## Plot

The special starts at Cuddles and Giggles’ house. They are happily packing their things. Cuddles tells Giggles that he cannot wait to go on vacation with his friends. Giggles feels the same way. The two finish up their packing. Cuddles then zips up his suitcase. Giggles was missing one thing, her sunglasses. She searches their whole bedroom for them. After a period of time, she eventually finds them way back in their closet. She grabs them. Now they were all set. They both were to meet up with a couple people at the dock, where Russell's ship is supposed to be. They both head out the door and leave.

Meanwhile, Petunia comes out of her and Handy's house. Petunia feels bad that Handy cannot come on the trip since he has work to do. They both kiss each other goodbye and Petunia heads out. She can’t wait to get some fresh air.

Toothy is walking with his suitcase. He spots Nutty and Sniffles playing basketball. Toothy greets them and tells them both that Lumpy invited him to go on vacation. He asks if they are able to go, but Nutty’s voice sounded a little different and he had to rest it up by staying in the area and Sniffles couldn’t because he would get sea sick so easily. Toothy says goodbye to them and heads out.

Then, we cut to Flaky’s house. She had pictures of Russell all over her wall. She had a huge crush on him. She sings a sweet song about him while she finishes packing her stuff. She was so glad that Russell invited her on vacation. Flaky assumes that Russell thinks that she’s a beautiful girl, and that’s why he invited her. Then, she looks at the clock and realizes that she is late. She hurries out the door.

At the dock Lumpy and Russell are waiting for the others. Then, Cuddles, Giggles, Petunia, Toothy, arrive at the same time. Lumpy states that he felt bad that the other people he invited couldn’t come. Then, Flaky arrives carrying so much luggage. She blushes at the sight of Russell. Lumpy tells everyone that apparently out of everyone else, they were the only ones that could join them. Then, everyone boards the ship. Flaky however is struggling. Russell comes up to her and asks if she needs any help. Flaky smiles and blushes and says that she does need help. Russell takes some of her stuff for her so she would have less to carry. Then, the two eventually join everyone else on the ship.

Lumpy tells Russell that he will do the driving for him, which Russell thanks him. Then, the ship takes off. Cuddles, Giggles, Petunia, and Toothy are amazed. Then, Giggles stand on the edge and shouts, “I’m the queen of the world!” A reference to Titanic. Then, Cuddles wraps his arms around her chest as Giggles spreads out her arms. Flaky is happily sitting on top of a crate while staring at Russell. Petunia and Toothy are happily drinking smoothies together. A montage of everyone having fun is shown. Then, Russell sits with Flaky on the crate, much to her surprise. He puts his arm around her and asks if she’s having a good time so far. Flaky responds that she is. Then, Russell tells her that whatever happens, he will be at her side, which makes Flaky blush harder. Suddenly, it becomes night time. Everyone sits in a circle and decide to play a game before bed. However, they are having trouble coming up with a game. Then, Cuddles got an idea. He suggested that they play a game called charades. He explains that someone will act out something, and the others will try to guess what it is. Giggles thought it sounded fun. Then, they start the game. Cuddles acts out a bird. After a series of guesses, Giggles guesses correctly. Then, it was her turn. She acts out a hairbrush. Petunia correctly guesses that. Then, it was her turn. She acts out a guitar, which Russell guesses correctly. Then, Russell gives out a hard one, that everyone else has trouble figuring out. He acts out that he was diving in the water to meet lots of beautiful creatures. Then, they realize it’s getting late. They go to put on their pajamas and each go to the bedrooms. As Flaky goes to get settled in her room, Russell comes in, which makes her smile. Russell asks if they can be roommates, much to her surprise. She happily accepts the offer. Flaky jumps in bed and hopes that Russell will sleep in the same bed as her, and he does so, causing her to smile so hard. While they sleep, Flaky moves closer to him and rests her head on his, snuggling with him. Then, she smiles.

