Scootch is going for a check up with Dr Molar (Yes I know shes just a dentist in show but she can also be a pediatrician for this I didnt feel like making a new character lol) but Flick scares him while talking about shots so now he refuses to go. Will the other kids help him calm his nerves? Read to find out!
Wanda: Hey Pinch sweetie have you seen your brother anywhere?
Pinch: Last I saw him he was outside playing with PB&J!
Wanda: Can you go tell him to come in its almost dinner time
Pinch: Ok mom!
Wanda: Can you also tell him that hes got a check up with Dr Molar tomorrow?
Pinch: Sure mom! I just hope he wont be as scared as he was last time
Wanda: I hope so too.. Im just really worried on how hes gonna react when he learns he'll be getting his first shot..
Pinch: Dont worry mom Dr Molar's great! She does great with my check ups so she'll do the same for him!
Wanda: That she does! Just try to reassure him as much as possible the doctor is nothing to worry about
Pinch: Sure thing! *Goes outside*
Peanut: *Playing Commander Casserole with Jelly* Commander Casserole we have an imminent threat on our way!
Jelly: A threat you say? Thats never been a problem for Commander Casserole and his loyal sidekick Tater Chip! Whats the danger?
Peanut: Its Lord Gravy! *Points to Scootch*
Scootch: YAHHHHHHHHH *Runs into Peanut and Jelly*
Jelly: *Gets knocked over* You wont defeat us Lord Gravy!
Scootch: Oops- sorry sorry my fault..
Peanut: Hehe its ok Scootch its part of the game! You're *supposed* to run to us
Jelly: Yeah you're Lord Gravy remember? Sworn enemy of Commander Casserole!
Scootch: Oh yeah-
Flick: Hey Peanut and Jelly whatcha up to?
Jelly: We're playing Commander Casserole! Scootch is Lord Gravy! *Picks him up*
Scootch: Yeah I am!
Munchy: Cool! Can we join?
Jelly: Sure you can!
Flick: Aw thats dinky cant we play Mallard Man?
Peanut: We played that yesterday Flick remember? It was Jelly's turn to decide a game today
Flick: Ugh you never wanna do anything *I* wanna do!
Peanut: No?.. I just said we played Mallard Man yesterday which is something *you* wanted
Flick: Whatever.. I guess I'll play this game so who can I be?
Jelly: You can be-
Pinch: Hey guys have you seen Scootch?
Flick: Cheese and quackers Pinch! Cant you see we're in the middle of a game? Theres no princesses or tea parties in Commander Casserole!
Jelly: Flick you just joined- yeah hes over here as Lord Gravy!
Scootch: Hi sis!
Pinch: Scootch mom said you have to go to the doctor tomorrow
Scootch: The doctor?.. I dont wanna! No!
Pinch: Its not so bad Scootch Dr Molar is there to make sure we're healthy! She was really nice with you last time!
*Insert a song of theirs about what doctors do to make people healthy and everyone but Munchy sings it since hes afraid of the doctor*
Peanut: So you see theres nothing scary about the doctor Scootch
Munchy: I beg to differ.. one time I went to the doctor and I had to get a SHOT!
Scootch: Sh-sh-shot? Whats a shot..
Pinch: Oh its nothing to worry about its just medicine the doctor puts into your arm so you can better protect yourself against being sick from something like the flu which is what you're gonna get tomorrow!
Jelly: Yeah Peanut and I had our otterpox shots last week and it was very quick and it only felt like a pinch!
Pinch: Yes Jelly?
Jelly: No not *you* Pinch I meant the shot felt like when you get pinched
Pinch: Oh alright
Peanut: When we were younger we were just like you Scootch we were also afraid of shots at first but we quickly learned its to help us be healthier!
Scootch: O-ok..
Jelly: Yeah so you have nothing to worry about!
Flick: Oh yeah? Well you seem to be leaving out *how* shots are given! Let me tell ya-
Pinch: Flick no you're gonna scare him!
Flick: I wont scare him dont worry! You see Scootch how they do it is they get this long thin needle and jam it into your arm! Like this! *Stabs Peanut with a thin sharp stick*
Peanut: OW-
Scootch: What.. *Trembling hearing about it and imagining Dr Molar stabbing him in the arm with a syringe menacingly as Flick is talking*
Munchy: This is making me feel anxious! *Chomping on wood* please end there Flick..
Jelly: You've already had shots though havent you Munchy?
Munchy: Yeah but I still think they're scary! *Munching harder*
Peanut: Flick I dont think this is the best way to tell Scootch about-
Flick: Then after they stab you with this thin painful needle they push down on this handle at the top that slowly puts this mystery liquid into your body.. no one knows how they made it but they are told to inject it into the bodies of children everywhere in the world!
Munchy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH *Runs away in fear*
Scootch: NO! AHHHHHHHH MOMMY! *Runs away too crying*
Jelly: Wait guys come back!
Flick: You didnt even let me get to the good part! The liquid may be mysterious but its meant to protect you from getting sick!
*Everyone is now mad at Flick staring at him*
Peanut: Nice going Flick..
Flick: Oh now what did I do!
Pinch: You just scared Scootch even more now with how you described the shot!
Peanut: And you scared Munchy too!
Flick: Thats just how they do it we've had shots before have you all forgotten!
Pinch: You didnt have to tell him about it in the way you tell your scary stories! Ugh.. now I gotta go calm him down thanks a lot Flick- *Runs off to find Scootch*
Butter: *Is scared too hearing that story cause she never had a shot before*
Jelly: Oh look what you did Flick now you scared baby Butter too!
Peanut: Its ok Butter its no big deal really! When you get your shots like your sister and I you'll see how fast and painless it really is!
Jelly: It hurts a *little* but only for a second! Dont be upset baby Butter its not as bad as mean ol Flick put it..
Flick: Everyone is such worrywarts! Im going home!
Peanut: Should we go help Pinch out?
Jelly: Yeah we should..
*They go to the Raccoon house*
Scootch: *Crying hugging Wanda* Mommy..
Wanda: Oh dear whats the matter honey?
Pinch: Hes even more scared of the doctor now mom..
Scootch: Uh huh..
Walter: Honey im gonna head off for work- huh? Oh no whats the poor little lad upset about?
Pinch: Hes scared of going to the doctor tomorrow dad..
Wanda: Scootch its ok the doctor is not scary! She is a very nice lady and is only there to make sure you're healthy
Scootch: But.. but.. shot..
Walter: Shot?
Pinch: Flick told him about vaccines but he told it like it was a scary movie and it made Scootch even more scared to go to Dr Molar..
Peanut: We tried to stop him from scaring Scootch but he didnt listen..
Wanda: Thats not very nice of Flick.. well we'll discuss it more tomorrow but right now its bedtime for Pinch and Scootch
Walter: You should be going home too PB&J and thanks for trying to help out Scootch

Dr Molar: Oh assistant Flick! Will you get me the sharpest most painful poisonous syringes you can find?
Flick: Yes ma'am! *Gets out collection of deadly needles*
Scootch: AHHHHH NO! *Gets strapped in tight*
Dr Molar: Dont worry Scootch it'll only hurt a lot! Forever! *More evil laughing while she keeps stabbing him with needles*
Scootch: *Wakes up* AHHHHHHHHHH *Goes into Pinch's room and shakes her awake* Pinch! Pinch!
Pinch: Eh wha- Scootch? Whats wrong? Why arent you asleep..
Scootch: The shot! And- and- needles! And..
