(That Next Day...)

It was the day of Halloween and most of the town was already getting started to prepare. The leaves were slowly tumbling in the air from the wind that passed by, most of the sidewalk was filled with decorated houses and other buildings.

But most of the joy and excitement for this year's "Hallow's Bash" was coming from behind a luxurious white marble mansion.

Virgo's mansion had a large, and I mean, really large back yard that stretched up to 34 to 40 feet. It had a huge swimming pool that was shaped like a CD record along with many different trees spread out all over the ever-so grassy area.

It was complete with a gigantic cross-bridge made of pure white marble and steel that stretched from one way across to the other while it was standing high above a giant crystal clear lake underneath it.

She and all the others were busy decorating it entirely for the big night.

Virgo took a few moments to gaze upon the wonderful progress they had created so far.

Around the area were many orange and black medieval banners, strung high above on long poles as they fluttered in the wind. Each one of them had the logo of a witch's hat or the image of a small ghost. Thousands of white and purple led christmas lights were stung around the yard on thick black strings that dangled from one place to the other like a glowing spider web.

There was also many vendor stand and little tents scattered around, all of them colored black, orange, or purple. Handy was busy helping Cuddles and Toothy carry some boxes full of cotton candy over to one of the stands.

But what really made the place stand out was that there was a huge stage in the shape of a log in the middle of the yard. It had long dark red curtains and there was a microphone set up and everything. It even had a space that was big enough for a perfect dance floor.

"Great work, everyone. Keep it up!" She said to the busy tree friends who were still getting ready.. Virgo was already working with Mitzy, who was helping her unload boxes of funnel cake and placing them on a nearby vendor's tent.

"Hey Virgo, do you think that this stand is really for funnel cake?" Mitzy asked.

"Um..yes. Why do you ask?" She replied.

"Nothing really. I was just hoping that the cake..is a lie!"

Mitzy laughed at her own joke as the sound of a rimshot could be heard. Virgo just looked at the skunk in disbelief. "You've been telling everybody that joke ever since you got that Portal 2 game a couple weeks ago!" The squirrel groaned.

"I know! And it's still funny!" Mitzy smirked, nudging her on the shoulder.

Virgo's response was only by smacking herself on the forehead.

"I've got to stop teaming up with wisecracks.. She muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, Cuddles was setting up a bunch of cups on a large table that stood by a few feet right next to the pool. Giggles and Petunia were assisting him by turning on the switch of a small chocolate fountain, spewing out repeated sprays of warm gooey chocolate. A giant punch bowl was standing next to it but the punch had a ladle sticking out from the bowl and everything.

"Hey, have any of you two seen Flippy anywhere?" Cuddles asked.

"..I'm down here, guys..."

Cuddles looked down and he was quite surprised to find that a voice was coming from underneath the table.

The owner of the voice belonged to a familiar green bear, who was sitting down with a depressed look on his face.

"How long have you been hiding in there?" Asked Cuddles again.

"...About seven minutes.." Flippy replied, his ears starting to droop.

He carefully crawled out from the table as Petunia quickly helped him up in the process.

"What's the matter? Don't you like Halloween?"

Flippy looked down before he could speak but he felt a bit better after knowing that Giggles was worried about him.

"I do.." He replied, "I just don't want to hurt anybody at the moment.." "You always say that to everybody. Not to mention that it gets a little annoying." Petunia said, an annoyed look on her face that made him laugh nervously.

"But that's just how we like our good old Flippy." Cuddles said, grabbing himself a cup of punch. "Thanks for that guys." The bear said, blushing a little bit . Flippy was still in the middle of controlling Flipqy, in which depends if there were any explosion or any fires or anything else that makes him flip the lid. It always drives him mad just to think about his past murders.

He knows that he could never ruin Hallow's Bash this year, even for his friends.

"For a moment, I thought you guys would get mad at me.." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Mad about what?" Cuddles replied. He started taking few sips of his punch in the process.

"About how all of us are trapped inside of a giant musical after I accidentally placed a curse on the whole town.."

The moment Flippy said those few words, Giggles's jaw dropped along with Petunia, who propped her jaw back in her mouth without even looking at her. Cuddles's eyes became wide and he spat out every drop of punch in his mouth and it launched a giant spray of wasted punch onto the ground.

"WHAT?! You're saying that our town is cursed?" The rabbit shouted.

"And it cursed us with a musical?" Giggles added, giving Flippy a glare as she cupped her right fist under her left paw, "You deranged madman!"

Flippy's fur went a little pale from the fact that he didn't expect for them to react like they were hungry for blood.

He could even see a few blood vessels in Petunia's eye while the other one was starting to twitch. Even though Cuddles was looking pretty ticked off, the icy glare of Giggles's face was probably the most furious one he could imagine.

