[Ok, time to get started on some of these again. ButterflyBabyBlue will be taking these back after Easter so I will be doing a few more. This one is a story about Eme and Lifty, enjoy!]
Lifty and Shifty made their way through the night, their target, the first house they'd come across. After only a short period of time they located one, a dark blue two story structure with lights completely out. The two gave each other a grin and a snicker as they stalked across the street up to the front door. The two looked around but seen nobody, perfect. The two tested the door and to their luck, it was unlocked. They took one last look of caution to their surroundings and slipped inside. They immediately began ransacking the house pulling out drawers and looting them.
"Awe, damnit Lifty, we need something to carry this stuff in" said Shifty.
"I told you we should have brought the van" Lifty responded.
"Well it doesn't matter now. Damnit, we'll never be able to carry all this stuff out" said Shifty.
"Then we take what we can" said Lifty.
Shifty stopped digging through drawers and thought to himself.
"Alright, we're gotta carry out the most valuable things we can find, then we're gonna trash the place cause I'm pissed off" said Shifty.
"Alright then" Lifty replied.
The two spread out around the house inspecting for valuables.
"Here Lifty, you check up stairs, I'll check down here" said Shifty.
Lifty hurried up stairs while shifty inspected the living room. The décor was very music inspired but the only valuables Shifty was able to find were electronics. He began to wish that he had gone up stairs as there were bound to be heirlooms or something up there but he stayed looking everywhere for hidden treasures.
Lifty reached the top of the stairs and immediately made his way to the bedroom. Inside he found a jackpot of jewelry and portable electronics. Again everything was music themed, it almost felt to him like he was in a music shop. Best of all, there was nobody in here. He smiled wide and his head shot around the room. he found a jewelry box beside the bed and opened it to reveal several music related pieces. He began question it's overall value but that's what his brother was for. He removed a pillowcase from a pillow on the bed and began stuffing it with everything he could on the shelf. He turned his head to look for more. Just as he was about to raid the closet he found something he knew would be valuable, a guitar. He hurried over to it and unplugged the amp from the wall intent on bringing it with him. He dragged it back over to the dresser which he opened and dug around inside of only to find women's panties. He blushed and snickered to himself and quickly shut it. He could hear his brother knocking things around down stairs. With mischief in his mind he opened the panty drawer and flung them all across the room. He stripped the bed and tore everything out of the closet. He knocked whatever becloud carry off of the shelves then hurried over to the night stand. He opened the drawer and stopped abruptly when he found a black book inside that read diary on the cover.
The raccoon snickered and set down what he was going to steal. He flipped open the book to a random page and was surprised to see his name. he snickered to himself again and read it.
"Today, Remmie had taken all of us to the carnival. I'll tell ya, it was great to finally do something to get my mind off of all the problems we had faced lately. It got even better when I set off on my own and found Lifty with his brother. He was so nice to me that today, I was surprised he'd be so generous. He paid for all of my food and everything. It made me so happy to spend the day with him, id don't think his brother liked it very much lol, but we had a great time. We went on so many rides together and ate ice cream on the Ferris wheel. It was so great. But the best part about today was when we went through the tunnel of love together. Ha ha, Remmie and Chunky were shouting the whole time, it was really funny. That time we spent in the tunnel was wonderful, too bad we didn't kiss, he was so nervous to begin with lol. But I'm glad we had that time together, I think he might actually be the one for me, even though he's a thief I trust him, I hope we can do it again sometime, but with all that's been going on, I doubt we'll be able to any time soon, things are getting pretty messed up around here. Anyway I think I'll call it a night. May tomorrow be as fulfilling as today was
~Eme"
Lifty stared in shock at the diary… this was Eme's house, he even remembered doing this a while ago. He dropped the diary and began breathing heavily as his brother entered the room.
"Ha ha! Not a bad haul there, great work Lifty, now let's get out of here" said Shifty.
"We-we can't take this stuff" said Lifty.
"What! What the hell do you mean, you're the one with the sticky fingers, why the hell do you want to drop everything now!" Shifty shouted.
"This… this is Eme's house…" said Lifty.
"Who? that broad who likes you, who gives a damn, this stuff's ours now" said Shifty.
"But… I…" said Lifty, too horrified for words.
"But, but whine whine whine. Buck up and get with the program, all she does is hold you back, besides, she won't know it was you" said Shifty.
Lifty was at a loss for words as his brother handed him the pillowcase of loot.
"Come on, get your ass moving before she gets home" Shifty ordered.
Lifty's emotions conflicted as he subconsciously followed his brother, but his eyes wouldn't peel away from the diary until it was out of sight. The two made their way outside and noticed someone walking in the distance. They were able to recognize the figure as it entered the streetlight it appeared to be a chipmunk, her fur a pale yellow with short brown hair. She wore a white tee-shirt with a necklace of some sort, a white and black checkered skirt, and a pair of headphones.
