As it was Roary's birthday, he was dedicatedly searching for a surprise party, confident that Tyra and the others had prepared one. In Tamara's lab, he mistook a Valentine's Day present for Tamara for a birthday present. Unfortunately, he accidentally spilled the content of the present onto Tamara, which was a love potion from Dewy meant to poison Tamara into loving him. The result was Tamara, hit by the love potion, kissing Roary, and Tyra witnessing this. It is unknown why Tyra also happened to be in Tamara's lab.

Official Annual 2014
A postcard from Tyra send to Cap'n Buck is shown in the annual dedicated to him.
“ | Dearest Bucky (I can call you that, can't I?),
When Roary told me that you were heading off on the seventy seas again I dashed down to the Port to wave goodbye. I assumed you'd want me to smash a bottle of vintage Toad Soda against the Clipper, cut a ribbon and pose for farewell photos, but by the time I got there you had GONE! I can only assume, sniff, that there was a technical hitch. Perhaps you'd like to explain when you're back in the Port.. |
