The door swung open with a rather loud slam as Giggles dragged Sniffles by the arm, having no other choice but to follow her lead. Petunia tagged along with Mime and Chopette holding her battle ax from behind. All five stopped running when they were halfway down the staircase. "What's this all about again? Sniffles asked to the seemingly enraged chipmunk.
Giggles pointed her finger to the couch, where Cuddles was happily rubbing his nose against Lammy's.
I love you, babycakes" Cuddles swooned. Lammy laughed nervously as he kept rubbing her nose.
It just made her feel more embarrassed than his kiss from earlier. She would turn to Toothy for help, but he was too busy watching the TV. Mime and Sniffles looked at each other and shrugged. Chopette was also batting her eyes at Mime again, making Petunia roll her eyes.
"There's the problem we're looking for!" Giggles hissed, gritting her teeth and staring at the two with her twitching eyes.
"Oh, Yeah?" Sniffles asked with a paw under his chin, surprised how Cuddles could be easily fooled by the appearance of someone else.
Giggles continued, "Yes….Lammy's hair is so fabulous!". She had a wide smile on her face as she began to jump up and down in delight. Petunia's eyes sparkled as Sniffles just raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"I know, right?" Petunia said, "It's even prettier with that bow and pink dye!" Both the eyes of the girls had a twinkle as they kept gazing at Lammy's wig. "Yeah, Cuddles should be snuggling next to me!" Chopette huffed while covering her fist under the other one.
Giggles and Petunia gave her a suspicious stare that made her do a nervous chuckle.
"I..I mean, her hair is so pretty!" She quickly retorted. Somehow the girls seemed to fall for it as they nodded in agreement. However, Sniffles had a different opinion.
"Has it ever occurred that Cuddles has fallen in love with Lammy or something?" he asked the other four.
Instead of replying, they all broke into a group of laughter and giggling fits. Petunia laughed so much that she even snorted a few times. Mime's laughter was silent since he was a mime. Chopette leaned against her battle axe, holding it steady as she laughed along.
"There's no way on earth that would happen!" Giggles snickered before going back to laughing. Sniffles was the only one who slapped his paw on his forehead.
"I'm out of here.." Sniffles groaned before making his way down the stair to leave the laughing group behind. "Yeah! Run along, hair hater!" Giggles huffed as they were taking a break from their merry making. Sniffles had already walked out the door when she said it though.
All four of them had a big idea before they quickly ran back up the stairs and back to Sniffles's and Mime's room, unknowingly hitting Disco Bear's nose with the door just after he got up in the process.
Only a few minutes later, Giggles and Chopette were snooping around her suitcase for some clothes. Chopette found a light purple skirt attached with a white belt and she raised it high in the air to show Giggles. She nodded as if to agree.
Giggles later found herself with the skirt around her waist after a few seconds of putting it on. She then grabbed a white, long sleeved shirt that lay on the bed. After slipping it on, she saw that it had the logo of a light green star in the middle.
"It's perfect!" Giggles chirped as she took seat on the comfy mattress of the bed. Mime came over, holding a snow-white wig that had a classic 90's styled bob haircut and a big purple bow on top.
He gently placed it on top of her head, making it a perfect fit. Meanwhile, Petunia was talking to Disco Bear as he was rubbing his sore nose.
"You think that Mime can handle make-up?" Petunia asked while Disco looked in his hand-mirror, placing a Band-Aid on his nose. He said, "Just as long he's even an expert at all."
Disco continued "I mean, Chopette was nice enough to pack extra mattresses for us to sleep on." In her head, Petunia didn't even want to ask why. Then the two looked over to see a confident Mime with some cosmetics in his paws and they were more amazed by his work on Giggles.
Her eyelashes were all curly like Lammy's and her eyelids were plastered with dark violet eye shadow. However, she looked down to see a pink circle painted on each of her cheeks like Mime had. The deer smiled nervously as Giggles simply smiled
"Well, Looks like somebody took "getting dolled up" to a new level." Disco said, finishing the sentence with a flirtatious growl. Everybody else just rolled their eyes.
