Splendid smiled, watching Flippy as he slept cutely. He reached up every so often to adjust the teen's beret so it didn't slip off and possibly wake him up. He was very sensitive to touch after all. It awed even Splendid that he could get away with constantly fixing his hat without him waking up and breaking his wrist or something like he did that one time. The bluenette vaguely wondered if that Kindergartener ever did get over being traumatized... Shaking his head he sighed, swallowing the butterflies venturing throughout his body. His try-outs were today. In his back pocket was his lucky mask. And his other good lick charm was sitting right next to him--sleeping peacefully. He had heard from Petunia though that she and Giggles were coming to watch his try outs to since Lumpy would be there...the disgusting little--Easy there Splendid, calm yourself...He thought taking a deep breath. ~ Flaky smiled when she saw Lammy and how happy she was. No one was bothering her or giving her odd stares and Lifty and Shifty were (as usual) holding hands, sitting next to Toothy and minding their own business. Good riddance....Flaky thought irritably before taking a careful seat next to Mime and smiling at Lammy. Surprisingly, even after her freak-out she looked better than ever. She was practically glowing. Not to mention she had cleaned herself up nicely to. Flaky waved, happy to see te lavender haired female was doing well. "Hey Lammy, you alright?"

((Next Day)) "...Yes mom I ate breakfast. Yes I did my homework," Flaky sighed as she fixed a few clips and bobby pins in her messy red hair, pinning down the rebellious clusters on her bangs and all. Her mom was calling her from Bermuda (they were there until the Wednesday of next week) and she was anxious to check up on her precious baby girl. Her mom had been reluctant about leaving Flaky alone over the summer to go on a cruise with her husband, though she was convince to leave in the end. That didn't stop the worrisome woman from being paranoid and calling every morning and evening to check on her darling girl. "Good, good. Are you still practicing your--" Flaky quickly cut her mom off. "I am, I am. I told you not to bring it up..." She murmured in a hushed down, her gaze cast downward as she leaned against the kitchen sink in embarrassment. As she did so a familiar screeching of the brakes for the bus turning the corner. A panicked look flitted across her amber eyes as she hurriedly talked a garbled bunch of words into the phone, grabbing a piece of toast and slinging her relatively light bookmark over her shoulder. "A-Ah mom I gotta' go, the bus is here, callyouwhenIgethome!" Flaky managed to rush out before hanging up on her frantic mother and rushing out the door just in time for the bus' doors to creak open is the vehicle halted to a stop right in front of her driveway.

Splendid nodded, rushing up in front of Flippy to hold the door open like the true gentleman he was, doing a mock salute to the teen. It wasn't so much mocking as it was meaningful in actuality. Flippy's dad had been a soldier in the war and he and Flippy used to do that to each other when they disconnected from webcam (and Splendid managed to catch a sneak peek of their conversations). That was before his dad was killed in battle. Now, the bluenette did that salute to Flippy in memory and respect of his father. The younger teen had really looked up to him sometimes. "You first, sir!" He stated, standing at te door as if he were at a guarding post, still smiling like an idiot and making a sweeping motion towards the door with his arm. ~ It was when Flaky was sitting in History, going over the Cherokee tribes that Lammy finally came back to class. Everyone by now had heard about what had happened 1st Period in Gym, even the teachers. Whispers broke out like wild fire throughout the class, the students doing most of the talking including Lifty and Shifty. Their grins were still stretched across their faces, not quite reaching their ears. Flaky's mind flashed back to Lifty's slightly traumatizing gaze in Math and Russell's grim smirk and she had to wonder what had he done to the twins. And had it already rubbed off on them to where they didn't care anymore? The teacher cleared her throat, trying to hush the awkward situation unfolding. "Lammy, nice of you to join us. Please take your seat next to Flaky."

Since Final Hearts 69 isn't replying to my critique and because you are very convincing, the part is now yours. Disregard FH69's post in the RP and feel free to start.

((Wait, wait...I think I didn't explain what was to happen properly. That isn't the base of Anniken's operations or anything. He doesn't even have a group of people. He's more so just a loner with Sylvia (a little ball of light) there to guide him and keep him company. And you're not supposed to skip ahead to the next day or anything either. What's going on Underground is a battle between Anniken and Dylan and Anniken is losing. It's just a one-on-one battle. And please, I was told you used proper grammar and spelling and punctuation so please use it and capitalize your 'I's. I'm sorry if this sounded harsh, I'm just in a horrid mood as I type this from something other than this and I was really hoping this would be started off already with all of us posting.))

