It was a cloudy, cold autumn day in Happy Tree Town. Outside on the streets and playgrounds, none of the Tree-Friends was seen. Everyone spent the day with himself or in his friends home. So also in Flippys house, where an illustrious circle of men had taken to playing poker in cigar smoke, while had met a girl round in the next room, which talked about gossip.
You could actually call a party, which approached in the house of the war vet at the so gloomy autumn day.
The poker game consisted of Flippy, Lumpy, Cuddles and the raccoon twins and each had a big cigar in his mouth, while he peered at his cards.
"I'm out.", Flippy said, laying his cards on the table.
"Me too.", Cuddles said afterwards.
"I raise with 10", Shifty said challenging and giggled with his diabolical grin.
Lifty put his cards on the table and muttered unintelligible.
Lumpy's eyes remained motionless fixed on his cards.
"... Lumpy. It's your turn.", Flippy remembered the big moose.
The blue animal dramatically way the fingers, with an enlightening facial expression and ... remained silent.
"... Uh ... no.", and made a disappointed face.
At the table they collectively sighed and were getting impatient.
"Get out or go with, you moron.", blurted out Shifty grouching.
Lumpy looked at him with wide eyes, as if he had not understood his words.
"But ... we don´t go yet.", Lumpy said as he looked around the room.
Everyone groaned at the table and/or face-palmed, about the stupidity of the village idiot.
"Please Lumpy ... just play on.", Cuddles admonished him exhausted.
The moose seemed not to understand the excitement, shrugged and lay down his cards.
"Oh Hehehehe.", Shifty giggled and cash the pot. "I´m winning again.", boasted the Fedora wearing raccoon.
"Say Flippy ...", Cuddles said the arms crossed, "Sure, that they aren´t cheating?", and scowled at the kleptomaniac twins, who also glanced at him darkly.
Flippy puffed casually from his cigar.
"Not when I'm here. They're afraid of me. "
"Oh ... I see ..." Cuddles loosened his arms understanding, but then threw back a dark look at the two.
"But why are they even here?"
Lifty answered the question instead:
"Because you are crappy players.", did his cheeky snicker and give his brother a high-five.
Cuddles glance was then more sinister until Flippy intervened again.
"They´re good players and there wasn´t much selection. A round of threes just doesn´t make fun."
"Yeah ...", Shifty said, serious this time, "Besides, there´re worse as Flippy in this cursed village."
Cuddles laughed, again apparently in a good mood.
"That's right. As our village idiot. "
"Huh? Who is the village idiot? ", asked Lumpy into it.
"YOU!", everyone said in unison and Lumpy began for some reason to laugh loudly, while the others looked at him oddly.
"But the worst of all is Splendid.", Lifty interjected and his brother nodded.
"Is he really that bad?", asked Flippy.
"Oh, you haven´t met him, right?", asked Cuddles and Flippy said no.
"Yeah, he's that bad. He regularly destroyed the whole village, with his rescue attempts.", Cuddles replied to the original question and Flippy again drew on his cigar thoughtfully.
"Then he should just stop it.", Flippy finally said.
"Ha, it would be nice.", Shifty and Lifty said synchronously.
"He won´t stop. He has his fans and obviously too much time.", grumbled Cuddles and began to mix the cards.
"He needs a girlfriend.", Lumpy said in the round.
Everyone froze and looked at the blue moose with big eyes, which, however, only further smoked his cigar and saved the explanation apparently.
"Hey ... that's not that stupid.", Cuddles said suddenly, everyone looked at him now instead of Lumpy.
"Think about it. Who has a girlfriend, has to be around her all the time. Her chatter listen, go romantic with her and don´t forget the jealousy ... With a girlfriend he would decide between her and his heroic life. "
Flippy, Shifty and Lifty placed a paw to the chin and thought about Cuddles words.
Lumpy seemed meanwhile to devote all his attention to the chip bowl.
"Well ... how should we do it?" Flippy finally asked.
"We just fake a rescue ac-"
"No.", interrupted Lifty, Cuddles.
"It´s Splendid. No matter what, how, and where we make it, he screwed it up and kill us all."
"Any kind of better suggestion?", asked Cuddles annoyed.
"Hmm ..." mused Shifty, "If Splendid doesn´t come to the girls, the girls have just come to Splendid ..."
Cuddles grimaced. "And how should we do that?"
"I know one way.", Flippy spoke up.
"One of my old comrades did send me a letter that he was afraid he would be, well ... gay ... because he didn´t get a girl. Three months later, I met him at a veterans' meeting with his fourth girlfriend since then. He told me when he had telling around he would have had other inclinations, the girls suddenly stormed his stall. Meanwhile, he is a dirtier womanizer like Disco Bear, only with the difference that the women actually like him. "
"Wait a minute ..." Cuddles said incredulously, "So you're saying if we bring Splendid to say he would be on the other side, he would get a girlfriend?"
"I don´t know why, but women lose any shyness in front of a fag.", mused Flippy.
Then Shifty spoke up: "Okay, put the case a woman would really fall in love with him as she thinks she couldn´t get him, how he will get her ultimately?"
"Then it's time for a tear-jerking story of the kind 'You've changed everything, blah blah blah', or some of that shit.", Flippy replied.
