Petunia had a hard time sleeping, thoughts of a dead Handy kept going through her head, she had not taken their conversation well. Handy had told her that he didn't want to see her again, that part was the worst thing she imagined he could have said to her. She remembered everything they have done together so far, she just wanted everything back to what they were.

Petunia was sleep deprived by the time she had woken up. It was still early in the morning, she questioned herself whether or not it was a good idea to try to convince him this early, but it was certainly better than going there later only to find him dead. She had walked briskly back to the house, there was a note attached to the door. She guessed that he attached a note to tell her to get out or something. But the note was longer than she saw from a distance. She took the note off of the door and read it:

I'm sorry everyone, I know you wanted to help me. But I'm just a case that can't be helped. Don't worry, I'm not going to kill myself, I'll just cause more trouble. I know I've been a burden to everyone all this time, I know that you depend on me but that's just because I'm the only available one to help, everything I build is easily destroyed. This time, I'll be gone for good, I'll be applying for a job as a carpenter in a different town. I enjoyed my time here in happy tree town, even if most of it is unpleasant. I want to go to far away places, I want to know different people until I lose who I am anymore. And Petunia, I'm specially sorry to you, I shouldn't have told you all those things yesterday, you were the only shining light in this dark place that gave me hope, and I took you for granted. I hope you find someone in this town that can love you much more than I should have. I'll never forget you.

-Handy

Petunia had become wide awake with the note she read. Handy was going to leave. And she had to hurry! She sprinted as fast as she can, there were no airports in happy tree town but there was a train station there. So that must be definitely where he was headed, it was the only mode of public transportation that heads directly to other places. She dialled Giggles' phone number, not stopping for anything as she began sweating despite the cool morning air.

Giggles woke with a jolt from her phone ringing, Cuddles was still asleep beside her, clearly having enjoyed the nightly romp they had. Giggles grabbed her phone and answered "Hello?"

"Giggles! I need your car!" exclaimed Petunia. "Petunia, calm down. Its 6 in the morning and I need some more sleep. Can't it wait till a few hours?" said the sleepy pink bear. "It can't! Handy's leaving happy tree town!" said Petunia. That got Giggles' full attention, "W-what?!" said a surprised Giggles, her pacman shaped eyes enlargening from the shock. "Please Giggles help me!" said Petunia. It was clear from her voice that she is beginning to get tired. "Okay! Where are you now?" asked Giggles. "I'm running past the gym!" panted Petunia. "We'll meet you at the park!" said Giggles getting up from the bed. "Please hurry!"

Giggles looked at her boyfriend who was still asleep. Giggles tried to shake him awake but he did not react at all. "Cuddles! Wake up!" but the bunny just groaned in annoyance, wanting to sleep in more. "Cuddles, if you don't wake up now, then no sex for a week!" this got Cuddles' attention "Gah! I'm awake I'm awake" as he fell off the bed. "Get the car ready, we need to stop Handy from leaving"

Petunia reached the park. She was tired, no matter how she wanted to keep going, her legs gave out, luckily she reached her destination before she reached her physical limits. A car pulled up from the road beside her, Giggles and Cuddles were inside, "Get in!" shouted Cuddles as she got in.

"The train station is not far, but there's only a few minutes before the first train arrives, we won't make it!" exclaimed Cuddles, driving past the speed limit which got Lumpy's attention who was dressed as a police officer. "Dammit Lumpy." Cursed Cuddles as he was forced to pull over.

"I never expected you to break the law Cuddles, so I'll be giving you a ticket" before interrupted by Cuddles shouting at him in panic "Lumpy! This isn't the time, Handy's leaving and we won't make it in time if we don't drive fast enough" Lumpy was surprised by this, is everyone emulating what he did back then?

"Ok fine, I'll look past this." Said Lumpy. Petunia sighed, "Handy will leave and we won't make it no matter how hard we try" she said with tears forming in her eyes. "That's still not a reason to try. Go, I know of a way to help you guys, just go, I'll make sure Handy won't be going anywhere." Cuddles didn't need anymore encouragement to go past the speed limit as he sped away, leaving Lumpy coughing form the dust left.

Lumpy then dialled Shifty and Lifty's number and initiated his plan to delay Handy's departure.

Meanwhile, in who knows where...

