after many years pass from the hour of joy incident and the playcare goes into ruins from abandonment, the spirits of the smiling critters rise

Craftycorn: ow my head

Bobby bearhug: craftycorn, is that you?

Hoppy hopscotch: are we alive?

Bubba bubbaphant: it appears not, we’re dead but as spirits

Picky piggy: does that mean I can’t eat anything?

Kicken chicken: of course not doofus

Craftycorn: but where’s dogday?

Bobby bearhug: probably still alive, let’s go find him

each smiling critter goes to the various building to search. Hoppy hopscotch and bubba bubbaphant search home sweet home while kicken chicken and picky piggy looks through the school

Kicken chicken: picky, you can’t eat that, your dead

Picky piggy: aw man, no fair

craftycorn and Bobby bearhug both look through the playhouse. Craftycorn floats to the cells before gasping, find a barely alive dogday in a cell. She floats in and looks him over

Craftycorn: GUYS, I FOUND HIM!

they all appear as dogday lifts his head to look at them

Bobby bearhug: he’s alive!
