"Nutty! I thought you went to your parents?" I said chuckling nervously as my eyes darted around the room like a caged animal.
"There was a fire. All the sweets got burned. I'm going back in a few months." Nutty said pouring what seemed to be a endless bag of sugar into the punch, well actually mostly sugar, bowl.
"Oh! Are your parents OK? They run a candy store right?" I said a bit of a smile leeking onto face.
"I dunno, but yeah they do." Nutty set shrugged and wiped a piece of his yellowish bangs away from his face, but only after emptying the bag of sweet white crystals into the fruity liquid. He then let out a few excited giggles and his 'good'
eye shown with happiness.
Jeez, what am I gonna do now?
"Oi! Flippy, get over here!" A voice sounded from across the room. I regonized it as Toothy. He sat at a large setup of electrical equipment. Oh yeah, he had gotten a interest in music hadn't he.
"Yeah?" I said walking over dodging a few people.
"You looked a bit nervous over there. Is something wrong dude?" He smiled widely his teeth showing as always. It would look dorky on some people, but it fit him.
"No everythings fine, I just don't get out much." I smiled at him, "You need help setting any of this stuff up?"
"Not really, I just want to get all the music ready before Cuddle gets here." Toothy's eyes shone at the thought of making his best friend happy, Flippy chuckled slightly at this.
"That's really nice of you Tooth-" Flippy was cut off at the feeling of a light object hitting the back of his leg.
Tap, tap, tap.
"Hey, Mole it's Flippy stop tapping away."
"Sorry." The blind man said apologeticly. "I didn't know you were there."
"Its alright. I know you didn't mean too," Flippy said. Ah, the Mole one of Happy Tree Town's disabled. He was nice, though it was good to keep distance when he has that stupid cane of his out.
"Well have either of you seen Handy?" Mole ajusted the black circular glasses that laid on his face and he spoke.
"Yeah hes about 15 steps to your right, watch out for Petunia though so you don't run into her on the way there." Toothy smirked as he watched Mole slowly tapping his way over to Handy.
"Flippy! Flippy!" A voice came shouted from behind him.
"Giggles?" He said questioningly as he looked down at her. "What do you want?"
"Flaky told me to come talk to you! Oh and to bring Petunia! Oh wait I forgot her. Petunia!" She moved her head towards Petunia and made a hand movement telling her to come closer. Soon the blue haired girl had joined them.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Giggles let out a small set of well, giggles.
"Yeah? We don't have all day you know." Petunia said in a mock voice acting as if she was saying she was better than others.
"Oh, uh, well Flaky told me you guys could help me with romantic advice..." Flippy stuttered on the words 'romantic advice'.
"Ooohhhh!~" Both girls said in unison.
"We just love romance! Tell us Flippy who is this for anyways?" Petunia said a bit of a devilish tone taking over her voice.
Her eyebrows moved up and down in reference to her question. "Or if you don't want to tell us we can ask Flaky."
Damn, tell one person your feelings and now the whole world wants to know. Actually no, that was a overstatement. "Do you really have to know," I complained a bit of aggrivation appearing in my tone.
"Well Flippy everyone is infatuated differently. Just like everyone likes different things. Petunia likes flowers from her crush,
and I like chocolates because of my allergies to some types of flowers." Giggles eyes clouded at the rememberence of when she had sneezed out her brain. Flippy heard her mutter something under her breath though he only caught the words "Stupid," and "Dieing."
"Well, over there." Flippy pointed over at Nutty with his thumb not trusting his voice to hold it's tone.
"Flaky!" Petunia questioned tilting her head a bit to the side. Flippy cast his glance over to the small group of people. Nutty and Flaky were standing side by side chatting.
"No other one." Flippy swiped his tongue over the roof of his mouth, a bit of a habit when he was nervous.
"Oh! You mean..." Giggles smiled and cast her glance over to Petunia, Petunia also did the same to Giggles. Both of them let out soft giggles and a few aww's.
"Thats, like, so cute!" Petunia said her voice filled with joy.
"God damn it, why is everyone finding it cute." Flippy crossed his arms letting out a frustrated growl.
"Because you are taking this a bit too seriously." Giggles got a bit of a stare from Petunia after saying this. "What it's the truth!"
"Don't mind her Flippy." Petunia said a motherly tone taking over her voice. "How about you do something for Nutty like getting him candy or something you know he likes that. Build up a bit of trust between you two then ask him out." She smiled sweetly.
"Thanks Petunia." I said smiling at her.
I heard a door open and Cuddles walked into the house his yellow hair styled around his face with his signature bunny slippers on.
"Cuddles!" A cheer came from many of the guests running over to greet him. Flippy followed more slowly pulling a small wrapped box out of his pocket. He waited for the crowd to disperse before walking over to the birthday boy.
"Here." He said slipping the gift into Cuddles hands. "I wasn't planning on staying long because at my last birthday party I kinda, you know, killed you."
"It's OK Flippy, I know you didn't mean it. Besides Toothy is about to start up the music it'll be fun." The younger said opening up the small box. Inside was a small bunny necklace. "Aww! Bunnies!" He chimed putting the lid back on the box and setting it in his pocket.
"Well I guess I'll stay for just a bit longer." Flippy was happy he could get his friend something he liked. He owned it to all of his friends really.
"Great!" Cuddles said as he walked away to talk to some other friends.
At this moment he heard some loud electronic music start playing. He turned around to see Toothy working at a laptop connected to the equipment he was setting up earlier. Flippy reconized it as a track from that new music producer he had heard Toothy talking about once.
Deadrat5 or Mau5 was it, he couldn't really remember.

Authors Note: Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I really loved writing this though it's kinda hard deciding what will happen. The reviews about the last chapter weren't very helpful either, but that's OK I had fun. Oh, and the Deadmau5 reference was what I was listening to while finishing this up. It also kinda fit because of Happy Tree Friends being about animals and well...Mau5! ;)
