OH SNAP! IT'S A NEW ONE! YUS! Lolz, sorry bit hyper on my end XD I had like what, 4 pieces of candy? Anyway~ I was planning on working on this story for a while but I never got the time especially with the two other stories I'm writing. I can assure you though that I am coming up with an ending for Painful Questions… It's just gotten to the point where I can't make up anymore of the plot without it sounding too cliché… So I hope you enjoy this FlakyXSplendid Story! Oh yeah, do review… because if you don't I might not update… I'm sorry it's had to come to this, but without anyone's opinion it becomes hard to come up with more story plots, and like fix problems in the story… Anyway enjoy! :D
My name is Flaky Spencer, I've lived in Happy Tree Town for over a year. It's a pretty peaceful town, there isn't much violence and the scenery is beautiful. I live with my roommate Petunia who continuously talks about a legendary hero named Splendid who lives here. I couldn't care less if this "Splendid" was real, that's my opinion about that stupid legend of hers.
"I keep telling you it's not a stupid legend! It's true!" Petunia whined as she saw what I was writing for my introduction essay. I looked at her mockingly, there's no way I would believe THAT story… I may be gullible, paranoid, and timid but I'm not THAT gullible.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't believe you Petunia… How can I believe that there is a Blue haired super hero living here? It's just not logical..." I sighed, seeming to make her pout even more. We've lived together ever since I moved here for college last year. If you wanted to know about a legend or myth about Happy Tree, she was the person to go to. She knew every legend and myth; I guess you could say she was obsessed with them. Especially the one about the blue haired superhero Splendid, she said that there's a romance in his legend…. Or something like that.
There was suddenly a knock at the door and Petunia quickly went to answer it. It was Pops, and apparently there was a new student behind him. He was holding his clipboard as he motioned me to approach them. The student behind him seemed shy at first, he continuously poked his head over Pops' shoulder to see who he was going to meet.
"Flaky, I'd like for you to say hello to your new roommate Splendid. He's just transferred from out of town." A new roommate?! I never heard of this! And seriously, sticking me with a guy? Isn't that a bad idea…? I looked at the new student, his hair was blue and he was wearing a red mask.
"It's a pleasure!" He bowed and quickly brought in his suit case, which seemed really small. Petunia gasped as she saw Splendid, ran up to him and gawked at him for at least 2 minutes. We all awkwardly stood there as she continued to stare at him.
"C-Could it be… Are you THE Splendid?! The Super hero?!" She sounded excited as she got up in his face investigating his very being. He quickly backed up and shook his head, trying his best to assure her that he wasn't.
"No, I'm not! He doesn't exist!" Finally! Someone who agrees with me, there are no such things as superheroes or super villains! Pops looked at Petunia with a glare letting her know that she had to quickly pack up and leave the dorm. Of course he told her that she was moved to the room right across from ours, where Giggles is currently living.
"W-Welcome… I'm Flaky Spencer… and you are….?" I held out my hand, but he just stared at me like as if it was hostile. He stood there for a minute not knowing what to do, and then he reached out his hand and shook mine.
"I'm Splendid…. It's a pleasure…" He seemed cautious of me, as if he was hiding something. I didn't pay it any mind and tried to start up a conversation with him. He seemed sort of distant though as he didn't want to be talked to. All the clothes he was unpacking out of his bag were the same sets of clothes. It was a blue sweat jacket, with matching pants and several red t-shirts. He folded them neatly and put them into the dresser.
"… What brings you to Happy Tree College…?" He paused for a moment, not knowing what to say. He looked at me but then continued to pack his clothes into the dresser. After he was done he walked over and sat down beside me on the bed.
"I came here to… I guess you could say escape…?" He looked off into the distance; he had the expression that he didn't want to say anything else, so I just left him alone. I continued working on my introduction essay for speech class, the only sound in the room was the sound of me typing away at the keyboard. Splendid looked over my shoulder time to time to see what I was writing, but he eventually went back to what he was doing.
Finally it was about time for dinner, so I stopped writing and was just about to leave the dorm. Suddenly Splendid grabbed my wrist as if he didn't want me to leave.