Flippy let out a nervous gulp, causing a small but visible lump to go down his throat.

"H-h-hey, I said it w-was an accident." He stuttered.

But that didn't change any of the looks on their faces as Giggles stomped in front of the bear right before giving him a massive slap across the face with a loud thwack! The force of her slap left a giant red paw print on Flippy's right cheek.

"Yeah right, and I'm the very model of a modern major general." The chipmunk hissed.

"Just don't tell anybody about this.." Flippy said again.

"Don't tell anybody about what?"

That voice was coming from Virgo, who was just happening to be standing right next to Petunia.

"Um...nothing at all..." Flippy laughed nervously. It was too late for him to continue when Petunia began to shake her violently by the shoulders. "Virgo, it's horrible! Flippy has cursed the town!" The skunk shouted at the top of her lungs.

Virgo just raised one of her eyebrows, feeling unfazed.

"So? What about it?"

"It's a musical curse!" Petunia continued.

"What? A musical curse? That's the worse kind of curse I can think of!" Virgo gasped, "Where is that stupid bear?"

Cuddles and Giggles turned around to where Flippy was standing. But the only thing that was different is that they realized that not a single sign of Flippy was nowhere to be found.

"Hey! Where did he go?" Petunia said.

But that's when all four of them looked over to see that the bear was running away like the dickens.

Poor Flippy was simply feeling too guilty about what he said so much that to run away and never look back felt like a safe option.

"Geez, why does everybody freak our over everything I do? All I ever do is kill people.." Flippy muttered to himself.

No matter how hard he could try, he can't help but kill and tear apart his closest companions whenever he flipped out.

He remembered the time when he used to work at the local amusement park, but he was fired after he had mauled nearly everyone on a plane ride.

Only thing that Flippy had in mind was to run away from the scenes hoping not to get in any more trouble since he started with Soleil after attacking her.

But that idea was much easier said than done when something blocked his path, causing him to skid to an immediate stop in between a few nearby stands and right behind front of the open dance floor below the stage.

What stopped him was no other than Splendid, the number one savior of Happy Tree Town as he was standing right in front of him in a stance that looked like he was prepared to fight.

"Not so fast, Mr One Man Band!" Splendid barked, "I'll give you an act after I bring you to justice!"

But the squirrel wasn't even alone. Sniffles and Lammy were standing directly behind him, Lammy holding a large pitchfork while Sniffles was carrying a rake within his grip. Handy was also standing and had a hammer held in his teeth due to his lack of limbs.

Mime was holding a pair of invisible nunchucks. The Mole was also carrying a pitchfork. Next to him was Disco Bear, who was holding up a baseball bat.

"Come on!" Flippy said, smacking himself on the forehead, "Are you guys really that mad about the curse?!

"If I had arms, I'd be strangling you right now!" Handy shouted.

"Not groovy, dude!" Disco Bear said a low growl.

Flippy's eye twitched a little from the fact he was caught by more of his friends.

"There'll be flash mobs!" Sniffles added, waving her pitchfork, "Flash mobs everywhere because of what you've done."

"Wait a minute, where did you guys find all those pitchforks and rakes so fast?" Flippy asked again.

Splendid and the others paused for a few moments and looked down at their weapons, only to look back to Flippy with guilty looks and slight confusion. "Actually..these are just some of the props for Hallow's Bash.." Lammy said. "But they're great for starting up an angry mob or something like that!" Handy added, making Flippy's eyes roll.

"That's a great idea! Almost as great as I am." Splendid chimed, hovering above the others," Let's start an angry mob!"

Everyone else yelled out a cheerful battle cry of either "Yeah!" or "Let's get 'em!" in agreement as they raised up their weapons in order to attack.

"No! Let's not start an angry mob!" Flippy shouted.

"Huh? Why not?" Asked Handy while the rest of the group dropped their weapons on the ground. They were obviously shocked from Flippy's response.

"If you could just listen to me for a-OW!"

A giant object suddenly hit Flippy on the back of the head.

That object was a large caramel apple, making him pretty confused. But he was caught off guard from thinking after getting hit by yet some more apples.

He turned around, only to see that Cuddles and Virgo were shooting caramel apples at him from a pair of large slingshots. Toothy was also shooting apples with a slingshot as well. Even Giggles, Mitzy, Lumpy, Nutty, Russell, and Petunia were doing the same.

"Keep shooting! Don't let him get away!" Virgo shouted to the crowd.

Flippy was getting walloped again and again from the apples, but they weren't even stopping after he tried to shield himself by covering his face with his arms.

"How do you like them apples, Flippy?" Toothy said, making Mitzy and Petunia laugh a little bit.

