Hello all! Thank you morning glory (Did I get it right?) for all the support and reviews! I really appreciate the support, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story! I also taken out the fact that everyone who dies in the show comes back in the next episode, so immortality factor is not present! I hope that clears up some questions from the last chapter... So Petunia is really dead now... Just sayin'

Disclaimer: I do not own Happy Tree Friends. Nor, the characters I'm writing this on...

Warning: Terrible writing and that's about it... Hold up, there is a Toothy x Splendid in this chapter though! You gonna have to continue reading to find out what's going on between them! LOTS of talking here also.

ENJOY (If you can... I hope I didn't confuse anyone with the way I set this chapter up)

Previous Chapter to show where I left off

"Promise to not hurt me!?" Splendid cried to a shadowy figure.

"Why would anyone want to hurt you, Splendid? I thought that's why you got your name from: always being splendid..." The voice echoes...

"Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?" Splendid's inquisitive nature came out.

"Someone.. You'll know someday, just keep searching for those answers, and I swear on my soul, you'll definitively find it."

"Fine. Can I at least get a hug from you?"

"Sure thing." The voice responds back to Splendid's request.

As Splendid wrapped his arms around the figure's neck, he felt something metallic rub against his wrist. When Splendid directed his eyes to see the necklace, he only saw dog-tags. Hold up... Dog-tags? Where has he seen these?...

Splendid immediately awoken from his odd slumber dream.

Continuation on where I left off

Splendid got up to go wash his face in the bathroom as the dream replayed in his head. Who was he talking to?

"Someone... You'll know someday, just keep searching for those answers, and I swear on my soul, you'll definitively find it."

Splendid looked at his mirror that was on his medicine cabinet above the sink. He would intensely stare at himself; his hair all over, his soft red eyes, the way he looked was terrifying. He shook away the thought, allowing himself to walk out of the bathroom. He went straight back to his bed and attempted to go back to sleep. That's all he needed to do: sleep away the stress.

Next morning, Splendid woke up pretty late. Although, he didn't care because it was his day-off. He thought about what he would do; at first he thought it would be easy, but he couldn't think of something to last him the day. It depressed him that he didn't have an activity to occupy him. The blue hair fellow lost all intentions to go outside and actually stay inside to clear his head. Get some time to actually relax and bring his sanity back.

Meanwhile, Flippy was cuddling with his girlfriend on the couch. They snuggled pretty close as they watched dramas on the TV. Flippy wanted to say something to Flaky but couldn't decide whether to compliment her beauty or just stay astonished by it. He swore that he wanted to compliment her first, but got lost in the girl's velvet hair as it flipped to the other shoulder to rest on. Flaky saw the look Flippy was giving her and she decided to play around with his emotions for a moment.

"Oh you, I saw the way you were looking at me." Flaky quickly mentioned as she nuzzles on Flippy's chest. The forest hair couldn't stop the blush that was forming and he quickly had to hide it beneath Flaky's red hair. As he shoved his face to conceal the flustered expression, he took a nice whiff of Flaky's hair and somehow got fond to the scent of honey and berries. He couldn't help but feel disgusted for indulging.

Back at the journalist's house, Splendid sat in his wooden chair at the kitchen table. He contemplated about his thoughts, and played around with memories while he's at it. It was a little harmless thinking session until an unwanted memory came out to haunt him again.

"Are you seeing anyone?"

"Yes... Flaky..."

The voices in his head replayed over and over, until he could no longer endure the pain they brought back. It was about time for those memories to disappear and never return, but Splendid wasn't too sure if he had the power to actually make all of them to fade away. It was hopeless, he thought to himself as he got up from his chair and walked over to his coffee machine to stimulate his brain to fight the sudden weariness he was starting to feel. Splendid grabbed his house phone in the living room to call someone. He was only doing it to find some solace and to save himself from his ugly memories.

"Hello?" Splendid announced as he waited for the other person to say something back.

"Yes, Splendid?"

"Yeah, Toothy, are you free today? Or at least have some time that you need to kill?"

"Umm... Sure, I guess. Your house?"

"Yeah, that sounds great."

"See you then, Splendid."

"Thanks, Toothy." Toothy hung up before Splendid ever had a chance to.

Splendid's purple hair friend arrived at the door after about ten minutes; Toothy constantly pressed the doorbell to alert Splendid that he was impatiently waiting for him to open the damn door for him. Out of all Splendid's friends, Toothy had to be the one with the least amount of patience for everything. The purple boy was wearing a light violet scarf around his neck to keep him warm from the chilly weather. As candid as Splendid can be, and as well as the fact that Splendid spent most of his time in the comfort of his house, he didn't think the weather was actually that cold until he opened the door and the breeze hitched onto his face.

