The Lumpy page 3: Chesters birds.

Our kitty chester loves watching the birds. Almost as much as tooty loves hunting them.

Lumpy is my favorite male character, Tootie is my favorite female character, so naturally, I think it’d be adorable to picture them as BFFs :3

[skruttet]

Out here we’re getting on fine. Tooti’s been working a lot, with good results, and has also been knottywooding* quite intensely. This year it’s chests and boxes, pigeonholes and storage jars in such numbers that I’m sure the therapist in my last synopsis (Dr Hatter) would have had his suspicions.

She’s cheerful and blessedly even-tempered, easy to live with. Sometimes she and Ham squabble in a disrespectfully-gruff-but-friendly sort of way. Tooti and I have been staying in the guest room, Ham and Lasse (who’s been here more than he was in the years we were building the place) in the main house. Now that we’ve got the ghosts in the guest room, we’re in a tent on the little sandy beach, which is lumpy and romantic. (Nocturnal sounds and the lap of waves)

*knottywood projects: Swedish knaggbestyr. The invented verb att. knagga (derived from the word knagge, used in the letters for a hook fashioned from driftwood, or other handcrafted object) came to be applied to any kind of practical project. The phrase was probably coined by deft handywoman Tuulikki Pietilä.

"Hey Lumpy?" Odd. The heffalump was supposed to be here a while ago. "Lumpy? Where are you?" Roo called out as he put his paws around his mouth to amplify his voice.

The Heffalump in question peeks out from behind his hiding place in the nearby bush, a big smile forming on his face as he catches sight of his best friend. Honestly, the bush probably isn’t the best hiding place for the big Heffalump... But it seems to be doing the trick for now!

Stifling his laughter as best he can, the little boy crouches down like a cat preparing to spring onto a mouse. Closing one eye and sticking his tongue out, like he assumes he is supposed to do since he is aiming at something, Lumpy carefully begins to wiggle his rump... Before suddenly springing out from the bush towards the little kangaroo.

“Surprise, Rootie Toot!” Lumpy cries out as he lands directly next to the other boy, having been extra careful not to land on him. After all, he didn’t want to accidentally hurt him... Giggling energetically, Lumpy continues, "I did an awfully good job of hiding, didn’t I? It was really hard not to laugh... You were surprised, weren’t you?”

The Christmas Party

It was midway into the month of December, and just after the arrival of the long-awaited winter vacation. Everybody in Multimedia, from the adults to the kids, had two weeks off from work and school that lasted until New Year's Day. Every one of them was looking forward to two specific things: getting Christmas presents from their family, their friends and Santa, and being able to relax.

There was one other thing that was coming up, however, as it had been for goodness knows how many years.

A Christmas party was scheduled to be held at Princess Unikitty's castle, from 5 PM to 9 PM. It was on a Saturday with Christmas Day being the following Monday. Unikitty, Puppycorn, Hawkodile, Dr Fox and Richard had worked as hard as they could to keep the castle in good shape for the upcoming party. And they had invited everyone - including Lumpy and all of his friends - and worked together to cook a big dinner for everybody. They had also bought presents for every one of their guests the day before the party - and by the time today had come, the presents had all been wrapped and placed under the large Christmas tree. That being said, Unikitty had also bought a few gifts for her four castle residents, but they didn't know that. She wanted to surprise them as much as she wanted to surprise the guests coming to the castle.

Meanwhile, at Lumpy's house, Lumpy was in the bathroom, getting ready to go. He was wearing a nice, warm, light blue sweater and his favorite red scarf to keep himself warm. He looked at himself in the mirror above the sink, feeling satisfied. He then walked out of the bathroom and went into the living room, where Meowth was sitting on the couch and scratching his ears with his back paws. Meowth was also wearing a sweater, but this one was white and had a pattern of small, light blue fish on it.

"You like your new sweater, Meowth?" Lumpy wanted to know.

"I guess, but I don't know why I gotta have it on," said Meowth. "I'm warm enough with all the fur I got on me."

"Well, maybe you think you are, but it does get colder at this time of year," Lumpy explained. "I want you to be extra warm, like I am."

Meowth looked at him, not amused. Lumpy paused for a moment, and then went on.

"And besides, that was on sale. It had the little fishies on it, too. I thought you liked fish..."

"Yeah, but not as much when they're not on my plate!" Meowth retorted.

"Look, let's just relax and have a fun night." Lumpy petted the top of Meowth's head, trying to calm him down. "We've been waiting all year for this party, and I'd like to have a good time. Don't ruin it for me, okay?"

Meowth took a deep breath and sighed to himself. He could tell that Lumpy was making a point, and that he didn't have much of a choice if he wanted to enjoy the party.

"Oh, okay," Meowth said.

"THAT'S my kitty!" Lumpy picked up Meowth and gave him a hug. Meowth grunted a little as he was held up, with Lumpy's arms wrapping around him. He didn't enjoy when Lumpy did this to him, but Lumpy didn't notice.

"I hope you ask for something other than cheese this year..." Meowth thought to himself.

After a few seconds, Lumpy put Meowth back down on the couch. Meowth could tell that some fuzz from Lumpy's sweater had gotten onto his own, so he brushed it off a few times with his front paws.

"I'll be right back, I'm gonna make sure all the presents I wrapped for my friends are in the car," said Lumpy.

"If you say so."

Lumpy briefly walked out of the front door into the front yard. It was snowing outside and the air felt very cold, but as long as he was bundled up, it didn't bother Lumpy. He went over to his car and opened one of the back doors. They were full of presents that he had wrapped himself and planned to give to his friends.

"Let's see..." Lumpy looked at them carefully, wanting to make sure he had gotten at least one gift for every one of his friends. "This one's for Mario, this one's for SpongeBob, this one's for Unikitty, this one's for Yin, that one's for Yang, those are for Kit and Kate, this one's for Gumball... Hmm, I feel like I'm missing someone..."

Suddenly Lumpy's eyes went wide with realization. "Shoot! I forgot to put Tootie's presents in the car!"

He closed the car door and quickly went back into the house. He looked around from the front door where he stood.

"Oh, where did I put those...?" Lumpy wondered to himself. Finally he spotted them and smiled. "There they are!"

A large gift bag was sitting just next to the dryer close to the kitchen. Lumpy went over to it and picked it up. He looked inside to check it, and he could see that there were a large object, a medium-sized object and a few smaller objects wrapped in pink paper. And on the tag on one of the handles of the bag, there was the text, "To Tootie, from Lumpy."

Lumpy calmed down and sighed with relief. He went back out into the front yard, opened the car door and put Tootie's bag into the back seat with the other presents. He then closed the door and went back in the house one more time. He picked up his car keys from the end table.

"Oh, Meowth!" Lumpy called. "It's time to go!"

From the living room, Meowth heard him and rolled his eyes in dismay. He got up from the couch and went over to the front door where Lumpy stood. Meowth expected to just walk out into the car himself, but Lumpy picked him up and carried him outside. He shut the front door behind them and locked it, and then headed out into the car.

Lumpy opened the front car door where the steering wheel was, stepped in and placed Meowth on the passenger seat. Lumpy then put on his seat belt and placed his car key in the slot. As he started the engine, Meowth put on his seat belt as well. The car drove out of the driveway, and out onto the road.

