Author's Note: Hey guys, its Sniffles again. The first chapter was meant to be short, sorry about that, and Sniffles and Flippy won't be the main focus of the story. Written from Toothy's point of view. Another note: Lifty's stutter is only when he's nervous, when he gets to an actual conversation and is comfortable, it stops. Oh, yeah, since this will most likely be the last story posted before it: Merry Christmas everybody.

ooooooo

Cuddles, Giggles, and me ran off in the direction of the roller coaster. We ran past Mime, nearly making him drop his juggling clubs in surprise. We saw Lumpy, working in his new job. He was using a mop to clean up something. Ewe… of course Lumpy would get that job, I thought. Suddenly I slammed into something. Cuddles had stopped in front of me, and we both were sent sprawling.

"You guys ok?" a girl's voice asked.

I looked up to a girl I didn't recognize, holding out her hand to help me up. Her hair was a delicate shade of purple, with a white furry beret perched on it. She was wearing a purple dress with white fur on it. The girl smiled at me, with her perfect teeth. I felt something weird in my chest. I grabbed her hand, and she helped pull me up.

"Thanks."

"It's no problem," she said. "My name is Lammy."

"Mine's Toothy," I said.

I pointed towards Cuddles, who was being helped up by Giggles.

"He's Cuddles, and she's Giggles."

"Nice to meet you guys," she said. "You like the park so far?"

"We just got here."

"Ooh, neat. Then let me be your guide, I've been here tons of times before."

"That seems fun," Giggles said.

"Sure!" said Cuddles.

"I know where we should go first!" said Lammy. "Follow me!"

She grabbed my arm, and dragged me along behind her. Giggles laughed at the sight of it. Cuddles and Giggles went after Lammy and me, laughing at my reaction to being dragged. Lammy lead us to a rickety looking house. A sign out front said "House of Horrors."

"Are you sure?" Giggles asked. "It seems kind of creepy."

"That's the fun of it!" Lammy said excitedly.

We entered the house. Inside we were beckoned down a hallway by a creepy man in black. We walked a little ways through the darkness. We stepped on a creaky board, and Giggles screamed slightly. She wrapped her arms around Cuddles. As dark as it was, I could swear I saw Cuddles blush. We continued walking. A dark figure popped out, screaming something un-intelligible. Cuddles made some kind of "meep" sound. Lammy screamed and hid behind me. I naturally put myself in front of her, defending her by some weird instinct. The guy popped back into hiding, and we walked on, a lot faster this time. The rest of the house passed without incident.

We exited the house through another door.

"What a rip off! There was only one real scary thing throughout that ride, and it was a guy in some lame costume!"

"The costume didn't stop you from freaking out," I said.

"I didn't freak out, I just…"

"So, where should we go next?" Giggles said, before it turned into a fight.

"The roller coaster!" Lammy said. "It's the best ride in the…"

"There you are young lady!"

"Dang it, it's him." Said Lammy.

A man dressed in green came walking up to us. He had a monocle over one eye, and wore a top hat. His stern looking face showed relief.

"I thought I had lost you!"

"Sorry Mr. Pickles, I got distracted… and then you were gone. I got worried and tried to find you."

"It's quit alright. There are worse places than here you could have got lost in."

He gave a quick glance over. His face showed slight disgust.

"And who are these… fine children."

"They were just trying to help me find you."

"Well, thank you children. I am in debt to you. Let us go, Ms. Lammy. There is much more of the park to see."

He put his arm behind her and pushed her slightly along. She looked sadly back over her shoulder at us.

"Bye Toothy. Bye Giggles, Cuddles."

Mr. Pickles and her walked off. We lost sight of her in the crowd. We decided to sit down at a bench nearby. I sat down and leaned my chin on my hand. I felt really sad. I wanted to be with Lammy more.

"Are you OK, Toothy?" Giggles asked.

"I dunno know how I feel. Being with Lammy… made me feel weird. I feel empty, I guess, when she went away.

She stared at me, her mouth open. She had a weird look in her eye.

"What?"

"You like her, don't you?"

"I… I think so."

"I wish we could do something."

I sighed.

"Me too."

"Hey guys," Cuddles said. "Want to go to the roller coaster? Maybe… we'll see her there."

"You guys go ahead; I think I'm going to get something to eat."

"OK, Toothy. Just… try to cheer up some." Cuddles said.

"I'll try," I said, sighing slightly.

They walked off. For a while I sat there, not wanting to get up. I mustered up the strength, and headed towards the food area. I pulled out the ticket I got in with.

