Time for another fanfic. Another HTF fanfic. Think of this as a sequel to Home is where the Heart is. I think at least somebody will survive though.
I don't feel like making a fanfic where everybody dies.
Though maybe somebody who's part of the HTF community does.
Handy: You can't shake hands with him, unfortunately. Though you could say hello to him.
Lifty and Shifty: This is starting to remind me of a Christmas movie. You might be able to guess which one.
Lumpy: Will he kill everybody again? Though perhaps they could have unfolded the blueprint before they built the house.
Giggles: She won't be giggling if she dies. You can count on that. Though I wonder how she can keep giggling givem how many times she's died.
Petunia: She learned that water snd electricity didn't mix. And Lumpy and pipes don't mix, either. Not to mention Mole and wood chippers.
Cuddles: He's…cuddly. I need to come up with better summaries for the characters.
Toothy: Yes, he has a toothbrush.
Cub: He's not a lion cub. Otherwise he would probably be starring in an animated movie father than an animated series. He might still die though. Maybe trampled by a wildebeest stampede?
Pop: He likes to drink soda. Surprised? Of course, he'll probably eat rock candy with it and make his head explode.
After the disaster that had occurred that had resulted in the deaths of his friends and himself, Handy decided he would restart his construction project.
Hopefully Giggles wouldn't meet her maker in her own home. If she had to die repeatedly, it might as well not happen inside her own household.
It was a warm, sunny day, so now seemed like a good time to do some work. The weather channel said that it would remain sunny all day. Which was good, since thunderstorms were known to kill Happy Tree Friends.
This time, Lumpy would not be allowed to play with the blueprints. Petunia was keeping an eye on him.
They didn't want a repeat as to what happened. Petunia ended up being electrocuted, Giggles had been cut up by nails, and Handy had a spike lodged in his face. Though it was anyone's guess as to how The Mole ended up being decapitated by the top half of a two-part door.
And it was for Lumpy's own good too. Petunia seemed to recall him being cut into chunks when a mattress fell on top of him. Talk about a deathbed.
And they had landed on her, unfortunately. She hated being remotely messy, so she panicked when the chunks of flesh fell on her.
Of course, she likely would have panicked even if she wasn't a neat freak. For she wasn't a cannibal. No Happy Tree Friend was.
Small wonder she wanted to take a shower afterwards.
Unfortunately, Lumpy had mixed the water and electrical pipes together. If he had more common sense, he would know that was never a good idea.
Even an apprentice handyman would know that.
It ended as well for Petunia as one might expect. Unfortunately, her fur did not insulate her from the electricity when it entered her bathtub.
Mole wasn't chosen to be part of the construction project this time. Last time that happened he shoved Cuddles into a wood chipper.
That was not a pleasant experience.
But at least he had been shoved in face first. Otherwise that would have hurt like hell.
Luckily, the construction project didn't have any casualties this time.
Cub was not allowed to play with the construction tools.
Especially not the power drill.
Handy warned Pop that could potentially kill Cub. He already had a nasty death involving a razor and he didn't want history to repeat itself.
For a while, it seemed everything was fine.
"Looks like a job well done!" remarked Handy with a wide smile on his face. He was so pleased with himself.
This time he checked to see if the house was in the right shape, which it was.
Now the Happy Tree Friends could relax in peace.
They had earned it.
It seemed the house was safe enough not even Cub would die in it. He was the most fragile member of the Happy Tree Friends, which was really saying something.
Though he didn't seem to be dying lately. He got his hands on a gun once, but it wasn't loaded so he didn't shoot himself.
Still, Cuddles couldn't help but feel that the house was a bit…ominous.
So he decided to go for a nature walk with Giggles instead of entering it.
Unfortunately, the peace in the house didn't last.
Lifty and Shifty came to rob the place.
The two of them laughed in unison, as they always did. Perhaps Happy Tree Friends should listen so that they would be notified of their presence, seeing as they were always up to no good.
Unfortunately, Handy did not include a burglar alarm. Maybe he should have done that. You never knew when Lifty and Shifty were going to be in a HTF episode.
However, Giggles realized what was going on.
She had seen them coming from the window.
She informed Handy of what was happening.
The orange beaver wondered when they would learn that money wouldn't buy you happiness. It only bought those two death.
They had tried to rob Flippy once. The world may never know what those two were thinking.
He sent Lumpy to take care of the two.
Lumpy wasn't happy that his leisure time had been interrupted.
He was watching a movie where a treasure hunter went into a pyramid.
The moose yelled at them to stop stealing everything.
