As stated by the summary, I will be attempting to write scenarios of what could have happened after a certain character was injured in the internet shorts and first season of the TV show. It will expand as I go along, if possible. This first one is only an example, picked at random.
THEN WHAT?

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore?

PROLOGUE: AN EXAMPLE
I can feel the animal inside
And my resolve is weakening
Pounding on the doors of my mind
And it's nearly overpowering!
-The Animal by Disturbed
Type: Internet short
Episode: "Something Fishy"
Character(s) Injured: Flaky
Injury: Had hands chewed to the bone
Featuring Character(s): Flippy
Flaky ran screaming down the hallway, blood dripping from the gnawed bones that had now become her fingers. She felt pain but was in too much shock at what had happened to know the full extent of the fire burning in the flesh of her wrists. She left a speckled trail of blood as she ran, throwing it upon various things. One of these things was Flippy, as he was coming into the school building. Flaky burst out the door, splattering him with her blood. Flippy stared at the crimson liquid that had fallen on to him and then felt Evil knocking on the doors of his mind.
As he dashed down the street after the screaming porcupine, he began to wonder if he would do more harm than good. His lip was quivering as Evil began trying to take him over and he knew that Flaky would die an even worse death if that happened. But then again, if he did nothing, Flaky would probably run around screaming until she fell to the ground, white and dry as her blood spilled from her body, pain wracking every fiber-…
He cut the thought of. He didn't like to even think of the pain she was in now. And was determined to help, if that meant dying in the process. He put on the extra speed his legs had developed during the war and his eyes narrowed to slits, his arms pumping as he took after her. He was gaining fast; he could see her only a few feet ahead of himself. But in her panic she was a fast runner and had no intention of stopping or tiring. Flippy on the other hand would, no matter how powerful he was. He noticed gauze wrapping around a crack in Cro-Marmots ice casing, as the tree friend came up on his right. He quickly tore it from the ice and put on his last burst of speed.
He took the wrapping in both hands and leapt forward. He had heard that things went in slow motion in situations like this, but it certainly didn't. He felt his teeth turning into knives as he came flying at Flaky, seeing the bloody spraying, but Flippy tackled her to the ground and it was Flippy who was holding her down. He reached into his jacket as she struggled beneath him, too shocked and panicked to think of what was going on around her. Her eyes bulged in fear and flakes were flying in every direction. He pulled out a small capsule and broke the casing. Inside was a piece of sulfur which he had used during the war as a painkiller, and he still kept some with him. He broke it apart and jammed each part into the wounds at her wrists. He then quickly began wrapping her gnawed finger bones up, counting them as he wrapped them to make sure they were all there.
Inside of Flippy's house, Flaky lay on the table, whimpering in pain. The hurt had dulled since Flippy had gotten a hold of her and helped her, but it was still intense. Flippy now sat on her, straddling her as he had had to do to keep her down at the time he had dragged her inside, and was now removing the bandages carefully and taking what wasn't absorbed of the sulfur out. He gently cleaned the wounds for her, clenching his teeth every time she cried out or whined in pain, and re-wrapped them, injecting her with morphine and laying her gently on the couch where she fell asleep from the drug. He went to the kitchen, washing the blood from his paws. As he looked out the window, he saw a jet shoot by, leaving a trail of smoke in the atmosphere.
Flaky woke up to the running of water in her ear. She opened her eyes and look to the tap that was filling the sink with water, within which she lay. She looked around confused.
"Flippy?" She called.
Then, here came the bear, his head down as he approached the sink. Her eyes lit up.
"Oh Flippy! Thank you so much for-…"
She stopped when he looked up, brandishing his fork and knife, and his eyes and teeth matching the eyes and teeth of the fish she had been attacked by not three or four hours ago.
There you have it. Not all will be as morbid as this one, but I chose to try the regular "Happy Tree Friends" style displayed in the show. Please review and let me know what you think.
