A voice came from his head and he looked around quickly to find the source, while at the same time, wondering if he'd just heard what he thought he just heard. It was a small and quant bathroom, no windows, the shower curtain was open so no one could possibly be in there with him. Filip turned back to face the mirror once he'd looked all around the cramped space, but he didn't see his reflection. His face turned shocked, but the figure in the mirror didn't mimic his movements like a good little reflection. The person in the mirror looked just like him in every way except for the face... The eyes were a dull yellow with a very small pupil in the middle as it narrowed to stare back at him, there was a dark expression on it's face with a menacing sharp-toothed grin, it terrified him.

There's no one else here but you and me.

"Wh-who are you?!" Filip asked in confusion and panic.

You can call me Fliqpy.

"FILIP! THE COOKIES ARE DONE, COME HAVE SOME WHEN YOU'RE READY!" Franky yelled.

I see you've found a woman to be with, it'd be a shame if something were to happen to her... Fliqpy taunted.

"Don't you dare touch her!" The reflection laughs.

I would never harm a woman, if her face is worth saving, that is, haha! Flippy just glared at his reflection.

"I'm not gonna let you near her!"

I'm afraid that's easier said than done, unless you want to move out of town, I'm a part of your mind that can't go away, you just never know when I'll pop up and what I'll do! You can't do anything to prevent my arrival. So as long as you're near her, so am I! The reflection laughs hysterically and Flippy punches the mirror, shattering it. He panics when he realizes what he's just done to Franky's mirror. "I doubt I'm going to be welcomed back any time soon..."

Filip tries his best to clean everything up as best he can, though he cut himself many times in the process, he just takes out his black gloves after washing his hands thoroughly. He tries to look nonchalant as he walks out and back down the hall toward the kitchen where he sees Franky waiting with the tray of freshly baked cookies and two glasses of milk. One for her, one for Filip. He blushed at this but tried to hide it by pulling his cap downwards, causing his bangs to cover part of his love-struck eyes.

"Hey, you know it's not polite to keep a girl waiting." Franky told him while looking away. Filip grew more red as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck and looked away also.

"E-eh y-yeah...u-u-uh sorry..." Franky turned back around to face him to reveal that she was chuckling to herself.

"Oh sorry, it's just...you were looking so down and serious I felt the need to lighten the mood a bit!...Well...don't be a stranger! Sit down and enjoy some sweets!" Filip looked up and nodded fast and excitedly as he was quick to obey these orders.

"Now dig in!" Franky told him. Filip gave her a look that said; 'my god I've missed you!' causing Franky to blush, randomly a few flakes fell out of her hair, it seemed like her hair corresponded with her emotions. Filip took this as a good sign as he took a bite of his first cookie.

"I haven't had sweets like this since I was in grade school! All we ate at the base was canned food. Beans and artificial meat and some vegetables." Franky looked away to hide her blush as her face became as red as her hair.

Meanwhile...

"Damn him! Having such a good time and taking it easy almost in the flip of a switch!" A voice said, coming from a hidden branch on a tree right by the window that it was looking through with binoculars.

"Well it seems that he's let his guard down, isn't that good enough for us?" Another voice said, coming from right next to the other voice source in the tree.

"Yeah, I suppose but what I saw back in the rain forest was a TRUE soldier! He looked to be a really tough foe! I mean, he managed to kill the general! Well I just happen to be one of his top men, and I personally would like to have a challenge!" The first voice said.

"You know...those are often the things that a fighter would say right before they lose. Don't get too cocky. We should just watch him for a while, see if does any of his own training when he gets home. Study his moves and see what sets him off." The second voice said. Just then, the two heard the sounds of chuckling coming from below them. It was two teenage boys, same green hair color and dressed very similarly, the spies in the trees think the boys to be twins. One wore a beige fedora, a dark green silk vest and a white undershirt with black pants and shoes. The other one wore a light and dark green striped scarf, a plain old green long sleeve button-up along with very dark green suspenders, a lime green belt and the same black pants and shoes as his brother. Though they both were wearing dark green bandit bandanas and had rings and necklaces that were either consistent of gold, ruby, diamond, silver, and sapphire. They both had binoculars and were peering in on the same window but at a clearer angle and position, however, the place they were was an area in which all Franky and Filip would have to do is turn around and they'd be spotted as plain as daylight.

"I see Filip's back from the war." The boy in the fedora pointed out.

"Maybe we shouldn't tangle with a trained killing machine built for combat to survive on the battlefield." The boy wearing the scarf replied.

"Look Lifty, all we gotta do is wait for the right moment to strike. Besides, we always wait for them to fall asleep, Filip's always been a pretty heavy sleeper but we should be careful when nearing Flaky's room."

"I know that. That's an obvious, but something about Filip nowadays just doesn't feel right, Shifty." Lifty alerted his brother, nervously but was obviously trying to hide it as best he could. Shifty sighed.

"How 'bout we just wait for Filip to high-tail it back to his OWN house? I'll rob Flaky, and you can get Sneezy."

"You mean Sniffles, we both agreed that was his new name." The brother's smirked and chuckled in perfect sync.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Anyway, when we're done, we'll meet back at the house and sort our loot!" Lifty nodded in excitement of this plan. Shifty gave a cocky grin that his brother mimicked and the two ran off into the night.
