E12S1 - Familiar Faces - Child's First Ta-da! - Transcript
Rinny takes his daily trots around the town of Morningville, when he comes across quite the neighborly individual... "Is that my best buddy Shan I see?!" He says out loud, before running up to the individual. "Shan!!" He shouts out of joy, hugging "him"... Before getting shoved off.
"Kid! You behhh-ver heard of manners?!" The individual, clearly not Shan, turned around, pointing a finger at Rinny's chest and chiding the poor zebra.
"Ohh... Sorry, sir... I just thought you were a good friend of mine, Shan Strength!" Rinny says, sheepishly pulling his hooves together.
"...Well... Uh... I mean... Hello th-beeh-re, my striped friend!" Says the snowman-goat-creature, who now attempted to reciprocate the hug, coming off as sour rather than sweet to Rinny.
"Uhh... You're not Shan. I don't think you're Shan..." Rinny says, rubbing the back of his neck. "Shan's a... Goat. Y'know?"
"OH! But I am a goat! Look at my horns and my ears!" The snowman snarkily said, pointing a finger at themself.
"Well then, if you truly are who you say you are, can you climb mountains as high as the Everest?!" Questioned Rinny, crossing his arms. "We always race to the top and see who the real hooved champion is!"
"...O-Of course I can..! Just give me a few days!" The snowman crossed their arms, looking away.
"Alright, deal! Meet me at Wretch Hills, and then we'll see who you really are!" Rinny smirks, walking away.
The screen fades to black before coming back, showing Rinny and his friends near the mountain, getting ready to challenge the less-than-legged snowman. "You can do it!" Shouted Coral Confidence, as Rinny tapped his feet against the soft grass. Their cheering came to a stop when a sudden "Behh!" is heard from a distance.
The snowman suddenly developed hooves, sharper and stronger than any digitigrade being on the city.
"Wassup, girls and boys?!" The snowman asked the group. "Name's Shan Strength... And I'm 'bout to beat your little friend in your stupid minigame." They boasted, puffing their chest out.
"Hmm.. let's see about that!" Says Rinny, a bit unsure about this, as the snowman's hind legs seemed to be... Melting.
And then, the race started...
...Or did it? Rinny stopped in his steps when he noticed the snowman's struggles to climb up, legs breaking in half and melting onto the grass with a loud shriek. Everyone gasped in horror, thinking the snowman's "clever" disguise was his body parts deteriorating, until a new face came into view.
"Oi! What's the behh is goin' on here?!" Asked Shan, who approached the scene slowly with his cane. "Oh, if it ain't my favorite enemy, Christopher Creative! You little rascal tried trickin' my friends once again with your tricks, eh?! Now you'll get what's comin' for ya!" He threatened, pulling the snowman by the bow and butt heading them, sending it to the other side of town.
"...Woah..! We didn't even know what that guy's motives were, Shan!" Exclaimed Rinny, who got shushed quickly.
"Oh no, I know what Christopher's messed up mind wants... He wants to beeehh just like me, a beloved billy with utter strength against all the folks that try to harm my friends..." He scoffs, spitting towards the grass and turning to the group behind him. "Remembeeeehr, everyone! You don't need to beeh like someone in order to beeh good! You beeeh-tter be yourself for who you are, or else ya might get some problems down that thin line of yours..."
And everyone fell down in laughter.
