Flaaakyyy~"

The bubbly pink friend waved at Flaky who seemed to be day dreaming or having a nightmare. She really couldn't tell since she looked flushed yet sad. Giggles glanced over to Cuddles who was also trying to catch her attention. He gave her a shrug in response to her questioning look.

Flaky had been puzzled ever since that incident with Flipqy, she can't tell if she should be happy it was Flippy who kissed or be depressed that it was a monster who stole her first kiss. She had mix feelings that made her think deeply.

"Hey, is that Flippy?"

Hearing the one name made Flaky snap back to reality. She first looked in front of her and around her to find out he wasn't in sight. Then figuring out she was tricked.

"I thought that would bring you back to us!"

Lammy said with a slay grin, and rustled Flaky's red locks. She blushed in response, her eyes darted away from them sheepishly.

"Soo, you never told us, what happened yesterday?"

Petunia suddenly brought it up, she was worried about her, but Flaky didn't want to answer.

"Come on, Flaky. You can tell us!"

Cuddles pleaded her as he placed a friendly hand on her shoulders. Flaky jerked at his palms and moved quickly away with a frightened look in her eyes. This caught Petunia's concern, the goes for all her friends.

"S-Sorry, I'm just...a little uh..jumpy t-today..."

Flaky immediately apologized for her actions. Giggles and Lammy exchanged glances with each other.

"You know, you could tell us what's bothering you, Flaky..."

Giggles suggested calmly as she walked up to her timid friend. Lammy nodded in agreement, as Cuddles and Petunia nod their heads also.

"...I don't know...its n-not important..."

"It's clearly not if you don't want to talk about it..."

Petunia said bluntly, Cuddles have her a worried look.

"But, you know if you don't want to say anything..."

"Come on, Cuddles! My poor friend looks so troubled!"

Giggles complained loudly as she turned to the yellow haired boy. He backed up in response, and regained his courage.

"Well, it isn't helping if you force her to talk!"

"Well excuse us! We're trying to figure out what's wrong so we can help Flaky!"

Lammy jumped in their conversation with a brute force. Now Giggles and Lammy was just arguing with Cuddles. Petunia was busy trying to stop this nonsense. The tension was off of Flaky, she quietly sneaked away from the loud group and walked to school on her own.

(This ain't good..I can't keep ignoring the problem...but what can I do?)

Flaky wants to cry that someone like 'him' stole something so precious, yet it was her crush's lips. These thoughts just messed with her head.

Her busy mind didn't help where she was going, her face soon smashed into a huge tree on the side of the sidewalk. Stumbling backwards in shock, and fell to the her side as she cried out in pain.

"Ah! Ouch, ouch~"

( why am I stupid? I can't even watch where I'm going...)

She counted how many times this happened to her, but stopped knowing it's been forever. Watching the fluffy cloud in the sky slowing move across her view, Flaky didn't feel like getting up right away.

" miss! Are you alright? Did you sprain your knee or anything?"

A worried voice called out from above, it belonged to a man. Flaky face grew pale seeing the mighty hero Splendid hovering over her

She yelped with surprise as she quickly got to her knees.

"N-No! Not at all! I just tripped!"

"Poor girl! You look so frightened, is something troubling you?"

Splendid flowed down as he step onto the ground to face her. Flaky gulped nervously as he stared down at her with an uncomfortable look. She got up to her feet, and dusted herself off to met eyes with him.

"S-See? I'm alright, no need to..be worried!"

The blue hero let out a relived sigh and smile great fully at the timid Flaky. Her on the other hand was uncomfortable, this was the hero was made her a human air ballon.

"I see! I thought you were injured..."

"Sorry...for worrying you..splendid.."

Flaky bowed her head over to him, she felt bad causing the great super hero to stop in his tracks to help her out.

"Oh hey! I knew I recognized you before!"

"Huh?"

"Your that one girl who almost fell off a roof, and I saved!"

Splendid glanced at the sky with a wide grin, it would seem that he was congratulating himself once more. Flaky smiled nervously, she only hoped he wouldn't consider helping her any further.

"Oh! There you are, Flaky!"

She slightly jerked, turning to her head to the side to see Giggles and the others. They looked like they were out breath. It soon occurred to Flaky that they must have been looking for her!

