Warning: The following contains graphic content that may not be suitable for children. Viewer discretion is advised.

Toppy, Rohan, Dave, Tex, and I were in the neighborhood with RJ and the family, trying to figure out a plan to get the first thing on Vincent's list.

"OK," said Rohan. "What was the first thing we needed again?"

"A red wagon," said Tex.

"But where are we gonna find one?" asked Toppy.

"From last time that we did this," said Verne. "I remember that RJ had Hammy pretend to be a rabid squirrel to steal a wagon full of cookies from some Scouts. Let's try that."

"I'm not doing that again," said Hammy.

At that moment, we saw two Scouts walking with the red wagon full of cookies that we needed.

"There they are!" I said. "But how do we get them?"

"I got this," said RJ, as he was about to go get the wagon.

But right before he could, the EXE got onto him and started changing him into RJ. EXE. RJ screamed in pain as he changed.

"RJ! What happened?!" asked Verne.

"I don't know! Go to the log! Now!" said RJ, as he slowly changed into RJ. EXE.

RJ. EXE had black skin, red eyes, and sharp teeth, just like all of the previous EXE transformations. Verne and the family watched in horror as he went up to the Scouts and knocked them out cold.

"What's going on?!" asked Verne.

"The EXE! It must've fell off of the tree!" said Toppy, in horror.

"RJ?" asked Hammy, as he got close to RJ. EXE.

At that moment, RJ. EXE grabbed Hammy by the paw. The family gasped in shock at this evil act.

"Well, well, well," said RJ. EXE. "Hammy The Squirrel. YOU ARE GONNA MAKE A NICE DINNER FOR ME!"

"RJ, no!" said Hammy, as RJ. EXE attacked him.

"Guys! To the log! Go!" said Verne, as the entire family got into the log. "RJ, I don't get it. We were good friends. You were so nice. What happened?"

"The EXE happened!" I said. "It's eating away at his heart slowly, just like it did to us. The only way to stop it is with a hug."

Meanwhile, RJ. EXE was continuing to attack Hammy. Blood could be seen coming from Hammy's nose as he passed out onto the wagon. RJ then reverted back to normal and realized what he just did.

"Hammy? No! What have I done?! You were my friend!!!!!!!" said RJ, as he tried to get the EXE off of him.

"He's fighting it!" said Ozzie.

"We need to hug him! Now!" said Verne, as he and the rest of the family rushed to hug RJ.

"Guys! I can't do this! It's too strong!" said RJ, as he tried to get the EXE off of him. "I'm so sorry for being too weak!"

"You're not weak, RJ!" said Verne, as he and the rest of the family hugged him. "We trust you! We love you!"

"Yeah, RJ," said Hammy, as he sped up to hug him. "You're our family."

At that moment, the EXE got off of RJ and he turned back to normal.

"I'm back," said RJ. "Thanks, guys."

"Of course," said Verne.

RJ then noticed the blood coming from Hammy's nose.

"That was my fault, Hammy," said RJ. "I'm sorry."

"It's OK, RJ," said Hammy, as we pushed him in the wagon full of cookies. "As you can see, it was worth it!"

"Two items off of the list!" said Tex.

"Awesome!" said RJ. "We still need a lot though. Including for ourselves."

"Don't worry, guys," said Rohan. "This is only the beginning."

"As long as we never have to deal with EXE again, I'm good," said Verne.

"Then, let's get a blue cooler," said Dave.

So, we, along with the rest of the family, were on our way to get the blue cooler we needed for Vincent. But EXE would strike once again.
