Flippy's POV
I slipped on my coat, feeling a bit uneasy today. "Dude, calm down!" said Flipqy. "It's just a girl!" "I know that," I muttered. "But she isn't any girl! She's Flaky Redwood." "Shifty, I forgot my books in the room. Can you get them for me?" He smiled and nodded. "I'll do anything for my little girl." Last week, they began to date. Lifty didn't mind at all, since he doesn't have a crush on her.
Flaky let out a sneeze. "Ugh, excuse me," she muttered. He came rushing to the small girl. "Flakes, are you alright?" She nodded. "I must've gotten a cold from being outside in the rain yesterday." Lifty and Shifty sighed. "You shouldn't have done that." The oldest twin got Lifty's scarf and wrapped it around her neck.
"You'll get sick and I'll be very worried," he said. "Besides, I don't even know how to take care of a sick person." She blushed. "You're worried in taking care of me?" He nodded. "Shifty, you made happy!" Flaky pulled him down for a kiss, earning squeals from girls. "They are so cute together!" That should've been me!
I tried to get near Flaky, to talk with her, but the twins kept on blocking my way by covering her body. "Flaky, we are going over your house today! Is that alright?" She smiled. "Sure, you don't need to ask anymore." Oh, how I wish that could be me!
Flaky's POV
So, the first thing the twins' did was go to my mother's room. "Neato!" Lifty gasped. "How much stuff is in here?" Shifty asked. I felt the red duvet that was on the bed. "My dad decided to leave all of her stuff here, so that I could remember her."
Shifty ruffled my hair and went into my mom's closet. "She has a lot of clothes too!" He pulled out a dress and thrust it into my hands. "Put it on!" I sighed and headed to the bathroom. I slipped on the dress, struggling with the straps. Man, I hate this dress. I finally managed to get it complete and I stared in the mirror.
Blinking a few times, I screamed. "Mom, you're here!" I shouted. I touched the mirror with my hands, trying to get to her. She just stared back at me. "Mom, answer me!" I clawed the glass, the shards beginning to pierce my skin. The glass finally broke and it fell on me.
I collapsed on the floor with glass surrounding my form. Now I know that it wasn't my mother. It was only my reflection. I look a lot like her. I have her face, hair, eyes, skin and all of her genes. I don't even have a trace of my dad. Shifty and Lifty ran into the room.
"Flakes, are you okay?" Shifty picked me up, a few of my flakes falling as well as glass. I nodded. "What happened?" Lifty asked. "I tripped," I muttered, tears stinging my eyes. "Our mum is a nurse," said Shifty. "We'll be able to remove the glass." He removed the pieces with his fingers. Shifty began to bandage my arms.
We sat down on the couch, deciding what channel to watch when the doorbell rang. I handed Shifty the popcorn and headed to the door, unlocking it before opening it. "Oh, hi Pops!" I greeted. Shifty and Lifty craned their necks to see what was happening.
Cubs let out a coo, reaching out for me to carry him. "Flaky, I just got a called for late work," said Pops. "Can you take care of cubs?" "Sure! No problem," I said. Cubs squealed. "Bye daddy," he said. I closed the door, still holding the four year old in my arms. "Look guys! I got my first baby to babysit!" I did a small dance. They just gaped at Cubs.
"Keep an eye on him, Flakes." "Why?" I asked, sitting between the twins. "He is a little cutie!" I nuzzled his nose, making the child giggle. "Just take good care of him." I nodded. Shifty stood up, stretching. "Well, baby, we have to go now. Our mother is expecting us to be home by five." "Kay, Shifty, see you guys later!" Shifty gave me a peck on the lips and Lifty kissed my forehead.
They walked out the door, leaving only Cubs and me. "Flakes, Cubs wants ice cream!" I smiled and carried him to the kitchen. "Alright, I'll get some ice cream." I placed Cubs on the kitchen counter and opened my fridge to take out strawberry ice cream. "We'll have vanilla sauce on it, okay?" I turned around and screamed as something flew past me. I looked over my shoulder to face the wall, seeing a
knife.
"Nice! Nice!" Cubs cheered. I plucked the butter knife he was holding. "Come on, I got the ice cream." He squealed and kissed my cheek. We sat down on the couch and began to eat. Well, I fed him and ate. After a while, we fell asleep on the couch with the TV on. At eight, the doorbell rang and I answered it, Cubs in my arms. It was Pops. "Hey Flaky, thank you for taking care of him," he whispered. I nodded and handed Pops the child. He gave me a twenty. "Every time they call me for late work I'll let you take care of Cubs." I smiled. "Alright, he was fun to watch! I closed the door and headed to my room. That was when noticed that I was still wearing my mother's dress.
I stared at myself in the mirror, tears beginning to fall. "Mom, I'm sorry," I whispered. I collapsed, curling into a tight ball. "I caused your death. It should've been me!" I pounded on the mirror, gasping for breath. "I never should've distracted you! I am so sorry!"
