The Day after Cub's funeral, Pop is grieving after his son's death and he is pretty upset about it. Pop's childhood friend 'Flippy' feels bad for him and told him that he will 'promise and always be there for Pop no matter what' that fueled Pop that start going out of his way to treat Flippy like a baby cause of his words.

Full Story:
At the cemetery at rainy day, Pop and Flippy decided to visit Cub's gravestone while holding umbrellas. Pop is sad about how he lost his own child from an accident.

Pop sobbing "I-I can't believe my little boy.... is gone..."

Flippy witnessed this how much he feels bad for Pop, he puts his arm around Pop's shoulder.

Flippy upset and said "I'm so sorry, Pop... It's hard for the people you love is gone when you're starting think of them if they're still in life but unfortunately they're not.. I lost my friends at the war and I still missed them.....but I carried on, trying to move on and recover from that. I've made new friends and stopped drinking alcohol.. I like making potrey now. Besides I'm still your friend even the day we meet when we were children, I was 5 and you were 7 at the time but we were like brothers more then just friends."

Pop stopped sobbing "You really think so?..." while holding his umbrella.

Flippy smiles "Yeah, we're still friends and all grown up. I will always be here for you. I promise."

Pop said "Promise?..."

Flippy still smiles "I promise. I will always be by your side when you need me."

Pop gives Flippy a heart small smile and hugs him. "Thank you, Flippy."

Flippy hugs him back

Flippy calmly said "Anyways, I've gotta go.. We'll see each other tomorrow."

Flippy walks away from the cemetery and Pop stares from the distance.



Pop monologues:



"Promise.."



"Always be my side.."



"As promise..."



It cuts to Pop's house and bedroom, Pop sleeping in his bed and dreaming.

Pop's dream opens up with Pop in a dark void room and he sees someone who is wearing Cub's hat and a diaper. Pop summed it's Cub so he decided to walk towards that person in his dreams. Pop after walking towards thinking it's Cub, but instead he sees a grownup green bear in diaper and with Cub's hat who appears to 'Flippy'.

Pop confused and stood frozen until Dream Flippy looks at Pop in the eyes with puppy eyes, Dream Flippy saids "Papa...?".

When Dream Flippy tries to reach for Pop, but Pop backs away and Dream Flippy trips on the ground breaking his nose and bleeding. Dream Flippy starts sobbing like an actual baby. Pop stood frozen but instead decided to calm down to comfort Dream Flippy cause he feels bad. "Flippy, are you okay!?" Pop said, but the green bear keeps sobbing until Pop spots a pacifier on the ground and decides to put it on the green bear's mouth. "Shh, it's okay old friend" Pop smiles while holding Flippy's head and petting him. Later Dream Flippy calm down, Pop slowly takes out the pacifier. "How you feeling, Flippy?" Pop asked, the green bear in diaper replied with "Is that even my real name, Papa?". Pop stood frozen when he sees his own best friend in a dream wearing a diaper and Cub's hat. Pop had second thought but made up his mind with a smile "You know what, I'm gonna call you 'Cub'", Flippy from his dream said "Cub?", Pop replied with "yes". That made the green bear from Pop's dream very happy and suddenly turns into Pop's son 'Cub' . Pop starts feel happy with tears in his eyes and starts hugging him until vanished to dust. Pop starts crying in his own dream on the ground.



Pop wakes up from his dream, as when he starts to catch his breath. Pop starts thinking about his dream and Flippy's words and him in his dreams as his new cub. Pop looks at his picture of Cub and now he opens up picture of selfie with himself and Flippy.

Pop monologues:

"Promise... He will always be my side..."

"Always.."


The Next Day, Flippy arrives at Pop's house with some chocolate and honey and Pop lets him in but Pop still thinking about that dream he had and being secretly insane cause he keeps hallucinating of seeing Flippy as his new cub in a diaper by Pop's POV.

