To be very honest, Flippy was never so sure about self-esteem in the first place. His daily "flip-out's" have really gotten pretty much to be a part of his lifestyle. He was often stuck between therapy and trying to have fun with his friends.

But that wasn't going to change Mitzy's opinion.

He was still feeling very unsure for when Soleil was going to call the curse off, so the only thing he had in mind was to try and forget about it.

"What I'm trying to say is that I think you should try getting out more." Mitzy continued.

It seemed that Flippy wasn't feeling too kind of that remark. "Actually, I don't think that I'd be interested in dating anytime soon." He added, crossing his arms.

"What about it? It's not like your standards are that high." Replied Mitzy, nudging him on the shoulder.

Flippy could only blink once or twice.

"Okay, now I'm just really confused.." Flippy muttered.

"She's got a real big point, ya know."

Flippy and Mitzy were suddenly stopped by a familiar voice that had a slight Brooklyn accent. They both turned around to find that Lifty was peering out from inside the crate, his legs halfway through the plenty of coins, Shifty doing the same as his fedora was stuffed with a few dozens coins.

They both glanced at the two, obviously confused.

"What?" Lifty asked, shrugging his shoulders, "You've never seen two raccoons hiding in a crate of chocolate coins before?"

"Um..not until right now." Flippy replied, scratching the side of his head.

"Besides, Flippy's not so ugly. He could get a date in no time." Shifty added.

"Wait, what do you mean I'm ugly?" Shouted Flippy in a worried tone.

The two raccoons also yelped, fearing that Flippy would flip out and beat them into a giant pulp. For him to kill them entirely made thinking about it look more gruesome than to imagine.

Shifty quickly began pointing to Lifty. "Take my brother! His flesh is juicier than mine!" He whimpered. Lifty gave his big brother an icy stare after hearing what he said. Mitzy, who was laughing nervously when Flippy glanced back at her, a confused look on his face.

"What my boyfriend is trying to say" She continued, "Is that maybe you should get out more."

Flippy just raised one of his eyebrows in disbelief as he placed his paws on his hips.

"Look, I don't think I need any help with this whole "standards" thing."

"Oh, yeah? Then prove it" Mitzy hissed.

"Fine! Maybe I will prove it!" Flippy barked back "Like for instance, I have...er..well...I..um"

Just as soon as Flippy was in the middle of a stutter, he looked down to see that the circular orb of a spotlight was laying in a pool of yellow ember under his feet. Flippy took one good look from above, only to see that he was completely surrounded by a entire spotlight that was coming straight from out of nowhere.

The bear smacked his forehead, his paw slowly sliding down his face to reveal his annoyed look.

"I can't believe I'm doing this...Song Cue.." The bear groaned before snapping his fingers as music began to play.

(Song #5: My Girlfriend Who Lives In Canada from Avenue Q)

Flippy: Oh...I wish you could meet my girlfriend

My girlfriend who lives in Canada

She couldn't be sweeter

I wish you could meet her,

My girlfriend who lives in Canada!

What Flippy couldn't tell was what was different from the other. It was either the way that Mitzy was awkwardly staring at him while he sang or the fact that he was attempting to dance but also looking like a total idiot at the same time.

Flippy: Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver

She cooks like my mother and roars like a cougar

I'd e-mail her every single day

Just to make sure that everything's okay

It's a pity she lives so far away in Canada

Lifty and Shifty were also looking at Flippy as he sung. Shifty looked back at his brother, doing the old-school "cuckoo cuckoo" sign by pointing to his head in a circular motion with his finger. Lifty snickered a little as they watched Flippy continue. As for Mitzy, she had her paw slapped over her forehead in annoyance from watching Flippy's dancing.

Flippy: ~Last week she was here, but she had the flu

Too bad, cause I wanted to introduce her to you

To the perspective of the other three, Flippy was practically prancing around and about inside of his spotlight like a ballerina.

Flippy: It's so sad!

There wasn't a thing that she could do

But stay in bed, with her shoes on top of her head!

Whoo!

I wish you could meet my girlfriend

My girlfriend who lives in Canada~

On "Canada", Flippy sung it in a rather high-pitched, sing-song voice as he did a bit of a spin in a circle.

Flippy: I love her, I miss her!

I can't wait to kiss her

So soon, I'll be off to Alberta!

He suddenly noticed that Mitzy was now trying to stifle a laugh as Lifty was shrugging reluctantly towards Shifty. The screen switches back to Flippy, where it shows that he was now standing in a flashy yet embarrassing pose in the spotlight.

Flippy:..Um..I mean Vancouver...

The bear quickly snapped out from the pose, smacking himself on the forehead. "No, her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver.." He muttered under his breath. That was when he broke out into a flamboyant can-can dance move.

Flippy: She's my girlfriend

My wonderful girlfriend

Yes, I have a girlfriend

~Who lives in Canada!

On the last note, Flippy got on his knees as he did the "Jazz-Hands" pose with a wide smile on his face.

