Authors note: I refer to Flaky as 'they' so anyone can insert their headcanons regarding Flaky's gender.

"Come on, it'll be fun." Flaky exclaimed handing Flippy a flyer to a carnival that had recently opened.

"I-I don't know..…Last time I went to something like that, I, um, you know." He looked to the side and scratched his head.

"Yeah, but that was like five, maybe six years ago." They held Flippy's hand. "Look, you've been doing so well. I think it's even been a few years since you flipped, right?"

Flippy sighed, "It has been a while."

"And we'll take it easy. I know what sets you off, and I'll keep an eye out for anything. We can also leave at any time if you start feeling uncomfortable." Flaky assured.

"But what if-"

"Flippy, you're gonna drive yourself crazy with 'what if's', Trust me, I'd know." They put a hand up to his cheek. "Look at me, I wouldn't have suggested it if I wasn't a hundred percent confident in you."

"Fine, but I want to be super careful, ok?"

"When have I not been careful about anything?" Flaky smiled and kissed him.

Flippy and Flaky showed up at the carnival, it had everything. Mirror mazes, haunted houses, games and a giant Ferris wheel in the middle of it all.

They walked around for hours, enjoying rides, playing games, and ended it all with a ride on the Ferris wheel.

Flippy put an arm around Flaky as they watched the sunset closing to an end. "I'm glad we did this. I'll be honest there where a few times where I was kinda feeling it, but nothing intense. I think you're right, I think I'm finally getting better!" He smiled and pulled them in for a kiss.

"I'm so happy for you!" Flaky held his hand.

As it got darker, a loud bang echoed through the park, and an explosion of color lit up the sky. Soon multiple fireworks were lighting up the sky one-by-one.

They both turned their heads to a loud bang. Flaky's eyes widened, "Oh-no."

Flippy's hand tightened theirs as he started whimpering.

"No, no, no, no!" Flaky covered his ears and forced him to look at them. "JUST FOCUS ON ME! YOU'RE GONNA BE OK! STAY IN THE MOMENT, REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE!" Flaky shouted, trying to drown out the fireworks.

Soon the green started appearing around the irises.

"NO!" Flaky was running out of ideas. Trying anything to pull him back to reality, they suddenly pulled him into a kiss. Please, let this work!

Flippy eventually stopped whimpering and closed his eyes as he kissed them back. He pulled Flaky closer as kiss intensified.

Flaky parted and let out a sigh of relief. Thank God.

"Damn, that was hot."

Flaky jolted up and locked eyes with a pair of green irises peering down at them. No, it can't be! But there was no mistaking it. Flaky could recognize those eyes better than anyone else. They were same that haunted their dreams all those years back. This all had to be a dream, this can't be really happening!

Evil cracked his neck, "God it feels good to be back. Did you miss me?" His words snapped Flaky back to reality.

Suddenly Flaky jumped to the other side of the cart and wiped their mouth from the lingering kiss Evil had left. "S-Stay away!"

"So is that a 'no'?" Evil stood up and leaned against the pole in the middle. "By the way, you shouldn't say stuff like that, it could really hurt someone's feelings."

Evil's movements made the cart rock, causing Flaky to desperately cling on to the side.

"What's wrong? You seemed stressed. Come on Flaky, calm down, maybe enjoy some of the fireworks." He took a step towards Flaky, causing the cart to rock again.

Flaky didn't know where to go, they looked around desperately peering over and down at the carnival. The realization of how far they were actually up made them even more anxious than before. Flaky tightened their grip and closed their eyes as they shook.

Evil peered over the cart. "Oh, that's right, you have a thing with heights." He pulled out a claw and put it under their chin. "Don't you sweetheart?" He smirked.

"G-Get away from me!" Flaky pushed him, making the cart swing wildly. They screamed at the movement held onto the side the best they could.

"Somebody's gotten more spunk since the last time I saw them." He chuckled as he stood back up. "Enough games, let's get to the good part." He grabbed Flaky by their hoodie and punched them to the floor, breaking their nose.

Flaky tried crawling to the side door. They knew that they were at the top, but anything would be better than being trapped here.

Evil grabbed them, "Where do you think you're going?" He peered over at the door and suddenly smirked. "Actually, you know what, I might let you live."

"W-What?"

He brought Flaky to their feet, "Yeah." He held onto the hood of their hoodie and opened the door.

Flaky started shaking, "W-What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to let gravity decide for you." He pushed them off and slammed the door on their hood.

Flaky screamed, flailing their legs as they hung there. Flaky grabbed their collar to keep themselves from being choked.

"We'll put that spunk to good use. If you get out of this then I'll let you live, If not though." He looked down and breathed in though his teeth. "Well you'd just be a bloody mess on the asphalt, won'tcha?" He laughed. "Well, I'll be seeing ya!"

He stood up on the seat to jump off when he paused for a second. "Actually…" He hopped back and went back over to Flaky, who was struggling with each rocking motion. "I'll need this." He reached down and ripped a handful of spikes from Flaky's head.

They screamed as Evil jumped to one of the wheel's beams. "Thanks sweetcheeks!" And he preceded to climb down.

He jumped down beside Handy, the operator, and thrusted one of the spikes into his throat.

Handy spewed blood as he fell to the ground. The crowd screamed as they scattered.

Evil grinned as he took it all in. The blood, the fear, the chaos, how much he missed it all. Damn it was good to be back!
