lead singer who they knock out and convince the Prancing Hippogriffs to try to unbrainwash, preferably somewhere else (so he isn't present to receive the top prize at NiqaCon-test, they figure). As they escort the Prancing Hippogriffs out the convention center exit, an Ekenblim kidnaps the pop idols. The Firebreathing Kittens get paid for finding the Prancing Hippogriffs for Rictavio and his business partners the Ekenblim, and they perform in the NiqaCon-test in a wrestling match with Hulk Harlon and win the 20,000 gold and splitting it with Hulk Harlon.