The next morning. everyone is happily enjoying the ocean. Giggles and Petunia are happily playing with each other’s hands. Cuddles is seen resting on a towel looking up at the sky. Everything is going so smoothly. Flaky was so happy because she had a beautiful night snuggling with Russell last night. She couldn’t wait to do it again. Later, it was starting to get cloudy. It was starting to get windy too. Everyone was shocked. Then, it started to storm. Everyone panics and takes cover. Flaky was extremely scared. Russell grabs her hand and takes him inside their cabin. Meanwhile, Lumpy stops the ship and him, Cuddles, and Toothy try to stop the sails. The girls were hiding behind a crate.

The storm seemed to last for a long time. Then, Flaky and Russell come out of their rooms while holding onto each other. Lumpy has no clue what to do. Russell suggests that they get help. Everyone was trapped on the ship while in the middle of sea. Lumpy had an idea. He was going to find help. He tells everyone to stay on the ship and that he will hopefully be back soon. Then, Lumpy jumps off and swims away while everyone waves goodbye to him. Russell tells everyone to help with the sails. Everyone grabs onto a sail and starts pulling to make them stop. However, due to how windy it is, the sails start to rip off. Cuddles notices a raft in one of the crates. Then, it rains extremely hard, causing the water to rise. Cuddles suggests that they all escape. Cuddles takes out the raft and starts blowing into the tube. The raft is now inflated. He tosses it into the water. He tells everyone to jump into the raft. Everyone jumps off and Flaky is frightened. Russell holds out his arms and says that he will catch her. Flaky takes a deep breath, closes her eyes, and jumps, landing in Russell’s arms. Cuddles tries to paddle away. Then, things get worse. It starts to storm harder and the win causes the waves to get heavier. Everyone holds on for dear life. Then, the raft goes upwards, causing Russell who was at the top to fall into the water. Everyone gasps. Flaky screams at what happened. They try to reach for Russell, but he is eventually too far out. Flaky starts crying at the loss of Russell as Petunia comforts her. Then, they continue to survive. Giggles goes to the top to keep balance of the raft, but then, she slips, causing Cuddles to gasp and attempt to reach out for her, but she slips out of Cuddles’ arm and lands into the water as well. It turns out that Giggles and Russell were both drowning now and it is unknown if they will survive. Later, the wind dies down and Cuddles, Toothy, Petunia, and Flaky try to survive the rest of the time. After a long while, they arrive on an island.

Later, after the four are recovering, Cuddles, Toothy, and Petunia are amazed. The clouds have finally cleared up and they were on a deserted island. Flaky stays behind on the raft, looking knocked out and unconscious. She is lying on the floor. Cuddles, Toothy, and Petunia are happy that they escaped the ship and have made it to the island. They explore around the island. Cuddles is very disappointed that Giggles was gone. The island had lots of palm trees. The sand was also soft. Cuddles tells them both that they had to find a way to get help, after what has happened. Petunia notices that Flaky is also gone and asks where she is. The three turn and notice that she is still resting on the raft. Petunia runs to her while Cuddles and Toothy decide to get some coconuts down from some of the palm trees. Petunia tries to wake Flaky up, but she is acting a lot stranger. She makes noises instead of talking. Petunia wonders what could’ve happened.

Meanwhile, the boys are hitting the trees with their foots, causing the coconuts to fall off. They grab them, break them open, and start drinking the milk from them. Petunia rushes over and tells them that there’s something wrong with Flaky. She was acting very different than usual, Toothy suggests that she probably needs help as well. So the three decide to find ways to get help so that someone can help Flaky. Petunia finds a stick in the distance. She takes it and spells out “SOS” in the sand. Toothy has no clue what it stands for and Cuddles tells him that it means, “Save Our Souls” The three hope that someone in the air will see the message. Then, Toothy gets an idea. He spotted an old cloth seen in a container in the distance. He decides to create smoke signals, but Cuddles states that there has to be a fire first. Without a fire, they wouldn’t be successful with the smoke signals.