Flippy sits on the couch and ready to drink coffee with Pop. Pop will go to kitchen to get the coffee ready but instead Pop drugged Flippy's coffee for him to be his new baby cub.

Pop comes back from the kitchen and gives Flippy a nice hot cup of coffee "Here's your coffee my sweet little baby boy." as Pop smiled.

Flippy starts confused but decides to drink his coffee.

Pop sits down until Flippy starts ask him why is being weird, Flippy said "Pop, why are you been so weird?"

Pop ignores his question and said "Aren't you just sweetest little boy out there?" and continues smiling.

Flippy starting to get uncomfortable, "Dude, what the hell is gone into you?"

Pop replies with "Are you ready for bed?"

Flippy doesn't know what he means, until his eyes starts to get very sleepy. "What did.... you put on.... this coffee--" and he falls asleep.

Pop stands up and kisses Flippy on the forehead "Sweet dreams, my cub~"


Few Hours Later, Flippy wakes up in a oversized crib, he feels weird. he looks down he's not wearing his military uniform but wearing a diaper, mittens for hands and feet, and big baby pajamas, Flippy horrified.

Flippy yelled "WHAT THE HELL!?"

Pop checks on him "Hello my new cubby~"

Flippy yells at "Cubby? I'm not your son, I'm not 'Cub'!"

Pop smiles calmly "Oh Don't be silly, Cub. You are 'Cub'.".

Flippy replied back with anger "My name isn't Cub... It's Flippy.."

Pop straight up ignores his words "Don't be silly again, you made promise to me you'll be by my side. remember?" with a smile on Pop's face.

Flippy replied with "My God... You are really fucking stupid..."

Pop stood frozen as his smile fades away "What did you just say?!.."

Flippy replied with "I said YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID-"

Pop snaps and pulls him out of the crib and cracking his back due to Flippy's weight "You been naughty baby, Cub. It's time for your spanking."

"Wait what? HeheHahah. You are seriously gonna spank a grown ass man, you better be joking?" Flippy thinks it's laughing matter.

Pop isn't joking until he put Flippy on his lap and spanks him really hard.

Flippy yelled in pain "OWWWWW STOP!"

Pop replied with "Are you gonna be a good boy?!?"

Flippy yelled "YES!"

Pop stopped spanking him "what was that?"

Flippy yelled "I'LL BE A GOOD BOY FOR JESUS' SAKES, Stop...!"

Pop starts smiling and headpats him "Good boy, I hope you learned your lesson."

Flippy feeling grumpy.


At the dinner table.

Flippy is sitting at the high chair while Pop is feeding him some gross baby food.

Flippy tries to spit it out but Pop won't let him, so he swallowed it all. Pop head pats him and he goes back to heading his dinner but accidentally spilled ketchup all over himself.

Flippy starts mistakenly sees the ketchup as "blood" and starts flipping out as Fliqpy and starts bitting his teeth trying to reach Pop.

Pop notices him and he grunts.

"Flip- I mean Cub.. Why are you misbehaving again? If you keep doing this, You're gonna get a spanking!" Pop yelled.

Fliqpy tries to break free from his mittens hands but doesn't work, he keeps bitting and hitting the air like a toddler who is throwing temper tantrum.

Pop signed and grunts "You know what, I warned you!"

It cuts to

Fliqpy standing the corner with his rose buns all red hanging out from the diaper.

Pop said "Now stand there and think about what you did!"

Fliqpy grunts and turn back to the corner.

Fliqpy monologues:

"Why am I have to be in Flippy's fucking god-damned mess!"

"Like FUCK THIS"

Flippy snaps out of it. He had no idea what happened.

Flippy said "What the hell just happen-?"

Pop yelled "Language!"

Flippy sighed.


10 hours later, Flippy struggles to open the door as he grabbed his gear bag--gone. War flashbacks blend with baby cries. He suddenly collapse onto the floor.

Flippy wakes up from his crib to see Pop looking at him with a smile.

