POOR RED. I FEEL LIKE HIM SOMETIMES…SO UTTERLY ALONE IN THIS BIG WORLD, FEELING LIKE THE ONLY ONE YOU COULD EVER TALK TO HAS LEFT YOU IN THE DUST FOR A NEW FRIEND. BUT KNOW THAT I MADE THE SUMMERY, I THINK I MIGHT MAKE THIS INTO SOMETHING OTHER THEN JUST A COLLECTION OF ONE-SHOTS…..

CHAPTER 2

DRITY JOKES

Red looked at the small, drooling, slimly, smeets. He sighed. he remembered one time when he had been the father of one, before Tak killed him. the smeets turned toward him and looked expectantly at him.

"Good luck with the pinkish-eyed one in the back." One of the trained warned quietly to Red as he walked away.

"Whats the first story!" one of the smeets asked. It was a female with red eye like Red's own eyes.

"The first story is one of when I was only a smeet a little older then you guys are now." Red answered and the smeets stopped moving around and looked at him. except the pinkish-eyed one in the back.

"I don't wanna hear that story. Tell us a better one!" it demanded. Red chuckled softly at the little smeets attitude.

"You remind me of someone who died recently. Oh, what a soldier he was. Whats your name?" Red asked the small, defiant male in the back.

"My name is Cor." He said, looking very proud.

"Can you just start the story already?" one of the other smeets said impatiently.

"Okay, this story starts a long time ago. me and Pur were walking to the lunch table when…"

"Who's Pur?" Cor interrupted.

"Purple. Tallest- or Former- Tallest Purple. Now, as I was saying, we were walking to our lunch table, when Tak…"

"Don't you mean Tallest Tak?" Cor interrupted again.

"She wasn't Tallest then!" Red snapped. Cor flinched.

"Now, if I can finish one sentence, Tak came up and pushed me away, just so she could walk next to Purple. For days I wasn't allowed near him. but that was when Miyuki came into the academy." Red said 'Miyuki' in a dreamy kind of voice.

"When Purple finally took a break from Tak to come see how I was doing, he was Irken-napped. Stolen, right from the spot he was in! but I didn't notice…I was to distracted by Miyuki. Heh, you could kinda say I had a crush on her…" Red swallowed.

"Later that day, the news came on saying Purple had been Irken-napped and so had a few others. And that was at the same time that dead bodies had been found. Many of them too. I felt so stupid. Purple had always been my best friend, and thought I would never see him again." Red sighed.

"On the day before graduation, Purple showed up again, acting and looking as though he had never been missing. When I asked him where he had been-sense I was forced to do his homework, exams, and projects- he said he had been at his house playing video games and eating snacks.

You will hopefully never know how hurt I had been. My friend had tricked me, and thought it was funny. I didn't talk to him for years after that." Red shook his. He hated remembering that. At time, his heart would still ache from being betrayed and he had never fully trusted Purple again.

"That story was boring!" Cor called from where he sat.

"Hey, I could have told you guys an even boring-er one! I'll try to make the nest one better." Red promised.

I KNOW, SHORT CHAPTER, AND THE STORY RED TOLD WAS SORTA BORING AND STUPID, BUT GIVE ME A BREAK! ITS NOT EASY THINKING OF STORIES FOR A STORY!
