Hi! I'm Minori~ this is basically a SplendidxFlakyxFlippy love triangle… but of course I can't tell you whom she'll end up with… Mwahahaha….
I do not own Happy Tree Friends or the Characters!
Please don't forget to review!
The sounds of children as they were playing filled the area of the elementary, almost as if it was hollow… I sat alone because of my timid nature; I didn't have the courage to talk to anyone… They all bullied me, calling me a coward, claiming I was too timid, too paranoid… I wanted to yell out at them, but I couldn't muster the courage to do so… The only words that slipped from my mouth were, "I-I'm… s-s-sorry…"
Nobody wanted to talk with a coward, but there was nothing I could do… I still couldn't change by the time I got to high school… Everyone had matured however they still loved to pick on me…
So I moved away, to Happy Tree town, I heard rumors that everyone was friendly with each other, but it also had a mysterious curse… I didn't really believe in curses… but I couldn't get it out of my head, and I grew afraid each minute I drove closer to it… I wanted a high school life with friends, and not to be picked on… that's the only thing I've ever wanted… maybe even love… but who can say?
I couldn't really remember anything before I started going to elementary, honestly I can barely remember my whole time in elementary… It's like as if something took my memories and now I don't even know what it took… or if I just forgot for the sake of not seeing those painful memories anymore… The only thing I remember… is someone comforting me every time I was hurt…
After being lost in thought, I found myself in one of the streets in the town, not knowing where the heck I was… I saw a boy around my age in construction worker clothes walk by, and managed to ask him.
"E-excuse me…. D-d-do you know where I a-am…?"
The boy looked at me with a confused face, as if I was out of my mind… making me feel alienated…
"Are you by any chance lost?" The boy asked with a curious look, "If you need some help finding a place, I can help you! I know this town like the back of my hand!"
This boy… only had one hand though… I suspect it's his writing hand… but I can't help but wonder what happened to his missing arm…
"Y-yes! That sounds wonderful! T-t-thank you!" I gave him a smile, letting him know I was very friendly…
"My name's Handy, and may I ask, what your name is?" Handy had extended his hand, responding to my friendly greeting and smile.
I extended mine as well and took his hesitantly…"M-my name's Flaky! I-I-it's a pleasure to meet you!"
He had gotten into the passenger seat and began to guide me past pink, yellow, and red houses. There were also several flower shops on the way that I would love to visit later so I can work on my garden… After being guided effortlessly by Handy to my new home, he suggested
"Why don't I help you with some of those boxes? They look pretty heavy…"
"O-oh! I d-don't want to be a bother!" I said not wanting him to carry it all by himself...
All of a sudden, this blue figure had speeded past me, taking all of my boxes and putting them into the house with ease... It felt as if, the figure was flying at an amazing speed… I couldn't believe I was going to say it… but just like a super hero… a BLUE super hero…
"Hey Splendid! At least let me take some of the boxes!" Handy exclaimed upset, recognizing the figure, before a blue haired boy wearing a red mask came out of the house with a wide satisfied grin.
"Sorry Handy, But I'm a hero! I have to help people!" the boy continued to grin idiotically…
I stared at him, surprised that such a person existed… The boy soon glanced at me with a surprised face as well, and ran over to me in excitement and grabbed my hands.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm the Great Splendid! A hero 24/7! What's your name?" It was hard not to look at how cute he was… almost like a puppy…
"O-oh… I-I'm Flaky… Thank you… for putting the boxes in the house!"
Splendid had paused for a moment, but then yet another satisfied smile on his face, as if everything he did was enough to make him happy. I couldn't help but smile with him, as if his smile was contagious…
"I live right next door so please don't be afraid to call for help!" He said pointing at the blue building… It looked like an honest house. Of course it had it's ups and downs, some of the walls were cracked, the lawn was overrun with weeds, and one of the windows were broken, however it still had the homey aura around it.
"I-I see! Splendid, thank you so much! I-I hope I can repay you're k-kindness!" I said embarrassed. No one had ever helped me like they did; I was overwhelmed with gratitude…
"Well, I think I need to go now… We do have school in a couple of days, and I need to get all my stuff together, not to mention the renovations I need to do too…" Handy said, seeming somewhat disappointed that he couldn't stay longer…
"O-oh… I see… well then I h-hope to see you at school Handy…" I said, also with disappointment in my voice…
Splendid looked like he wouldn't care, even if the school was on fire… Suddenly his face lit up with a huge grin…
"Oh! I know! Flaky how about we go shopping right now for stuff you'll need!"
