WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES. Like today in my Japanese class, I raised my hand to answer a question and right at that exact moment THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF. Like seriously, it just goes off as I raise my hand. THE CHANCES! LIKE SERIOUSLY! (More ranting again… sorry… I like to make a GRAND entrance…. If you know what I mean~ *wink*)... I know I haven't updated in a while… but hat's cause I'm busy with so many things! I mean seriously! I haven't had time to just do what I want! D: So… please enjoy this chapter and review!

"T-the smile of a-a blood thirsty… monster….?" My heart sunk and I started sweating in fear. Flippy didn't notice it, but there was a coincidence between that story and our friendship… but it was only the description… Why was the description so close to how we looked? When Flippy suddenly put his hand on my shoulder I was so surprised that I screamed for a few seconds. Right at that moment Flippy put his hands over his ears since my scream was so high pitched.

"Flaky?! What's wrong?" He removed his hands from his ears and put them at the sides of my head and looked me straight in the eyes. My eyes wildly searched the room, as if searching for something hostile in every corner of the room. "Flaky! Snap out of it!" Flippy shook me violently until he forced me to look at him. He put both of his hands on my cheeks and stared me in the face with his worried emerald eyes. "Flaky! Snap out of it! I'm right here MooMoo CAKES!"

"What the Heck?!" I looked at him like he was insane. He suddenly bursted into laughter as he saw my reaction. "Well that brought you back! If that didn't work then I don't know what I would have done!" I pouted and playfully started punching him. He took each hit like they were nothing and they kept laughing. I sat back in the chair and tried to continue doing my homework. I started getting tired really quickly, I guess because of all the freaking out I did.

Flippy looked at me, concerned, he picked me up and laid me down on the bed. He sat down and stared at me. I tried turning away so he wouldn't see my embarrassed face, but he tightly gripped my hand. So I turned towards him and looked at him as he occasionally squeezed my hand. Just the warmth of his hand made me drift into sleep…but before I did, I saw that neon-yellow glint in his eyes.

As I was asleep, I dreamt that I was lying in the middle of a field full of red and yellow lilies. I looked around to see that the landscape passed even the horizon. An endless field of flowers, it seemed peaceful… yet, something didn't feel right. It seemed way too peaceful, and it was too quiet. Not even the birds flying above made a sound. I closed my eyes for a second, but when I opened them, the field was covered in blood. Then a man with green hair and neon yellow eyes stood in front of me. In his left hand he held a knife covered in blood…. And in his right… he held the decapitated head of a woman with green hair. The body of the woman's husband lay behind him, his hair a dark brown… I looked back up at his face to see his emotionless face had changed to a bone chilling grin…

"Good to see you…" The figure's smile grew wider as he licked the bloody knife. He kept his gaze on me and dropped his arm after he finished licking the knife… Blood stained his face…Suddenly he dropped the woman's head and lunged forward with the knife steady in his hand. I quickly turned around and ran as fast as I could, but it was no use. The further I ran, the closer he got behind me. I looked around for somewhere to hide, when suddenly a temple came into view…. I ran inside of it and used a block of wood to prevent the door from opening. "You can't get away!" The figured banged on the door trying to open, he even tried to cut it open but to no avail. After failing to open the door, the figure gave up and left the door alone. I sat in the corner of the small temple and shut my eyes. Then I noticed the around me was warmer than before, and it became hard to breathe…. The sound of fire filled the room as it became a bright orange.

When I had opened my eyes again the inside of the temple was on fire. I was surrounded by bright orange flames and I could hear the roof about to give in. "Help! Someone….! Please…help…" Suddenly the door busted open and the figure that was chasing me before stepped in. Was… I going… to die here…? I held myself as I shut my eyes before the figure had approached me. He picked me up and swiftly carried me out of the temple…. Hesitating, he picked up the knife and looked at me with his cold eyes… Although on the surface they showed no emotion, on the inside his eyes were flooded and confused. He quickly ran off into the distance without looking back… and then I suddenly woke up to see that I was sweating… I looked over at Flippy to see that he was staring at me with concern…

"Are you okay…? You seemed to be having a nightmare..." he put his hand on my forehead and then put his other on his own, to see if I had a fever… I shook my head to try and re-orientate myself, and tried standing up. Flippy quickly put his hands on my shoulders to help me up, staring at my feet and then staring at my face again, to make sure it was okay for me to stand up. "W-Wait! You shouldn't stand up yet!" I shook my head again and started walking… I wasn't injured or anything, I just had a bad dream… But I guess Flippy couldn't understand that concept yet, since he was locked up in a cellar for most of his life.