Meowth kept looking out the window through the entire trip. Lumpy switched on the radio, which played a couple of Christmas songs that Meowth didn't pay attention to. Finally, Lumpy arrived at Unikitty's castle and parked his car outside. The front doors to the castle were already open. Lumpy killed the engine and stepped out of the car, with Meowth following suit. They headed up to the castle doors and went inside. It was much warmer in the castle than it was outside, but Lumpy didn't bother to take off his scarf, nor would any of his other friends if they were wearing scarves as well. Unikitty was in the hallways, and as soon as she saw them come in, she smiled widely. And then she flew up to Lumpy and hugged him.

"Hi, Lumpy!"

"Aww! Hi, Unikitty!" Lumpy replied as he returned the favor, cuddling Unikitty's soft fur as he did so. "It's so nice to see you!"

Unikitty then let go of Lumpy, then looked over at Meowth and hugged him.

"Hi, Meowth!"

"Hey, Unikitty," Meowth responded, trying his best to suppress his annoyance. When Unikitty let go of him, he sighed with relief.

"How are you guys?" Unikitty wanted to know.

"Oh, I'm feeling great," Lumpy said. "But would you excuse me? I gotta get some presents out of my car..."

"Of course, Lumpy!" Unikitty said cheerfully. "And would you like my help with that?"

"Sure!" Lumpy said with a nod.

"He probably wanted me to help him, anyway..." Meowth commented.

Lumpy and Unikitty then went out to Lumpy's car. Meowth assumed they didn't need his help after all, but before he could set foot into the living room, Unikitty flew back up to him.

"Great idea, Meowth! You can help us, too!" She lifted him up onto her back. not seeing his dismayed expression, and flew back out to Lumpy's car.

Lumpy took a few of the presents out of the car and headed back inside to put them under the Christmas tree, which was located in the living room. Meowth unwillingly took some of the others inside as well, while Unikitty picked up Tootie's gift bag and brought it in. As soon as Meowth was finished, he jumped onto the couch and lay down like a cat, ignoring the sweater on his body.

But once she had put it under the Christmas tree, the bag caught her eye, and her eyes sparkled in interest.

"Ooh! Who's this for?" Unikitty asked aloud. "Is it for me?!"

"Actually, everything in that bag is for Tootie," Lumpy stated as he put the last of the presents from his car under the Christmas tree.

"Oh." Unikitty looked a bit disappointed.

"That being said, I did bring you a little something," Lumpy went on, "but I'm not gonna tell you what it is."

"Oh, okay!" Unikitty brightened up once more. "We were planning on waiting until the end of the party to open the presents, anyway."

Lumpy then looked around the living room, looking for some of his friends, but didn't find anybody at first. But then Puppycorn, Unikitty's little brother, came running into the room in excitement. He had heard Lumpy's voice.

"Lumpy! You're here!" Puppycorn ran up to Lumpy and started licking the side of his neck. Lumpy started laughing.

"Hahahahahaha!! S-stop that! Hahaha, it tickles! Hahahaha!"

Puppycorn then pulled his tongue away from Lumpy, the moose panting a couple of times as he rubbed his neck cutely.

"Sorry, I got a little excited," said Puppycorn.

"Yeah, he gets like that whenever someone comes over," said Unikitty.

"Oh, it's alright. I can see why you did that, Puppycorn."

As Lumpy tried to think of something else to say, he got an idea, and a playful smile appeared on his face. He raised both of his hands for Unikitty and Puppycorn to see.

"But you didn't tell me there was gonna be tickles!" Lumpy said.

Lumpy then held one of his hands under Puppycorn's chin and the other hand close to his belly. He began wiggling his fingers around, and Puppycorn immediately exploded with laughter.

"H-HEEEEY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Lumpy couldn't help but giggle to himself as he heard Puppycorn's laugh. It sounded adorable, much more than he expected. He moved his hands down to Puppycorn's belly and began tickling him there, with Puppycorn losing his balance and falling harmlessly to the floor as he did so.

"HAHAHAHAHAAA!! *gasp* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Tickle-tickle-tickle~~!" Lumpy said as he continued to tickle Puppycorn's tummy, not knowing Unikitty was walking right behind him.

After a few seconds of tickling Puppycorn, Lumpy finally pulled his hands away from his belly to give him a break. But then Unikitty placed both of her front paws right on his sides and started rubbing them up and down at a fast speed. Immediately, Lumpy broke into a laughing fit of his own.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! U-UNIKITTYHYHYHYHYHYHYHY!!!"

Less than five seconds after Unikitty had started tickling Lumpy, she removed her paws from his sides. Lumpy panted a few times as he held his sides, blushing. Unikitty giggled to herself before they all heard a voice.

"Hey-a!"

They all looked up to see that Mario had arrived. He was wearing his iconic overalls, shirt, boots and hat, but was also wearing a red and blue scarf so he'd stay a little warmer. He must have been watching the tickling session between Lumpy and Puppycorn, as well as between Unikitty and Lumpy.

"Are we having a Christmas-a party, or a tickle fight?"

When he heard Mario's voice, Puppycorn started panting happily. Unikitty smiled instantly and hugged Mario to greet him.

"Hi, Mario!" she greeted him.

"What's up, Mario?" Lumpy asked. "Um, sorry you had to see that."

"It's okay, I just-a didn't expect that kind of thing," Mario said. "By the way, I might have-a brought some of the others here..."

"Like who?" Lumpy wanted to know.

Just then, he saw Tootie coming into the living room. Due to the snowy weather, she was wearing a pink scarf as well as a black and white sweater that looked just like the short-sleeved shirt she usually wore. And she was holding a present, which she brought over to the Christmas tree and placed underneath it. Lumpy, Unikitty and Puppycorn all smiled when they saw that she'd arrived.

"Tootie!" Lumpy said.

Tootie heard his voice and looked over at him. She smiled as well and waved to him politely.

"Oh, hi, Lumpy!" said Tootie.

Unikitty went over to Tootie and hugged her - seriously, was she going to do this to every single guest tonight? But Tootie just smiled and hugged her as well.

"Hi, Tootie!" Unikitty greeted her. "I'm so excited for this party you threw for us!"

"Me too!" Unikitty agreed. "What do you wanna do first? We can talk, listen to music, have a snack, watch a movie... whatever you wanna do, we'll do it!"

"Actually, Unikitty, I'm not sure what I'd like to do yet," Tootie stated. "You might have to give me a few minutes before I make up my mind..."

"Oh, okay!" Unikitty replied. "Let me know when you come up with a fun idea!"

"I will," Tootie replied.

As Mario walked away, Tootie, Unikitty, Puppycorn and Lumpy thought about what they were going to do. While they were doing so, Lumpy felt a mild tickle in his nose, and his snout twitched a little. Puppycorn noticed it as soon as it happened.

"Hey, Lumpy?" Puppycorn asked. "Does your nose tickle?"

Lumpy sniffled mildly. "Yeah, a little." He rubbed his nose a couple of times with his arm. "I wonder why..."