"Come on everybody!" Lumpy shouted, "Let's point and yell at him while calling him names..and stuff."

Flippy made a quick turn back to Splendid and the..well...once..angry mob as the apples still knocked him upside the head.

"So, you were saying before we were gonna attack you?" Splendid asked.

"Well what I was-"

WHACK! POW! SMACK!

Flippy was cut off by another caramel apple hitting him on his head. He yelped in pain, rubbing the sore spot of his skull in hope that it didn't break.

"Dang it! What I'm saying is that-"

WHAM! BONK!

Another couple of apples fell on top of him. Cuddles and the rest were not even close to finish up shooting. Flippy's eyes began to twitch after the upcoming apples kept trying to bombard him with hard coats of caramel.

He was starting to grow anxious between his friends that were sharp-shooting with apples and trying to explain was what going on.

It was too late to think of anything more positive, because that was when his eyes began to twitch. The normal pitch of his voice had dropped down until it was more like a deep growl. His pac-man style pupils morphed into a pair of neon yellow orbs.

Flipqy slowly turned his head to the crowd of apple tossing tree friends, his eyes lighting up with total (and pretty obvious) annoyance.

"..KNOCK IT OFF!"

An apple was hurdling straight towards him but Flipqy quickly caught it in his paw. He raised his arm up high to the sky, tossing it directly into Splendid's mob with a massive fling of his wrist.

The apple went hurling right for The Mole, slamming a gigantic, gaping bloody hole right in the center of his face.

He fell down dead as the others were looking at his corpse in shock.

Flipqy pulled his long bowie knife out from the pocket of his jacket as he was holding it close to his face, but just at a distance safe enough to threaten the others around him.

"Every single last of you better shut up right now!" He barked, " Or else I'm gonna have to silence each and every one of you maggots by myself! And it ain't gonna be a pretty sight either!"

Everyone was already quiet somehow, probably from the way that he said those words.

Okay that was pretty much what summed it up, but you know what I mean.

Anyway as we go back to our story, The bear quickly shook his head back and forth, blinking a few more times as he returned back to his normal state of mind.

He looked around and saw that many of his friends were looking at him with worried looks on their faces. Nutty and Petunia were hiding behind Lumpy, was crouched down and hiding behind Virgo as she gave all three an annoyed glare.

"Sorry...force of habit..." Flippy said in a geeky yet adorable sounding type of voice. He looked down at the ground, shuffling his feet

"Um..you were saying, Flip?" Asked a whimpering Mitzy.

"What I was trying to say is that it was not exactly my fault that we're cursed." The bear replied, crossing his arms.

"It was Soleil who created the whole curse thing, not me!"

The rest of the tree friends were still silent for a while.

They even started looking at each other as some were still looking at Flippy. It was starting to look so awkward that the faint sound of chirping crickets could be heard in the background.

"So..you mean that the both of you did it?" Lumpy asked.

Nutty, who groaned,walked over and stood in front of Flippy.

"Come on! You guys all know what Flippy's talking about!" He huffed, "He's just the guy who got Soleil ticked off and got us all cursed int the first place."

"Wait, I do?" Flippy asked, feeling perplexed.

"Of course you do!" Nutty continued before nudging him on the shoulder. Flippy wiped the sweat off his forehead in relief. If it wasn't for such a close call and if Flipqy had killed Nutty yesterday, he'd be in a big heap of trouble.

"See, why do we have to be against you? It's Soleil who we should be angry at!"

"Don't say it like that, man!" Flippy said.

Nutty was quiet for a couple seconds right until after giving him a quirky smile.

"~Well.." The squirrel began to sing.

"And don't even try singing about it either!"

"...Well..."

"DUDE! I just said not to sing about it!" Flippy repeated, more angrily this time.

Nutty was starting to look mad as he turned away from Flippy.

"Fine.." He muttered, "At least I would have kept going?"

"What? Did you want to keep going?" Flippy asked again

"Song Cue!" Nutty shouted before snapped his fingers.

He got right in front of the two crowds as music started to swell and it transformed into a jaunty melody that bounced in the background. Just imagine the music as something out of those Disney movies with the main character in the big moment that makes him stand out.

Flippy tired hard to stifle a couple laughs when Nutty started dancing though.

(Song #3: Kyle's Mom (Soleil) from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut)

Nutty: Well..

Soleil's a jerk! She's a great big jerk

She's the biggest jerk in the whole wide world!

She's a stupid jerk if there ever was a jerk

She's a jerk to all the boys and girls!

"Dude, what the tree are you doing?! Keep it down already!" Flippy shouted, " You know how she hates being mocked!"

But Nutty wasn't even paying any attention in the least since he was still dancing. Everyone else in the crowds were starting to enjoy the song as some of them were starting to clap to the rhythm.

