Animation Acres

(Original theme by Michael Picher) (https://michaelpicher.bandcamp.com/)

Horrific laughters echoed throughout the silent dark night in a part of the Brisby Forest. Walking through it were three hyenas.

"Woo-ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!" One of the hyenas, Ed, laughed.

"Will ya shut up, Ed?" Another one named Banzai said. "We don't wanna get spotted!"

"Hey come on, Banzai! We're spotted enough already." The third one, Shenzi laughed, causing Ed to laugh harder.

"Eh, why are we even looking around here to begin with?" Banzai grumbled.

"Well, if Scar didn't let us out, we'd still be in our cage, eating scraps!" Shenzi said. "We unfortunately have to return the favor. And hey, we also get grub too!"

As Banzai listened to Shenzi, he all of a sudden noticed something bright outside the forest. "Hey guys, look over there!" The three hyenas saw in the distance, a small town illuminated by street lights.

"Hey, Banzai," Shenzi spoke. "Check this out!" Banzai and Ed turned to Shenzi as she was next to a sign that pointed to different directions. The direction towards that town said 'Animation Acres'.

"ROAR!!!"

The three hyenas all jumped in the air as they heard a ferocious roar, far into the Brisby Forest

"Hey, Banzai, that Scar's getting testy." Shenzi muttered as she turned to Banzai.

"Well, something tells me he's gonna more than satisfied now." Banzai grinned evilly while Ed started laughing again.

"ROAR!!!"

Scar's roar scared the hyenas again.

"Oooh, that Scar..." Banzai muttered something bitter to himself before the hyenas went back in the forest.

The next afternoon in Animation Acres, Timmy, Spot and Cartman were looking through glass of a nearby comic store. Inside, there was a poster for an upcoming comic collections of the 'Mixed Nutz' issues.

"I can't believe that collection is coming out so soon!" Timmy said, excitedly.

"Me neither! I love reading those books!" Spot jumped in the air, eagerly.

"I'm just glad it'll get me some time away from those repeats of 70's shows on TV," Cartman added with a shudder. "Those handshakes never stop..."

Spot looked closely through the glass and saw the price of it. "Yep! And it's only...$40..."

"$40?" Timmy and Cartman both jumped at the glass?

"I've only got $5," Timmy pulled out some money from his pocket.

"I've got $3," Cartman stubbornly pulled out his.

Spot just stood still. "I don't wear clothes on walks, so I don't know what I have,"

"Well, this is great." Cartman spoke, sarcastically. "How are we supposed to get that kind of money to get it?"

"Well, we could try earning it!" Spot suggested.

"Excuse me?" Cartman turned to Spot.

"Well, the more I was getting used to my human...half dog abilities, I figured doing work like cleaning would earn us it!" Spot nodded.

"Huh?" Cartman folded his arms.

"Or...or..." Timmy spoke up, sheepishly. "We could build a...lemonade stand?"

Cartman raised an eyebrow, giving Timmy a skeptical look.

"Believe me, I'm grasping at straws." Timmy shrugged.

"Oh, please." Cartman said. "Like any of that is gonna get us real money. You both are two soft thinking of stuff like that!"

"Too soft?" Spot asked confused.

"Yeah! Too soft!" Cartman then began to walk his own way. "Now if you excuse me, I'll be thinking of my own ways to get some dough."

As Cartman was out of sight, Timmy and Spot both sat on the sidewalk.

"Do you think he's right about that?" Spot turned to Timmy.

"Cartman's only messing with us, Spot." Timmy said.

While the two were talking, none of them noticed that Twilight, who was carrying something in a pouch on her back, walk up to them, curious on the way they were acting.

"But about us not making big money, is there another way to do that?" Spot asked.

"Well, it would be cool if there was a way." Timmy said.

"Hi, boys!" Twilight spoke, cheerfully. "What are you up to?"

"Oh, hi, Twilight!" Timmy turned to see Twilight sitting down next to him.

“Salutations, Miss Sparkle.” Spot greeted.

"Uh, we're fine! What are you up too?" Timmy covered.

"I'm getting some ingredients for a special medicine for Spike's illness." Twilight showed the two her pouch that was filled with all sorts of ingredients.

"You mean that cold when he sneezes huge fires?" Spot asked.

"That's the one!" Twilight answered. "But I couldn't help but notice you two looking down, is everything okay?"

Timmy sighed as he looked down again. "Well...we were mostly just thinking."

Twilight could tell something was wrong with Timmy. Her eyes then brightened as she had an idea.

"Well," Twilight leaned her back down. "Would you like to think more on a ride home?"

Timmy and Spot both grinned. Twilight always knew how to brighten someone's spirit.

As Twilight walked with Timmy and Spot on her back, they told her what was on their mind. "And Cartman said that we were too soft in our ways to get money," Timmy finished telling Twilight.

Twilight snorted. She always hated when Cartman said things like that. But she kept her cool and turned to Timmy calmly. "I wouldn't listen to that, he's just trying to get under your skin. You two have excellent ideas to earn money."

"But what if he's right?" Spot asked as Twilight got closer to home. "Is there any other way to get more money at our age?"

"You're doing fine," Twilight assured. "But I wouldn't act like money falls from the sky."

"But you're lucky, Twilight." Timmy said as Twilight stopped. "You've got magic to solve any problem."

Twilight raised an eyebrow and smirked as Timmy and Spot got off her back.

"Timmy," Twilight sat down and pulled Timmy's chin up, smiling. "What's something I always told you?"

Timmy looked up at Twilight. "Everything takes a little hard work, even magic."

"That's right." Twilight put her hoof around Timmy. "Anything could seem hard at first, but if you work through it, things will be just fine in the end. You'll see." Twilight finished by ruffling his hair, playfully as Timmy giggled.

