Later, having been banned from making any more warehouses for the time being, Foreman set about blowing up and remodeling every one of the ''existing'' warehouses in the Homeworld. As his team got to one in which [[Marksmanship-522]] had elected to take a nap, they dislodged him, forcing to try other possible hideaways to get some peace and quiet. After some misadventures outside the Homeworld, Marksmanship returned to the Homeworld just in time to find that the Construction Cupids were on their lunch break, and got back to bed in his own house, where the [[Larrikin-1029|disturbance]] that had been at work there and had forced him to take refuge in the warehouse earlier had similarly abated. When he was startled by a shrunken [[Salamandyr]] which had followed him home, Marksmanship chucked it out of his window and it happened to fall directly onto the lunching Foreman, who was terrified of amphibians and ended up calling off all construction work for the day while he recovered, further guaranteeing Marksmanship his peace for the rest of the day.

In December, after [[Celebration-665]] began introducing the Cupids to Christmas via the “[[Festival of Giving]]”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frost King's Treasure (novel)|The Frost King's Treasure]]'') a reluctant Foreman was roped by [[Dandy-432]] into flying with him to the [[Prime Universe|Prime]] [[Earth]] to bring back a Christmas tree to decorate at [[Dandy-432's house]], with Dandy needing Foreman's physical strength and acumen to cut the tree down. They found a tree plantation connected to a farm, which Dandy guilessly interpreted as a “Christmas tree forest”; it was only after getting Foreman to cut a tree (of suitable size to fit in [[Dandy-432's house]]), and dragging it halfway to the Ship, that the Cupids bumped into [[Farmer (Dandy and the Christmas Tree)|the owner of the premises]] and realised they were, in fact, committing theft. This did not deter them, however, and they made off with the tree faster than the farmer could follow. | [[File:Title illustration of Dandy and the Christmas Tree.png|thumb|left|300px|Foreman in the [[Prime Universe]].

However, taking advantage of Foreman's absence, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dandy and the Christmas Tree (short story)|Dandy and the Christmas Tree]]'') [[Philatel-426]] stole “all of [Foreman's] documents approving new constructions”. Foreman discovered this as soon as he returned to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], and ran frantically through the [[Mainland Cloud]], looking for Philatel or anybody who knew where he'd taken the all-important papers — notably accosting [[Larrikin-1029]], who was busy transporting a Christmas pudding on behalf of [[Bibliophile-962]] and had no inkling of the situation.
