A while later outside Sniffles's house, there was a small studio built in his backyard.

Inside the studio, Handy and Toothy were talking.

"Why do we even need an audition tape in the first place?" Handy asked as Toothy grabbed a camera.

"Just in case." The other beaver replied with a dorky smile that made Handy give him an annoyed stare.

They looked at the scenery for their audition. It was a large sky blue wallpaper with fluffy clouds strewn about. The landscape was accompanied by a group of enormous, yet robotic flowers of many colors and types that stood high over the heads of the beavers.

"Do you like it?" Sniffles asked the duo as he walked over. "These are flowers produced by special metals that increase with magnitude from the solar energy lights."

"What lights?" Asked Toothy. Sniffles pointed up to the ceiling.

Above them was the ceiling filled with many lights that looked similar to a solar panel.

"They're all installed in this studio thanks to my genius." He replied.

Handy looked back to the set and looked up to see Flaky, who was sitting on one of the large sunflowers that stood 3 or 4 feet above the ground.

She was wearing a short yellow dress with a diagonal black stripe pattern and short ruffled sleeves. On her head was a headband with a pair of long bug antenna and on her back was a pair of fake bug wings.

Laughing nervously, Flaky looked down to see what was going on below her.

However, noticing how far from the ground she was caused her fur to turn pale with fear. The timid porcupine shirked in terror as she cowered from behind the gigantic yellow petals.

Back down, Cuddles (dressed as a ladybug) and Nutty (dressed as a dung beetle) were carrying a large boom-box with Toothy as Sniffles was getting the camera ready for shooting.

Placing the boom-box down, Toothy pressed a button and a song came out flooding the studio's silence.

~And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out, what's in my head

And I-I-I've been feeling a little peculiar~

"Why did we even agree to play that song in the first place?" Sniffles asked Flippy, who simply shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "I have no idea!"

Meanwhile, Flaky's ears flickered at the sound of the music.

~And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take a deep breath and get real high~

It sounded rather catchy for Flaky as she began to smile a tiny bit. The melody of the electronic keyboard and the 1990's tone was soothing and playful, giving her a message of friendship. Closing her eyes, her paws sat gently on her knees and bobbed her head back and forth to the beat. She even started to hum a few bars with all of her soft voice.

~And I say at the top of my lungs

"What's going on?"~

Sniffles quickly pressed the recording button of the camera, signaling Cuddles and Nutty to start dancing on the set.

Flippy couldn't hold in his laughter when he noticed Nutty doing the moonwalk. Cuddles tried not to be a show off when he did some if the famous moves from Saturday Night Fever.

"Flaky, we're on!" Sniffles shouted to the porcupine. Flaky woke up and laughed little bit. But for her in the weirdest of reasons, she had an massive urge to dance to the vivid music.

~ And I say, HEYEAYEAYEAYEA!

HEYEAYEA! I say Hey!
What's going on!~

Carefully climbing down the long stem of the sunflower, Flaky's feet later touched the ground and timidly walked up a few steps toward the center of the set.

She felt a bit awkward from how Nutty and Cuddles were dancing like goofballs. Toothy was giving her two thumbs up while Handy was about to do the same, until he remembered his loss of paws and did his "angry face".

The urge inside her forced her feet to suddenly scatter one place to another. Her left foot would tap as her right foot leaned to its rightful side. Feeling the music flowing through her arms, she decided to let it circulate by swaying her arms in the same tempo as her feet.

Before she knew, Flaky, the shy and timid angel, was dancing! Each passing second felt refreshing and she didn't want to stop.

She began to laugh gleefully as she even did a few spins in a circle. Sniffles and Flippy smiled as they watched her blossom on the set from her newfound courage.

"It's so…adorable!" Flippy said, choking up a little as he wiped a few tears out of his eyes.

Sniffles nodded in agreement. "Yes, she does have good dance skills for someone so precious to one's relationship." The aardvark replied..