Lumpy looked around the living room, looking for whatever it was that was bothering his nose. All he saw, though, was a couple of lit candles that were emitting smoke from their tiny flames. Had that been tickling Lumpy's nose? He wasn't sure, but he was pretty sure that a whiff of the scented candles could help his sneeze come out.

Lumpy walked over to the candles, sniffing a few times along the way. He could smell the candles' lovely aromas. One smelled like apple and the other smelled like cinnamon - and the smoke that wafted from the candles smelled like apple and cinnamon, too. Lumpy took a deep sniff, the scents tickling his nose slightly more, but the smoke drifted over to his nose and engulfed his nostrils. The smoke filling his nostrils smelled great, but at the same time, it tickled his nostrils. Lumpy's breath started to hitch.

"Aaah... Aaaaaaaah..." Lumpy tilted his neck back slightly as his nostrils flared. He felt like he was having his nose tickled with a feather or something. Not long afterward, he tilted his upper body as far back as he could as he gave a final, climactic inhale. "AaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH--!"

"CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Lumpy doubled over as he released the sneeze. All of the smoke that had just made him sneeze was blown away from his nose, and that prevented any more sneezes from building up.

"Ugh..." Lumpy sniffled as he rubbed his nose a few times with his forefinger.

"Ooh! Bless you!" Unikitty said.

"Thank you..." Lumpy said as he continued to rub his nose. He blushed in embarrassment, knowing that Unikitty had seen him release his sneeze. "And excuse me. Strong smells make me sneeze..."

"I can tell." Unikitty giggled. "But that's okay! The scented candles in my castle are pretty strong, anyway."

As Lumpy continued to sniffle and rub his nose, he heard a couple of tiny voices from beside him.

"Hey, Lumpy, are you feeling okay?" One voice sounded male.

"You're not catching a cold, are you?" The other sounded female.

Lumpy looked beside him and saw that Kit and Kate had arrived. They must have either heard his sneeze, or had been watching him rub his nose for the last handful of seconds. Or maybe both.

"No, I'm fine," Lumpy said. "It's just my sensitive nose."

Unikitty also saw that Kit and Kate had come to the party, so she smiled, went up to them and hugged them both.

"Hi, Kit and Kate!" she said.

"Hi, Unikitty!" Kate replied as she returned the favor.

Not long after Unikitty had let go of the two kittens, she saw that Yin and Yang had arrived at the party as well. She flew up to them and hugged both of them warmly.

"Hi, Yin and Yang!" said Unikitty.

"Oh, hi, Unikitty!" said Yin. "It was a great idea for you to throw this party and invite us to it!"

Yang winced a little as Unikitty hugged him; presumably, he didn't like her company as much as Yin and everyone else did. But he kept calm and agreed with Yin.

"Yeah, I'm glad you let us come," Yang said. "So what's up?"

Unikitty let go of Yin and Yang before she responded. "I'm in a fantastic mood this year!"

"Oh, of course," Yang said to himself.

"I'm in a good mood myself," Yin replied to Unikitty.

"Great!" Unikitty said as she jumped with the word.

While Yin and Unikitty chatted, Lumpy looked around the room. Aside from Yin, Yang, Unikitty, Puppycorn, Meowth, Mario, Tootie and himself, he also found SpongeBob and Gumball, who were having a conversation. He went up to them and asked to join their conversation, and they both agreed. Lumpy asked them about how they were doing, and they both responded positively. It turned out that SpongeBob had recently completed a few large orders at the Krusty Krab and at the Multimedia Burger Joint before being let off for vacation, and Gumball had completed his last-day-before-break exam and gotten an A - that was a much better score than he got on the assignments beforehand.

After about an hour, Unikitty called everybody into the kitchen for dinner. Everyone got their serving of food, then went into the dining room, sat down at the table and began to eat. Unikitty and her friends had prepared a lot of food for everyone - spaghetti and meatballs for Mario, lasagna with meat and cheese for Lumpy, buttery mashed potatoes for Tootie and Gumball, a couple of hamburgers for SpongeBob, macaroni and cheese for Yin and Yang, and tuna pasta for Kit and Kate as well as Meowth. For Unikitty herself and Puppycorn, they decided to have some lasagna and mashed potatoes. Puppycorn admitted that it was his first time trying the lasagna, and even though it was pretty cheesy, he found it delicious.

During the dinner, everyone used their manners - even Meowth, who only did so because Lumpy had wanted him to. If someone wanted to start a conversation, they swallowed before they spoke, and whoever listened swallowed before they responded, too. By the time their plates and bowls had been cleaned, and their beverages had been drunk, all of the guests had been satisfied.

"Alright, everyone ready to open presents?" Unikitty asked, and everyone nodded.

Not long after that, everyone left the dining room and headed into the living room. All of them were excited to find out what was inside their gifts.

From Unikitty, Mario got a red and white scarf; SpongeBob got a couple DVDs of The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie and The SpongeBob Movie: A Sponge Out of Water; Lumpy got a DVD of Happy Tree Friends: Complete Disaster; Tootie got the complete series of the Fairly OddParents; Yin got a DVD of My Little Pony: The Movie from 2017; Yang got a CD of his favorite rock band; Kit and Kate both got a large train set; Meowth got a large can of tuna ready to be eaten; Gumball got a copy of Super Mario 3D World; and Puppycorn got a squeaky bone. From Lumpy, however, Mario got a large can of pasta ready to be cooked; SpongeBob got a brand new spatula that was guaranteed never to break; Yin got some My Little Ponies of the Mane Six; Yang got a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch; Kit got a Pokeball containing a friendly male Oshawott; Kate got a Pokeball containing a gentle female Sylveon; Meowth got a ball of yarn that immediately distracted him; Puppycorn got a large box of his favorite dog treats; Unikitty got a warm pink sweater that could be harmlessly taken apart to become a blanket, while also being capable of easily being put back together to become a sweater again; and Gumball got a copy of Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch.

Also, Tootie finally got to see what Lumpy had given her in her gift bag. She had received a beautiful and soft light blue dress with long sleeves, as well as a box of blue raspberry-flavored candy, a flashlight that shone in rainbow colors, and finally, a DVD of My Little Pony: Twinkle Wish Adventure.

While they all thanked their friends for thinking of them and bringing them the gifts, Tootie was the most appreciative of all. She ran over to Lumpy and gave him a big hug. Lumpy blushed at first, but then smiled and returned the favor. Before the party ended, Unikitty asked that question that she asked every year at her Christmas parties.

"So, everyone, how'd you like to tell me if you're all happy and why you're all happy?" Unikitty said with a smile.

"I'm happy, 'cause I got yarn AND fish!" Meowth said. Unikitty nuzzled him.

"I'm happy, because I got the two games I wanted that my mom wouldn't buy me! And it's all thanks to Lumpy and Unikitty!" Gumball said. Unikitty nuzzled him.

"I'm happy, because I get to watch the My Little Pony movie with the Mane Six by my side!" Yin said. Unikitty nuzzled her.

"Of course I'm happy! I get to play Mario Kart 8 without having to buy any DLC stages or characters!" Yang said. Unikitty nuzzled him.

"I'm happy, too, because I get to have a Pokemon of my own, and a cool new train set to share with my sister!" Kit said.

