[hello fellow fan fiction readers, I am Kalgante, is that my real name perhaps (no it's not) . this be my first ever fan fiction and any feedback you can offer would be appreciated, do enjoy.

High noon, the weather was clean and clear, like any beautiful spring day, the last of the snow had melted away leaving the ground soft and moist. Everywhere friends were making the most out of the clear weather. Lumpy drove around delivering mail with few mistakes today. Cuddles, toothy, and mime worked together trying to get a soccer game going. Sniffles was posting up flyers for some extra money. Ultimately, a day of unusual contentment. Things had been different there this year however. The usual high death rate was at an unbelievable low. They were beginning to last several days without death and nobody cared to question such a miraculous turn of events.

To the north of town, Petunia tended her yard, planting this years annuals. She sat up to wipe a small dabble of sweat off that formed on her brow and waved hello to two others passing by across the street. Those two were the red porcupine Flaky and the red and pink skunk Lisa who kindly waved back to their friend as she kneeled down to finish her work. The two continued on enjoying ice cream from a new shop that had opened nearby.

"So Lisa umm… what do you want to do now" asked Flaky trying to think of something they would both like.

"Well, I was thinking we'd just go see what's going on in town, there's gotta be something fun".

Flaky nodded in agreement as they moved onward down a hill to the center of town. Nearly half way down however they spotted Lumpy in his mail truck who had also spotted them and quickly turned his truck to face them so that it was taking up both lanes. He then proceeded to step out carrying a mail bag and moved over to the two who stared at the moose in confusion.

"Lisa, I have something here for you, umm… hang on a sec" he said burying his face in the bag and spilling mail all over the ground. At least four minutes passed of this until he pulled out a letter in a yellow envelope and handed it to her.

"Here you go" he said handing it to her in his usual dopey fashion.

"Umm… thanks" responded the confused skunk as she examined the ground around lumpy's feet which was covered in letters.

"Oops" he said with a dopey laugh afterwards and proceeded to pick up the letters.

Flaky and Lucy glanced behind lumpy to see a large line of cars in each lane honking at Lumpy's truck.

"Damnit Lumpy, what the hell are you doing" shouted a disgruntled handy leaning out of his window.

Lumpy turned his head to see this and shouted another "oops" as he picked up another handful of letters and retreated to his truck. From there he looked back and forth to either side of him trying to figure out what to do he was trying to go the direction the back of the truck was facing but at the same time he couldn't pull out that way, that's when he was stuck with another of his brilliant ideas and assured it with an "ah ha!" he looked back, adjusted his rear view mirror and began to back up the road he was trying to follow. Lisa and Flaky stared at this display until he was out of sight. Flaky looked at the ground to see a small pile of letters still scattered there. Two were the same as Lisa's and the rest were white; she proceeded to pick them up.

"so who's it from?" asked flaky curiously.

Lisa looked at it but found it was completely blank, she turned it over and found her name that seemed to be written large in purple ink.

"Damnit, it's a stupid prank!" she shouted tossing it to the ground.

Flaky watched it as it floated to the ground.

"Your not even going to open it?" asked Flaky quietly.

"And indulge the ass who sent it, no I'm not" Lisa replied sternly as she marched onward.

Flaky considered leaving it but would feel bad if Lucy wanted to open it later so she picked it up and added it to her stack of mail and followed her friend.

just a short while later the two came across Cuddles and the others playing soccer as they attempted to pass by.

"Hey Flaky, Lisa, you guys busy?" Cuddles shouted to them.

The two stopped and looked at each other as if contemplating what to do. Flaky seemed to want to join them but Lisa seemed like she'd rather do something else.

"C'mon you two, we'll go easy on ya!" he shouted.

This seemed to trigger something in Lisa's head as she had become somewhat aggressive.

"What do you mean you'll go easy on us, we're a lot more capable than you think" she stated sternly.

Cuddles took advantage of the opportunity and responded with "I'll be the judge of that, come prove it."

Although he said it nicely Lucy could hear the competition in his voice and followed suit. Flaky also seemed excited but also nervous.

The teams met on opposite ends of the field only to find that the teams were un even, an oversight mostly on cuddle's part.

"Hey wait Cuddles" exclaimed Toothy "this is no fun, the teams are un fair."

Though Cuddles liked the advantage he couldn't bring himself to start playing yet. At that moment another Tree Friend rode by on his bike, a red furred hedgehog with purple spikes and a blue patch around his left eye.

"Remmie! Shouted Lisa as she moved towards him."

"Huh?" he replied to himself, too quiet for the others to hear as she marched towards him. He was temped to start riding away.

"Remmie" she said to him as she got closer "you think you could join my team so we can play?" she asked.

"umm… well I'd rather not" he replied.

"yea c'mon Remmie, we need you!" added Cuddles.

At this Remmie was put on the spot, he really did not care to play but he didn't want them to not be able to play their game.

"Fine" he breathed and walked his bike over to a bench to lean it against.

He took sides with Flaky and Lisa at the same time Petunia and Giggles arrived with a picnic basket and sat on a bench.

"Hey, you two wanna play?" asked Cuddles to them.

"No thanks" Petunia responded "we did come to watch though, we're rooting for you Lisa." she said.

Cuddles didn't expect that but laughed anyway.

"I got your back Cuddles" Giggles said giggling at the end and opening the picnic basket to grab a sandwich.

