Oddly enough, reviews stopped rolling it after 11. No prob, just enjoy the story ^_^

"Hey, Germani."

I looked up into the eyes of a young male. He looks like he may be somewhere around fourteen, and his green eyes are kind and calm. An army beret rests on his head of shining green heir, and his army jacket fits snugly on him from what I can tell.

'Hey,' I say to him.

I get no response, but the boy tilts his head a little, small smile frozen on his lips. The boy is cute, no doubt, but...something about him seems different. I figured all Tree Friends were weird in some way like Kirimi with her schizophrenia or Blizzard with that abusive nature of hers, but I can tell there's something this boy is hiding. And I don't like it.

"Gemani?"

"She's not waking up."

Suddenly the boy frowns at me. Rage lights his face and his pupils turn a harsh yellow color. Sharp teeth sprout from his gums and flames erupt behind him like a battle scene.

"Ger-mani. Geeermaniiiiii..."

"Germani. Dammit, what's wrong with her. Shake her some."

Explosions and screams fill my ears as blinding lights and gunshots suddenly erupted around us. My eyes widen in terror as the boy pulls out a bowie knife and points it at me.

"It's not working."

"Ohmygosh-is she dead!"

The boy lunges and I barely dodge, earning a sharp slice of pain as the tip of the knife made its mark. The boy snarls and spins back at me, knife and eyes glinting dangerously alike.

"Nah, you can see her breathing."

"True...how could someone just fall down and die in the middle of the library?"

I drop down to the left as the knife thrust into the air my chest occupied a second ago. Another explosion erupted and my bear ears shrieked with pain.

"..."

"What?"

"Kirimi, go lie down."

Finally, the green-haired bear-boy is upon me. 'Prepare to die, bitch!' I close my eyes, knowing the end is near as my legs suddenly felt like jelly and all legible thoughts escape my mind. All I can think of is Scary, my precious little brother.

I'm sorry.

"Hi-YA!"

Germani let out a shriek as she was suddenly flung out of bed and sailed into the wall across the room. She hit the wall with a dull thud and crumpled to the ground, breathing heavily. A pair of freakishly white feat appear in her blurring field of vision.

"Whoops," a voice said. "Sorry. I didn't mean to fling ya that hard." Germani shakily propped herself up on her elbows to find herself at the feet of no other than Blizzard the Arctic fox. The brown bear let out a groan and tried to clear the swirling images.

Kirimi came stomping down the stairs, her eyes clearing. "Is she up!"

Blizzard shrugged. "I'd like to think so."

Gemani staggered to her feet but collapsed again. Her head was pounding. The bear seriously considered training again, such a small toss shouldn't have hurt that badly. "Yeah, I'm okay," The bear murmured. "I just...I just need some water."

"Water my ass," Blizzard laughed."It can wait. We've got to get Handy so we can go get Fear or whatever his name is from the hospital."

"Oh my gosh, you're right! Fe-I mean Scary heals today!" Germani shrieked, all of her tiredness evaporating. "We've gotta go! We've gotta move! Let's move!"

"B-but-" Kirimi started. "Don't you wanna eat? What about your-"

Germani pulled the bluette into a fierce hold. "Let's move move move move move move move MUH-WOOOOOVE!" (1)

Blizzard laughed again. "Now that's the type of energy I like." The arctic fox walked across the living room and reached into a box that certainly wasn't there earlier. She pulled a long thing out of it, which she strapped to her back.

Germani stared at the fox, who glared back. "What?"

"What's on your back?" Germani said.

"It's a nunya," Blizzard said impatiently. "You've heard that line before, I'm sure, so let's go!"

"WAIT!" Kirimi screamed. Both bear and fox stared in surprise, and Kirimi took a calming breath. "You two aren't going to welcome Scary back to life in your pajamas, are you?"

"B-but-" Germani started.

"Why not?" Blizzard whined.

Kirimi began pushing the two up into her room where their clothes were. "Handy's gonna be here in twenty minutes," The blue fox stated. "Take a bath, or at least wash up, and put your clothes on. I'll be cooking breakfast, which you will eat. THEN we can move move MUH-woooove."

Germani rolled her eyes. "Muh-wooove? Who says that?"

o0o0o0o

After Germani and Blizzard got dressed, the bear decided to take the time to admire her clothing. She had on a pair of gray skinny jeans and a blue top, wearing matching blue Converse. Blizzard was wearing her usual black attire, sword still strapped to her back. About two minutes later, Handy arrived and Kirimi presented her guests with a delicious looking plate of pancakes, sausage, fruit and waffles. But Germani was in no mood to eat, not when her entire body was tingling in anticipation. Oh, the questions she would ask. Scary, did it hurt badly? Scary, what was it like in death? Scary, what was the first thing you saw when you woke up? Germani was buzzing with excitement, longing for the rest of the group to hurry the hell up and eat.