They had worked hard on that house…and he didn't want their efforts go to waste.
Although, he hadn't done much himself. He spent most of the job sleeping.
Handy hadn't been happy with him.
Suddenly, a chandelier fell on top of him.
The results were gruesome.
And yes, there was a splash of blood.
Lifty and Shifty were surprised at the occurrence. Their eyes widened with shock.
It was weird that the chandelier had fallen given that Lumpy didn't use the blueprints to make a bird this time. Did somebody forget to screw it on tight? That seemed reasonable.
Maybe it was just the Happy Tree Friends' terrible luck.
Petunia was the one who discovered Lumpy's body.
His blood was all over the carpet.
"I think I'm going to be sick!" exclaimed the skunk.
Then again, this hadn't been the first time she had seen Lumpy die.
The blue skunk went to inform Handy of the news.
"Handy! Lumpy's dead!" exclaimed Petunia.
"Oh no…" remarked the orange beaver.
It was happening again.
Happy Tree Friends were dying. This house was going to be painted with blood…which made Handy a bit curious as to why he painted it in the first place.
Oh, that's right. Giggles liked the color pink. Though admittedly, red wasn't too far from pink.
Although, Handy thought it was unusual for Lumpy to be the first character to die in an episode. Usually he was saved for later. For example, he died at the end of that scenario where Pop operated that drill machine. He saved Cub, thank goodness, but by then several Happy Tree Friends were dead.
"Who do you think is going to be next?" asked Handy. They could try evacuating the house as they had done before, but none of them had escaped the house alive last time. So it might be futile.
"It's hard to tell." answered Petunia.
It could be anyone.
Though at least they wouldn't have to worry about Lumpy being responsible for more deaths. At least until he came back to life.
Though there was that one occasion where he came back to life slower than usual. Sniffles tried to rectify that, but he only made things worse. Seemed he had given him a taste for Happy Tree Friend flesh.
"Whoa! That was nasty!" remarked Lifty at Lumpy's death.
Lifty and Shifty were shocked at what happened. They hadn't intended for the house robbery to end in violence. Otherwise, they would have come to the house armed with weapons.
But at least they didn't have to worry about Lumpy stopping them.
"Should we steal the chandelier? It's kind of bloody." pointed out Lifty. And it brought bad memories of Lumpy getting killed. Once again, he had been crushed to death. Though the other Happy Tree Friends would likely be safer in his absence.
"We can wipe it off." suggested Shifty.
The two wiped off the chandelier.
It was heavy, but they placed it in the loot bag.
No doubt that golden chandelier would be worth a fortune.
Pop went to inform Handy of more bad news.
Cub had somehow been poisoned…and then he died.
Handy went to investigate. Had Cub drank toxic chemicals underneath the sink? He told Lumpy to keep them above the sink where Cub couldn't get them.
As it turned out, Pop had neglected to change Cub's diaper, which had resulted in a mortal gas emanating from it.
Luckily, it only seemed to be lethal to infants. So Pop and Handy were safe.
They would need to quarantine the room in case Cub reincarnated and wished to visit the room again though.
"I need to dispose of this diaper." noted Handy.
He covered his nose and picked it up, and prepared to carry it outside.
"You do that, I'm going to have a smoke." answered Pop.
Handy realized what was going to happen.
"Pop! No!" warned the beaver.
But it was already too late.
Pop was blown to bits.
But luckily Handy survived.
Toothy witnessed them robbing the house.
"Not another witness!" exclaimed Shifty, his eyes widening with fear. This robbery was not going according to plan.
The purple beaver attempted to call the police.
Hopefully they could take care of those two.
Lifty attempted to stop him. The police car might run over Toothy, anyway. The policeman might turn out to be the mole, and it wasn't exactly unheard of for the Mole to drive a vehicle despite the obvious fact he couldn't see.
Although, maybe he wasn't this episode.
The two of them got into a fight.
But Toothy came out on top.
"Yeah!" exclaimed the purple beaver, raising his purple hands in the air.
Suddenly, some plates fell from the cabinet.
Lifty quickly moved out of the way.
But they sliced Toothy into several pieces.
"I spent my time washing these. How ironic." remarked Toothy's ghost.
He considered himself lucky his death was swift and painless this time. Sometimes his deaths could be pretty painful.
But still, being cut into pieces wasn't a pretty sight. He counted that he had been sliced into six pieces total.
Shifty noticed that his younger brother was injured.
"What happened to you?" asked Shifty.
"I got into a scuffle with a beaver…who is now dead." answered Lifty.
