Some type later, [[Retconning Crocodile (Time Loops & Treachery)|another Crocodile]] travelled to the Cupid Homeworld, presenting Pythagoras-858 with a contract allegedly signed by the Crew in the future which pledged allegiance to the Collective. The Crocodile argued that the Cupids had no choice but to sign it to avoid a paradox. Pythagoras dodged out of the situation by burning the contract with his pocket lighter, rendering the signing of it irrelevant as it would be destroyed before the Crocodiles could do anything with it.

On a day off from the [[Blue Feather]], [[Pessimist-242]] was wandering the [[Mainland Cloud]], annoyed at his own inability to find something tangible to be annoyed about, when he stumbled upon [[the Hat|a mysterious magician's hat]]. He briefly encountered its ostensible owner, a [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|magician]] who appeared as a faceless phantom, which Pessimist attributed to him being a careless dimensional traveller who had phased ''nearly'', but not ''completely'', into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by accident. He tried to hand the Hat back to the magician, but the magician pretended not to hear him and vanished. Trying to put the Hat out of his sight, Pessimist attempted to bury it, but instead activated its magic as it began to spew out a veritable tidal wave of illusory white rabbits. | |||
The mounting mass of rabbits soon reached the [[Cupid Post Office]] and then the [[Cupid Parliament]], becoming such an unstoppable force that the Cupids made for their Fog Ships and escaped ''en masse'' to the [[Euclidean Plane]], where the [[Copper-Colored Council of Elders]] asked the [[Geometron Pentagon]] for asylum. The [[Cupid Prime]], for his part, had escaped to [[Hawaii]] in his [[Cupid Prime's Fog Ship|personal Fog Ship]] alongside his entourage, but not before telling the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] to stay behind and solve the problem. [[Lord Thymon]] used his powers to hold off the tide long enough for the Prime-Solvers, and Thymon himself, to take refuge in an empty warehouse. | |||
After three days, having concluded that only a ''Deus Ex Machina'' could save the Homeworld, [[Valerius-1497]] told the others that they should summon [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]] herself to help. The plan worked, but before she used her powers to make the rabbits and hat vanish, the goddess took out her anger at being summoned without permission on Valerius, turning him into a (mechanical) parakeet. The Problem-Solvers elected not to tempt fate by asking Aphrodite to reverse the transformation, content to add returning Valerius to his natural form to their list of problems to be solved. Juliet located a [[Psychic Broadcasting Cone]] in the headquarters of the [[Department of Communication]] and used it to summon the rest of the Cupids back to the Homeworld.