Flippy's POV
It was our final week of school before going on winter break. Meaning I have only a week to amaze my princess. Well, she belongs to Shifty but still, I want her to think of me as a kind guy who doesn't kill. I'm going to do my best. "Flaky, by the end of this week you are going to be amazed!" I announced. People around me stared before rushing away.
Monday, oh how I hate Mondays! I am forced to wake up very early in the morning to get ready. But today is special. We are able to be out of uniform all week for Christmas. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT FLAKY IS GOING TO WEAR!
She ran into the school, her hair bouncing with each step. The girl swung open the door, her breathing coming out in pants. "I am SO sorry! This morning my alarm was off and I woke up VERY late! Then my outfit got ripped and I had to wear this! As soon as I was halfway here I realized that my homework wasn't in my bag and that is why I don't have it! PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT ME MR. LUMPY!"
"Well, for being late and disturbing class you'll get a detention." The girl burst out crying. "I SAID I WAS SORRY! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME DETENTION! MY SCORES ARE PERFECT! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!" Her voice was so high pitched I thought I would flip out. "Don't worry about, Flaky. You aren't going to get detention. Sit down." She skipped to her seat.
SHE IS SO CUTE! Flaky was wearing a red and white knee high dress, long white socks, red flats, white clips on her hair and red fingerless gloves. During passing period, I snuck to her locker and managed to pick her combo. "Where is her lunch bag?"
I finally found it and grabbed it. "There we go," I muttered. "Now, when she notices that her lunch is missing, she'll have to buy one but I'll give her the one that I made." It had an apple, vanilla pudding, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "I hope she likes it!"
I know she likes peanut butter on her sandwich because she always has one with jelly and some light brown substance on the other bread. "Wait up, guys! I have to get my lunch!" Flaky skipped to her locker, opening it and began to search. "Hey! It's not here!" Shifty's eyes widened and he rushed to her side, followed by his brother. "What's wrong, Flakes?" "My lunch is missing," she said.
I rushed towards them. "Hey, what happened here?" "Her lunch has gone missing," the twins said in unison. My eyes widened slightly with fake surprise. "I'm sorry to hear that," I said. I held out the spare lunch. "Here, you can have mine."
She beamed brightly, wiping the tears off her eyes. "Are you serious?" Flaky asked. "What are you going to eat?" "I'll order something here. Besides, they have a type of cake that I have been dying to try." She grabbed the bag. "Thank you, Flippy! I owe you one." She climbed onto Shifty's back, giving his neck a small kiss. "Let's go to lunch!"
They ran to the lunchroom. "I wonder what he was going to have," she muttered. Flaky took out the food. "Yay, he packed a sandwich!" She took a bit of the sandwich and swallowed. Then red spots could be seen on her skin, her lips getting slightly swollen. "Oh gosh, this sandwich has peanuts in them!" She threw it across the room and covered her lips.
"Flaky, should I take you to the nurse?" The girl shook her head and turned around so that she wasn't facing them. "Don't look at me! I'm hideous!" Her eyes began to brim with tears. Shifty picked Flaky up and ran to the nurse's office, Lifty following.
I stared at the door, my eyes blinking a few times. "She's allergic to peanuts?" Giggles and Petunia were suddenly standing in front of me, their hands placed on hips. "We saw you in the hall, Flippy," said Petunia. Giggle nodded, her eyes narrowed.
"You switched her lunch so that you can look like the hero," said Giggles. Petunia crossed her arms. "Are you trying break Flaky and Shifty apart?" she asked. "If you are then give up," Giggles added. "She is happy with Shifty."
The two girls left, not letting me explain. Without me noticing, Lammy and Mr. Pickles sat down in front of me. "So, what's up with you and that girl Flaky?" I looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" She sighed and snapped her fingers. Mr. Pickles was holding a picture of me staring at Flaky. "First, you are madly in love with her."
The next one was of Flaky and Shifty dating. "Then they start to date and you are all over her." Next was of me trying my best not to flip out. "Next you are struggling with Flipqy on not killing her." The last one was of me giving Flaky the lunch. "Finally, you gave her an allergy reaction." Mr. Pickles placed the pictures neatly on the table and crossed his arms.
"What's up, Flippy?" she asked. I sighed. "You're right, I do love her. But who cares? She likes Shifty better." The two siblings grinned. "Oh, I wouldn't say that, Flippy," she said. I looked at her abruptly. "What is that supposed to mean?" I demanded. The grins turned into a smirk. "Be patient, Flippy," said Mr. Pickles. "Things are better when you wait," Lammy added.
The two stood up and exited the room. I swear, those two are plain weird. Flaky returned to the lunchroom, her face even paler. "Come on, Flakes," Shifty whispered. "I'll buy you some lunch." She nodded and let herself be led in line.
Well, that's it. I hope you all enjoyed. Don't forget to review, please?
