A/N: I decided I'm gonna finish this story before updating "Wisdom Comes from the Heart" because in the next chapter of that, it related a little to the end of this story, kay? :)

And, this chapter's a little predictable... lol xD

--

Mime quickly dashed forward and caught Mint before she hit the ground. Mint wasn't heavy, not at all, but falling from 25 feet in the air had a lot of force, so when Mime caught her, he fell to his knees from the force of Mint's fall.

The first thing Mime noticed was she was ice-cold. He looked up at the Sorcerer, who scowled at him. Mime scowled right back.

"You didn't know I filled that orb that had just broken with her feelings and memories, did you? HA! I knew you'd come here, so I made sure she'd be willing to kill you, but unfortunately, getting rid of all her memories would have destroyed her completely. Unfortunately, I didn't know you would make her break it." he smirked. "Maybe it's better this way. She may remember certain parts of her life, but you'd have to reteach her a lot of things, and remind her of a whole lot of stuff. She's not dead... yet." he smirked. "Though her life energy is lowering even as we speak. I predict that within an hour, she'll be dead." he laughed. "And you'll never be able to get her out of here in time!"

"Hey, Magic Guy, turn around and you'll get the shock of your life!" Adora's voice rang through. They all suddenly realized that Adora had disappeared. The Sorcerer turned around and saw the arctic fox holding the hand of a young gold-and-white cat.

Soleil...!

Briand stared at the little girl in amazement. Last he saw her, she had been five years old. Now she was 12 years old, just two years younger than Minuit. Soleil stared at them all fearfully. The she looked around.

"W-where is Minuit? A-A-Adora s-said she was h-here...!"

Cuddles pointed to where Mint and Mime were. Mime was shaking her slightly, a fearful look in his eye.

"M-Minuit? T-that's not Minuit though...!"

"It is. The Sorcerer changed her." Adora looked at young Soleil. "You're a sorceress, right?" Soleil nodded.

"T-the Sorcerer has been training me, too, but he has to use Aunt Papillon's old book b-because I can't cast any s-s-spells from his book, b-because they're d-dark magic..."

"Well, do you by chance know how to teleport?"

"Y-yes... That's one I've learned, but he f-f-forbids me from using that spell."

"Well, your sister's life depends on that spell. Do you think you can cast it?"

"Y-yes! I-if Minuit's life depends on it, of course!"

"NO!" the Sorcerer shouted, coming forward and pointing his staff at Soleil. "That spell is forbidden for you! If you even attempt it, I will kill you all!"

Cuddles jumped forward and knocked the staff from his hands. The staff's orb also shattered, and black mist also rose from it. "Can't cast any spells without a staff, can ya?!"

"My staff! You little cretin!" He turned to Cuddles angrily, trying to hide the fact he was totally defenseless.

Soleil pulled her own staff out of nowhere. The actual staff part was pure white, and the orb was clear, with a gold gas-like substance in the center.

"STOP!" The Sorcerer yelled. Soleil nearly dropped her staff from the unexpected shout, but quickly regained her grip on it and glanced around. "I-I need to know your names so this will work..."

They all introduced themselves(Cuddles introducing Mime) quickly so she'd know what to do. Then Petunia suddenly said "And take us to Happy Tree Town!"

She took a deep breath and starting speaking in a language none of them except the Sorcerer understood.

Then there was a bright light and they all quickly closed their eyes, so as not to be blinded.

When they opened their eyes, they were in the center of a town they recognized very well(except Briand and Adora).

"We're back!" Cuddles yelled with relief. Just as he yelled this, a frisbee flew by and cut his head off.

Giggles stared in horror, then laughed slightly and nervously. "Yep, we're back alright."

Soleil screamed in fear and clung to Briand's leg. "W-WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"

Adora suddenly fainted as blood splashed on her nice clean white fur.

"I don't kno-" Just then, a huge block of ice fell from the sky, instantly killing them all.

--At a Hospital--

Adora opened her eyes and saw Cuddles standing over her, smiling brightly. "Yea, takes a while for people who just now arrived in this town to come back." he said with a laugh. "We were gone so long, it actually took us a pretty good while as well."

Adora screamed. "NO WAY! I SAW YOU DIE! YOU'RE DEAD HOW CAN THIS BE?! ... Where am I?"

"You're in the Happy Tree Town hospital." Adora looked over at Giggles. "Most people in this town come here at least once a day." she stated this as she pointed to two green raccoons, who were halfway gone. "They're still reviving. They feel the pain next. When they wake up, anyway." she laughed slightly. "Some are afraid to die here, even though they know they'll come back. But the thrill of being afraid of dying is what makes it fun!"

"Dying is considered a game here???" Adora asked, surprised.

"Yep." Cuddles answered before Giggles could. "Why not since it's impossible to die forever here?"

--Later that Day--

"Welcome to Happy Tree Town!" The Happy Tree Towners chorused(except Mime and Mint).

Adora, Briand, and Soleil all looked around, genuinely interested in their surroundings. Never dying sounded like a pretty good deal.

They were introduced to everyone, and they experienced the wrath of Flipped-Out Flippy. Soleil had been hung during that, Briand skinned, Adora stabbed many different times, Mime had been sliced in half, Mint(who had fully recovered, but still had some lost memories) was decapitated, Shifty and Lifty(who were also fully healed) were both burned by a flame thrower, Petunia had fallen into a pit of very poisonous snakes, Giggles had been speared right in the heart, Cuddles had been exploded by a grenade, Lumpy was crushed by a huge rock that Flippy did not cause the falling of which means he caused it himself in his fear, Pop and Cub were torn to pieces, Cro-Marmot was not there to begin with, Toothy was chopped into many pieces, The Mole had fallen into a pit full of spikes, Disco Bear was hit with a disco ball and killed when it shattered, Flaky had actually lived, Russell was gutted, Nutty was choked, Handy was drowned in a lake, and Sniffles had his snout/trunk/whatever it is torn off then was speared in the face, which made it through his brain and out the other side of his head.

-A Few Days Later-

"Everything's back to normal now." Cuddles said while drinking some soda pop. He laughed slightly as he watched Adora running away from killer-dogs(the same ones from Doggone It).

Mint nodded her agreement. Her arm was in a sling because she'd been attacked by one of those killer-ducks(the ones from Mime to Five) earlier that day. She was leaning against a tree, where Splendid was eating some nuts. Mime was sitting next to her. He yawned slightly, then ducked as a knife went right for his head. Mint jumped a little and glanced over and saw the Mole and Russell tossing knives as a game. Mime shook his fist at them, and Mint couldn't help but laugh inaudible.

"Yar, sorry there, matey!" Russell yelled.

Mint glanced back at Mime and saw him looking at her. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

Life wasn't so bad.

--The End--

Told you it was short. MAYBE I'll do a sequel, I dunno yet. What do y'all think? :) And yes, the fact that Babette hasn't returned is the whole thing that makes the possibility of a sequel. XD

Hope you liked, though this chapter is pretty boring. -.-
