When Mike goes home, he decides to... um... [[ADateWithRosiePalms "pleasure" himself]] out of self-pity, which results in the arrival of [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Melissa Mouffette,]] an anthropomorphic skunk woman. She explains that she is a Púca, a "benevolent animal spirit" conjured from Mike's mind to help him cope with his lack of female companionship. This leads to Mike believing that he's insane, to which she denies, saying that he just needs to have someone there for him and love him.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Mike masturbates in order to cope with his loneliness and to feel close to somebody. Then Melissa arrives...

[[CoitusEnsues After immediately having sex with her,]] Mike realizes that he still has a project to do for his animation composition class, which Melissa tells him not to worry about, and takes him out for a walk, where they discuss the outcomes of their relationship. Mike promises her that he won't forget about her if he finds someone else, and they both share a kiss under the moonlight.

* StylisticSuck: The style of the animation is very poorly drawn, since its labelled a "rough pilot."

* {{Tulpa}}: While Melissa claims to be a Púca,[[note]]An Irish spirit or ghost that takes on the form of an animal that is said to bring either good or bad luck.[[/note]] This trope describes her more accurately. She was created by Mike's subconscious to balance his negativity by channeling his positivity into her, projecting her into reality [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness (Or at least exclusively to Mike),]] in a form he finds [[MsFanservice attractive.]]

* ShoutOut: Ted is wearing a Music/Metallica shirt.

* {{Animesque}}: The short is vaguely drawn this way, albeit in a very [[StylisticSuck crude]] and surreal way.

* JumpScare: When Mike is waiting at the bus stop and glances down at his "I am MIKE The Hardcore + Awesome" shirt, it jarringly cuts to a FreezeFrameBonus of a [[ArtShift much more detailed]] picture of a monstrous, hag-like creature holding the aforementioned t-shirt as a guttural scream is heard. The image appears again towards the end of the short, where Mike implies that [[TakeThat it represents his ex-girlfriend.]]
