This is just a little opening because everybody's having babies with everybody! So I figured I could post a little thingy for you guys (and myself) to refer to for the kids and of course I'll explain with their entrance but after that it's names only.
Flippy Jr. aka Filly- Green bear Flaky and Flippy's son [age- 18]
Ruby- Red porcupine, Flippy and Flaky's daughter [age- 14]
Cub- Orange bear, Pop's son [age- 18]
Crafty- Blue beaver, Petunia and Handy's daughter. [Around Filly's age]
Noggin- Yellow Chipmunk, Cuddles' and Giggles' genius son. (who knew they had that gene) [around Ruby's age]
Starr- Orange fox with yellow hair (isn't that cute), Disco Bear and Foxy's daughter. [Around Filly's age]
Swipy- Blue raccoon, Nini and Lifty's son. [around Ruby's age]
Swifty- Green cat, Mimi and Shifty's daughter. [around Ruby's age]
Witty- Blue moose, Lumpy's neice [around Filly's age] (don't worry she hates Lumpy and she's a major smartass)
Caramel- Orange squirrel, Nutty's son [around Ruby's age] (he met a nice orange cookie coated meercat for funsies sake and Caramel is obsessed with fruit)
(Shady and Cherry didn't have kids or more so Flaky's epic FALCAWN KIIIACCK! [falcon kick don't know it, Google it] to the crotch made him infertile...for now maybe I don't know) and please remember that Fliqpy is both Evil AND Flippy.
Anyway here we go!
oOoO Filly OoOo
"Filly! Ruby! Wake up it's time for school!" Mom called from the kitchen, the smell of breakfast already filled the house. I looked over at my alarm clock, 6:45 a.m. I rolled out of bed relishing my last dream, I was on a date with the most beautiful girl in the world. A sudden noise startled me and I turned to face Ruby, my younger sister, her eyes were sharp but bore soft features having been around her all her life I've gotten used to looking past the feature she gained from our father.
"Fhil do you have an extra pencil bag I can use?" She asked, I looked down at her and smiled she looked exactly like our mom only she had our dad's sharp eyes. I opened my drawer and handed her an empty pencil case, she took it and walked out of my room.
Downstairs my mom and dad were in the kitchen, my mom was shorter than me and my dad was taller. I look like my dad in fact they say I'm a spitting image of him, at the table I sat across from him and drummed my hands on the table. He looked at me with cutting golden eyes, I sucked in a breath and looked away nervously he just chuckled. When I was younger I was very timid I'm not as timid but I feel more comfortable around my family.
"Just like your mom." He looked from me to her and she turned around to give him a look.
"Leave Filly alone, Evil." She pouted, he shrugged and I looked at her.
"Mom please just call me Fhil." I pleaded looking at my dad in the corner of my eye, he looked at me interested. Mom stopped cooking and smiled at me.
"No matter how old you get I'll always call you Filly." I sighed and laid my head on the table, I heard Ruby run in and plop down in a chair while mom laid out plates.
"Ruby come help me." Mom called, I heard Ruby get up and I picked up my head to find dad still staring at me. This time I held his gaze, the entire time Ruby and mom laid out the meal neither of us wavered. My armpit itched from nervousness until he blinked, I smiled.
"What?" He smiled back with his eyes fading to the normal emerald color we shared.
"You blinked." He laughed out loud.
"I don't think Evil was having a staring contest with you, he was sizing you up." Dad explained digging into his food.
"Why doesn't dad ever size me up?" Ruby whined I laughed.
"There's a height requirement." She glared at me and threw a biscuit, I let it hit me in the face and she giggled.
"Guys don't food because then it's utensils and all we need is another table fight. Now off to school Filly take your sister please." Mom asked. Ruby and I got up, said goodbye and left for school.
I dropped her off and went to Happy Tree High I wasn't there for five seconds when a sudden weight was on my back, ninjas came to mind and I almost ran but Cub spun me around.
"Hey Fhil calm down it's me, I forgot about not sneaking up on you," Cub apologized scratching his head, "you'd think that after last time I'd remember." He laughed, the last time Cub snuck up on me I bashed him in the face with my math book from shock. Cub's hair was as long as mine, orange hair rested on his shoulders while hazel eyes gleamed at me.
"Anyway, w-what's going on Cub?" I asked still being wary of ninjas.
"Dude, my legs are on fire! Sometimes I hate body building but I think without it I'd be fat and lazy." He chuckled rubbing his stomach.
"Pfft, you're already lazy Cub." A voice commented, Cub and I turned to face Crafty she was a blue beaver with short pony-tailed blue hair and matching ocean blue eyes. Cub smiled at her and waved.
"H-hey Crafty." He greeted, she raised an eyebrow at him and chuckled at the same time Filly did. He knew Cub liked Crafty and she knew but he didn't know she knew he also didn't know his feelings were very obvious.