Then, another idea popped into Twilight's head. "Wait a minute...Boys, I think I might have a little arrangement for you."

"What is it?" Spot asked.

"Well, there's these three fillies I watch for a friend. And I have to do it tomorrow.” Twilight started.

“Three fillies?” Timmy asked.

“Yep, but I don't know if they'd be safe inside with Spike's cold." Twilight said. "If you two wouldn't mind watching them...I could see how much money that would make." Twilight then winked to Timmy and Spot.

Timmy and Spot both grinned at that. "We'll do it!" They both said excitedly.

"Well then, I guess that settles that!" Twilight then pulled both Timmy and Spot in a big hug, causing Timmy to laugh. Spot even started licking Twilight's face, making her giggle.

Meanwhile, Cartman was walking through the Brisby Forest for a stroll after talking to Timmy and Spot.

“Build a lemonade stand? Doing chores?” Cartman laughed to himself. “Like those ideas are gonna make them money! I have my own ideas how to make money.” Cartman then sat down next to a tree. “I just let them come to me.”

Cartman then fully got himself relaxed, as he looked up to the blue sky and let out a sigh.

All of a sudden, Cartman heard the sound of a twig snapping.

Cartman got up in surprise. “Wha-...what was that?”

He stood on his feet as he got a good look around. Everything was still as it was before, but Cartman had a feeling that something wasn't right,

"AAAWWWK!!!!"

Cartman looked up and saw a flock of birds flying as fast as they could above him. Cartman's heart started pounding incredibly fast. He now knew he wasn't alone.

But then, another sound came to Cartman. It sounded like...running feet?...It started getting louder...and louder!

Cartman yelped as he began running away as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn't know who or even what was after him, but he wasn't taking any chances to find out! He pushed his way through every tree branch and every leaf that got in his face, but the sounds of running feet were just getting louder every second! While running, Cartman finally turned his head to see what was chasing him, and all he got was some sort of shadowed figure that emerged from the trees.

"AAAAAAAUGH!!!!"

Cartman slowly opened his eyes, and he saw he was on the ground. He looked up to see the dopey grin of an orange creature with black stripes and a long, bouncy tail, standing on his belly.

“Hey there, fella!” The creature grinned. “I’m Tigger!”

“Yagh!” Cartman yelped. “Wh-where did you come from?”

“Why, The Brisby Forest!” The creature hopped off Cartman. “Where else?”

“Hmph,” Cartman dusted himself off. “What are you anyway, some kind of tiger?”

“Close, kiddo!” The creature laughed. “Name’s Tigger!”

“Tigger?” Cartman raised an eyebrow.

“Yep-a-doodly-roodles!” Tigger bounced around Cartman. “Tiggers are only the bounciest, trounciest, flounciest, pounciest creatures of them all!” He then jumped in Cartman’s face in a low voice. “But something you should know, buddy boy, is that I’m the only one…”

Cartman still kept his eyebrow raised.

“Well, gotta bounce away for now, chap!” Tigger began to bounce away. “Always happy to meet a new buddy! T-T-F-N! Ta-ta for now!”

Tigger then hopped away into the distance, as Cartman was left in stunned silence.

Back in the home of Twilight and Spike, Twilight was busy making the medicine for Spike in the basement. She was making it inside a large cauldron. According to the next instruction in her book, Twilight used her magic to levitate the pepper, but she suddenly stopped herself and thought for a second. She didn't want to put too much in. According to the instructions in the book, a large amount of pepper could ruin the medicine...and explode. So with the greatest care, she softly poured the tiniest amount she could into a spoon, and put it in the cauldron. Twilight let out a sigh of relief.

BAM!

The front door to the tree-home swung open, causing Twilight to almost let all of the pepper fall in the cauldron, but luckily, she caught it in her hooves.

She immediately ran upstairs to what the sound was and saw Cartman rummaging through her bookshelves. She still was angry over what Cartman said to Timmy and Spot, and she certainly wasn't happy with him just barging in her home without even knocking.

"Eric," Twilight spoke in a controlled tone. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for information about a Tigger!" Cartman said as he found one of Twilight's dictionaries.

"A Tigger?" Twilight raised an eyebrow as she picked up some of the books Cartman dropped. "You mean a tiger?"

"No, a Tigger!" Cartman said looking through the dictionary. "I can't find anything on it!" Suddenly, something popped in Cartman's head. "Wait a minute! This thing is probably unknown to everybody! In fact, he could be worth money!"

Twilight wasn't paying attention as she continued putting her books on the shelves.

"And if I catch this Tigger, I would be rich!" Cartman grinned wildly. "I knew an idea would come to me!" He then eagerly ran to the door. "I didn't learn anything!"

As Cartman closed the door, all the books Twilight put back fell over on the floor again. "Uuuugh....!!!" Twilight grumbled.

The next day, Timmy and Spot were waiting for Twilight with these three fillies. Jiminy hopped up to Timmy's bed.

"Boys, I'm just a little concerned." Jiminy spoke. "Are you sure you'll be able to handle these three fillies? Kids can be hard to control."

"Oh, come on." Timmy looked down to Jiminy. "Kids are cool! We were their age too once and we turned out great!

"Yeah," Spot hopped up on Timmy's bed too. "Kids can't be really out-of-control like most people say. I'm sure this is gonna be a walk in the park."

Then, the doorbell rang.

"That must be Twilight!" Spot grinned. And so he and Timmy ran downstairs to the door.

Spot opened the door and it revealed Twilight with three young fillies. One was a yellow earth pony with a red mane and pink bow, the second was a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane and the third was an orange pegasus with a purple spiky mane, holding a scooter.

"Hi, Twilight!" Timmy and Spot both said in unison.

"Hi, boys!" Twilight smiled as she looked down to the fillies. "I'd like to introduce you to the girls."

