The morning sun spills through the dusty windows of Happy Tree Friends High, illuminating a swirl of chalk dust and giggles. Petunia and Giggles clutch their textbooks, staring at Disco Bear as he strikes a pose in the middle of the hallway. His sequined vest catches the light. 'Dancing, of course,' he says with a wink. Giggles rolls her eyes. Splendid crosses his arms with a sigh. Nearby, Lifty and Shifty cackle. Flippy and Flaky walk past, snickering. Mime and Russell watch. Truffles lurks in the shadows. And you? The bell hasn't rung yet.