Free anything, huh.

A few minutes later, I had an ice cream sundae the size of my head in front of me. I was eating for a while, when I heard it.

"Can't I ride any rides, Mr. Pickles?"

Lammy?

"I'm sorry miss, not those ones. Maybe ones more age appropriate."

"Fine," she said, sounding upset.

The crowd cleared. She was sitting at a table with Mr. Pickles beside her. I wanted to go talk to her, but the way Mr. Pickles looked at us three earlier… I figured it would be better not too.

"Heh-hey, Toothy." Said a voice from behind me.

I turned around to see Lifty walking up from behind. He looked nervous coming up to me.

"Hey, Lifty."

He sat down next to me.

"En-enjoying the p-park?"

"It's ok, I guess."

He noticed I kept glancing over at Lammy and Mr. Pickles when I thought no one was looking.

"Taken notice of Ms. Lammy? Her dad helped my dad build this park. She's here often."

"What's Mr. Pickles like?"

"He's nice when one gets to know him, but he's a bit of a stickler for rules." He paused for a moment. "How do you know his name?"

"Lammy and me met a little bit ago. She ran off, I guess, and Mr. Pickles came looking for her."

"You like her, don't you?"

I just stared at him, open mouthed.

"How could you tell?"

"You blushed when I said her name, and kept staring at her. I just put two and two together and that's what I got."

"I just want to talk to her more, but…"

"Mr. Pickles probably wouldn't let you."

"Yeah…."

"I might be able to buy you some time."

"Really?

A few minutes later, me and Lifty were following Mr. Pickles. He led Lammy on the same path each time, apparently. As it started getting dark, Mr. Pickles brought her to a playground for her to play and for him to rest. Lifty walked up to him.

"Hello, Mr. Pickles."

Mr. Pickles gave a start.

"Hello, Mr. Raccoon."

Lifty flinched.

"Call me Lifty. How are you?"

"I'm fine, just taking Ms. Lammy around the park. Keeps her entertained and me active."

While Lifty and Mr. Pickles where talking, I snuck up to Lammy. She sat there, pushing herself on a swing. She seemed bored.

"Psst, Lammy." I whispered.

"Toothy?"

"Haha, yep."

"But, what about Mr. Pickles?"

"I don't care about him," I said. "I just want to see you again."

She blushed.

I started pushing her on the swing. She kept jumping off, and doing tricks. I would run over to her each time and her up from where she fell. We did that for a while. As it got darker and we couldn't see any of the other kids, we figured it wouldn't be safe to continue. I got us a sundae with my ticket. We sat down at a lighted table and ate.

For several minutes we sat there, eating and laughing. At one minute we were laughing very hard, and I saw her staring and smiling at my mouth.

"What… do I have something there…?"

"No, it's just, you have buck teeth."

I put a hand to my mouth and looked away embarrassedly. That was always a sore point for me. Lammy pulled my hand away from my mouth.

"Don't do that. I think it's cute."

I blushed and smiled.

"It got dark out quick, didn't it?" Lammy said.

I looked around. It was obviously quite late. I looked at my watch. It was Eight.

"Ms. Lammy, where are you?"

"I need to go," said Lammy, sounding upset. "Bye…."

She got up and walked off. Before she got too far, I ran after her. I tapped her shoulder and she turned around, looking confused. I leaned up to her, and kissed her. She was surprised at first, but relaxed and joined fully into the kiss. We kissed for what felt like an hour, but what was most likely only a minute. We broke it, and she smiled. I felt myself smile.

"Here's my phone number," I said, handing her a piece of paper. "I want to talk to you again."

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I looked over it. Mr. Pickles stood there. I tensed up, waiting to be yelled at, but he only smiled.

"I wondered when Ms. Lammy would have her first love. She grew up so fast." He said, a tear coming to his eye. He looked older for a minute, and ancient.

"You have my blessing. But Ms., we need to go."

"OK, Mr. Pickles." Lammy said.

She turned to me.

"Bye Toothy."

"Bye Lammy."

She left with a final wave goodbye. Realizing I'd probably need to go soon, I went to the front gate of the park. Giggles and Cuddles were there together, waiting for me. What surprised me though, they were holding hands. I decided not to say anything. As we left the park towards the bus stop, Cuddles asked if I had fun. I said,

"The most I have in a long time."

ooooooo

After note: The real life "Lammy" and "Toothy" have been dating for four years now. If they ever read this, congrats guys. :D