Shifty and Lifty were pointing a gun at Pop, Cub and Disco Bear, who were tied together with Cub giggling and laughing much to the two older bear's distress. "What's your credit card numbers!?" said one of the twins. "I'll never tell you!" said Pop, but the other bear, not wanting to die, cried and shouted "Its 12345 (a/n: idk much about credit cards, I don't own one) please don't kill me!" which Pop just rolled his eyes on, wasn't he used to dying yet?

"You better follow what we say or its goodbye to your baby!' said Lifty as he pointed the gun menacingly at Cub. Pop didn't say anything, too stubborn to let the two thieves have their way. "So be it then, since I'm feeling merciful, I'll kill you first" said Shifty as he was about to shoot Pop but was interrupted by a call from Lumpy.

"Hello?" said Lifty. "Would you guys be interested in erasing your jail sentences?" Lumpy asked from the other line. This got the twins attention, that'd mean they'd get Splendid off their backs for a while. "Sure, what do we have to do?" asked Shifty who grabbed the phone from Lifty. "Stop the first train from getting to the station, simple as that" said Lumpy. Shifty and Lifty looked at the three tied up bears and snickered to each other. "We got you covered"

Meanwhile...

Buddhist monkey had found a new calling besides being a Buddhist. He had always wanted to be a train conductor, it was pretty easy provided he just ran over a few animals in anger when he was ambushed by ninjas. He was enjoying his job when he suddenly saw three bears tied to the tracks. One infant, and two adults, Disco Bear was first, second was Pop, and Cub who was last, which meant Disco Bear would die first, Bhuddist Monkey immediately pulled the lever of the breaks and the train came screeching to a halt as the train stopped the two adults screaming for their lives while Cub just giggled and laughed at the big train coming in their way, just faintly touching Disco Bear's heart shaped nose.

Buddhist Monkey wiped his forehead, glad to have avoided a roadkill for the first time. He was about to get off the train to help the three bears when the train felt like it just ran over something. But wasn't the train at a full stop? He got off the train to see what was wrong when he saw Shifty and Lifty removing the wheels of the train. He slowly got angry, how dare they steal his train's wheels. Shifty and Lifty ran away, they had done their part in stopping the train as they quickly got inside their van and ran away from the berserk ape. Meanwhile, Pop, Disco Bear, and Cub were still tied to the tracks, Disco Bear, wanting to break the silence, asked Pop "So, come here often" joked Disco Bear, which got a groan from Pop.

Elsewhere...

Handy was confused, wasn't the train supposed to be at the train station by now? He had come to the train station with nothing but his helmet and his tools, he wanted to leave behind everything including his old stuff to start a new life and forget all the bad memories. He looked at the distant tracks, not even a single sign of the train, did something happen?

As he kept wondering, he had snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice "HANDY!". It was Petunia, and she was approaching him. Kind of fast actually, wait was it just him or was she angry, why were her fists clenched? She put her left and on his shoulder... and slapped him with her right hand as hard as she could.

"OW! What the hell!?" exclaimed Handy. Following the slap, he felt his face being squeezed by two hands and being kissed. Petunia had kissed him, his face becoming wet with her tears as she hugged him. He slowly returned it, with Petunia removing her hands and wrapping her arms around his neck, with Giggles and Cuddles snickering at each other at the public display of affection they were watching. "You bastard, do you think that leaving will solve all your problems."

"But aren't you sick of me? I'm not normal" said Handy. "Sigh, that's why I loved you, you're not normal. You always treated me with respect, you give me things without expecting anything in return, and who said I'm sick of you?" said Petunia.

"What kind of future would you even have with me?" asked Handy. "Not a normal one, that for sure. But I'll never let you leave, even if I have to cut your legs off" said Petunia. "Y-you're joking right?" asked Handy with a hint of fear in his voice. "Ugh, it's a figure of speech Handy" said Petunia, not believing Handy to not have had the common sense to get that.

"So, will you go back home with me, or will I have to actually have to drag you back with no legs aside from your arms?" asked Petunia jokingly. Handy smiled, she still wanted him despite all the horrible things that he did and said. "Sure, just be sure to go easy on me" said Handy.

As the four friends started walking back to Cuddles' car, Cuddles whispered to Handy's ear saying "Damn your girl is scary when she's angry". Handy chuckled at the statement and said "You have no idea" said Handy as they got in the car.