After a tantalizingly slow meal and dish-washing duty, Germani shot out the door, followed more slowly by Kirimi, Handy and Blizzard.

"C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon!" Germani shrieked impatiently as the three carefully made their way down the sidewalk. "Let'sgolet'sgolet'sgolet'sgo!"

"Alright, alright!" Handy said, picking up the pace. When they finally reached Handy's truck, the orange-haired boy looked expectantly at the other three.

"I'll drive," Kirimi offered immediately.

"Hells no," Blizzard shot a pale arm in front of her cousin. "I may be in Happy Tree Town, but I still value my life just a little bit."

Handy shrugged, and Kirimi opened her mouth to argue. Germani, however, wasn't having that.

"JUST GET IN THE FUCKING CAR AND DRIVE!"

"Alright, damn!"

o0o0o0o

"SCARY!" Germani screamed.

"He's not here yet." Blizzard groaned. Handy suddenly looked a little shy to be soon confronted by his victim. Kirimi's eyes suddenly spaced out and she sat down by the doorway, staring intently at the floor.

Suddenly a sky-blue haired male entered the waiting room, his eyes hidden behind thick, bottle-nose glasses. He looked smart enough with his Doctor's coat fastened on correctly (unlike Dr. Lumpy's), i.d tag straight and clipboard held upside-up in hand. "I'm looking for Germani. Is she here?"

Blizzard lazily lifted a finger towards Germani. "That's her over-"

"YEAH, THAT'S ME!" Germani raced forward and slammed Blizzard out of the way. "How's my brother!"

Handy looked up and greeted the Doctor casually. "Sniffles. How are you?"

"Fine, thanks." The male, apparently Sniffles, replied. "Next time, ask me for surgery and not Lumpy in there the next time you and Petunia have any mishaps."

Sniffles didn't seem hostile at all, and Handy just rolled his eyes. "Sure."

"AHEM." Germani said rudely. "My brother? Please...?"

"Oh, of course. Sorry." Sniffles looked back towards a dark doorway. "SCARY! YOUR SISTER IS HERE!" Turning back to Germani, he offered her the clipboard. "Please sign here, and also here at the bottom, miss."

Germani took the pen with a shaky hand when suddenly she was tackled from the side. She screamed as she hit the floor, flailing at the giggling mass upon her.

"Germani! It's me!" The body said.

Germani looked up into the eyes of her little red-headed brother, who was wearing a long hospital gown. "Scares! You're alright!"

"Duh." Scary looked up to see who was in the room. "What the eff? Kirimi, who's that fox and that armless dude?"

"My name's Blizzard," Blizzard cut in before Kirimi could respond. "I'm Kirimi's cousin, but you can also call me Yuki."

Kirimi blanched. "WHAT! He can call you Yuki but your OWN cousin can't?"

"No." Blizzard said bluntly. "Sorry, cuz. Maybe next time."

"Okay okay," Scary grinned. "What about the boy over there?"

"Oh-" Hnady suddenly blushed. How could I have possibly ran this bundle of life over? I must have ruined him, aw damn! If I tell him what I did, he might not forgive me! What will I DO? Everyone forgives me!

"Hello?" Scary said. "HELLO? You okay?"

"I, um, it's-" Handy stammered. "I-my name's Handy. I um...I kinda ran you over with my truck yesterday, and well, you kinda...died."

Scary stared at the beaver so hard Handy flinched. Then, out of nowhere, he let out a shriek of excitement and raced forward to hug Handy.

"COOL! I died, but I'm alive, and you killed me, and your truck, and Blizzard, and Tree Friends, and OH COOL!" Scary shrieked. "You have TOOLS! I like this guy! I like him a lot!"

Handy looked quite shocked but also pleased at his random forgiveness. "Erm... so you don't hate me?"

"NO! I also like your tools." Scary still hadn't let go.

"Well, feel free to play with them any time!" Handy chuckled.

Blizzard grinned evilly and coughed into her hand. "HACKTCH... he can play with his tools."

Kirimi smacked her cousin's bleach-white hair and Germani blushed.

Is it that obvious that my brother's gay? Germani gulped.

Heeeeeeeeeere's LEXIS! Review, please!
