Flaky goes to a roller rink, but she has trouble balancing herself on the roller blades. She sees a roller skater passing by, making her jealous, so she decides to try entering the rink slowly. Disco Bear enters the rink as well, pushing her away straight into Lumpy's floor buffer, spinning her around while destroying her body and launching her quills everywhere. Disco Bear is one of the victims. Soon Lumpy becomes unable to handle the malfunctioning buffer and ends up being twirled around instead. He gets launched into a claw machine that Cub is playing. There, Cub manages to grab the moose's heart as his prize. He is confused at first, but he ends up liking it.

--> ''"What goes around comes around!"''

Airdate: September 15, 2002

"Rink Hijinks" is the third episode of the second (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

Flaky goes to a roller rink, but she has trouble balancing herself on the roller blades. She sees a roller skater passing by, making her jealous, so she decides to try entering the rink slowly. Disco Bear enters the rink as well, pushing her away straight into Lumpy's floor buffer, spinning her around while destroying her body and launching her quills everywhere. Disco Bear is one of the victims. Soon Lumpy becomes unable to handle the malfunctioning buffer and ends up being twirled around instead. He gets launched into a claw machine that Cub is playing. There, Cub manages to grab the moose's heart as his prize. He is confused at first, but he ends up liking it.
