Intro

Mr. Wolf: Yeah! I'm bad!

Mr. Snake: You're bad!

Ms. Tarantula: He's bad!

Mr. Hornet: She's bad!

Mr. Piranha: We're bad!

Mr. Shark: Who's bad?

The Bad Guys: Yeah!
We're the Bad Guys!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At night, under the bridge of the 6th Street Viaduct, the Bad Guys' car drove into the tunnel where Wolf was driving the car, and Hornet sat on the front seat with his tiny little chair.

"Wolf, you really didn't have to come and get me," Hornet told him.

"You mean, I should've just let you fly home in your pajamas at 2:55 am?" Wolf chuckled.

"No, that would have been dangerous," Hornet answered, "I could've taken the cab."

"Or you could've just stayed at Mira's party until morning," the Bad Guy leader suggested while keep driving towards the elevator.

"That seems kind of crazy, doesn't it? To stay there all night?"

"It's called a sleepover, bug! The terms of the arrangement are right there in the name."

When the car drove inside the elevator, the doors closed, and Wolf and Hornet's conversation continued.

"How am I supposed to sleep over if I can't sleep?" Hornet inquired.

"What was the problem? Bad dreams? Bad vegetarian meals?" Wolf mentioned, wanting to know Hornet's issue with sleeping.

"No... I missed Carrie," the insect answered.

"Carrie the swan?" Wolf recalled Hornet's stuffed animal.

Hornet corrected sarcastically, "No, Carrie the firefighter. Of course, Carrie the swan! She's my bedtime buddy."

When the elevator reached the Bad Guys' hideout, Wolf and Hornet stepped out of the car, and stepped out of the elevator.

"You need to face it. You have a problem. You are a swan-holic," Wolf told him

But Hornet denied that fact, "I am not. Now I'm going upstairs, but that has nothing to do with the fact that Carrie is waiting for me on my bed."

Hornet just stayed there in front of Wolf until he rushed forward, heading to his bedroom, and shut the door.

Wolf rolled his eyes, and mumbled, "I should've just let him take the cab."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, the Bad Guys were eating breakfast, and Hornet came to join them a little late with a lump at the back of his shirt.

Wolf noticed him, and approached the little flying bug, "Hornet... I think we should talk about the swan problem."

"What problem? There's no problem," Hornet scoffed with a high-pitched voice.

Wolf made Hornet turn around with just his fingers, and found the lump at the back of Hornet's shirt, "I think there might be. You can't sleep without Carrie. And now, she's a stowaway in your shirt," luckily, the stuffed swan was under Hornet's wings, preventing from being damaged.

Hornet then admitted, and hugged Carrie, "Okay, last night was kind of rough. So, of course, I need some extra Carrie-time."

"I checked out this great website and I think it could help," Wolf said.

"What did the website say?" Hornet asked fearfully.

"That the best way to overcome separation anxiety is to start small. How about giving Carrie up for a week?"

"No way! Two hours."

"Three days."

"An hour!"

"Two days."

"Half an hour!"

"Yeah, I don't think you're getting the hang of this," Wolf cringed, making Hornet shrug, "Here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to keep Carrie until tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow night? I'll never make it!" Hornet exclaimed, squeezing the swan tightly.

"That is pathetic. It's just a stuffed animal!" Piranha scoffed.

Hornet flew towards Piranha, and pointed, "Oh, yeah? And, uh, what's Feathery the flamingo?"

"Hey, I'm young, and a short little guy! On me, it's cute," Piranha defended himself.

Hornet held his stuffed swan tightly, and flew off.

Wolf noticed him, and reminded, "Uh, Hornet?"

Hornet turned around, and smiled casually, "Yeah?"

"You gonna leave the bird?"

"Of course."

Hornet handed the stuffed bird to Wolf. When Wolf grabbed the swan, Hornet still held on to his toy. It became a tug-o-war between Wolf and Hornet with the swan as Wolf tried to take it away from Hornet, and the latter still held on to his toy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later at night, Wolf was fixing the couch, and placed a blue pillow for Hornet to sleep on it. He even had a handkerchief as Hornet's blanket.

Hornet lay on the soft pillow with a handkerchief covering his body, "Wolf, we don't need to do this. I can sleep in my room."

"Look, the website says if you want to break a habit, it's good to get out of the environment that triggers it," Wolf explained.

"So, I'm never going back to my room?" Hornet asked.

"Sure you are. As soon as you get used to sleeping without Carrie," Wolf clarified.

"So, I'm never going back to my room."

Wolf just had enough of Hornet clarifying him all the time as he proceeded to fix Hornet's new bed.

In the middle of the night, Hornet was squirming and whimpering on his pillow as he dreamt of his favorite stuffed animal.

