Chapter 7: Riddles and Clues
10:30 Nurses Clinic
Flaky laid unconscious on the white bed surrounded by Nurse Jenny, Felix, Petunia, and Lammy. "Is she gonna be alright, Doc?" Felix asked. "I don't know, honey," Nurse Jenny sighed. "It's a good thing you brought her here before her condition could get worse." Suddenly, Flippy and everyone else (Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, and Lumpy.) came bursting through the door. "Is Flaky alright?" Flippy said franticly. "Where is she?" "She's alright," Nurse Jenny said. "But she's still knocked out, though." "How did this happen?" Toothy asked. "Did she eat some bad tuna?" ' "Ask her," Petunia pointed to Lammy. "She talked to Flaky before she fainted." "You!" Flippy exclaimed. He grabbed Lammy by the collar of her sweater and hoisted her up in the air. "What did you say to Flaky?!" He barked. "Why are you here?" "I don't know what you're talking about," Lammy said innocently. "I'm just an exchange student from France. I just flew in last night." "Don't give me that crap!" Flippy shouted. "You were at Dante Street with us weeks ago!" "Sir, please let her down," Nurse Jenny said meekly. "Yes, Monsieur," Lammy smiled. "Let me go or, else." "Or else what?" Flippy asked. "I don't know, Fliqpy," Lammy said with an evil smile on her face. Flippy had a shocked look on his face and was now terrified by the young woman. "H-h-how did you… know?" He trembled. "It... it's… impossible." "Just put me down NOW." Lammy ordered. Without any objection, Flippy lowered her down and released his grip on her collar. "Thank you, Monsieur," Lammy smiled as she picked up Mr. Pickles. "I wish I could stay, but Mr. Pickles and I have an important meeting we need to go. So until we see other, I bid you all adieu." Lammy walked out the room and closed the door behind her. "Who… who… is she?" Flippy thought. "I haven't been this afraid since the time I almost died in the attack on the base. How can a one woman be terrifying as the sight of the dead around me?"
"Hey, Flippy, ya alright?" Toothy asked. "You're pale as a ghost." "I'm... I'm fine," Flippy hesitated. "I'm more concern about Flaky." "What can we do?" Giggles sighed. "What if she never wakes up?" "Duh, I have an idea!" Lumpy smiled. He went over to Flaky and lifted up her body by the shoulders. "FLAKKKY!" Lumpy yelled as he shook Flaky's unconscious body. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Everyone looked at Lumpy as if he lost his f**king mind. "What the hell are you doing?!" Cuddles yelled as he, Flippy, and Nurse Jenny stopped the dumb jock from hurting Flaky. "Are you trying to make Flaky stupid as you!?" "Duh, I was tryin' to help!" Lumpy pouted. "Mama used to wake me like that when I was a baby. I thought it would wake Flaky up." "That explains a lot," Petunia whispered to Giggles. "Just let her down, you moose!" Flippy ordered. "You gonna kill her if you keep doing that!" "Watch it, little man!" Lumpy growled as he put Flaky on the bed. "You don't have to call me a goose!"
"I said that you were a moose, you dumbass!"
"Duh, what did ya call me?! I'll knock the shit right out of your mouth!"
As Flippy and Lumpy continued to bicker with each other, Flaky began to stir from her slumber. "Where... where… am I?" She groaned as she sat up. "Why… why... is the room spinning?" "Flaky! You're alright!" Flippy cried out in joy. He rushed over to Flaky and hugged her. "Duh, I told you that would help!" Lumpy smiled triumphant. "Shut up, Lumpy." Felix said coldly. "You're lucky that you didn't send her to the afterlife after that little stunt you did." "Flippy? Nurse Jenny? Felix?" Flaky asked as Flippy let her back on the bed. "What's everyone doing here?" "You fainted in the middle of class, sweetie," Nurse Jenny smiled warmly. "Felix and Petunia carried you to the clinic." "They did?" Flaky said as she glanced at Petunia and Felix. "Thank you, guys. I… Wait! Where's Sniffles?" "Sniffles?" Toothy raised a brow. "You just woke up and now you're worried about Sniffles?"