"I'm… fine…."

"Guys! Dinner's ready! Come get it!" Right at that moment my stomach growled. Flippy laughed at me and helped me stand up. I started walking out the door and Flippy followed closely behind me. He held my shoulders to keep my balanced, and I tried to shake him off but he wouldn't let me go. "Flippy! L-Let me go!" Finally I wiggled out of his grip and ran for the kitchen. He caught up to me quickly, so when we got to the kitchen, we were both out of breath. "Well aren't you two eager!" Aunt Petunia was just putting out our plates on the table… It seemed that tonight she made spaghetti with giant meat balls…. Flippy immediately sat down and started eating, and even though he was as hungry as I was he ate slowly, almost like something from a fairytale…

Flippy and I both finished at the same time, and just as we were putting out plates away the worst seemed to happen… Flippy's parents kicked down the front door and ran into the kitchen… His father was tall, masculine… and very angry… His sickly wife stood behind him… scared, as if her life was going to end.

"We told you to stay in the god damn basement! But no! You had to come in to this red haired whore's house!" His father yelled at him no noticing that Aunt Petunia had started reaching for her kitchen knife. Suddenly Flippy took the wig off and stood up. Aunt Petunia gasped as she dropped the knife and quickly backed away. His father then set his sights on me, glaring at me with eyes filled with rage. "Now we have to make sure that those you've interacted with disappear! And then we'll have to fucking move… AGAIN! This is all you're fault you filthy whore!" His father ran up to me and squeezed his large hands around my neck… He intended to kill me?! I looked over at Aunt Petunia to see that she was running away, not even thinking about turning back and saving me… Just at that moment, red liquid spilled onto the floor and on my face as Flippy slashed his father's arm. Vein's let out a pool of blood as his father clutched his arm in pain.

"You son-of-a-bitch! Don't you dare touch her with your fucking hands!" Flippy was screaming at his father as he stepped in front of me. His father glared back… but then his face suddenly lost all of its color and he backed off… Flippy's eyes had that tint of neon yellow again… but it was stronger than before… A wicked grin started forming on his face, but then the sound of his mother screaming snapped him out of it… "Y-You'll pay! You'll see! Everything you love will burn to the ground!" Both of his parents quickly escaped and Flippy collapsed to the ground… He held his head as he winced in pain… But now more than ever… I felt alone in the world… I was officially abandoned by my entire family… I had nowhere to run now… I was officially alone…

"We… have to run… Flaky… you need to grab all the money you can… and anything important…." Flippy stared at me, looked around, and then quickly went to search each room thoroughly. He found Aunt Petunia's car keys, and then he continued searching the other rooms… I slowly went up stairs and searched Momma's room thoroughly…. I found money hidden everywhere and even her old credit card…. Which was still useful… The type of card she had couldn't be deactivated for some reason… She tried several times… but it was no use… So we could use it.

I opened the door to my room and started packing what I could… All of my jewelry, picture, and mementoes were quickly packed in my medium sized backpack… and as I looked back at my room, my entire body froze… I didn't want to leave… and my heart knew it, but this was for the best… Just when I thought everything was peaceful, light shined from my window, and a man's sinister laughter echoed throughout the night…. "This is the only way to stop him!... He and that red haired slut can burn together! I'll finally e free form that bastard!" I looked out the window to see Flippy's father running off in the distance, a trail of blood following behind him… Then I looked down at the floor to see that the outer wall of the house was in flames. The windows down below broke because of the pressure… Flippy quickly opened the door and grabbed me and my bag and sprinted through the house to the back door. The fames had reached the hallway and quickly chased behind us.

"F-Flippy!" At that moment the roof had collapsed behind us, making me fall over because of the shock. Flippy quickly picked me up, while cursing under his breath, and then jumped out of the window. "That…bastard…!" Flippy glared at his father as he limped down the road until he finally fell over… probably dying from blood loss. But his eyes…. He eyes had that bone chilling yellow tint glowing as if wanting freedom… Flippy quickly focused his gaze on me, and then helped me up. We walked through the back opening of the house and then walked all the way around to mama's car. Flippy unlocked it and opened the door for me… I looked at the remains of my house, remembering how the fires chased us to the back door. Nothing survived the flames' touch as it chased us…

"… We won't have to worry about him… never again…" Flippy kept his eyes on the road as he controlled the car like a master… The yellow glow in his eyes had finally stopped and his eyes stayed that emotionless emerald green they once were… I looked at all of the stuff in the back, there were two bags… The backpack I brought… and Flippy's duffle bag full of stuff.