"Carrie... Where are you?" He whispered softly.

Hornet then snapped awake and gasped, panting heavily from his sleep. The next thing he knew, right beside him, on top of the backrest, there were dozens of stuffed swans, making him yelp at the sight of many Carrie swans, "Aah!"

Then, Giant Carrie, played by Shark, waddled in front of Hornet, and cried, "You said we'd be together forever!"

"It's not my fault, Wolf took you!" Hornet said, extending his arm to Carrie.

"Hoooooorrneeeeeeeet!" "Giant Carrie" was dragged back into the darkness, extending her wing trying to reach for her "best friend."

"Carriiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!" Hornet screamed, watching Carrie being dragged into the dark.

Hornet woke from a terrible nightmare, gasping and panting heavily. He looked around, and saw no more Carrie swans or Giant Carrie. It was all a dream. But this was more than a dream. Hornet thought about his nightmare, and made him think that he couldn't live without his favorite stuffed animal. But this was for his own good that he can't just have Carrie forever every night.

Hornet exhaled, and said to himself, "Okay, I can do this, I can do this..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing he knew, Hornet was knocking and yelling in front of Wolf's bedroom door, "I can't do this!" After several knicks, Wolf, in his pajamas, opened the door tiredly, and found Hornet, "Carrie, daddy's here! Hang on, buddy!"

When Hornet attempted to get inside Wolf's room, Wolf pushed him backward, and explained, "Hornet, I can't give you Carrie. I hate doing this, but it's for your own good."

"I can't quit you, Carrie!" Hornet yelled, calling for his swan.

The other Bad Guys woke up from their sleep because of the loud noises as they came out outside of their bedrooms tiredly.

Tarantula then yelled at Hornet, "You woke me up! And I'm too tired to make another cup of warm milk with tiny mayflies floating on top."

Shark then added, also as disappointed as Tarantula, "You interrupted my dream about a dress store owned and operated by 18 Years Till Gone! Mania was about to size my body!"

Snake slithered out of his vault room angrily, "I've got my noise machine set to whale song extra loud, and I can still hear you, people!"

"Huh. I wonder if whales listen to the sounds of you complaining to get to sleep?" Wolf snickered jokingly.

"Just keep quiet," Snake requested before slithering back to his room

"This is torture!" Hornet complained as he flew back to the couch.

"Not just for you!" Piranha yelled as he marched back to his room. The rest of the Bad Guys were heading back to their respective rooms and going to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, which was now the afternoon, Wolf put down the goblets on the table, and checked on his phone.

Then, Hornet approached him, stretching his arms and fake yawning, "Boy, am I beat. Time for bed!"

"It's 3:00 in the afternoon," Wolf deadpanned.

Hornet scratched his head, pretending he didn't know what time it was, "Is it?"

Wolf smiled at Hornet's ridiculous "trick", "Nice try, but you don't get Carrie back for six more hours."

"Please! I just want to make sure she's okay," Hornet pleaded.

"Hornet, we made a deal. And you've been doing really well. Except for ransacking my room, looking for Carrie."

"I wasn't looking for Carrie! I was looking for a book to read."

"Hornet, you have lots of books than mine. In fact, I don't own a book."

"I just want to know if Carrie's all right," Hornet said worryingly.

"Hornet, she is absolutely 100% perfectly fine," Wolf reassured the little insect confidently.

Hoping he could trust Wolf of looking after Carrie, Hornet nodded, and decided to live for work at FasTogether. It was his shift after all.

When Hornet left, Snake and Tarantula approached Wolf very quickly with Tarantula hiding something behind her back.

"Hey, Wolfie, we have a slight issue," Tarantula grinned nervously before pulling out Carrie the swan, covered in slime and a little soaked.

Wolf gasped as he was supposed to grab the swan with his hand, only to touch a very sticky and disgustingly slime all over it, "What... Is this?"

"Snake drool," Snake and Tarantula answered.

"Oh! That is the second most disgusting thing I have ever touched!" Wolf gagged before noticing the questioning looks on Snake and Tarantula's faces, wondering what was the first most disgusting thing for Wolf. He knew what those faces meant, so he answered, "Don't ask."

"I'm sorry, Wolf, but why did you give me the swan in the first place? You know how I am. I eat small birds too! I even thought Carrie was a real swan!" Snake said.

"Because I knew Hornet would go through my room," Wolf replied, "I never thought you would try to eat Carrie!"

"Really? Have you seen my stuffed animal collection?" Snake asked.

"You don't have one."

"Exactly!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Wolf decided to wash Carrie in a washing machine to remove that disgusting snake spit all over it. While waiting for the time to get Carrie out of the washing machine, Wolf was watching a police pursuit on TV. He was disappointed that it was not him in that chased car.