"Hi, Timmy!" The earth pony spoke with a southern accent as she walked up to Timmy. "Mah name's Apple Bloom!"

"I'm Sweetie Belle!" The unicorn hopped in the air.

"And I'm Scootaloo!" The pegasus leaped in the air as her wings buzzed.

"Well," Spot nervously grinned, all of a sudden, not knowing what to say with the fillies in front of him. "It's nice to meet you."

"Are you the talking dog Twi told us about?" Apple Bloom looked up to Spot.

Of all the stuff in the world, the talking dog is the shocking part..., Spot thought to himself.

"Are you two absolutely sure you can take care of this?" Twilight asked.

"No problem!" Timmy spoke up. "We'll be fine. What could happen?"

"Well, okay." Twilight smiled to the fillies. "You three be good to Timmy and Spot, alright?"

"Don't worry, we will, Twilight!" Sweetie Belle grinned as she, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo all shared a hug with Twilight.

"So long, boys!" Twilight nodded to Timmy and Spot as she walked back to her own home.

As Twilight was gone from sight, Timmy and Spot closed the door and turned back to the fillies.

"So, girls," Timmy spoke. "Uh...How can we help you?"

"Well, we are kind of hungry." Apple Bloom said.

"Hungry?" Spot stood up. "Well I can fix a big lunch! I've been practicing! Come on, Timmy!"

Spot grabbed Timmy as they began to head to the kitchen.

"Wait!" Apple Bloom tried to say, but both Timmy and Spot were gone. "I'm not that hungry."

"I've just got a couple of candy bars!" Sweetie Belle reached into her own bag and pulled out three candy bars.

"That'll do!" Apple Bloom grinned.

Scootaloo got her scooter ready. "Shall we?" The three fillies grinned at each other.

Meanwhile, Timmy was watching Spot cook like a maniac, completely speechless on how well and fast his dog could cook. Once Spot was done, he revealed to Timmy the meals he prepared on a plaid sheet and silver tray. "What do you think, Timmy?" Spot asked, eagerly wagging his tail. "I made three grilled cheese sandwiches and prepared fifteen apple slices, and three glasses of juice! Neat, huh?"

"Uh...yeah..." Timmy said, still in shock. "But let's get this food to them quickly, they're probably starving."

As Timmy and Spot headed back into the living room, they noticed the fillies were gone.

"Wheeeere did they goooooo?" Spot asked nervously.

"Hi, guys!" Apple Bloom's voice called. The two turned to the window and saw the fillies all on Scootaloo's scooter.

"But, but wait!" Spot called. "What about the lunch I prepared?"

"It's okay, we got candy bars! See ya!" Scootaloo called out as the fillies ride away on the scooter.

"No, wait!" Timmy called, but the fillies were already gone.

"Where are they going?!" Spot said in worry.

"We better follow them." Timmy answered as the two ran out of the house and after the fillies. However, Spot didn't notice that the dinner sheet was stuck to his foot.

The three fillies were currently riding on the scooter through Animation Acres.

"Where should we go, first?" Apple Bloom asked.

"The mattress factory!" Sweetie Belle chirped. "We'll do stunts and be comfortable at the same time!"

Scootaloo's eyes widened as she saw some construction work being done nearby.

"How about over there?" Scootaloo asked. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looked over at the construction work and saw a truck crane with a ramp nearby. They both stared at them with big grins and widened eyes.

"Let's do it!" Apple Bloom cheered.

"Hang on!" Scootaloo held on to her scooter as they headed to the construction site.

"Girls!" Timmy and Spot kept calling. "Girls! Where are you?!"

"Oh no," Spot grew worried. "What if they got hurt and we weren't there?"

"Aww, relax, Spot." Timmy said. "I'm sure they're not in terrible danger."

The two then suddenly saw the fillies riding up on a ramp to the crane truck.

Spot gasped in horror. "GAAAH!!!"

"Oh, this is bad! REALLY bad!!!" Timmy yelped as he and Spot began running to the construction site.

The fillies rode off the ramp and were high in the air. Timmy and Spot saw them in the air and saw them doing all different poses in the air. The two were awestruck.

"Whoa..." Timmy's mouth was hanging open. "Didn't expect that."

The fillies finally landed on the crane of the truck.

"Wow!" Apple Bloom grinned. "Those were five poses less than 30 seconds!"

The truck driver, Mr. Canasta suddenly took notice of the fillies. "What the-?" Mr. Canasta suddenly lost control of driving as the crane started spinning out of control. The fillies leaped off just in time as the crane suddenly smashed part of a fixed building.

Timmy's jaw dropped as Spot put his paws over his mouth.

The fillies were just as shocked at what happened, but then they saw a black car pulling up. Their eyes widened as they hid behind the truck. Out of the car popped out a tiny man with large red eyebrows and a large red mustache.

Timmy and Spot gasped and hid behind a nearby tree.

"It's Mr. Sam!" Timmy whispered.

"One of the most troublemaking scammers in Animation Acres!" Spot whispered also.

"They're in so much trouble!" Timmy whispered back in worry.

Spot was just as worried as Timmy, but then noticed the dinner sheet stuck to his foot. Spot suddenly grinned. He had a feeling his talent for disguises was going to be put to use once again.

"Timmy," Spot turned to his master. "I've got an idea."

"What in tarnation happened around here?!" The man yelled as he got out of his car.

"Uh, well, I don't know, Mr. Sam." Mr. Canasta spoke. "I think I've been sabotaged!"

"What exactly do you mean by sabotaged, varmint?!" The man yelled again. "The building to hide all the money I sto-I mean earned has been destroyed!"

"Ooooh, excuse me?" A high, shaky voice called out.

Mr. Sam and the driver turned to see what appeared to be a blue elderly figure covered in a plaid sheet carrying a stick. "Um, yes!" The figure said. "I just came by to pick up my three little filly darlings! Oh, filly darlings! You, behind the truck!"

