Sketches of Reality ch 2

Chapter 2: Love dazed
The pencil followed the movements of Flaky's hand. She bit her lip, wanting the result of the picture to come up great. Going over it one more time, Flaky seemed pretty satisfied. The drawing was of her, walking hand-in-hand with Flippy, hearts fluttering all around the pair. All of her friends were grouped around them, smiling. She flipped the page. The next sketch was of everyone in a group photo, nobody dying (except for Lumpy, who was caught on fire in the background). Starting fresh on another crisp paper, she thought for a moment. The directions suggested worst fears or nightmares... right? A sharp pain entered Flaky's chest, as she drew a picture of Giggles and Flippy, happily in love, while she and Cuddles are left alone, depressed. "Fears... my scariest fears..." She thought, moving on to the next picture. This one was terrible... it was of Evil hanging Flaky upside-down, while a mob of angry chicks tore her apart limb from limb. But it's just a simple drawing that can't do any harm, right? That's what Flaky thought... She decided not to draw on the last page (a lot of pages were already torn out), so she could save if for something special.

Daylight crept through her shades. She sat up and yawned. Then, a knocking sound came from the front of the house. She shuddered, letting all of the horrible outcomes of letting the stranger in flood her mind. Crawling on the stained rug all the way into the kitchen, she pulled out the first thing she touched in her drawer. A spoon? She shrugged. "It's good enough for me..."

Flaky cautiously looked through the peep hole in her door. It was... him. From what she could see, Flippy wasn't carrying any weapons or knives... She opened up for him, but still kept the silverware behind her back, just in case he tried to pull something. But, he didn't. "Hey, sweetie." He said in a soft tone. "Did he just call me 'sweetie'?" She wondered. "Hi..." "I brought you some coffee," He handed her a plastic cup. "Gee, thanks Flippy." She told him, even though she had never had a cup of coffee in her life. "May I come inside?" Flippy asked. Flaky stepped to the side. "Go right ahead." "Thank-you." He pecked her on the lips. Her pupils thinned. She opened her mouth to say "What was that for?", but didn't because she was too embarrassed for words.

She silently sipped the warm coffee, feeling it tingle in her throat. Flippy sat across from Flaky, looking at her lovingly. She felt her heart skip a beat. "He seems so... mindless." She thought. "Why is he acting like this? It's not a bad thing, but... it's pretty uncomfortable for me." "You look beautiful today." He complimented. Beautiful? She had just gotten up. Her quills were all mangled up. And he thought she looked BEAUTIFUL? "Uh... you too?" Flaky stammered. Taking her last sip of coffee, she felt incredibly jittery. "Hey, doyouwannagethighwithme? WecanhavesexunderanumbrellaHA! Doesn'tthatsoundlikefun?" She paused to point out the window. "Heylookatalloftheprettycolors! Thatsquirrelisanorangebittingamonkey!" Flippy laughed in response. "Next time, remind me to get you decaf."

After Flaky had returned to normal, she and Flippy went out to the park together. They ran into Nutty, who was hysterically laughing, like usual. "Ha ha hi Flaky! You ha want a piece of candy ha ha?" He asked, holding out a Tootsie Roll in him palm. Flippy shot Nutty a look that made it seem like her wanted to slice him up, then stuff his remains into a pinata, but he did nothing. "Um... no thanks. I'm saving up my appetite for lunch." She responded. "Ha ha suit yourself." He popped the candy into his mouth and chewed, going away. Flaky could hear a low growling sound coming fro Flippy, but again, he didn't speak.

They waited in line to buy food from the hot dog stand. Toothy stood behind them, and started to giggle. "Flaky's got a boyfriend!" He sang. Flaky hung her head, blushing. Flippy noticed this, then turned to Toothy with glowing yellow eyes. He grabbed Toothy's arm and twisted it backwards. "Eeek!" Toothy yelped out of pain. "Apologize, NOW." Flippy hissed. "For what? What did I do???" "I said, NOW!" He bent it even further. "Alright! I'm sorry for teasing you, Flaky!" Toothy squawked. Flippy let go, then Toothy scurried off to safety. "Wow..." Flaky thought.

Flippy, Flaky, Giggles and Cuddles sat on a long wooden bench, eating their hot dogs. "It's about time that you two got together." Cuddles said. "We always knew that you guys would make a perfect couple," Giggles added. "Yup, we are perfect for each other, aren't we?" Flippy scooted closer to Flaky, putting his arm around her. "Yes... yes we are." Flaky told him.
