Don't Touch that Remote! Part 2

By Lolitafreak88

No one knew of course about Fliqpy being unleashed and no one had heard Cuddles' screams because the location of the murder was farther away from everyone's location. Handy was currently at the magazine rack and pulled out the airplane magazine that he wanted to read with his teeth. He then looked around for a good place to sit, soon deciding that he'd sit on a bench that was nearby. At that moment the "someone else" who was in the video store was on his way out. This "someone else" was carrying lots of packages. Although if you took a closer look you could see doughnut boxes, plastic containers that held cookies and cupcakes, boxes that had cake in them, and bags stuffed with candy. Was this trick-or-treating gone wild? Nope, it was Nutty.

Nutty had game to the video store only to buy candy that the store offered and was laughing uncontrollably as usual. Nutty was, without a doubt, one of the craziest Tree Friends. He always loved and craved sugar and would do anything to do it, even steal from a baby (no joke). He was hyper and jittery and he even had a "lazy" eye though he was… unique and never was TRULY mean. Ironically, Handy was in a rush and didn't see Nutty or his many boxes of goodies. Handy bumped into Nutty who spun around on one foot and cried out and then lost his balance and fell over and his packages fell to the ground though miraculously, were not harmed. Handy noticed this and turned around and frowned a bit when he saw it was Nutty. Nutty was cuckoo and Handy was not fond of him, he even caused trouble sometimes and lacked good morals and good heart. He was about to ignore him and go on but then it hit him. Nutty had been knocked over just like how he had been knocked down by Cuddles and Giggles earlier, without apology at that. Nutty got to his knees and gasped at the sight of the packages of goodies on the floor. He started panting hard and hurriedly checked the packages carefully. It was like his life depended on it. Handy felt sad for him that he was so obsessed with sugar he had likely lost all his sanity. He took a deep breath and walked over.

Handy lent a nub to Nutty when he approached and Nutty, for once, paid attention and saw it. Handy offered a warm smile and Nutty responded with a confused look. But Nutty did need help getting back his beloved sugary foods and Handy seemed nice enough so… he smiled and grabbed it and Handy pulled Nutty to his feet. Nutty laughed though likely just because of his sugar rush and got to work making his stack of packages again. Handy tried his best though it wasn't easy trying to grasp objects with his nubs. Handy sighed sadly, once again his nubs were a nuisance. Was he really this useless? Lumpy though came by and offered some help. Handy and Nutty accepted his help happily. Soon the tall stack of packages was done and Nutty and Handy did hi-fives… amputee style in Handy's case. Lumpy smiled and went back to his counter. Nutty hugged Handy though mostly because he felt he would've lost everything had Handy not helped. Handy just smiled and headed towards the bench.

But then he felt tapping on his shoulder and so Handy turned around to see who it was. It was Nutty surprisingly and his hands were behind his back. Handy just blinked and raised an eyebrow of confusion. Nutty then happily showed him a cupcake, a chocolate cupcake with white frosting and sprinkles. Unfortunately he showed it a bit too close to Handy's face and the cupcake ended up on Handy's face, sticking to him due to the frosting. Nutty gasped and quickly took back the cupcake but there was a fair amount of frosting and sprinkles on Handy's face. Handy licked it all off with his tongue as the frosting and sprinkles were around his mouth and it made Nutty laugh. Handy thought about today so far, he had been pushed down, but he had also found his DVD, and saw new things he had never seen before in Nutty in Lumpy, something there that wasn't there before. Lumpy had shown to Handy a surprisingly smart and selfless side when Lumpy had once killed Toothy just to make some money off body parts (which Giggles and Cuddles, who had indirectly inspired this, disproved when they found out). But most shocking of all, right now, Nutty showed signs of loyalty, friendship, caring, and… slight sanity. Handy felt like he made a new friend. From starting out the worst day ever, it now felt like the best day ever in Handy's life. Well maybe second to discovering and falling in love with Petunia but it was definitely one of his best days. Too bad he didn't know Death was in the video store.