Just then, Shark approached him with a laundry basket, "Hey, Wolf, I've got a riddle for you."

"Oh, I love riddles!" Wolf turned off the TV to listen to Shark's riddle.

"What's pink and fluffy and could scar a bug for life?"

"No idea."

Shark turned his laughing smile to a panic expression as he pulled out Carrie the swan from the laundry basket, and now she was pink.

Wolf gasped as he touched the now pink swan, "Why did you turn Carrie pink?"

"Why did you put a swan in with my new red T-shirt?" Shark asked while showing his red shirt.

"You didn't tell me you were doing a red load!" the leader scolded.

"You didn't tell me you were doing a swan load!" the master of disguise exclaimed.

Wolf grabbed Carrie from Shark, and looked terrified while staring at the little pink swan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later in the evening, when he came back from work, Hornet excitedly flew from the window, and reminded Wolf, who was sitting on the couch with Piranha watching TV.

"It's Carrie-time! Give me that bird!" Hornet demanded eagerly.

"Carrie's at the window. I gave her a little bath," Wolf said.

Hornet turned around to see Carrie clipped under the clothesline, "Oh, there's my girl!" He turned to Wolf, and asked, "How come you didn't put her in the dryer?"

"Oh, her label said not to," Wolf replied.

"It also says she's recommended for ages two to six," Piraha teased.

"I'm five in human years," Hornet reminded

"You're 21 in hornet years," the little fish smirked.

Hornet rolled his eyes, ignoring his friend, and flew towards Carrie while Piranha headed to the kitchen.

"Oh, allow me to un-clip Carrie," Wolf unclipped the swan from the clothesline, "Hornet, I'm so proud of you. You know, I always knew you could..." Before he could finish, he suddenly slipped, accidentally dropping Carrie through the window.

"No! Carriiiiieeeeee!" Hornet screamed as he flew through the window to retrieve her swan.

Wolf then rushed back inside, called the rest of the team, and took the elevator to meet Hornet below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wolf and Hornet were waiting for their friends to find Carrie at the bridge, hoping she landed safely from the fall.

"Oh... Carrie is such a tough little lady. I really hope she survived the fall," Hornet hoped worryingly.

"I think she did survive the fall..." Wolf said before discovering what happened to Carrie.

"But not getting skewered by this old taxi antenna," Snake said while holding the body of the stuffed swan on a broken taxi antenna as Hornet squeaked sadly, holding the body of his swan.

"Or being squished by that garbage truck," Webs added, holding the swan's head as Hornet whimpered even more.

"Or getting trampled by pedestrians," Shark held up Carrie's two swan feet, making Hornet squeal worryingly and also sadly.

"Or getting her feather tail chewed off by an eagle," Piranha finished, holding the "tail feather" of the swan.

Hornet grabbed the last piece of his stuffed swan, leading to a small sob.

"Somehow I feel like this is all my fault," Wolf admitted in guilt

"That's because it is!" Hornet yelled angrily at him.

"Not the chewed tail feather. That's clearly on the eagle," Wolf corrected, blaming the tail feather on the eagle.

"Hornet, my condolences," Shark said as he handed a shopping bag to him, "I got an extra shopping bag to put the parts in."

"You went shopping at a time like this?!" Hornet scoffed.

"Shopping is for the living," Shark said as Hornet got irritated by Shark being a shopaholic, but he put Carrie's parts into the bag anyway.

Tarantula then rolled her eyes, and looked down at the shopping bag, "Nothing like a little stuffing, needles, and threads wouldn't do. I can save this swan!"

"You can?" The other Bad Guys asked surprisingly in unison.

Tarantula nodded, "Yes! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go put on my surgery uniform when we get home!"

The Bad Guys agreed as they decided to head back to their hideout before someone else might see them or their hideout would be located.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the Bad Guys' hideout, Tarantula was in her room wearing her surgery uniform with a face mask with Shark as her nurse. Carrie was laid down on her bed with a blanket covering her severed body, and a light shined above her. Shark was finishing gently wiping the sweat on Tarantula's head with a tiny tissue.

"Let's start closing the major incisions," Tarantula extended her hand out to Shark, "Embroidery needle. That's the one with..."

Shark already handed the Embroidery needle and white thread to her, "I know. I was embroidering before you came into my life.."

Tarantula rolled her eyes as she started sewing. Then, she stuck his hand out to Shark again, "Safety scissors."

"Safety scissors," Shark handed the safety scissors to her.

"Juice box," she requested.

"Juice box," Shark offered an orange juice box to her with a straw.

Tarantula turned to see the juice was orange flavor, "Not orange. I hate orange!"