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shyly poked their heads out from behind the truck. The figure then winked to the three, revealing to be Spot in disguise.

"But wait, sir! I saw those two on the crane! They messed me up!" Mr. Canasta said.

"Oh, pish-posh, I simply saw them playing. They just accidentally got caught up in that dangerous contraption." Spot pointed to the crane with his walking stick.

Mr. Sam sheepishly spoke up to not make himself look bad in front of civilians. "Uh, yeah! Shame on you, mister! Scaring these three young-ins!"

"But I-!" Mr. Canasta tried to say, but was quickly elbowed by Mr. Sam.

"But no matter, we'll just be on our way! Come, come, girls!" Spot said as he gestured the fillies to follow him.

Once they were gone from Mr. Sam and the truck driver, Timmy, Spot and the fillies headed on their way back home.

"Hey," Apple Bloom asked. "We weren't causing ya any trouble, were we?"

"Trouble?" Timmy spoke up.

"Oh, no, no, no." Spot quickly jumped in. "You were alright! But please do us a favor, if you continue stunts...just don't do them in the middle of construction work. 'Kay?"

"Uh, yeah! Sure!" Sweetie Belle nodded.

"By the way, where did you learn those moves, anyway?" Timmy asked.

"Well, my older sister, Rainbow is awesome at those things!" Scootaloo said. "And I wanna be just like her!"

"Rainbow?" Spot's eyes widened. "As in, Ms. 'Rainbow' Dash?"

"Yeah, why?" Scootaloo asked.

"Ms. Dash is our gym teacher!" Spot grinned.

"My sister teaches at your school?" Scootaloo asked excitedly. "Is she awesome or what?"

Timmy stood back from Scootaloo's sudden excitement. "Uh...You bet she is!"

"Wow," Scootaloo sighed and looked up in the sky with a big grin.

"Uh, guys?" Apple Bloom turned to Timmy and Spot. "We feel bad we didn't eat that lunch you made us earlier. Can we start over?"

"Start over?!" Spot said eagerly. "Follow me!" He grabbed Timmy again and headed more fast to the house as the fillies followed.

Meanwhile, Cartman was heading back into the Brisby Forest, this time with hunting supplies in a huge box. He got himself well hidden between a tree and a bush. He then pulled out his binoculars and saw Tigger bouncing around through the forest.

"Ah-ha," Cartman spoke quietly. "Now, time for action."

"What type of action?"

"Yagh!" Cartman jumped back hearing the sound of a voice. He then looked up and saw the Cheshire Cat sitting up in a tree, looking down at him with his usual grin.

"Hey, where did you come from?" Cartman snapped.

"Oh, just minding my own business in these very trees," The Cheshire Cat smiled. "What are you doing?"

"Well, I'm planning to catch this unknown thing called 'Tigger' and use him to make all the money in the world!" Cartman showed the Cheshire Cat his box. "I snuck these supplies from my uncle!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The Cheshire Cat shook his head and jumped down to him. "Catching a fellow member of our forest for money? As a member, I must say that is a definite 'no-no'."

"Hey! What are you telling me what I can and can't do?" Cartman raised an eyebrow. "My mother?"

"Well," The Cheshire Cat used his tail to hold his body. "Unless you consider dropping this idea and leaving us members alone, you're just going to have to face the consequences."

"Yeah, keep talking about your 'consequences'. I'm off to get rich!" Cartman then ran off into the Brisby Forest as the Cheshire Cat kept smirking.

"I tried to be nice." The Cheshire Cat shrugged.

Tigger was humming to himself while hopping around the Brisby Forest. All of a sudden, he eyed a juicy looking apple, simply laying on the ground, covered by leaves.

"Well I'll be! A shiny, scrumptious-sis apple!" Tigger picked up the apple, brushed off the leaves and shined it. "You know what they say, an apple a day keeps IRS away! Hoo-hoo-hoo!...Uh, or was it something else?"

As Tigger munched on the apple, Cartman was behind a tree, snickering. He had a net under those leaves and once Cartman pulled a rope on the tree, Tigger would be captured!

Cartman then pulled the rope, but to his surprise, nothing happened! He pulled again, but nothing! He tried again, but Tigger was already out of sight when finishing up the apple.

Cartman growled angrily as he ran to his trap. "I don't understand! What am I not doing right?" But then, to his surprise, his trap went into action and trapped him in the net.

"Hey! What the-!" Cartman looked over and saw the Cheshire Cat with the rope.

"Oh, nothing. You've just gotta pull a little harder." The Cheshire Cat then go of the rope, causing the net and Cartman to fall to the ground.

Later, another trick Cartman thought up of was a rope tied to the top of the tree, and if Tigger got his foot in the lasso, he would be stuck in the air!

Cartman laughed to himself, thinking of how the plan would work. He grinned as he heard Tigger bouncing his way. He poked his head through a bush and saw Tigger getting closer to the rope.

"Yes...Yes..." Cartman whispered.

But Tigger simply hopped over the lasso, not paying attention.

Cartman was dumbstruck. He jumped out of the bush and tried to follow Tigger.

"Oh, for the love of Whoooooaaaa!!!!" Cartman then got himself stuck in the lasso and in the air. Cartman screamed in frustration as he tried to get back down.

"Lose something?" A voice asked. Cartman turned to see The Cheshire Cat on the ground, grinning at him.

"You!!!" Cartman yelled as he finally grabbed a hold of the grass. "Quit ruining everything for me!!!"

"Well, do you promise to leave our creatures alone?" The Cheshire Cat raised an eyebrow.

"Never!" Cartman snapped. "That Tigger is mine! And you're not gonna keep me from it!"

"Well, then," The Cheshire Cat started. "Have a nice flight!"