In the distance, Flaky hears their conversation. Then, she gets up and rushes over towards a forest. The three see her and proceed to run after her. Flaky backs them off telling them to leave her alone in a weird voice. As Flaky wanders into the woods, the three are more confused. The three then decide to find other ways to get help. Petunia actually liked the idea of Toothy’s smoke signals. Then, the three hear something. It turns out to be an airplane flying. The three gasp and start shouting and waving their arms with hopes of the pilot seeing Petunia’s message that she wrote. However the airplane flies right pass them causing them to gasp, they shout at the airplane to come back, but with no luck. Cuddles, Toothy, and Petunia sigh in sadness that the airplane didn’t notice them at all. They had to find a way to make a fire so that they could try Toothy’s smoke signal idea.

Meanwhile in the woods, Flaky is running very fast while panting. She didn’t want anything to do with those guys and all she wanted was Russell back. Then she trips and lays down while looking at the tops of the trees. She breathes heavily. Then, she shouts Russell’s name, hoping that he had a chance of hearing her, but all it was was silence. Flaky gets upset. Then, she decides to have another nap. Then, a piece of wood falls on her head, causing her to get mad. She takes the wood and breaks it. Flaky got an idea. She was going to have a plan to find Russell. She finds leaves and creates an eyepatch with it. She wears it on her right eye, just like where Russell’s eyepatch is. Then, she needed to find more supplies. Flaky was planning to become a pirate herself to rescue Russell. She sets deeper to find more materials.

Meanwhille, Cuddles, Toothy, and Petunia are searching around the island for wood to start a fire with. They search almost everywhere, but cannot find anything at all. They are upset by this. Without the wood, they would be unable to start a fire. Petunia also suggests that they find shelter as well, but that required a lot of wood. Then, the three turn towards the forest, where Flaky has wandered into. They think that there is a possibility that there could be wood in there. The three head towards the forest to go search for wood for the fire.

As Flaky is running to go search for materials to make pirate gear with, she runs into a tiger who is growling at her. Thinking that it will attack and eat her, she hits the tiger’s head with her foot, causing the tiger to get really mad with her. He chases after Flaky as she makes a run for it. She grabs wood on the ground and hits the tiger with it, making it more angry than ever. Then, she hides in front of a tree causing the tiger to get knocked out. Flaky sighs in relief and runs off.

In another section, Cuddles, a toothy, and Petunia are searching for wood for their campfire back at the island. They notice lots of wood coming of a few trees, which makes them happy. They each collect wood and carry it. They do this for a while. Then, Toothy notices footprints in the sand. There were two sets of footprints. One was regular feet, and the other looked like circles of footprints. They all smile, thinking they were successful in finding help. Then, all three of them follow the footprints. They travel, deeper, and deeper, and deeper, still holding onto the wood and hoping to not drop any. The footprints kept on going. It was getting a little darker as well. Luckily, Petunia found a lantern on the ship and brought it with her. She turns it on for brightness. They continue down the trail following the footprints. Then, they stop and smell something. It smelled like smoke. They believe that something is on fire. Then, they hear rustling coming from the right side. They rush down. Then, they catch someone in the bushes nearby. Then, that someone comes out. It was Russell! He was carrying sticks. The three are very happy to see him alive and well. They give him a hug. Cuddles asks what has happened. Russell will tell everyone everything at the fire. Then, Cuddles looks around and asks where Giggles is and if she survived the incident. Russell assures him that she is fine and that she was with him for most of the time that they arrived on the island. Cuddles was glad to hear this. Russell takes the three to the campfire. Then, they see Giggles sitting by the fire. She waves to everyone. Cuddles rushes over to her and gives her a big hug and kiss. She was happy to see him as well. Petunia also gives Giggles a hug, asking if she was okay, Giggles states that she is. Then, Cuddles sits with Giggles at the fire and everyone else takes their seats. Russell and Giggles were about to explain to everyone what has happened to them. But before Russell could start, he looks around. He asks where Flaky is. Petunia tells him that Flaky started acting very strange towards them. She also started making strange noises and wandered off somewhere else in the woods. Russell panics and is very sad and worried about her. He hopes that they are able to find her. Then, he tells everyone else what happened.