"God, it's freakin' cold out there!" Toothy exclaimed as he walked in, casually. Splendid looked at the dark clouds that was spreading around town and thought it would rain soon. He shut the door and rubbed his hands together to warm up his suddenly freezing fingers.

"So what's going on with your life, Splendy?" Toothy asked politely, as he walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

Splendid sat next to Toothy and shrugged at his question. "I honestly don't know what my life is coming to. My head is a mess and I just need something to save myself from those-," Splendid paused as Toothy slapped him with his scarf. Before Splendid could ask why he was slapped, Toothy stripped off his scarf and rested his head on Splendid's shoulder. "What happened to us?" Toothy whispered as he nuzzled on Splendid's chest.

"I... I don't know." It was all Splendid was able to say without triggering something in Toothy that would break his heart again.

"I remember when I was on this couch with you and we would just snuggle all day here. I was also kinda freaked out that you called me as well. I thought we wouldn't be talking after we broke up."

"I'm not you." Splendid harshly stated, but Toothy simply scoffed it off as if he knew he was going to exactly say that.

"You still can't accept that you're gay? Come on, you should be more accepting to yourself by now." Toothy commented.

"I'm not like you, Toothy. Get over it," Splendid stated. He was starting to be a bit angry now.

"Then what was our relationship to you? Was it nothing?"

"Exactly. I never bear feelings for you, I was just being nice to someone who would ask somebody like me out as their boyfriend. You should be grateful I'm kind."

"We never kissed, we never hugged, we never did anything together when we were in public. But here, at your own home, you loosen up a bit. You openly hug me-"

"Only as emotional support." Splendid pointed out, but he was obviously hiding the fact that everything Toothy said was true.

"Yeah, just keep on telling yourself that." Toothy remarked as he got closer to Splendid. The purple hair was amazingly unaffected by Splendid's cold words. It was as if he built a firm wall to prevent the piercing words to come through to him.

"Stop getting closer to me, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable," Splendid announced. Of course Toothy wouldn't listen to his words. He'd been in a relationship with this guy whether Splendid accepts it or not. It happened.

"Are you seeing anyone, Splen? If you are, please do tell me their name." It was Toothy's words that impaled Splendid's heart. He hesitated to answer back, that already gave away the answer to Toothy's question.

"They must be special." The purple hair remarked as he got his head off of Splendid's shoulder. "Flippy." Splendid said.

"Flippy?" Toothy looked at Splendid's eyes as he did not understand. Then it all came to sense, Flippy was the name of the person Splendid fell in love with. After Splendid saw Toothy's facial expression as he figured it out, he started to blush slightly to the idea that he just told his own ex who he now likes.

It wasn't like there was something going on between Flippy and Splendid though; however, he did wish that there was something between the both of them. "Flippy's a guy, huh?" Toothy grinned with his perfect smile, however, there was a gap between his front teeth but it made him feel insecure, so he had to get it fixed. Splendid awkwardly nods as Toothy spontaneously jumps on his lap. Splendid's face went red... Wait... Why was he feeling shy?

"Aww, aren't you cute when you blush?" Toothy commented more than it was a question, he added on, "I told you: you're gay."

Well, that's enough for tonight. Yaay! No praise? Fine... I didn't want to make this extremely long because I fear that some people would get bored. Now, I was thinking that maybe Toothy and Splendid should have a little 'fun' in the next chapter if you guys want. But if not, I'll just continue on with the plot~ I just thought a little smut would be a fun filler sometimes. Anyone confused about what was going on though? I don't want people to flame this story because they were confused or stuff... SO review your comments/questions/whatever! I always respond to them (if I can, or I'll just have to answer them on the next chapter in my author notes).

I would also like to say that I was adding Toothy as the ex-boyfriend of a supposedly homophobic Splendid.

Random Apology: I am sorry that most of the characters personalities here aren't like the ones you'll see on the show. I just wanted to add a new perspective of Splendid, Flippy, Flaky, Sniffles (God, I honestly thought I made him sound like his personality/tone was on a whole different scale compared to the real Sniffles), and etc. I am very sorry, and I hope you find it somewhere to forgive me for giving them such personalities! *sobs* If you is still mad, you can go ahead and read something else *sigh*

Damn that sh!t was long. I really hope you guys enjoy your reading and your day! Thanks for viewing&Goodbye!
