Talent Show

## Plot

The episode starts with several tree friends sitting outside a theater. The judges, being Lumpy, Felix, and Cuddles, Felix eagerly watching the curtains and grinning. Button peeks through the curtains, shaking with fear. Bunnie comforts him and tells him he's going to do just fine. Toothy, the host, explains that it's time for them to begin their talent show. The curtains start to move, and Button quickly scampers away to the side, allowing Bunnie to take the stage. Bunnie, with the help of several rabbits, performs a circus-like act where the rabbits jump through hoops and balance on balls. Felix squeals in delight and Lumpy smiles happily, but Cuddles is mortified at seeing his own species being treated like this. Cuddles hits the red buzzer, causing Bunnie to be catapulted off of a spring attached to the plank he was on. He splatters onto a tree, his corpse falling pitifully to the ground while his blood leaves a trail on the tree.

Seeing this makes Button more nervous as he watches Handy and Petunia come up next.  Handy tries to grab a guitar while Petunia gets one of the microphones. She clears her throat and glances over at Handy, who cannot get the guitar due to his lack of hands. He scowls and she looks around, laughing nervously. Cuddles and Felix look at each other in confusion while Lumpy scoffs and hits the button for them to be kicked off as well. This time, a trap door opens and they both fall to their demise, their screams fading away the deeper they go. Button winces. He looks around nervously, starting to panic.

Pastry comes in with an apple, bow, and arrows, placing the apple on a stool. He carefully tries to aim the bow so the arrow  stabs into the apple. Pastry releases the arrow, and it bounces off the walls- directly into the crowd. A shot of Tapey is shown, trying to eat popcorn through his tape. The arrow stabs directly into his head, and his head sags. A GTF's arm reaches out and takes some of his popcorn. Pastry stares at the scene, his eyes wide. He laughs nervously before darting behind the stage before the judges can react. Felix claps and giggles happily while Lumpy and Cuddles exchange a confused glance. Button is pushed out by Pastry as he runs behind the curtain, causing everyone to stare at him. Button swallows nervously, looking around fearfully. He remembers what Bunnie told him earlier and, after taking a deep breath, starts singing. The whole audience goes silent as he sings a song, his voice soft and steady. When he is finished, he looks around worriedly, thinking he did something wrong. The judges smile and Felix claps, all of them pressing the green button. The Mole comes up and hands Button a trophy while Toothy cheers for him. Button smiles nervously and looks at the crowd, who is cheering for him as well. Unfortunately. His happy moment is short-lived, as one of the stage lights comes loose and falls directly on him, crushing him. Everyone stares in shock before Toothy picks up the trophy, which was still in Button's hands, and gives it to Pastry, the only surviving contestant. Pastry starts to cry happily and holds the trophy up. The iris closes on the trophy.
