-Chapter One-Welcome Back!

Flippy stood by his bedroom window, watching the cars go slowly by through the starless night. He ran his fingers through his green hair in frustration, and then closed the blinds making his room very dark. Ever since the War, Flippy had been feeling alone, and of course "flipped".

Flippy sat down on his bed and reached his arm slightly to turn on the radio. He groaned as soon as he heard the song that was playing, which was: Trading Yesterday "Just a Little Girl". That song would always remind him of his old girlfriend, whose whereabouts are unknown. His "friendemy" Splendid had told him that she was scared of him, and she wanted to be distanced from Flippy until he got better. Though that had been when Flippy had been just at the last year of high school, she had only been a second year.

Sometimes Flippy couldn't help but chuckle at her fear, she is or was just a little girl.

"The demons that I've faced…huh," Flippy looked up at the empty ceiling and said to himself.

Flippy jumped at the sound of his phone ringing, he picked it up quickly while checking the caller ID.
"Petunia…?" he answered his phone "Hello?"

"Oh Flippy, thank goodness!" the girl on the phone named Petunia said.

"Something wrong?" Flippy asked her worriedly.

"Splendid forgot to buy the cake for Cuddles birthday tomorrow! The bakeries are going to be shut down tomorrow, and no one else is available…So I was wondering if you can go pick one up? I'll pay the day after tomorrow of course!" Petunia quickly explained everything to him.

"Of course Splendid," Flippy rolled his eyes.

"He was too busy playing hero for some girl," Petunia laughed.

"I guess I can go…" Flippy stood up and took a peek outside of his window. He heard the sound of thunder barely starting.

"Thanks so much! Be sure to bring it tomorrow before 12 p.m.!" Petunia thanked Flippy and hung up.

"Cake, eh…" Flippy put down his phone and walked out of his room. He grabbed his green camouflaged jacket and put it on. His moss green eyes darted towards his Jeep's keys, he wasn't sure if to take it or no.

"It's not raining yet so…" he opened the door and left his house. The street was empty, and all lights were turned off.

"Power outage…?" he blinked.

Flippy started to walk to the nearest bakery, which was a couple of blocks away from his home. The black sky started to sprinkle, lightning was starting to crackle…and the thunder started to boom loudly. He made a stop next to an alley and looked up to the sky with a blank expression.

Flippy's eyes started to change color, a moss green to a bright yellow.

A man had bumped into Flippy purposely, he laughed at Fliqpy as he started to walk, but Fliqpy had just grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Oi…" Fliqpy growled.

"Don't touch me ya brat!" the man shouted at him. Fliqpy's nose wrinkled at the smell of the man. So he was drunk.

"Let's go play a little bit, eh?" Fliqpy had a wild look on his face now.

"B-beat it brat!" the man pulled out a knife from under his shirt and slashed at Fliqpy.

"Ah, you're going to be no fun, but who cares!" Fliqpy laughed as he swiftly had dodged the slash.

"F-freak…" the man stared at Fliqpy frightened. Fliqpy just laughed and with ease took the knife away from his hand. His one sided grin spooked the man even more. Fliqpy pushed the man into the alley; he started to "play" with him with the knife. The sound of lightning, and thunder, had blocked the sounds of the man's screams. The rain washed away the blood on the ground, as then Flippy continued. A face of a man who enjoys killing was on his bloody face.

Minutes later, the man was lying on the ground dying. Fliqpy sat next to him cleaning the knife with his now blood stained tongue.

"Damn you…" the man croaked.

"Huh? You're still alive?" Fliqpy blinked.

With his one hand, the man took out a gun from inside of his pants, his eyes rolled back as he pulled the trigger as the bullet hit Fliqpy on the shoulder. Fliqpy groaned of pain and glared at the man.

"Bastard," he growled and started to slice the body up. Fliqpy grabbed on to his bleeding shoulder and stood up. He then started to drag himself away from the alley, each slow step unsteady. The thunder had stopped, so only the rain poured.