"Me too!" Kate said. Unikitty nuzzled her, then Kit.

"And I'm-a happy, because Lumpy knew how-a much I love pasta!" Mario said. "And by-a the way, thank you for-a the scarf!" Unikitty nuzzled him.

"And I'm happy, because I got both of my sweet movies and a new spatula!" SpongeBob said. Unikitty nuzzled him.

"Yeah, I'm happy, too! I love treats and squeaky bones!" Puppycorn said.

"And I'm happy, too, because Lumpy got me the best presents I've ever got!" Tootie said. Unikitty nuzzled him.

"And I'm happy, because all my friends are happy!" Lumpy said.

Unikitty nuzzled him as well. "Me too!"

"Um, Lumpy?" Tootie asked, trying to get Lumpy's attention.

"Yeah?" Lumpy turned to look at Tootie.

"You know that present you saw me putting under the tree earlier today?" Tootie wanted to know. As soon as Lumpy nodded, she kept talking. "Well, actually... It's for you."

Lumpy's eyes widened in excitement. "Really? Oh, my gosh, I completely forgot to look at it!"

"Oh, it's okay." Tootie picked up the last remaining present - the one that Lumpy had saw her bring at the start of the party - and brought it over to Lumpy. "I think I chose just the right thing to give you."

"Well, even if you didn't, thank you." Lumpy smiled as he took the present.

He then looked down it and ripped off the wrapping paper from it. He was tempted to look away from it so that he could keep the suspense high, but he didn't. When all of the paper had been removed, he gasped loudly as his eyes widened once again in disbelief.

Tootie had gotten him a box of cheesecake.

"Oh, my gosh! Tootie... H-how'd you know I love cheesecake so much?!" Lumpy asked in delight.

"Well, I'd seen you eat cheese before, quite a few times this year," Tootie said. "And while I was doing my Christmas shopping, I found that cheesecake on sale for $0.99, so I decided to get one for you."

Lumpy gave a smile of deep appreciation as well as happiness. "Tootie, thank you so, so much for buying this for me!" He wrapped his arms around her body and gave her a hug. Before long, Tootie returned the favor.

The clock then struck 9:00 PM, signaling the end of the party. Everyone except Unikitty and Puppycorn cleared out, with their gifts in their arms. Lumpy put all of his gifts as well as Meowth's gifts in his car, then got in the driver's seat as Meowth climbed into the passenger's seat. Lumpy started the engine, backed his car out of the driveway and drove away from Unikitty's castle.

After a few minutes, Lumpy finally arrived home and pulled into his driveway. He killed the engine, opened the car door and stepped out of the car. After he had unlocked the door to the house, he brought all of his presents inside as well as all of Meowth's presents inside. He put his cheesecake and Meowth's can of tuna in the fridge, and went upstairs to get ready for bed. He took a long, warm shower, then brushed his teeth and went into his bedroom. Meowth was sitting in his little pet basket, licking his fur.

"I gotta say, Lumpy, that party was actually pretty good," Meowth said. He could tell Lumpy was smiling at his response.

"I know," Lumpy agreed. "Can you imagine what we'll get from Santa when Christmas comes for real?"

"Nope, but I hope it's more tuna." Meowth curled up in his basket.

Lumpy chuckled to himself and stepped into his bed. He yawned quietly into his hand after he pulled the covers over himself.

"Goodnight, Meowth," Lumpy said before he turned off the light.

The room filled with darkness, Lumpy and Meowth both drifted off into an uninterrupted slumber.

Lumpy’s Sneezy Birthday

Lumpy sighed to himself in bliss as he listened to his friends laughing, talking and having fun. He could tell they were all enjoying themselves, and he was enjoying himself as well.

It was Lumpy’s birthday, and everyone in Multimedia had come to his birthday party, which was taking place at the Multimedia park. Mario was there, along with SpongeBob, Tootie, Unikitty, Yin, Yang, Kit, Kate and Gumball (Meowth, King Dedede and Escargoon weren’t at the party because they weren’t invited). And they had brought gifts that Lumpy was looking forward to opening, much more than he was looking forward to eating some of the cake.

But before any of his desires could be fulfilled, something got in the way.

While Lumpy was smiling to himself that he was having a great birthday, a massive and strong tickle made its way into his nostrils. They flared up massively, and he noticed. But before he could say anything, his breath began to hitch. He had to sneeze.

“Aaaaah... Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...” Lumpy tilted his neck back as his nose twitched. He then gave a final inhale and exploded with a gigantic sneeze. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-- CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”

Everybody - yes, everybody at the party - cringed as Lumpy released the sneeze. They could all see a good amount of spray being released from Lumpy’s mouth.

“EEEEEK!!!” Tootie cried in fear as she jumped.

“Whoa!!” SpongeBob said as he winced, caught off guard.

“Mama Mia!” said Mario.

“Oh, my goodness!” Unikitty said.

“Oh, my!” Yin said in surprise, while Yang simply looked on in amazement.

And Kit and Kate hugged in fear as soon as they heard Lumpy’s sneeze. Gumball, meanwhile, covered his ears with his hands as his eyes went wide with disbelief.

Lumpy recovered from his sneeze, sniffled and rubbed his nose with his forefinger.

“L-Lumpy! Are you alright?” Yin asked.

“That was awesome in more ways than one,” said Yang.

“Yeah, sorry.” Lumpy continued to rub his nose. “I don’t know how it happened.”

“I hope you’re not coming down with something,” Kit said.

“Don’t worry, guys, I’m fine,” Lumpy replied.

After Lumpy had finished saying that, however, his nose twitched again. He tilted his upper body back, gave a large inhale and released another sneeze.

“AaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!”

Everybody winced again in shock and surprise when Lumpy sneezed. Once he recovered, he rubbed his nose with his forefinger again.

“Maybe throwing this party at the park wasn’t such a good idea,” SpongeBob stated. “Not with this pollen in the air.”

“You sure about that?” Yin asked. “If Lumpy was sneezing from the pollen, I would be, too. And I don’t smell any pollen around here.”

“Yeah, that’s probably the case,” Yang said. “Of course, I can’t tell because I don’t have a lot of allergies.”

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Lumpy released two more sneezes, the first uncovered, the second into both of his hands. He then groaned as he pulled his hands away and rubbed his nose with his forefinger.

“I think we should figure out what’s making him sneeze so much,” said Tootie.

“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,” SpongeBob replied. “But how are we gonna know for sure?”

“Besides, he sneezes from lotsa things!” Mario added.

“I’ll help!” Out of nowhere, Unikitty pulled out a box that had the words “Sneeze Things” written on it. She went up to Lumpy and showed him the box.

“This box is full of things that can make you sneeze. Some of us are gonna use a different sneeze-causer on that nosey of yours and see which one’s making you sneeze so much!”

Lumpy nodded in understanding once she was finished explaining that. Tootie went up to the box, reached into it and pulled out a flower. She showed it to Lumpy, who held the head of the flower toward his nose and gave it a deep sniff. Almost immediately, his nostrils flared up.

“Aaaaaah... AaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

After he released this sneeze, Lumpy sniffled and rubbed his nose with his forefinger.

