Woot! Two new stories in less than a week ;D I'm on a role! But anyways! I got the inspiration from seeing one of the Flippy x Flaky videos on YouTube and it had the song Criminal by Britney Spears, and well this girl thought it was a perfect song for them. This first part is based strongly on the video for the song just like most of the story will, but i hope ya'll enjoy :D

Summery: She held the unfamiliar object tight in her petite hands. A gun. "So, you're a Criminal?" She asked sweetly. He chuckled, "You could say that."

Rated T: For strong language, sexual themes, and violence. Rating WILL go up, but later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Happy Tree Friends, Mondo Media does. I don't own the song, Criminal, Britney Spears does.

Enjoy

Criminal: Chapter One- I met you.

"You listen to me and you listen good!" He sneered, his spit landing on her face as he grabbed her by the chin. "At this party, I don't want you to misbehave. Say anything I don't tell you to say, and let's just say, it's not gonna be good!"

She whimpered her tears streaming down her cheeks. She nodded weakly and sniffled, wiping the tears from her eyes. She watched him step out of the car and did the same. She teased her hair a bit and he grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her inside.

She sighed. How could she have fallen for such a-a jerk! No matter how attractive the red hair made him, he was one of the biggest assholes she has ever met. Rolling her eyes, she follows him to the table. At the table sat his friends; Cuddles, Giggles, Handy, and Petunia.

"Hey, Splendont," Giggles greeted. Her eyes drifted toward Flaky, his girlfriend of over two years now. "Hey Flaky," she said as if it hurt her to say her name. Flaky faked a smile and took her seat next to Splendont.

Flaky sighed knowing it was going to be a long night. With Splendont's yelling, and abuse, and Giggles' dirty glares. Her hand found it's way to her cheek and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep on her hand.

Splendont saw the sight and rolled his eyes. He excuse himself and after he had walked to the bathroom, Giggles did as well. He smirked when he heard her knock twice. Walking out of the bathroom, he grabbed her by the hair, pushed her against the wall, and pressed his lips onto hers.

His smirk widened as he thought about the way that he had manipulated Giggles. His plan was simple; girls want what other girls want. So, he had been using Flaky to get her jealous this whole time. His plan was fool-proof.

Flaky opened her eyes slowly, then blinked rapidly. She awoke to Cuddles messing with his tie, Petunia applying hand sanitizer, and Handy bopping his head to his iPod. She let out a long yawn and asked for Splendont.

"That way, he stole my date," Cuddles said calmly pointing toward the scene before them. Flaky growled, walking up to her soon-to-be ex and his whore.

"I see you're not working the street corners tonight, what happened, your pay's too low?" Flaky asserted, her arms crossed firmly over her chest. Giggles pointed a finger at her face and Splendont grabbed Flaky by the wrist once more. He pulled her outside and began to yell.

"What did I fucking tell you in the car Flakes t-"

"Splendont! You shouldn't be talking y-"

"Don't fucking interrupt me when I'm talking to you!" He yelled, raising his hand and slapping his hand hard across her face.

"Hey! Who the fuck do you think you are? You don't hit women like that!" Yelled a random tall, maybe six foot five, man. He had short, strait, green, hair, and forrest green eyes. He wore a black underarmer tee-shirt, camo pants, and combat boots, along with a stud piercing on his left ear.

The stranger punched Splendont in the arm, kneed him in the groin, and kicked him in the side. Flaky's ruby red eyes grew with excitement as she kicked him one hard time in the balls.

"Hey, thanks!" Flaky called after him as he mounted his motorcycle. The stranger smirked and nodded.

"No problem, um...?"

"Oh, Flaky!" She introduced, her smile widening and her cheeks beginning to blush.

"Ah. No Problem, Flaky." He said, his green eyes smiling at her. "You want a ride home? Seems like he isn't getting up for awhile." He said with a dark chuckle.

Flaky knew it was wrong. It was all wrong. Her getting beat. Her getting abused, raped. The way a random stranger stepped up for her when nobody else would. The way he offered her a ride.

Even though it was against her better judgement, she strode over to the motorbike and hopped onto the back.

"Hang on tight." He said, his words like a muse to her ears. She grasped onto him tightly, knowing there was no one else she'd rather trust.

~One week later~

"I don't know, Lammy," confided an honest Flaky as she shocked down more ice cream. "He never told me his name, but he knows mine."

"Ooohh, So it's that crazy kind of love huh?"

Flaky laughed and sat on her couch, kicking her feet onto the black coffee table and turning on the TV.

"I wouldn't say love, I've only seen him once. It's more like when you have a crush on someone you don't know but you see around school, you know?" Flaky reasoned as she shoveled another spoonful into her mouth.

She grabbed the remote, only seconds away from turning the channel, when all of a sudden his picture flashes up. The guy that had saved her. Flaky begins to choke on her ice cream, causing Lammy to worry.

"Flaky w-"

"PUT CHANNEL SEVEN! QUICK!" She screams as she turns up the volume of the plasma screen.

In other news today. A local department store in Happy Tree was robbed by an armed robber. Subject says to have described the robber as a tall man, almost six ten, with green hair, green eyes, and a stud on his left ear. Onto the screen flashed a drawing of the guy that had saved her a mere week ago.

"Flaky-"

"Sh!"

"Lammy! Did you see that?" Flaky asked, her eyes wide.

"Ya, mama, looks like you're in love with a criminal." Lammy said as she laughed.

"Looks like it..." Flaky whispered.
