Stripesthetiger11 here with not a new chapter, but a new story! I told you I'd have a new story soon. Now, this story revolves all around Shifty, but I am still accepting OCs. No more OCs once I enter the third chapter.

I decided only to do two stories at a time, so once either this story or "Insanity" is done, I will immediately go to another story, which I'm kinda wanting to wright right now.

Now Shifty, would you mind telling our readers the disclaimers? *holds a pistol up to Shifty's head*

Shifty: stripesthetiger11 does not own anything besides her own OCs. Please don't hurt me.

Now on with the story!

I looked out my window at the freakish panther that was talking to the town so called "genius," Sniffles. The front half of her body was white, while the back half was a light gray. The oval on her belly was also a light gray, and her packman pupils were a light blue.

"Who is that chick, anyways?" I asked my twin brother, Lifty. He got off our crappy couch and stood beside me, looking at the panther.

"Oh her?" He asked. "That would be Mirrors. She's new here." I smirked. "Seems like a freak to me," I said. "And she is. Do you know where she lives?" Lifty asked me. I shrugged. "At the fair, in the mirror house, without furniture! No chairs, TV, tables, she doesn't even have a bed! She's just surrounded by mirrors!"

I shrugged. Although that was strange, we've had stranger. A superhero living in a giant metal acorn, a marmot trapped in ice living in a giant snow globe, and even a bear living in a giant metal freezer.

"She's probably a lunatic like Flippy or Lammy," I said, withdrawing from the window. "You don't know that. She might be nice," Lifty said. I sighed.

Lifty disagreed with almost every choice I made. I used to think that since we were twins we would agree with almost everything, but boy was I wrong. Although I hated to admit it, Lifty looked exactly like me. So much like me, that it was disturbing to others and even me. That's why I wore the hat, to make it look like we were different, but we're not.

Well in appearance, we look the same, but it's different in personality. Lifty was always the kinder, softer twin, which effected greatly on our thieving sometimes. Of course, there have been times where I myself would screw up and get us killed, but it was mostly him.

Sometimes, I think it would be best if we weren't twins, or even related at all.

"So, did you hear the news about Sniffles?" Lifty asked me. "What? He finally got a girlfriend?" I joked, crashing on our worn couch. Lifty sighed in annoyance and flicked me in the head.

"No fur for brains, didn't you hear about Sniffles' new invention?" He asked me. I searched through my head to see if I could recall an invention. "Oh yeah, the weird time machine thing. Isn't it just a giant washing machine?"

"Well yeah, but he was able to create a new one, but in small ray gun form," Lifty responded. "But that's not the best part. A few Tree Friends were able to get word around to a couple of other cities that Sniffles built a time machine, but now it's all over the county! They're saying that Sniffles' machine might change history forever. A few well known news reporters are coming to town tomorrow. Sniffles will present the ray gun and demonstrate what it can do. Three days after that, the reporters will leave and soon the whole world will know that time travel is possible, and Happy Tree Town will become famous!"

I sat there for a bit, processing the whole thing before smiling. "Yeah, that is great. But what if we stole it?" I asked. It was a joke, but Lifty took it seriously. "Shifty, you are not going to steal that thing. But if you do, I'm not helping," He said. I gave him a curious look.

"What do you mean by 'you're not helping'?" I asked. "I mean that I am done with stealing," He exclaimed. I jumped up from the couch. "You can't do that!" I exclaimed. "That's what we've done our whole lives!"

"And it ends here!" Lifty exclaimed. "Now listen. I'm going to go out and get a job, and I want you to go out and get a life!" And with that, my brother left out the front door.

I sighed and thought to myself for a few minutes, and then I walked out the door. I made sure to lock it, even though Lifty and I were- I mean I was the only thief in town.

I crossed the street, not even bothering to look both ways. I started thinking to myself, but those thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my guts splattering all over the windshield of a milk truck.

*Epic face*

I hoped you like it! This was great! Oh, and the idea for Mirrors came from me watching the movie "Dark Mirrors." It's just that she's not evil. Yep, I've made her an official OC! *happy panda*

Anyways, I'm pretty sure you want to send in your OCs THROUGH PM *hint hint* so I can use them. Here's the info.