"W-What's wrong…?" He stared at me, he was sweating and pale. I seemed like he had a nightmare, but his grip was inhumanly strong. I felt like he was going to snap my wrist in half. When I looked closely at his eyes, they seemed to be glowing a faint red as if some sort of laser was going to shoot out of his eyes.
"S-Splendid that hurts! L-Let go!" I tried pulling at my wrist which only made Splendid's grip tighter. His hand wouldn't budge and it seemed like he was floating on the bed a little bit. It must have been my imagination; I have been up late working on my homework… I must be hallucinating because of fatigue…? Was it just me or did he seem like he was sick…? I quickly took my other hand and put it on his forehead.
"Splendid! Why didn't you tell me you had such a high fever! We have to treat it r-right away!" Luckily we were right next to my desk where I kept some medicine in case if I got sick myself. I nudged Splendid over to my desk, and then I opened the desk drawer and pulled out some medicine that would help with his fever.
"Here Splendid… Eat this…" It was one of those chewy capsules you could take in case if you didn't have water or food nearby… Splendid looked at it but didn't move, probably feeling too weak to do anything. I tried forcing him to eat it, but he moved away and kept his mouth shut…
"Stop being childish and eat it! Or else you'll get even worse!" I put the small pill between his lips and forced it into his mouth. He finally started chewing it; he also started to release his grip on my wrist. When I looked down, there was a large hand-sized bruise. I walked over to my dresser and found an arm cover and put both of them on, so it wouldn't seem suspicious. It was the middle of fall, so the temperature started dropping.
"I'll be back soon. I'm going to get you some food…" I looked back one more time before I walked out the door, making sure Splendid wouldn't go anywhere in his current condition. I quickly rushed to the snack shop to buy some dinner for both me and Splendid before the store closed for the night. Luckily I made it just in time and I was able to grab some salad, 2 burgers, a bag of chips, and 2 bottles of soda before they sold out.
I rushed back to the dorm to see that the door was still locked; the way I left it before I left Splendid alone. I opened the door, and to my surprise… Splendid was floating on the roof…. Wait a minute… FLOATING!? H-How'd he get on the roof?!
"S-Splendid? H-How'd you get up there?!" I stepped on the bed to try and reach for his hand so I could pull him down. I reached his hand and started pulling him down, but then he suddenly dropped on top of me, but luckily we both landed on the bed. Unfortunately we were in an awkward position! He was lying on top of me with his head lying on my chest. Soon enough his fever went down and he woke up.
"…? What's… this fluffy, soft…. OH MY GOD! I'm Sorry!" He quickly got off of me; his face was a bright red from embarrassment. I sat there in shock, just looking at him…. He was floating again, so I quickly locked the door as he watched me. I also ran over to the window and closed the blinds. I couldn't let him be seen like this, he probably kept this a secret for a reason.
"OK, you need to explain yourself! Why are you floating?!" He looked surprised, as if he was surprised that I knew something. He looked down and realized what he was doing. He floated down to the ground with a stunned look. Before I could say anything else, he quickly flew over and covered my mouth
He looked out side the blinds to see if anyone was watching. I looked at him, then he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and stared me in the eyes. His eyes were glowing a slight red again…
"How much do you know!?"
"I only saw you floating…" I fidgeted while I sat on the bed. Splendid stared at me but then he sighed. He smiled and then patted my head. He sat in the air and was about to explain everything to me when he noticed the food.
"Oh, we should eat huh? Here." He handed me the other burger while he was just starting to eat his. I looked at it, and then I took it… I supposed I could ask him to explain what happened after we eat something… He took the bag of chips and quickly opened it. He passed the bag over to me to see if I wanted any. I shook my head and continued to eat my burger. It was weird, to see that he was floating in the air, and now we're suddenly eating right after the event…
"S-So… H-how is it that you can fly… or float…?" Splendid looked up surprised, for he had forgotten that he was going to talk to me about that. He sat in the air a pondered the question for a little bit. Then he nodded, and started to speak.