Petunia and giggles looked at each other and laughed at their opposition to one another.

Remmie settled up front face to face with Cuddles Lisa took the roll of support to help Remmie on the approach and to help Flaky the goalie with the defense. Toothy took a similar roll as Lisa on the other end with Mime in the goal. It was Cuddles with the ball and he tossed it into the air. Remmie stayed prepared and charged it with his head. He managed to hit it just below the spikes on his forehead and bounced it towards toothy. Toothy followed up by taking the ball and passing it to Cuddles past a charging Remmie who had already gotten into the game. Cuddles controlled the ball and ran it towards the goal. Lisa was tight on him and managed to kick it away only to have it intercepted by Toothy. Remmie seemed to just charge at whoever has the ball and charged towards Toothy who only had Flaky between him and the goal. Lisa did what she could to get to the ball but Toothy had already sent it towards the goal. Flaky could only watch as it hurtled towards her. She closed her eyes and stuck out her hands in an attempt to stop the ball but it had flown clear past her and into the net. At that sound Flaky opened her eyes and was relieved to see that it had not hit her. When she turned to the others she could see their disappointment. At that she rubbed her left arm bashfully and an said she was sorry.

Remmie and Lisa forgave her and continued their game. This time Remmie tossed the ball and Cuddles took advantage of his long ears to take it to his feet and knock it past Remmie. He ran it towards the goal and hammered it from a distance trying to make an epic goal. Lisa however made sure he'd regret it and blocked it with her chest before it could get to the cowering Flaky. She began to run it towards the opposite end and managed to shimmy the ball past cuddles. Remmie had Toothy covered and toothy did his best to avoid getting too close to his spikes. Remmie followed Lisa to the goal as she sent it towards the goal. Mime put up an effort to block it with an invisible wall but instead blocked it when it soared into the side of his face. By now Cuddles was in position to intercept the ball. Remmie made an effort to get it but Cuddles managed to get it right before Remmie could. This resulted in Remmie falling and sliding on his stomach. He now had a clear path to the goal and wasted no time to get there. He charged aggressively towards flaky and she responded by ducking and closing her eyes as it soared right above her and brushed her quills. She then stood up and looked behind herself to see the ball nestled in the goal. she turned to look at her friends who looked quite stressed and she just felt bad.

Cuddles now had the ball and tossed it into the air. This time Remmie was thoroughly annoyed and attempted to take the ball but Cuddles repeated his previous tactic and took it to the ground with his ears. Remmie however was able to react faster to it this time and keep on him. Cuddles turned his head to see Remmie hot on his heels but still behind. he decided to tease him by sticking out his tongue at him but Lisa managed to get the ball away from him and kicked it forward. Remmie ran to take the ball and succeeded. Toothy had taken a pre emptive defensive stance before the goal as Remmie charged to the goal. Slightly faster, cuddles managed to catch up to Remmie and attempted to take the ball. Remmie responded by using his superior power and body checked Cuddles off of the field into a cooler full of water. His eyes read determination and Toothy could see it. Remmie growled at him, telling him to get out of the way and Toothy did just that. Mime responded with a shocked reaction and stared in fear at Remmie steaming towards him. He stuck out his hands in hopes of stopping the rocket Remmie had launched at him. His efforts were met with a painful smash directly to the face. He had however bounced the ball back at Remmie who followed up by trying to head but it into the goal but instead impaled it on his spikes. He stared with a blank stare at the ball that was slowly deflating on his forehead.

"Well, that's it, I'm done" he said frustrated at the horrible turn of events that this game had been.

Remmie peeled the remains of the ball off of his forehead and tossed it onto the ground as he walked over to check on Cuddles who was setting the cooler back up. He seemed to be quite cheery despite being thrown into a bench.

"you ok?" asked Remmie.

"Yep" Cuddles replied, he didn't seem to take it personally at all "it's always fun to make a game crazy like that".

"If you guys are hungry I made more than enough sandwiches for everyone" suggested Giggles.

"alright!, toss me one would ya gigs" requested Cuddles.

"sure" she said taking a wrapped sandwich out of the basket and tossed it over to Cuddles who proceeded to catch it in his mouth making Giggles laugh.

By now all the players were off of the field retrieving sandwiches from Giggles and Petunia.

"Alright, here you go Toothy, I'll assume you want chunky peanut butter mime, no peanuts for you two right" Giggles said to Flaky and Remmie while she searched for something else "and Lisa, you don't care".

Giggles passed out the sandwiches When sniffles approached them, holding a stack of flyers.

"Hey guys" he said approaching them "I've been requisitioned to advertise the dance competition today, if you're interested all the information you need is in the flyer"

Sniffles handed a flyer to them and took off. Everyone gathered around Cuddles who had taken the flyer and he began to read the important parts aloud.

"lets see. It's at the concert studio, first prize is 300 gold acorns; sounds pretty good so far; second and third receive 200 and 100 respectively, and it looks like e are going to need to bring partners".

At that he looked to Giggles beside him and put his arm around her.

"alright, I've got mine" he said happily making Giggles laugh.

Toothy walked over to Petunia and asked to be partners with her. She though it'd be cute to dance with Cuddle's best friend as Cuddles was dancing with hers so she agreed. Mime motioned for Lisa who shrugged knowing that her other option couldn't dance if his life depended on it so she shrugged and joined him. All that was left was Remmie and Flaky who looked at one another, shrugged and joined by default.