"Huh?" Cartman asked. The Cheshire Cat then smacked Cartman's hand, causing him to let go of the grass and fly backwards into a tree, and into another one.

"Reality is such a cruel thing..." Cartman grumbled.

As it was getting close to sunset, Banzai and Shenzi were on a hill in the Brisby Forest, where they could see the view of Animation Acres.

"He-he-he! Whoo-hoo-ah-ha-ha!!!!" Ed laughed as he appeared behind them.

"Well, did you get Scar?" Shenzi asked.

Ed laughed as he nodded.

"Well where is he, knucklehead?" Banzai growled.

"Oh, calm yourselves."

Banzai and Shenzi's eyes both widened as a large, red lion with a black mane, and a scar on his right eye, emerged from the shadows.

"Oh, Scar!" Banzai quickly changed his tone. "It's you!"

"Yeah," Shenzi spoke. "What do you think of what we found?"

Scar looked over to Animation Acres. "Hmm...Well, I've been waiting for some real food for days, but for now, this will do."

"You?" Banzai said. "But hey, what about us? We found it for you, so where's our grub?!"

Scar simply grabbed all three hyenas by their throats. "You will get the hyena's share, trust me." Scar grinned wickedly at them. "But you wouldn't want to get in my way sooner."

"Oh, yeah, sure!" Banzai struggled. "No problem!"

"That's more like it." Scar turned back to Animation Acres and grinned. "We head down...at night."

Barbara was reading the newspaper in her hands, as she was changing into her Batgirl suit.

"What's going on, Barb?" Timmy asked, poking his head through Barbara's door.

Barbara pulled her mask on. "A ferocious lion and a group of hyenas escaped the Alaskey Zoo the other night, we saw footprints of them leading to the south, far away from it."

"A lion?" Timmy asked. "But it's not around here is it?"

"Oh, no." Barbara chuckled as she knelt down to Timmy. "The south is much farther away from here. But are you sure you'll be okay tonight? You don't need one of us to stay behind and look out for you?"

"Nah, we're fine!" Timmy spoke. "Twilight trusted me and Spot!"

"Well, okay." Barbara said as she and Timmy hugged each other.

"Oooooh, but just be safe tonight!" Barbara cooed holding her cousin.

"Don't worry, Barb! We will!" Timmy spoke with confidence.

It was now dark in Animation Acres, as Timmy and Spot were tucking the three fillies into Timmy's bed.

"This was a great day, guys! That lunch you made was delicious, Spot!" Sweetie Belle turned to Spot.

"Well, I try." Spot said with a grin.

"But wait, where are you two gonna sleep?" Apple Bloom pulled her head up.

"Oh, don't worry." Timmy answered from at the end of the bed. "We'll just be at the bed, just to keep an eye on you."

"Oh...well, alright!" Apple Bloom said.

"Goodnight!" The fillies spoke from their beds.

"Goodnight!" Timmy and Spot both spoke as they got ready sleep on the floor. But they both took notice of Jiminy laying next to them.

"Jiminy?" Spot asked. "Why aren't you in your hole?"

"I just wanna keep an eye on you boys too." Jiminy spoke. "Just to make sure things don't go too haywire. Goodnight!"

Timmy and Spot looked at each other and shrugged. "Goodnight," They both said to Jiminy.

Soon, everyone was fast asleep.

An hour passed, and outside the bedroom window, the hyenas were looking through it, seeing the juicy morsels inside.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Look at all that meat!" Shenzi grinned.

"Yeah!" Banzai got ready to jump through. "Let's get 'em!"

All of a sudden, Scar grabbed Banzai's snout and threw him on the ground, before Banzai could make a scene.

Scar simply rolled his eyes and noticed everyone inside still asleep.

"I have a better idea to get the food out here, and for once, I'd like you to keep out of it."

"Come on, Scar! When are we gonna get our share?" Shenzi grumbled.

"Hey, you got your share the last time!" Banzai spoke up.

"Oh yeah! My bad," Shenzi then realized something. "Hey, wait! There was no 'last time'!"

Shenzi smacked Banzai on the head as Ed laughed.

Scar groaned as he smacked all three hyenas, shutting them all up.

Scar looked again through the window and grinned. He then got his claws ready, and softly scratched under the window, but not too loud.

Sweetie Belle's eyes opened as she stood up. "What was that?" She whispered.

She heard the scratching again. "Apple Bloom! Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle quietly woke her friends. "I keep hearing something outside!"

The scratching was heard again, alerting all three fillies. "What do ya think it is?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I say we go find it and chase it outta here!" Scootaloo said, softly.

"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle grinned.

"Ah don't know," Apple Bloom looked down. "We might get Timmy and Spot in trouble if we go out."

"Relax, Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle said. "We'll just sneak out...Aaaand sneak back in!"

"They'll never know we were gone!" Scootaloo spoke.

Apple Bloom thought for a second. "Well...okay! But let's just be quick!"

The fillies all nodded as they quietly snuck out of bed, without alerting Timmy, Spot or Jiminy.

"Shhh!!!" Scootaloo gestured Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle to follow her as they went to the front door, opened it and quietly snuck outside. But as they stepped outside, none of them knew they stepped in a tiny puddle.

"Hey, look!" Sweetie Belle pointed to the ground and saw wet paw prints, leading towards an alley.

"Well come on, let's go get it!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle began following the footsteps.

Apple Bloom nervously looked back to Timmy and Spot's house, before following Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, leaving prints behind too.

Timmy, Spot and Jiminy were still asleep in the bedroom. Spot opened his eyes slightly and got up for a second. He looked up at the bed and saw it empty.

"Hey," Timmy yawned. "Spot, what's going on?"

"Oh, nothing." Spot said half asleep. "The fillies are gone, that's all."

"Oh," Timmy nodded as they both started to fall back asleep again.

