The three just finished another segment as they just finished wrapping up everything in the studio.
"I'm really glad we're doing this show again. When we started, we were just kids having fun, but now we can make a real impact. You know, push culture forward." Freddie said as him and Tommy finished finalizing the stream
"Can one of you help me take this off?" Carly said still in the bunny suit.
"Yeah, I got you." Tommy said taking the bunny mask off of Carly's head
"Wow, you're already getting a ton of likes on your bunny makeup tutorial." Freddie said looking at the computer.
"I'm not doing this for likes. I'm doing this to connect with people. To lift up, to inspire. It's not about me." Carly said. "But what are they saying about me?" She asked still curious
"'Fire', 'Straight fire', 'That's lit', 'I love fire', 'Burn everything'... wait." Freddie said growing more disturbed by each passing comment.
"Any that aren't about from future arsonists, Fred-man?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, here's one, but you know what? I'm not gonna read it." Freddie said hesitant to show
"What is it? Just tell me." Carly said looking at the screen
"Don't freak out, but it looks like your hater is back." Freddie said as Carly just groaned
"iHateCarly57?" Tommy asked
"There's always gonna be haters that try to tear you down, but you know what I say to them? I say, 'Mom, I'm doing my best'!" Freddie said creating some weird point.
"I can handle the haters. I've had haters since I was 12. But this person is relentless. They make fun of what I wear, what I eat, what I drink. I'm starting to second-guess everything. Do you guys think my walk is funny?" Carly asked the two now feeling self-conscious again.
"For a bunny or a person?" Tommy asked jokingly trying to lighten the mood.
"And the worst part is, at the end of all of their comments, they say, 'Do better', Ugh. It's like, 'Do better' ? How about you do better?" Carly said growing frustrated with the hate comments.
"At least they're not threatening to break into your bedroom and braid your hair like that other weirdo." Tommy said helping to unzip the bunny suit off of Carly fixing up her hair as he helped.
"Yeah, but in all fairness, that hair braiding Instagram is, quite frankly, spectacular." Carly admitted as both of them just laughed smiling at each other.
Just a few moments later, Harper walked into the studio, seeing Carly being 'undressed' out of her bunny suit by Tommy "Ooh, y'all doing, like, a furry thing?"
Tommy and Carly just looked at each other confused. "Uhmmm," they both said in unison.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kink-shame your fursona." Harper reassured trying not pass judgement.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be on a brunch date?" Carly asked Harper.
"Oh, no, I didn't go. He gave me the ick." Harper explained
"What's the ick?" Tommy asked.
"The ultimate turn-off. You can be totally into someone, then you see one bad improv show..." Harper was explaining
"Or they're way too into theme parks." Carly added
"Or fiscal irresponsibility." Freddie chimed in as everyone just stared at him.
"Listen to us. We sound awful. There's just too much negativity in the world. Which is why I'm going to respond to this iHateCarly57 person with love and light." Carly said taking out her phone.
