"Did you misplace it?"
"NO! It was right here on my nightstand!"
"You mean your boxes?"
"Shut up and keep looking!"
The raccoon brothers woke up to discover that their krytonut was missing. After tearing up the apart, they found no clues to finding their messing gem. Hours of searching and arguing, Lifty and Shifty were dumbfounded at the case of the missing gem. Ruling out that they had misplaced it, they figured it was stolen.
"Stealing from a thieve, how pathetic is that?" Lifty mumbled as he kicked a box full of heavy items. "So who stoled it?" Shifty ponder as Lifty hopped , holding his injured foot.
"Maybe it was Splendid?" Lifty question as he rub his throbbing foot. Shifty gave his brother's foot a whack, making Lifty cringed in pain.
"No way it was that goody-goody. A: He wouldn't go near krytonut with a 10-foot pole. B: He doesn't know where we live. C: Even if he did, he would have just crashed through the window and gave us a lecture on our bad morales, Splendid can't be subtile."
The twins made mental lists of all possible suspects but not one Happy Tree Friend could have done it. Mole was blind, Toothy is in love with Splendid, and Lumpy was too much of an idiot. Lifty and Shifty finally gave up on the suspect list and discussed what they were gonna do with their museum robbery later that night.
"Since Splendid probably still thinks we have the krytonut, how about we act like we still do."
"What do you mean Shifty?"
"What I mean is, what about we get a look-alike box and pretend that krytonut is in it. Splendid would be so scared that we don't even have to open the box. Then we can rob the museum!"
"That's brilliant Shifty!" Lifty's eyes twinkle in admiration of his older brother. So much that he didn't even mind when Shifty ordered him to find him a box.
It was time to get to work.
Splendid soared above the clouds searching for citizens in need of help. He signed. If the thieves hold up a heist tonight, he'll be a deadman as long as they had the krytonut. Just as he finished his thought, an alarm sounded off..
The museum's alarm.
"Can't that place get better security?" Splendid did a U-turn and headed towards the museum, "and my doom." Splendid glumly thought as he caught sight of the twins.
Lifty and Shifty laugh as they walked out of the museum, hands full of loot.
"That was way too easy!" Shifty said between laughs.
"We're gonna get alot of...mo...ney..." Lifty trailed off as he noticed Splendid hovering about them.
"You have five seconds to put our national treasures back or else." Lifty and Shifty eyed each other and gave a knowing smile as they took out a box that looked exactly like the one the krytonut was contained in. "Or else what?" Splendid hoped that wouldn't have asked that. He took a step back. He had to do something, but what? After several
seconds, Lifty and Shifty knew it was time to make their grand escape. If Splendid knew that they didn't have the krytonut no more, he might "accidentality" kill them.
"So long!" Shifty dashed to the van, his brother slightly behind from carrying the box and more loot. "Why do I have to be the pack-monkey?" Lifty thought just before he tripped on a jagged rock. The box flew from his hands and onto the ground.
And it opened, revealing it was empty.
Shifty's cheeks turned pink as Splendid's face turned red. Shifty feebly attempted to dash to van again but Splendid was already in front of him before he could even blink.
"You're in big trouble." Shifty gulp as Splendid glared at him. They didn't even hear Lifty's soft cries of pain over the cut of his foot. Shifty took a step back from the blue hero. "What are you going to do to me?"
"I am going to-UGH!" Splendid cried out in pain and fell on the ground. He puked and his eyes were rim with red. Shifty, shocked over the hero's sudden pain, look around his surroundings and notices a shadowed figure. "Who are you?" Shifty yelled at the mysterious figure. Splendid turned his head at what Shifty was yelling at. He notices the figure and weakly says to figure, "Not you again."
