It was Christmas time, and all the egos including Sean were gathered in the Septic house opening presents. 

"Hey Anti," Chase said with a snicker, "why don't you open up that one?" 

Chase pointed toward a small-medium sized present wrapped in green wrapping paper. 

"Ok," Anti said, a little confused. 

He glanced over at the egos who were doing a bad job at suppressing their giggles. Anti looked at the note attached to the ribbon and it said, "Enjoy! From: the egos & Sean". 

Anti kept giving them suspicious glances as he unwrapped the package. He tore off the paper (one of his favorite parts) and cut open the box (also one of his favorite parts) to reveal a small cute plush turtle with little black beads for eyes and a small smile on the front of its face.

Everyone started laughing, even JJ was silently chuckling. 

Anti glared daggers at all of them, and once most of them had calmed down and were looking at him, he grabbed the plush turtle's head and ripped it off. 

The whole room went dead silent for a second, everyone was either shocked or startled. 

"Dude! What the heck?" 

"Did he really just..." 

"Pffft haha" 

Anti glitched the turtle and its head to his room and calmly picked up another present. After looking at the label he said, "Jackie this one's for you."

.

The next day Anti went to his room and found the broken turtle plushie on his desk. After the joke of him saying, "I am a turtle" came out, he had a love-hate relationship with turtles. 

On one hand, it was aggravating that people would make fun of him for something they misunderstood him say. But on the other hand, he didn't hate turtles beforehand and he liked snapping turtles and thought that they reflected his personality fairly well. 

Then an idea struck him. He locked his bedroom door and grabbed the box of craft and crochet supplies from his closet.


Several days later


Marvin poked his head into the living room, "Hey Anti, where's that necklace I let you borrow?"

"It's in my room." 

"K thanks." Marvin disappeared and hustled towards Anti's room. 

Anti looked back at his phone when he barely heard Marvin say, "What the heck?!" 

Marvin carefully walked back downstairs and tried to discreetly get the other egos to Anti's room. Anti smirked from behind his phone. 

After all the egos were in his room for a moment, he glitched up there and saw them all huddled around the plush turtle. 

The turtle's head was stitched back on with obvious black criss-cross stitches and red felt and embroidery thread was added towards the front of the neck to resemble blood. The turtle's cute small smile was stitched on to make a wide crooked smile and its right eye was painted over so that it was pale green instead of black. 

Dark felt and stitching were added to some parts of the body to give the turtle a darker color and to give it rips, pointed edges, and spines. The added felt made it vaguely resemble a snapping turtle. 

Some of the egos were looking at Anti with confused shocked expressions at which point Anti said, "Watch this." 

And he turned off the light and shut the door at which point the pale green eye started glowing. 

"You painted it over with glow-in-the-dark paint?" Chase said. 

"Yep," Anti said with a smug look on his face as he turned the lights back on. 

"I have to say zis is rather impressive," said Henrik, who was examining the turtle. 

"Thanks. Now are yall gonna keep gawking or can you get out of my room?"
