Behind his enemy lines Prolougue
Flaky waited on her porch, bouncing lightly on her heels. She crossed her arms and stared off into the distance. It was a warm morning, yet cloudy. The birds were chirping in the trees. The street was empty, not a soul in sight. She looked down at her feet, they had been turned inwards now. She took a deep breath. "C'mon." She whispered anxiously. She stepped forward lightly, and began to walk down her steps with caution. Uncrossing her hands and placing them behind her back, her clammy palms comforting the other. As she walked down her pathway to the street, she glanced quickly both ways. Now looking down the street, "Where is he?...Oh gosh" She said quite worriedly.
"Hello, Miss Flaky-" A gentle voice replied behind her.
"Ah!" Flaky yelped. She curved her spine inwards and jolted forward like someone was trying to grab her. She quickly turned around panting. Her hands were balled in fists by her chest, but not in a defensive way, but an protective way.
"I'm sorry Miss Flaky, I didn't mean to scare you." The light blue haired man said politely.
"It's okay, Lumpy. I...I just didn't know it was you." She replied, letting her shoulders and back ease into normal position. "Ha ha..." Flaky laughed nervously.
"I had to come through the woods this time, I was up all night on Animal Control Duty again." He smiled.
"Oh, really?" She said in a much more comfortable tone. He nudged her back lightly and nodded forward. She started walking down the street.
"Thank you for taking me every morning, I know you're very busy. I am sorry, I really am. I just...I dont know, It-"
"It's fine Flaky. Stop being so crazy, I love helping my friends." He looked down at her and smiled again. He was very tall, the tallest guy in town, and she, the shortest.
"You're right. S-sorry. Thank you...sorry." She stammered with her pointer fingers butting into each other in front of her. Lumpy sighed shaking his head, chuckling to himself.
"You're something else, Miss Flaky. Something else"
