Happy Tree Friends introducing

"Fame and Miss Fortune"

Starring: Flaky

A young porcupine was screaming for dear life as she was clinging onto a tree. Her scream echoed around her as they spread across the once calm park, now corrupted by a massive threat.

She just wouldn't stop looking down at the terrifying beast below her.

"Flippy! Help me! It's horrible!" She screamed as the bear came dashing to her rescue. He halted with feet sliding across the ground; making some dust clouds form under him as he stopped.

"Don't worry, I'll save you!" He yelled bravely as he raised his fists in the air…

Flippy quickly shooed away the baby chick that sat on the grass. It chirped as it waddled away. Flaky, on the other paw, sighed in relief as she slowly slid down the trunk of the tree.

"Thank you so much!" Flaky smiled, "I thought I was a goner."

"Yeah, it's my job to protect my friends." Flippy replied as he tucked his paws in the pockets of his cameo jacket.

The two decided to keep walking through the park that was filled with singing birds and lush trees. It was an average day. Right now, Lammy was having a tea party with Sniffles and Russell, Disco Bear was at the café perfecting some of his new dance moves, and Pop was cleaning his son Cub's dirty diapers at home.

Lumpy accidently killed himself while trying to make some toast.

Nobody else got killed today so far, these days are often rare because of their immortality. When a tree friend is born, they are born mortal. If they die for the first time at any age of mortality, they become immortal. But if one dies outside of the Tree Valley, they die permanently.

But that aside, let's get back to our friends.

Meanwhile, Toothy and Handy were also in the park having a little talk as they walked along.

The amputee beaver suddenly saw a piece of paper flying through the air. It landed on his face, making him wave his nubs in order to take off. To no avail, he did his "angry face" and groaned.

"Whoa, what's that? Toothy asked as he took it off his face.

"What's it say?" Handy asked. The other beaver just shrugged.

Toothy began to read the paper. Handy leaned a bit to see for himself.

"Come see the annual Sweet Cherry Blossom pageant!" It read. "See some of the world's most delightful souls perform for the grand prize.

The pageant will be at Happy Tree Square, so come one and all."

"That looks like fun." Toothy said.

Handy didn't hear him because he his mind stuck on the "grand prize". In a thought bubble that floated over hi head, the image of a pair of robotic arms appeared, making Handy gaze off into the distance with a goofy smile on his face.

Shaking his head back to reality, he smiled nervously at Toothy, who gave him a suspicious look.

Handy suddenly pointed his left nub to another sentence on the paper. Both beavers looked down to read it.

"Know anyone cute enough? Enter them in before time runs out!"

Toothy scratched on of his hands behind his head as he looked around. "Who do we know that's cute and sweet?" He said.

Both of the beavers looked around the park, pondering on whom to enter in the pageant. Then they noticed Flippy and Flaky walking by. 'The two quickly stopped when they noticed the two beavers.

"Hey, is that a flyer for this year's Sweet Cherry Blossom pageant?" Flippy asked, pointing to the paper in Toothy's paws.

Looking at the flyer, Handy shook his head to say "yes". Toothy had a plan.

"Flippy, you ever wondered how cute Flaky would be on a scale of 1 to 10?" Toothy asked.

"Well, I think that-"

Flippy was immieadeatly cut off when Handy spoke up.

"Now, come on!" Handy growled. "Flaky would get stage fright the moment she gets onstage!"

"Hey, man!" The purple beaver said, Grabbing the porcupine and shoving her in front of his face.

Flaky yelped as she was pulled back and forth by his strong arms.

"I dare you to look at this face and tell me it's not cute!" He squealed. Flippy quickly broke him from Flaky as it was his turn to speak..

"I guess me and Flaky could give it a try. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" Flippy said with a smile.

The good news made Handy start jumping up and down with glee.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! New arms, here I come!" Handy cheered.

"What?"

Handy looked to see all three of the group looking at him with a weird look.

"I mean, let's do this!" Handy retorted.