~And I say, HEYEAYEAYEAYEA!

HEYEAYEA! I say hey!

What's going on!~

"You're doing great, Flaky!" Flippy called out to the dancing female.

~(And he tries)

Oh my God, do I try

I try all the time

In this institution~

It was hard to tell if Flaky even heard him because she was too sucked up in the song.

Meanwhile, Handy was dancing by himself in a little circle, waving his nubs up and down.

"Robo Arms, Robo Arms, I'm gonna get my Robo Arms!" he chanted in a sing-song voice. Handy immediately stopped dancing when he noticed Toothy glaring at him.

The amputee laughed nervously as Toothy rolled his eyes reluctantly.

~(And he prays)

Oh my God, do I pray

I pray to seek the day

(Rawr!)

For revolution!~

Flaky on the other paw, was busy in the middle of a spin that was more graceful than a ballerina.

~And I say, HEYEAYEAYEAYEA!

HEYEAYEA!~

"Back Flip!" Nutty yelled as he jumped in the air to do his flip.

But instead, he tripped on his own tail and crashed into Flaky, forcing her to crash into Cuddles and all three of them fell on the ground in a choir of painful groans.

"Cut! Cut! Sniffles shouted as Flippy rushed to their aid.

(A few minutes and a ton of band-aids later)

"I've got good news and bad news." Sniffles said as Flippy removed the last of Flaky's quills off a Cuddles's face.

"What's the bad news?" Nutty asked.

"The camera is out of space, but the good news is that it caught everything before the accident!" The aardvark smiled. Flippy and Flaky sighed in total relief.

Picking Flaky up on her feet, Nutty laughed nervously as he spoke.

"So Flakes, no hard feelings?" He asked.

He kinda excpected her to agree with a sweet apology, but that's when she crossed her arms with a stubborn look on her face.

It was very rare for Flaky to even do a scowl due to her paranoid persona. Something was definatly wrong with her.

"What? Are you okay?" Nutty asked again.

Flaky stomped her foot on the ground and Nutty almost jumped in the air. Cuddles and Sniffles raised an eyebrow in suprise and shock.

"What's even okay in the first place?" Flaky barked in a demanding voice. Nutty and Cuddles yelped at her sudden transformation from shy to sassy in only 3 or 2 seconds.

"You threw off my groove!" She continued. The two boys shrugged thier shoulders at each other.

All Nutty did was simply trip, and now it led all the way to a Flaky that they never even knew. Normally, Flaky would smile and say "That's okay.".This was a completaly different thing.

They were stopped when Flippy started pushing them aside. "What the heck, man!" Cuddles whined to the military bear.

"I'm sorry, but you did throw off Flaky's groove." He replied with a reluctant smile on his face.

Then he turned over to Flaky, who was looking and her arms still crossed.

"What's the matter, Flaky? You were doing so great!" Flippy said, making the porcupine turn around slowly with a smirk.

Why the heck is she smirking, Flippy thought before she spoke.

"Don't you get it? This pageant could change my life. Or just maybe, i could be one of the brave girls!" Flaky chirped in her normal voice, but it was more cheerful.

"I'm just glad you took the time to understand!" She said before giving Flippy a small kiss on the cheek. Being given the kiss, Flippy's only option was to blush.

She ran back over to Sniffles for a talk, leaving behind a blank faced, obviously confused Flippy to stand there.

Blinking a few times, her chuckled to himself. There could be now way that Flaky could be acting spunky.

"Oh well, it's not like her career should be the death of me." he smirked as he began to leave. Just when turned to the front door, he heard the voices of the others.

"Flaky, you're gonna knock 'em dead when that pageant starts!" Handy smiled.

"Yeah! They won't even see it coming!" Flaky replied.

"It's an act to DIE for!" Cuddles said.

Hearing the entire converstation, Flippy's fur went pale as he fainted on the floor.

For some reason, none of the others had noticed.