Suddenly, their eyes opened wide.

"THE FILLIES ARE GONE!!!!" Timmy and Spot both yelled. They immediately ran out of the bedroom and through the hallway looking for the fillies.

Jiminy however, didn't hear anything as he was still asleep. "Oh, Spot..." Jiminy cuddled up against a pillow, mistaking it for Spot in his sleep. "You're so much more softer than you look."

Timmy was running through the living room, removing every seat cushion off the couch. "They're not in the living room!"

"And they're not upstairs, either!" Spot ran downstairs.

"Oh, we really messed up this time!" Timmy held onto his hat and hair.

Suddenly, Spot stood up. "Wait a minute,"

"What is it?" Timmy asked.

Spot took a sniff of the air and ran outside.

"Spot?" Timmy walked outside with him.

"The girls! They went this way!" Spot looked at their hoof prints. "Follow me, Timmy!"

"Great work, Spot!" Timmy grinned and followed his dog.

But even more trouble was going on in the night. Cartman had another plan to catch Tigger, and he had luckily snuck out of his room without any trouble. He had enough of traps, he was now going to catch Tigger by force! He had with him a huge net to catch that bouncy creature once and for all!

He walked slowly through the Brisby Forest, net in hand, just waiting to nab Tigger.

But what Cartman didn't know, was that Tigger was watching him through a bush.

"Hey, that kid's got himself a netsies!" Tigger whispered. "Ah...I know what he's up for playing!"

Cartman continued walking through the Brisby Forest until he heard a voice.

"Oh, so it's YOU again, eh? Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Cartman grasped his net. "No you don't! Just...just get into the net...and-and everything will be fine! Alright?!"

"Well, we'll just have to see about that..."

Cartman backed up against a bush.

"Will we?!" Tigger's head popped out of the bush, scaring the daylights out of Cartman.

"Hey! What are you-" Cartman tried to say.

"Sorry, kiddo! But you're no much for the...Masked Offender!!!" Tigger bounced out of the bush in a purple cape, mask and royal hat.

Cartman was incredibly confused. "...What in the-"

"Have at thee!" Tigger pulled out his fake sword and tried to tackle Cartman again.

"No! Get away from me!!!" Cartman yelped as he tried to run away.

"You shall sample my blade! Hoo-hoo-hoo!!!" Tigger laughed playfully as he continued to chase Cartman.

The Cheshire Cat was watching through the trees, still smirking as he always does. "I'm just going to let Tigger have the floor with this one."

Meanwhile, Timmy and Spot were following the scent of the fillies, even up to the alley.

"Are you sure that they went through here?" Timmy asked nervously.

"That's what my scent's telling me." Spot replied.

As the two continued through, Timmy called out the fillies' names.

"Apple Bloom! Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo!"

Suddenly, Spot got a different smell.

"That's funny." Spot raised an eyebrow.

"What?" Timmy asked.

"I was picking up the three fillies before," Spot looked down. "But now, I'm getting three...something else." Spot suddenly got a twitch in his nose as he sneezed.

"Bless you." A voice spoke.

"Oh, thank you." Spot said, not paying attention.

"You're welcome!" Banzai, Shenzi and Ed all poked their heads from behind a wall and began laughing madly.

Timmy and Spot both screamed and jumped back, up against the wall as the laughing hyenas walked towards them with drooling mouths.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise." Shenzi chuckled.

"You don't know the half of it," Banzai grinned, pointing to Timmy and Spot. "Although, we'll eat more than the half of them!"

"Oooooh-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!!!" Ed laughed.

"Wha-wha-how did you get here?!" Timmy yelped.

"That ain't your business!" Banzai showed his teeth. "What matters now, is dinner time!"

Banzai looked at Timmy's shivering body and the pink hat on his head. "Look at him! He's got the shivers! I guess you can say he's...Tickled PINK!" Banzai laughed.

"Hold it! Hold it! I got another one!" Shenzi laughed as she pointed to the shivering Spot. "I guess you can say that he's...a COLD dog! Whatcha think?!"

As the hyenas continued laughing, Timmy and Spot tried to sneak away, but Ed jumped in their way.

"Hold it, Ed!" Banzai said. "I get the first bite!"

"Oh, no you don't!" Shenzi jumped in. "That first bite's got my name on it!"

"No it ain't!" Banzai then leaped towards Timmy and Spot with a hungry mouth, but they quickly crawled under him and tried to make a break to exiting the alley. But all of a sudden, two lion paws stood in their way.

Timmy and Spot both looked up and saw Scar's wicked grin. "Actually, they have my name on them."

"Uh...sure, Scar! Whatever you say!" Banzai said as he, Shenzi and Ed gathered around Timmy and Spot. "But, uh, I get the second bite, right?"

"Hey, don't start that again! I called dibs!" Shenzi pushed Banzai out of her way.

"Well, I called 'em first!" Banzai jumped in Scar's way.

"Did not!" Shenzi pushed Banzai again.

"Enough!" Scar pushed the hyenas out of his way again and dove in for a bite of Timmy and Spot.

But luckily, both jumped out of his way and tried to escape.

Suddenly, Timmy tripped and fell over. Scar appeared and grabbed him by the shirt. "Spot!"

Spot turned around and gasped when he saw Timmy in danger. Without a second thought, he leaped into the scene and bit Scar's paw.

Scar roared in pain as Spot helped Timmy up.

"Come on!" Spot yelped as he and Timmy ran through another way of the alley.

"I'll kill you for this!" Scar roared as he and the hyenas went after them. But when looking in both directions, they were gone.

"Find them!" Scar growled. "And bring them back...ALIVE."

"Oh, yeah! We got this!" Shenzi grinned as she, Banzai and Ed went to look on their own.

Banzai turned around to Scar. "But seriously, who gets the second bite?"