Flippy questioned slurred "What did you... do to me...?"

Pop smiled said "Just making sure for my little baby boy stays safe and calm. You get so fussy when you’re upset."

Flippy tries to stay awake "But Pop... I'm... Not Cub..."

Pop replied with "Of course, you are Cub.. you are my sweet little boy, my good, sweet baby boy.#

Flippy falls asleep

Pop kisses Flippy's forehead "Goodnight, my little boy~"


After few nightmares, more days and endless non-stop of baby torture. Flippy has been mind-broken and he thinks he is 'Cub' and he is Pop's baby.

Flippy who is now mind-broken sitting on the floor drawing dinosaurs on piece of papers.

Pop goes to check on him.

Flippy noticed Pop who is now mind-broken to be his daddy and shout with a smile "Look Daddy! I draw a dinosaur!"

Pop giggled as he take Flippy's drawing to his hands and kisses him in the forehead. "That's my boy." with a smile on his face.

"Want me to hear a bedtime story before bed?" Pop suggests with a smile.

"Yes Papa, I would love that so much!" Flippy replied with a smile.

Pop picks up Flippy and Pop's back keeps cracking, "Let's get you to bed, kid" with a smile.



The fades to Pop's house which means Pop hasn't moved on Cub's death and he will still treats his own friend Flippy like a baby for the rest of his life until he dies. Flippy will forever be mind-broken because how Pop keeps treats him like this way. He is not just a victim but a mind-broken adult baby for the rest of this life and there's no point of turning back.


Pop has died in a fatal heart attack in his own bad later that night.

Flippy who is mind-broken wakes up in his crib and starts crawling out of it. He barely walks with his bear feet and starts sucking his thumb and looking for Pop.

"Daddy, where are you?" Flippy looking for him with a smile.

He goes to the kitchen to see no one there.

Flippy decides to go to Pop's bedroom as he open the door to find Pop's corpse laying in bed, however Flippy doesn't what death or being dead means but he assumed that Pop is sleeping. Pop is the one who mind-broken him mentally and turns him into his own child to replace his dead son 'Cub' which Flippy is preferred as 'Cub' now on cause he doesn't remember his own identity or his real life.

Flippy tries to wake up Pop "Papa wake up, I'm hungry..." but still Pop isn't waking up. Flippy sighed but smiled "Okay Papa.. I'll just find something else to eat." as he goes back to the kitchen.

Flippy finds something the fridge, he finds some milk, chocolate, uncooked pizza, rot beer and uncooked chicken. Flippy takes the can of root beer and starts opening it with a fork. Flippy decided to takes sniff It cause it smelled like strawberries, he decided to take a sippy until he spits it out on the floor cause it taste like pure alcohol. "Yuck.." and Flippy feels upset cause he did know cause he is now mind-broken child who is stuck in adult body. "Papa is gonna kill me..." as Flippy returned the root beer back to the fridge. Flippy is now making drawings for Pop to apologize for opening can of root beer in the living room.

Flippy goes to Pop's room to show him in drawing and tries to wake him up but sadly it didn't work. "Papa, wake up. I draw you piece of art of you and me. I'm really sorry for opening that can can of that is not strawberry juice..." Flippy said, but Pop still saids nothing cause he's dead.

Flippy feels guilty but smiles softly and puts the drawing right next to Pop's bed. "I'm gonna leave this here for you, Papa" and kisses him in the forehead.

Five Days Later, Pop's house starting to get dusty, Pop's corpse starting to rotting. Flippy eat all everything in the house and he starts muttering to himself and starts acting very creepy and strange.

Flippy muttering:

"Papa saids I'm a good boy"

"I'm a good boy"

"I will always be Papa's little baby boy"

In a baby talking.



