Patty sadly walked over to where the boys were.
Her hair was a mess and her face was red with tear streaks.
"Sis Patty? You look... mighty good" said Brer Rabbit.
"Just, uh... looking for some tissues. Thought Mother Possum might have some in her burrow. She does dry the eyes of her patients a lot" said Patty in a dry voice.
"Patty, m'dear, as part of Splash Weekend, we're teaching the turtles how to plant a tree. Care to help? It might cheer you up" said Jeremy.
"It combines two of your favorite things. Teaching and animals" said Chad.
"I do enjoy both of those things. But I think I'll just hang back and let y'all do your thing" said Patty.
"Okay" said Burt sympathetically.
Patty stood on the side while the boys taught the lesson.
"Now then, turtle lads. The first step in planting trees is to dig a hole" said Jeremy.
"Dig? Ol' Hal loved to dig" Patty cried.
Then she tried to calm down and said, "Sorry. Carry on."
Chad continued. "When you're holding the sapling, be careful. The bark is still delicate."
"Bark!" Patty snapped. "You know who had a great bark? Hal!"
Jeremy hugged his girl. "Poor Patty. Why don't you sit down?"
"S-sit down? That was the first trick I ever taught him" Patty.
She ran back to the Briar Patch sobbing her heart out.
"Ya couldn'ta sed calm down?" said Brer Rabbit.
At the Fishing Spot, Peter and Gordon were about to have lunch when Brer Vulture soared over them.
"Careful, Brer Gordon. All my good meat's been stolen. So who knows what's in dat burger" said Brer Vulture.
"Where exactly did you go to culinary school?" said Gordon.
"The university of Nunya" said Brer Vulture.
"Nunya?" said Gordon.
"Yeah. Nunya business" said Brer Vulture.
Just then, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, still in their mutant costumes, approached Peter and Gordon.
"Dare you fellas is. We was lookin' for ya" said Brer Bear.
"We made Asher Powers his very own actual Invisibility Cloak" said Brer Fox.
"Well, thanks" Peter tried to say.
Gordon cut him off. "You're clearly in the wrong place. Now get that ugly rag away from my friend."
"C'mon, Hijax Ax. Jes' like in Mega Mutants, weirdos like us needs ter stick togetta wit our own kind" said Brer Bear.
"Let's go while we still has our dign'ty" said Brer Fox.
He tried to walk away, but was pulled back. "Hivenstein, you's standin' on my tail."
"Sorry" said Brer Bear.
