"I don't know how to tell you this but…our town is cursed-" and that was all I heard before random pole flew through my stomach.
Cuddles' POV
I sighed in exasperation as I watched a spear fly through Butch. "With my luck, I'm probably next." I thought to myself. Suddenly another spear flew through my stomach. I fell forward and uttered a single "Damn." Before the world went black.
Butch's POV
"Well that happened." I thought to myself as I floated in a vast void of nothingness. No fair, my life is was way to crappy to end like this. Couldn't at least one good thing have happened before I died? Is that too much to ask? Suddenly I saw a light in the distance. Although, the weird thing was I started to move away from it. "I thought I was supposed to go towards the light!" I thought in alarm. I tried doing a swimming like motion to try to pull myself back, but I only got thrust deeper into the darkness. I thought it was the end when suddenly, I heard voices. "He's moving" "I think he's waking up" "Yeah"
My eyes flew open and I gasped for air as I sat in the all too familiar hospital bed. Crowded around me were three familiar faces. Two of the faces I knew from the pictures adorning the walls of Cuddles' house. One face I knew from my stay here just a few hours ago. The pink chipmunk and mauve beaver watched me with wide eyes along with Sniffles. I turned to see Cuddles gasp to life on the hospital bed next to mine. "I-" was all I could say before the pink chipmunk girl tackled/hugged the air out of my lungs "OHMANIAMSOSOSORRYIMEANWEDIDNTEVENSEEYOUDONTBEANGR YPLEASEWEDIDNTTRYTOKILLYOUITJUSTHAPPENEDCHIPMUNKSA RESUPPOSEDTOBEKEENHOWCOULDTHISHAPPE-" "Giggles , calm down he's fine!" yelled the mauve beaver as he pulled her off of me. The two proceeded to have a conversation as I gasped for air."Sorry," said Giggles "I guess I almost got carried away." "Almost? You 'almost' killed the guy!" yelled the beaver "C'mon Toothy, it wasn't that bad." said Giggles. "Yes it was Giggles, you gotta be more careful or else you'll-" "HELLO!?" I screamed in frustration. All heads turned towards me. "OK. 1: Déjà vu, and 2: WHAT IS GOIING ON!"
Everyone was quiet for a beat until Sniffles decided to break the silence. "Well…" Sniffles began hesitantly. Suddenly Cuddles interrupted. "It's ok Sniffs, I'll tell him." said Cuddles, as he sat up, stretched and walked over to us. "To put it simply: you died." said Cuddles. It was my turn to be quiet for a moment. "Huh, well I guess that makes sense." I said. Sniffles gave me a surprised look. "You're taking this awfully well." he said skeptically. I shook my head. "Oh no. I'm absolutely horrified right now, I'm just not good at showing my emotions." I said. "Oh, ok." said Cuddles. "Well, back to the subject: you died. Happy Tree Town, for as long as I can remember, has been under a curse. In this town, weird event occur every day that usually end up with most of us getting killed. The only upside is that in this town the only way you can die is of old age or by getting killed outside the borders." Cuddles explained. "Where are the borders?" I asked. "I'm getting to that." said Cuddles "The borders are right outside the acres of grass that line the town's outer most roads. If you die out there, you're gone. Although if you die in here you respawn at this hospital. Sniffles, the doctor, usually maintains the order around here." Cuddles said.
I looked down at m hands. "Wow. my first time dying, huh?" I looked up to see Cuddles and Sniffles looking quite guiltily around the room. "What?" I asked suspiciously. Sniffles laughed nervously. "Ha-ha, yeah, funny story about that, this is your second…time…" I looked at Sniffles, confused. "What do you mean 'second'?" I asked slowly. "When Cuddles hit you with his car he was able to bring you across the border quickly but…you didn't survive." Sniffles said. "SO I DIED AND NO ONE CARED TO TELL ME!" I yelled. "How is it that you are not able to express any emotion but anger?" Sniffles asked. I shrugged. "Anyway, we didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd be scared. You see we don't get many visitors, you're one of the first in years, and we wanted to make sure you felt safe throughout your stay here." explained Cuddles. Every word he said made me feel angrier and angrier. Who were they to decide whether or not to tell me that I died?
"That's IT!" I screamed "I'm tired of this town and I'm tired of- wait, did you say you don't get many visitors?" I asked "Yeah, most of them are scared away by the prospect of death, why?" questioned Giggles. "Well then I guess I'm staying." I said with finality. What? Can you blame me for staying? If I stay here mom and dad won't even try to find me. Everyone looked at me weird because of how forward my decision was but decided not to question me.
"Anyway," Cuddles said slowly "Giggles, Toothy this is Butch. Butch, I see you've met my girlfriend and best friend Giggles and Toothy" asked Cuddles asked. "Yeah," I said. "I'm guessing by how you reacted that you," I said, motioning towards the girl "were the one who killed me?" I finished. Giggles rubbed the back of her neck "Yeah sorry about that. Toothy and I were playing a game of competitive javelin throwing." Cuddles face palmed. "Out of all the games you could have played, why did you have to choose the most dangerous." he asked, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Well we tried playing competitive knife throwing and Archery but those ended badly too." she replied "How badly?" I asked. Suddenly a purple reindeer in a mime costume and an orange beaver in a hard hat wearing a tool belt appeared on the beds parallel to mine and Cuddles'. They both got up and glared at Giggles and Toothy "That badly." Giggles finished, looking around guiltily. Then she looked at the new comers "Sorry 'bout that." she said.
As Mime and Handy stomped off I got up from the bed and stretched. "Well," started Cuddles "since we're here we might as well go to the restaurant we were going to." Toothy and Giggles' eyes lit up. "Let us make it up to you, we'll pay." said Toothy, Giggles nodding along. "Ok," I shrugged "Let's go." I said as I walked out of the hospital room, Giggles, Toothy, and Cuddles trailing behind. Cuddles stopped us and looked back at Sniffles. "Coming?" he asked. Sniffles looked at his watch. "Yeah, I guess I can afford to take a lunch break." said Sniffles, putting down his clip board and following behind the group.
As they left the room, Cuddles ran to the front of the group to talk to me. "So," he said "what do you think of my girlfriend?" he asked smirking. I looked straight at Cuddles "You guys were made for each other." I said in all seriousness. And with that we walked out the door, into the beautiful death trap that is Happy Tree Town. This is where the not-so-happy tree town adventures begin.
*cries* Don't be angry! I'm sorry that this chapter sucks! It's not my fault though! I just keep on getting distracted!
Cuddles: Review while I comfort him!
