Don't Touch that Remote! Part 8: Final
By Jake Aguirre
If one person was at the scene of what happened this is what they saw. The Tree Friends were still walking across the street, the sunset now in sight, illuminating the street in a vivid palette. The discs appeared out of nowhere though the cause was not magic at all. The discs arrived and hit 3 targets, sharpened by Lumpy's frenzy with the jukebox. The first disc impaled Sniffles in the heart and caught him totally off-guard. It was like an arrow hitting its target like how he had once done at a carnival. The disc hit with so much force, Sniffles instantly began to hemorrhage where he had been hit. But still, a strike to the heart is fatal and unlike an experience Giggles had where her heart was separated but still beating, Sniffles heart was cut in half due to the imbedded disc and therefore nullified all ties to the internal organs. Sniffles groaned in pain but then fell on his knees and hit the ground with a sickening THUD! Karma was picky today, and so it claimed Sniffles as his car had hurt Flippy even though he really did nothing at all.
Being at the back, Nutty was the first to nice and gasped. He sometimes did show concern for his friends and now of all times having made a true friend, he was more selfless than ever. Petunia turned around in confusion in time to see who the second disc hit. The second disc had been deceptively the sharpest disc of all, compared to the first disc. The first disc had only imbedded itself, the second disc cut right through; So Petunia saw Flippy's top half fly into the air, Flippy's face with a surprised expression, and the bottom half tip over and fall. You could see the organs inside either halves as well as the bones, muscles, and blood. The second disc cut right through Flippy's waist, separating the halves of his body. Of course this one was quite obvious. Karma had gotten to him for all the murders he committed despite it all being Fliqpy's work. But Fliqpy and Flippy were one and the same and so karma did its magic.
Regardless of all the times Flippy was a killer, he was still one of the most pure-hearted Tree Friends to Petunia. Never bullying or picking on others, defending others, being kind and appreciative and so that was what triggered her scream of horror. As Flippy's halves fell to the ground, decorating the street with blood, the final disc made its mark. Of the 3 left it was Handy, Petunia, and Nutty. Either one's death would cause heartbreak and despair to the other 2. If Nutty died, Handy would've lost someone who didn't mock him for his arms, someone who was a loyal friend. If Petunia died, Handy would've lost his girlfriend and if Handy died, Nutty would've lost his new best friend. Unfortunately, it was Handy who was the next target. The disc hit Handy in the helmet and miraculously bounced off as it was the weakest of the discs. But it was VERY out of the blue and all the stress that Handy had faced and the ordeal with Fliqpy had worn him out. A sudden attack from a disc could've given anyone who had faced that ordeal a heart attack. Handy fell straight to the ground as though he did die and lied there still as a button. From an angle it was very possible he had died from shock.
Nutty wailed in horror and sadness, naively believing Handy had died. Of course even if he wasn't naïve, it still very much looked like Handy had died. His eyes were closed and his mouth open. Nutty raced over to his body and grabbed him and shook him. He wanted Handy to have some of the goodies that he had bought, he wanted to hang out with Handy who had been so valiant and brave, he wanted to see the movie Handy had bought. Handy still didn't wake up despite Nutty's vigorous shaking. Petunia gave a sad look at Nutty's desperate attempt and Nutty resorted to slapping his friend awake so she quickly told him to stop. Nutty began to cry, his tears falling down his green face. This was so unfair, that after all this, only a short distance from an amazing party, his best friend, and one he had made just today and wanted to join the party, was gone. Petunia always looked on the bright side of things, except when it game to dirt and grime, and came up with an idea. She suggested mouth to mouth recitation, something that usually worked. Nutty, like a typical boy his age, stuck out his tongue in disgust at the overrated idea. Petunia kneeled beside Handy, took a deep breath, and then stopped.
Handy's eyes flickered open as though he had just been sleeping and he raised an eyebrow at Petunia who was right over him. Not that he didn't like her presence but he was confused as to what she was doing. The disc had only dazed Handy and caused him to faint but he finally mustered up the stamina to awaken. Petunia blushed embarrassed and quickly made aside for Nutty who ran over and hugged his best friend happily, tears of happiness now streaming down his face. Handy just smiled and put his nubs to match the hug. The two friends had defeated karma, they had defeated the odds, they had survived FLIQPY who usually never failed at a kill, expect for Lumpy. Now a fabulous award awaited them in Petunia's video store to celebrate their accomplishments and new friendships. The History of Flying was awaiting them.
By now it was nighttime and lights flashed from the store and sound came out too due to broken windows. Sitting in 3 comfortable chairs, a safe distance away from the T.V were Nutty to the left, Handy in the middle, and Petunia to the right. They were surrounded by boxes of Nutty's hard-bought goodies. There were cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, cream pie, ice cream cake, and enough goodies to fill a candy store with. There were also cans of soda that Petunia had provided from the back of her store. With the T.V's volume set to a proper and normal level, the Tree Friends were enjoying the History of Flying movie that Handy had suffered and pushed through to get. Nutty held out a cupcake for Handy to bite, not too close this time and Handy bit into it with delight and even licked his lips and laughed along with Nutty. Petunia held out a cookie but in a different fashion that definitely separated friendship to romance. She held the cookie firmly in her mouth and Handy bit off half of it and ate it and Petunia did the same with her half. Nutty teased them again laughing and Handy and Petunia both blushed but smiled at one another. Nutty then put his arm around Handy like a true buddy and they watched the film together.
It was truly a surprise that the candy-loving squirrel and the amputee beaver had become fast friends. But a pleasant surprise in that, and they would likely be friends for even longer. But if one noticed the current scene that was playing on the History of Flying, one would notice the sound sounded familiar. The scene was talking about war planes and fighter jets with sounds of bombs bursting and gunfire echoing. If one listens closely, it sounds EXACTLY like the same movie that earlier that day, Flippy had watched and caused him to flip out. This revealed that the movie that caused a karma spree and a Fliqpy massacre was indeed, THE HISTORY OF FLYING. But Handy, Nutty, and Petunia would never know and in their case, it was still a wonderful movie and if you really thought about it, it helped give birth to a powerful friendship.
"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."