After Russell got knocked off the raft. He landed under the water. Russell was a good swimmer, so he decided to swim for safety while holding his breath. While swimming, he noticed Giggles was also drowning. He decided to help her swim to shore with him so they could survive. She followed Russell while holding their breaths. The swimming took a lot of work and time. Finally, they made it to the island. They decided to start a fire, and they were also worried about the others. They both went into the woods to get some sticks and wood. They travel very deep and deep until they find lots of woods. Then, they find a clear circled spot. They decided to have their campfire there. They stacked the wood and Russell rubbed two sticks to make a fire. They both then slept under trees and used leaves as pillows and blankets. The next day, they just sat by the fire the whole time and Russell gathered more wood until those three ran into them.

The three are shocked to hear what had happened, but are glad they both survived. Russell then says that he wants to find Flaky and help her. So that’s what the five do. They plan to go search for her.

On the other sides of the woods, Flaky is gathering materials, still believing that Russell is still gone. She has found more leaves, tree bark, and more woods. She was going to create a pirate outfit with these things, so she got to work. She used the leaves to make a shirt that resembles Russell’s with the triangle cut out edges. She puts it on. Then, she used the wood to make a hook shape out of it. It took a lot of work, but she made it look right. Then, she made a holder for the hook and stuck the hook at the end of it. Then, she wore the hook on her right hand, where Russell’s hook is located. Then, she grabs more of the leaves to create a pirate hat. The successfully does so and wears it on her head. Then, she was missing one more thing, the peg legs. She gathers wood to create fake pegs. Then, she wears them on her feet like shoes. Flaky now looks like a pirate just like her crush, Russell. Then, she sets off to find Russell.

Russell leads everyone walking into the woods. Everyone starts calling out Flaky’s name, but there is no answer. Russell was very worried. They keep on calling out to her while continuing to walk deeper and deeper into the woods. Later, they have been searching for a while but there was still no sign of Flaky. Everyone sighs. Then, it is getting late, and they realize that they have been searching for Flaky for a while now. Petunia suggests they head back to the island for the night and get some sleep. So, the five head back to the island.

Once they got there, they went in spots to go to sleep. Cuddles and Giggles slept near the ocean, Toothy slept under a palm tree, Petunia slept in the middle of the island, and Russell slept near rocks all alone. He missed Flaky so much. He sadly closed his eye and went to sleep.

The next morning, Flaky escaped the woods while being chased by the tiger from earlier. She screams while running past the others who were just about to wake up. Then, Russell hears a scream, causing him to gasp as he wakes up. He looks around then screams. He saw Flaky on the raft being cornered by a tiger. Russell was surprised to see Flaky as a pirate like him. Russell rushes after Flaky to help. Everyone else wake up and sees her, which they all cheer. Russell grabs a stick and proceeds to beat the tiger with it. The tiger gets madder. Toothy has an idea. He grabs some leaves and make a meat shape out of it, he then distracts the tiger. Toothy throws the meat into the water and the tiger swims after it. After it sinks the tiger also sinks. Russell rushes to the raft and hugs Flaky so tight. He asks her if she is okay. He tells her that he is here. Flaky suddenly hears a familiar voice. She opens her eyes and sees Russell next to him, causing her to gasp in happiness. She says his name, which makes Russell hug Flaky even tighter. Then, Flaky starts to act funny, leaving Russell with great concern. The others approach them and Petunia asks Flaky if she’s okay. Flaky continues to act funny, then she gets dizzy and falls. Russell catches her. Flaky then started to feel very unwell. Russell panics. Petunia thinks that maybe medicine would help. Giggles says that Flaky should see a doctor. Then, they had an idea. They would try to find medicine somewhere and see if it would cure Flaky. Luckily, Russell grabbed a bunch of things while they were all escaping the ship. He actually had medicine with him. Then everyone circled around Flaky. Russell opens the medicine and places a pill inside Flaky’s mouth. Flaky swallows it and everyone hopes that she would be better. Flaky apparently wasn’t better at all, causing everyone to get upset. Maybe medicine wasn’t the best idea.

