This is my first story on here (also my first HTF story ever) so I hope you enjoy! I would like to thank my 2 good friends on Quizilla, dragonvampyre and Icesis, for allowing me to use their characters, Dragon and Icesis.

Also, please note that I do not own anything in this story except my OC, Alinime. Icesis and Dragon belong to Icesis and dragonvampyre. Also, Happy Tree Friends and all its characters belong to Mondo Media.

Quietly sitting on a dock was Russell, awaiting lunch to throw itself against the hook of the fishing pole. He hadn't gotten a nibble, and he hadn't eaten for days, but his long awaited happiness had arrived.

"Ruussellllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!" A farmiliar voice called. Russell turned and smiled a bit, and the girl ran up to him and hugged him.

"How ARE you, big cousin?" she continued.

"I've been better," he replied flatly.

"What's wrong? Besides the fact that you haven't seen me in almost five years..."

Russell had that look on his face that said, 'Say that again and you'll get socked in the nose.'

"Seriously, what's wrong?" She asked again. Russell just shook his head a little. "Oh, it's...kinda personal...?" He nodded. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," He convinced her. "I just really don't feel like talking right now."

"Okay then. I understand. Hey, want me to catch a fish for you? I'm really hungry. All I had was a tiny oatmeal raisin cookie and the kid next to me on the train stole it and now I'm broke."

Russell smiled. "Well, I almost guarantee that this lake is cookie free. Eh, what the heck, give it a shot."

"Yay!" The girl cheered as she cast the line and waited patiently. All of a sudden, the fishing pole began to bend as she tugged away. "Russell, don't just sit there, help me out with this thing!" She yelled as he grabbed her and pulled. They were about to pull the fish right out of the water when she slipped from Russell's grip and flew into the air.

"RUUUUUUSSELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed.

"I'M COMIN', ALINIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Russell shouted as he dove into the lake.

Sorry for the short chapter...I have a lot of writer's block right now, But I will have chapter 2 out ASAP. For now, you're gonna have to wait. Please review and no flaming ~