"Damnit, that's Eme" Lifty whispered.
"Forget about her, if she sees us we're boned" said Shifty.
The two moved away but Lifty turned back around and moved towards the house. Shifty noticed this and dove into a bush hiding himself and the guitar he was carrying. He then reached out and pulled his brother into it with him. Shifty wished to scold his brother but Eme walked up the stairs to her house just beside where they were hiding. They watched as she stuck a key into the door and twisted it. She then tried to open it but it didn't budge.
"Ha ha, whoops, must've forgotten to lock it" Eme said to herself.
She stuck the key back in and re unlocked the door and swung it open. Lifty and Shifty watched as she stood in silence before the mess in her house.
"Wha- what happened here?" She asked to herself as she made her way inside.
"No no no no no, was I robbed?" She asked herself horrified.
They heard the chipmunk run up the stairs and Shifty dragged his brother out of the bushes.
"What the hell was that, you almost screwed us over" Shifty whispered.
"I-I'm sorry" said Lifty.
"It doesn't matter, come on let's go" Shifty growled.
Shifty took off as Lifty took one last look at the house. He began to follow his brother when he stopped and hid behind the corner of the house. He heard Eme run back down the stairs and lean out of the front door, tears falling from her eyes. Lifty watched as she retreated back inside and listened to her cry. As he was about to round the corner to go into the house Shifty returned and grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Let's go you jackass" shifty whispered as he tugged on his brother's shoulder.
Lifty looked to him, then back to the house once more before leaving Eme's house behind. Eme fell to her knees, papers scattered everywhere, pots and pans all across the kitchen. Porcelain broken on the floor. She stared with blurred vision at the mess with no will to clean it. She couldn't believe what happened. After a while of absorbing the hopelessness of the situation Eme lazily closed the door, her diary in hand, she didn't even have the will to write in it. She entered her trashed living room and attempted to turn on the television but the batteries in the remote were gone. Instead she collapsed onto the couch and cried herself to sleep.
Eme awoke to the loud sound of someone knocking on her door. She had no will to answer it and stayed on the couch. For ten minutes this went on, the chipmunk doing her best to ignore it but to no avail. She rolled off of the couch and sauntered over to the door, she didn't even care what was on the other side, even if it was going to kill her, she might just let it. She lazily opened the door and was surprised to see who it was.
"Lifty?" She asked surprised.
"H-hey Eme" he responded, noticing how terrible her face looked from all the crying.
"Now's not a good time Lifty" said Eme.
"No… Eme… I'm so sorry" he said.
"What?" Eme asked.
Lifty reached beside himself and revealed her guitar and amp, then the pillowcase of various items.
"Wh-what? Those are mine" said Eme.
"I know… my er… my brother and I broke in last night. I had no idea it was your house, it was dark… I can't believe I stole from you" said Lifty.
Eme was struck speechless.
"I'd never have done it if I knew it was your house, my brother went crazy and made most of the mess but… I made the one in your room… here take this stuff back… I'll never forgive myself for this… if it will make you feel any better… take this" Lifty said handing Eme a handgun.
Eme took it and stared at it.
"Shoot me, shoot me right between the eyes, I don't want you to be angry or upset anymore, just take me out and give me what I deserve" said Lifty.
Eme stared at the gun and tossed it to the ground.
"Seriously Lifty… you couldn't have expected me to shoot you idiot, I'd never do that to you" said Eme.
"Why not, I deserve to be" said Lifty.
"You were stupid to take it in the first place… but you're not always a bad guy… it's hard for people to see that and your brother doesn't help much. You deserve to get the crap beaten out of you… but instead… how about you help me clean up this mess" Eme suggested, a smile finally spreading over her face.
Lifty smiled and made his way inside.
"I'd be glad to help" he said.
The two smiled and got to work cleaning up the mess. During which there was little conversation but they enjoyed the other's company. Lifty glued the broken porcelain back together and after most of a day they finally finished.
Lifty sat in the living room digging in the cushions where he found the batteries to the remote. As he placed them into the device Eme walked in with a whicker bowl full of popcorn.
"Hey Eme, I found the batteries to your remote… looks like everything's cleaned up so… I guess you're done with me" said Lifty.
"Nonsense, I just popped a whole bag of popcorn an I need someone to share it with" said Eme.
"Well then, shall I see what's on the tellie?" Lifty asked.
"Sure" Eme replied.
Lifty turned ton and ironically it was a cop show, Lifty found himself tempted to change the channel but seen Eme watching intently. He decided against it and reached into the popcorn bowl only to meet Eme's hand. the two looked at one another and shared a laugh as the rest of the day passed by.
