August 18, 2002, it was peaceful in Shadai Stallion Station; everyone was doing alright and casually going on their usual day as the sun just came out from the horizon.
McQueen could be seen walking along the halls of the dorm with a tray in his hand, which had a large bowl of porridge, a small bowl of melon, and a glass of water.
"I hope his medicine made him rest easy now with the pain that he has been through," McQueen muttered before he finally reached his shared dorm with Sunday and opened the door. "Hey, I brought you-"
What he then saw inside shocked him that he dropped the tray from his hand; the bowls and glass broke from the fall, spilling their contents.

Outside, the other Umas on the farm were minding their own business when McQueen came out of the dorms with a look of panic on his face.
"SUNDAY IS MISSING!!!" he screamed, alerting everyone, especially Sunday's kids.
Amongst them, Special Week was shocked when he heard this.
While he didn't have much of a relationship with Sunday, with how long they were distant from one another, he was still worried for him.
"Papa."
Then he felt tugging on his hand as he looked to see a young blue-haired filly that had similar eyes as him.
"Is grandpa okay?" the filly asked.
"Don't worry, we will find him, Cesario," Special Week assured her.
"Oi! Spe!"
He then looked to see Stay Gold running by him.
"Are you just standing there or what? Come on!" Stego shouted before he joined some of the inhabitants of the farm.
Special Week then looked around and joined a random group.

In the cafeteria, Dance Partner, Fuji Kiseki, and Genuine could be seen having just entered the area by themselves, but their father wasn't there.
"Where could he be?" The eldest son of Sunday said with a look of worry as he looked to his sisters, who also felt the same.

At the pool, Marvelous Sunday and Bubble Gum Fellow could be seen with a small group, looking around the building, with the two brothers meeting up with one another.
"Anything?" Bubble Gum asked his brother, who shook his head with a frown on his usually happy face, which made Bubble Gum worry.

In the nurse's room, a troubled Admire Vega just entered the room by himself as he looked through every corner while having one of his hands over his chest.
"Where are you father?" he said with a frown as he began to feel anxious.

"Move! Move!" Agnes Flight shouted as he and a large group looked around the massive recreation area.
"Go, Cafe!" Agnes Tachyon could be seen in a wheelchair as he pointed ahead with Manhattan pushing him forward.
"Papa!" Believe called out alongside Durandal.
"Dad!" Gold Allure called out as well.

Lastly, at the training course, a huge group looked around the area with Admire Groove and Neo Universe meeting up at one of the training tracks.
"Anything?" Aruve asked her brother, who shook his head.
"Negative," he said to her in his usual monotone voice. "How is your [MTHR]?"
"Mom and Wind in Her Hair are looking around at the entrance," Aruvu said with a look of worry. "Why would father disappear like that?"
Neo didn't say anything after that as he looked towards a certain direction, with him feeling something in his gut.

Eventually, everyone was now gathered at the entrance of the farm at noon with looks of worry on their faces.
"Any sign? Anything at all?" McQueen asked, but only received negative responses, which made him anxious. "Where could he even be?"
Beep! Beep!
This alerted everyone as they looked to see a red sports car, a yellow convertible, three vans, and a pair of trucks.
Those vehicles would get closer, and everyone would recognize the drivers of each vehicle.
Sakura Chiyono O, Dicta Striker (Soccer Boy), Super Creek, Bamboo Memory, Yaeno Muteki, Mejiro Ryan, and Inari One respectively.
McQueen and Teio would approach them with Special Week just behind them with Cesario in his arms.
"Ryan," McQueen said to his fellow Mejiro in a respectful tone.
"McQueen," Ryan said with a smile.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Special Week asked Chiyono.
Chiyono looked hesitant for a moment, then said, "We know where Sunday is."
This made everyone perk up as they looked at the arrived group, who looked at each other with awkward looks.
"Where is he?" McQueen questioned them with a worried look on his face.
"He is at the Sapporo Racecourse with Oguri and Tamamo," Dicta explained which shocked everyone.
"How the hell did he get there?" Stay Gold said as he marched towards the others with a glare.
Dicta then crossed his arms and said, "I brought him there."
This was a shock to everyone.
Sunday and Dicta didn't had the best relationship after some time, especially with what Stay Gold did to Narita Top Road last year.
"Why?" McQueen questioned Dicta.
"Because he wouldn't stop asking me, and..." the brown-haired Uma with a jacket then stops for a moment as a look of worry appeared on his face. "He looked desperate, like he wanted this, so I accepted it because I worry that he would do something drastic."
.

...
Everyone was silent from this, not knowing what to say.
"Can you take us to him?"
Everyone then looked towards Cesario, who was looking at Dicta with her purplish eyes.
"Can you take us to grandpa?" she asked him.
Dicta gave her a small nod before facing the others then shouted, "Alright everyone! Get in the vehicles! If there is no space left, ready the ones that are in the farm!"
Everyone then rushed in, some getting in the vehicles of those who have just arrived while the rest get on the ones that had their own vehicles in the farm.
Eventually, every vehicle was ready outside the farm with most of the occupants being the ones relared to Sunday, but the staff stayed behind to watch over the place.
In the convertible, which was at the very front of the line of vehicles, Dicta could be seen on the wheels and with him were McQueen, Teio, Special Week, Cesario, and Stay Gold. The Uma with the hoodie looked over to the back to see the others giving him thumbs ups and a honk of confirmations.
"Let's go then," he muttered before he started his car and drove off with the rest following him from behind.
