"We're here." I came back to my senses when Sniffles spoke. I looked around to see pretty lights, the citizens all dressed up, light laughters and music everywhere. I never knew they could hold such an event in this town..
"Some party huh?" Sniffles commented with a small smile. "Would you believe that Lumpy was the one in charge of this event?" It was pretty hard to believe indeed. "And to think he never wanted to spend a single penny on town events.."
I smiled lightly as he went on. I had always wanted to go on such social events, to talk to people, and to have fun. These things hadn't crossed my mind because Evil would be there to tease, I go along acting like I didn't want any of those, that I prefer to be isolated. All locked up in an empty house living with a devil. It was for so long that I gave up and forgot the feeling of being sorrounded by people. Untortured and unkilled by my hands, happy amd laughing with me. Now that I can, it seems all so good to be true. Is it finally a new start?
I gazed down the side mirror. It's only been a day since the experiment has been made. Evil didn't appear ever since. He sometimes go silent for a day or two fooling me I can have a little peace, then he comes crashing at the bad time. '..I wonder, if this is one of those little tricks..?"
I felt a hand patted me on my shoulder, I turned to Sniffles who was looking at me softly. "..We're both two hopeless men here."
"W..what?"
He sighed, putting his hands on the stirring wheel, his shoulders loosened as his back slid down his seat. He stared intently at the people. "I never liked having to go at this social events." He admitted with a grunt. "I only get humiliated everytime." He turned to me. "This a test run, for you."
My eyes widened, my heart starting to beat fast. "A perfrect timing it is." His lips stretched into a smile. "I'll be close by, in case something happens."
"Just in case..." So that means there's still a possibility to..
"But it doesn't mean that you won't get to enjoy this chance." His voice softened.
I got out of the car. "..Sniffles?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks."
He blinked at me for a moment and grinned lightly. "Don't thank me yet." And He droved. I sighed. 'It's been a while.."
"...Flippy?" I turned to look at a girl with hair as white as snow, a purple beret on her hair, with a purple fluffy dress, she was so...cute. Her huge pupils looking so soft along her long eyelashes. She looked so surprised. Of course she's surprised, the killer is out of his nest. What else is new?
"L-lammy?" Darn, I'm starting to stutter. When she heard me spoke her name, her bare shoulders loosened and smiled softly. She walked up to me.
"I'm glad you could come." She seemed so happy.
I akwardly nodded. Damn it, my voice disappeared. Lammy had seen through it, and giggled. "It's been a while when you came out of your comfort zone eh?" She tilted her head.
"..For a change of pace.."
She took a hold of my hand, and embraced it. "Say, why not be my escort tonight?"
I blinked. "You would..?" She quickly nodded.
I hid a small smile which I can't help to crept up to my face. "It's an honor to be your escort then, Milady." I hadn't used any of these charming lines in...forever.
I just realized, they were only waiting for me to come out, and talk to them. I was already forgiven. A long time ago.
It's a start. Finally.
Tick, tock, tick tock..
A voice of a girl echoes through the woods, aimlessly walking under the dim moonlight. Mimicking the ticking of a clock, with every weary step she took.
"I'm a little teapot, short and stout.."
The little lady's face couldn't be seen as much, just a silhouette, little figure is all. Her untamed hair, cut in different lengths, some too short, some was on a slant, it awfully flying out everywhere. Though now it was covered by a hood, body was wrapped around a cloak, a wide grin sprouts up, shining along with moon.
"Here is my hand where the knife rests about.."
She began to dance.
"When I get all steamed out I just shout.."
"Looking for your heart and rip it out.."
She twirled, little steps became big steps. Mixing up the lyrics, she cheerfully sang her own version. She kept repeating the odious words, tip-toeing, twirling as she were walking in clouds, just as a little child happily walking home. No one knows if she was a citizen of the city or a visitor. Or is she would be a threat, nuisance, or maybe a savior...
But to save what?
She stopped halfway, leaping up to a tree as soon as she saw lights coming from down the main parts of the town. People, so many people. Different colors, and sizes..
The curious expressions of the child disappeared and turned into a devious smile. As she slid down the hill hiding into the shadows, and to the trees, she sang once again.
"I'm a special teapot and it's true"
"Here is my knife that I'll stab in your mouth."

