"Yes that's all very well and good." Roz was confused at how her SIR found enjoyment in silly cartoons."But you have a MISSION Dum." She pointed to the floor, signifying that Mary still needed to be obliterated.

Dum wasn't listening though. Instead they got even more excited and jumped up and down at a commercial about the same donkey show.

"Hey y'all!" The TV shouted earpeircingly. "How would you like to own a Meepmoop of your very own? Just come on down to any old arcade and play a jumbo clawmachine to get your very own sad fluffy donkey!" A notice ran by the screen. "Warning, the smell on the stuffed toy may contain harmful chemicals that could manifest into asbestos. Do not eat the donkey. You will have regrets just like him."

Dum lapped from their seat and started clapping. "I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE!"

"Dum we have a MISSION we have to acomplish! We don't have time for stupid fluffy-"

Dum started crying histericley. "BUT I WANT ONE! I WANT A DONKEY MASTER! I WANT THE DONKEY!"

Roz became agitated. She couldn't handle loud sounds, especially crying.

"Fine! I'll get you the stupid toy!"

Dum ceassed crying "Yay!"

"But one one condition! You must kill the squeaky nosed flesh rodent when I get it!"

"Yes Master!"

"Good."

The Irken and her unit had been driving in the spaceship for ten minutes.

"Because I don't want to be near any humans, we are going to Arcadia, the arcade planet. Let's hope they have them there."

"Oooookaaay."

Roz was betting that they didn't have the stuffed toy on the planet. The sooner Dum realized it was impossible to get, the sooner Roz could end her nemesis.

Once they arrived in a suitable spot on the planet, a place called Clawlers, Roz and Dum strolled out of the ship to investigate the arcade and it's inhabiting claw machines.

The building was packed wall to ceiling in claw machines like an overstocked warehouse. The machines came in all sizes. Each one had a different themed design, like a skull and crossbones burning out of its eyesockets, or a bunch of sparkling bubbly rainbows on it. There was even one that wqas broken, old, and musty. The machines had different claws in them, ranging from normal claws, to deamon spider claws, to unicorn hoods, eldrich tentacle monster claws, and so on and so forth. Aliens from across the universe came in all different forms here: ugly, smelly, sticky, and small. A couple of aliens in a tranchcoat piggybacked on one another to reach the machines that sat on top of each other. Another alien ran out screaming his head off that he lost it. He lost it all.

800 claw machines the two looked through. And 800 of them were empty of the fluffy donkey prize. Roz was ready to pack it on home and kill Mary once and for all.

She talked to Dum as if he was a small child. "Ah...oh well. Your weird animal toy isn't here. I guess we'll just have to go home and continue the mission. Let's go-"

Dum gapped and tugged on Roz's arm. They started jumping up and down.

There it was. The gigantic fluffy Meemoop donkey plushie. In The biggest claw machine in the galaxy. Just sitting there, waiting to be grabbed.

Dum rushed over to the machine and immediately put a quarter in it. They lost and continued to pile the machine with quarters.

Roz watched in shock as Dum continuously grabbed the plush toy with success, but because of the machines slippery nature, the fake donkey kept falling on its ass to the bottom machine. Again, again, and again.