"Can you hold on to this?" Petunia asked as she handed Giggles her purse. "I need to use the little girls' room." "Again?" Giggles sighed as she took the purse. "You just went an hour ago. You really need to lay off the soda." "Shut up!" Petunia blushed. "I can stop whenever I want! I'm not like Nutty." She opened the door and saw a skeleton staring at her. She shrieked and almost pissed herself until she saw that it was just Sniffles rolling a skeleton display in the room. "Nurse Jenny?" Sniffles said. "I'm here to return Mr. Bones. Um, what's going on?" "Sniffles!" Flaky exclaimed. "You're alive!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we alive!" Petunia groaned as she danced around. "Now get out my way!" She pushed Sniffles aside and run in the hall. "I guess that politeness isn't alive," Sniffles sighed. "Anyway, what happened here?" "Flaky fainted," Felix answered. "We came here as soon we could. Lumpy almost killed her trying to wake her up. To his credit, it really worked. " "Oh my," Sniffles gasped. "Are you alright, Flaky?" "Never better," She nervously smiled. "I feel like a million b-" Suddenly, she threw up right on Toothy's shirt, munch to his dismay. "Alright..." Flaky said as she wiped her vomit off her mouth. "I feel better now." "EWWWW!" Toothy muttered. "You... puked on me!" "Must have been a delayed reaction," Sniffles said. "I better get back to class. You guy better get going too." "I guess," Giggles sighed. "I'll get Petunia or else we'll be late for Home Ec. What are you boys going to do?" "Duh, I have math with Sniffles and Felix," Lumpy said. "I swear that Mr. Al hates me." "What a shock." Cuddles sneered. "Anyway, I need go the library. I have an over-due book, and if I don't return it soon, Ms. Rod will kill me."
As soon as everyone left, Flaky, Flippy, and Toothy were the only people in the clinic. Nurse Jenny left to get Toothy a new shirt. "I'm sorry for vomiting on you, Toothy." Flaky blushed. "Can you forgive me?" "Sure, Flaky," Toothy smiled as he took off his shirt. "Just aim for the can next time, ok?" "Alright, I will." Flaky laughed nervously. "Thank you for making me feel better." "Hey, what happened to you?" Flippy asked when he saw scars on Toothy's back. "They look like whip scars." "It... it's nothing," Toothy flinched. "I had accident when I was a kid. It's nothing to worry about." Flippy knew that Toothy was lying, but before he could talk, he was interrupted by a load ringtone coming from Flaky's cell. "I wonder who it is." She said as she checked her phone. "Oh it's Frankie! He says he wants to talk through the holoscope. Can you two please stand back?" She pointed her phone to the middle of the room and pushed a button. Three beams of light were projected from the phone and started to form into human like shape until a young man with red spike hair appeared. He had a feminine yet clearly masculine body and wore a grayish-red shirt with long black sleeves and black jeans. "Hey, Nee-chan!" The young man smiled. "Do you love the gift I sent you?" "Yes I do, Frankie," Flaky said cheerfully. "Thank you for the tickets. I can wait to see you in the flesh." "That's good to hear!" Frankie laughed. "Oh, Hey Kawaii Toothy! Who's that good-lookin' guy next to you?" Toothy blushed as he covered his bare chest and hid behind the bed curtain. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Flaky said. "Flippy, this is my brother, Frankie." "So this is Flippy?" Frankie smiled. "You're right Nee-chan! He is sexy!" "Ummm…thanks?" Flippy blushed. "This is Flaky's twin brother?" Flippy thought as he saw Flaky's face turned bright red. "He kinda does look like her. If he had breasts and a slimmer body, he could be her identical twin."
"Enough about me," Frankie said. "How's your day going, Nee-chan?" "Well, not so well." Flaky sighed. "I fainted in the middle of class and now I'm at the clinic."
"Are you alright?"
"I'm little dizzy, but other than that I'm feeling a lot better."
"That's a relief. I'm so proud of you, Nee-chan. Even after what happened to Dante Street, you didn't become a nervous wreck like you used to be."
"Thank you, Onii-chan. Wait a sec... how did you know about that?"
"I called Mime this morning. He said that you freaked out in Dante Street before it was destroyed. Tell me, what got you all upset?"