The blue superhero landed down near the entrance of the main town where the party was being held, he was elegantly dressed up in his black tuxedo, blue polo shirt under it, and a silky white tie. And insead of his red mask on, he put on his blue, rectangular glasses on, he isn't going to be a hero for the night, everyone should enjoy the evening.
He walked right up and saw a very beautiful atmosphere, it was peaceful. No one was frowning, everyone was at its finest beauty. He smiled at the scene, Disco Bear was surprisinly decent, finally wearing somthing appropriate than his gooden elvis jumpsuit, though his hairstyle was something that couldn't be removed. He was in near the fountain, seeking attention. Everyone's getting along witih him though. Sudden loneliness striked Splendid, he laughed it off. 'Please, this is not the time for that.' He smiled an empty smile as he greeted a couple of ladies who winked at him, they seemed to be charmed.
He kept walking unil he saw a couple of young men, bickering around near the stage. He was easily noticed as he approached them.
"Oh hey look! It's Splendid!" Cuddles waved, Toothy and Handy turned around.
"Hey good looking, off duty?" Toothy said.
"I still actually am, just changed my outfit." He knudged him.
"Well that's too bad, the girls seem to look forward spending the night with you." Handy added, He too, was a a black suit and orange tie, though the sleeves were cut off for his shoulders to move freely. It gave him a nice look despite his disability.
"Well too bad..." He grinned.
"Oh hey look, Giggles and the others are-woah." Toothy gaped his mouth wide open, everyone did so when they followed where Toothy was looking at, a group of girls walked in the scene.
"Oh hi boys." Giggles greeted as her green orbs. All dressed up in a pink strapless cocktail dress, which sparkles as little beads attached to it hit the rays of the lights. She matched it with red heels and a frilly pink bow up in her fluffy short hair that is only up to her heck.
"Oh, you guys were already here?" Petunia asked, Handy has his mouth hanging as he saw her all dressed up in a see blue dress full of frills and a green pinecone tree necklace which she never takes it off. Her gorgeous hair was braided into one side which ends down below her chest, admittingly she was pretty lady like. She giggled when Handy only realozed he was staring too much was when Toothy pushed his chin up, he just blushed and looked away.
But what most caught their attention was the girl behind Petunia. "Flaky?" Splendod first reactiom. She slowly walked out from her hiding place,bit by bit, timidly as ever, yet her appearance really made an eyes looked as if it were going to spout tears, cheeks red as ever, and hands were holding tightly on the dress.
"Don't do that! You're gonna ruin it!" Giggles slapped her hands away.
"S-sorry.. i-it's just that.." Her dress was flaming red dress, ruffled at the ends with black three-fourth sleeves that shows her bar shoulders. Her dandruffed hair was surprisingly neat, groomed, and straightened, though the unevened cuts of some still flies out, and it was tied into a ponytail back. Some of her spiky bangs were still flying out, it didn't mattee much since it gave her a messy look-and a good one too.
"Wa-hoow Flaky! I almost didn't recognize you!" Handy complimented.
"Wow you two really did a good job in her hair too." Toothy commented as well and the girls giggled.
"It wasn't that much work really!" Petunia said.
Cuddles gave Flaky a warm smile as Flaky bashfully smiled in return, he was about to pat her hand when another pair of hand caught his hands that were reaching out. "Let's go?" Giggles, with am elatic smile, quickly blocked him.
He was a bit puzzled at first, then grinned. "..Ah sure. Alright guys, we're going. Have fun!" Flaky looked down as Giggles gave her a dim blank stare.
"Handy dear, your tie!" Petunia quickly pulled him close to fix the poorly tied necktie."O-oww, wait!" His cheeks went pink as she giggled.
"Get some room you two!" Toothy pushed them out of their circle.
"Alright, alright. We'll go." Handy sighed as he was getting dragged away but being pushed and pulled, it's like you're geting hit by waves and you can't get away from it since he doesn't have any hands. He's gonna fall spooner or later. "Well then, we'lll meet up once the show starts." And with that, they went off on their own.
"Well I need to go back." Toothy said as he brushed his dark purple hair.
"Why? Have you forgotten something?" Flaky asked, all tensed up. She was gonna alone with the hero, she somehow doesn't like the thought of it.
"Nah, I need to fix something backstage, for your performance as well."
"Performance?" Splendid and Flaky said at the same time,
"Didn't anyone tell you? You're gonna sing." Toothy blankly announced.