((Aw~! That's so cute )) Splendid's sapphire blue eyes widened momentarily from under his wet bangs as soon as Flippy said that, feeling his heart flutter. The Flippy he knew would never say something like that, not as outright or blatantly like he just did. Turning back around to face Flippy though, an inevitable smile curled onto his lips. The teen had his beret tipped and covering his eyes and partially his face which Splendid knew he only did when he was embarrassed. Whether Flippy knew it or not, the bluenette could still see the red staining his cheeks. He found it positively precious. Not wanting to embarrass him even more though, Splendid moved Flippy's hand, tilting his hat up to it's normal position to meet the teen's emerald eyes. Splendid tilted his head, wearing that signature lopsided grin that made all the girls swoon and shoved his hands in his pockets as he took a few steps back. "Why be embarrassed about thinking of a close friend in place of another? I'm kinda' flattered. Don't worry," Splendid winked at him. "It can be our little secret. I don't plan on telling anybody that." Well maybe Cuddles to see if it would piss him off...

Splendid blushed slightly, rubbing his next as his cheeks tinted with a different color other than his natural flesh tone. How to explain this one... "I...I saw you with Cuddles and you were both having a good time with him so I kind of thought you'd be...right if I just went to Gym." Splendid admitted, not entirely lying but not entirely telling the truth either. He left out his jealousy of course. Flippy would probably think him to be a horrible person to act so coldly like that...But God that pout was so cute!

((Heeeere comes Jealous!Splendid)) Splendid suddenly decided he didn't like Lumpy very much. Actually, he despised him. No, no, he contemned him now to absolutely no end. He sincerely hoped he didn't make it on the basketball team now. He didn't think he'd bs able to handle looking at him without wanting to puke his mind out. How dare he try to make a move on Flippy! His Flippy nonetheless! That boy must have gotten hit on the head one to many times while having sex with his numerous "play mates" because that idea in itself was absolute madness. To try and pin Flippy and talk about his body as if it was a prize or something to be one, as of Flippy was an interment or tool used for pleasure (of course he was drawing assumptions by this point), was idiocy on behalf of the person trying something. Looking away awkwardly, Splendid narrowed his navy blue eyes. It was taking all his effort to not get up, find Lumpy and strangle him. The fact that he laid hands on Flippy made him taste bile in the back of his throat. "Oh. At least you put him in his place then...the creep..."

((Is it sad that I thought Splendid would be getting to actually change into Flippy's shirt and expose himself momentary and I got excited because of that )) Splendid blinked appreciatively at Flippy before feeling a sigh escape his lips, unable to stop it. How could Flippy piss off Giggles even more on the first day of school without letting what had happened cool over. It wasn't the fact that ge was worried about himself and his own well being. He was worried about Flippy getting in too much trouble. Big whoop if Giggles took it out on Splendid but Splendid wouldn't have Flippy getting stressed because of her inconsiderate behavior. But it was the comment about Lumpy that really caught his interest. Splendid didn't usually have anything against Lumpy. He was an idiot sometimes and a bit of a player but he was fairly decent at basketball, worthy competition for Sendid actually. But he didn't understand why Flippy would feel the need to punch him due to that... "The hell did Lumpy do?"

"Hey. And, yeah, I do. Being wet isn't exactly my first thing on my list of comforts." Splendid joked, shrugging softly. He ignored how his stomach belly flopped when Flippy examined his bangs (they were just bangs for Christ's sake) and instead took the seat motioned for him. Everything was fine and dandy before he remembered exactly why he hadn't waited for Flippy in the first place. Cuddles that's why. Cuddles and how cursor Flippy smiled at him, how naturally the two of them interacted. It made Splendid internally scowl (which was quite amusing being he didn't even recognized how out of proportion his paranoia was blowing this out to be). But he realized with a glance over at Flippy that te teen had that look on his face. Not his look of laziness, no that look made his eyes darken brilliantly from the usual shade of emerald. And it wasn't his look of irritation, his eyebrows weren't quite pointed downward to make that adorable crease in his forehead to go along with his to die for pout. Splendid was completely oblivious as to how stalkerish that may have made him sound. "You okay?" The bluenette asked, trying heard not to force his cheerful tone in his face (Cuddles was still invading his mind like a plague of unwanted fire) as he leaned forward to get a better look at Flippy. "You look like something's on your mind..."

I hate it when you're listening to a song you love dearly but it makes you cry everytime it plays and the lyrics hit you.

