[well… here I am, trying my hand at a romance story, nobody is paired yet so I may work with a blank slate. I will be goofing around will all kinds of pairings and finding the most interesting ones. This story will get very dramatic and chaotic eventually, do enjoy.]
Giggles awoke when the morning sun caressed her face. Her eyes blinked to block out the glare and she turned her head. After about a minute or so she yawned and stretched out. She was still somewhat groggy but managed to climb out of bed. She approached her dresser which held her perfume. She sprayed on a little bit and went down stairs.
"Morning mom, I'm going to Happy Tree Diner for breakfast" said Giggles grabbing a coin pouch. From her coat pocket that was hanging on a rack.
"Ok hun" said her mother as Giggles went out the door.
Giggles wasn't always at her mothers house but would occasionally stay over as she had been doing for the past couple of nights. She walked down the cobble path leading to the sidewalk sniffing the freshly planted flower variety on the sides of the path. She smiled happily as she skipped along towards down town. Across the street she noticed Cuddles and Toothy walking along the sidewalk geared up for a game of baseball. She also noticed handy working on a fire hydrant near them. He gave it a puzzled look and scratched his head with his nub. He then picked up a wrench with his mouth and banged on it just as Cuddles and Toothy got beside it. The second the wrench struck it it shot off. Handy was sent cascading into the air on the water spout as the hydrant launched into Toothy's mouth and stuck out the back of his head. Cuddles ran from the scene and stopped to look at it.
"Ahhh damnit! Now the teams will be uneven!" Cuddles shouted slamming his bat and glove to the ground.
Giggles sighed a disappointed sigh and shook her head.
"Hey Giggles, where you off to?" Cuddles asked as he ran over to her.
"I'm going to eat, would you like to join me?" giggles asked.
"Well my plans are pretty screwed for the time being so yea, let's go" said Cuddles walking beside her.
the two moved further into town and cuddles looked into the air.
"Look out" said Cuddles casually while grabbing Giggles and pulling her off to the side just as Handy came plummeting down and splattering where she was.
Cuddles happily took the brunt of the resulting gore splash for her.
"Hey, thanks for that Cuddles" said Giggles gratefully.
"Yea, no problem" said cuddles wiping off the blood and Handy chunks.
The two continued on downtown until the diner came into view. Before they entered however Cuddles took a side trip to a nearby fountain to wash off the gore. Afterwards he happily entered the diner with giggles. The two took their seats right up at the counter and they found that Petunia was working today.
"Morning Petunia" said Giggles.
"Morning Giggles" Petunia replied, "What'll it be?"
"I'll just have bacon and eggs with toast" Giggles replied.
"Get me a plate of pancakes and sausage and don't skimp put on the syrup" said Cuddles.
"Alright then… but you put the syrup on yourself, just don't use it all" said Petunia turning to the stove.
Giggles looked around at the other patrons and sighed with disgust when she noticed disco bear, hoping that he wouldn't notice her. Fortunately he had a massive breakfast sandwich sitting in front of him to keep him occupied. She looked up to the TV to see Russell sitting behind a desk in a news studio going over a list of today's tragedies. Suddenly the TV emitted a loud beeping noise and Russell began to talk about something else.
"Sorry viewers but it has just come ta my attention that there has been an emergency situation on an island just outside of Maple Tree Town. It appears that a nuclear power plant stationed on that island has just experienced a meltdown. Maple Tree Town has been obliterated by the explosion and radiation has spread far from the site. I have been told to inform ye not ta be alarmed. Sniffles had informed me that the radiation will not reach Happy Tree Town but he will monitor it's progress and keep ye posted so please standby"
The diner was silent yet the news didn't seem to effect them as profoundly as it may have to others.
"Damn, glad that wasn't us, we don't need another Zombie outbreak" said cuddles.
"Yea, it's weird seeing yourself as a walking corpse, wonder if anyone made it out of there alive" said Giggles.
