One day around the woods, there was everyone's favorite woodpecker, Woody! He was pecking away, doing his famous laugh. "Boy oh boy, I could really use a dip in the pond!" He zooms through those trees with his beak, pecking away. Just then, he reaches to the end of the woods when he spots a nearby pond! He took out a large rectangular board and stuck on one edge of the pond. He then put on his bathing suit got on the edge of the board and with one of his famous laughs he jumped of the board.

SPLASH!

There, he emerges out of the water and swims wonderfully. He was humming a dandy tune. While he was enjoying his swim, there was somebody spying on the bird. Those eyes from that crevice of that bush appeared out angry. It squint its eyes with such great loath. "You're in HOT water now, Woody..." it growled as it disappeared back in the bush. Woody was doing some backstrokes and butterfly kicks and all the swimming tricks you can do on a pool or pond. From that same bush, an elephant rifle emerges out, targeting at the swimming woodpecker.

BANG!

That alerts the woodpecker as a tranquilizer dart misses him. "Is Mister Bear trying out a new suit again?!" He looks at where it was coming from. The rifle disappeared and so were the eyes. Woody glanced there, uncertain who or what it was. He then went back to what he was doing." I hope he doesn't bust his buttons again" Woody stated. He swims like as if nothing has happened.

He was backstroking again as he wasn't paying attention to where he was swimming. He was nearing a deep area were a cliff is above the water and a bush rests on the small cliff. Those eyes appeared out again as whoever was in there, muttered hatefully, "Time to end this, woodpecker...." He hides inside, trying to get ready to strike. As Woody was swimming back the cliff, something popped out with a big roar! A cute panda bear in red pants sprung out and grabs Woody as a big splash was made!

SPLASH!

Woody jumped up and flapped his wings trying to escape from whatever had hit him." Hey what gives???!!" He gags and coughs for air while he felt like someone was holding him down. He turns around fast and gasps to see who it was. That panda was panting for breath while grabbing hold of his legs, unaware that Woody has finally spot him. "Hey let go of me!!! Who are you??!!!" "You are just like everyone else, Woody Woodpecker!" that panda growled while grabbing Woody's feet as he continues to flap his wings. Woody then started picking his hands with his beak. He yells in pain as he grabs onto both his hands. Woody glances at him, trying to figure out who he is. "Don't you remember the time we went to a banquet and that walrus kicked us out?!" that panda yelled, "Surely, you know who I am!" "Ummmmmmm......" "You remember me as Andy, you attention turkey!" he roared.

Still not letting go, Woody then plucked one of his feathers off and starts tickling the panda. Andy begins to smirk and blushes from that tickling sensation. He doesn't to let go, but his armpits couldn't take it any longer. Andy begins to laugh until it gets to a point when his paws automatically lets him go. Woody was then able to go to his house in a flash. He was pleased that he got his chance to fly away.

He zooms through the trees by pecking through them as usual as he searches for his sanctuary. He then finds a clearing, which should help him look far and wide for his home. He finally spots his lovely tree house. The one that neighbors near that Swedish foil for a walrus, Wally. He quickly flies towards the door and slams it. He was leaning on the door, panting like as if he was being scared. He looks back, placing his hear on the door just to make sure nobody is near. No sound. He sighs in relief. "Welp, I'm gonna go make a sandwich and get my old album photos." Woody said to himself as he was about to turn around.

Before his eyes was Andy right in front of him with that sinister grin on his face. "Guess who!" the panda used that famous phrase from Woody. That same panda with those red pants and yellow shoes. Woody, scared out of his wits, begins to retreat out. But when he reaches the knob, it was locked tight. He struggles to get it open, but it won't budge. He begins to slam and pound on the door. "Hey, what's the big idea!" He yelled as he pulls on the knob. "Looking for this?" Woody turns back and spots that key to the door being hold by Andy. He opens his mouth and lets the key plummet down to his throat with a big gulp. A sound of a sploosh was heard from his stomach as he glances wickedly at the trapped woodpecker. Woody leans on the door, scared to know what is he going to do.

"What do you want from me?!" Woody demands with sweat of terror. Andy, grinning devilishly on his black and white face, explaining,"I was one of the first ones your father had made before you! I was on top of the world! I could've made history! But when you came in, you took away EVERYTHING that was dear to me! My fans! My publicity! My dreams! Your stupid fame had me faded away after the 50s! Nobody remembers who I am! I had to live away under a dark shadow of loneliness and depression! All because of YOU!" He growled as he points at him, poking at his beak a little. "Take it easy there, buddy!" Woody stutters. "Penniless and forgotten, I can't stop thinking about you! You were the reason I no longer exist to everybody! And now that I am where you live, this place..." Before he finished, he added a chuckle and pulls out an old fashioned revolver. "...shall be the place you DIE!" he growled happily and wickedly. "Whoa, there!" Woody yells as he flies up and then...