I stared at him in surprise and shock, how can someone think of going shopping now when there's school tomorrow, and still have that grin on his face? He confused me completely…
"E-eh? R-right now?" I asked confused. I thought we would just need normal materials you'd bring to any class… but was there something more? Or was he talking about food? Household goods?
"Of course silly! You need stuff so you'll be comfy here in Happy Tree town!" he continued smiling… Suddenly Splendid picked me up with ease and started flying away.
"S-Splendid?! P-p-put me down! I might f-f-fall! O-or worse!" I said tearing up, I hated a lot of things, but what I hated the most were heights….
"Oh c'mon Flaky! I won't drop you, I promise!" he said in a carefree tone. His grip was tight around my waist, which hurt. "Oh! There it is!" He yelled cheerfully, directing my attention to a super market.
Somehow, I had guessed he was going to bring me here… I did need things like food, shampoo, a comb, and some basic plates and silverware… Before we had landed I felt like he was just going to let his grip slip and leave me to fall on to the hard cement. That wasn't the case; he gracefully let me down on my feet and then dragged me into the market.
"Hey Flaky, Let's split up and look for what you need! Give me a list and I'll find it!" he said. I guess he loved being able to help someone if they needed it, I tried finding the list in my purse… but it wasn't there…
"O-o-oh no… I must have d-d-dropped it somewhere!" I was tearing up again… I couldn't help but feel it was my fault for losing it…
"Oh… Do you remember anything that was on it?" Splendid looked disappointed because he couldn't do anything…
"O-oh um, I think I can look for it… but I need some p-plates and silverware…. Would it be alright?" I stared at my feet; I was too embarrassed to look up because I was starting to tear up. "I'll try to back track where I might have d-d-dropped it!" I scurried behind me, leaving a confused but happy Splendid behind me.
After looking everywhere and not finding the list, when I turned around… I was lost in the aisle with soups in it… Ironically this market was a lot bigger on the inside than it looked…
'O-oh no! W-Where am I?! W-What if… I get lost again if I try to go back?!' I thought to myself shaking, trying to find a way back to where I had left Splendid. I started running and before I knew it, I had tripped over someone and had landed on my face…
"O-Ow…." I said touching my face to make sure there wasn't any blood with tears in my eyes… I had a small scratch on my right cheek but it wasn't anything serious, I turned back to see I had tripped over a green haired boy in military clothes, sitting on the floor as I was laying over his knees after tripping.
"O-Oh! I-I'm s-so s-s-sorry!" I said sobbing and trying to help him back up, he didn't seem to be hurt… Somehow… he looked very familiar….
"Ow… What do you think you're-…?!" The boy straightened his back and looked at me in surprise, as if he recognized me… I looked back with a confused look, seeing if there was anyone behind me, if he had been looking at someone or something behind me…
"F-Flaky…?" the boy said my name, and recognition lit up on his face. "I-It's you Flaky! Thank god!" He hugged me tight, as if he thought something terrible had happened to me…
"U-um… d-do I k-know you?" My face was red as a tomato, being hugged suddenly by a stranger…
"Y-you don't remember me….?" The boy looked disappointed… Honestly, I don't even know his voice… but his eyes, made me feel safe… something I haven't felt since….since I was in elementary… His emerald green eyes had a friendly and calm gleam to them…
"N-no… I'm s-sorry… I don't…" I started fidgeting as he helped me off the ground…
"S-seriously? You don't remember me? I'm…." He paused… as if in deep thought… looking at me with such disappointed eyes… making me feel a little guilty inside….
"I-It's me… Flippy… remember?" He gave a heart warming yet disappointed smile… Right then… I started to have a terrible headache… Soon before I knew it… I was on the ground passed out from the pain… Everything was dark… I found myself walking in nothing but a pitch black room, that didn't seem to have an end to it… Just then, something echoed throughout the dark room….
'F-Flaky…!" the small voice had repeated the name over and over again… as if in pain….
