AH. HI! Bet you thought I was going to also forget about this story like my other stories hahahaha *sobs* I'm not lazy I swear-

Flippy: Don't believe a word she sa-

ANYWAYS. Hello, and welcome back to this shitty story that I'm actually quite proud of so far! c: Thank you for sending your OCs in ouo I honestly didn't know if anyone would, but people did, and that makes me hella happy o3o!

So, now that we got all the lovey dovey business out of the way, lets get on with the second chapter!

Chapter 1 (Continued)

As the day went on, more and more people arrived. The day started off pretty slow, but gradually became more and more lively. By the time it was noon, most of the town folk were already at the feast, excluding those who went off to the city.

"I can't believe we actually got this all done before the rest of the town came," Boony said, a satisfied tone in his voice, "It took us much more longer last year. I still wonder why..."

Flaky giggled a little and looked over towards Flippy, who just whistled and fumbled with his scarf.

Boony was your average guy, he was 18, he wore a red and black plaid shirt, camo pants, and brown work boots. His hair was black and was styled in a mohawk, and his eyes were both different colors from one another, one being red and the other, green. His grey wolf ears flopped up. "So uh, what do we do now? We already finished everything over here, and everyone is chatting about... Do you think we should join them..?"

"Um, m-maybe not. We still have to wait for the guys we went to the city, remember?" Flaky stated, fumbling with her sleeves a bit, "maybe it's best that we head over to the town's entrance, to see if they're here already!"

"That does sound like a good idea..." Flippy said, agreeing with her plan, Boony placed down the hammer he held on a trees stump. "Sure, I guess we could do that.."

"Well great! Come on, lets go!" Flaky cheered rather enthusiastically, the three started to make their way down to the entrance of the town. It was really strange, having the whole town so quite like this, but it was also soothing. No cars, no yelling, no dying. It was like it was a normal town! They slowly made their way down the hill again, and turned a corner to the main part of town. They continued on right passed it, until they reached the last few houses before the entrance. The trio stopped before they could get any closer. "Alright then, what do we do now?" Boony asked again, Flaky shrugged. " I-I guess we just... Wait." She mumbled.

"We should probably go back if they aren't here yet." Boony inquired, Flaky puffed her cheeks a little.

"Yea, well, I feel like we should wait for them here, to greet them!"

Flippy sighed a little, and sat down on the steps of a house. He watched as Flaky and Boony got into a small argument before just agreeing that if the van hadn't come back in 20 minutes, they would leave. Obviously this gave Flippy some time to do some exploring to do, so he quickly slipped away from both of them, and ventured off into the forest.

Ah yes, the outskirts of Happy Tree Town. No one really liked to go beyond the boundaries, since they became so used to being able to die and come back to life the next day, but Flippy didn't mind. He wasn't afraid, he liked to explore around the forest to see what he could find. He often just found little huts of leaves and twigs made by the kids, and some odd jewelry, but other than that it was just trees, a few cliffs, and a small river that led to a lake where a creepy old looking house was. Surprisingly, there were also caves too, he often went in those too.

Today seemed very different though. It was sort of eerie, to say the least. The forest was usually filled with animals and bright colored plants, but today they seemed to be hiding from something, or someone. Maybe it was because the weather was becoming colder? Flippy scratched his head a little. He felt a bit off, like something was watching him...

He quickly shrugged the feeling off and scurried on back to the duo, who were surprisingly in an intense Uno match with each other, plus a squirrel apparently.

"Uh, hey you guys, you do know that the van just passed us, right?" Flippy said pointing to the van, the two didn't seem to care, or listen. They were too caught up in their game, so Flippy shrugged and let them be. He made his way back to the park, picking up a rock or two on the way. When he finally reached the park, there was a lot of talking, and whispering too.

"What's going on over here...?" He asked to himself, he quickly ran over to the feast, where the townspeople were surrounding something. Flippy slid himself in between them and snuggled his head out from between two arms, gasping at the sight. It was a book, with no paper. The only thing on it was his name written in a very sloppy handwriting.

"What is that..." He asked quietly.

"Dude, I'm pretty sure that's a Death note." Cuddles whispered, causing Flippy to yelp and fall over. The blonde chuckled and stood up as the crowd made a bit more space for the two. Flippy sighed.

Cuddles... He was a very excited 17 year old. He was probably around 5'11", which was smaller than most guys, and wore a yellow hoodie, blue jeans, and a pair of pink sneakers that shoelaces looked like bunny ears. His hair was curly and messy, and was blonde, and he had yellow rabbit ears that limped a little.

"Whoops! Did I scare you? Sorry about that!"

"No no, it's okay Cuddles. I just... I don't really think it's a "death note", or whatever the hell that is" Flippy said in a snarky voice. He quickly got up and brushed himself off. He glanced over to Cuddles again, panicking a little as he saw him poke the book open, causing everyone to take a step back. Flippy rolled his eyes a little and walked over to the book, lightly shoving Cuddles aside. He picked the note up and unfolded it, reading what it said to himself.

