Chapter 2: Confettis and an Arcane Cat
(Flaky's POV)
"GRRRRR..." I heard the bedroom door open. Peeking from under the sheets, I noticed Fliqpy's back, which was facing me. His trademark bowie knife was held in his left enclosed fist. "GRAH...HMM...SHE'S NOT HERE. WHERE ARE YOU FLAKY?" Right before he left the room, I jumped out of the sheets and leaped onto his back, my arms around his neck.
"FLIPPY! CALM DOWN! FLIPPY!" I screamed. The furious green bear swung his head wildly, causing me to lose my grasp. I smashed headfirst into the wall. Ow.
"THERE YOU ARE FLAKY..."
"EEEP!" I shrieked, removing my head from the crater. Luckily, my head wasn't stuck or else the situation would be bloody. I turned to my left to see Fliqpy creeping closer. Quickly, I ran to my right. The green and red plastic cups on the counter fell onto the floor, creating echoed sounds. Suddenly, my back began to heat up. I slowly turned around to see Fliqpy raising his left hand. In a second, I bolted from the spot and ran to the storage room and quickly locked the door. He can't break down doors, right? I scanned the room. Wow, there's pinatas all over the place. Maybe, I can use them to distract Fliqpy! Next thing I knew, I was picking up several colorful pinatas. Ok, this should be enough. I shook each one. Yes! Confetti! Suddenly, a sharp crack sound echoed the room. My heart raced. I forgot all about his bowie knife!
"GET...BACK...HERE...FLAKY!" Right when he called my name, the door bursts. Spear shaped wood flew all over the place, destroying many pinatas. Thank God none of them hit me. I turned around to pick up the pinatas I chose, but none were there.
"Huh?" I shook my back. Confetti flew everywhere, coating the place with all seven colors. Once the pinatas were emptied and Fliqpy became distracted, I pushed past him and ran back to my room. Of course, I got rid of the empty pinatas that were speared onto my back first. I gasped for air. Who knows how long I could keep this up. A green arm suddenly appeared and grabbed my right arm. "EEEK!" Fliqpy spun me around until I faced him. His smile widened, revealing more sharp fang like teeth. Clearly frightened, I kicked his knee. Fliqpy's eyes grew large and released me while he howled in pain. I scrambled back to my feet and ran to the front door. Hah...hah...almost...there...! I stretched out my arm to grab the door handle, but before I could, Fliqpy leaped in front of me and grabbed me by my hips. Then, he THREW me into the air. I closed my eyes, awaiting for the impact since the ceiling fan is right above me. But instead, I simply fell and landed onto his right shoulder. WHERE'S THE TORTURE? WHERE'S THE PAIN?
"Hmph." Silently, Fliqpy walked towards the kitchen while securing me on his shoulder using his right arm. I looked into his intimidating yellow eyes. Somehow, the usual hard glare casted by him had soften. Did Flippy find a way to tame his evil counterpart?
"So, Fliqpy, umm..." Well, this situation is awkward. "...what's up?" HONESTLY?! WHAT'S UP?! Fliqpy grunted in response. He opened the refrigerator door and quickly ate the swiss cheese. Then he turned around and ran to my bedroom, right after I closed the fridge's door. No one closes them anymore, huh? When we reached my bedroom, Fliqpy yawned, dropped me onto the right side of the pillow, and crawled onto the mattress while tugging the red fluffy sheets over him and the pillow. I sat there, completely stupefied. So far, I'm trapped in a corner with a green bear who might attack any moment. Perfect. I curled up like a cat and soon became drowsy. Ergh, finally. Some rest. By the time I started to drift off, another thunder roared, followed by flashing lightning. I grabbed the corner of my blanket and covered my head.
(Flippy's POV)
"Whee! C'mon Flaky! Try to catch me!" Flaky, who was far behind be, stopped at a cherry blossom tree and gasped for air.
"I'm...tired...can we...rest?" I halted to a stop and trotted over.
"Sure." Then, we plopped down under the tree. I looked up at the beautiful sunlight. The poofy white clouds floated ever so gently overcast.
"Flippy?"
"Hmm?"
"I-I just want to tell you..."
"Yeah?"
"I...I lo-"
*knock knock* The sound quickly snapped me from my dream. I yawned. What time is it? I glanced at the clock on the bedside table. Seven thirty nine p.m. Wait...how did I get here?! I looked behind me to find a red lump beside the pillow. Peering closer, I noticed a spiky shape. Flaky! Phew. At least she's ok. Who knew what damages my counterpart could've done. I shuddered at the thoughts. *knock kno...c...k* ...how odd, that last knock was barely audible.
"Coming," I called out. I slowly slipped off of the bed and tip toed to the door. Once my hand reached the handle, I carefully twisted and opened the door a few inches to reveal...nobody. "Hello?" No reply. Hmm. But, just when I was going to close the door shut, a groan was heard below. I looked down to see an injured white cat. And by cat, I don't mean ordinary cats that mew and claw and put up for adoptions as a pet, I mean a...somewhat person-animal like me, Flaky, and the others. Still...the injuries are quite severe. One arm was all bloodied and the back has a large gash. I quickly looked to my left and right. Not a single soul in sight. Normally, I would've flipped out by seeing all that blood, but after my last appointment, I had pretty much gotten used to it. I scooped up the cat and closed the door, quietly so that I won't wake up Flaky. After a few moments of searching for the sofa in the dark (yeah, it's winter this season), I carefully rested her (kinda guessed because of the dress) onto the soft cushions. Alright, now where can I find some bandage? Waking up Flaky is not an option; that would be rude, so...maybe the bathroom? I rushed- quietly- to the bathroom and flipped open the drawers. Towels, nope, toothpaste, nope, soap, nope, BINGO! BANDAGE! Then, I rushed back to the sofa to tend to the wounds. At least the moonlight is starting to pour in. Now I can see what places I need to bandage. Not only did it help show the injuries, it also helped me see what she looks like. White cat wearing a lavender dress with violet stripes (one on each sleeve, close to the wrist and three in the front and back A.N. (five in my anime version)), a golden, moderate sized bell on the center of the chest with some design behind it (evil butterfly wings?), and two bell bracelets (with a see-through violet bow for both on the back) on each ear. The bell bracelets both have a moderate sized bell in the middle and one small sized bell on both sides, followed by a tiny golden ball (still on each side), and the rest in between is lavender elastic that holds the bow. Actually, I've never seen her before. Who is she? After taking care of her wounds, I yawned. Meh, time to hit the hay. I slowly dragged myself to Flaky's room and crawled into the blankets. Looks like I'll find out tomorrow morning.
