Now this is the chapter where the real fun begins. As always, please send reviews for this story. How else do I know that you like it?

Also, as I was saying before, there's a contest going on between two characters to be the new Happy Tree Friend: Truffles and Lammy and Mr. Pickles. I think that if Lammy is added, I'll write her in my story because she has a 'Johnny 2x4' feel to her.

Declaimer: I do not own HTF or EEE. However, I do own an imagination, which is enough to keep me satisfied.

When they got to Sniffles house, they were faced with the dilemma of where the Eds would sleep. Although Sniffles was becoming friends with them, he wasn't ready to let them sleep in his bedroom. So, as they looked around the house, Sniffles got out two sleeping bags.

"Sorry, I don't have any Ed's size," Sniffles explained while handing Edd and Eddy a bag.

"Ah, that's alright," said Ed, "I'll just sleep on the couch."

After imagining Ed on his couch, Sniffles briefly had an experience of how Petunia was like with her OSD.

"Don't worry," said Double D, looking on the worry on Sniffles face. "I'll make sure he doesn't eat the couch."

Sniffles laughed a little. "You're joking, right?"

Edd didn't answer back, which made Sniffles worry. As he headed up the stairs, he looked back at the Eds.

"Remember," he said, "this is only for tonight. Tomorrow I'll find you a suitable resident in which you can live."

"Right-o, Dumbo," Eddy called back, making Sniffles head up the stairs and into his room.

As he slipped into bed and took off his glasses, he thought about the Eds. While he didn't hate them, he didn't exactly know what to make of them.

I'll find out tomorrow if I consider them friends or not, thought Sniffles, and slowly he drifted of to sleep…

Sniffles woke up at a sound of clashing pans. He hurriedly put on his glasses and got out of bed.

"Must be Lifty and Shifty," Sniffles said out loud. "Waking me up right when I was about to eat the ant in my dream."

As he headed down the stairs, he heard the sounds coming from the kitchen.

"But that other dream…the ones about people named Ed, Edd, and Eddy…well, it was only a dream after all. It's not like it was rea…"

He stopped at the sight of his kitchen. It looked like a tornado had came in the middle of the night and had decided to have a snack. Egg yolks were on the wall, dough was on the floor, and in the middle of it all was…

"Ed, Edd, and Eddy," said Sniffles, half surprised, half angry. Surprised because he thought they weren't real, and angry because that had made a mess.

"Oh, hi'ya Dumbo," said Eddy, holding a frying pan in his hand. "Just cooking up some breakfast."

"How…but…you…" was all Sniffles could say.

"No need to thank us," said Eddy, "just repaying the favor for letting us stay the night."

What did I do to you?! Thought Sniffles as he looked at what the Eds were doing. Ed was throwing out stuff of the refrigerator, saying "Pineapple for eating, milk for drinking, butter for toast,…" and Double D was trying to clean the mess up, saying "Messy, messy, messy". Sniffles thought he was about to explode from anger until a truck stopped outside the house.

"The parts!" said Sniffles and started to run outside before he realized he was still in his PJs. After running upstairs and getting dressed, he ran out the front door. Driving the truck was no other than Lumpy.

"Are you 'Sniffles' the anteater?" Lumpy said while he was checking a clipboard.

"Lumpy, do we have to go through this? I've had a bad morning so far," said Sniffles.

"Sorry, but you know the rules," said Lumpy, "no identification, no parts."

Sniffles sighed. "Okay then: I am Sniffles the anteater."

"Sign on the dotted line," Lumpy said as he held out the clipboard. As Sniffles took it and began to write his name, a crash could be heard in the kitchen.

"They're trying to make me breakfast," explained Sniffles. "…Well, that or they found my Mini-Tornado Maker."

He signed the last of his name and handed it back to Lumpy. After checking it, he found it okay and lifted the back door of the truck, revealing a bunch of large cardboard boxes.

"That's all of the-" Lumpy began to say before another crash interrupted him. Sniffles glanced at the kitchen window with murder in his pac-man eyes.

"I swear I'm going to-" Sniffles said before he realized Lumpy was still there.

"Oh, um, stack the boxes near the garage, please."

As Lumpy began to wheel boxes out, another crash could be heard along with Eddy shouting, "ED!"

Sniffles shook his head.

Today is going to be a looooooooong day…

Because Sniffles couldn't invent with no food feeding his mind, he went to the café. But unfortunately, since Sniffles didn't trust the Eds alone in his home, he brought them along. He sat at a table for four along with the Eds.