((I know. He has a deep way of looking at things to. It makes me more depressed to think that he'll...y'know...be lonely when he..-sniffs sadly-)) Splendid was out of the cafeteria before he even shut his phone, earning some strange looks as he sprint through the halls of Happy Tree High. He ignored the scolding of teachers telling him to slow down and not run in the halls, an actual breeze of cool air hitting his forehead full force. He had places to be now, rules and regulations just didn't apply to him at the moment. Flippy was waiting. He made it out to the track field outside without even realizing it was raining until his foot slid out from underneath him in a squeaky wet patch and he land in one of those massive puddles of water that looked as if they could have their own name for being some kind of mini-pond or something. Luckily, it wasn't muddy and only his head and someof his shirt were soaked to the core. He was fairly damp though. When he got up to brush himself off and keep going he was compelled by the small flash of navy green he saw behind the bleachers to ignore his wet appearance and go onward to his awaiting best friend. Besides, what hurt could a little water do? Splendid would do anything to meet Flippy. ((Iwouldcatchagrenadeforyou~)) He'd run across a thousand suns, through a million rainstorms and do it all over again to see that smiling face looking back at him. Finally, panting slightly, the bluenette came up to Flippy, hands on his knees as he looked up a him through his quite literally drenched blue bangs, a sweet grin on his face as he gave a quick salute to the fellow teen. "H-Hiya Flippy~!"

((Just like Splendid. Am I right? I'm firetrucking right.)) Splendid looked at his phone as Flippy replied and smiled slightly. Such a simple reply but with meaning to it only Splendid would understand--or at least he thought. Sometimes when he looked into what his dear friend responded back with he thought that maybe he was being a bit...stupid. After all, Flippy wasn't one to put secret emotions into texts of all things, especially not towards Splendid. But it helped the bluenette to think so. To think every small word that showed up on his cell-phone screen had meaning. He sighed, hitting his head on the ledge where he stood over looking the cafeteria. God he felt like such a sap. Without looking up he held the phone in front of his face, texting a reply to Flippy back rapidly. He blamed Giggles and Petunia for this newfound skill of texting without looking. Where are you right now? Maybe we can hang out now. I figure you're probably skipping right about now, yeah? Don't ask Splendid how he may have known that. He himself figured it was just a skill gained by being best friends with Flippy. Kind of like having a long time girlfriend. You always knew when she was on her period and so Splendid always knew when Flippy was skipping class. As he awaited a response he scanned the crowd to see Russell laughing with Sniffles and a shaky Flaky. They were the only ones who ever mingled past their mini, stereo typical cliches that Giggles herself had randomly set up. Splendid gave a barely audible laugh. If he wasn't friends with Flippy and wasn't so athletic he'd be down their too--actually learning a lesson or so about friendship and sticking together. He'd have more people to call true friends than just one... ((Poor Splendid being thoughtful~))

Splendid was sitting in his free period before Lunch, lounging in the mainstream area for socializing in the Lunch room when his phone vibrated. The Lunch was separated into more, intricate sections than on the bus where the only 3 layers were Cool, Average, and Losers. In between these layers there were groups and locations where everyone was set to reside. In the Loser level there were your basic Nerds, Comic Book Geeks, and then your prep/jock wannabes who ended ruining everyones day with their attempts at moving up several layers. These kids usually were in the front of the lunchroom, not even located at tables save for the Nerds who had one table to spread their books out on the surface. Average kids were separated into Skaters, Creative kids, Trouble-Makers, and the very few Goths and Emos that barely existed in Happy Tree High. They remained on the side and throughout the central tables, a little bit on the steps leading up to the domain they weren't allowed to ever trespass. The Cool kids level where Splendid currently was, flipping his phone open. This area was the second level of the lunchroom with a main entrance leading out to the main hallway but specifically designed so that no one could come in. An easier way for the Cool kids up their to moditor who came into their section. Splendid reached his inbox, seeing that it was a message from Flippy asking him where he was. Looking out the enlarged bay windows to the left of the cafeteria, Splendid debated on answering. Which was shocking being he ways responded to Flippy's texts. After a moment of waiting he sighed, flipping the phone to it's keyboard section. I'm at the Lunch Room, figured I'd wait here in free period until Lunch for my next period.

