It had been a 3 weeks since Handy had proposed to Petunia, they told everyone about their wedding and even Lumpy had agreed to be their priest in consummating their marriage. Handy and Petunia had scheduled their wedding, which was within a few days from now.

Handy and Petunia had just woken up when their attention was caught by the ringing of the phone downstairs, Petunia picked the phone up, who Handy had followed. They agreed that whoever or whatever the matter was about, both would know who was actually calling and what it was about.

"Hello?" answered Petunia. "Petunia, its me Sniffles. The "gift" I mentioned is ready about now. Bring Handy with you" told Sniffles. "Can't you just give it to us some other time after the wedding? Its within a few days now." Informed Petunia. "That's just it Petunia, this can help you with your wedding in the first place, how do you suppose you and Handy would get married if he doesn't have any hands?."

How can this "gift" help them in their wedding? "Fine but what is this gift you keep mentioning?" asked Petunia. "It's a surprise, not just for Handy but for other people around the world. This might just be the one thing that might make the world give some publicity to this town, but it's a prototype, that's all I'm going to tell you." Said Sniffles. "Okay, I guess we'll see you soon"

Petunia was nudged by Handy, which then reminded her of what he wanted her to say to Sniffles "Oh and Sniffles" said Petunia. "Yes" replied Sniffles. "He knows everything now" said Petunia.

"What really?" said the surprised anteater. Petunia put the phone to Handy's ear and he said "Yes Sniffles, I know. I swear if I had hands I'd punch you right now..." Sniffles started feeling a bit guilty since he was the mastermind on the whole plan "But, I guess I do owe you for making my life better." Said Handy. Sniffles expression eased from the tension a bit and smiled knowing his plan went well in the end. "G-glad to hear it, just show up with Petunia at my house today, I have something to give you. I'll see you around"

And with that, the two tree friends had put down the phones and agreed to meet up with each other. "What is this gift that Sniffles keeps mentioning? Can't he just give it to us on our wedding?" asked Handy. "No idea, but he kept insisting that you would need it on our wedding, we'll just have to find out" said Petunia.

The both of them had gone to Sniffles' house immediately after the call. Petunia rang the doorbell, both of them waited for Sniffles which took him quite a while to answer. Sniffles' voice had rang around the house saying "Is Handy here?" which Petunia and Handy replied with a yes. "Handy, can you take a step back?" which prompted a confused Handy to do so. "A little more" said Sniffles. Handy moved back a bit which then got a "perfect" from Sniffles.

A small turret-like machine had suddenly appeared form above the door, shooting a tranquilizer dart, narrowly missing Petunia's ear which hit Handy in the shoulder. Handy, having been caught off guard, stumbled onto his back while Petunia caught him. "I-I feel sleepy" said Handy as he lost consciousness, followed by the front door finally opening, Sniffles coming out casually who started to drag Handy's unconscious body from Petunia's hands into the house. "W-what're you doing Sniffles?" said Petunia, a bit fearful of her friend. "Dragging. Ugh. Handy's. Body." Said Sniffles struggling to drag the unconscious beaver. "Yes, I know that. But why did you shoot him!" shouted Petunia.

Sniffles stopped dragging Handy and said "Because this procedure needs him to be as calm as possible, and nothing is calmer than being unconscious. Now, are you going to, ungh, help me or what?" said Sniffles who resumed dragging Handy again. Petunia was reluctant to help the mad scientist, but ultimately agreed to help him. Sniffles pulled a bookcase in his living room, where a secret elevator was located which led to his lab, as soon as they had reached the lab, Sniffles placed him on an operating table, strapping his legs and shoulders in place.

"I'm going to need some privacy for this Petunia, so if you could refrain from making any noise, that would be greatly appreciated." Said Sniffles, closing the curtains around him and Handy, leaving Petunia to watch Sniffles' Silhouette do who knows whatever sick experiments to Handy's body. Petunia tried to reassure herself that whatever Sniffles had in mind for him, it wouldn't be bad right?

Petunia looked around, she saw jars containing body parts. Mainly limbs and feet, even Russel's hook and legs were on display like a trophies. Petunia started thinking dark thoughts of what Sniffles is actually doing, she looked back at the curtains to find Sniffles holding what seems to be Handy's intestines which caused her to faint.

"No, this won't do" said Sniffles as he tossed the cable wires away, throwing them away so he could try to perform the operation without any accidents. "There, now I can get started" he said, grabbing a box of screws and surgical equipment.

A few hours had passed and Petunia woke up, being shook by Sniffles. "I've done it! Petunia I've done it!" exclaimed Sniffles. "What?" said Petunia, confused by what he was shaking her for, then she remembered what she saw, "You bastard! How could you kill Handy! Why?!" she said while she started hitting his chest which then left the scientist immediately tried to shield himself from the assault of the angry skunk. "Wait what?! Ah, h-hey, stop! Handy's fine." He tried to explain.

While Petunia and Sniffles were arguing with each other, Handy had started waking up, still feeling woozy from the anesthesia, "*Yawn*, Petunia, I had a weird dream that we went to Sniffles' house and I-" Handy tried to move, only to find that he can't. "As he struggled to get out of the table, he saw something metallic alongside his arms, and found that what had been non-existent in the past, was now a synthetic arm screwed to his arms, he screamed in fear of what was attached to him.

Petunia had stopped beating Sniffles up with her hands and immediately opened the curtains to see Handy shouting in fear, trying to get out of his bonds as his arms flailed wildly, not knowing how to control it. Sniffles grabbed his arms, pinning them down and tried to calm him down. "Handy, calm down, everything's going to be fine" said Sniffles. "W-what is that attached to me!?" said Handy, trying to make sense of things.

"Relax, I gave you some new arms" Handy stopped struggling and processed what he just heard. "New arms?" he said, he looked down and saw that his arms had stopped flopping as soon as he calmed down, Sniffles had started removing the straps, Handy sat up, not taking his eyes off of his new hands. Petunia was astonished by the recent discovery, how did Sniffles actually make something like this. "I, I have hands... I can feel them" said Handy, tears pouring in his eyes as he thought that there might be a chance to be like everyone else. "You'll have to come back tomorrow, we'll discuss how we can make your hands less... robot-like, to compliment your biological make-up. This could sell for millions around the world if this manages to get us noticed, soon I might even make both hands and feet for Russel."

"H-how'd you do this Sniffles?" asked Petunia. "Years of research Petunia. Years of research, you may have noticed that certain body parts of our friends have been kept in my lab. I used these to experiment on making synthetic parts to simulate the actual sense of touch." Sniffles pushed the two of them on two chairs in front of a desk and pushed a button which then three whole blackboards worth of a lecture had descended in front of them.

Sniffles walked to the leftmost board and said "You see, the skin are the receptors, if you connect it to the..." Sniffles went on while Petunia and Handy had slammed both of their heads on each of their desks. If the operation didn't kill Handy, Sniffles' lecture will bore them both till they die, as Sniffles continued to drone on about his discovery, paying the both of them no mind.