Nutty: Monday, she's a jerk

On Tuesday she's a jerk

On Wednesday through Saturday, she's a jerk!

Then on Sunday, just to be different,

She's a super king Kamehameha Jay-erk!

Everybody was clapping along while Nutty was dancing.

"Come on, you all know the words!" He chimed.

Soon enough, all the tree friends had to drop their slingshot and pitchforks in order to get down and dance. Flippy looked around to see all the others were dancing. All he do was a simple face-palm.

Everybody (excluding Flippy): Have you ever met my friend, Soleil?

She's the biggest dork in the whole wide world!

Nutty: She's a mean old jerk and she has stupid hair

(Others: La la la la, La la la!)

Everyone: She's a dork, dork, dork, dork, dork, dork, dork!

Nutty: D-O-R-K, D-O-R-K! She's a stinkin' jerk!

Everyone: Whoo!

Soleil's a jerk and she's such a dirty jerk!

Hey!

Nutty leapt on top of a nearby crate with everyone and a rather reluctant Flippy gathered around it.

"Talk to kids around the world, it might go a little something like this!" Nutty shouted.

The entire screen of the song suddenly slide across to show that it was now only pink with little white dots all over it. Standing in that background was a anime/chibi styled version of Nutty, who was wearing a kimono along with chibi versions of Giggles, Toothy, Cuddles, and Handy behind him. They were all singing in some form of Chinese type of language and they were also wearing kimonos.

The screen switched again with the chibi version of them but this time, the screen was taking place in front of The Eiffel Tower. Cuddles, Nutty, Toothy, and Handy were wearing berets on their head except Giggles was wearing a fancy can-can dancer's dress while they were singing in a type French language at the same time.

The screen switches again to show that it was now blue with white vertical lines. The chibi-fied tree friends are now wearing Dutch clothing and singing in a way that was similar to Danish.

It changes once more to show the scene had gone to a grassy filed were the Handy, Giggles, Toothy, and Cuddles chibis were playing the drums while Nutty was in middle and singing in a African-styled language.

Our scene goes right back to our friends as their bodies were now back to normal. The tree friends were all dancing below the stage while Nutty was dancing with Flippy, who was still being annoyed. He was just glad that he wasn't angry enough to flip out.

Everyone: Have you ever met my friend, Soleil?

She's the biggest jerk in the whole wide world

Nutty: She's a mean old jerk and she has stupid hair

(Everyone: La la la la, La la la!)

Everyone: She's a dork, dork, dork, dork, dork, dork, dork!

But suddenly, all of them gasped in shock except for Nutty. There was a familiar dark pink figure along with a dark blue one was standing behind the squirrel.

Nutty: D-O-R-K, D-O-R-K, She's a stinkin' jerk!

"Um...Nutty?" Flippy asked, pointing to Soleil. She and Azalea was staring at Nutty with confused looks spread on their faces.

Nutty: Soleil's a jerk and she's such a dirty jerk!

I really mean it!

That's when he took Flippy by the shoulder and they began to do a classical kick-line in place.

Nutty: Soleil!

She's a great big stinking jerk!

Big old bad greedy jerk

That Soleil! Yeah!

The two knelt down on the floor, Nutty doing jazz hands as the song had finally ended. But Nutty looked back at the others to see that they had many scared looks on their faces.

"What?" He asked.

"Am I interrupting anything, gentlemen?"

Flippy and Nutty's eyes widened when they had heard Soleil's voice. They slowly turned around to see that she was looking down at them with a look of scorn scattered on her face.

"...It was all hid idea, not mine!"

Nutty quickly replied, pointing to Flippy.

"What?" Flippy yelped as he pointed back to the squirrel "You 're the one who did it first!"

"Never mind that! How'd you create such wonderful decorations?" Soleil shouted with a wide smile on her face.

Flippy sighed in relief once again as Azalea was busy talking to some of the tree friends, who somehow went back to decorating the yard.

"So..does that mean you're gonna stop the curse." The bear asked, a innocent look on his face.

"Let me think." Soleil said scratching her chin for a bit,

"..Nope, not a chance."

"I figured you'd say that.." Flippy muttered. But he was certain that she would lift curse soon enough.

But he just didn't know when she even will at all.

He just can't help but watched as she wandered off tto enjoy the scenery, right before turning back to Nutty.

"Hey..thanks for saving my tail, dude. I wasn't really hoping that you'd help me from getting pelted."

"No problem." Nutty replied, nudging him again.

"Don't even try to think about, Because tonight, it's party time!"

ToonAngelStar17: Yeah, yeah I know that the ending was a bit sucky..but it turns out I got allergies yesterday and its really getting on my nerves. But I'll still be able to continue whenever possible..
