(-Decided to add the episode here. Here it is if you wanna watch it-)

--
(-A couple of weeks-)


Bored, Cuddles suggested something for him, his gf, and his friends to do. However, not everyone could make it. Petunia was far too much of a neat freak to go out into the woods without any form of cleanliness products or hygiene. Toothy was busy visiting family elsewhere, and wasn't going to be back for a couple weeks. And, finally, Lumpy was busy with his latest job as a pest controller. His last job didn't go particularly well. He was trying to capture a dog infected with rabies. You can guess what happened...

Flippy whistled a merry tune as he approached his friends.
"H- hello, Flippy," Flaky greeted quietly, giving him a sweet smile, though her eyes were focused, watching his behaviour. Flippy returned the gesture. Then, he covered his mouth, stifling a laugh.
"What's funny?" She asked, her ear twitching.

"You're adorable," he chuckled. He was talking about how she had buried herself in her sleeping bag whilst sitting on the ground. Flaky's face flushed fuschia. This only made Flippy laugh harder, doubling over. The porcupine sank into her sleeping bag, hiding her flustered face.

Trying to stifle his laughter- to keep from embarrassing the hystricidae further-, he sat down, facing his paws towards the flickering flames, seeing the porcupine's head peek out once again, in a way not unlike that of a turtle.

The golden eyes looked over his present friends. Cuddles was leaning back, staring at the stars. Giggles sat chewing on a banana and peanut butter sandwich. (-Random fun fact// in the wild, a chipmunk will eat: bugs, worms, slugs, baby birds, snakes, eggs, and mice. Here I was thinking chipmunks were herbivores. Out of all them, I only expected bugs-). Finally, Flaky sat huddled in her sleeping bag, one arm peeking out; holding a stick with two marshmallows towards the tip. Sighing, Flippy closed his eyes, content. While hesitant at the idea at first, he was glad he'd agreed. Time out was just what he needed to relax. He'd been stressed for a few days, but he felt much calmer in the quiet forest. He loved it. Just being with friends, in a calm, serene, quiet-

Crackle. Flippy's ears perked up, and a small 'huh?' escaped his lips. His golden eyes opened again, locking onto the flickering flames like a panther stalking prey.

Almost inaudible whimpers escaped his lips, mind becoming foggy with memories, loosening his grip on reality. Fear overcame his senses, allowing them to be corrupted by the foul flashbacks, and sinister scenes. His mouth and eyes were wide, quickly drying up, but the discomfort wasn't didn't even process in his fractured psyche.

The yellow rabbit, finally, came back to Earth, his hypersensitive ears alerted by the indistinct sound of whimpering.
Flaky isn't panicking about the fire again, is she?
Internally groaning, he looked down at Flaky, but was surprised to see her smiling and calm.
What the...
His thoughts trailed off as he looked around, searching for the source of the sound. That's when he saw Flippy staring off, eyes dilated, and muscles limp. Immediately Cuddles got ready, already aware of what was going on. However, he wasn't ready enough.

In the blink of an eye, the twitchy bear had pounced, one paw firmly grasped around a rather large rock. It came, harshly, against his skin, tearing a large chunk of skin off, reaching from one cheek to the other. He felt a steady flow of warmth drip down his face, and a generous amount spraying to the side.

Giggles jumped, startled, as a splat of warmth collided with her face and paw. She opened her eyes, seeing a deep scarlet liquid had been sprayed on her. She was quick to identify it. Sharply, she screeched, horror outdoing her common sense to flee.

Smirking slyly, the bear pulled out a pocket knife, and snaking his free paw into her head fur, tugging it tightly. He chuckled as the pink mammal whimpered in fear, red eyes still transfixed upon the thick liquid, which had come from her boyfriend's face. Then, she processed it, flailing fearfully, but it was all in vain.

Frightened, Flaky could only watch, hidden in her sleeping bag. Her body had frozen up in pure terror. Tears rolled down her cheeks. But, as Giggles shrieked in a mix of rage and faltering determination, she'd had enough. Instinctively, she'd leapt up and charged at her traumatised friend.... and Giggles.

The green mammal's ears perked up as he heard movement. As soon as he turned around, a flash of red had tackled him. However, they just fell backwards, ramming into his chest as if it were a brick wall. Laughing, he dropped the pink one, attention now focused on the dumbass that'd tried tackling someone with almost double her body weight.

Shaking her head, Flaky pushed herself up, shoulder sore. Then, she wailed as a boot stomped on her shoulder, and kicked her to her stomach. She coughed, throat burning, and body aching. Her pink eyes met her friend's face, and had she wished they hadn't. He wore an expression she never expected to see from the soft, cuddly teddy she knew and loved. His golden eyes still gleamed, but now with a form of sick satisfaction, and we're contracted to am extent she hadn't considered possible. His eyelids and lips twitched, matching the clawed fingers on each paw. His claws and teeth were bared, and both dripped with a fluid. The mouse oozed with saliva, as if he was drooling over a steak. However, his claws were coated with 'nail varnish', consisting of that sickening scarlet, which made her wanna hurl.

The bear leaned closer, his warm breathes sending shivers down her spine (-oh boy xD-), so much so that it went back up once it had reached the end. Her sensitive fur stood on end as it felt the jagged breathes of her insanity-consumed crus- friend!

Snickering with sadistic content, he grabbed his knife again, and reached for her dandruff coated fur.

I'm gonna die! Flaky clamped her eyes shut, trembling. That was, until he felt the weight on her jerk sharply, and lifted off of her. Swiftly, she spun around, eyes locking onto him. The bear stood, sharp, red spines stuck in his paw. He looked genuinely alarmed, until his eyes locked onto hers again, from which they changed to frustration. He snarled lowly.

Before she even realised it, she had kicked his legs, taking advantage of his shocked stated. He staggered, before tripping over himself, and falling into the fire. He hissed, before sprinting off, still on fire, into the unknown.
