Don't Touch that Remote! Part 7
By Jake Aguirre
Around the time that Fliqpy had walked into Petunia's store and gotten blasted by concert-level sounds up close, Lumpy was busy in his video store. Missing one eye or not, he still had a store to manage. He had decided to sweep up the remains of Giggles and threw them in the trash can (though it probably wouldn't be the best idea if there weren't witnesses to have seen what happened). He had lifted the disco ball and saw Disco Bear's crushed remains, flat as a pancake. He threw those in the trash too and then he grabbed Cuddles body and threw it in the trash can too. Dusting his hands he hoped that Handy and Nutty were safe. Just then he heard a sound from afar that sounded like a sonic vibration. He didn't even need to be smart to know that Handy likely had something to do with it.
Lumpy then investigated parts of the store and had already made calls to get a new T.V, dance machine game, and new doors, though he mistakenly called 411 again out of stupidity. Lumpy then decided to check his jukebox in case anything had happened to it while he had been busy dealing with the annoying Fliqpy. He pushed a button to select a disc but nothing happened much to his dismay. He gasped and pushed the button 3 more times but with no luck. He then tried kicking the stubborn jukebox but it only wound up hurting his foot. He then hit the machine savagely in fury and annoyance. But then that's when he noticed it had not been plugged in yet. Lumpy face-palmed which probably was one of the only times he realized his stupidity.
Lumpy then plugged in the plug to the jukebox and then looked through the machine's slot to see if it was working. Tragically, having seen the power of Fliqpy's discs up close, he should've learned. Messing around with a jukebox while it's off makes it remember all the actions done to it when it was turned on. But Lumpy had pushed the button 4 times and had attacked the jukebox like it was an enemy which was a fairly foolish choice. It was the same thing as if a computer was slow at starting up and you turned on a window multiple times in impatience. So when it did turn on, the jukebox sent a disc flying at potent speed out of the slot. But Lumpy's one eye and empty eye were peering through so the disc impaled Lumpy in the eyes and impeded deeply, even more deeper than Fliqpy's knife. In fact it went right through his brain and was stuck there inside Lumpy's head. Blood poured out of Lumpy's eyes where the disk had sliced and Lumpy fell backward, killed by the razor-sharp discs. Even though it was for a good cause, he had tried to keep Fliqpy trapped in the store. Karma was a cruel thing and it had gotten to Lumpy despite his selfless act. After all, karma was basically a boomerang, whatever you did to someone, something just as bad or as good would come to you sooner or later.
But the raging jukebox had been greatly disturbed and the button had been pushed 4 times. 4-1=3. 3 discs soon were sent flying out of the jukebox and at such a rate they flew in mid-air and it was as though they were given new life. They flew out of the blasted open doors of the store and started heading towards… where Flippy, Petunia, Sniffles, Nutty, and Handy were. It was now the time where Sniffles had just agreed to join the party. The grey skies were clearing up now and it was sunset, the beautiful oranges and pink streaking across the sky. Handy, a still deaf Flippy, Nutty, Petunia, and Sniffles were crossing the street. Petunia was leading the way, then Flippy, then Petunia, then Sniffles, then Nutty at the end of the odd parade. But they had no idea that 3, spinning, razor-shop discs were flying at them like projectiles.
Fate can be a funny thing. Whether it was tripping over a rock or even thinking the elevator is there and walking off the edge and falling to the bottom of the elevator shaft when the elevator is there. Whether it was being at the stove and catching on fire or when quills pop a raft to safety leading to a swim for your life, Happy Tree Friends always faced the WORST of fate. So it wasn't ironic for them to be at the wrong spot at the wrong time as the discs had approached. There was the sound of a slice, a clang, and something falling to the floor. Then 3 bodies fell to the floor and then a scream of pure horror.