Flippy's diaper starting to get very saggy and he starts get a rash that he hasn't been changed in days. Flippy still starving as he tries to watch cartoons again but the power is out and no water bill has been payed. Flippy starts singing his lullabies from Pop and looking directly into the mirror to see himself as complete mess. Flippy looks at himself in the mirror and said "What am I?" in a baby talk. Flippy starts yelling "No! I'm Cub, Cub, I am Cub!" and starts giggling like a creepy manbaby and lays on the floor acting completely insane.

The Next Day, Home Service Worker named Lumpy is about to check the house, he rings the doorbell. "Open up! You haven't payed your bills for the past days!" as he is yelling through the window. Flippy sees Lumpy in the window and starts waving him though the window. Lumpy starts getting confused what's going on, so he brings out a key that opens Pop's house. Flippy starts to get very scared and starts running to Pop's room as he did, Lumpy spots that Flippy is wearing a diaper "What the hell?... Flippy, wait!" as Lumpy follows Flippy to the room. Lumpy sense a smell coming from Pop's room as he goes to the room he was greeted with Flippy sobbing and hugging Pop's corpse. Lumpy looked horrified but remains calm "Flippy, what's going?", Flippy looks confused and said "Mister, you know Flippy too?", Lumpy replied with "What?" with a confused face, "Papa told me Flippy's bad.." Flippy said. Lumpy replied back with "Flippy, It's me Lumpy!.. I'm not gonna hurt you, Just tell me what happened?", Flippy replied with "Are you my friend?" with tears flowing down is face. Lumpy hugs him "Yes.. do you know your own name, your age and friends?", Flippy hugs him back "Yes, my papa, my teddy and now you are my friends. I'm Cub, I'm only 3 years old..", Lumpy stood frozen and more horrified and goes to check Pop's corpse "What happened to him?..." Lumpy said. Flippy said with innocent smile "He's just sleeping.". Lumpy feels more uncomfortable and terrified as he hugged Flippy tight. Lumpy takes him out of the house and calls someone for help as he start to realize what has Pop done to him.

The police shows up to check the house and the white transport van for Flippy.

Inside the van, everyone is strapped in and sedated with Flippy sitting.

A nurse muttering "Patient 1112– severe regression. Casefile says he thinks he’s a baby.” but Flippy starts licking his own hands, as the nurse saw him and also said "Nah… he knows he’s a baby. That’s the terrifying part... scary..."

Casefile:
Subject: Flippy Flipson
Former military, history of PTSD, dissociation, war trauma during his time in the war.
Current diagnosis: Dissociative identity disorder with infantile regression.
Triggered by prolonged trauma and horrifying delusional caretaking behavior from deceased guardian figure ‘Pop’.
Prognosis: Irreversible

A doctor by the name of Dr Shue came to interview Flippy in a padded room. Flippy is just sitting on the floor playing with his toys as Dr Shue sits on Flippy's bed.

Dr Shue said "Flippy, can you care to explain why are you here right now?"

Flippy smiled and said "Well, a new home. Papa thinks these people are caretaking me and giving me lunches, toys and even a TV to watch my cartoons"

Dr Shue replied with "Ok.. They also give you pills as medicine."

Flippy replied back "I thought they were just colorful candy?"

Dr Shue started to testify him "Do you know who I am, Flippy?"

Flippy replied with "Of course, my babysitter!" with a cheerful smile.

The doctor said nothing but takes notes on him:
"Severe infantilism. He is completely mental surrender. trauma response solidified into alternate identity. He has no desire to return to his former self"

After that interview ends, Dr Shue exists the padded room. The worker questions him "So doctor, what happened?". Dr Shue explains "Well Flippy Flipson is in severe infantilism. He has been completely mental surrender. He has no desire to returned to his former self again. he needs to go through testing. I'm so sorry...", The worker questioned "Did he tried to attack you?", Dr Shue response with "No, he's not violent but he is mentally broken.. you should try giving him mental treatment and keep him way from the other patients." then he walks away.