((I officially love Flippy. BRB while I eat dinner ^^)) Giggles blinked, feeling a bit of her pride get shattered at that. But then, well then it reignited with anger. How dare Flippy say such inconsiderate, cruel, and untrue things about her. She readied her thumbs to give him an earful (eyeful really) of complaining to him that she knew would at least the scrape the surface of his thick head but wasn't given the chance as the bell rung. The shrill sound abruptly shook her from her anger and as everyone gathered their stuff and filed out of the classroom she shot Flippy a glare and gathered her things, stalking out of the room. ~ Splendid panted, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he exited the Locker Room of the Gym and Went along with the flow of the crowd. He wasn't intent on finding Flippy at the moment, which was odd. He was still a but sting from what he ha seen between the green haired teen and Cuddles. He hoped to God he was only imagining the sparkle in Flippy's eyes, that his smile really hadn't been as wide as he had thought. ~ Flaky prayed as the bell rang, glad to finally be leaving. This somewhat enjoyable class had now turned Ito what was most likely going to be the era of her end. She couldn't act, she couldn't be fluent in movements across the stage like Juliet was supposed to portrayed as. She couldn't do this. As the red head's stomach growled, Flaky was glad that she had Lunch next for 4th period and not another class. She hoped though that there was someone she knew in her Level she could sit with so she didn't look like a loner. Even though she really was.

I don't know what you're talking about Flippy. The only thing I recall is her dragging me over to a sleepover every other weekend back in Elemantary School when I was to nice to tell her to shove off. Giggles typed back hastily, momentarily ignoring the insult as the teacher made a round around the classroom and she lifted her pencil to make it seem as if she was brainstorming a rough-draft for her essay. She already hated this teacher. Any teacher that had to walk around class and inturrupt her texting scheme was on her knock off list. Shed probably be another on the list of getting a rather nasty rumor spread about her on the last day of school like she had done last year to her music teacher. The woman had quit soon after that incident. Quote "quit". ~ "Oh no but you are, what's your name--Limpy, wait Lumpy, my apologies dear--. As I was saying you are the epitome of Romeo and paired with our little Flaky you two shall be a marvelous main actor and actress role." The teacher glorified, attempting to paint a picture in the class' mind while her eyes glowed a bit brighter. Flaky wanted to vomit. No, no, absolutely not. Ever since she was a child Flaky couldn't handle being in front of crowds. For presentations for schools or the mandatory chorus concert they had to do up until the 5th grade, Flaky had always managed to mess it up some way, somehow. So being Juliet was simply asking for disaster to come and strike a hole through the school's stage. But being the typical shy girl, she was tk bashful to admit to that, let alone tur ing down the main role. So she instead ducked her head down to her knees, her long red hair tickling the exposed skin between her skirt and leggings.

Giggles rolled her eyes, giving a small string of curses under breath as she frowned. Flippy just didn't know when to stop being a jerk he? She knew how to be caring. Just not towards useless wastes of space like Flaky. Honestly that girl would be better off in an asylum or some shit where no one had to see her pathetic face ever again. They'd be doing everyone a favor if they disposed of her. I do now how to care! Just not for the likes of her. And why care after all these years of joining in on the torment? Don't tell me you're falling for that impracticable excuse for a girl! Giggles responded, a disgusted look crossing her features. ~ The teacher continued to waltz around the room as if she were performing, sending Nutty into a fit of giggles (Flaky figured because her jewelry sparkled like hard candy and that usually set him off). The teacher swooped down to Nutty's level, pressing a thin finger to his slightly stick lips. "This is no laughing matter young man. Roles are important and I already know who Romeo is going to be!" She resounded, her voice growing stronger with every syllable she spoke as she pointed her finger, landing on Toothy. He raised an eyebrow. "Me?" The teacher laughed nervously, shaking her head and moving her hand slightly to the left to--guess who, surprise surprise--Lumpy. "You. The fellow with the highly fashionable earrings." Flaky nearly let out an audible groan.

Giggles felt the vibration against her thigh from her phone and gave an irritated sigh, clicking her manicured nails impatiently as she pulled out her mobile device. She read the text from Flippy and scoffed, shaking her head. Of course she was "still going on about it". She was still pissed about it, having already been on the end of a few snickers behind some obvious hands and malicious glares. Yes, I am. You're ruining my reputation because of your stupid trick. Why would you even to something so...heroic for a Loser like that? ~ The Drama teacher gave a significant grin, turning around with a dramatic spin ending with a hand on her forehead in an mocking way of feeling faint, the other hand on her heart as she spoke her voice in a mere whisper. Flaky watched in wonder as Toothy did with a "WTF" look. Talk about your oddball child through adulthood... "We will be going over the roles for the tragic play of..." She clasped her hands together, falling to her knees and motioning to the air with both if her hands no separated as if in an offering. "Romeo and Juliet~" Juliet. Flaky paled. She already knew this wouldn't end well if they were discussing roles. She was the only girl in the class...