"Another one?" questioned the older of the two raccoon twins. Happy Tree Friends were dying fast.
Lifty nodded. He got cut up when some plates fell on him.
"Which one? The one with the hard hat or the one with hands?" asked Shifty.
"The one with hands." explained Lifty. It wasn't hard to tell them apart.
"This house is getting deadlier by the minute…" remarked Shifty. It reminded him of the time they tried to rob Flippy and discovered his house was filled with deathtraps. After what had happened it was doubtful they would try that again.
Perhaps they should leave before they end up getting killed too.
But on the other hand, the loot bag was only half full.
Petunia was currently using the vacuum cleaner.
It was a good idea to keep the house clean.
She then discovered Toothy's body when she went to clean the dishes.
"Oh no! Poor Toothy!" exclaimed Petunia, her hands pressed against her head.
She decided to back away from the body. This was the second body she had discovered.
Afterwards, she went to the bathroom to vomit from the disgusting sight she had witnessed.
Unfortunately, she fell into the toilet where she was sucked down the drain.
Her hand stuck out from the drain, shaking her fist before she gave up the ghost.
Who would have thought a toilet could be so deadly?
Then again, in the world of Happy Tree Friends, anything could be deadly. There was a Happy Tree Friend who had splattered from falling from a tree…that was only ten feet high.
Handy discovered Petunia's body when he himself went to use the restroom.
"Not Petunia too!" exclaimed Handy.
He could only hope Cuddles and Giggles were doing alright. Now that he thought of it, he hadn't seen them inside the house. Did they decide to leave?
If so, chances are they had made the best decision.
Suddenly, Lifty and Shifty stole his construction hat.
"Hey!" exclaimed Handy.
It looked like he was going to have to try to get it back.
He chased them into the bedroom.
Shifty threw a pillow at him.
"This makes me feel like a girl." noted the green raccoon.
Which was kind of weird given the lack of female characters in Happy Tree Friends.
He was knocked backward and splattered on the ground when he fell from an open window.
Even though it was only two stories tall.
At this point, the raccoon with the hat decided that they had stayed in the house long enough.
"OK, that's it! We're getting out of here!" exclaimed Shifty.
Why did all these deaths keep happening, anyway? It seemed awfully weird that Petunia got sucked down a toilet drain.
It was as if the house was cursed or something.
He could dwell on it later.
For now, he needed to escape this death trap.
"Hey Shifty! I've almost filled the loot bag!" exclaimed Lifty.
"Thank goodness." answered Shifty. He had had it with this crazy place.
"And done…that golden miniature idol will sure sell well." answered the younger of the raccoon brothers.
Shifty gasped.
He had a feeling what that idol was.
He decided to take a look at it.
Yep, it was the very same.
The cursed idol Sniffles found.
Unfortunately, Handy had brought it in to use as a decoration.
You'd think it was Lumpy who brought it in, but no.
Shortly after their discovery, the roof began to crack.
Lifty and Shifty knew what was going to happen next.
The roof collapsed, and they both died.
"Why does this keep happening to us?" asked Shifty's ghost, scratching his spectral head.
"It would help if you didn't leave me to die." pointed out Lifty's ghost. Was money really more important to him? He could return from death, but still.
Shifty rolled his eyes.
"We never survive an episode!" complained Lifty, crossing his arms. It was so unfair. They didn't see the Mole dying often. Even though he was blind and likely wouldn't recognize danger.
"Isn't this a fanfic?" asked Shifty. Though this would probably make for an interesting Happy Tree Friends episode.
"Oh yeah." recalled the younger of the two raccoons.
The two departed for the afterlife…though they would be back tomorrow. Death was never permanent in the world of Happy Tree Friends. Unless you counted Cub's mother. She might consider herself lucky she wasn't trapped in the horrific cycle Cub and her husband were in. Though Cub's deaths might be avoidable if his mom was still around.
Shortly after Lifty and Shifty's robbery had led to their deaths, Cuddles and Giggles came back from a nature walk.
They discovered everybody had died.
Luckily, the Golden Idol had gone to sleep.
It had decided it had done enough killing…for now.
Cuddles and Giggles were upset everybody else had died. Though they weren't terribly upset about Lifty and Shifty dying. They had tried to rob the place.
Still, they had survived, so they figured that was something worth celebrating.
Maybe they could throw a party?
They could invite a Happy Tree Friend or two that was currently still alive.
Well, not everybody died this time. Cuddles and Giggles live to see another day.
I figured I would think outside the box and have them both live.
I decided to include the cursed idol because I figured there should be a reason for everyone's deaths.
