A/N I am very sorry I have been dealing with so much in last Several of weeks I couldn't write for a while, but I'm back now and I should be able to update a little frequently, and also working on a couple more stories I always wanted to try writing. Any way Enjoy this little multi-chaptered Mystery.
It was a normal day in Happy Tree Town, Belize was starting to warm up more to his sister, he was shocked to learn that she was sworn to secrecy about their parents, but Belize was determined to get some information.
"Aww, but 'Big Brother' I don't want to say anything, the people in that place will get mad at me." She then frowned and looked around, Belize was a little paranoid now about the fact they were spying on them, even if its just his little sister they were listening in on, he couldn't divulge any information about his plans for anything, just in case anything outside of the borders happen.
"Okay Rose, you don't have to tell me about names, or anything I would just like to know what they look like… is that okay to give?" Rose smiled a little, "Well Mommy has a dark elegant purple fur, with a lovely pink stripe down the center of her back and a solid white mask. Daddy is a sky blue fur with a black mask and black stripe going across his waist."
Belize smiled as he put the information down in a couple of notes. A ringing sound was heard, Belize then quickly looked around for a calendar and a clock, he noticed the date was Saturday April 25 he then put his hand on the calendar and started to count down the days until he throws a surprise birthday party for Rose. He grabs Rose's hand and takes her out of the room.
"Sorry Rose, but I need to make a few calls, go outside and find Splendid." She looked down at the ground sad, "What's wrong?" Rose sighed, "I don't want to look for Splendid, he's out on a fishing vacation just to stay away from me for a few days." Belize's ears perked up fast.
"Wait… Splendid isn't in town at all for how long?" He grabbed Rose in a hug and nearly shook her to death. Once she stopped feeling a little nauseous from the shaking she responded, "I think he left yesterday, so he shouldn't be back any time soon." Belize started to ponder the thought. He then had an idea to see if it was completely true that Splendid, ran away just to stay away from Rose for a while.
Belize went outside, pulled and tugged on a few branches trying to find a good one, once he did, he pulled it off of the tree and then went back inside with it, he then grabbed a knife and started to whittle the branch, once he finished he went looking for a thin, flexible, item that won't break too easily.
Once he found it he started to tie a single strand to each end of the branch and then went back outside got a random branch and then whittles it to a shaft and a sharp point, once he finished that he went to the closet and grabbed a kerosene container, and a rag. Once he got those items he dipped the rag in the kerosene making sure it was heavily soaked, then he stuck the sharp point of the whittled branch through the rag and then set it on fire.
He took aim outside just to find something, once he acquired his target and pulled the string back and the little arrow he had and shot it into the building across the street, which just so happens to be Petunia's home.
After he released the flaming arrow he quickly untied the string and destroyed the bow, and then quickly hid the kerosene container back in the closet, and acted like he doesn't know what happened.
Belize then sat and waited with Rose outside the door wondering what he was doing and what all the noise was. Belize just brushed it off like he was calling a few business investors and they sort of were pissing him off so the noise was just him calming down.
She sighed and then went down stairs and started to watch the television, Belize went down with her once he was down the stairs "Hey Rose, I'm going out to talk to a few friends, about a little… event… that I am going to host and I want to make sure they will attend." Rose looked at Belize. "Big brother, please be careful… Lammy and Giggles accidentally set the Burger restaurant on fire, and are trying to put it out, without Splendid's help."
Belize quickly turned his head to her, "Wait, what?" Rose sighed a little annoyed, "Big Lammy and Giggles burned down Mrs. Petunia's business, and they are trying without help from Splendid." Belize mentally face palmed, and then tried to act like he didn't do anything.
He went to the door and the second he opened it, the sound of wood popping, crackling, and creaking. He just stood there staring at it. Rose got up and went over to the door with Belize. "Whoa… Big brother, Mrs. Petunia is having a terrible day today with fire." Belize just nodded "Apparently." He then sighed and walked outside completely ignoring the fire and walking down to the restaurant to give the invitations to Rose's surprise party.
It took about twenty minutes walking, but Belize finally got to the restaurant, he found everyone in town, except Rose, was there trying to put out the fire at the restaurant, he walked up to Pop and Cub first, he handed them the card and the both took it read it.
"Sorry Belize, but we might not be able to make it." Belize looked a little upset "Why?" He asked as he was looking at the next card that had the next person he had to find. Pop replied, "Well Cub is going to visit an old friend of his, I think he's getting a bit bored around here without any other little children to play with." He then looked at Cub who was just happily looking around trying to grab the fire.
"Well if anything changes, just join whenever you can." Belize smiled Pop nodded and then walked off with Cub. Belize looked at the card and saw that it was none other then Kayser as the next one he could give it to. He was a little upset, but he did want everyone to be there to watch his little sister just to help see if she will turn out like him almost exactly, or is she going to have the nicer life path, and calm down.
Belize was hoping the calming choice, but then he remembered he had to deliver them all before he forgets, Belize ran through the crowd and saw Kayser was one of the fire-fighters trying to put out the flames. Belize ran up to him "Wait I thought your lively hood was being a scientist, what are you doing?" Kayser just holding a hose in his hand shouted to Sniffles to attach the hose to the fire hydrant.
Belize then grabbed the hose from Kayser and asked him again. Kayser pushed him down, grabbed the hose again and started to spray down the nearest flame from the building, Belize got up and just tore up the card and looked at the next one seeing it was Sniffles, he sighed and quickly ran over to Sniffles.
"Hey Sniffles, would you like to come to my little sisters, birthday party?" Sniffles smiled, "Does anteaters love to eat ants?" Belize smiled, "Of course they do." Sniffles laughed, "Great, then I can study Rose a little more…" He looked at Belize and then shuddered a little "I mean…." Belize held his hand up and stopped Sniffles from saying anything else. "Just stop talking, man… You can't recover from what you said that easily, and I don't care, do experiments, but do not make any of them kill her or I will be sure you won't like the outcome." Belize then handed him the card and looked at the next name.
