DISCLAIMER: I do not own Happy Tree Friends or Flippy but I do own every other character in this story _
Xianghua, a beautiful young white she wolf with black hair and blue eyes, is in her new bedroom listening to some music and doing homework when she notices some new presences in town. She immediately rises from her desk and goes out into the hallway only to meet her adopted brother. "Do you sense new presences?" she asks him.
"Yeah. And it feels like they're about our age. Do you think Dad will take them in?" Alex, a mint green bear with blonde hair and blue/gold eyes, replies. "I'm going to the observation deck to see if I can spot them. You can join me if you'd like." Xianghua says as she walks down the hall. "I'm good" Alex replies as he enters his own room again.
"Alright but keep your mind clear in case I call for you." Xianghua says as she continues down the hall.
'Sure thing Sis.' Alex thinks to his sister.
-on the observation deck-
Xianghua has out a pair of binoculars scanning the area for the new people she and Jr. both sensed. She sees them in the park, collapsed from exhaustion. 'I've spotted them. Daddy is definately bringing them up here. They'll need help. We should probably head downstairs.' Xianghua thinks to her brother. She flies off the observation deck to the entryway, two stories below. Flippy arrives a few minutes later with the new teens. "Xianghua, Jr. help these guys in. I'm going up to the observation deck. I think someone was following me." Flippy says as he heads around the house to a flight of outside stairs. One of them is awake so Xianghua helps her in first. Once she is settled Xianghua goes back to help Alex with the other two, who are still unconscious. "Hi Chela, I'm Xianghua and this is my brother Alex." Xianghua says once everyone is settled. Alex goes off to the kitchen to fix drinks for those awake. "Hi Xia-wait a minute how do you know my name?" Chela, a beautiful white tiger with yellow green hair and blue eyes, replies.
Xianghua giggles, "I have a gift that allows me to know everything about everyone."
"Can't keep secrets with you around." Chela mutters under her breath.
"True, but that also means I know about your own gift." Xianghua replies noting the sudden flash of color across Chela's face. "Do you know anything about these two? They were found with you." Xianghua asks.
Chela looks around at the spacious living room and at the other two teens. One is a pale blue bear with black hair flopped over in his face, the other a darker but still light blue wolf with black hair as well but his bangs are a rainbow color. They are still asleep on two striped sofas in the room. "Um, I just met them in a park." She points to the bear, "that's Zero, and the other one is Sunny, but didn't you just say you knew everything about everybody?"
"Yes I did, I just wanted to know if you knew." Xianghua replies. Alex comes back into the living room with a trey with three glasses of iced tea on it. There is also a large pitcher of tea and two more empty glasses. Xianguha picks up one of the glasses and walks towards the foyer. "I'm going to see Daddy."
Chela also picks up a glass and downs half of it before taking a breath. " So how are the two of you related?" She asks Alex.
"Dad adopted her when she was a pup. I was nine months old and Mom had just been killed in a car accident. Dad still wanted to take her in and give me a sister. More tea?" Alex says in a low tone but with a smile on his face. "And does she really know everything about EVERYBODY like in the whole world?"Chela asks looking horrified while Alex refills her glass.
"Well she knows everything about everybody she meets." Alex replies. "I have powers too." He adds under his breath. "Huh-?" Chela asks and is about to press further when Xianghua and Flippy run down the stairs and into the living room.
Flippy looks directly at Alex and he rises from his seat walking off to the basement (and the armory) coming back up a few minutes later. He has an ammo box on his back filled with .50 caliber shell. The belt is hooked to a Vulcan mini gun. He pauses at the top of the stairs to cock it and tosses his father his chrome plated 45's with silencers. Just then there is a thud on the front door. Flippy runs to open it and finds a beautiful smokey grey cat with hair as white as a snow drift. She is wearing the remnants of a strait jacket from THIA, the insane asylum just outside of town, and has a rather curious feature. A pair of demented looking butterfly wings. "Take care of her. I sense those bastards that were following me are on the grounds." He says to the girls. He and Alex head out for some asshole hunting. "What's her name?" Chela asks.
"Lola. She's a vampire." Xianghua replies.
-with Flippy and Alex-
'They're from THIA.' Alex thinks to his father. 'There's four of them. We should split up.'
'Alright I'll head towards the forest. You stay near the house. Make sure they don't make it to the front door.' Flippy thinks as he slams two clips into his 45's. He heads off behind the house. Alex stays near the front of the house, hidden in the bushes. It isn't long before his first victim literally walks up to the door. He's a big brown and black dog with black hair wearing a THIA uniform. 'The dumbass doesn't even know he's being watched. And he doesn't have his gun out. Sloppy.' Alex thinks to himself. He aims the mini gun at the idiot and squeezes the trigger for six seconds. A two foot flame comes off the barrels as they rip the dog to shreads. Alex shoulders the gun and walks toward the remains and kicks the head. Just then a shot ricochets off a porch light just above his head. "Dammit." He says ducking behind the porch railing. He watches through the slats for any sign of who just tried to shoot him. He closes his eyes to better harness his sensing ability. He hones in on a presense to his left. "Gotcha." He whispers to himself. He stands up still with his eyes shut and opens fire again. He opens his eyes and again shouldering the gun approaches the remains of his second victim of the day. "That's what you get for trying to fuck with my family." He says to the unfortunate corpse. 'I've just popped two.' He thinks to his father. 'Good. Go back inside but keep an eye out in case one slips past me.' Flippy thinks. He is sitting on a tree branch perfectly still. Watching he sees a violet rabbit with blonde hair walk under the tree he's sitting in. Flippy carefully aims one of his 45's fireing twice. The dumb fuck didn't even know what hit him. Flippy climbs down to drag the body into some bushes. "I'll come back for you later." He senses another presense not far to the right. He stealthily creeps from tree to tree coming up behind a red beaver with white hair. Flippy takes out his knife and with deadly precision severs the spinal cord.