"Well we can hope right, anyways looks like our food is ready" said Cuddles as Petunia approached them with their plates.
"Here you go you guys" said Petunia "So what do you think about the news?"
"Well I hope some of them got out ok, Russell didn't sound too sure about us being unaffected by it" said giggles cutting into an egg with her fork.
"Yea, well we've had worse" said Petunia returning to work.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine" said Cuddles giving a confident smile.
"Yea" Giggles said, nodding.
The two finished their meals but chose to hang around in case there was an update. Giggles and Cuddles ordered coffee to help pass the time. Moments later Disco bear finished his meal and noticed giggles. Food on his face he approached her with a slide.
"Hey Giggles" he said in his deep voice.
She looked at him through the corner of her eye.
"Wipe your mouth" she said handing him a napkin.
Disco's face turned red and he took the napkin and began wiping his mouth. Just as he was about to try again the news started again saving Giggles from Disco and Disco from Cuddles's dark stare.
"This be an update on the Nuclear meltdown. It appears that there will be a slight radiation enveloping the town, however thanks to numerous tests by Sniffles it appears that it is of an unknown type and has shown no harmful side effects. Sniffles is still testing it as it contains many unknown properties, we will keep you posted as the situation develops."
The room was silent again and everyone felt a little more uneasy.
"I'm going" said Giggles who rose from her seat.
"Is something wrong?" Cuddles asked.
Giggles didn't respond as she went out the door. Outside she looked around admiring the beauty of their town, something her and Petunia had contributed much to. She turned to the flowers in front of the diner, a project she had organized for the girls scouts. She felt very uneasy.
"What, are you afraid that radiation's gonna do something to us?" Cuddles asked leaving the diner.
"Not so much us, like Petunia said, we've had worse… this is the first time though the environment has ever been threatened like this, what if that radiation kills all the plants that make this town so pretty, all that work me and Petunia put into it" Giggles said feeling worse the more she spoke.
"C'mon Giggles, even if it did you and Petunia could plant it all again when the radiation disappears, we're not going anywhere. Heck I'll help you, and I'll gat Toothy to help too" assured Cuddles.
Giggles smiled, the thought of it all being lost seemed far less painful.
"You know I'm gonna hold you to that right" said giggles with her tone changing.
"Of course, I wouldn't tell you I'd help and not actually follow through with it, what kind of friend would I be" he said.
Giggles Smiled as flaky walked by with the new girl Lammy behind her.
"Hey Flaky, Lammy, sorry I didn't show up, Toothy died on the way over… and I sort of forgot you were waiting for us" said Cuddles.
"Oh no, that's ok, umm… we were just on our way back to my house, Lumpy told us about something on the news, there's gonna be radiation hitting the town soon, you guys should probably get home where it's safe" said Flaky, she seemed to be growing quite nervous.
"You know it's not much safer inside than outside right? besides, Sniffles says that it's harmless, the guys an egghead, he knows what he's talking about" said Cuddles.
"I watched a movie once about some people who took shelter in a basement during a nuclear fallout, they were safe there until they went outside" said Lammy.
"Then what do you do when your air runs out, or your supplies? I think it's a lot better to take our chances with Sniffles's research, besides, so what if it's bad. If it kills us then we come back to life, simple as that."
"Oh yea" said Lammy.
"Well, I guess so" said Flaky reluctantly listening to Cuddles.
"See we'll all be fine" said Cuddles.
[Well there's chapter 1 and there's a lot more on their way. I will be tossing pairs around a bit and taking suggestions if you wish. Keep me updated with interesting pairs as they present themselves in the story as well. I suppose I will take a few OC's as well but this will mostly take place from the female's perspectives due to there being few of them. I will take a single OC per person or a pairing of OC's. I may also hook OC's up with cannons. This is not an OC focused story like my others but they will be treated the same as any cannon character. Info I need is
Name, Species, Gender, Appearance, Personality, Relationships, and any other Misc information you have, I like working with quirks in characters.
R&R, farewell]