"So Crafty what are you guys working on in woodshop?" I asked her, she opened her mouth to answer then waved to a blue female moose, Witty, she was Lumpy's neice. Her tall frame leaned against a locked with long blue hair covering half her face and one thickly eye-linered blue eye is revealed. And she's talking to the girl of my dreams, Starr, her blonde hair is cut short in the back with long bangs in her face swaying above big hazel eyes. Witty and Starr both looked over and Starr's eyes and mine locked for a moment but I blushed and looked away.
I hate being shy.
xXxX Ruby xXxX
I walked into Happy Tree Middle with my usual look of indifference and met up with Noggin at his locker. He was a yellow chipmunk with yellow eyes hidden behind thin rim glasses he noticed me and walked to meet me half way as his cheeks went pink. I cocked my head to the side and examined him.
"H-hey Ruby what's up?" He asked I smiled at him and we walked through the halls as they practically cleared for us, or rather, for me. I come off as intimidating so I scare a lot of people away from me, I looked at the ground and kept walking.
"Same old same old." I answered to the floor, he nudged me.
"Ignore them you're awesome, way awesome." He encouraged, I smiled at him.
"You're the awesome one, I've killed you who knows how many times and you still want to be my friend."
"Hey I like it rough." He joked, I punched his arm lightly and laughed.
"Sicko, ready for that math test?" I asked, he adjusted his glasses and straightened up.
"Most definitely."
"And P.E?" With that question his ego bubble popped.
"T-that's a different story." He explained I giggled and spotted my only other friend, Swifty, she was a green cat with boy cut hair and blue eyes. She was currently breaking into some random students locker and rummaging through their stuff.
"Swifty, you've been caught red handed!" I fake-police-bullhorned, she raised her hands in defeat and turned around.
"Ya caught me." She slammed the locker shut and looped her arm with mine. "Ya know my cousin Swipy?" She asked, Noggin and I nodded.
"Yeah I know him, he's in eighth grade right?" Noggin asked.
"Yup that's the one, he's been on my back so much lately so much. He's been a jerk ever since he started to hang out with that Caramel guy." She informed us and we knew who she meant, Caramel was supposed to be a high school sophomore but he failed twice.
"I hate that jerk always thinking he's better than everyone when he's dumbass that can't even pass." I said in agitation feeling anger in the pit of my stomach. There was a deep 'ahem' sound from behind us and a deep voice followed.
"You got somethin' to say to me, runt?" Caramel asked with his apparent new friend Swipy, I turned to him with bright red eyes. He was a large orange squirrel and Swipy, a blue raccoon.
"Why would I waste my breath on an idiot?" I shot back with a cold voice, he recognized my eyes, or moreso my father's eyes and ceased towering over me. His eyes flickered from me to Noggin then back to me.
"Just keep my name out of your mouth."
"No problem, it leaves a bad after taste." I smiled as he walked away, Noggin was grabbing my arm and finally let go.
"Ruby! You can't do that, you're going to get in trouble one day." Noggin persuaded, I shrugged as Swifty agreed.
"Caramel is scared of me, just like everyone else…I don't have anything to worry about." I told my shoes, Noggin noticed my melancholy toned and elbowed me.
"I'm not scared of you, I'll take you on any day." I laughed and punched him lightly again as we walked to our class.
After the bell rang I sighed in relief internally because people weren't forced to be in my presence anymore and that thought saddened me as I thought of all the friends I could have if people just looked past what they saw in my damned eyes. Tears stung my eyes and I ran to the bathroom to cry in solitude.
'Oh, stop crying about everything and do something about it.' My inner voice said.
'I'm in no mood for you right now and I'm fine with the way things are.'
'Yeah, I see you're fine, you're fine. That's why you're crying your eyes out in a crappy restroom stall right? But everything is A ok.'
'Ok look, life isn't all peaches and cream and if I go kill every time something goes wrong to feel better, that makes me weak. Just like you.'
'You'll see, your friends aren't ever your friends they're all afraid of you anyway why don't you give them a reason to be?'
'Why don't you shut up?'
'Fair enough, but you'll see.'
I walked out of the bathroom still sniffling and grumbling under my breath when in the corner of my eye I saw a familiar yellow chipmunk cowering against lockers as an orange squirrel hassled him. I stomped over to them, grabbed Caramel's arm and flung him to the other side of the hall against the other lockers. He winced and grabbed his shoulder as he stood and I stepped protectively in front of Noggin. Caramel chuckled.
"Gonna let a girl fight your battles? You are weak, what are you going to do when your girlfriend is getting hit on my guys, let them? But what am I thinking it's not you'll have a girlfriend to begin with. Little yellow gaywad." He insulted, I ran at him, grabbed his head, and shoved his face into the vent on the locker until his whole head was a shredded mess.
When I turned back to Noggin he was walking away mumbling something to himself, I ran behind him.
"Noggin are you ok? Did he hurt you?" I asked but he continued walking, I reached out and laid a hand gently on his shoulder. He jerked away from me and turned on me with tears in his eyes.
