Chapter 1


"I swear! One day Flippy will get it! And when he does i'm going to laugh soo hard!" Giggles said. Once again Flippy flipped out and sliced off Handy's arm...again. We heal fast. And we get "killed" a lot. If we get our important organs taken out we create heathier ones to replace the dead one. We only die if we are really old. I am now 16 years old. My best friend is Giggles (the one talking to me right now). Flippy is this squirel that "kills" everyone around him if something reminds him of the war that he fought in when he was 12. It really hurts. "Flakey? Flakey? FLAKEY? Are you paying attention?" Giggles yelled at me as i dosed off. "N-No-I mean-Y-Yes! I mean! Uh! What i meant was...I was just thinking..." I studdered. "Hey girls!" Lumpy said as he passed by us with a bag over his shoulder. Lumpy was a moose that was 22 years old now. He was very clumsy. And if Flippy didn't "kill" you, he did. I noticed that the bag was bloody red at the bottom. Lumpy's hands were also stained bloody red. "Hey Lumpy. What's in the bag?" Giggles asked for me. "Flippy." Well that shocked us both! "How did you do it?" Giggles asked. "Nocked him out with a certain shot while he was eating and put him in the bag. He was on another rampage. Almost "killed" Toothy if it wasn't for me! So i'm going to lock him up for a little bit!" Lumpy explained. "Finally! Some peace and quite now!" Giggles sighed. "You guys! Don't treat him like that! He just acts the way he does becuase the war scared him!" I said, trying to defend him. It was true. In fact once before he went to the war we hung out on the beach for the day and became friends. Giggles doesn't approve of it, though. "Why on earth do you defend him?" she yelled. Then the bag started moving 5 seconds after she yelled that. "I think you woke him up..." Lumpy whispered. Giggle ran away as fast as she could, knowing how mad he will be when he gets out. Lumpy screemed when the bag started looking like something was punching it. He screamed, dropped the bag and ran. I stood there like an idoit. Was i going to "die"? Flippy came out holding is head. "What happened?" he asked tiredly. "Nothing, Flippy, Nothing happend. But do you want to come to my place for sandwitches?" I asked him. "Sure! But why are my hands bloody again?" he asked. "I don't know...maybe you got ketchup on your hands!" I said, lying. I never want to worry him about his other side a lot so i was a fat liar. Well... a prickily one make that. We went to my house and i had him sit down while i made sandwitches. I didn't put in any toothpicks in our sandwitches so then it wouldn't give him another thing to kill me with (just in case...). I didn't turn on the TV in case a war movie was on. I was always supper careful around him too. But today i was going to ask him the one question i was scared to ask. "Uh...Flippy..." I started. "Yeah?" "Uh...what got you so scared when you were at the War?" His eyes grew wide as i finished the question. I was scared he was going to flip and tried to "kill" me. "Well you see...uh...I killed EVERYONE around me in the war. And my borhter was just to close to my target. And I killed everyone on my team. It was crazy. Now every time it feels like i'm back at the war...I "kill" everyone..." he explained. "Oh..." "Yeah..." I stood up and took my plate into the kitchen and placed on the counter. "Flippy, just remember. The war is over...it always will be over. The only people that want you dead are already dead..." I yelled over to him. "I know...my pschyatrist told me already that last week...but it isn't halping much..." he said quietly enough for me to hear. You should really try to stop yourself form killing everyone though..." "I do but it's too hard..." I sighed quietly as i thought about how i am now the only one willing to have him with in 20 feet of me. Everyone tries not to remind him of the war if he is near them and they can't leave. But if he enters a restraunt a lot of people leave. But sometimes his killing streaks are good. One time these two raccoons were robing his house and he put tons of traps up since they tied him up and i guess he was tied up during the war. But he killed one of them with a cookie and the other...the other...uhg i forgot how. And right. Um...so yeah...he killed them and if you get killed by him it takes weeks to heal back to normal. And after the two healed they were thrown in Jail for robbing him in the first place. And even though it hurts like heck when he is killing you it looks prettty cool if it isn't happening to you. He comes up with the coolest ways to kill someone with using normal stuff. After we he finished his sandwitch we went to the carnival since he volunteered to work at some of the stands. It was going fine until he was working at the thing where you hit it really hard and it rings the bell. See here right by him they had the gay plane ride you used to ride when you were 5 years old. They opened the ride 5 minutes after he started...and they sounded like real planes...too real though. He went nuts and killed everyone on the ride. I felt bad for each and every one of them. Flippy jumped off and looked at me with those crazy green eyes. "Flippy! Wake up!" I yelled. Luckly he heard me and shook his back to normal. "Huh? Why are my hands dirty? *looks up at planes* OMG! Did i do this?" he screamed. "*sigh* Yes. Come on. Lets go," I said. We walked quietly as people looked at him with fear and at me with shock. My cheeks were getting redder each step i took. "I'm sorry for ruining your day Flaky..." he apologized as we were outside the gate to the Carnival. "Flaky! Can i have a word with you...alone?" Giggles yelled over to me as she ran up to them. "Uh...sure..." I said. She pulled me aside and far enough so Flippy couldn't hear us. "What is your problem Flaky?" she whispered. "What?" I asked. "Flippy flipped out and killed people on a simple plane ride and yet you breath near him?" she whispered loudly. I looked over at Flippy. He was drawing in the dirt with a thin stick. "You don't have that mean about his little...outbursts..." i said, trying my hardest to defend him. "Flippy is going to flip out on you one day and on that day i will point at you say, 'I told you so!'. Then your going to be scared for the rest of your life of him and you'll get over it and knowing him it will not be a fast and easy kill!" she said. "He wouldn't kill the only peerson on this planet that would come near him!" i whispered loudly. I couldn't stand this anymore. I had this type of talk everyday now. But it was annoying. "Let's go Flippy," I said to him. "I know you guys were talking about me..." he said. Oh god. He heard us! We went to his house quietly. It was nicely painted green with an army feeling to it. It smelled like him too. I always loved that smell. "Flippy...are you ok?" I asked as i noticeed he stopped at his doorway. "Y-Yeah...it's just that...I want to know something..." he started, "Why are you so nice to me...?" "Because i'm your friend!" I said. "Oh...I just wanted to know...especialy since my other side likes you too..." he said. "He doesn't even like me...so you must be pretty dang special..." he said. My phone began to ring after he said that. Giggles. I let the phone ring until it said 1 missed call. His phone began to ring then. He answered it sadly..."Oh hi Giggles...Y-No she's not here right now. She just left...NO! I told you! She just left! Oh...it's an emergency...? *sigh* One sec..." he said to the other side. He handed it to me and i held it up to my ear. "What now Giggles?" I asked. "Flaky! Thank God! Some guy just called looking for you two! I don't know what his problem was but he said it was ergent!" Giggles yelled. "Oh god! Tell me the phone #!" I said into the phone. She listed off the phone number and i dialed it into my own phone. "Thanks! Thanks Flippy for letting me use your phone!" I said to the two of them. I handed him his phone back and pressed the call button into my phone and let it call the person. "Hello Flaky," the other side said. It was a male voice. But i couldn't reconize the voice. "Who is this?" i asked. "An old pal of Flippy's." "Then why did you look for me?" "Because he loves you."