Flaky hesitated at her brother's question. She didn't wanted to relive that awful night, but she knew if she told the two people she trusts, maybe she would feel better. She held Flippy's hand tight and took in a deep breath. "Alright, Onii-chan," Flaky sighed. "I'll tell you, but you promise to keep this a secret. You too, Toothy." "My lips are sealed." Frankie smiled as Toothy nodded silently. "You might think I'm crazy," Flaky said. "But I saw Dante Street fall before it really happened." "You saw it?" Frankie asked with doubt on his face. "What do you mean?" "I had a dream, a vision, whatever!" Flaky trembled. "I just saw people dying! I felt the earth shake below me! It was horrible! Sniffles was run over, Petunia was cut in half, Disco was fried, and… and... Nutty was trampled! You got buried after saving me, Flippy. When I saw you stop breathing, I... I... I.." Flaky then burst into tears and cried into Flippy's chest. "Flaky, calm down!" Flippy said as he held Flaky closed. "You don't have to talk about it if you can't handle it." "I'm... I'm alright," Flaky sniffed as she wiped her tears. "I need to get this off my chest. Where was I? Oh yeah… I thought that you died but when your eyes opened, I was relieved. After the earthquake, we thought that it was all over. But the ground shook again and there was a car crash that injured Splendid and killed Toothy. Splendid, Flippy, and I tried to save Cuddles and Giggles, but they both were crushed. Then the tower started to fall and just before it smashed us, I woke up. We were still alive and the tower was still standing. After we got out of Dante Street, my prediction came true. I feel like it's my fault that Dante Street was destroyed." "Don't blame yourself, Flaky," Flippy smiled as he handed her a box of tissues. "If it wasn't for you, we would be dead. I don't think you're crazy." "Arigato, Flippy," Flaky smiled as she blew into the tissue. "That makes me feel better." "I believe you, too." Toothy said behind the curtain. "I'm still alive because of you. You're a hero!" "Toothy-chan," Flaky smiled. "That's son sweet. She began to cry again, but not out of pain, but in joy.
"So let me get this straight, Flaky," Frankie said with a serious look. "You're saying that you foresaw the disaster of Dante Street before it happened?" "You're saying that you don't believe your sister?" Flippy asked. "Do you think she's crazy?" "Oh, I believe her," Frankie smiled faintly. "It's just that I think something like this has happened before. Remember Flight 180?" "I remember," Toothy said. "The plane was gonna go to France, but it blew up in midflight, killing everyone onboard. What does that have to do with Dante Street?" "Before it took off, some kid named Alex freaked out," Frankie answered as his smiled faded. "He said that he had a vision that the plane was gonna blow up and was kicked off with several other people. Just like my sister and everyone at Dante Street." "That's different," Flippy protested. "That guy was probably a terrorist with a guilty conscience. Dante Street was destroyed by an earthquake and I don't think anyone could control the forces of nature." "Maybe," Frankie sighed. "But there was a similar incident a year after the Flight 180 disaster. There was a huge pile up on Route 23 in White Plains, New York. There was a chick who said that she saw the crash before it happened and stopped other people from going on the route." "Just like me," Flaky gasped. "Does this sort of thing commonly happen?" "I'm not sure," Frankie sighed. "But there's something else that both Flight 180 and Route 23 have in common." "What is it, Frankie?" Flaky asked. "I hope I'm wrong," Frankie said. "But it seems that the survivors of both disasters were…" Then Frankie paused and check his watch. "Shit! I'm sorry Nee-chan, but I need to go." "That's alright, Onii-chan," Flaky smiled. "I'll call you later." "Arigatou Nee-chan!" Frankie said, almost singing. "Sayonara Flippy! I'll see you and Flaky real soon!" Frankie blew a kiss to Flippy and vanished back to Flaky's phone. "I'm glad that he called," Flaky smiled. "Frankie is such a good brother." "He sure is," agreed Flippy. "Although, he seems a bit… ummm…" "Gay?" Toothy asked as he stepped out from the curtain. "I was going to say girly," Flippy blushed. "But if it he is, why did he date Petunia?" "He's bi," Toothy sighed. "Frankie mostly prefers girls and if he goes out with guy, he doesn't show him the same respect that he shows to his girl dates. I tell ya that guy is a complete bastard." "Frankie isn't all that bad," Flaky said. "When our parents died, he held me and Mime together when we lived with our uncle. I don't what I would do if my brother wasn't there for me." "Then why did Petunia break up with him?" Flippy asked. "Did he do something to piss her off?" "I can't tell you," Flaky sighed. "I promised Petunia I wouldn't tell." "Did she catch him in bed with another man?" Flippy teased. Both Flaky and Toothy flinched at what Flippy said and they glanced at each other with uncomfortable looks on their faces. "That... that's not it!"" Toothy laughed nervously. "That's not it at all! Right, Flaky?" "Oh! Right! Right!" Flaky laughed too. "That isn't why Petunia broke up with Franklin!" "Huh?" Flippy said with a confused look. "Wait, Franklin is his real name?" "Opps!" Flaky gasped as she covered her mouth. "I was supposed to keep that secret!"
Meanwhile…
Frankie was onboard a subway train, thinking about what Flaky told him. "Oh please let me be wrong," He prayed. "If I'm right, then my sister is in great danger. Oh God, Buddha, or whoever's in charge. Please let me be wrong."