"My mistake, Doctor," Shark said before mumbling, "Surgeons, they're such divas,"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the main room of the hideout, Piranha was preparing hot chocolate for himself and the rest of the team as they were waiting on the couch for any updates on Carrie. Hornet was pacing in the air for his favorite stuffed bird.

Piranha arrived with a tray of hot cocoa, and placed it on the table. Piranha was waiting for someone to say something, but they were all silent.

"Oh, you're welcome, it was no trouble at all!" Piranha exclaimed sarcastically, pretending he was being thanked for the hot chocolate.

"Hornet, would you like some hot chocolate?" Wolf asked the bug happily.

But Hornet was still mad at Wolf for dropping Carrie off the building, "Snake, tell Wolf thanks to him, I'm too upset to drink anything."

"I don't want to get involved in this, bug," Snake deadpanned while reading a food magazine.

Wolf exhaled sharply as he stood up to Hornet, "Hornet, please, you've got to tell me. What is it about this swan?"

"I can't talk about it. It's too embarrassing," Hornet said.

"You were flying around with a swan sticking out at the back of your shirt," Piranha pointed, "I think that ship has sailed."

Wolf rolled his eyes as he brought Hornet to the couch so the two of them could sit down, "Hornet... I think you'll feel better if you just explain it to us. No one's going to laugh at you," he then turned to Snake and Piranha, "Right, guys?"

"Right," Snake and Piranha nodded.

"Okay," Hornet took a deep breath, and confessed, "Carrie was the very first thing I ever stole... from a garbage can before coming here. She's always been there for me. Before I met you guys, she was my only family."

"Hornet, we're your family now," Wolf said.

Piranha agreed, "Yeah, you have me, and Webs, and Shark, and Diane, and Mira."

"And me. And Snake, too Right, Snake?" Wolf added before asking Snake, who didn't reply, "Snake?"

Snake was shown to be weeping after hearing Hornet's story, and slithering towards the little bug before hugging him with his tail, "That's the saddest, sweetest story I've ever heard!"

"Hornet, no matter what, we will always be here for you. It's never going to be just you and your swan," Piranha stated.

Hornet smiled and nodded, "Thanks, guys."

The four brought themselves in for a group hug.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An hour later, Hornet was still pacing around in the air, biting his own mitten hands. Snake and Piranha got out of their rooms after resting or cleaning their rooms as they approached Wolf.

"How's Hornet holding up?" Snake asked.

"He's chewed his own hands, and I'm afraid his four legs could be next," Wolf answered.

Tarantula then came out of her room, and announced, "It's done. The operation was a success."

Hornet stared down at Tarantula's uniform, and asked horrifyingly, pointing at a stain, "Then what's that?"

"Juice-box hemorrhage. Occupational hazard," Tarantula responded.

"So, Carrie's okay?" Wolf asked.

"It was touch-and-go for a while. She lost a lot of stuffing, but we were able to save her," Tarantula explained.

Shark came out with Carrie on her "hospital bed". She was attached to an IV bag made out of water bottle, and wore a white bandage around her eyes, and hospital gown fit for her size.

"Thank you, Shark," Hornet told the "nurse" before turning to the real "doctor," "And thank you, too, Webs. You're a miracle worker."

Tarantula smiled confidently, "I have a gift, other than hacking. It would be a sin not to use it."

"Unfortunately, Carrie did lose an eye," Shark declared, "But luckily, a donor came through at the last minute."

When Shark helped Carrie sit up straight, Hornet unwrapped the bandage from her eyes, and revealed it to be a googly eye that came from Piranha's punching bag that he put eyes on it like he was punching an enemy.

"It's not a perfect match, but I thought you should have it. I'm sorry, I teased you about Carrie," Piranha told Hornet.

Hornet was grateful for Piranha's help in donating an eye for Carrie, "Thanks, Piranha. You know, Feathery the flamingo's eye would actually match better..."

"Touch him and you'll be losing another antenna!" Piranha warned.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Wolf was reading a book on his bed in his bedroom. To his surprise, Hornet entered his room while carrying Carrie.

"Wolf, listen, I am really sorry I got so mad at you after Carrie fell. I know all this time you've been trying to help me," Hornet confessed.

"Just doing it as a friend," Wolf grinned.

The insect then confessed, "You know what? I think I can sleep without Carrie now."

The Bad Guy leader was surprised, and inquired, "Really? Do you think finally talking about it made you realize how many people love you, so you don't need Carrie quite as much?"

"Maybe. Or, it could be that he stinks like bleach, and it's burning my nose," Hornet answered.

"Well... it was either that or a hot-pink swan," Wolf chuckled, "Now, let's go find Carrie a new eye. That goggly one is freaking me out!"

Wolf patted Carrie's head before he and Hornet walked off to find Carrie a matchable eye.
