How Candy Squirrel Became An Angel

Chapter 1:
The Accident
Sandy's cousin, Candy, was vising Sandy in the treedome. Candy was a squirrel who looked a lot like Sandy only she had pink fur with lavender highlights and blue eyes. She was wearing a swimsuit like Sandy's only it was solid purple.
Sandy was showing off her inventions. They stopped in front of a particularly large robot. The robot was made of shiny metal and had a scary looking face with a mustache. It had really long arms that appeared to be made kind of like cranes.
"What is that, Cousin?" Candy asked.
"Ah, that? Well, it was supposed to be some kind of fighting robot, but it had some bugs and now it's just a nutcracker," Sandy said.
"Haha, really?" Candy laughed. "That big thing can crush tiny nuts?"
"That's about the only thing it's good for. Wanna try it out?"
"I'm not sure that's necessary. Or safe."
"C'mon, it'll be fun and It's plenty safe!" Sandy said. "Here, put on this helmet." She put an ugly looking helmet on Candy's head. "Now hold this bowl of pecans." She handed Candy a plastic bowl of pecans.
"I'm not sure this is a good idea," Candy said.
It was too late. Sandy was already in the robot's cockpit. "Now hold that bowl over your head, OK?"
"Like this?" Candy asked, holding the bowl over her head.
"Yeah, just like that," Sandy said. "Now I'll just push this here button and you'll witness this robot's amazing nut cracking abilities!" She pushed a bright red button.
The robot's two giant hands edged towards Candy. They monetarily hovered over her head while Candy shivered with fear and hoped that the the whole thing would be over soon. Instead of crushing the nuts over Candy's head, the hands quickly moved down and squeezed Candy's throat. The hands then quickly retracted to where they started, and Candy's body fell to the ground.
Sandy quickly rushed over to her cousin's body. "Oh, Neptune, what have I done?" she cried.
"I knew that was a bad idea," Candy said, or at least tried to say. She didn't notice until she tried to speak that she was actually hovering over her body. "What's going on? Am I just a spirit now? Did I die?" Candy touched her chest, but the body Sandy was holding remained motionless. "I guess this is my spiritual body. Huh." She looked down. "Poor Sandy. She didn't deserve to have this happen to her! I wonder what I could do now."
But before she could answer her own questions, she felt her spirit floating away involuntarily. "I wonder where I'm going. That big oak tree in the sky?"
A/N: Poor squirrels! I hope they'll be OK. :(
