The Littlest Angel Page #4

is a "no can do."

What's going on?

Looks like your other halo

agrees with me.

Yep, no doubt about it.

But we're not really breaking in.

See, the window's wide open.

Plus it's not like l'm stealing

since the box is really mine.

- Guess that means it's all right.

- Good.

Then l'll just look inside

and make sure no one's there.

Whoa!

- Are you okay?

- l'm fine. Come on.

l got a bad feeling about this,

but a friend looks out for a friend.

l thought you said

nobody was here.

Eh, it's just a little cat.

Don't you know most

earth cats and dogs--

- like to fight like cats and dogs?

Shh, we don't want anybody hearing us.

Ahhh!

Someone's in my house! Help!

l got it.

We'll never make it this way.

Then we'll have to go out

the front before--

- Gotcha!

- What do we do now?

What earth dogs do best--

chase cats.

Come here, kitty.

Why you--

So sorry.

Stop!

ln the name of the law.

Oh, who am l kidding?

l'll never catch them.

This is your last chance.

Confess or else!

- Or else what?

- Good question.

Argh, would you just tell me

where the littlest angel is?

- We can't.

- Then l'll just have to make you talk.

Ahh, what are you doing?

l am, after all, still a hero.

So l can't let you frighten

the poor little creatures,

even if they are

just dumb animals.

Look who's calling us dumb.

Now promise you won't hurt

the nice critters.

Fine. Just put me down.

Okay.

Well, if you refuse to tell me

where the littlest angel is,

at least give him

a message for me.

How can we when he's so far--

Aha! l knew it.

You do know where he is.

Kinda, but don't blame us

since it's mostly your fault

that he's gone.

My fault?

That's right, Alban. Maybe if you'd

been nicer to the little fella,

he would have felt like

he fit in up here.

Then he wouldn't have been so sad

that he missed his home,

his box and his earthly memories.

Have you ever heard such nonsen--

Poor little Littlest.

l don't care about some silly box!

Just tell me where the boy went.

That's what we're trying to do.

You wanna hear the story or not?

Oooh, l love a good tale.

l want to hear the whole story

from the very beginning. Please!

So he went to earth...

So the mule told the angels

everything he and the ox had seen.

And miracle of miracles,

what do you know?

lt even seemed to have

a softening effect on Angel Alban.

...and that's the whole sad story.

Ahem, yes well, perhaps l have been

a tiny touch too strict with--

Saints preserve us,

at last l've found you.

Half of heaven has been searching

for you, Angel Alban.

Really? l had no idea

l was so popular.

God's announced

what the big celebration is

- and you weren't there.

- What?

What is it? l can't wait.

And l hope

it involves party hats!

God's only son is going

to be born on earth

to help spread peace

to all mankind.

Hats! l knew it.

lt's a birthday.

And birthdays

always mean party hats.

You're supposed to be over at the Great

Hall helping the decorating committee.

Oh! And every one of the angels

in your academy are supposed

to prepare a special gift

for the baby Jesus!

Y-yes-- no!

Oh, l'm ruined!

l may even lose my wings.

Oh, this is all his fault.

Where on earth could he be?

l don't know.

lt's a pretty big place.

Oh, don't be silly.

lt's just an expression.

l mean, he couldn't have actually

jumped cloud and--

Ridiculous to even consider.

Absolutely impossible--

- l pray.

l think we lost him.

Now l don't want to say

l'm an ace problem solver,

but if good old King Solomon

ever needed advice,

l'm definitely the dog to call.

Look out below-oooh!

Watch it! You almost--

my treasures!

Did someone say treasure?

- Mine!

- Thanks for catching my box, mister.

l don't know

what you're talking about.

This is my box.

Take a hike, kid.

That's my box

and l can prove it.

l said scram!

And take that mangy mutt with you.

What's going on here, Creepedeep?

This kid and his vicious dog

tried to steal my box.

And l'm sure they snuck in

without buying a ticket.

ls that true?

You got a ticket?

- No, but that's my box!

- Hit the road

or l'll have to call the guard.

Guard! Guard!

Guard?

But it's not fair.

He stole my box.

l know, but nothing we can

do about it right now.

Blast it!

There's no treasure here.

No gold, no gems,

just a bunch of bric-a-brac.

Well, that's what you get

for stealing from a poor little child.

Oh, like you'd care a rat's backside

about the kid if there turned

out to be real treasure.

Hmph, like you

could ever find a real treasure

or a real attraction for that matter.

Ehh.

lt just so happens

l'm onto something really big.

lt's going to make me rich as a king.

lf l had a coin

for every time l heard that,

l would be rich.

Oh yeah?

Well, you just wait and see.

Those two give me an itch.

Well, at least we know

where the box is.

Now let's just try and stay awake

till they fall asleep.

Now let's just try and stay awake

till they fall asleep.

Then what do we do?

Trust me.

Those two Creepedeeps

are more than a few arches

short of a cathedral,

if you catch my drift.

This'll be like taking

candy from a baby.

Not that you'd know anything

about something like that.

Right?

Me? Of course not.

Hey, l got into heaven, didn't l?

You think every Tom, Dick and hairy mutt

gets through those pearly gates?

l don't think so.

No, l guess not.

- Halo?

- Yeah?

Did you have-- you know,

- a boy or a girl back when you--

- No, l was on my own.

Fancy-free, living in the city,

nothing to tie me down.

Went where l wanted

and did what l wanted.

Hmm, because

the Good Book says

though one may be overpowered,

two can defend themselves.

Oh, what are you Good Booking me

at this time of night for?

Nothing.

l'm just saying

it's really good to have

a friend you can count on.

And when we get back to heaven,

l'm really gonna start trying harder.

Yeah, l know what you mean, Littlest.

l know what you mean.

Looks like we're in luck.

Look out.

- Halo!

- Keep going, Littlest!

Better listen to the talking dog,

kid, and hit the road.

l can't just leave you.

Get going

unless you want to feel my whip.

Save yourself, kid.

Heh heh heh,

l knew you two were hiding

something bigger than

that so-called treasure.

But this is even better

than l dreamed.

A talking dog!

You're messing with

the wrong mongrel, mister.

l'll go devil dog on you.

- Why you--

- Save your stupid threats for the show.

No way l'm leaving earth

without my best friend.

But what can l do all alone

against that big bully?

What do you think

you're doing now?

See this dog?

This is the attraction

l've been waiting for my whole life.

l've heard that one before.

Yeah? Well, you've never

heard a talking dog before.

Hello!

l'm a talking chicken, remember?

This isn't a fake.

This dog really talks.

Just listen for once in your life.

Tell her.

Ugh.

Amazing!

He's talking in tongues.

Talking dog, my foot!
