Another day in Gardenview, another day the Shrimpos bully a toon.

“Hey, give it back!” Toodles shouts, tears in the young girl’s eyes as she jumps off the Christmas-decorated ground, trying to reach the dog plush being tossed back and forth above her head.

“No way, you tiny eight ball!” Shrimpa says as she tosses the plush to Shrimplush. “I hate your stupid little baby bod, kid! I’ll NEVER pass up the opportunity to make you suffer!”

“GIVE IT BAAAACK!” Toodles whines, plopping on the Christmas-y-looking floor, huffing, tears dripping from her eyes and she speaks, her voice undsteady; “You guys are so mean!”

“I HATE WHINERS!” Shrimplush yells as he tosses the plush to Shrimpa, his voice echoing enough that even the floor 2’s twisteds had to have heard. “I HATE YOU WHINING! I HATE IT AND I HATE YOU AND I HATE YOUR STUPID DOG PLUSH!”

To that deafening assault on the ears, Toodles bawls louder. Hearing Toodles’s bawling and Shrimplush’s shouting, Noodles comes into the lobby. His tall, lanky physique towering over the Shrimpos. “Yo Shrimpa and Shrimplush, quit bullying Toodles.”

Shrimpa laughs. “Make me, you tall-as-hell, lanky-as-crap, MOTHERF-!” The intercom cuts her off, Dandy’s oddly gleeful voice ringing out through the sound system;

“Shrimpos, come to the lobby center for a run.” Behind her, Shrimpa can hear knuckles cracking.

“You wanna go there willingly,” Noodles said, evidently ticked, “or do I needa make you two?”

“I HATE YOU!” Shrimplush screeches as he’s dragged off to the elevator by Coal.

“I HATE YOU!” Shrimpa yells as she walks away from Noodles, ticked more than usual.

"Mhm, I know," Noodles says as he scoops up Toodles and comforts her like an older brother should.
