      - April 25th, ----

   It was a regular day on Planet Z. Every letter was laughing and playing. They were having fun with each other. Some were standing in different orders, trying to spell different words... and others were just playing games with each other. Talking and Laughter echoed throughout the land. However, that day would soon change. 

   Two letters were approaching a group of six letters, silently chuckling to each other. These two letters were l and o. l was bored that day, and o had brought up a fun idea for something the two can do. s, d, i, e, f, n, and r were nearby, dancing and spelling the word 'friends'. o thought it'd be funny if he launched l at one of them, to mess the word up. l agreed, although he wasn't quite sure which letter should get removed from the word. Fortunately for him, o already had a plan. 

     "I'll just aim you at them, and whichever one doesn't run away, we'll get them!" 

     l liked the plan, a bit too young to really see the harshness of doing such an act. Once the two were stationed in front of the six letters, l went inside o's mouth, turning himself into a projectile. o aimed his friend at the group, and one by one, the letters ran away. Two, however, who were too distracted to notice, did not. n and f. o released his grip, and l was sent rocketing right into n, sending the orange letter to the ground. l was quick to get himself back onto his feet. He could hear a gasp a few feet away from f, but he hadn't really paid attention to it. l chuckled slightly to himself, before turning around and walking away. "Loser..." 

    L walked away, laughing alongside O over what they thought was the funniest prank ever. However, a certain letter didn't agree. F was pretty pissed after what had happened, and he immediately took his revenge. F quickly ran around, grabbing T, A, and R. He placed all three next to him, sliding behind L. They formed together into the word 'fart', which caused L to unleash a very large, and very smelly, fart. This caused all the other letters to stop what they were doing, look at the situation, and start laughing. 

    L was humiliated. Very humiliated. Everyone was laughing at him, and he had just unleashed a fart so powerful, it killed one of the letters that smelled it. That humiliation soon turned to anger. L had pretty bad anger issues, and it caused him to lash out. He ran forward, headbutting f. o helped his friend out, and as f stumbled backwards, o ran over the letter. This caused f to cry out two gems, a green period and a blue colon.. l, however, wasn't calm yet, and he shoved f into r. ...r happened to be next to i, k, and c. This formed the word 'frick'. 


    Unfortunately for l, and fortunately for f, the rest of the letters had been paying attention ever since f spelt 'fart'. It didn't help that the fight between f and l wasn't exactly quiet. Immediately, the rest of the letters started to surround l, who immediately backed away. Truth be told, l wasn't really aware of the word he had spelt, he was just trying to get his anger out. l stared upwards towards a very angry looking m, who was his only other friend besides o, and he immediately felt sweat to run down his face. He made a nervous chuckle, walking backwards. "H-Hey, calm down, I-" l was quick interrupted by a punch to the face. "What's WRONG with you?!" m practically screamed at his ex-friend. "You can't spell stuff like that!"  "I-I wasn't trying too!" l felt tears well up in his eyes. The rest of the letters were starting to surround him, leaving l with nowhere to go. The crowd got closer and closer, until punches and kicks were thrown. l started getting beat up by the more physically strong letters, screaming, crying, and begging through the process. He was bitten, punched, scratched, kicked.. it lasted for around 5 minutes, bit it was painful nonetheless. During the process, L cried out a red comma, a purple asterisk, and an orange semicolon.


      Once the letters had started getting off of him, l managed to get a glance behind the crowd. o was running away, rolling away as fast as possible. o wasn't even injured, nor did l ever see o try to help him. o just left him to take the blame. The jerk! L's eyes went back towards m and f, who were standing in front of him. Everyone else was staring down at l, their eyes weighing down on l's soul. l gulped, and f stepped forward. "You need to get out. Now. We don't want you here anymore." l felt a tear run down his face, before a black gem clanked onto the ground. l glared up at the crowd, before running away. He happened to grab the green gem off of the ground as he left, practically stumbling away. Fortunately, there was a cave nearby, that l was able to run into for shelter.


l was never seen again after that. At least, not for many, many years...
