The Banana Splits: Splited Nostalgia.

Things get brigther.

What could he do? he was just trying to help somebody and everything is going wrong...

That movie...if that movie didn't existed this wouldn't happen. if the movie didn't existed, everything would be normal ! is that movie's fault. everybody hates them just because of a cash grab. nobody wanted to remember the old splits....nobody wanted to give them a chance...it was the only thing the beagle could think about.

Even fleegle forgot who he was for a few seconds...the penny dropped. he was shocked, but didn't wanted to lose his mind in front of a crying child.

"This is ridiculous..." the dog tought to himself "Those thoughts are making me go bananas, just like those robots.." "i can't let those thoughts get the better of me.." fleegle snapped out of his thoughts and got an idea to try and gain some trust...at least..just a little smile.

Beside the bike. there was a backpack, probably the kid's backpack. a little music box had fallen out of it and it read "Made in switzerland". he knew exactly what to do.

He cleared his throat and fixed with bow-tie. ready to try and...to hope that at least this works.

-Say eh...what's the best thing about switzerland?

This got the kids attention who had stopped crying and listened. he moved his shoulder as a way to say "Don't know"

-I don't know, but the flag is a big plus!  The beagle laughed like he always does.

The kid looked at the music box and started to giggle. it was a bad joke, but sure the stranger's laugh was contagious. he suddenly forgot about the pain on his ears, nose and sore body and started to laugh louder.

They both started to laugh kinda loud of how silly this was. fleegle was proud of this. but then he noticed the kid's face....it looked...familiar in some...odd way..

-Wait.... Fleegle stopped laughing and started at the pup's face examining the eyes, snout, ears, and even his big brown nose.

The kid's smile erased from it's face. he didn't knew what was going on...but fleegle's face looked...familiar too? what?

-Hey! i know you! your my friend's kid! boy..they sure grow up fast these days...

-And you are the dog from that tv show!...that tv show my mom watched when she was younger...your err....ehm..a...banana?...

-A banana split! Fleegle chuckled, it looked like somebody wasn't afraid anymore. "I'm fleegle! Fleegle the beagle!" The dog presented himself with a lot of energy and enthusiasm while taking off his hat and bowing in front of his gained friend. he never felt this happy since he meet Susie at the amusement park.

-Eh what's your name lil' fella? Fleggle lifted the kid in his arms and spun around once as he did with one little girl when they were singing "Tra la la" way back when. he felt the happiness in his heart, could this be it? could this be a brighter day for the banana splits?

-I'm Constanza....but people call me "Patches"...until today.. The smaller dog spoke with a bit of sadness while looking at his destroyed patches who were stained with blood and dirt laying on the ground.

-Aw...don't worry about that! The beagle left the kid on a bench and pulled up the bike and and left it resting on a side of the bench. he then placed the music box back into the backpack side pocket. "I can call your mother from our clubhouse! and we can take care of those patches on your ear" he said with excitement. "Eh...of course..only if you want to...i'm pretty sure your mother told you to never never go off with a stranger.." The beagle forgot about the whole "Stranger Danger" thing..after all..they just met...they kid could think he was lying in order to gain their trust.

-I can go...my mother told me about you guys! she said you live near this park..she even called me before hand and told me..'if you need help, go to the clubhouse next to the road. they are old friends of mine' the kid imitated his mom with a silly accent.

-Well then...it's settled! Fleegle handed the kid his backpack and took the bike. "Ow you are gonna love being with us Patches! We'll sing, play, tell jokes and meet the bunch! you are gonna love them i'm sure of it!

The kid got his backpack and started walking along with Fleegle. he was excited and a bit nervous. this is the first time he meets his mom's friends. he didn't knew what to expect.

-And your friends are still on the clubhouse? He wondered with curiosity. "I didn't knew you guys were still together.. i thought you splitted up" The kid didn't knew he just made a pun, but Fleegle started laughing and reasured him.

-Oh no...we will always be bananas! He cheered "I know i always say i was gonna split from this bunch..but i never mean it" "Those guys are family..and soon you will be too."

the kid smiled as they walked back to the clubhouse.