“Hmm, that only made him sneeze once. And it wasn’t as strong as his other sneezes, either,” said Tootie.

“Maybe if I tickle his nose, it’ll make him sneeze even stronger,” said Unikitty.

Once Lumpy was finished rubbing his nose, Unikitty grabbed a feather from the box and tickled Lumpy’s nostrils with it. Lumpy’s nose started to twitch again as his breath hitched.

“Ah... Aaaaaaah... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH-- CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

Lumpy rubbed his nose vigorously with his forefinger, sniffling constantly as he did so.

“That doesn’t really work, either,” Unikitty commented. “That’s weird. The last time I tickled his nose, he sneezed so loudly you could hear it for miles!”

“How about this?” Yang asked as he picked up a pepper shaker.

Yin gasped and shook her head, trying to convince Yang not to do what she thought he was going to do. But Yang shook one puff of pepper into Lumpy’s face. Lumpy gasped, and then sneezed loudly, but not powerfully.

“AHHHHH-- CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

“Ugh!” Lumpy rubbed his nose with his forefinger, then pulled out his white handkerchief and wiped his nose with it.

“Oh, my! Bless you, Lumpy!” said Yin.

“Thank you...” Lumpy replied as he continued to wipe his nose.

“I could’ve sworn you’d be sneezing more than you are now,” Mario stated.

“Yeah, don’t you have a super sensitive nose?” Gumball asked. “And isn’t it super easy to make you sneeze a lot?”

“Yes, but I don’t know what’s going on, guys...” Lumpy shrugged. He put away his handkerchief. “But I wouldn’t worry too much.”

Lumpy went over to the table, which not only had the birthday cake on it, but a variety of snacks that his friends brought. Lumpy looked at what was available and saw a plate of chocolate chip brownies that Kit and Kate had made and brought. He picked up one of the brownies and bit into it. He smiled as he chewed and then swallowed the portion of the brownie he had bitten, and then took the rest of the brownie into his mouth.

By the time every part of the brownie had made its way into Lumpy’s stomach, Lumpy was feeling happy and satisfied. He licked the chocolate crumbs off his fingers.

“Mmm, that was so good...” Lumpy said.

Just then, however, Lumpy’s nose started to twitch, and his nostrils started to flare up again. Lumpy tilted his neck back as he was going to sneeze again.

“Aaaaah... Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...!”

Everybody gasped in fear as they heard his inhales.

“Here we go again...!” Kit said to himself in fear, which almost sounded like dismay. Everyone quickly braced themselves, with Kate hugging Kit in fear, Mario backing up and trying to protect SpongeBob from being sprayed, Yin and Yang plugging their ears, and Gumball ducking and covering his eyes.

A final inhale later, Lumpy sent his upper body as far back as it could go, and then exploded with a loud triple.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-- CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! AAAAAAAAH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaah... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

“Ugh, phew!” Lumpy enjoyed the relief he received as he sniffled and rubbed his nose with his forefinger.

“Oh, no...” Kate whimpered as she got a terrible idea. “Lumpy’s allergic to the chocolate brownies we made him for his birthday.”

“What?” Lumpy asked as he heard that. He then chuckled to himself. “No, I’m not allergic, you silly little kitty.”

“Then why’d you sneeze?” Kit asked.

Lumpy thought for a moment and then sweated a little. “I guess those brownies are a little too delicious...”

Suddenly an idea came to Unikitty. “Wait a minute!” she announced.

“What is it, Unikitty?” Lumpy wanted to know.

“I think I’ve figured it out!” said Unikitty. “Just one of those brownies must have made you so happy, you sneezed. The reason you were sneezing so much was because you were happy!”

Everyone else was in disbelief.

“W-What?! No way!” Yang said.

“That’s possible?!” Yin‘s eyes were wide and her pupils were shrunken with shock.

“Really?!” SpongeBob asked.

“Is it true, Lumpy?” Tootie wanted to confirm. “Were you really sneezing just because you were happy?”

“Um...” Lumpy rubbed the back of his neck as he blushed and sweated. “Yeah. I sneeze when I’m happy.”

“Wow...” Gumball couldn’t believe it, but then again, neither could anyone else.

“It makes sense now,” Mario said. “I never heard of that, though...”

“I know, it’s kinda weird when you think about it,” said Lumpy. “But what matters is that I’m not sick or anything, I’m just happy!”

As soon as he finished saying that, Unikitty flew up to him and cuddled his neck with her head. Everyone giggled as they witnessed the cute moment.

A few minutes later, everyone had decided it was time for some cake. Lumpy’s Friends were waiting around the table, gesturing him to make a wish and blow out the candles on the cake. As Lumpy was thinking, however, some sunlight got into his eyes, making his nose twitch. Another sneeze was on the way.

“No, wait! I haven’t made my--“ Lumpy couldn’t finish his sentence before his breath had started to hitch. He desperately covered his nostrils with his forefinger, but it didn’t work. He was going to sneeze.

“Aaah... Aaaaaaaaah...” Lumpy pulled his forefinger away from his nose, gave a final inhale and sneezed right onto the candles, blowing all of them out. “HAAAAAAAAH-- CHOO!!!”

Lumpy immediately put his forefinger under his nose again as he blushed a deep red. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. Everybody was looking at him, eyes wide and pupils shrunken with surprise. For the longest time, Lumpy felt embarrassed, but then they all laughed in amusement.

“Oh, Lumpy! That was so funny and SO CUTE!” Unikitty commented.

“Actually, it was!” Mario agreed. “I’m not into cute things, but... Mama Mia!”

“Aww! Lumpy, you silly moose, you!” SpongeBob said as he was enamored and amused at the same time. “I hope you do that again next year!”

“Bless you, Lumpy,” Tootie said as she giggled cutely.

“Thanks...” Lumpy felt better as he rubbed his nose adorably.

Once Lumpy had recovered from his sneeze, the cake was cut. Everyone had some cake, including Lumpy. Lumpy had taken only one piece, however, because he had mentioned that eating cake made him sneeze as well.

“You think it’s just the flour? Or is it too yummy for you to take?” SpongeBob asked jokingly.

“Probably both.” Lumpy took a single bite of his piece of cake and swallowed just before he felt a tickle in his nose. “H-here it c-comes...” Lumpy announced, and he began to inhale.

“Aaaaah... Haaaaaaah...” Lumpy put down his fork, pulled out his handkerchief and covered his nose with it. He gave a final inhale that caused everybody to look at him in surprise. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAH...” But then he released three quick but loud sneezes. “AH-CHOO, HAH-CHOO, AAAAAAH-CHOO!!”

Lumpy could hear all of his friends giggling as he wiped his nose with his handkerchief. “Um, excuse me...” he apologized, cutely.

“Lumpy, why do you have to be so cute?!” Gumball asked. It was rare for him to ever call anyone cute, no matter what they did, but when he did, you could tell he wasn’t lying.

“I... I don’t know,” Lumpy replied as he blushed.

“It’s okay, Lumpy, you can be as cute as you want to be,” Yin said with a smile. “I gotta say, even though I don’t like when most people sneeze, your sneezes can be really adorable!”