"Sorry about the kitchen thi-" Double D began to say before Sniffles glare told him to shut it.

Petunia, in her apron, walked over to their table. "What will it be today?"

"I'll have a burger and fries," said Eddy.

"For breakfast, Eddy?" asked Double D.

"It's not lunch," said Eddy, "its brunch."

"Well," said Double D, "while you chose to digest so many oils, I will simply have a half of a grapefruit."

"Grape…fruit," said Petunia while she wrote this down. "And for the green one?"

Edd and Eddy all ready knew what Ed was going to say, but yet he blurted it out anyway.

"BUTTER TOAST!" Ed said so loudly every person in the café looked at him. Shrugging their shoulders, they turned back to their meals.

"And for you, Sniffles?" asked Petunia.

"Just some bacon," he said, feeling more embarrassed than hungry now. As Petunia brought their food over, the Eds dove right in.

Sniffles watched the Eds rather than eating his own food. Edd, on his left, was carefully prodding the grapefruit. Ed, on his right, had eaten his toast so fast Sniffles wasn't sure it had been there at all. And Eddy, right across from him, was hitting the bottom of the ketchup, trying to make it come out.

"Come on, you stupid thing…" Eddy said as he hit it. It finally got some out, but at the last moment Eddy accidently lifted the ketchup, hitting Sniffles with a direct hit in the chest.

As Sniffles tried to wipe it off with a napkin, he noticed Flippy across the room. The green bear's eyes were staring directly at him. Looking to see what was the problem, Sniffles looked down at his chest…and at the ketchup. Adding two plus two, Sniffles dove beneath the table. Cuddles, who also saw the ketchup and Flippy's stare, dove beneath the table also. Soon everyone had sought cover for the inevitable.

"Hey, what's everyone doing?" asked Eddy, looking around at the people under the table. "What is this, a silent practice for a tornado or what?"

"Um, Eddy…" Ed said.

"What!"

Double D tapped his shoulder and pointed his hand across the room. Turning around, Eddy saw that Flippy was…well, flipping-out.

The veteran's eyes became green and impossibly sharp teeth replaced his cute smile. Laughing mechanically, Flippy looked around for his first victims…and saw the Eds.

Ed, who knew there was trouble afoot, screamed "RUN AWAY!" and he, Edd, and Eddy ran out the door. Flippy took out his Bowie knife had ran after the eds. Soon, everyone at the café, fearing for the Eds safety, ran to find the Eds. So, Disco Bear, Sniffles, Petunia, Lumpy, and Cuddles ran to help the Eds (well, not help really, but to make sure Flippy kill them too terribly.)

They eventually found them at the park. Flippy had them backing up against a large tree (a very large tree). Thought they couldn't bear to watch, the group watched as Flippy advanced on the three very unlucky Eds. Suddenly, something happened. Ed put on a stern face and dug his fingers into the tree bark and started struggling to lift it.

It's hopeless, thought Sniffles. The tree is far to large.

But Ed struggled some more. With a shout, he said, "I am Ed!" and uprooted the tree from the ground. He turned to Flippy.

"Bringer of bacon!" he said as he used the tree as a giant baseball bat and hit Flippy with it. Flippy soared threw the sky until he was a dot, and then until they could see nothing more.

Ed put the tree back in place. "I scored a touchdown, guys!" Ed said.

The group walked towards Ed, Edd, and Eddy, with their jaw dropped as far as it could go.

"You…but…how…tree…Flippy…" was all Sniffles could choke out.

"Cat got your tongue, Dumbo?" Eddy asked.

His anger and an unpleasant memory brought Sniffles vocabulary back.

"How the heck did Ed do that?" Sniffles asked.

"What, the tree thing?" Eddy said.

"Yes, the tree thing!" Sniffles exclaimed. "Nobody could ever have the strength to pull out a tree from its roots and swing it!"

"Well, Ed's really strong," said Eddy. But before Sniffles could say anything, Eddy said, "Come on, we still have half the day left. Meet ya later, Dumbo!" The three Eds than ran out of the park.

Nobody said anything except for Cuddles, who, after getting over the shock, exclaimed, "That was AWSOME!"

It seems Ed still has his strength in this world…I wonder how that will play out.

As I said, the real humor starts in this chapter, so be prepared to laugh in the next chapters that will be.

Reviews will get cookies. Okay, maybe not cookies, but a warm feeling inside.

Also, can anyone name the episode Sniffles remember. Remember, it's about a cat and a tongue…
