No personality
Prologue
The beaver's wish
The sun was setting slowly, letting the sky bloody red. In Happy tree friends Town, there was nobody to be seen. All the citizens were in their houses, getting prepared for the next day.
Under an old appletree, there was a purple beaver with a huge tail and enormous teeth. He was holding a mirror. He could see his round, freckled face, his eyes which lacked expression and his incredibly big teeth with a gap between them. Suddenly, a pitched voice called him:
" Hey, Toothy! Come on! We're having a party here!"
It was Cuddles' voice. That golden yellow bunny was always happy, no matter what.
" Sorry, Cudd!" replied the beaver. "I don't fancy going to a party today."
Toothy was thinking about the others. All of them were unique in some way. Flaky was the biggest coward, Lumpy probably had no brain cells, Giggles was shy and sweet… All the others had something he didn't have: a personality, that thing which makes somebody special.
One day, Cuddles told him: " Sorry for that, bro, but I must tell you: I actually wanted to ask a Generic in the park, but he was busy. And you are as lacking of personality as he is…"
All over that, he looked like a Generic, except the freckles.
Thinking about that, tears came in his eyes. A few seconds later, he started crying. As usual.
He kept on weeping several minutes, as his face was completely wet.
That's all I can do. If I died it would be so fine! I wouldn't complain anymore about my huge flaw. I wouldn't care anymore if no girl likes me. I would be careless. But I'm cursed to come back to life, cursed to endure this forever. he thought with sadness.
Just then, the beaver heard some footsteps. It didn't take long to notice some scarlet quills full of dandruff. It was Flaky, and she was approaching him.
"What's up?" she asked shyly.
" As usual." He replied.
" Look, started the red porcupine, I know how much you want to be like us, that you don't feel… uh… complete without character. "
The purple beaver nodded his head.
" And… she continued, I know you would do everything to get one. I'm sure you found out that I love Flippy. I mean, I used to, but he left after being cured. He knew that all of us were still afraid of him and when Lammy came up, he started to feel replaced, so he went to another country. I… I miss him a lot! And I thought that it would be nice for you to… get his personality."
" What do you mean? It's impossible!" Toothy shouted.
" No, it isn't, especially if Sniffles is your psychiatrist. You could become a war veteran with posttraumatic stress, at least in your mind, and act like one. You would finally get what you have wished for years. And… You would have my love."
" Let me think about that." he replied, knowing very well that he would accept. After a second, he asked: " Do the others know?" but Flaky had left, letting a trail of dandruff behind.
