(authors note: i did the editing in the first couple of chapters ages ago which is why ive now fixed the issues that were adressed back in that authors note the character Oceana's owner and i are still separated which is why Typhoon is now the oficial love interest)

"Welcome to your tape Flame Burn. Let's take a step back in time shall we? Year 7, Junior high. I was dating Viper at the time. You always were the jealous type and when the dating started you began to make a joke out of Viper and I's rocky relationship. Looking back on it I realize that you were never the kindest human being ever and probably the worst first friend I could've made. Skip forward a year as I struggled with family issues which caused you and Viper to become the best things in my life until Sunny's annual Pool/ Slumber party and yet again upon my asking my parents for permission to go they blatantly refused my rite to a fun night. 

You, Viper and I had planned a celebratory drink if my parents had said yes. Upon finding out that I couldn't you stole a bottle of brandy from your dad's stock compared to the bottle of Pepsi that I had planned to bring, this was a massive step. The pair of you became drunk quickly and though one of Sunny's rules was NO SEX there ended up being you two sharing a bed and blatantly fucking quite lucky that the rooms where soundproofed and had a 'do not disturb' sign upon the door. The pair of you woke up the next morning with massive hangovers but NO this would NOT stop you from enjoying the parties final hours with a second fucking. The next day at school Viper dumped me at first sight and disappeared. Making my way to our bay I passed by one of the disabled toilets our school has and noticed that your bag was outside it. I also noticed that underneath it was Viper's handbag and putting my ear to the door there was the faint sound of flesh against flesh combined with the even fainter sound of moans. It was at that second I realized that you had betrayed me. The bag you had that day was conveniently the Limited edition 1 in 500 Star Wars bag you'd had since year 1 so you know what I did to it? Are you sure you want to know what that box of ashes that turned up on your table the next day had been the day before? I set fire to your 1 in 500 bag and returned its ashes to you in a box covered by the word traitor." 

Typhoon could hear Sobs escaping Moonclaws' throat as he spoke but it wasn't long before he began to laugh with a malicious air. Realizing that the bag Moonclaws had mentioned was one from one of his favourite movie sagas ever made him seem more insane with the reverence he spoke of the burning of it. The insanity became ever more obvious when Typhoom remembered that they had spent a week watching the star wars saga together before Moonclaws had died. 

"Watching you panic and accuse people of stealing it was one of the most hilarious moments in my life. I brought a box full of ashes to school the next day with a simple message scrawled on top of it 'Sup Traitor :p have fun explaining this to your parents' as I left your bay you were making your way over I fought the urge to punch your ugly face as I walked past and made my way to Tsunami's bay to explain what had happened. Sunny and her friends accepted that I was just not in the mood to hang around you guys which led to me explaining at Sunny's demand. Watching Tsunami nonchalantly stroll up to you and slam her fist into your face, even though she copped a suspension for it, the fact that she did it for me made me want to cry because she was one of the first true friends I'd ever had. As time went on and I began these recordings I realized that maybe I was the true poison in my life. At this point I realized that everything was eventually going to become too much so I made plans to end it all.'   

Here Moonclaws' voice began to break and Typhoon began to take out the headphones but Moonclaws' voice burst into speech once more sounding more broken then ever "We're f-f-fine n-n-nothings wr-wr-wrong. W-w-we're not having a mental breakdown. E-e-everything's g-g-gonna be o-ok." hearing him this upset Typhoon could not stop the tears that began to flow down her face. Then another harsher, crueller voice broke into the recording "WHAT IS THIS RACKET COMING FROM UP HERE! GET OUT! NOW! DOWNSTAIRS! INTO THE BASEMENT! UP AGAINST THE WALL!" after the shouts fell silent Typhoon's ears picked up the sound of sobbing coming from the room next to where the recording was taking place before the tape suddenly ended.

Breaking down Typhoon didn't even notice when her door burst open and her family came piling into the room. It was after midnight by the time her tears dried and she finally fell asleep encased in her loving family.  The night was not easy though for the shouts that Moonclaws had accidentally recorded began to filter into her already vivid dreams and their was several times throughout the night where Typhoon woke with a start, drenched in cold sweat. It was only after her third nightmare that Typhoon began to seethe with rage at those who had wronged the one she had loved. AND IT WAS FLAME'S TURN TO PAY!

*The Next Day*

"FLAME BURN!" striding up to the afore mentioned boy in the hallway Typhoon prepared to punch the traitorous BITCH'S SMUG FACE. As Flame turned and Typhoon's fist made contact with his nose. Which emitted a satisfying crunch as it broke under the force Typhoon exerted in her strike. Watching Flame drop to the floor out cold Typhoon's wrath began to dissipate. Feeling a hand make contact with her shoulder Typhoon spun ready to punch the culprit. However coming face-to-face with Tsunami she lowered her fist " I thought you were Viper..." Tsunami let out a snort at this remark.  "In all seriousness I need you to explain your reason for punching this bitch before I tell Miss scarlet that he ran head on into a pole." This remark showed just how much her  sister cared about her but Typhoon couldn't  help but snort at the look on her sister's face.

"I found out last night that This Mother FUCKER betrayed Moonclaws' trust before he died" as Tsunami nodded Typhoon smirked knowing that this was exactly what had happened with Tsunami when she had heard of Flame's betrayal.  " Now help me shift his corpse behind that pole so that it's more believable." It was only then that Typhoon began to realise just how similar she was to her sister. 

Walking back over to her bag Typhoon noticed a new tape sticking out of her bag. The timing was perfect  she had History with Professor Webs next and there was literally nobody who actually listened in his class. Turning back  to her sister Typhoon hugged Tsunami before turning around, pulling out the Walkman loading up the tape and hitting play calming even as Moonclaws' slightly calmer voice began to filter through her mind.

"Most people are soft around their rejections especially when a younger sibling is standing behind them supportively with fingers crossed for good luck but no your too cool for little old me aren't you. Welcome to your tape Riptide Pacific"