"N-no one told me!" In reflex, she began to have fast breaths, Splendid needed to hold her.
"Well there's still an hour or so, good luck." Toothy grinned and ran off.
"W-what am I going to do? I don't even know what song I should-"
"Calm down, Flaky, you to calm down first." He handed a glass of water.
Thankfully she slowly composed herself. "Good, now why not I escort you tonighr?"
"B-but..the song.."
"I'll gladly help you pick a song while escorting." He gently smiled.
"T-thank you then.." She took Splendid's hand and put her arms around his, they began to walk towards the stalls. But everyone seemed to gather around and started making a fuss.
"It's him."
"No way, he attended?'
"This is bad."
"She's even with that girl."
"W-who are thwy talking about?" Paranoid as ever, she shrunked cautiously.
"..Hmm.." Splendid looked around to see and caught a pair walking towards them. "It's them."
"Who?" As Flaky turned, she saw Flippy, her cheeks burned red. In a suit that really looks good on him, who wouldn't blush at the sighr? His hair was neatly brushed asie with little strands of those green silky hair fel and brush his forhead. Lingering her eyes on her arms, where she saw another pair of arms clinging to it, paler, and slimmer. A girl's arms. Another girl's arms. It was Lammy.
"Aren't they a rare pair to see." The hero said, yet didn't showed much expression of being surprised.
Everyone seemes dazzle, at the same time alarmed.
"E-everyone's staring.." Flippy whispered as his eyes never left the path they were walking on, composed as ever.
"It seems so." Lammy just gave a light giggle,
"They're probably saying it was a rare sight of me all dressed up and actually socializing..without killing..yet." He sarcastically replied.
"I don't believe you'll do that tonight."
Now it was flippy's turn to smile and chuckle. "What's makes you think that?"
"I honestly have no idea." She calmly said, "But there's nothing wrong for a pair of outcasts to be sane for a while no?"
Flippy flinched. At that time, he knew what she meant.
"Ahhhh..." Sniffles took off his glasses as he sighed, sliding on the inclined seat, hoping to have a little rest. Last time he checked Flippy he was with rhat girl. "If I''m not wrong she would be Lammy.." He said to himself,
'Flippy is probably having fun right now, seems he was finally given a chance.' Sniffles smiled at the thought. He stretched his arms out and went out of the car, took out a box of cigarettes, and smoked. He leaned on the trunk of his car.
He haven't smoked in a while. He kept this secretly, no one probably has seen him smoke before. Except for Lumpy, he was the one who taught him to smoke, he wasn't sure if he were to thank the guy. It's bad for the health too.
The thought of him wasting his suit crossed his mind. Why did he went through the trouble of wearing a suit amd he wasn't going to participate on the event? It was to make sure Flippy would go, he was strongly refusing when he told him, it seems everything went smoothly for now.
He sighed again as he blew away the smoke. "I wonder if I wrote the report correctly? ...Where did I put it exactly..."
"I'm a special teapot and it's true.."
Sniffles quickly turned and scanned the sorroundings, a voice singing echoed throught the parkling lot. But no one seeems to be in sight.
"Here are some things that I can do.."
In a flash, a striking ache hit Sniffles stomach, he looked down and saw blood. A knife, His eyes widened as he spout out blood. ''W-where'd this knife come from..?" He shook as he tried to take it out his body.
Before he realized it, a girl was stranding infront of him. His vision was beginning to blur, he couldn't picture the face of the little girl. Though it's eyes glimmer in a color he always trembled upon.
...Glimmering golden eyes.
"Hi uncle, are you so scared?" She spoked in a blunt voice, but enough to make him shiver, She took out the knife forcefully and once again sang.
"...Deforming bodies is what I do best." She slashed Sniffles' neck. His glasses and cigarette flew,
The twisted lullabye ended, she dragged the head as she proceeded to invade the party.
Heeeeey. It's been a year since I haven't updated. If you're wondering, I haven't abandoned this story yet. I'm just really a slow updater. And I'm deeply sorry for that.
So I hope this kinda makes up for it. No? I left cliffhanger there didn't I? So this is prpbably where everything turned upside down. So you better tune in! Cx
Again, I'm sorry, thanks for those people who kept who didn't abandon waiting for an update as well,..and reviewing.
Things turned a bit twisty. Reviews are always welcome. ;u;