"Well, not only can I fly… I have super strength, laser vision, and some other powers… Oh, do you know that legend about that blue haired hero… Well that's me… I'm THAT Splendid." He tugged at his red mask a bit to wipe some sweat off. HE was a super hero… Does he seriously think I'm that stupid…? Actually, that would explain all the weird stuff that happened a little while ago…
"A superhero… huh… It's hard for me to believe… but I guess that would explain everything…" I paused for a moment when I heard Splendid laugh. He had a carefree smile and started floating towards me. He put his hands on my shoulder and kept smiling.
"Okay! Now that we have that settled, I need you to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this. I don't want it getting out that a super hero lives in a college dorm." I nodded and laughed that he was upside down. Suddenly my laptop pinged, letting me know I had a new message. I sat in my chair and opened the e-mail.
Attention all students, we are hereby to inform you that all classes will be suspended for 3 months for winter vacation. We hope you all have a wonderful vacation and that you'll stay safe. All assignments are due on the day classes begin. If you have any questions contact the front office or your professor for more information. Also one more announcement, if you have not picked up your missing items from the front office, they will be donated to charity for the local orphanage. Thank you for your time.
What?! All of a sudden school let's out for winter vacation in the middle of fall?! I thought we still have another week… The policies must have changed… I sighed and closed the computer. I sat back in the chair and looked up to see Splendid hovering directly over me…
"You… wouldn't have anything to do with the long break now would you?" I mocked, Splendid laughed and shook his head. I looked outside the window to see all the leaves falling off of their branches, making me feel nostalgic. I got out of the chair and started gathering clothes to take a shower.
"W-Where are you going…?" Splendid blushed slightly when I pulled my underwear from the dresser. This is why it's a bad idea to put a girl and a guy in the same room… I went to grab my towel and Splendid then showed a face that he understood what I was going to do. Since each dorm has a shower I decided to use ours for once, since Giggles always took hours just to take a shower, I had to always go to the swimming pool showers…
"Whatever you do Splendid, do not open the door okay? The lock to our bathroom's broken, and isn't supposed to get fixed until the next month…" I didn't know why I was telling him this, so I put a sock on the door just to be sure he knew not to open the door. He nodded, slightly flustered, and decided to read one of the many books on the book shelf.
I let the water run a little bit so I wouldn't have to start my shower off with cold water. I started taking off my clothes when I noticed there was a bruise from when Splendid landed on top of me. It wasn't big but it was noticeable… Some of it hid under my bra so I was assured that it wouldn't stand out as much… I took the rest of my clothes off and went into the nice hot shower.
It felt great to actually have a good shower now that Giggles wasn't always hogging the bathroom. The pool showers don't have warm water so they're always ice cold. The water flowed down making it look somewhat hypnotic. What if like could be like water…? Calm and still, but then there wouldn't be any fun in that… It's always good to have just a little chaos in your life to spice it up… I supposed I could say the same as with the events with Splendid… Now that I look back at it, it's actually pretty funny…
I start lathering the shampoo into my hair; being wild and all tangled it was hard to not get my fingers caught in it. I pulled my fingers out of it a couple times and strands of my hair came out as I pulled. I whimpered in pain, and then I heard a laugh outside… Then it struck me… What if…Splendid had X-ray vision and can see me…! I quickly finished up and put on my clean clothes and bursted through the door… And Splendid was up against the wall, with a look of despair on his face…
I sighed and walked over to him and glared. "How much did you see… Splendid…" He could definitely tell there was malice in my voice as he quickly scooted back to the wall. I quickly turned away and went to read a book to get my mind off of him.
This is going to be a long three months…. I sighed and continued to read.
That actually came out a little better than I thought! :D I had the plot for it but for some reason it got lost in my bag… Like seriously I looked everywhere for it. I at least remembered part of it. But the start is what makes the difference… XD and my exams are finally starting this week… And on top of that I caught a cold. So like my brain is all messed up, and crazy… and we also went Christmas shopping earlier… So we baught like games… And ironically I found a limited edition copy of Steins Gate… :D Anyway I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of a new story.
Splendid: REVIEW!
Flaky:… Quiet down… I'm trying to read my book…
Splendid: B-but… :(