"I'm sorry, did I cause you trouble?!"

"Don't run off like that! Flaky, we thought Flippy took you away!"

Petunia hurried to her trembling friend, and bumped her head with her palm. Cuddles was right behind her, then took notice of Splendid. He soon felt his heart dropped seeing the terrifying hero who was in front of him.

"I-I'm soo sorry! Forgive me!"

"It's alright, we're glad your safe..right guys?"

The clean freak turned over to her friend who stood frozen where they stand. She gave them a question look then followed their eyes to see the blue hero, then jumped back in surprise.

"Ah! O-Oh! M-Mister..Splendid!"

Petunia quickly greeted the man, awhile backing up slowly to gain some distance. Splendid have them a wide grin.

"Hello, civilians!"

They flinched at the sight of his hand waving at them, as if he was going to attack. Flaky could just feel the fear in the area they were in. She noticed there were only two of her friends, glancing behind them to Giggles standing there emotionless.

"Splendid?"

Her voice sounded breathless yet delighted. Flaky glanced back at her, then back to the Superhero who had this look on his face that she can't read.

"G-Giggles?"

His eyes went to relaxed to widened with shock. It was written all over his face. All was dead silence up until Giggles took a step forward, and smiled gently at Splendid.

"Splendid! It's been awhile-"

In the middle of her sentence the hero blasted off causing the ground to shake and a powerful force of wind knocking them to their feet. Flaky squeaked she was caught off guard.

"Wait!"

Giggles distressed voice called out to the empty sky. All was calm once again, the trees lost most of their leaves from the heavy gust of wind. Flaky stayed face down on the ground, her body was trembling lightly. Her palms ached from the hard landing, but helped lift her body off the wet grass. Finally, standing on her shaking knees, and stared weary at Giggles who stood like a statue.

"G-Giggles? Why..?"

There was no reply, her bubbly friend kept her gaze towards the sky. Flaky jolted feeling patted her shoulder, and turned to see Petunia using her as some stool to keep her balance. As for Cuddles who was struggling to stand on his own.

"Why did you greet that freak?!"

The clean freak barked angrily, but she quickly noticed her friend was uncharacteristically silent.

"...Giggles, what's up?"

It was cuddles who popped up the question once he finally had something to lean on, which was Flaky. The poor girl's legs were quivering to stay standing.

"It's nothing..I'll explain later but I think we're late for school.."

Giggles casually answered back with that same smile. They all stared at her with wonder and confusion. The bubbly girl scampered off right past them. Flaky followed her with her eye that were filled with deep concern. Despite the violent shaking in her knees, her throat felt stuck as if words were too scared to jump out to call after her. For some reason, Giggles looked too fragile at that moment, it scared her.

"How dare she leave us in the dark!"

Petunia exclaimed loudly as she dashed off to catch up. Cuddles groaned exhaustingly, and gave chase as well. Flaky squealed as she realized they were leaving her behind and hurried to along. She didn't feel right, her gut was telling her she should go back. But this feeling was natural, so she ignored it easily.

Giggles has been avoiding the topic the whole day, and act as if the event earlier never happened in the first plane. She wouldn't even talk to Petunia about, and they best friends! Flaky wanted to help, but she had other things to worry about. If Giggles didn't want to talk about it, she shouldn't bother her. The nervous girl noticed Flippy wasn't at school today, it gave her this sinking feeling. But also a pinch of worry. She just can't understand, how can That monster and Flippy be in the same body? Why did it had to be him?

Her fingers softly touched her lips where his skin brushed and pierced sweetly.

(...as long as it was Flippy's lips, it's alright...right?)

Flaky abruptly slapped her cheeks in embarrassment, and violently shake her head. Doing so made the present thought get pushed away from his fragile mind. She can already felt the red burn in her cheeks. Her cold palms was a relieve for her as she rubbed them against her heated face.

"Uh, are you going to go in, Flaky?"

She jerked in fright and twirled around to see Cuddles friendly face. Flaky soon remembered she was standing right in front of the girls restroom, and blushes sheepishly.

"O-Oh! N...no. How long was I..?"

"Not sure. Hey, how's Giggles?"