Flippy has been gone a few testing, one testing features how to solve a puzzle but it becomes failure, second testing features him using the toilet but fails that too, third testing features the nurse playing clip footages of the war but Flippy full doesn't understand any of this but start crying as he hugged the female nurse who he prefer to her as "Mommy".

Flippy is still mentally broken forever and there's nothing they can do. they daily give him diaper changes, bottle-feeding, rewards with stickers for "being good" and also more pills.

One reports that during night shifts that he hears two voices coming from the room. But the surveillance always shows Flippy that he is always alone.



Flippy stares in the mirror of reflection of himself and said "Hello Cub, you're just like me?" as smiles.

He slams his face and hands against the mirror and said "Wanna be friends?" with a creepy smile.

Several months later after Flippy admitted. The snow starts to melt but inside of the asylum, time still stands always.

A familiar face steps in the asylum, 'Cuddles' who is a friend of Flippy since college. He's holding a selfie photo in hand of a photo of him, Flippy, Pop and Cub. Cuddles goes to local counter to ask the worker. "Hello sir, I'm here to see a patient, real name: Flippy Flipson. They've said that he's alive...but completely different?"

The female worker asked "Full name please?", Cuddles replied with "Cuddles Speed". She hesitates but forced a smile and said "He doesn't get many visitors, so prepare yourself...".

Cuddles and the doctor looked through the glass, Cuddles horrified what he is seeing him "What did Pop done to Flippy?...", but Dr Shue replied with "You mean Cub? He goes by the name 'Cub' and he no longer recognize himself as the name Flippy anymore. The regression is... irreversible...". Cuddles watches Flippy in horror as Flippy is holding up a drawing of himself and Pop in crayons that saids 'Me and My Papa".



Cuddles enters the visitation room to see Flippy.



Flippy sees him and lights up "Hi Rabbit mister! Are you my new friend?" with a cheerful smile on his face.

Cuddles can't even smile right now but replies with "I was... Flippy, it's me.. Cuddles.. Don't you remember me, buddy?"

Flippy replies back "I remember a cuddly bear who likes to give me warm hugs from my dreams?"

Flippy begins to hug Cuddles like a child, Cuddles starts his eyes tearing down his face, "You don't... K-know what he did to you?...", Flippy response with "Papa take good care of me, he loved me so much and he gived me a name."

Cuddles replies with "Flippy... Pop's dead, he lost his mind and made you mind-broken!" as he couldn't take it.

Flippy stares at him in blankly, then he suddenly repeatedly said "No no no no... no, Papa saved me and he didn't hurt me... He saved me from the war... the screaming.. scary stuff... from Flippy.".

Cuddles replied with "Flippy..."

Flippy covers his ears with his eyes and smile said "La la la! Flippy's bad! Cub is Good! Flippy is bad! Cub's good!" with a childish tone.

Cuddles sighed "Welp, I guess this is goodbye..."

Flippy smiles cheerful "Okay, Goodbye mister!" as he waves. Cuddles closes the door.

It cuts to Cuddles going to his car and looking back to asylum with his words being "You are the bravest soldier I knew... But now you're just gone..."

Cuddles enters his car and leaves.

10 Years Later, Flippy died due to overdose cause the nurses gived him to many pills.

At the cemetery, a gravestone besides Pop's in the cemetery reads:
"Flippy Flipson - A Beloved Friend, Lost Too Soon..."
"War took his body. Grief took over his mind..."



Cuddles who is now older and in his 30s, holding his son "Flips" in the hand cause he named his own child with his friend Flippy's nickname. Cuddles sighed gives a rose to Flippy's grave.

Flippy's ghost watches and cries that he lost everything that he ever had when he was alive and starts to hug Cuddles but Cuddles can not see Flippy's ghost or hear him.

Cuddles' son 'Flips' said "Daddy... Wanna go get ice cream? Will everything be okay...?"

Cuddles looks back at his son, "Sure, why not..."