Meanwhile back in the city, Splendid gets off an airplane and is very shocked of what he just saw. Splendid had seen Cuddles, Toothy, and Petunia from the airplane window he was on and he felt bad for them. He thinks they were stranded. He decided to go back there and save them.

Back at the island, they were all trying numerous ways to get Flaky back to normal while Petunia removed the clothing. They thought that she was going to be this way forever. After hours of searching and finding ways, they seemed to give up. Russell feels very bad and goes over to Flaky and places his head on hers. Then, Petunia remembered something. Sometimes a true love’s kiss would cure things, so maybe if Russell kissed Flaky, she would be cured. Russell was very happy to hear Petunia’s statement and agreed with her. Then, Russell turned Flaky towards him, leaned down and gave her a big kiss on the lips which lasted for several seconds. Everyone stares in awe. Then, Russell rubs his cheek against Flaky’s and gives her the biggest hug ever. Then, Flaky suddenly wakes up and sees everyone looking at her. She suddenly starts talking normal, much to everyone’s happiness. Flaky says that she feels much better, after Russell has cured her. She happily looks at Russell, grabs his hand, and states that he is her hero. Russell laughs and says that she is the most beautiful girl in his life. Then he asks Flaky if they should share a kiss, Flaky agrees. Then, the two share a big kiss as they hold onto each other. Flaky was so happy to be with him on this vacation. Russell felt the same way. Suddenly, Cuddles spots something in the air. They all look up to see who it was. As the thing got closer, everyone gasped to see Splendid in the air. Russell notices this and calls out to him, along with everyone else. Splendid happily flies down. Everyone was very happy to see him. Russell tells him everything that happened. Splendid is shocked and asks if he can do anything to help. Russell says that his ship was in the middle of the ocean. Splendid decides to bring the ship here, so they could all travel on it to go back home. Everyone loved the sound of that. Splendid flies off to get Russell’s ship. They were all finally leaving this place. Then, Russell suddenly gasped. He remembered that Lumpy left the ship to get help. Everyone realized that he was right. They needed to find him.

Later after everyone was preparing for the big leave, Giggles spots a trail of blood coming from the water. It turns out it was a tiger carrying a dead body. And not just any dead body. It was Lumpy! Everyone gasps and screams in shock. It turns out that the tiger had found him and killed him. Russell sobs over the death of Lumpy as everyone watches. Flaky hugs him. Russell hugs Flaky as well and softly tells her that they lost him. Everyone is upset by the loss of Lumpy. Later, Splendid arrives with Russell’s ship. However, he sees everyone sad and asks what has happened. Russell tells him that a tiger killed Lumpy. Splendid feels very bad. They all board the ship while Splendid carries the deceased Lumpy. They all say goodbye to the island as they head off. The tiger meanwhile gets attacked by a shark seen under the water. Russell drives the ship and everyone escapes.

On the water, he asks Flaky to come here. Flaky happily does so. Flaky is so happy that Russell was safe and that he cured him with his romantic kiss. She also felt bad that Lumpy was gone. Russell then breaks the fourth wall by saying “That’s okay. It’s Happy Tree Friends. He will be alive again.” Russell tells Flaky he loves her more than anything. Flaky agrees with him and states the same thing. Flaky then hugs Russell very tight and the two share another kiss. Then, Russell asks his girlfriend if she would like to take a turn of driving the ship. Flaky was a little shy at first, but she felt confident since her boyfriend, Russell was around. She drives the ship and Russell gives her another kiss. The others we’re having fun on the way back too. Splendid was looking at the view, Cuddles and Giggles were romantically flirting on a blanket. They both kiss each other, then lay down. Petunia and Toothy were having more smoothies. Then, while driving, Flaky turns to Russell and says, “I love you my future husband!” Russell blushes and says, “I love you too, my future wife.” Then, they hold on to each other, share another kiss on the lips and the special draws to a close.