His smile didn't take long to vanish when he looked back to Mitzy and the baffled raccoon twins in front of him. The spotlight above the bear slowly vanished as he quickly got up to his feet.

"Um..was that out loud?" Flippy said., laughing nervously.

Mitzy could only give him a cheeky smile as she gave a slight shrug of her shoulders.

"Well, at least we you know you're good at dancing..." She chuckled.

Shifty and Lifty could stare at each other in bewilderment.

"Y-yeah, what she said.." Shifty said in a nervous tone of voice.

They climbed out of the crate, nearly surprising Flippy when he suddenly saw that the raccoons were pushing him away from the stand by pushing their paws against his back. Flippy's feet didn't even move as they were moving.

"Hey! What's going on here?!"

"You just need time to relax, buddy." Lifty replied, "Just some time to take a chill pill."

"Listen, you guys. It's very nice that you're all trying to help me. It;s just that something tells me that this sounds more easier said than done..." Flippy said before turning to the screen, a annoyed look on his face.

"Huh? Who are you talking to?"

"...I have no idea, Shifty." Flippy shrugged.

Back down at yet another stand, a bunch of black bottles were stacked in three different stacks on a shelf. It was one o f those classic ball-toss stands that you'd see at a carnival. hat was the moment when a baseball came hurdling towards one of the stacks, knocking down all three in a single blow. The one who threw the baseball was Nutty, dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda.

"Whoo-Hoo! I got another one!" He cheered while pumping his fists in the air.

Flaky, who was with him, was dressed as an angel by wearing a simple white dress with long sleeves that had sleeves draping over her paws. She had a fake halo above her head and a pair of wings on her back.

"That was a pretty n-nice shot back t-t-there." The shy porcupine said, a timid smile on her face.

"I know, right! That was awesome!: He shouted.

Nutty turned over to someone else that joined them by the ball toss stand. He and Flaky were not really surprised to see that Disco Bear was just looking at himself in front of hand-held mirror in his paw.

Holding the mirror to his face, he brushed his big puffy afro with a large afro-comb.

But his hair was dyed black with a few streaks of gray. He was dressed as Frankenstein's monster. Not to mention that he was wearing a black leisure suit and matching bell-bottom pants instead of his usually golden-yellow one. His face was even painted green and he had a pair of fake bolts on the sides of his head.

"Yeah, whatever." Disco said, keeping an eye on his complexion, " I've seen better moves in the dance line on Soul Train."

Nutty rolled his eyes, watching him look back in the mirror.

"You can't get enough of that show, could you?"

"H-hey, Disco d-didn't mean to say it l-l-like that." Flaky added.

"Of course not, he's mine!" Said another voice.

That voice sounded familiar to Disco Bear somehow. It was a female's voice that seemed to carry a seductive purr that made one of his ears twitch. He dropped the mirror without even looking at it as it shattered on on the ground.

The bear suddenly looked up to see that a familiar figure was standing right in front of him.

It was Chopette, who was dressed up as a witch. She wore a black dress that had long sleeves and neon green ruffles were lined around the bottom of the dress, serving as a sash around her waist and matching the ribbon that was wrapped around the pointed hat that was nestled between her long ears.

Disco's eyes gazed up and down at her body. He can't help himself but to gaze at every bit of her outfit and he could see a couple of curves in her waistline, causing him to blush.

He could see that she was even wearing small black boots that had little green bells attached on the tips. Disco Bear let out a wolf whistle, his paws tucked in the pockets of his jacket. Chopette smiled playfully as she watched Disco give her a sly wink while pointing towards her.

"Well, aren't you a tall glass of poison?" He purred, clicking his tongue a little bit.

Chopette simply giggled as she laid a paw on the side of his face while she gently brushed her fingers under his chin. Just feeling the texture of her sky blue fur made his left eye twitch. Being compelled by love, he felt his legs start to shake a little. Disco's blush became brighter as he did a short tiger purr.

It was true that Chopette often beats him up without rest whenever he tried not to get her mad, but it was the crazy way she pampers him that made his heart melt like the cheese on a burger.

"Rawr...Quit teasing me with that magic spell of yours." Disco said, shuddering a little from Chopette's scratching.

"If there wasn't anything I could do for my Fluffy-Pants.."

Flaky covered her eyes, lifting one of her paws away from one eye to see what was going on.

"Oh, my..." She muttered, blushing slightly.

"I think I'm gonna barf..." Nutty added, covering his mouth.

"That reminds me." Chopette said suddenly. She began to bat her eyes rapidly, her lashes fluttering like the propellers of a helicopter. Chopette shook her hips a few times as she kept going.

"You guys like my new mascara?" She continued.

"That's your mascara? I thought a bunch of giant spiders were gonna pop out from your eyeballs!"

Flaky watched as Chopette gave a menacing glare toward Nutty, who was laughing after saying his remark.

"This is going to be one long heck of a night.." Chopette grumbled under her breath.

It was going to be a very long night from the tree friends indeed. And it ain't going to be a real pretty one either.