In the round of silence, everyone thought about Flippys proposal. Only Lumpys crunching disturbed the backdrop.
"... An attempt would be worth.", said Cuddles finally and the raccoons nodded in agreement.
"Now we just have to find a way to initiate the whole ...", muttered Lifty.

Flaky was sitting bored on the sofa. So she has surely not imagine a ´funny´ girls evening, with Giggles, Petunia and Lammy. They drank tea and chatted all the time only about horoscopes, clothing or other boring topics with which the little red tomboy couldn´t do anything. Much rather she would has talked about sports, or even from her about politics, only away from these issues, where she absolutely couldn´t has a say.
Purely by chance crossed her eyes, finally, the door to the room where the guys were playing poker and confident talking about interesting topics.
Maybe I can join them, thought Flaky a little hopeful.
Normally the shy porcupine would not dare to disturb the other evening, but the view to possibly be saved from the boredom, drove her.
Reluctantly, she got up, unnoticed by the others and went to the closed door where she knocked loudly three times.
"Yes?", came muffled from the room and Flaky opened the door. The five guys looked at her questioningly.
"Um ...", Flaky took her shy posture with a bowed head and legs pressed together and gave her typical nervous laughter of the best.
"Ha ... Ha ... h-how is i-it ...", she finally asked, smiling shyly.
"Well ..." Flippy began.
"SPLENDID IS GAY.", Lumpy called out of nowhere.
"Huh?" Flaky was confused, while the boys threw glares at Lumpy.
What is going on here?, wondered Flaky as she was pushed aside at once from Giggles, and Petunia and Lammy, who also crowded into the room.
"What? Who's gay?", Giggles asked excitedly in her high-pitched voice.
Everyone looked at Lumpy, who only calmly munching chips and didn´t say anything.
Flippy growled subdued: "Splendid."
"Really?", Petunia asked.
"Yes.", Cuddles said, also a scowl towards Lumpy throwing.
Suddenly Giggles began downright to squeak:
"I knew it!", and started along with Petunia and Lammy, giggling in a very girlish manner.
Only Flaky was totally confused about their excitement between the bundle of giggling girls and the boys, who first also looked surprised, but then himself grinning at each other.
To the guys at the table she asked puzzled, but still a little shy:
"W-Where ... you know that?"
The grin was suddenly replaced by a helpless look around the table.
"Um ...", Shifty began, "... uh ... it ... is ... obviously.", and tried to sit up a trusting smile, which ended, with his sheepish mood and his shaped by the diabolical grin face, in an ugly grimace.
Flaky let out a frightened "Huh?" and backed a little. The facial expression scared her.
The men´s had to chuckle at Shiftys failing attempt, until Flippy smiling confidently took over at once.
"Splendid not admit it and ...-we were just talking about how we get him to do it."
That answered Flakys original question not, but before she could ask, suddenly Giggles came between them.
"Oh, how cute.", she squealed, "We should make an intervention, with posters and flowers and-"
"Balloons.", added Petunia, not less enthusiastic.
The girls clapped with joy, except for Flaky of course, which was lost somewhere between enthusiastic women and whispered to each other guys.
…Whispering guys? What's going on here?, wondered Flaky. She could feel that something was wrong here.
.
The next day were gathered together the same Happy Tree Friends again, but only this time at Giggles home and without the raccoon twins. They had logged off because they thought that they would only interfere and Splendid would then suspect that would be only a nasty act.
Giggles, Petunia and Lammy had the living room festively decorated, also Flaky had helped, and above all on the ceiling, a pink poster emblazoned on the stand: "I love my gay hero.", where the "love" was symbolized by a heart.
"Jeez, that woman go so crazy, I had never expected.", Flippy whispered to Cuddles and Lumpy, which slightly off consulted with each other.
"But it works.", replied Cuddles.
"Once Splendid comes in and is reluctant at first, I pull him aside and explain to him under pretext of the situation. But I hope he plays with. "
"Don´t worry. If he doesn´t, he´s either homophobic or actually gay.", Flippy whispered with side views of the three girls who had specially even made pretty.
"Hohoho, that is a good prank.", chuckled Lumpy.
"This is not ..." Cuddles continued angrily, but broke off.
"... No matter."
And thus the triple circle of conspirators broke again to go to their positions, which purported them Petunia.
Once everything was perfect, Giggles opened the door, took a deep breath and screamed in a high tone of her lungs.
It caused a ringing in the ears of each other, and seconds later crashed Splendid already through the roof, as it was predictable.
Dust and debris lay down as the heroic squirrel looked around with a broad chest and realized that he was in the middle of a circle of smiling people.
"INTERVENTION.", Giggles, Petunia, Lammy and Lumpy shouted cheerfully, while Flaky, Flippy and Cuddles, just quietly stood up and gave their best to look friendly.
Splendid was visibly confused and frowned until his gaze fell on the poster on the ceiling and he was ashen.
"WHERE DID YOU KNOW THAT?"
Splendid quickly covered his mouth with his paws, scared of his own exclamation.
The girls laughed merrily, Flaky didn´t understand why and the boys ...
Well the boys tear open wide their eyes, had their jaw dropping and staring at the blue flying squirrel with red mask, stunned.