"Now who in the world would say such a vulgar thing about you? Who is this T, and what's with that weird smiley face?" Cuddles asked lowly, Flippy flinched a little, and glared at Cuddles briefly before folding the paper up again. "It's... Probably just a prank. You know how Bunny is, with her dumb, uh, pranks. Haha!"

Cuddles raised an eyebrow. "She doesn't pull pranks though!"

"Cuddles?"

"Yea?"

"Be quiet."

The curly haired boy blinked a little in surprise before nodding his head and making a lip locking motion, dramatically throwing away the 'key' to the lock in the air. Flippy stuffed the note in his jacket's pocket and tossed the notebook's shell away. He looked around nervously. It wouldn't be him, right? Of course it couldn't be him! He's in JAIL. Serving LIFE. With NO PAROLE. It couldn't be possible... Right?

The mint haired man shook his head, of course it wasn't him! Why would that even be a possibility! It was obviously a sick, twisted prank pulled on him! He just had to let it-

"You're worried, aren't you?"

Flippy yelped again and tumbled his way to a tree, hiding behind it. He looked up and furrowed his eyebrows at the teenaged girl who laughed at him. Her name was Fang, and she was usually a very kind person, although he didn't think her laughing was because she was being rude. She was 17 years old, and had black hair like her brother's. She wore a purple hoodie, black skinny jeans, and a pair of purple converse. She had yellow eyes, and had black wolf ears, her tail having a grey tip. "What? Did I scare you? I'm sorry." She said, snorting a little. It was pretty amusing, watching Flippy, well, flip out like that. He was usually all tough, but since he moved here, he became more mellow.

"What? No! Of course not!" Flippy spat back, blushing embarrassingly, Fang smiled. "I doubt that note means anything, whatever it was that was on it. It was probably just a really mean joke. After all, why would you be afraid of anything, you're strong, right?" Fang asked, Flippy looked away slightly. "I... Guess so."

"Well then get out from behind the damn tree and come here!"

Flippy mumbled a little. He stepped out from behind the tree and made his way back to the party with Fang.

Day quickly made itself to night, and the lights from the park were outshone by the lights that they spent most of the morning putting up.

Most people were either drunk off their minds or just really tired and talking about in their own groups.

Flippy, however, was walking back home with Autumn, Cinnamon, and Toothy. It was already 10PM and they were extremely tired, since the other three had just arrived from the city and were ready to hit the sack.

Autumn was an 18 year old girl that was 5'6", she looked much younger though, and had pale skin, light amber eyes and short black hair. Her clothing consisted of a black, long sleeved turtle neck, a white skirt, black leggings, and brown knee high shoes, as well as a lucky charm bracelet. She also had black cat ears and a black tail. Cinnamon was 22, she was brown skinned, had long dark red hair that was in a braid, and was rather curvy. She wore a red and white jersey, blue jeans, and white/red sneakers. The two girls together really did contrast each other a lot.

Toothy was in between both of them. He had purple hair in a bowlcut- like hairstyle, blue eyes, a purple t-shirt, black jeans, and purple sneakers. He had purple beaver ears, and a beaver tail that was actually quite small, saying that he was a beaver and that it was sort of noticeable. He was around 5'11", just like Cuddles.

"So, how was your day Flippy?" Autumn asked curiously, Flippy shrugged. "It was... interesting, to say the least." He said, ignoring the fact that he encountered a mysterious note early today. Cinnamon crossed her arms. "I heard something spooky went down over here. They said it was about a strange notebook, would you know anything about it Flippy? Hmm?" She asked, nudging him a little.

"..."

"Well?" Cinnamon said, pressuring him on a bit.

".. No, I don't. I wasn't even there to see the book!" He quickly said, giving himself a mental pat on the back for such a quick comeback.

"Well that's interesting, I heard it was about you! Guess I heard wrong." Toothy said, mumbling something about not trusting what Cuddles said, Autumn giggled. The group of four talked and talked, and eventually went their separate ways, leaving Autumn and Flippy by themselves.

"... You know, you don't really make such a good liar."

"Hmm?"

Autumn looked up at Flippy and smiled. "I could tell you were lying about the notebook. It was about you, wasn't it?"

"Maybe", Flippy mumbled, "I'm not exactly sure why they would aim this note towards me. I mean... Why me?" He asked, Autumn shrugged. "I don't know, Cuddles said it was probably a Death Note, but I wouldn't count on it, after all, it's not really. Although if it was, I would be so excited!" Autumn said in a cheery voice, Flippy raised an eyebrow at her, causing her to cough and compose herself back into her quiet self. "I mean, I would be intrigued." She said with a shy voice, Flippy chuckled a little.

"You guys are weird, you know that?"

"... You're weird!"

WOWWY. I didn't really know how to end off this chapter, and since the last chapter ended off in some sort of weird suspense sort of way, I thought that I should probably end this off more lightly I guess you can say o3o'''

Flippy: -o- You-

HEY. No one told you to speak you nerd. Anyways, I'm sorry this chapter is a bit more, uh, boring to say the least, but I had to introduce the OCs so... YEA. Gomen uou

I guess I'll see you guys in the next chapter, which hopefully won't take long to type up *cries*

cheers cherrios, foo.
