11 Trying to Heal a Wound

Flippy laid in his bed, it was 10: 46 AM, he planned on not getting out until he had to use the bathroom, and then get back in his bed, feeling depressed, disgusted and disgruntled, and everything was making him sick.

Flaky had broken his heart, but it confused him to no end, it just wasn't like her! He was also upset at himself, angry how he'd spoken to her like that, he didn't mean it, and now he was afraid she'd never talk or look at him again…he didn't even have a chance with her anymore, she belonged to the…(and as Flippy liked to call him now-) The Disco 'Retard'.

"You disgust me, get out of bed- have breakfast, do something! You can't stay in this bed forever; this is not how a solider does things! And don't start your crying again over that whore!" the dark voice growled angrily in Flippy's mind.

Flippy simply groaned, rolled over and hid his face in his pillow, and whined pathetically into it, "Leave me alooonneee! And don't call her that!" he said, the pillow smothering his voice, he knew he was acting like big baby, but he didn't care, no one was around to see his flattened dignity and squashed ego…in fact, he didn't even have a ego anymore.

His mint green bear ears perked up when he heard a knocking sound, it was soft but loud- and it had a tune to it that only he and Flaky knew about, he sat up and rubbed his face, and both eager and un-eagerly got up to get the door.

Flaky's legs quivered nervously, and her eyes went a little wide when she saw Flippy, goodness he was a mess!

His cap wasn't on his head, his fur was messy, his outfit was unbuttoned but he still wore his dog tags, his eyes were pink and a little swollen- probably from crying.

They stared at each other, both frowning sadly, a thousand questions popping in both of their tattered minds, this including quiet, mental: screaming, crying and groans.

Flaky stepped forward and noticed Flippy step back one.

"I need to explain…please…and if I saying anything mean- it'll only be because I won't be saying it…," suddenly, before she could see Flippy's next expression or next word, she blacked out. Scarlet growled, "I just wanted to say that you had no right Flippy, calling me like that! How dare you even follow me around- and promise or not, I have a right to stand up for myself!" Scarlet then pushed herself in the living room and slapped Flippy, hard. Tears began to overflow in his eyes- confused and deeper in pain.

She pushed him, but the dark side in Flippy caught her paws- then, his evil side came out, his face twisted, angry and eyes yellow green and crazed.

Scarlet merely grinned back, but fell on to the floor hard as Flippy pushed her back then pinned her, their faces and bodies too close. Flippy cackled darkly and licked the side of Scarlet's mouth, she made a disgusted face and growled in detest and tried to get up, but it was no use, Flaky was never the one to go to a gym, her arms where weak.

"Theres no need to pretend anymore- I know a split personality when I see it, unlike my other half…now, it's time to pick your fate- should I kill you on the spot, or ra-," Flippy was cut off as Scarlet managed to kick him in the gut hard. She had a strange look in her eyes, and she managed to roll out from under him and stood up, far…far away.

"I gotta get out of here!" Scarlet screamed in her mind and then Flaky came back.

Flaky gasped when she saw Flippy on the floor, when he looked up at her, his face was twisted with anger and pain, eyes yellow green and ugly, then he suddenly shook his head and it was back to normal, only more pained than it was before she blacked out.

No one spoke, Flaky's eyes wide and sad, not sure, what the hell just happened…but she was very sure Scarlet just ruined everything for her and Flippy, but she decided to try again.

"I- I didn't mean to say any of that…I…you don't honestly think I would hurt you…do you?" she said stepping forward hopefully, but Flippy glared at her sadly, "I don't know, but get out," he said, his voice a little weak.

"I- no- Flippy…Scarlet isn't me!" she began but Flippy stood up, his face strangely intimidating, it was very hard to look at, his depressed glare stinging in her teary eyes.

"I don't care, whoever Scarlet, or Flaky is…I don't want to see her, I don't want to hear her, I. Want. Her. Out. Of. My. Life!" he said, and with each word at the ending, he pushed her out of his house and then slammed the door in her face.

Flaky whimpered, her eyes dry, no tears coming out, she unwillingly turned to her car and got in to it, she thought she caught a glimpse of Flippy looking at her pitifully through his window, but no one was there when she looked again, she then drove away.

But she didn't go home, instead she went to the park, and sat at the same chair, the same one right before all this chaos started. She hoped it would take her back to that time.

She breathed shakily and laid down, it was uncomfortable, but she didn't care, she felt numb inside and out, she closed her eyes tightly and tried to relax, it was no use.

She laid there for how long, she had no idea, a few times, she thought she felt a pang of hunger, or the pain from the hard wood, but she stayed there, a light rain began to sprinkle, getting her fur wet, but she still didn't care.

Suddenly she felt two arms scoop her up and hold her like a baby.

"Disco Bear," she thought, she was sure it was him, but when she heard the voice, she was very wrong.

"How long did you say she's been here?" a soft voice whispered.

"A few hours I guess," a deeper voice said, it sounded like Lumpy.

"A few hours?" she heard Toothy gasp.

"Something's defiantly up," she heard Cuddles say, and she realized he was the one holding her close.

She groaned, "You're gonna hurt your arms, C-Cuddles,"

Cuddles only laughed, "I've held up an elephant once with just one rope, chill,"

She sighed, "You can put me down," she said and the yellow rabbit did as he was told, when she opened her eyes, she noticed there was more people than she thought.

Lumpy, Toothy, Cuddles, Handy, Sniffles and the Mime looked at her in concern.