While Handy was making a new friend in Nutty, Fliqpy was on the prowl. Bloodlust not nearly full yet, he was ready to slaughter some more. Disco Bear, trying to get over his epic fail at wooing Giggles, was playing a dance video game that was on display. He may have been a bit… too much at times but he did know how to dance and was sticking to the rhythm. He was grooving and moving… but would it become his dance of death? Fliqpy thought so and noticed there was an actual disco ball right above Disco Bear. Fliqpy smiled and grabbing a video game case, as this in the video game section, he pulled out the disk and hurled it at the string that was holding the ball in the air. Normally it probably wouldn't do much but Fliqpy had a way of throwing things and making them as sharp as knives. The disk cut the string like scissors cutting a thread and the ball plummeted down. Disco Bear had just finished a song with a dramatic pose and the machine said,

"PERFECT SCORE!" Disco Bear replied with,

"Oh yeahhhhh." His favorite saying nowadays. But before he could get off the dance machine, the disco ball was getting closer and closer and closer…. CRASH! The disco ball crushed Disco Bear and blood flew onto the dance video game's screen and the dance "floor" was ruined. Disco Bear had been crushed flat as a pancake and was instantly killed. Karma for flirting with Giggles despite her objection had taken his life. Fliqpy smiled to himself, this was going so well and it was actually a lot easier than he thought it'd be. So who did that leave… the pink chipmunk, the amputee loser, sugar-crazed squirrel, and the dumb moose. Child's play, he thought as he looked for his next unsuspecting victim.

Giggles was looking in the romance section for a nice, fresh movie to see though was waiting for Cuddles to be done so she could start suggesting movies and ideas. She had been waiting a while but was staying positive. She was unaware her boyfriend had been brutally killed by a certain homicidal maniac named Fliqpy. She then felt a tap on her shoulder and turned eager to see who she thought was her boyfriend's sweet endearing face. But all she got was a stare that a hungry werewolf or a villain from a horror movie would give you. Fliqpy was right in front of her. Giggles gasped and tried to find a way to get out of this but no luck. Fliqpy's roulette had chosen her and he was ready to kill her. In his hands was a tape recorder, very old-fashioned probably found in the storage of the building or maybe somewhere else. Giggles was slightly confused but didn't dare show it. Fliqpy pulled out the tape part from the recorder and wrapped it around Giggles, like he was measuring her waist section if she were a bride getting ready for a wedding. Giggles instantly began to panic and started to scream. Fliqpy then started pulling EXTREMELY tightly, like a corset pulling but only worse. Fliqpy's way of pulling was making the tape as tight as a crab pincher. The pain was terrible and Giggles started to choke and cough. Fliqpy then gave one extra hard tug and it was so tight that Giggle's organs spilled out of her mouth, forced out of her mouth by the sheer tightness around her waist which made pressure overflow in her stomach. Giggles died instantly from such a painful act and fell to the ground. Karma for also knocking down Handy without an apology had claimed her.

Fliqpy was laughing, now only Handy, Nutty, and Lumpy were left on his hit list. He had planned out their deaths in a surprisingly artistic vision. He's twist Lumpy's head around and break his neck and twist and break his fingers and put him on the counter as though he were still alive and doing business. He'd cut off Handy's head and fill it with candy to make a twisted candy box. Then finally, he'd hang Nutty and slice open his stomach and hang him over the entrance to the building, a definite sign Fliqpy had been unleashed. Knowing Handy, Nutty, and Lumpy would never escape him or even fight back, Handy couldn't even if he wanted to, he walked slowly looking for them.

To be continued…

Will Fliqpy's bizarre sense of art come to pass? Will Handy and Nutty's new friendship survive the experience? Can Lumpy figure out a way to stop Fliqpy? Find out next part XD!
