(This is more the cartoon version. Enjoy. Be any Smiling critter you want.)
Every one of the Smiling Critters had their talents. Craftycorn did art, Bobby Bearhug had the heart of a peacemaker, Bubba Bubbaphant was extremely smart, Kickin' Chicken was cool as hell, Picky Piggy loved to eat, Hoppy Hopscotch loved to run, and then...there was Dogday. The leader. The one who made sure everyone had fun.
And him? His favorite part was putting an end to their day. Sure, he was excluded most times. Then again, did it matter? He still helped in his own way. He was still in the episodes. He'd always felt distant from the others anyway. Dogday was the one he was the closest to.
He didn't seem very worried about whatever would come. They were all just fine here, in their little world. The Smiling Critters had each other, and that was enough. At least, it is to him. He's quite content as is, living like this.
Once glance at the sky said the day was drawing to its close. Good. Around time to play his part. Wether he uses his gas, or they don't need it, won't matter. They're sleeping either way.
