Alright, here's the skiddy. This is a fanfic that actually was completed back in 2006, I'd been intending to try to get it to Kenn Navarro.... but I lost my nerve.... so 3 years later, I've decided to put it up here, on ... for all you to enjoy.

A few things before hand.....

1. From this fic onwards.... I will no longer be putting up the "deal with squeakense" disclaimer, I'll be typing the HTF's language as pure english. No one else is doin' it anymore, so it doesn't make sense for me to keep putting it up and sounding redundant.

2. There is HEAVY graphic violence, strong language, a couple OOC moments, and some graphic crude humor. If you have a problem with this, why are you in the HTF section anyway???

3. There are some similarities to this and a new fic by PennytheFuckingWise called "Russell's Adventure". I'm not a plagarist and I didn't steal her idea, nor did she take mine. In fact... I'd recommend giving her story a lookover, it's actually pretty good.

4. I HAVE made some changes to my original script, based on some new ideas and interests that have cropped up. I'll go over those in a bonus chapter at the end of the story.

5. While I don't own the Happy Tree Friends sadly, I do own..... well.... you'll just have to wait and see later on.... hee hee

Dusk was falling over the citizens of Happy Tree Land and for most of them; it was a time to be getting into their nightwears and whatnot. But for two raccoons, it was just another night of planning, scheming, and stealing.

".... So then we hit the electronics store for some hardware and a bunch of those new Emerald Night cds; Those oughta net us some good dough!", Shifty was saying excitedly as he wrote down the blueprints for that night's heists, all the while sitting on the floor of their living room.

"If you say so...", his brother, Lifty, remarked. A touch of disinterest was traceable in his voice and Shifty was quick to notice it.

"Whatsa matter, Lifty?"

"Shifty, I'm tired of the same old thefts, I wanna go for something HUGE! Something that will get us set for life!"

"Lifty, we've been through this... When something big comes into town, we'll go after it! There's just nothing really valuable in this city anymore, only small-time stuff!"

Giving a small sigh, Lifty flicked on the TV the two of them had swiped the night before and laid down next to his brother. As the TV screen faded in, the voice of a newscaster could be heard.

"...Searching for buried treasure!!!"

Hearing the small snippet, Shifty turned his attention to the TV, where Disco Bear could be seen with a microphone in hand, talking to Russell

"Russell, what else can you tell us about this groovy treasure???", the bear asked, nonchalantly poofing up his afro with his other hand.

"Yar! This be a treasure fit for ye gods!! All I be needing is a crew to help me on the hunt! If ye are interested in getting thy hands on some treasure and adventure, meet me at ye docks by 11 A.M. tomorrow!"

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"Is this live?"

"Yeah..."

"I always be wanting to say this.... Yar! I be ho---"

Turning off the TV mid-sentence, Lifty looked at his brother with a wide smirk on his face

"Is that a big enough prize for ya?"

"Is it ever! Forget the Emerald Night cds, we're going for treasure!!!"

As the two of them shared their trademark chuckle, they had no knowledge of the adventure and danger that waited for them.... and if they had...... they would have willingly tried to rob Flippy's house again in an instant rather then go through the hell that awaited them.
