## Differences from “Tree of Hearts”

* The biggest difference is that in this fanfic, Truckee obsesses over Treeflower. In the original episode, it’s the opposite and it’s actually Treeflower who obsesses over Truckee,
* Treeflower is a hippie in this episode instead of a businesswoman.
* This episode takes place on July 17, 1997 instead of August 22, 1996.
* There are several deleted scenes from the original script of the episode leaked on June 30, 2023 than are included in this fanfic.
* There’s more dialogue between Norbert and Daggett over the Instant Wood, which was a deleted scene in the original episode.
* During the scene of Norbert getting ready, he is shown setting up snacks, ironing his hippie outfit, and tye dying his tail. In the original episode, he is only shown getting his hippie outfit.
* There’s a scene of Daggett and Truckee having a confrontation and Truckee trapping Daggett in the water-activated block of Instant Wood. This was. deleted scene in the original episode.
* Treeflower calls him “Norby” throughout the entire fanfic and not “Norb” like in the original episode.
* When Treeflower arrives at the dam, she gives him a cassette tape with some music on it as a gift. This was not shown in the original episode.
* There’s no scene of Norbert and Treeflower in the portable elevator.
* Truckee arrives at the dam and brings Treeflower flowers and also assaults Norbert and telling him his evil plan. This is not in the original episode.
* The scene where Norbert and Daggett figure out how to get Treeflower back with Norbert takes place in the living room instead of the forest.
* The scene of Treeflower and Truckee in the truck on their way to get wax has different dialogue than the original scene.
* Bing appears in the fanfic to help Norbert and Daggett out, when he was never mentioned once in the original episode.
	+ In fact, “Tree of Hearts” takes place before Norbert and Daggett met Bing in “The Bing That Wouldn’t Leave”.
* Tina is shown as the stand saleswoman in this fanfic, when in the episode she was supposed to be Norbert’s new girlfriend made to make Treeflower jealous.
* Daggett speaks in a thick German accent as the salesman giving Truckee the balloons, when in the original episode he spoke in his normal voice.
* Bing is the one controlling Tina, and not Daggett like in the original episode.
* Treeflower asks Tina the whereabouts of Truckee, and not Norbert like in the original episode.
* Daggett says “WHY YOU LITTLE!!!” during the fighting scene of him and Truckee, which he does not say in the original episode.
* There’s a mini scene of Norbert checking up on Daggett after the fight, which is not present in “Tree of Hearts”.
* During the near ending of the fanfic, there’s a scene of Norbert confronting Truckee and him being revealed to have been trying to steal Treeflower.
* Truckee gets sent airborne by balloons twice, instead of once.
* Daggett gets beat up by Truckee once instead of twice.
* Treeflower says that she’ll “always be his girlfriend”, instead of always being his “friend” like she said in the original episode. Regardless, she still was his girlfriend after the events of both this fanfic and the original episode.
* Norbert and Treeflower watch the sunset ending the fanfic, which doesn’t happen in the original episode.

## Trivia

* This is the first fanfiction by KingoftheJungle1993 based off a Season 2 episode.

* This is the first physical appearance of Truckee and Bing in Antonio’s fanfictions.
