Featuring...
Mr Pickles!
Lammy's POV
I sat at the small table; Mr. Pickles sat across from me next to several over stuffed bears. It's just another foul day that I feel like an outcast in this town because of Mr Pickles murdering people. Thank god I haven't lost Petunia or Flaky. Yet I think sometimes Petunia just uses me as a tool to get to Flaky.
The breeze was warm as it blew threw my pig tails. I heard the sound of snickering and Lifty and Shifty ran by me, holding a mysterious bag.
I tilted my head in curiosity, but it quickly faded knowing what kind of mischief the two brothers could possibly be into.
I smiled, seize the day; Shifty turned and looked at me, giving a crooked half smile and a snicker.
Shifty's POV
Lifty and I ran away from the gas station, in our possessions a bag filled with stolen food which would become our dinner for the night.
We ran past Lammy who was sitting with her toy pickle in the park. She wore a purple sun dress with stripped thigh highs; her lavender hair was up in pig tails. She looked cute, but I would never admit it for my brother and I's greed shall always overcome any other feeling.
I must always so Lifty knows what it means to be an alpha in the downtown streets of Happy Tree Land.
My younger brother looked up at me and I passed the bag to him. I looked back at Lammy to meet her gaze; I gave her a half smile, snickering at the thought of the childish woman playing with dolls...
Lifty's POV
I looked up at my older brother, we sat on the steps to our apartment. It had just finished raining and the streets were coated with puddles and mud making the air thick and humid, the sky grey and dull.
Shifty's fedora tilted to the right, his grin stretching from ear to ear. I thought about the way he looked at Lammy earlier, he may not even realize it yet, but I believe that my older brother is changing from the greedy bandit he was into an actual Happy Tree Friend; someone who may feel.
Reaching into the bag, I pulled out some energy bars; this is going to be a long night.
Lammy's POV
"Petunia why do you torture Flaky like that?"
She gave me a sharp look, "She stole something from me, and I can't forgive her."
"Do you mean Flippy?"
She slammed her fists down on the table causing me to jump slightly at the sudden outburst. "Of course I mean Flippy you idiot! No, I mean she stole one of my favorite hand sanitizers."
I'm not sure why I became furious, but I reached for the ground, my fingers dug into the soft dirt and I threw it into her face; "Shut up." I got up and left, leaving the sounds of Petunia's screams and grunts echoing in my ears.
While walking I ran into Mime, we both waved to one another, the red circles on his pale face growing brighter. "Hello Mime, how are you?"
Mime raised his thumbs and smiled. "Would you like to go get some lunch with me?" He nodded, his dark purple bangs brushing against his eyes.
We sat at the diner, Mime at his imaginary food and I stared out the window, leaning my head against my hand. Feeling a tap on my shoulder, I turned back to Mime who smiled and pointed at the pie on display. "What, are you switching diet?" I stated plainly.
He shook his head and pointed at me. I was confused but watched him get up and go to the counter. A moment later Mime returned back with the slice, pushing it across the smooth surface to me. "Oh, thanks," I replied and felt my cheeks heat up.
He always kept that warming smile.
Mime's POV

Shifty's POV
I stared out the window into the night. Sirens wailed down the streets and the stars hid behind the cloud of city lights. Lifty slept; his green pin stripped suit was and replaced with plain sweats and a wifebeater; his body was awkwardly thrown onto the torn and rugged couch.
I sighed, I took off my hat and leaned against the wall. "Is there more to life than money?" Reality hit me hard. What was I thinking? What was I becoming?
"Bro, why are you still up?" I turned around to see Lifty sitting up on the couch, his elbows resting on his knees and his green hair a mess.
"Just making sure the doors were locked. Go back to bed." He mumbled something under his breath, Lifty's sluggish and tall body rose from the furniture and shuffled into the kitchen with the sound of a beer can snapping open. I rubbed my eyes and decided to take a cold shower-
Maybe it'll get rid of some of these annoying thoughts.
Mime's POV

Lammy's POV
Mr. Pickles sat on my window seal swinging his short legs. The night sky cracked as another storm began.
"I just don't know Mr. Pickles. I mean, does Petunia really like me or am.I just another tool like Giggles?"
He stopped kicking his legs momentarily and tilted his top hat. "Yeah I guess you're right."
"Although I may be losing my only friend I seem to be gaining a new one, Mime. He's sweet however sometimes I really wish he would just talk."
I sighed, the clock read two am. Rubbing at my eyes, I took my hair out of its tall pony tails.
"Goodnight Mr. Pickles." He tilted his hat and continued to kick his stubby legs.
...
A/N- I did not intend on Shifty falling in love with Lammy. What I intended was that maybe he was starting to feel other emotions besides greed and deceit. AND I AM SO SOWWIE FOR THE REALLY LATE UPDATE D': I'm really trying but i have no motivation for thks story xC