BANG!

Andy fired a shot, but missed. It blew a hole in a tree instead. "Darn it!" he shouted, and fired again. The next shot also missed Woody, but sent some apples falling from a nearby apple tree. The shot after that shattered an empty bottle on a stump, that was there for who knows what reason. He kept firing, hitting random things while Woody laughed. Finally, Andy pulled the trigger and heard a click. He was out of bullets! "Stupid dad-blasted gun!: Andy shouted, tossing it away. Then he head a "konk," and Woody fell. It had hit the woodpecker perfectly on the head!

Woody was seeing stars at that time, dazed from his blow. He begins to snap himself out of it. When he regained consciousness, he looks up, noticing the incoming panda right in the middle of the pounce. Without any hesitation, he flies away. Andy ends up having his face plant onto the floor. He growls as he chases after him. Andy soon gave chase, running after Woody like mad. The two ran through one doorway after another. Each ran through the doorway of one room, and out of the doorway of another, one that couldn't have possibly connected to the previous room. Finally, both ran through two doorways that were next to each other, turned and slammed into each other. Both knocked each other flat onto the floor. Then they both raised themselves on their elbows and shook their heads. They both noticed each other in shock. Woody then hightailed it down the hall, with Andy in hot pursuit!

Woody realizes that at the end of the hall was a window. He then has an idea up his sleeve. "You can crash through the window, but I am very careful about landing on my feet like a house cat!" Andy huffs between his sprints! Just as when Andy was getting closer to the woodpecker and Woody getting close to the window, something happened! Woody flew upward and Andy crashes through the window.  Outside, a loud "thud" was heard. Woody looked through the broken window, and saw that Andy had landed hard on the ground below, making a large crater. The panda raised his head shakily, looking bleary-eyed. Tiny copies of Woody danced around his head, laughing that familiar laugh. The real Woody called down, "You land on your feet like a cat? More like a bumbling bear!" Then he laughed and darted back inside, rapidly nailing planks over the window.

After that, Woody walked down the hall. He was now worried, and deep in thought. Why's Andy acting this way? he thought to himself. What did I ever do to him? Woody walks down, pondering deeply. Surely, he's trying to murder me for not remembering who he is. He continues to think out loud. And me being more popular than he is. Well, I hate to admit, but he sure seems under-appreciated and unrecognizable. Hmm.....

So he thinks deeply until there was a time back in 1964 on that Halloween night when he dresses up as a ghost over a party, which he remembers that one name, SPOOK-A-NANNY! He remembers that song during that party with everybody that was there. He remembers Smedley, Wally Walrus, Winnie and Splinter, Space Mouse, Chilly Willy, Buzz Buzzard, Homer Pigeon, Breezy, Sam, Knothead, Sugarfoot, Elmer, and just then.....he remembers that one who is now after him, ANDY PANDA! He gasps at the moment. He then begins to remember who Andy is.
Suddenly an axe starts to split the door open. A wide crack got splintered away, when Andy put his face inside. With a maniacal grin, he said, "Heeere's Andy!" With that, he chopped at the doorknob, bashing it away. Once that was done, he kicked the door open, and barreled after Woody, swinging the axe threateningly.

"Time to carve the turkey!" he roared as he was nearing Woody. Woody notices the incoming panda. He then begins to remember what are the verses for the Spook-A-Nanny. So he pulls out a pitch pipe, gets up, clears his throat, and begins to inhale. Before Andy would get a couple of inches near him, Woody sings out...

"SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Ghost and goblins dancing all around!
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Haunting all the houses in town!"

At that moment, Andy halts as if time just froze. He had that look as if he wonders what Woody is doing...

"SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Jack-O-Lanterns laughing with delight!
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Anything can happen tonight! "

Andy, still holding onto his axe, lowers his weapon down. He begins to think for a moment. He was certain he has heard that song before, but where and when? Woody notices that it's working so he flies away from him and lands on the stool near the piano, playing the ivory keys while singing on.

"Here comes the witches, riding on their sticks,
Hanging from their brooms are bag of tricks,
Strange things can happen before your very eyes,
Magic tricks you'll be surprised!"

Andy couldn't help, but felt a bouncing feeling into his legs. He gradually begins to remember that song....

"SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Owls a-hootin' give you quite a scare,
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
If the moon is hiding, beware! "

Andy converted from being aggressive and murderous to calm yet jovial. He begins to drop the ax and begins to dance to the song. He begins to remember the people that were in the party. He was dancing to his big shoes and flapping his hands. He was enjoying this all of the sudden. Woody sees him no longer mad and bloodthirsty. He begins to sing on...

"SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Ghost and goblins dancing all around!
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!"

Before he could get to the next verse, Andy dashes in, singing the next verse instead...

"Dancing on a ceiling, upside down!"

It was a moment when those two had arms on each other as the piano music still plays. They sing in a duet while dancing various dances...

"SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Grinning pumpkins and a wind will blow!
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Watching out for gremlins to show!

Watch for the black cats when they're on a prowl,
Scaring everyone, but the wise old wise,
Stop, look, and listen when the moon is bright,
Better wear your masks tonight!

SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Ghost and goblins dancing all around!
SPOOK! SPOOK! SPOOK! Spook-A-Nanny!
Haunting all the houses in town!"

Then they end it with a great, "HOOEY!"
After that big number, the two slumped on a couch, exhausted. "I remember that party," Andy said. "Me too," replied Woody. Then Andy heaved a sigh, and looked a bit sad..Woody looks at him worriedly. "What's wrong, Andy?" Andy's eyes begin to shed. He chokes up, "After all those decades....of being forgotten, of being spiteful and unpleasant......and now finally, you know who I am! I'm so happy that you remember that Halloween night! But......" He sniffs, making Woody responded even more questionable, "But what?" Andy continues as tears were gradually coming out, "Look at this place now! Your home!" Woody could see the damages all around his house. He begins to see what the panda means. "Me trying to kill you...over the love from your viewers and fans and the publicity. I'm such a jealous jerk...." He then begins to bellow in tears, covering his eyes.

Woody sits there, watching the poor, remorseful panda devoured by his own guilt. The woodpecker remembers the hard times Andy has. Like his short-tempered father, his unsatisfied girlfriend, Miranda, some crazy pet peeves with a moth, a rooster who almost ruined his victory garden, and all sorts of tough times. He begins to think that Andy gets most of the hardship and Woody gets most of the good luck. He then begins to sympathize the weeping panda. Woody gave Andy a pat on the back. The panda looked at the woodpecker, eyes brimming with tears, wondering what he was going to say next. But Woody didn't say anything, he just gave a warm smile that let Andy know he was forgiven.

Andy begins to hug him, now shredding tears of joy. Woody was quite pleased to see him all better. It was actually a good thing his neighbors are out of town. Otherwise, they would notice the commotion and call the police to arrest Andy. Woody believes that if his pal can help him clean up and repair the place, it will make it look like nothing happened. "Fear not, Andy!" he said, but then adds, "But if I were you, I'd get this place tidy up before anybody else thinks this house is a crime scene." Andy laughs as he responded, "I couldn't agree more!"
So the two set about cleaning up the mess. Andy swept up the debris from the floor while Woody tossed out the weapons. Pictures were straightened, furniture put upright, and finally the door was replaced. Soon enough, the house was finally neat and clean.

All around, the view was spotless, renovated, and repaired. There before the boys, they are place hands on each of their backs, admiring the effort they did together. They looked at each other with those warm smiles. Woody couldn't help, but spoke out, "You know? I also remember the time you were in my polka many years ago!" Andy laughs as he responded, "Oh, I'm so glad you remembered that one!" Andy then put this thought about himself with the rest of the world.

Wondering about it, he then said, "You think there are people out there who still remember me?" Woody answered, "I'm pretty sure as everyone still remembers Chilly Willy!" He added a chuckle to that as he continues, "Over in all, there are lots of people who wonder where you have been! There are in fact those who wish more cartoons about you!" The panda's face blushed warmly with flattery, honor, and loyalty. He was quite speechless after that. "But hey!" the woodpecker gets more of his attention, "I'm pretty sure if we go our someplace, I'm pretty sure there will be lots of fans out there just waiting to see you again. So why don't we go out for a nice treat of hot dogs? On me!" Andy couldn't decline on that kind yet delicious offering. "Why not?" he simply said.

Out of the door, they trek out like the two bestest friends there ever is! As they walk down the streets, some of the passersby glanced at the two. Especially Andy! One of them mutters positively, wondering if that is the long lost character. Andy couldn't help, but enjoy his curious public wondering about or remembering him. The panda begins to feel a lot better as Woody looks at us with his wink. Before we knew it, he added his famous laugh and the iris fades away.

- The End -
This was originally supposed to be between me and :iconviperpitsfilly:, but sadly, she has got some stuff to do since school is going to start. So half of this is done by her (which could've been the first one me and she had ever done) while my old collaborator, Jeff Plotkin aka EmperorNortonII :iconemperornortonii: helps me out with the rest. You familiar with Andy Panda who appears in those Woody Woodpecker cartoons, too? I got this idea that Andy and Woody got into a big fight since Andy feels forgotten like Oswald (and his hate towards Mickey). Enjoy!
