So I have to make this quick. Classes start early tomorrow so I'll try to complete this in one night, I just hope I can make this good.

Petunia walked to the roller coaster ride with Nutty, Mime, Flippy, Flaky and Cuddles. Its been months since she last imposed herself to be Handy's girlfriend. Everytime she saw Handy, she either ignored him or avoided him. While its true Handy was a good boyfriend despite his... inabilities, it was kind of awkward to reconnect their past relationship together. Handy was the one to always help someone out, she found it a little bit petty to continue their relationship. She figured if she tried to get back with him, he would see her as a shallow bitch after the months that had passed. He was one of the hardest workers of happy tree town and he never had a problem with being single before so why would it after having one with her? She was nothing special and he probably doesn't like her after months of seperation. But she can't help but feel a little bit of guilt for the hard working beaver. She found their relationship starting to stale, she realized that she only became desperate, fearing her amputation would be permanent.

"Hey, are the rides closed or what?" she heard Nutty say as he waved his money for tickets in front of Lumpy who seemed to have been daydreaming in the ticket booth of the roller coaster. The ride was almost a routine for the tree friends, whether it be manning the rides themselves or being a customer. As the coaster came to the top, she can't help but see the beaver from far up high of the summit of the roller coaster ride, a solid reminder of how guilty she felt towards the orange semi-aquatic mammal. Nobody ever dated her before, except for Disco Bear who nobody finds any appeal for. She feels like she still owes him for keeping her company in her greatest time of need. She remembered how she never considered hiring him for practical jobs he was good at but feared that he would lash out at her. Handy? Lashing out at her? How could she assume something bad as she felt the winds slicing her face as the coaster came to fast spirals and descents that could make Nutty probably throw up.

When the ride ended all he could think about was Handy as Cuddles for some reason left the group to find the bathroom. Nutty begged the group to go to the cotton candy stand manned by Cro-Marmot who gave them cotton candies of varying colors. She remembered a particular memory of Handy and her eating a cotton candy once, "Damn it Petunia, stop reminiscing over dead relationships" she thought to herself as she noticed that her cotton candy was gone and any remnants of it was already consumed by the lime green squirrel. None of her friends had seemed to notice but she let it go, she wasn't in the mood for sweets anyway. Cuddles returned soon after, claiming to have gotten a bit lost.

Nutty, followed by Mime raced toward the Ferris Wheel, manned by none other than Handy. She saw Handy and kept calm, turning back to her tactic of ignoring him. Handy gave some precautions on having only a pair of tree friends on each seat. Flippy and Flaky paired with each other, followed by Mime and Nutty, and finally Petunia and Cuddles. Petunia found it hard not to lock eyes with her ex-boyfriend as Flippy perked up and said "Petunia, is it alright for you to go with Cuddles?" said Flippy excited to get some alone time with Flaky. "Yeah yeah, its not like we're getting married or anything" she insensitively says, too focused on looking away from her ex.

Petunia breathed a sigh of relief as she looked outward towards the view the ride gave. She was considering facing up to her fears and confront Handy when Cuddlles interrupted her train of thought. "Hey Petunia?" said Cuddles. "Yeah?" replied Petunia. "Does Lumpy hate us?" asked Cuddles. This surprised Petunia, she did not know where this was coming from. "Why would Lumpy hate us?" quipped Petunia as she wondered why Cuddles would ask that. "He doesn't hang out with us anymore and he seems to be avoiding us. What if we're just holding him back and he found a calling during his time in college." cried the tearful rabbit. "Cuddles, Lumpy left for college for us and this town in the first place, he will never abandon us and remember it." comforted Petunia. Cuddles buried his face in his hands as he sobbed. Petunia hugged the yellow rabbit in an attempt to calm him down. After getting Cuddles to stop crying, their seats were next to stop, as she attempted to leave, she was stopped by Cuddles who begged her not to tell anybody about the conversation. "My lips are sealed" she smiled and said, as she got off with Cuddles.

She was about to leave with her other friends when she remembered Handy, she turned back to try to finally talk to him only to find that the booth in particular was empty. She searched for him, figuring that he might have taken a short break but was surprised to find one of the raccoon twins enter the booth and man the ferris wheel. "Uh, Shifty" Petunia tried to get his attention. Shifty lifted the newspaper he was holding and peeked to the side "Yes toots?" as he stared at her with a disinterested expression. "Where'd Handy go? He was just in charge of the ferris wheel a few minutes ago" asked Petunia. "He wanted to leave early, boss said he was sick or something" came the nonchalant reply of Shifty before covering his face with a newspaper. "Oh..." said the disappointed skunk before leaving.

After hanging out with Flippy and the gang some more, she figured to leave and visit Handy so she can get it over with. She got Flippy to drop her down near Handy's house, she didn't want to make it too obvious she came for Handy. After saying goodbye to Flippy she worked up the courage to ring the doorbell to Handy's house "Handy, i-its me, Petunia. I want to talk to you." but nobody answered. "I'm sorry if I ignored you these past few months, but please just talk to me. I know you might be mad but its not your fault." She noticed that the door wasn't even locked after a few seconds and let herself in. She heard a rapid thrashing and splashing coming from the bathroom which slowly grew weaker and weaker. She was prepared for Handy to hate her, for him to scream at her and tell her to never to talk to him again, but she was not prepared to see the body of Handy's drowning form in the bathtub of his own house.

If you want to add some context to Cuddles' problem, read chapter 6 of my Happy Tree Friends Oneshots. Other than that, what do you think of adding Petunia's POV? Should I remove it or should I continue?