The yellow eyes had now turned back to normal as Flippy sat a half way through the alley his back against the brick wall. Slowly, his eyelids started to close while the cold raindrops fell on his face.

"Hey…are you alright?" a soft voice spoke to Flippy. Flippy grunted and held on to his shoulder tighter.

"Oh no, you're injured! Here let me help you," the voice spoke to him again. Flippy felt arms slide behind his back and a small hand on his chest start to lift him up slowly.

"Come on help me get you up!" Flippy opened his eyes slightly, only to see a petite woman with spiky, long, red hair and the brownest eyes stare up at him worriedly.

"F-Flaky…?" Flippy murmured.

"Geez, I come back from overseas just to see you like this!" Flaky sighed as Flippy pulled himself up with her arms still around him. Flippy stayed silent staring down at the ground.

"Come on, my house is a block away. I have to get your wound treated," Flaky said to him. Little by little Flippy started to walk. His vision started to feel blurry, but he managed to make his steps stable.

There in the alley, a man with his arms and legs cut off laid there, lifeless. No one that passed by there ever noticed.

After they both got to Flaky's house, she had Flippy lying down on the couch with his shoulder to his stomach bandaged up.

"So…" Flaky sat down in front of him.

"Why, did you leave me?!" Flippy blurted out. Flaky's eyes widen at his question, she clenched the hem of her long sweatshirt.

Flippy hadn't realized what kind of questioned he had asked until he had noticed the small tears streaming down Flaky's face.

"No, Flaky I didn't mean to!" Flippy quickly sat up, but he got a pain on his shoulder that made him groan a little.

"I-I'm sorry, i-it's just that…you…you…" Flaky's lips trembled at what she was about to say.

"I what…?" Flippy whispered tensely.

"You…no…he…" Flaky spoke with a tone that was very quiet.

"Me, he what!?" Flippy demanded an answer.

"…raped me…" Flaky said.

Flippy's eyes widen, he stared at Flaky in shock as a large tear started to form.

"I-I wouldn't ever…" Flippy whispered as the tear fell from his eye.

"I know that's why I said 'he'…" Flaky spoke quietly.

Flippy's hands and legs started to shake. He clenched his teeth and his fists, but he couldn't tell if it was because he was mad, or just scared.

"All this time…all those years of you missing…" Flippy croaked. Flaky held on of his hands with both of her small ones, she sniffed, and stared at him steadily.

"I left, because I got told I had to stay away from you," her voice was firm while she spoke.

"Who…" Flippy asked her with a quiet tone.

"…Spl-" Flaky got interrupted by the sound of her door bell.

"Yes?" she called out.

"Your hero's here~!" a voice sang. Flaky turned to look at Flippy and shook her head. Flippy sighed and laid down closing his eyes.

"Uh, come in!" Flaky said.

"Herrow, Flaky~." A male with a red mask and a blue jumpsuit skipped inside as he purred.

"H-hi, Splendid…" Flaky smiled nervously at him.

"I heard you came back so I ha-…why is he here?" Splendid said while turning to look at Flippy.

"He was hurt so I…" Flaky let go of Flippy's hand and looked down.

"Bullshit!" Splendid spat at them. He ran out the door angrily as he clenched his fists.

"S-Splendid!" Flaky got up and started to run out for him, but Flippy grabbed her hand and shook his head.

"B-but Splendid…" Flaky stared outside her door as Splendid drove away on his motorcycle.

"Let him go," Flippy said. It bothered Flippy on how Flaky did care for the so called hero, he knew it was jealousy. He and Flaky never broke up; they were just separate from each other.

"But…" Flaky whispered.

"Please," Flippy sat up looked straight into her eyes with a frown on his face.

"Oh Flippy!" she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly. Flippy flinched from the pain, but just ignored it. He wrapped his arms around her small waist and hugged her tightly.

"I missed you…" she whispered softly with small tears forming in her eyes.

"I missed you too…" Flippy whispered back.

Flippy opened one of his eyes and looked at the reflection of him on the window. He hugged Flaky tighter, as he saw his own reflection give off a wicked like smile with the yellow eyes of a maniac.
