Flippy continued to hug Evil as Lumpy, who now decided to become a cop, was questioning Splendid.
"How did you get here?" Flippy asked.
"I told you that if you were ever scared I could come through" Evil explained.
"But if you die will you go back inside my head?" Flippy asked.
"No, he will not"
Flippy and Evil turned to Sniffles who was standing a few feet away.
"What?" Evil asked uncertain.
Sniffles adjusted his glasses.
"I as you know Happy Tree is the only place in the world that you can never die in, or at least not die permanently. I have done a lot of research on this town and I know the many secrets this town holds, maybe I can help you if you help me" Sniffles explained.
Evil narrowed his yellow eyes "And why are you helping me?"
"Evil, right now you are the only thing we have as a kind of symbol. Haven't you ever wondered why no one in Happy Tree has ever gone mad? Or why we have Super-heroes? Dying every day is a horrible experience and the people of this town look to these 'super heroes' as a kind of safety blanket to stop them from being killed in the most painful of ways"
Flippy frowned "But whenever they save us we die anyway..."
Sniffles grunted in annoyance "Yes, I know that we have the most stupid heroes in history but they did save us once or twice and that's what the people use as courage to go outside without fear of watching out for possible deaths. Evil, right now these 'heroes' just attacked four innocent people without reason. Even though you saved Flippy the people won't feel safe around you. The people are looking to you. What are you going to do?"
Evil thought for a moment "Sniffles are you trying to say to me?"
Sniffles sighed. "The people need these super idiots and you need to be real. I don't want to be a part of it but I also don't want civilians to be constantly afraid. So if you drop the charges then I'll make you real."
"But they could hurt Flippy!" Evil barked.
"Yes they could. But you'd be REAL! You can protect him without worry."
Evil growled and Sniffles doubted that he was even considering the idea.
"Would you like to press charges mister man who looks like Flippy" Lumpy asked his eyes twisting in odd directions.
"No" Evil replied and turned to Sniffles. "What now?"
"Come with me and I'll do it" Sniffles answered and turned away.
Flippy ran after him, asking him questions to make sure it was safe while Evil stayed behind glaring daggers at Splendid.
"Mister Man who looks like Flippy over there has dropped the charges" Lumpy told Splendid and his crew.
Splendid looked over to Evil who was glaring daggers at him.
"Splendid, let's go" Madam Fox took his hand.
...
"Sniffles are you 100%sure this will work?" Evil asked nervously as he stood on a platform which was pointed at by a massive gun.
"Ugh! You sound like Flippy! I am a scientist! Trust me! I've been back in time!" Sniffles shouted.
"You're right and how did that end?" Evil smirked.
"Well...SHUT UP! Do you want me to do this or not!?"
"Ok yes I'm sorry. Will this hurt?" Evil asked as he watched a red line on the side the gun light up.
Sniffles hummed as his hand hovered over the button "Well it shouldn't but then again I haven't tried it yet"
Flippy turned to Sniffles "Wha-"
Sniffles pushed the button and all anyone saw was a flash of light and then the lights flickered off encasing them in darkness.
The lights came back on and Evil sat up.
"Did it work?"
"Yes, you are now a part of the town" Sniffles replied checking his computer.
Flippy sat up as well "Really?"
"Would you like me to test it?" Sniffles asked taking out a gun.
"No, Doc not really" Evil rubbed his head before being tackled by Flippy into a hug.
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. In this town you don't last long without dying" Sniffles turned back to his computer.
"Thanks Sniffles" Flippy smiled at the anteater.
"No problem Flippy" Sniffles smiled back.
"Doc if you ever need a favour, ask me ok?" Evil told him.
"Thank you Evil. I'll hold you to that" Sniffles smiled evilly.
Evil didn't care what people said, Sniffles was still the scariest person in Happy Tree.
"Let's go Flip"
...
Two weeks later...
...
"Evil! Evil!" Cuddles called.
"Wha?" Evil asked sitting up from where he was sleeping in the park.
"Can you help me and Toothy set up a prank on Giggles?"
Evil rolled his eyes at the bunny
"You still too chicken to ask her?"
"Well, I'm trying! Now will you help me set up the chicken poo prank on her or what?"
"Chicken poo? Wow? I'm glad you're not after Flippy because you are just prince charming aren't you?"
"Shut up and help me!" Cuddles shouted blushing in embarrassment.
"Fine" Evil turned to Flippy who was reading a book. "Are you ok with this?"
"Of course I am! It's a brilliant idea" was his reply.
Evil's and Cuddles's eyes widened "What?"
"Ya, Toothy plays the prank and Cuddles saves her. I know it's very cliché with the whole 'damsel in distress' thing but I know Giggles is really into that kind of stuff when she was younger. Cuddles, really, how did you remember that?"
