One day in Cookie Gulch, Sheriff Marshall woke up his two babies, Xerry and Nobath from their nap. The sheriff said that since the crime rates are down this week, he plans to take his two babies shopping at Crunchy's Diaper Emporium. The sheriff needs to buy a new teething pacifier for Xerry since he chewed up his old one, a new blanket for the babies' crib, and restock on more diapers for both Xerry and Nobath, plus the sheriff himself.

But most important, Sheriff Marshall wanted to purchase some new clothing for Nobath since he hardly ever worn anything since the sheriff adopted him as his baby. The thing is, Nobath doesn't really care about clothes. All he ever needs is his baby bonnet, his bib, and a thick disposable diaper around his waist and he's happy with those everyday accessories. But Marshall thinks that he needs some new civilian clothing for outings, holidays, and school.

Nobath wasn't too thrilled about getting new clothes, and he sulked as he, Xerry and Sheriff Marshall waddled on over to Crunchy's place. As the diapered trio entered the emporium, Crunchy welcomed them with open arms.

Crunch: "Welcome Sheriff! What can I do for you today?"

Marshall: "Hi Crunchy! We're here to purchase more diapers."

Crunchy: "You're in luck sheriff. For this week, all ABU brands are on sale at 25% off."

Marshall: "That's great! Plus we need a new pacifier for Xerry, a new blanket for their crib, and Nobath needs some new clothing."

Crunch: "Fine. I'll help Xerry out with the blankets and his new paci. The children's clothing is located between the diaper and toys aisle."

So while Crunchy helps out Xerry pick out a pacifier and the blankets, Sheriff Marshall dragged an uncooperative Nobath towards the clothing aisle.

Marshall: *annoyed* "C'mon Nobath! You're making this difficult for me!"

Nobath: "Aw, come on daddy! I don't wanna new clothes! I'm fine in my bonnet and diaper!"

But while the two were going through the toy aisle, Nobath suddenly stop in his tracks. He saw a life-sized raccoon plushie that was made by the Create-A-Critter plush company. Once Nobath saw the plushie, he immediately wanted it since he had no plushie to claim his own.

Nobath: *takes plushie from the toy rack and begins to cuddle it* Please daddy, can I keep him?"

Marshall: "I tell you what. If you can cooperate with me in buying you new clothes, the plushie's all yours."

Once upon hearing that, Nobath immediately obeyed the sheriff as he picked out a new shirt with green and blue stripes, a pair of orange socks, and a light green cap. As Nobath came out of the changing booth with his new clothes along with a thick diaper around his waist, the sheriff took a pic from his phone. As Nobath looked in the mirror with his new clothing, he smiled as he thought to himself, "This shirt and cap really ain't so bad after all."

As promised, Nobath got to keep his new plushie pal for being a good little skunk. And after Xerry gathered his brand new pacifier and blankets for their crib, Sheriff Marshall then went to the diaper aisle got four packs of Bunny Hopps for Xerry, four packs of Little Pawz for Nobath, and four packs of PeekABUs for himself. Marshall even got a pack of toddler sized Howdies for Nobath's new plushie to wear.

And after purchasing all the items they need (Sheriff Marshall gets a 50% discount for being one of Crunchy's top costumers), the three put their paid merchandise in a wagon and haul it back the sheriff's office while Nobath carried his brand new plushie alongside with him. And later in the evening as the sheriff's two babies took a bath and changed into their fresh diapers (Bunny Hopps for Xerry and Little Pawz for Nobath), the sheriff tucked the two inside their crib with their new blanket. The sheriff then taped a Howdies diaper around the new raccoon plushie's waist and handed it to Nobath. As the two babies gently snuggled in their new blanket, Xerry admired Nobath's new plushie.

Xerry: "Nice raccoon plushie, Nobath. What are you going to name him?"

Nobath: *thinking for a moment* "I think I'll call him... Rascal. Rascal Raccoon!"

As for the sheriff, as the two babies finally went to sleep, Marshall went into his bedroom, taped a fresh Giraffe PeekABU, and climbed into his crib where his own plushie, Rusty Raggs was waiting for him.

"Goodnight Rusty." said Marshall as he snuggled in his new baby blanket for his own crib while cuddling Rusty. "You're going to meet a brand new friend in the morning!"