Cuddles eyes took a depressed stare, and put his hands in his pockets uncomfortably. Flaky shared her worried frown as his answer which he took notice to and his eyes drifted down.

"Oh...well, I hope Petunia can help her out. I may be her boyfriend but I'm not good at girl stuff.."

Once those words were spoken out of Cuddles mouth, Flaky froze for a half a minute and reeled back in shock.

"You and Giggles are d-dating?"

The yellow haired boy jerked in embarrassment at that word "boyfriend", and laughed nervously. His hand found itself rubbing the back of his neck. Flaky felt amused by this new information.

"Haha, yes we are...for a year at least..."

"W-Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Flaky hung her head down below her shoulders in despair. But she shouldn't be surprised, Giggles was the most popular girl in school, why wouldn't she have a boyfriend? Also, they only have been friends for two weeks, she's sure Giggles would of told her in a month or so.

"I thought everyone in the school knew. Sorry though, I'm already taken. Haha!"

Cuddles laughed at Flaky's bashful face that lit up in red. Her hands held up in front of her shaking wildly.

"N-No, no, no! It's not-! I-I mean, I like you as a friend! Your nice but-"

"Calm down. I was just kidding around. I already know you have your sights for mister Flippy!"

"W-W-Wha-!"

Flaky was baffled at his wordplay, and her face streamed with fire in her cheeks that reached to her ears. She knew it was a child's crush but it wasn't a serious one. Cuddles was startled as she dropped to knees and tears poured down her cheeks. She broke down. He immediately crouched down with her, and started apologizing hoping she'd stop speaking like she's crazy.

"H-Hey! Flaky! Are you okay? Say something! I'm sorry, don't cry~!"

With Petunia

She sighed silently as she walked out of the school's front entrance. The clean-freak gazed at the dimly lit sky due to the sun going down. Petunia wanted to stay with Giggles but she gravely insisted she go on without her. She didn't see Flaky after lunch, all she could assume that she got into some break down and went to nurses office. Cuddles went home early. She was all alone, normally these days she had company but drama seemed to drag her friends down. Petani could only hope thing would go back to the way it was.

(Now that you mention it, I haven't seen that jerk today...)

Petunia grumbled under her breath, she would get Handy back for not being present today. Hey, she might as well go to his place and crash. Not like she has other plans, besides cleaning her house till it's completely spotless.

"Hmph. Looks like I won't be boredafter all.."

With Flaky.

The Teachers eyes were burning into her skull as her head was down. She was punished for not getting to class early, and for arriving 20 minutes late. Flaky lost the nurses note, and her Teacher didn't believe her. She was forced to stay behind for the time she wasted.

"Alright. Get out of there. Don't be late to class again."

His voice was demanding and it scared her. Flaky's head shot up, also getting out of her seat to bow her head at him, and ran for the door. She let out an exhausted breath soon as her feet carried out of the tension of the classroom. Her legs stopped right outside the schoolyard.

"I'm never going to be late again..."

Flaky panted heavily, feeling wind picked up, and her red locks flowed with it. She looked up ahead to see the lonely road, and the thick forest that was on the other side. Flaky quickly trotted across the road, and stopped once she was on the sidewalk. The leaves rustled as the wind blow against the trees. She continued to casually walk home, it was peaceful.

Suddenly, a small sharp gasp came from beyond the brushes right besides her. She twirled towards it and her eyes widen at the familiar voice. Flaky gripped the side of her skirt.

"There's no way...I must be..."

Her sentence was interrupted by another. She knew that kind tone, but what puzzled her was where it was coming from. Flaky quietly but hesitantly scooted toward the sounds, and peered through the thickness of the forest trees. She stayed on the side of the line where the grass was trimmed. Her eyes caught the glimpse of a light pink locks. She wanted to call out but again her throat prevented her.

(Giggles...? Why are you...)

Her gaze saw her hips, and traced her body. Seeing an arm wrapped around her waist, and heard silent moans. Flaky tilted her head get a better view but soon regretted it. Her eyes gazed in deep shock as her breathing stopped in entirely. Giggles lips were firmly pressed against another mans, but this was no ordinary guy.

(...why is she...what is she doing with Splendid..?)