"GO!!!!" Scar roared, scaring the hyenas and causing them to run off.

As Scar went his own way to search for Timmy and Spot, he didn't notice Timmy and Spot peaked from behind an old mattress. When Scar and the hyenas were completely gone, they got out from behind the mattress.

"I think that did the trick!" Spot sighed in relief.

"That must've been the lion from the zoo Barbara told me of!" Timmy said. "They must've fooled her and went here instead!"

"Wait," Spot spoke. "If they're here, with us, then what about..."

Timmy and Spot's eyes widened. "THE FILLIES!!!"

They both began running frantically through the alley, hoping to find the fillies, but Timmy suddenly took notice of Spot standing still.

"Spot? Spot, what is it?" Timmy asked.

Spot turned to Timmy sadly and pointed to the ground. What was on the the ground...was Apple Bloom's pink bow.

Timmy's heart stopped. "Oh no,"

Spot picked up Apple Bloom's bow with tears in his eyes. "We...we're too late...They're gone!" Spot cried.

Timmy was in too much shock to react unlike Spot. "M-maybe this isn't what it looks like!" Timmy tried to say to his crying dog. "Maybe they dropped it and they're back home!"

"Oh, Timmy!" Spot sniffed. "This is real! They're...they're lion food!"

"Hey, Apple Bloom!" A familiar voice spoke up. "There's your bow!"

Timmy and Spot both looked up in shock. The fillies were right there, running up to them, just fine and without a scratch.

"Are you guys okay?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"You're okay!!!" Spot squealed with joy as he hugged Timmy and the fillies at the same time. But suddenly, reality got back to him. "Wait. What are you three doing out here?! We were worried sick about you!"

"Well, we heard a noise and we followed it out here." Scootaloo grinned nervously.

"All the way out here?!" Timmy said angrily. "Do you even know what we went through to find you?!"

"Three hyenas and a ferocious lion almost had us for dinner!" Spot joined in.

"Hyenas?!" Apple Bloom said in shock.

"A lion?!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said in unison.

"Yeah! And they'll find us again if we don't get out of here! Now, let's go!" Spot spoke.

The five of them quickly found the way out of the alley, and saw home was only seconds away.

"Home at last!" Spot grinned as they started heading back.

"Yeah," Timmy nodded. "That was a close one, right Jiminy?"

Timmy didn't hear anything.

"Jiminy?" Timmy looked in his pocket and noticed Jiminy wasn't in there. "Oh no! We left Jiminy behind!"

"We gotta go back for him!" Spot yelped.

"We'll go with ya!" Apple Bloom spoke.

Timmy stood in the fillies' way "No way! There's hyenas and a lion out there!"

"That's right! Now go back inside and don't move an inch from there!" Spot ordered.

As Timmy and Spot turned back to the alley, Scootaloo called. "But really! We can help!"

"No, girls! Stay!" Spot spoke as he continued walking. "You've done enough for the night."

As Timmy and Spot walked away, the fillies looked down in shame for what they did. The three of them sadly opened the front door to the house and went inside like they were told.

As they headed back upstairs, Scootaloo turned to Apple Bloom. "Uh, Apple Bloom? We're sorry we got us all in trouble."

"No," Apple Bloom looked down. "Ah should've spoken up more."

"But WE should've listened!" Sweetie Belle walked up to Apple Bloom.

"It doesn't matter." Apple Bloom shook her head. "Let's just get back to bed and wait for Timmy and Spot."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle noticed Scootaloo just looking straight into Timmy and Spot's room.

"Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom walked up to her friend. "What's wrong?"

Scootaloo, with widened eyes pointed in the bedroom, and noticed Jiminy still sleeping on the pillow.

"Jiminy?" Apple Bloom's eyes widened also as she ran up to him. She lightly nudged him to wake him.

"Uh, wha-what's going on?" Jiminy asked, standing up, fully awake. He looked up at the fillies. "Oh hello, girls! What are you up to?"

"...Aren't Timmy and Spot looking for you?" Sweetie Belle asked, worried.

Jiminy thought for a second. "No, last I checked, I was right here with them sleeping. Why?" Jiminy turned his head around. "Where are they, anyway?"

The fillies all gasped in horror.

"Jiminy!!!" Timmy called. "Jiminy!!!"

"Where are you?!" Spot also called. "Are you okay?"

"We gotta find him fast!" Timmy whispered. "We don't want to run into those hyenas again!"

"I'm aware of that!" Spot whispered back in fear.

Suddenly, the two of them heard familiar laughter. They noticed the way the entered was getting louder and louder with laughter.

"Okay..." Spot spoke in fear. "Well, that exit's blocked...maybe Jiminy's over there!" Spot pointed to the right. But as they started to go that way, more laughter was heard. Both ways were both getting louder and louder with that horrible laughter. All Timmy and Spot could do right now was hold each other as three familiar figures emerged from the darkness.

"The alley is filled with WHAT?!!!" Jiminy asked in fear to the fillies.

"Three hyenas and a big lion!" Scootaloo said. "They tried to eat Timmy and Spot before!"

"And right now, Ah reckon they're gonna try again!" Apple Bloom spoke up.

"Well, right now, I gotta go save them!" Jiminy pulled off his vest and began walking out of the bedroom.

"But Jiminy! They're ten times you're size! You can't stand a chance against them!" Sweetie Belle said nervously.

"Ten times my size!" Jiminy harrumphed. "So what if they're...ten times...my...size..." Jiminy got slower and slower in realization, as he sat down and put his hands to his face in sadness and worry. "What do we do now?"

"There's gotta be something!" Scootaloo said looking down to the poor cricket.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!" A voice yelled.

Jiminy and the fillies ran to the window and saw Cartman running back to his house.

"That's it! I'm done! I can't stand it anymore!!!" Cartman yelled as he slammed the door.

