Chapter 61: One Year Later, Changed Times Yet Again

Let's take a look at the year that has passed for the critters in Crittopia after The Hour Of Joy ceased to exist and everything returned to normal.

First there was KickinChicken and Hoppy Hopscotch getting back together. They were looking to fix their relationship by trying to be better for one another.

“So you know the drill?” Hoppy asked KickinChicken while the two were in Hoppy’s house,

“Yes, I know the drill…” KickinChicken replied, “No more manipulation.”

“Uh-huh, and no more shitting on your friends.”

“What else?”

“...I don't know. Do you have anything?”

“...No, not at all.”

“...This is gonna be harder than we thought.”

“Beats me, but I'm sure the two of us will get through it together. Right?”

“Right.”

The two then hurdle together on the couch while sitting and laying on opposite sides of the couch.

“...So… What now?” KickinChicken wondered,

“Wanna watch some TV?” Hoppy wondered, “It's gonna be a long road to recovery.”

“I guess, sure.”

Holden Howler was on the phone with someone.

“Oh, don't worry, my brother is doing just fine now!” He said, “It's gonna take a while for him to get back out there while keeping the secret of him being a Dark Critter locked tight.”

Holden then bumped into someone and dropped his phone.

“Oww!” He said while rubbing his head, “Sorry!”

“Damn, watch where you're going!” A critter said as he picked up Holden's phone off the ground and gave it to him, “Here, I'm off to my home and taking a long ass nap.”

The critter walked away as Holden sighed.

“This guy is in a cranky mood.” He said, “I don't blame him.”

Holden then looked at his phone as it was cracked on one corner.

“Damn.” He said, “Oh well, it is what it is. I'll stick with it until the next line of phones get released.”

Holden then noticed that the call was still going and gasped.

“Oh, sorry!” He said while back on the phone with someone, “I had a little accident and I dropped my phone! It didn't break all the way!”

Later one night, Bobby and PickyPiggy were on a date together near a balcony of a fancy restaurant. A candle was lit up in the middle of the table as Bobby was in a lovey-dovey mood as she and PickyPiggy were looking at each other.

“Picky…” Bobby said, “I love you, to the moon and back.”

PickyPiggy giggled.

“I love ya too, Bobby.” She said, “I love ya so much, ya make me wanna shout it from the rooftops.”

“Is that even possible?” Bobby wondered,

“Heh, I might as well try.”

“Woah, are you that type of girl?”

“...Uhhhhh…”