Lumpy smiled as he continued to eat his slice of cake. He kept sneezing as he did so, but he kept covering his nose with his handkerchief and rubbing his nose afterward. Once his plate had been cleaned, Lumpy put away his used handkerchief and rubbed his nose with his forefinger.

“How was it, Lumpy?” Mario asked.

“It was really good,” Lumpy said. “Even though it kept making me sneeze... I just couldn’t help myself.”

Mario chuckled. “It’s alright, Lumpy. You are a unique guy, and I like that.”

When Lumpy got up and went to open his presents, Unikitty went over to him, holding a pink and blue gift bag.

“Hey, Lumpy!” Unikitty showed him the bag. “Interested?”

“Oh, thank you,” said Lumpy as he smiled appreciatively.

He took the bag and looked through the wrapping paper to see what was inside. Once most of it was out of the way, he saw something. He reached his arm into it and pulled it out.

It was a light blue tissue box, with lots of tissues inside. The box was covered in pink hearts and bits of black text on it.

“Oh, Unikitty, it’s very cute!” Lumpy said. “Thank you so much... But what are these words on it?” He pointed to some of the text.

“As crazy as this might sound, I had everyone sign it and write blessings onto it!” Unikitty said. “By the way, Meowth signed it, too.”

“Really?!” Lumpy couldn’t believe it, but as he let it sink in, he smiled. The idea of his friends writing him blessings as opposed to simple birthday wishes did seem a little silly, but at the same time, it sounded absolutely adorable - especially given how much he sneezed every day.

Lumpy was going to say something, but before he could, he suddenly sneezed again. This time, it was much quieter in comparison to his normal sneeze, and more high-pitched. It almost sounded like a girl sneezing.

“Aaaaah-chew!”

“Awwwwww!!!” Unikitty cooed, hearts and sparkles filling her eyes as Lumpy rubbed his nose with his forefinger. That sneeze was absolutely adorable, but then again, Unikitty found many things adorable.

Lumpy took a tissue from the box and blew his nose for one second. He didn’t need to do it twice, or even for any longer than that; one quick little blow was just the right amount of relief. He smiled as he wiped his nose with the tissue and read the text that his friends had written on the box. Indeed, there were phrases of blessing along with the signatures of everybody who had written them.

“Bless you~! Have a great birthday! Love, Tootie.”

“Salute! Bless you! -Mario.”

“May Neptune bless you today, tomorrow and forever! In other words, bless you~! -SpongeBob.”

“Bless you, Lumpy~!!! -Love, Unikitty.” Unikitty had drawn a little heart next to her signature.

“Bless you, Lumpy! -Kit and Kate.”

“Bless ya!” -Gumball.”

“Bless you and Happy Birthday, Lumpy. -Yin.”

“Gesundheit, Lumpy! Your sneezes are awesome! -Yang.”

“Gesundheit. Also, Happy Birthday. -From Meowth.”

Lumpy smiled to himself, as well as at Unikitty, as he kept wiping his nose with his tissue.

“Thank you so much, Unikitty,” said Lumpy. “This is the best and sweetest birthday gift I’ve ever gotten! Oh, and don't forget to tell all my friends I said thank you!”

He threw out his tissue, put his tissue box aside and gave Unikitty a hug. Unikitty quickly returned the favor and hugged him as well. Lumpy soon let go of her and went to open the rest of his presents.

Tootie Meets Lumpy and Sniffles

One day, Tootie left her house to go for a walk. She liked to go for a walk every day to get some fresh air and discover new things. Along the way, however, she discovered a place that she had never been to, with residents that would change her life.

While she was walking, Tootie found a large group of trees and stopped moving. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen these trees, but maybe she had just strayed a little too far from home. In front of the trees was a sign with some text on it. Tootie read the sign. "You are now entering the Forest of the Happy Tree Friends."

"Who are the Happy Tree Friends?" Tootie raised an eyebrow as she asked herself that question. "I've never heard of them before... Maybe I should go in there and see if I can find them. Or at least, see what this place is like..."

Without thinking twice, Tootie slowly walked into the forest. As she did so, she looked at the environment around her. She seemed to be surrounded by miles and miles of trees. But after a few minutes of walking, she saw a few buildings a few feet ahead of her. She smiled and kept going until she made it to the buildings. There were less trees here than there were in the forest itself. She thought she had reached a clearing, but she hadn't; she had reached a whole town.

"Wow..." Tootie thought to herself as she looked around. She didn't know that a whole town could be built in the middle of the forest like this. And she couldn't help but wonder who those so-called "Happy Tree Friends" were...

Suddenly, she saw a light blue moose with light yellow antlers laying on the ground, with some flowers growing close to him. Tootie couldn't help but blush and giggle to herself from his appearance. That sky-blue color of his fur, one antler pointing up and one antler pointing down, and that dopey look on that face... They just made him look adorable. Tootie couldn't resist walking up to him.

As he saw Tootie approach her, the moose smiled at her and spoke. "Oh, hi! I'm Lumpy!"

"Hi, I'm Tootie," Tootie greeted him.

"You know, you don't look like the rest of us," Lumpy said. "Are you new in town?"

"No, not really," said Tootie. "I was out for a walk, and I stopped by this sign that said, 'Forest of the Happy Tree Friends,' whatever that means, and I ended up walking in here."

"You did, huh?" Lumpy asked.

"Yeah." Tootie nodded. "I personally don't know who the Happy Tree Friends are..."

"I'm one of them," said Lumpy. "And there's about 20 or 21 others who live here, too. And they also call themselves part of the Happy Tree Friends."

"That seems like a lot of people who live here."

"Yeah, but they're all usually pretty nice," Lumpy said. "Even if some of them can be a little, um... mischievous...?"

The last word that made it out of his mouth sounded like he was a bit nervous.

"What's wrong with that?" Tootie wanted to know.

"Um, nothing." Lumpy sweated a little. "I thought maybe some of them heard that..."

"I don't think so."

Lumpy sighed with relief when he heard her response. He looked down at the flowers that were growing out of the ground and smiled. He reached down, picked a flower out of the ground, held it close to his nostrils and took a sniff. Tootie couldn't help but blush a little as he did so, it looked so cute.

As soon as the moose smelled the flower, however, his nose began to wiggle a little. His nostrils began to grow and shrink. One moment they were smaller than they were, and the next, they were about twice their normal size. Lumpy pulled the flower away from his nose, sniffling slightly. Tootie could tell what he was going to happen just by looking at his expression, and watching his nose closely. He was going to sneeze.

"Aaah..." Lumpy rubbed underneath his nose with his forefinger, but it was pretty obvious that it wasn't working. He tilted his neck back as he continued to inhale, his nostrils flaring up more. "Aaaaaah... Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh..."

Tootie's eyes widened and her pupils shrunk as she heard Lumpy's inhales get louder. She backed up, trying to get out of the way, and plugged her ears gently with her forefingers.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--!" Lumpy tilted his upper body as far back as it would go as he took a gigantic inhale. His snout quivered madly, his nostrils flared up to several times their normal size, and then... he exploded.

"CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Lumpy shot his upper body forwards as he released the sneeze, with a good amount of spray firing out of his mouth. Tootie cringed and gasped in concern as she heard the sneeze. Even though her own sneeze was pretty loud as well, she didn't think Lumpy's sneeze would be that loud.

Lumpy recovered from his sneeze and caught his breath. He sniffled loudly and rubbed his nose with his forefinger. Tootie thought he looked adorable when he did that, but she kept that opinion to herself.

"Oh, my goodness..." Tootie said to herself, and then blessed Lumpy. "Bless you, Lumpy."

"Thank you." Lumpy continued to rub his nose as he sniffled. "And excuse me. I'm allergic to flowers, and my nose is really sensitive. In fact, it's so sensitive, I feel like just about anything can make me sneeze."

"I'm so sorry." Tootie felt bad for Lumpy now that he had said that.

"It's okay, though," said Lumpy. "I like to sneeze, sometimes."

"You do? Really?" Tootie couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"Yeah, it feels good." Lumpy nodded. "Also, one of my closest friends likes to make me sneeze a lot... Would you like to meet him?"

"Sure," Tootie nodded in agreement.

Lumpy got up and started to leave the area, with Tootie following him from behind. After a couple minutes of walking, the two of them came to the house of who Lumpy was talking about. Lumpy rang the doorbell, and they waited a few moments. Tootie couldn't help but wonder to herself who this "friend" of Lumpy was.

After a little bit, the door opened to reveal a teal-colored anteater with glasses and a pocket protector. Lumpy was the first to speak.

"Hey, Sniffles," he said, unknowingly revealing the anteater's name to Tootie.

"Hi, Lumpy, how are you?" the anteater responded.

"I'm good, and I'd like to introduce somebody to you," Lumpy said, and then gestured to Tootie. "This is my new friend. Her name is Tootie."

"Hi," Tootie said, politely.

"It's nice to meet you, Tootie," said Sniffles. He moved out of the way so that Lumpy and Tootie could come inside. "Why don't you two come on in?"

The two of them proceeded into Lumpy's house, and then Sniffles closed the door behind them.

"So apparently, Tootie was out for a walk when she found this sign leading into our forest, and then I met her," said Lumpy.

"Yeah, that's pretty much how I got here." Tootie added.

"I see," Sniffles said. "Well, she does look like a very nice person..."

Tootie blushed a little in response.

"Do I?"

"Yes, you do." Sniffles blushed as well. "And, um... Tootie, can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Tootie said with a nod. "What is it?"

Sniffles thought for a few moments, and then asked her the question.

"How sensitive is your nose?"

Tootie's eyes widened as she heard the question. She thought for a few moments, but she didn't know exactly what he meant.

"Um, what do you mean?" she asked.

"How likely are you to sneeze when something bothers your nose?" Sniffles clarified his question.

"Oh." Tootie understood now that Sniffles had told her what he meant. "I'm not really sure."

"Oh, really?"

Sniffles didn't hint this to her, but he couldn't believe that she had just said that. But as he thought about it, he got a fun idea, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Um, yes?" Tootie looked a little uneasy at his expression. What was he up to?

"Is there anything that does make you sneeze?" Sniffles went on.

Tootie thought for a moment, and several things popped up in her mind.

"Actually, I've sneezed from lots of things before," said Tootie, "like pepper, feathers tickling my nose, smelling flowers, getting dust in my face..."

"You know, all of those make me sneeze, too," Lumpy mentioned. "Though you probably already remember when I sneezed from that flower..."

"Yeah," Tootie replied.

"Well, in that case, would you like me to make you sneeze?" Sniffles asked. "If you don't want me to, I won't."

Tootie thought about this for a few moments. She wanted to refuse, but a small tickle made its way into her nose. She looked at it for a moment as it twitched a few times... and then stopped. She sulked a little in disappointment.

"What's the matter?" Sniffles asked, despite that he was pretty sure he knew what the answer was.

"I thought I was gonna sneeze, but I guess not," said Tootie.

"Well, don't you worry." Sniffles placed a hand on Tootie's shoulder. "I've seen this happen before, I know exactly how to fix it."

"I guess I'd like that, please."

Sniffles removed his hand from Tootie's shoulder, then reached into his pocket protector and pulled something out. Tootie's eyes widened when she saw what it was. It was a long, white feather that looked pretty soft to the touch. She was pretty sure she knew what he was going to do with that.

"Are you gonna... tickle my nose with... that?" Tootie sounded like she was nervous. It didn't help that Sniffles nodded in agreement. "Are you sure...?"

Lumpy put his hand on Tootie's shoulder for a moment, trying to calm her down.

"He's done this to me, too," he told her. "But don't worry, the feather doesn't hurt. It just does what it's supposed to, and really fast. But boy, does it tickle..."

"Trust me, Tootie. I'll be really gentle to your nose," said Sniffles, responding to both Lumpy's words and Tootie's thoughts. "And besides, I kind of want to hear your sneeze..."

Tootie blushed visibly in response. She couldn't remember the last time someone had said such a thing to her. But she quickly decided that if it wouldn't feel so bad, and if it was going to help her sneeze come out, she didn't have much of a choice. So she nodded her head in acceptance, without realizing what she was doing.

Sniffles held the feather right underneath Tootie's nose and began to wiggle it back and forth. Needless to say, it tickled, and the effect was instant. Tootie's eyes twitched as her nose froze for a moment, and then began to twitch as well. She lowered her eyelids as her nostrils flared slightly. Her mouth fell open as her breath hitched.

"Aaah..." Tootie tilted her neck back slightly, but Sniffles continued to tickle her nose. He was watching her reaction with sparkles in his eyes and a red tinge appearing on his face. He had high expectations for this sneeze. "Haaaaah..."

Sniffles gingerly moved the feather underneath Tootie's nose several times, watching as her nose twitched and her nostrils flared up. He didn't realize that Lumpy was also looking a bit excited, and blushing a bit as well. He must have wanted to see her sneeze just as much as Sniffles did.

"Haah, heeeeeh... Aaaaaaahhh..." Tootie tilted her neck back more and more as she inhaled. "HaaaaaaaAAAH..."

As her inhales got louder, her nostrils started to flare to a larger size than they already had been. Sniffles became convinced that she was on the brink of releasing her sneeze. He tickled her nose just a little more, brushing the tip of the feather under her nostrils, which irritated them even more.

"HeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEH... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...!!!" Tootie was tilting her head and neck as far back as they could go, her nose quivering and her nostrils growing and shrinking madly.

It was at this point that Sniffles was convinced that she had had enough. With a final nose-tickle, he pulled the feather away from Tootie's nose and backed up a few steps. He looked at Tootie with a smile of excitement, while Lumpy put his forefingers to where his ears would be. With her nose and nostrils rumbling madly, like a volcano about to erupt, Tootie shut her eyes tightly and tilted her upper body as far back as possible. She gave a gigantic final inhale, and then exploded.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"

Tootie shot her upper body forwards as she released the sneeze, with a good amount of saliva spraying out of her mouth. Lumpy and Sniffles both cringed in disbelief as they heard the sneeze, but then they giggled to themselves. That sneeze may have been loud, but once they got past that, it was actually pretty adorable. Given that the one who released it was already pretty cute, that wasn't surprising.

