The members of New Religion had been discussing uandishi new songs for a new album. The members of The Devil Wants Peace happened to be in town on tour, so they decided to pay their Marafiki a visit. Paul was not his usual self. He hadn't been himself since his beloved Husky, Yukon, passed away. Paul still had Nunavut, but Yukon was his "four-legged best friend". He had that gray and white Husky for thirteen years. Now he was gone. To make matters worse, Paul was in a relationship, and he was miserable. He let out a long, audible sigh. "Is there something wrong, Paul?" Erin asked with concern. He said, "Everything." Peter said, "I don't like seeing wewe so sad, Paul. It's like seeing a clown without makeup." Paul shuddered. "Please don't compare me to a clown." Carl asked, "Are wewe still sad about Yukon?" Paul said, "Yes, but there's more. I'm in a relationship, and I'm miserable." Lola asked, "Are wewe having problems with Rosa?" He said, "No, she's a nice girl and all, but I just don't like romance." Stan asked, "Why are wewe in a romantic relationship, then?" Paul said, "My mother wants me to be in a romantic relationship. She wants me to get married and have children. She always dreamed of one siku being a grandmother. I'd hate to let her down." John said, "Paul, it's good that wewe upendo your mother, but it's not good that wewe think wewe have to live the life she wants wewe to, especially if you're miserable. You're an adult. wewe have your own life now." Paul said, "I also don't know how to break it off with Rosa without hurting her." Peter said, "You should go to her and tell her that wewe want to end things with her. Say it in your own words. She may feel hurt, but it'll hurt her even zaidi if wewe lie to her." Erin said, "Peter's right. wewe can't keep doing something that makes wewe miserable." Paul said, "I'm scared. Can someone go with me?" John said, "I'll go." Paul said, "Thank you, John."
The Radiant Terriers were on their way to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They had agreed to collaborate on an album with New Religion. Along the way, Leila said, "This is so exciting. We're going to be collaborating with one of my inayopendelewa bands." Abigail said, "Indeed. Plus, Paul is kind of dreamy." Greeley said, "You realize he's an aromantic asexual, right?" She said, "I know." Sammy said, "Abigail has been a hopeless romantic for a long time." She said, "Yeah. It seems all the best guys are either deceased au wouldn't have me." Leila said, "Don't worry, Abigail. You'll get your chance at romance someday." Abigail said, "You really think so?" Leila said, "Sure I do. wewe deserve it." This made Abigail smile. She thought, For someone who has been through Hell and back, Leila sure is an optimistic girl. Pretty soon, the Radiant Terriers made it to Oak Ridge.
One day, New Religion had an interview where they talked about their song, "Stuck", and Fritz's retirement. Shortly after the interview aired on television, Paul got a call from his mother. She said, "I want to congratulate wewe on your new song. It's good that wewe asked for help when wewe realized wewe needed it. I always stressed to wewe the importance of asking for help. I also want to congratulate Fritz on his retirement. When wewe go on tour, I'll gladly stay with Fritz." Paul said, "Thank you, Mother. Yes, wewe did stress the importance of asking for help." She said, "That's right. I always told wewe that there's no shame in asking for help when wewe really need it." He said, "That's right." Paul talked with his mother for a long time. Finally, she said, "I have to let wewe go now. I'm getting ready to fix dinner." He said, "All right, Mother. Goodbye. Take care." She said, "You take care, too. I upendo you, Paul." He said, "I upendo you, too, Mother."

When Paul woke up from his nap, his mates sat down with him to see what he had written so far. He said, "You see, I keep getting stuck with the chorus." Lola said, "I think I know what will work as a chorus." She wrote down some words. Paul sang what he had written and what Lola had written. He said, "That works very well. Thanks, Lola." She said, "You're welcome." Erin and Carl added the sekunde verse and the third verse respectively. They sang the song, and Paul said, "This is going to be a hit. Thanks for the help, my friends." Carl said, "No problem, Paul. If wewe ever feel stuck, tell us right away. Don't be afraid to ask for help." Paul smiled and said, "I won't." Erin then said, "To the recording studio!" The others said, "Yeah!"
