No one really saw when I posted this story the first time so here's to giving it another chance. I always wanted to do an episode about a cruise ship. Tell me what you think!

Cruising for a Bruising (Yes this is an actual saying and its perfect for an htf title)

Starring: Russell and Lumpy

Featuring: Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, Sniffles, Flaky, Disco Bear, Handy, Petunia, Mime, Cro-Marmot

Appearing: Lifty, Shifty, Cub, The Mole, Lammy

The episode begins with some characters boarding a huge cruise ship. The ship, driven by Lumpy, sets off. Russell, owner of the boat, spectates as the characters enjoy eating in the dining room, he turns to see Giggles with her arms out while Cuddles holds her at the end of the boat. Lumpy is still driving the boat when he sees a large iceberg in the way. Russell, Cuddles, and Giggles see this and Russell runs off.

He runs in the room where Lumpy is panicking as he tries to turn the boat from the iceberg. Russell and Lumpy both start to push numerous buttons, twist knobs, and pull levers when the boat stops, and instantly starts to move backwards at a fast speed. The friction causes the characters onboard to fall from their feet or lose their balance. Sniffles is slammed against a wall and Flaky slams into him back first killing him. Flaky stumbles towards a door with life jackets, she puts one on and pulls on a string causing the life jacket to inflate, making her head explode. Toothy is crawling on the floor to avoid being swung around but his head his crushed by a chandelier. Disco Bear pulls out one of the ships many lifeboats. Giggles, Cuddles, Lifty, and Shifty all climb on, we see Disco Bear's shocked reaction to another character climbing in offscreen, this character being Cro-Marmot who takes up more then half of the space on the boat. Disco Bear squeezes in the boat as best as he can and cuts a rope releasing the boat. A loud bang is heard when the boat lands. The screen pans down to reveal that they landed on a large rock and thanks to Cro-Marmot being in the boat every other character has been crushed to death.

Petunia and Handy are sitting together on a long boat with Mime being the french rower who's carrying a long oar to row the boat while the couple enjoys the ride. Handy and Petunia see the speeding cruise ship coming in their direction and desperatly try to get Mime to row faster, but Mime doesn't notice until the ship mows down their little boat. The ship only ran over the portion of the boat that Petunia and Handy where sitting in to Mime's shock.

The ship is now moving backwards towards a beach. Cub is buried in the sand with his head sticking out. He sees the ship coming towards him and struggles to get out of the sand. He fails and his head is horrificly run over by the cruise ship. The ship is now moving backwards on the ground and is moving on the city street, crushing and mowing over numerous cars one of which is driven by The Mole. Lumpy and Russell scream at the destruction and danger they're in when Lumpy gets an idea and walks out of the captains steering room. He grabs an anchor and throws it off the ship and it drags against the pavement. The ship is now headed towards a building and inside we see Lammy working as an office employee. The anchor stops the cruise ship from moving but not before the sharp end of the boat hits the building, impaling Lammy through the chest.

The episode ends with Mime rowing his broken half of the boat on the beach, he continues to row the boat forward even when he's on land.
