## Plot

It all started at Long Forest with Mikey and Todd watching Meat Sweats prepare lunch. Todd recognized Meat Sweats back when he joined the Evil league of Mutants until Mikey explained that he was one Rupert Swaggart and then he saw that Meat Sweats is using mystic ingredients like the moon truffle.

Todd wondered what it is and the box turtle explained that the truffle only appears when Jupiter eclipses the full moon. Mikey and Todd started to sneak over to try and get the truffle only for them to slip and crash onto the van, causing the truffle to fly out and get grabbed by a hawk. Meat Sweats started to chase them around the forest.

Todd begins to sacrifice himself by guarding Mikey until he gets himself drained by Meat Sweat’s tentacles. As he drained all of Todd’s essence, he suddenly turned nice. Mikey realized that he must have sucked Todd’s niceness. The pig became confused that he lost the truffle and Mikey lied that Todd lost the truffle so Meat Sweats said that they should find a new one. Mikey’s eyes grew wide, believing Meat Sweats is gonna be his friend, and they began to leave Todd behind.

After they started to have fun, the moon lit up in the sky and Meat Sweats said that it’s time to find the Truffle. It started to get difficult for Mikey as he helped Meat Sweats get across the obstacles until they managed to reach it. Meat Sweats asked Mikey to get the truffle as the turtle agreed. He starts to go after it but as soon as he grabs it, he is caught by a monstrous living Weretree.

Mikey asked Meat Sweats what was going on until the pig revealed that the niceness had worn off and tricked him by getting the truffle. That broke the turtle’s heart until the truffle was received by Todd who had recovered. Meat Sweats tried to attack but Todd dodged his blows. Mikey started to use his whip to pull Meat Sweats onto the tree and freed himself. But then, Meat Sweats and the tree started to fuse into a treehog. Mikey tells Todd to chunk him but the capybara said that he is not a woodchuck, even though he is mistaken as one. They started to hide and Mikey wondered what he was gonna do. Having an idea, he knew that his silver mallet Meat Sweats gave him.  Mikey tells Todd that he will be the periscope this time. The box turtle then throws the silver mallet right onto Meat Sweats, turning back into his pig form.

With the truffle in hand, Mikey started to cook up some pork chops for Todd.