-back at the house-
Xianghua and Chela have managed to carry Lola to the infirmary. Xianghua is hooking her up to several monitors and a morphine drip. "Chela would you help me get the boys up here too?" Xianghua asks. They go back down to the living room only to find that Sunny, the blue wolf, is missing. They start looking for him and hear Alex talking in the entryway.
"Calm down I'm not gonna hurt you. This is for those THIA assholes." They walk in to discover Sunny groveling in front of Alex who is sitting on the floor. He notices the girls and turns around. "Save me!" He shouts and runs for cover behind them.
"Jr What did you do to him?" Xianghua shouts at her brother. "Chill, Sis. I didn't do anything. I just heard some noises in the living room and decided to investigate." Alex says in defense. He gets up and walks off towards the basement. "Dad is coming back now. I'm going to change."
"It's ok Sunny. He didn't mean to scare you." Xianghua says trying to comfort the poor wolf boy.
"H-how do you know my name? Chela did you tell her?" He asks looking from girl to girl. "I told her. Now quit being a crybaby. I thought you said you were an alpha's son." Chela says. They go back to the living room and haul Zero to another bed in the infirmary. Sunny is sitting on the foot of the bed as Xianghua hooks Zero up to different equipment. "What happened?" He asks no one in particular. "Daddy found the three of you in the park and brought you home."Xianghua says while working. "What about that other girl?" He asks pointing at the other bed across the room. "That's Lola. She escaped from THIA, this big insane asylum outside town, and was chased by them up here. She hit the front door."
"She was in the loony bin? Shouldn't you just turn her back in?" Sunny asks shocked at the news.
"THIA has a habit of taking people who have powers not just those with mental issues. They've been after us for years." Xianghua says pulling up a chair. "What did Chela mean when she was talking about you being an alpha's son?" She asks.
"Oh, umm I used to be in a pack and my dad, his name's Serg, he was the alpha. I was his first son. They disowned me when I told them I was gay." Sunny says with his head hanging. "Hey, it's ok. We'll take care of you." Xianghua says while placing a paw on his shoulder. "Well, I'm going to go start fixing dinner." She gets up and starts to walk out closing the curtain around the bed behind her. "Xianghua?" Sunny pops his head out between the curtain looking shy. "Can I help?"
"Sure you can Sunny." Sunny brightens and comes bounding out behind her and they head down to the kitchen. Xianghua washes her paws and pulls some fresh beef out of the refrigerator. "Sunny, will you cut this into chunks for me please?" She asks whlie Sunny is washing his paws.
"Sure. What are we fixing?" He asks walking over to where Xianghua has already set out a cutting board and knife. "Stew." Xianghua replies pulling out a skillet and some olive oil. Once the pan is heating up she goes back to the refrigerator to find precooked green beans, corn, and stewed tomatoes. Then she goes to the pantry for carrots and potatoes. She gets out the big stew pot and fills it about a quarter of the way full of water and puts it on to boil.
"Chopping's done." Sunny says.
"Ok, the pan should be ready go ahead and start cooking the meat." Xianghua replies while starting to peel potatoes. Sunny goes over to the stove with the meat and puts some of the oil in the pan then he places the meat chunks in the pan. He puts the cutting board in the sink and washes his paws again then goes back to tend the cooking meat.
Xianghua continues peeling and chopping until she's finished with all five pounds of potatoes and two pounds of carrots. She takes the bowl they are in and dumps it into the now boilng water on the other stove. "Meat looks like its about done." Sunny says. He turns the oven on to warm.
"What is that delisious smell?" Flippy asks comming into the kitchen.
"Daddy!" Xianghua exclaims running up to him. "Sunny and I are making stew for dinner."
"Sunny eh. He might be able to help Jr. That boy definately needs some sunshine." Flippy says with a sigh.
"Thanks for taking me in Sir." Sunny timidly says while putting the finished meat on a plate and into the oven.
"Jeez, don't call me that! It makes me feel old. Just call me Flippy, everybody else in town does." Flippy says. Sunny takes the time to clean both the skillet and the cutting board, dries them and puts them away. About ten minutes later the carrots and potatoes are cooked and the rest of the ingredients go into the pot and it's put on to simmer. And about 30 minutes later it's ready to eat. Sunny calls everyone down while Xianghua spoons a portion into five bowls and sets them on the table. After everyone is finished Flippy handles the dishes. And everyone watches TV for a few hours before bed.