After quite a few seconds, Tootie recovered from her sneeze and groaned slightly, but audibly. Her throat was hurting a little due to the sneeze, and there was still a very small tickle in her nose. Tootie sniffled and rubbed her nose several times with her forefinger. As she did this, the tickle slowly faded away from her nose. At the same time, just seeing her rub her nose like that made her look even cuter.

"Wow! Bless you, Tootie!" said Lumpy.

"Thank you..." Tootie said as she sniffled and continued to rub her nose.

"EEEEEEEEE!!!" Sniffles squealed with joy the moment he saw Tootie rubbing his nose. "Oh, my goodness! That was ADORABLE!!!"

Tootie blushed in response, both in embarrassment and out of being flattered, at Sniffles' unexpected reaction. "W-was it?"

"Yes, it was!!" Sniffles nodded in agreement. "Gesundheit, Tootie~!"

Tootie looked at him with an expression of confusion, while still rubbing her nose with her forefinger.

"Um, what?"

"He says that a lot when he hears a sneeze," Lumpy said. "It's pretty much the same thing as 'bless you,' but he prefers to say that instead. I guess it's because he's smarter...?"

"Yeah, you could say that." Sniffles blushed as he heard that.

"Oh." Tootie nodded in understanding. "I guess I'm not used to hearing that word he said..."

"It's alright, Tootie, I understand," said Sniffles. "Your nose must be really sensitive if a little tickle can make you sneeze that loud!"

"Yeah, I guess it is..." Tootie blushed a little. "I'm sorry. A lot of my sneezes are really loud, but sometimes they're a lot quieter."

"It's fine, Tootie. You don't have to apologize," Sniffles said.

"I tend to sneeze loudly myself," Lumpy said.

"Me too," Sniffles agreed. "And I should mention, all the things that make you sneeze, Tootie, make me sneeze as well."

"They do?" Tootie raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Yes, they do." Sniffles nodded his head. "In fact, even letting someone touch my trunk will tickle it. It's alright, though; it feels good when I sneeze."

Tootie thought about what Sniffles had said for a good while. Then a mischievous smile appeared on her face. Sniffles couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw her do that.

"Um, Tootie..." he started. "What are you thinking about...?"

Without thinking, Tootie reached over and poked Sniffles gently on the trunk. His reaction was almost instant; the anteater inhaled as his trunk twitched.

"Ah, hah... Heh-chy!"

Sniffles doubled over as one of his normal, quiet and feminine sneezes erupted from his trunk. Almost immediately afterward, he sniffled and rubbed underneath his trunk with his fist.

"Cute!" Tootie commented as she blushed and giggled. Lumpy was blushing slightly as well.

"Um, thanks," Sniffles replied with a couple more sniffles.

"I don't know why, but Sniffles pretty much always sneezes like that," Lumpy said to Tootie. "Even if he sneezes really loudly, too. And it's adorable."

"It sure is," said Tootie. "It wasn't that loud, though..."

"Yeah, I know it wasn't." Sniffles blushed a little, and then offered the feather he had been using to Tootie. "But if you try tickling my trunk with this..."

Without even thinking, Tootie gently took the feather from him and began to wiggle it on his trunk. Sniffles' trunk began to twitch as his breath hitched.

"Aaah... Heeeeeeeeh..." Sniffles inhaled as he tilted his neck backward. He tried not to do it too much, since he wanted to let Tootie keep tickling his trunk, but he just couldn't help himself. "HaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAH..."

As soon as she heard Sniffles' inhales get louder, Tootie's eyes widened and pupils shrunk in surprise. She quickly pulled the feather away from his trunk and took a few steps backward. Lumpy backed up a little as well, plugging his ears with his forefingers. Sniffles tilted his neck as far back as he could, his trunk twitching hard, and then he exploded.

"Eeeehhhh-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-- CHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"

Sniffles shot his neck forwards as he released the sneeze, which fired a good amount of spray from his mouth. Just hearing it caused Lumpy and Tootie to wince in disbelief. It was a lot different than that first sneeze Tootie had caused him to release earlier.

After a few seconds, however, Sniffles recovered and sniffled loudly. He rubbed underneath his trunk several times with his forefinger, looking adorable as he did so.

"Oh, my!" Tootie said. "Bless you, Sniffles!"

"Ugh, thank you..." Sniffles continued to rub his trunk.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah..." Sniffles let out another sniffle.

"That was some sneeze you did there..." Tootie looked at him in concern.

"Yeah. Sometimes they can be really loud, like Lumpy's sneeze," Sniffles explained. "I'm afraid I just can't help myself..."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's alright," Sniffles replied with a smile. "I like being made to sneeze."

"Oh..." Tootie blushed a little and giggled sheepishly. It looked adorable to see her do that.

Tootie and her new friends continued to hang out for the rest of the day. She had a good number of conversations with them to get to know them better. She told them some interesting things about herself as well. At the end of the day, Tootie walked out of Sniffles' house, smiling at Lumpy and Sniffles.

"Thanks for playing with me today, guys," Tootie said. "By the way, would you please do one more thing for me before I leave?"

"Sure, Tootie," Lumpy agreed.

"Would you please show me the way back to my home, if you know it?"

Lumpy walked up to Tootie and reached into his pocket. He then pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to her.

"Sniffles wrote this," said Lumpy. "It's a list of steps on how to reach our forest. It also tells you how to go back home."

"He knows where my house is?" Tootie sounded like she couldn't believe it.

"Well, he does go for a lot of walks like you, so... yeah." Lumpy nodded.

"It should help you out the next time you want to come and visit us," Sniffles added. "Try not to lose that paper until you can figure it out by memory."

"Okay, thank you." Tootie smiled at Lumpy and Sniffles.

With that, she walked out of the house. She kept her paper with her as she made her way out of the forest. Even though she wasn't with Lumpy or Sniffles now, she couldn't stop thinking about them. They must have liked being with her just as much as she liked to be with them. They had so many similarities and interests. And every day that Tootie was with them, she would learn more and more about them. They had become her new friends - and before long, they would become her best friends in the world. Tootie was looking forward to having that happen one day.

When Tootie finally returned home, she pushed the front door open, proceeded into the house and closed the door behind her. She walked into the kitchen to find that her mother had already prepared her dinner. Tootie sat down at the table and began to eat, smiling to herself as she did so. It was one of her favorite meals.

A couple of hours after she had finished her dinner, Tootie looked at the clock. It was very late, and it was time for her to get ready for bed. She brought her favorite light blue pajamas into the bathroom. She took off her clothes as her mother started a bath for her. Tootie climbed into the bathtub, sighing as she felt the warm water. She relaxed, taking all of the time she needed to clean her body off. Soon she finished and stepped out of the tub, drying herself off. She slipped into her pajamas and placed her used clothes - except for her shoes - in the clothes hamper, and then walked into her bedroom.

Yawning quietly into her hand, Tootie crawled into her bed and hugged one of the blankets that was covering her. She took off her glasses, reached over to her lamp and switched it off. The next thing she knew, she was on her side, snoring quietly as she slept through the night.

Today had been the beginning of the rest of Tootie's life.
