Chapter 1

/ / /

Liz was just waking up from a good night's sleep when Al stormed into her room, yelling at her.

"OH MY GOD! WAKE THE HELL UP! MOM IS GONE FOR THE DAY AND NOW I'M IN CHARGE!"

He ripped the covers off of her and pushed her off of the bed.

"HEY! What the HELL, Al?! What the FUCK was that for?!" she screamed, rolling around.

He started laughing as Liz was tearing up on the floor, his belly fat jiggling.

"Nothing! But what are YOU gonna do about it, kid?" he asked, as if daring her to do something.

"I'm… gonna…" she looked around, thinking of what she could do.

Al continued to laugh as he watched his little sister on the floor, his belly fat still jiggling away.

"I'm… gonna… AHHHH!" she screamed, as she got up and ran for the door.

Al grabbed her tail right before she could exit out of the room.

"LET ME GO, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" she screamed as she struggled to get out of his grip.

"Ha, yeah. Let you go, so you can do whatever the hell you want? Yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen!" he said sarcastically, tightening his grip on Liz's tail, enjoying every second of his sister's struggle to get free.

"You… IDIOT!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she turned around and attacked him.

Al was surprised as she whirled around and dug her claws deep into his face, making him let go.

"OOOWWWW!" he screamed as blood pooled out if his face.

Liz finally was set free of his grip and ran out of the room and almost fell down the stairs as she was running so fast, then bolted out the front door.

"GET BACK HERE, YOU BITCH!" he angrily yelled as he stumbled for the stairs, still bleeding.

As she left the house she yelled out "I'M TELLING MOM YOU BIG FAT JERK!" as she slammed the door right in his face, hitting him hard in the nose.

He tore open the door just to see Liz running away from the house at top speed… or as fast as chipmunks could run. He knew he couldn't catch up, so he just slammed the door shut and returned to his day of food and video games, angry.

"She'll be back… and when she does come home, she'll be in a WORLD of pain!" he yelled out to no one, as he walked back up the stairs to his room, ass fat bouncing with each step he took as he ascended up the staircase.

Liz kept looking back as she ran, farther and farther away from their burrow home near the outskirts of the forest. She kept running and running until she accidentally ran into a tree when she wasn't looking ahead.

"Ow…" she said, rubbing her head.

She looked up at the tree she had just crashed into: a big, tall, beautiful fir tree with branches extending from the bottom, all the way to the top in a spiral, kind of like tree branch stairs, leading to the small nut hole entrance near the very top. She immediately recognized who's tree it was and smiled as she started climbing it.

When she finally reached the top, she saw the entrance, knowing that the inside was MUCH bigger than the outside, even bigger than her small burrow home from where she had come from. She smiled as she knocked on the wood beside the entrance to the big tree. She smiled even wider when she saw who came out of the nut hole.

"Hey, Liz! What's up?" the squirrel smiled as she asked Liz.

Liz's smile faded when she remembered what had made her come all the way to Lee's tree.

"Not good, NOT good, NOT GOOD!" Liz said, looking around, looking for Al, thinking he may have followed her.

"What's wrong, Lizzie? Lee asked, concerned.

"Oh, nothing, nothing… except my brother is going to KILL me!" she yelled as she started to panic.

"Whoa, calm. Down. No one's laying a PAW on you with me around!"

Liz looked up at Lee.

"Thank you, Lee… but uh, can I please come in?!" she started to get more and more nervous every second that passed.

"Of course! No one's home right now, so we have the whole place to ourselves!" Lee said as she moved aside to let Liz in.

Lee slammed the nut hole hatch shut behind her and locked it.

"There. No one can come in, now! So, what happened?" Lee asked Liz curiously.

"Now that we're safely inside, I can explain."

Lee sat down as Liz told her everything that had happened that morning.

"Ho-lee fucking NUTS! Did all that actually HAPPEN?!" asked an enraged Lee.

"YES!" Liz said, as she started to tear up. She then showed Lee her bruised tail from when Al had grabbed her.

Lee started a show of kickboxing moves into the air as she yelled "OOOH, I'D HATE TO BE HIM RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I'M GONNA KICK. HIS. TAIL!"

"Lee, no! Please, I don't want you getting hurt."

Lee looked down at Liz for a moment.

"Hurt? Lizzie, please! Just look at what he did to you! NO ONE hurts my friends and gets away with it! Especially you! Oh, he's gonna be sorry when I get through with hi-"

Liz cut her off. "Lee, no. I'll deal with him. He's MY brother…" she grabbed Lee and pleaded for her not to do anything. "Please, PLEASE don't do anything to him… just… not right now, okay?" she asked with watery eyes.

Lee stared down at her for a minute before replying "yes, but you're MY friend. Okay, I won't do anything to him… right now. Okay?"

Liz nodded as she let go of her friend.

To get Liz's mind off of the matter, she quickly tried to change the subject.

"So, uh… what do you wanna do now?"

"Hmm, I don't know… hmm… what do you wanna do?"

"Whatever YOU wanna do!" Lee chuckled.

"Well, it has to be inside the tree for now… um… can we... watch a movie?"

"Sure!" Lee said as they both walked to the basement of the tree to watch a movie.

As Lee started down the stairs to the basement, Liz stopped at the first step. "Wait…" she called out for Lee.

"What?" Lee asked as she stopped near the bottom step."

"Um… do we really have to go in the basement? It's… scary… down there."

Lee looked up at her from the basement. "Ah, come on, Lizzie… there's nothing down here to be afraid of."

"Oh… okay…" Liz shivered as she started the descent down the basement stairs, slowly… carefully…

As she finally stepped off of the final step and onto the floor, she looked around. "I'm scared!" she blurted out.

Lee grabbed her paw. "It's okay, Liz. I'm here."

They held paws as Lee led her to the sofa couch and giant television.

Liz sat down while Lee brought out some movies to choose from. "So, here are the movies… which one ya wanna watch?" she asked as she held up her 3 movies.

"Hmm… umm, that one." Liz pointed to the one on her left.

"Okay!" Lee chirped as she put the movie in the player and sat down beside Liz.