Tigger then bounced in the street, still wearing his 'Masked Offender' costume. "Well, then! I guess it's back to a one-Tigger game! Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

"Oh, no..." Jiminy groaned, slapping his forehead. "It's Tigger! That insane, bounce-crazed lunatic!"

"Who?" Sweetie Belle turned to Jiminy.

"Oh, I see him usually bouncing around in the Brisby Forest. Sometimes, he jumps me from behind, almost giving me an attack!" Jiminy spoke. "But don't worry, despite his insanity, he's harmless."

Apple Bloom looked down for a second and began to think. Suddenly, an idea popped in her head. "That's it! Come on, girls!"

"Wha-where are you going?!" Jiminy asked in worry.

"Don't worry! We'll be right back!" Apple Bloom called out. "Just call for help in the meantime!"

As the fillies left, Jiminy instantly ran to find an SBFF communicator. "Call for help! Call for help! Call for help!"

Meanwhile, the fillies ran outside and found Tigger bouncing around with his fake sword.

"Uh, mister Tigger?" Apple Bloom called.

Tigger turned to the fillies. "Oh, hello fellow civilizationings! What are you doing on this fine evening?"

"Well, it turns out there's someone in deep trouble! And we need a bit of help!" Scootaloo grinned.

The fillies and Tigger all huddled together as they discussed what they had in mind.

Meanwhile, Jiminy finally found the SBFF communicator, and was waiting for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" Batgirl's voice answered.

"Uh, hi!" Jiminy spoke nervously. "It's me, Jiminy. I...I, uh, Long story short...we solved your lion problem."

Things were going pretty bad for Timmy and Spot right now. They were now both tied to a silver platter and prepared to be eaten.

Ed jumped in front of them, sniffing them a bit, but quickly backed out of the way when Scar walked up to them.

"Now then, since we've taken care of previous issues," Scar spoke. "I say it's time to eat."

Scar scratched an x-mark on Timmy's shirt and raised his claw, ready to dig in.

Timmy and Spot closed their eyes tight, preparing for the worst, when suddenly...

"Halt, foul vill-AINS!"

Scar and the hyenas stopped what they were doing and looked up at a building and saw an orange and black creature in a purple suit.

"Hey, who's that guy?" Banzai asked, confused.

"This looks like a job for...The Masked Offender!!!" Tigger leaped down to Scar and the hyenas and stood in a fighting pose.

The hyenas were stunned, but Banzai growled and leaped in for an attack. But Tigger jumped in the air and bounced on Banzai, riding him like a horse.

"Wha-hey!! Get off me!!!" Banzai struggled, but Tigger still held on, still 'Hoo-hoo-hoo-ing' all the way.

Timmy and Spot were just as weirded out by this strange creature, but realization hit Spot. "You know, Timmy, I think he's trying to help!" When noticing Scar was distracted, Spot then quickly used his teeth and claws to break him and Timmy free of the rope.

"Let's put you in your place!" Tigger hopped off Banzai, as he accidentally ran into a trash can.

Shenzi and Ed were in horror by this strange creature, and got back when Tigger held up the can.

"Time to take out the trash." Tigger spoke in a low voice. He then threw the trash can, causing it to roll towards them.

Shenzi and Ed both yelped and tried to escape, but they quickly got in contact with the trash can and crashed, leaving all three hyenas seeing stars.

Scar was confused at best, but quickly turned to Timmy and Spot who were trying to escape.

"Don't think you're getting away that easy!" Scar snarled.

Tigger saw what was going on. "Uh-oh!"

Timmy and Spot both screamed and held onto each other as Scar leaped towards them with a roar. But Tigger quickly bounced on Scar's head, causing him to fall over, as he quickly grabbed both Timmy and Spot and bounced back up to the building.

As Scar regained his senses, he noticed Timmy and Spot were gone. Scar roared in anger and frustration. "Run all you want, but I WILL find you!" Scar growled, not noticing where the two were.

As Scar ran off into the alley, trying to search for them, Tigger giggled. "Hoo-hoo-hoo, somebody's in need of a vision check." Tigger then bounced away with Timmy and Spot, leaving Scar in the alley.

Scar was still searching through the alley, hungry for meat, when suddenly, his ears twitched. At this moment, he felt something wasn't right...he suddenly felt there was something near...something that made him tense...it was almost like...

A NET!!!

Scar quickly tried to run away, but he quickly found himself caught in a purple net. He looked up saw him face to face with the SBFF's. "Looks like someone needs to go back to the zoo!" Batgirl spoke, smirking.

Supergirl held up a net filled with the hyenas. "Uh, Scar?" Banzai chuckled nervously through the net. "When we get back...on what we eat...can I get the second bite?"

Scar groaned. "I'm surrounded by idiots..."

The next morning, Timmy and Spot were sitting on their stairs in disappointment and embarrassment.

"We really made fools of ourselves." Spot sighed.

"The fillies are probably telling Twilight how we screwed up with the hyenas right now." Timmy said, sadly.

"Boys!" Twilight's voice called.

Timmy and Spot both looked sadly to each other and walked outside to see Twilight.

"Boys," Twilight spoke to them in her usual tone. "I just want to know if something is true."

"And what is that?" Timmy and Spot both said with their heads down.

"Did you boys save the girls from that lion and hyenas?" Twilight asked, grinning.

Timmy and Spot's eyes widened. They looked over at Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo who were waving at them with big grins.

"Uh, yeah! We saved them in the nick of time!" Spot grinned.

"Yeah! We sure did!" Timmy nodded.

Twilight ran over to Timmy and Spot and hugged them both. "Oh, boys!" She said, happily. "I'm so lucky to count on you two."

Timmy and Spot glanced over to the fillies, as they all shared smiles with each other, as Apple Bloom winked to Timmy and Spot.

THE END