"P-Please wake up! D-Don't die on me!" The voice had become tenser in just a short moment; soon I began to see… people, gathered around in a circle around a young green haired boy holding a girl covered in blood… When I walked closer, I saw red strands of crazy hair… and then it hit me… It was me, dying in Flippy's arms…
'W-wait… T-That doesn't…make any sense… I…I had just met Flippy! I…' I denied everything… How could I know someone who I just met?! Did I used to know him in middle school? I can't remember…. I felt a cold breeze… coming from one of the doors, standing behind one of them…was a figure with glowing yellow eyes and small pupils… Before I knew it, the entire room had become pitch black again, leaving the glowing eyes behind the doors… staring at me, with malice and blood lust… Then… he had the most menacing smile… with his sharp teeth showing… mouthing the words… "You're going to die… Bitch…" as he finished saying these words his smile grew wider and his pupils grew smaller… and the doors began to open….revealing a hidden knife…
"N-no….. NO!" I screamed holding my head in the dark room now crouching on the floor… "I-I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" I ran to the end of the hallway and burst through the doors behind me screaming…
"Flaky! Flaky wake up!" I heard a voice… and it felt as if I was being shaken… The voice screamed louder… "FLAKY!"
"NOO!" I bolted out of the bed and clinged onto the arm closest to me… I was shaking in fear, sweating, and crying… I was panting as if I had no breath left…. I noticed I was clinging onto the arm of someone who had a standard black shirt on…
"F-Flippy….?" I didn't dare look up… I was too afraid of letting him see my face as it was… full of fear… I felt another hand caress my head, trying to comfort me.
"It's ok Flaky… I'm here…" Flippy continued to caress my head making an effort to try and comfort me…
"Flaky?! Are you ok?! You're not hurt are yo-…!" I heard Splendid yell as ran up the stairs with a sudden halt at the door… I didn't want to look up, and see how pathetic his new neighbor was… Suddenly Flippy stood up and after a moment there was a loud thud…
"You… What did you do to Flaky?! What did you do to her Flippy?! You better not have hurt her or-!" Flippy interrupted him after he was punched by him, so that he would stop screaming…
"Listen Splendid, I didn't do anything to Flaky, I ran into her and then she fainted ok…?" Flippy tried to remain calm as Splendid was venting out all of his anger onto him.
"You… bastard…!" There was another thud, but this time I looked up and I was shocked to see Flippy had caught the punch and had a hard time to remain calm…
-Flippy P.O.V-
Splendid had tried his best to throw another punch to my face, however I couldn't let him get that chance and had caught his punch… How childish of him starting a fight in front of Flaky, who had just waken up… A voice inside my head started to scream at me
"C'mon bro! Let me out! I'll beat the shit out of this guy!" My other self had been screaming at me, anxious to get out and harm Splendid, however I couldn't let Flaky get involved in this so I tried to remain calm….
"Look, I'm only here because Flaky fainted in front of me ok? I didn't want to leave her there so I brought her here to my house to rest for a bit…." I said staring at Splendid with a calm look… 'Well you can't guarantee she would'a been safe here with me in the house now would ya? I coulda killed her or tortured a bit ya know?' my other side had joked in my mind.
"Since she's awake I'm going to take her back to her place… She's not safe with you…" He had stared at me fiercely making sure I didn't move an inch. He rushed over to Flaky and helped her out of the room… She had looked back with a worried expression and mouthed the words "Are you ok…?" I gave her a smile to assure her that I was fine, and she smiled back happily…
After the two of them had left I went into my bathroom to wash my face… 'Man, you're a bastard ya know?! Why didn't you let me out!? I coulda killed the phony hero… and that "girl…" It woulda been fun!' I looked up to see my other self complaining in the mirror, but he still had that damn smile…and those blood lusting eyes….
"I'm not going to let you hurt her… again…" Those were the final words I said to my other self before smashing the mirror to pieces…
-Flaky's P.O.V-
Splendid has been dragging me to my house by foot since we left Flippy's…. His hand was tightly gripping my wrist as we walked to my house which was next door… I glanced back to see Flippy staring out his window deep in thought again….
"S-Splendid… it hurts…" I winced at the throbbing pain as he tightened his grip when I called his name…
"O-oh… sorry…" Splendid let go but still had a stern look on his face… He looked angry at the fact that Flippy had saved me and not him…
Once we got into the house, I opened some of the boxes and set them where they should belong… Making the room feel cozier than it did before I had moved in. As I was admiring the look of the room Splendid started mumbling something… I couldn't hear exactly what he was saying but he kept talking about Flippy and the past… I didn't pay much mind to it because I thought he was just exhausted because of all the work he did…
"Well it's getting late… I suppose I should leave you to rest… you've been through a lot today…" Splendid stood at the door… frozen in deep thought….
"G-g-goodnight…" I said, wondering what he was thinking so hard about….
Finally he turned around with a smile, not like the idiotic one he had this morning… but more of a caring one and said, "Goodnight…Flaky…"
He mumbled something under his breath that I couldn't make out…
"It's great… to see you again…"
No I couldn't find a good cliff hanger….