"I g-guess I should of gone home…," she mumbled, blushing from the attention and then ran off in embarrassment- "Wait, Scarlet!" Cuddles yelled and ran after her, she only ignored him and got in her car, then tried to close her door- but couldn't as Cuddles held on to it strongly.

"Please Cuddles, if you were smart, you'd stay out of this," she said, frustrated.

"Well I guess I'm stupid, because I want to help," he said, his face sad.

Flaky shut her mouth and looked at Cuddles carefully as she thought, "Okay, get in, I'll explain," she said, Cuddles smiled lightly and closed the door and got in on the passenger's side.

So, she explained everything, with as much detail she could remember, they both winced when she began talking about Disco Bear and she rarely mentioned the kiss (or kisses), but she did mention it sadly. Thankfully, Scarlet didn't interrupt or alter anything…perhaps, (and hopefully for them) Scarlet was capable of sleeping when not in control.

"Wow, so…this was about the dance party…," Cuddles said when she was finished.

Flaky nodded, she then realized how stupid she had been to selfishly decide to change her personality without telling anyone else first.

"I'm an idiot, a-aren't I Cuddles?" she said looking down at her paws as she parked in front of her house.

"No, you're not an idiot, you're really, really smart, you just got…very confused, I can understand you going off the deep end too, I would too," he said and got out and got Flaky's door, she hesitated getting out, but she did.

Before she could move, Cuddles pulled her into a warming hug, she sighed and relaxed, now the numbness was inside her, and this time, Cuddles didn't smell like cologne, he smelled…like the outside, and something of flowers and she liked it.

"So…you're gonna help me? What about Scarlet? How will you know when she'll take over? She does a good job of tricking people," she said, her face on Cuddles' arm.

"Flaky, she can't trick me anymore, now that I know whats going on, but…yeah, she does do a good job on impersonating you- I'll try to keep focused," he said and gave a squeeze before he let go of her.

Flaky smiled but a sad one, her heart was shattered and it was hard to keep Flippy's venomous expression out of her mind.

"Thanks," Flaky sighed and they went inside…after awhile small talk, Cuddles finally decided to talk about something that was bothering him.

"Um…Flaky, I just sort of want you to know that Giggles and Petunia- are really not liking you too much anymore, I think we should set them straight," he said and looked at his pink bunny slippers.

"Don't worry, we will…but who I'm really worried about is Disco Bear, he's really in love with Scarlet, and I just hope he'll be okay IF I ever get back to normal," she said in a depressed tone.

"You know- if you do get back to normal, there still might be chance he could still love you, since he still liked you when you-um, yourself. You can date him if Flippy doesn't want you anymore," he then immediately regretted he'd even said it when Flaky's face became even more depressed, but oddly, her eyes stayed dry.

"Sorry," he then quickly apologized.

Flaky shook her head, "It's okay, and I just might stick with him if Flippy doesn't want me…he's not as bad as I thought, it would take awhile to get used to him though," she said and failed to do her traditional timid giggle, making it sound like a very sad "Aww,"

"You need a break Flaky; you got dark circles under your eyes the size of Sniffles glasses! Would you like some ice cream? I hear girls eat it when their upset, makes em' feel better or something," he said getting up and examining Flaky as if he were a doctor.

"I guess so," Flaky said with a faint smile and laid her head on the couch arm.

Cuddles nodded, "K' I'll be right back," he said and petting Flaky's head randomly before he left.

"I don't understand why your being like this Flaky, your being so immature, forget Flippy already, why would you wanna date a maniac like him anyways? You know it won't work if you try to defeat me, I'm better than you at everything, remember? Stop being idiotic!" a voice in her said suddenly, obviously Scarlet.

"Just leave me alone! I love Flippy just like you love Disco Bear, and you ruined my chance with ever being with him! I will never get to feel what it's like to kiss him because of you now! Your- your- horrible!" Flaky thought back to Scarlet, her eyes closed and she winced as she did this.

"Oh I'm so scared, ohhh, whatever will I do? Hahaha! And by the way, you can never love Flippy like I love Disco Bear- your mind will never be…mature enough to do the things I plan on doing with my Disco cutie!" Scarlet said back with a sly tone in her voice.

Flaky gasped in horror, as soon she realized what that meant "No! You wouldn't! Not yet! Not with my body! That's gross!" she said back mentally, cringing in the couch, her cheeks dark red as she held her paws over her mouth.

She was suddenly tooken out of her conversation as she felt something tap at her arm, she opened her eyes to see Cuddles with her ice cream, and she calmed down some and took the bowl.

"You alright there? You look like you were having a really weird headache," he said as he took his spot next to her, Flaky only scooted away uncomfortably.

"S-Scarlet talked to me…something that she learned…and she said something that really bothered me, about her and- uh…Disco Bear," she said and took a bite of her ice cream.

"Oh? About what?" Cuddles asked innocently.

Flaky winced as she looked at her ice cream "Let's just say…that Scarlet probably plans on having me wake up one morning in the bed next to…him," Flaky said and shuttered, then turning on the TV to distract her from any bad thoughts that might come up.

Cuddles frowned, stared, and stared until he went crossed eyed, but he couldn't help but shutter himself "Gross…," he spat out in a raspy voice.

Aww, wasn't that last part just cute? Heh, heh.

(Sorry, but I never promised this to be an 'innocent' story! I know some HTF stories aren't…But I wouldn't worry too much about what Scarlet said, she's gonna be too busy messing with Flaky's head anyways XD)