Flippy's ghost still grieving and upset as he will never look back what Pop did to him and he will always ignore Pop and Cub in the afterlife cause Flippy lost his own freedom to live, future, no family, no job, no friends and no happy ending.



Flippy lost everything and his true self when he still alive, it's truly end of his own story. Everyone will forget about him except for Cuddles, he will never forget that day but it will still haunts him forever. Flippy could've had a better life if Pop didn't drugged him or completely broke him. This is the end, unfortunately...

1 Month

At Cuddles's place, Cuddles is brushing his own teeth and tries to forget the trauma and move on.

Cuddles's narration: "It's been 10 years after that tragic incident... I've just can't believe my best friend was gone because how a broken parent who had no child anymore. It's important to lose someone who you love but you can not just erase their identity and replace it with a new one. Sometimes it's hard to lose your kid, but it was never right. If you abuse a fellow friend to be in your child, then it's not right for you then you should get mental help. It's not worse then a pedophile groom your child or anyone's child, but that's how I believe."

Cuddles sitting on the couch watching TV while his son 'Flips' shows him his drawings. Cuddles hugged with a smile while Cuddles's wife 'Wendy' gives him a kiss.

"There's difference between misunderstood and abusive... You can not change what you did once you died, but we can pray for you. My best friend was a good soldier but turned into a grown adult toddler, it really upsets me. I should've just kept visiting him and might be his legal guardian once he was alive but those pills really destroyed his life to live."

Cuddles headpats his own son as he goes to the kitchen to get some coffee.

"If there's hope, there's still hope."

It cuts to Cuddles sleeping in his underwear on the bed while his wife Wendy is covered in blankets. Cuddles keeps having nightmares.

"I keep getting nightmares, what if I lose my own child and wife? What if I lose my own myself and everything? Will I abuse someone to become my own child? Or will I abuse myself to become mind-broken? Thank God, it will never happened. Just like my friend from 10 years ago, thank God I wasn't my friend's abuser's first victim instead of him.. I keep tried to forget every single day... And wake up in the next morning."

Month 2

It was nighttime, Cuddles falls asleep on the couch while his wife is at work.

"You either a father or an abuser... You can't be both. My friend Lumpy who is now 45 told me, sometimes we gotta forget but sometimes we don't. We don't wanna lose someone who we dearly love."

Cuddles quickly wakes up, he sees that his son is no longer with him. Cuddles starts to worry and panic as his heart raising until he finds his son sleeping in his own bed. Cuddles quickly calms down and fainted on the floor.

"Sometimes we worried to much..."

The Next Day

Cuddles goes to local bar drinking with his friend Lumpy. Cuddles is drinking apple juice because alcohol can slowly damage someone and killed them.

"We do worry what we drink, rather if you're an alcoholic or an abuser. Sometimes both... That's why we prefer juice drinks and soda instead of alcohol.. You might not know what it will do to you, you might start to see shit..."

The Next Day.

Cuddles goes to a therapy session to explain his problems and how he should deal with them.

"Getting therapy is a good decision...but it comes with a higher price.. usually most therapist charged you when they ask you anything and they do it for money.. I kept giving them money and it was worth it.. Free therapists don't exist.. But my therapist said 'Life is hard, but we gotta keep on live in and tried to experience fun with our lives' as she said. So I take her word on it."

4 Months Later.

Cuddles visits Flippy, Pop and Cub's graves at the cemetery one last time while he smiles as he gived flowers each of their gravestones while it's sunny.

"After four months, I can finally live happy with no trauma at all. Life can be cruel but.....in the afterlife, it's not... There's a lot of evil, misunderstood and mistakes in our lives. But what does it take it, well... You be the judge, what does it kill you, makes you stronger.."

Cuddles walks away from the cemetery happy.

As Flippy, Pop and Cub's ghosts watched as Flippy has now forgiving Pop for what he have did. Flippy's ghost gived Ghost Pop and Cub a small hug.

"Not everyone's a monster.. God knows the truth of who is and who is not."

The End.