"No! Just…no. Just stay away Ruby. Stay away…" He pleaded before running away from me…just like everyone else.
xXxX Flippy xXxX
I went to the mailbox and pulled out a literal wad of envelopes, with a sigh I walked back into the house and spotted Flaky outside in her garden. I wonder why she even bothers with it but if it makes her happy she can do whatever she wants. We still look as young as we did when we first got married, sometimes I wish we could really grow old together. I flipped through the mail sorting out bills from junk mail and found a letter from the United War Committee. Curious I opened it and read the enclosed letter quickly, immediately after the words registered I ran outside to Flaky.
"Pack your bags." She looked bewildered.
"W-what why?"
"Because we're going to Hawaii." I smiled at her.
Later I explained to her that in the letter they were having a banquet in Hawaii to honor the veterans and their family.
"You kept saying that we needed to take a vacation." I reasoned, she sat in the middle of her garden and looked at everything besides me.
Me, Flaky, and Hawaii. New prey and no interruptions when I spend time with Flaky. Evil smiled to himself.
I'll be there too, it's not all about you. I reminded.
Ugh, don't remind me.
"I know, but I meant with the kids. They only sent two tickets and I don't want to leave them here by themselves. They're still babies." Flaky told her grape vine I chuckled.
"Fhil is 18, you can't baby him forever."
"It's not babying, I'm…nurturing him he's a naturally sensitive soul."
"Flaky, he needs to be a man and what better way to have him learn is to trust him and Ruby with the house. I even talked to him about doing something like sports since he's got the appropriate build." She turned on me then and stood.
"You talked to him about it? Flippy, he could've taken what you said and looked way past what you actually meant. My poor baby! He's probably insecure about himself now, how could I let this happen!" Flaky ranted pacing back and forth then running past me into the house, I smiled and walked behind her.
"Flaky, Flaky calm down. He's stronger than you think, trust me, and I promise you he's fine you just need to stop babying him." I reassured, she was still going on. I hugged her and put a hand over her mouth.
"It'll be ok, look we'll ask them if they feel comfortable with us leaving and if they say yes then we'll go but if they say no then we'll stay. Okay?" I propositioned, she sighed and leaned against me.
"Fine."
oOoO Flaky oOoO
I made a large dinner and two cakes and good thing too; Ruby seemed depressed and vacant while Filly just stared at the table. I looked at my children with tears in my eyes then I looked over at Flippy and he was looking at them with the same concern in his eyes. I felt like the worst mother ever surely I did something, something I could've done.
Something happened at school. Flakes whispered, sometimes I forgot that she was still there but she was more instinctual than me so why now I opened my mouth to Ruby since she looked like she was hanging by a thread.
"R-ruby, did something happen at school today?" I asked her, she looked up at me and held my gaze, then we simultaneously broke out into tears.
"Noggin hates me because I killed Caramel when he was bullying him! J-just like everyone else, he ran! He ran from me!" Ruby cried out, I stopped crying and thought about the son of my best friends, Giggles and Cuddles, making my daughter cry and running from her, I looked over at Flippy and we was whispering to Filly but looked up.
"Ruby. Come with me." I bit, balling my fists and heading for the door suddenly the phone rang. I stomped over to it and looked at the I.D it was a call from Giggles' house.
"What…" I growled into the receiver, I heard an intake of breath.
"M-m-mrs. Flaky m-may I speak with R-ruby?" Noggin asked nervously, I snorted.
"Listen! If you think for one second that—" I began but Flippy took the phone from me and handed it to Ruby. She took it and began to talk to him mostly listening to his lame excuse, Flippy went back to Filly and I watched the conversation. One hint of she about to cry and I'd rip him to shred myself, I crossed my legs and looked for Ruby's distress.
"Ok, bye." She said and hung up, she turned to me with a smile and I slowly smiled back at her.
The rest of dinner was pleasant and Flippy had gotten Filly into a good mood again I smiled and handed each of my kids a nice big piece of cake. Flippy cleared his throat and started to talk.
"A letter came today to honor the veterans and their family with a trip to Hawaii, but they only sent two tickets." He explained, I swallowed and looked at Filly and Ruby they looked at each other and down at the dinner. I felt a smile tug at my lips suddenly happy that I made them a big meal, that'd be hard to give up and then Flippy continued.
"Your mom thinks you guys would rather her stay then go." Filly looked down at his plate.
Yes, look into the food. It's delicious, let it tantalize you. I urged.
"Well, yeah I guess she could take a break in Hawaii, she always makes us meals like this and cleans and she's worried about us. I'm fine with it." Filly said smiling at me.
Damn food!
"It's no trouble, I do this because I want to it's not a burden. R-ruby you need me here right?" I asked, she smiled at me.
"Have fun mom." I looked at them because I couldn't stand to look at the smug look I knew Flippy would wear, so eventually he got up and stood behind me.
"Aloha oi."