Back with Sniffles, he was out on the deck of the ship with Nutty watching a group of fish swimming across the ocean. "Why are you even out here?" Nutty asked, "I thought you could be working on a project or something."
"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Sniffles asked. The squirrel nodded his head. He continued, "Did feel as if you were the only sane person in the universe?" Nutty just gave the aardvark a pat on the back.
"There's no such thing as a normal day for us tree friends, but we like keeping it that way." Nutty replied with a cute grin to match. It made Sniffle smile for a little bit until a voice broke the short silence between them.
It was Giggles, in her new attire and all. "How's it going, boys?" she smirked with her arms crossed. This made Sniffles groan in annoyance but Nutty somehow wasn't bothered at all. Nutty quickly pushed Sniffles to the side, a sudden wave of blush on his face
"Didn't think you'd show up, Lammy." He said as Giggles had a surprised look. It was almost just like Lammy and Cuddles but it was with Nutty this time. With her eyes looking left and right, she just decided to play along as she pretended to act shy and flustered.
She spoke with a voice that sounded a bit timid, "I thought it's be nice to see how you were doing, that's all." Giggles suddenly felt her paw get lifted by another. The paw that wrapped around her own was Nutty's as it made her blush in vain.
"Did I forget to mention those new cloths?" Nutty questioned the chipmunk while he tilted his head a tiny bit as Giggles began to softly chuckle from his gestures. The sugar junkie raised her paw to his lips and gave it a gentle kiss. Completely flattered, Giggles pressed her other paw against her cheek.
He began to lean closely to her side. "They look pretty cute, I really like it a lot to be honest." Nutty's voice slowly changing into a purr. He quickly kissed Giggles on the cheek where her paw lay before she put it down. She turned her head the other as she began to laugh out of embarrassment, blush rising on her cheeks.
"Giggles! What are you doing?" Sniffles whispered loudly, quickly catching her attention. She whispered back, "Don't worry, this happens with me and Cuddles all the time." Sniffles gave her a look that seemed to shout, "you have got to be kidding me..".
Giggles whispered again, "It'll be okay unless he goes to forward."
"What 'cha guys talking about?" whispered another voice between them. They looked over to see that it was Nutty.
Sniffles, getting an idea, grabbed a candy cane from his pocket fur and held it in front of his face.
"Fetch.." He said calmy to the puzzled squirrel.
Nutty scoffed, "Please! I'm not your dog!" Sniffles tossed the sweet treat to the side. After a few seconds, Nutty stared at the cane before dashing off in a streak of green and light yellow. The other two shooed away the clouds of dust that were left in his tracks. Giggles blinked curiously as he rushed back to Sniffles with the candy cane in his mouth.
"Like I said, not a dog!" Nutty said triumphantly as he licked the cane happily.
"Well, who do you choose?" Sniffles barked, impatiently tapping his foot. "It's either me or "Miss Lamb-chops" he continued as Nutty bit off the hook part of the candy cane.
He suddenly gasped as he pointed in the distance. "Woah, what the heck is that?" he exclaimed.
Sniffles rolled his eyes once more as he turned around. "Just as I thought, nothing in sight! I shall not fall for this silly trick!" he muttered to himself before turning back around.
Instead, his eyes grew wide when he saw Nutty hugging Giggles in a tight embrace as he nuzzled his head on her shoulder like he was her loyal pet. He wouldn't stop giggling and his blush seemed brighter than Giggles's.
"I'm sorry, Sniff! It's not that easy being the fairest of all." Giggles smiled nervously. The next thing she knew, an angry Sniffles was chasing Nutty all over the deck.
They both ran past her and around her in a circle. Nutty quickly stopped in his tracks to kiss her on the cheek before he zoomed off to avoid being caught by Sniffles.
This was going to be quite a long voyage, Giggles thought.
