Grumpy grumbled, his hammer clanging against the cold nails. He had embarked on yet another burdensome, not-quite-going-to-plan project. He knew it would be worth the fuss in the end- the challenge was the fun part of the journey after all- but he continued grumbling nonetheless.
"Ack- why cantcha just NOT bend, ey?" he scolded the nail, yanking out with his hammer. He put the bend nail in a clamp and began whacking it back into shape."Grumpy!" Funshine suddenly called, just outside the room, "Come here, it's a spiderr!!!!"
Grumpy sighed. "Coming-" He trotted to go out of his workshop. He swished the curtain aside, but suddenly a foot emerged and tripped him over, and he landed face-first in a cream pie.
"BRO-hoho!!" Good Luck laughed. He had been standing outside the curtain the whole time, and must've been the one to trip Grumpy.Funshine came over, bursting with laughter.
"DUde-" He managed through laughs, holding his stomach as he chortled hard.Grumpy pushed himself up with his arms and grumbled at them. But with his face caked in cream, it was too funny to bear.
"Dude-" Good Luck managed through his guffaws. "We got you so good,"
Funshine only laughed harder, pointing as his only means to express how funny it was.
"It's not funny, guys!" He grumbled, standing up and wiping his face.
"Even with all that sugar your still sour, bro," Funshine stated, wiping tears from his eyes. He chuckled some more.
"Dude we are on a ROLL today!" Good Luck said as the two high fived.Grumpy growled and rolled his eyes, before stomping off to the bathroom to wash his face.
Funshine glanced at him before looking at Good Luck, slightly deflated though still amused.
"We need something funnier- what's some ideas we've had back in Care-a-lot?"Good Luck put a finger to his chin. "Hmm.."
***"Hey Cheer," Grumpy gave a dry wave.
"Hey Grumpy," Cheer giggled a little. "You've still got some cream on your chin,"
"Augh-!" Grumpy swiped at it, irritated.
"Um," Cheer looked entertained, "You missed," She giggled, "Here, I'll get it"
Grumpy groaned, letting Cheer wipe it off his chin.
"What's so funny?""Aw, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, Grumpy," Cheer said, still smiling. She'd picked up on his defense-filled tone.
"You looked a little funny is all." She concluded, petting his shoulder briefly."I know, it's just all this 'funny business' is starting to get on my nerves," Grumpy crossed his arms.
A moment later, Share came, holding a tray with icy beverages. Good Luck and Funshine came in behind her, with suspiciously entertained smirks. Funshine appeared to have more of a stifled grin than a smirk, actually.
"Smoothies! I made everyone some smoothies," Share smiled sweetly, offering them around."Thanks Share!" Cheer said, happily taking one and smiling at her. She then looked over at the two bros behind her.
"What's going on with you two?" She asked, amused."We're just excited for smoothies," Good Luck smoothly explained. He then winked at Funshine.
Grumpy took a smoothie, smiling. "Thank you, Share, just what I needed-" He took a sip. "An icy cold- Hot- HOT!" he dropped the smoothie to fan his mouth and ran out. The cup fell to the floor, and the straw rolled out. There was a satchet shoved onto the bottom that read: Habanero Sauce- Extra Spicy.
As usual, Funshine burst into huge giggles, leaning over as he wheezed and chortled.
Cheer and Share were a little shocked at first, staring, then their faces warmed up and they chuckled a little themselves.
Cheer looked at her smoothie,
"You didn't do it to all of them, did you?" She asked, raising a playful eyebrow.