Cuddles had a blank face on him. "She di-"
"Ok well I'll see you later Flip" Evil interrupted before kissing Flippy and dragging Cuddles away.
"Wow! I'm so smart I didn't even realise!" Cuddles happily stated.
Evil rolled his eyes "Shut up. You know that was just luck"
...
Flippy went back to reading his book, smiling at the two.
He was reading the best book in existence: Harry Potter.
After he was done, Flippy walked to Lumpy's Library
"Greetings customer, how may I be of service?"
"Hey Lumpy, I'm just returning this book"
"Ok, would you like the next one?"
Flippy's face brightened up. "Is there?"
Lumpy turned to his computer and typed "Yes, it's over in the 'Fantasy' section"
"Thanks Lumpy"
Flippy walked over to the bookshelf and searched through it.
...
Evil and Toothy were running for their lives.
"Wait! What about Cuddles?" Toothy asked.
"What do you wanna do? Go back there? Did you not see Giggles face? He's a dead man anyway! Why the hell did we actually believe that he would go through with it?!"
"I don't know! OH My God! She's going to kill us!"
"Wait!" Evil said grabbing Toothy's shoulders. "There's one of her and two of us!"
Toothy paled "You wanna go back there?!"
"No! She can't chase us both if we go different ways!"
"O-ok..."
"Ya! Ok I'll go to the library and you-"
"I'll go to the Park! She'll never find me there!" Toothy ran away
Evil face palmed "Toothy! She's in the Park! Toothy!"
Evil waited for 1 minute before hearing Toothy scream. Rolling his eyes, Evil ran to the Library.
He stopped outside when he saw Flippy.
Smiling he was about to go in when he saw a figure standing behind him.
"Flippy!"
...
Flippy had just found the next book in the series when he heard Evil.
"Flippy!"
Flippy turned to see Splendont standing behind him.
Flippy backed away until he reached the bookshelf.
He could see that Evil was trying to open the door but Lumpy's corpse was lying there.
"What do you want?" Flippy asked.
Splendont reached into his pocket and Flippy could imagine 1000's of things that could come out of his pocket, none of them really good.
Splendont pulled out a camera and started taking pictures of Flippy who was cowering.
Flippy started swatting his hand out in an attempt to stop the bright flashes.
"S-stop"
Splendont put the camera back in his pocket and turned to Evil who was growling and hitting at the door to get in.
"What do you want?!" Evil growled once he realised he was getting nowhere.
"Why don't you kill anyone anymore?" Splendont asked in a monotone voice. "You were the best killer here and now all you do is play with the idiots here and kiss your boyfriend"
Evil Growled loudly as an answer.
"Or is your boyfriend stopping you?" Splendont turned to Flippy.
"Leave him alone!" Evil shouted.
Splendont smirked and placed his arms at either side of Flippy's head trapping him.
Evil roared and kicked the door trying to break it.
Flippy noticed that Splendont was leaning close to him and started to punch him in the chest, but Splendont just laughed.
Flippy turned to Evil and noticed that the door was cracking on the top. Flippy opened his mouth to shout this but it was suddenly covered.
Evil was reaching for Lumpy trying to pull him out of the way when he heard a muffled scream he looked up to see Splendont kissing his Flippy.
Splendont ended the kiss and looked towards Evil who was so angry that his face was red.
Splendont patted Flippy on the top of the head before flying up and crashing through the ceiling.
Evil saw him about to leave when he saw something crash into him, causing Splendont to fall a few feet away from Evil.
Splendont looked to see that Toothy's bloody corpse.
Evil tackled Splendont and Splendont didn't have time to react before he felt a knife in his mouth. In one quick motion Evil slashed through his mouth leaving a long scar on the left side of his face.
Yelling, Splendont punched Evil in the face with all his strength. Evil flew backwards and hit a fence.
Flippy moved Lumpy out of the way in time to see Splendont's mouth get ripped open by Evil. Next thing he knew, Evil was sent flying into the fence.
The yellow eyed bear stood up and felt an unbearable pain in his side.
"Evil!"
Evil looked to see Flippy staring at his in horror and tried to get up to see what was wrong. Evil took small steps to get to Flippy because of the unbelievable pain. He was suddenly stopped by something pulling him. As it pulled he felt every organ in his body pull and he coughed out some blood.
Evil looked to his side to see a part of the fence running though his side.
"Fuck" Evil muttered before his eyes rolled back into his head and the world went black.
Evil fell backwards and started sliding down the stick. Flippy felt like he was about to get sick.
Flippy turned to Splendont fearfully. But nothing was there except Toothy's corpse.