"…Where will we go now…?" Flippy didn't say anything for while… There was a long silence between us… the longest we've ever had… Then Flippy sighed and looked in my direction… He gave a slight smile to reassure me that we were going to be okay… "We're… going to Happy Tree… We'll be safe there at least…" I looked at him in shock; we were going to the home of the Demon story… and the town where it's told that even after you die, you'll be revived with knowledge of what killed you… "But… where will we live…?" Flippy pulled out a flyer and handed it to me while he kept his eyes to the road. "Here… I've already reserved it, all we need to do is pay…" … I noticed at the bottom of the paper that he had reserved it a few minutes before the house was set on fire.

"… I'm… scared…" I whispered under my breath… and luckily Flippy didn't hear it, and eventually I fell asleep in the car… My mother's scent floated throughout the air in the car, the warmth of the seats giving off a feeling of nostalgia… Eventually I fell asleep but I could have sworn that Flippy was trying to talk to me about something but then noticed that I fell asleep… "I guess we should stop here for the night…" Flippy probably pulled the car into a parking lot and opened the windows. He turned off the motor and lay down; the noise of him shifting was disturbing. I opened my eyes slightly to see that he was staring at me with a comforting look… I slowly started falling asleep again, but as I did I could feel that he was petting my head and saying "Its okay" over and over again….

Maybe I wasn't exactly alone in the world… I had Flippy, and Flippy had me… We would take care of each other as much as we could, we would protect each other…. We were like the family we never had… We were closer with each other than our own family members, whether they are deceased or not… but there was something more hiding between our feelings… may they be intimate or not, we'll deal with them together… But officially…. We both had nowhere to run… Suddenly it was morning, and Flippy wasn't sitting in front of me anymore…

"Fli…ppy…?" I looked around to see that he was walking back from a small store carrying a bag of food. He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

"Well morning! Want some breakfast? I bought some breakfast burritos, hot dogs, and some juice." Flippy opened the bag and I picked out a burrito and a bottle of apple juice…

"Where are we Flippy…?"

"I think we're about an hour away from Happy Tree? But then we also have to go and find the house that's on reserve… So it'll probably take an hour and a half… why?"

"I… need to go…" Flippy froze and his face instantly turned red. He pointed towards the store and gave me the directions to where the bathroom was. I rushed in and quickly found it, but there was someone standing in front of it. We waited a few minutes and finally both of the girls had done their business and left… But as they walked past me they both gave me dirty looks. I paid it no mind and quickly used the bathroom. I sat there and thought about the events of yesterday… It all seemed so unreal… yet… it was frightening…. I got up and looked in the mirror to see that my eyes had black circles around them… and my hair had turned into a darker shade of red because of the smoke. I finished up and quickly ran out and back to the car. I saw that Flippy was messing with the radio, but when he noticed me he immediately turned it off and started the car.

"… Let's… g-g-go…" I quickly stepped in the car and Flippy immediately started driving off. I stared out the window and watched as the scenery flew by, and eventually… we passed by the Happy Tree border line sign.

Happy Tree City Limits

Welcome!

City Gates 10 miles

"W-Wha?! It's s-so far…" Flippy laughed, and tried to concentrate on the road…

"Don't worry, it won't seem as long as it really is. We keep each other company and time flies by!" He smiled and laughed. What he said just raised my spirits, although I couldn't get the despair out of my heart, I was able to make my day livelier. Flippy and I talked for a long time, and then we finally came up on Happy Tree…

"We're in this together…Right Flaky…?" When Flippy looked at me, a yellow glow lingered in his eyes…

"R-Right…."

GUH okay done! I'm so sorry this came out so late! I'm working on my other one too! But it's just so much work, and then there's also the fact that I got my school homework to do too….

Flippy: I hope she updates quickly…. – GUH *Hit with a rock*

Me: FLIPPY! YOU'RE NOT HELPING! *hair tied up with a good luck headband*
