Mixels: A Mixful Journey Series 2

Mixsqueak

Fruitpunch rips off his tuxedo, eating it as he and Rayzo sit on a log by their vacation home after their dinner out. "Hey, FRUITPUNCH!!!," Rayzo says, laser blasting the hill of ant Nixamals Fruitpunch got distracted by. Fruitpunch looks at Rayzo, "What!?" Rayzo blows on his blaster, "What's yer storyzzz?? I've told you MY deal zzzt!!" Fruitpunch sighs, "Well, I hads a gang you sees..."

A young and... incomprehensibly even smaller Fruitpunch buzzes around on his two big ol bug wings. He walks away from the sandy winds of Brawllar Canyon and right into the bustling restaurant known as mixes, looking to meet with some other Mixels. A tiny Cragster hops towards Fruitpunch as he buzzes onto a bar stool, ordering fruit punch. Fruitpunch doesn't flinch as the silent Cragster's full body digs up, picking up it's head and placing it atop the neck area.

"I know your tricks bud, heheh," Fruitpunch jokes towards the stony golem. It remains silent, as it usually is. The bar door slams open, a bulky Muncho coming in. The rather bustling and chatty restaurant falls silent. The rather famous Muncho sits next to Fruitpunch on the opposite end as the Cragster, "I'll have. Usual," says the Muncho, lifeless eyes overlooking a shaking Flexer cat cashier. The Muncho receives his usual, a small coconapple fruit salad.

As the Cragster observes the Muncho's catapult in his head, it drinks half a coconapple shell worth of a protein coffee shake. Fruitpunch smiles, glad to have these fellas as his friends. "So guys, what's going on with you's? I noticed you've been kinda... distant, big purple! And gold muscle... it'd be great to talk, y'know?"

The Cragster remains silent, but the Muncho talks, "I dunno... always wanted a... pet? Something to take care of? Everything is scared of me though." Fruitpunch gets it, letting out a tear of sympathy. He uses his one arm to pat the Muncho comfortingly, "Well, no matter what, we can still all be buds at least!"

At that moment, a smiling young Newzer bursts into the restaurant, "EXTRA EXTRA!! MIX ALL ABOUT IT!!!," she shouts, waving around newspapers and bringing even the uppity Medival dancer's attention, many Mixel Land inhabitants intrigued by the presence of a Mixtopian, "LARGE MUNCHO AND CRAGSTER!! SEEN BULLYING DEFENSELESS BRAWLLAR!!"

Fruitpunch's two friends hunch down, the entire restaurant looking at them. Fruitpunch stands on the table as the Newzer leaves, the newspapers now in the Newz rack for sale, "Hey!! These ain't thems y'all! I've been besties with them for years nows!! You guys tell em!" The entire restaurant doesn't acknowledge the small fly, another bug-like treadmill Brawllar shouting, "Hey MIXSQUEAK! Get offa the table!!"

Reality blurs as the Muncho whacks Fruitpunch off the table, making sure not to harm him. Knowing the customers are all looking to pick a fight, the two Mixels mix, becoming a stony moyai-like status to defend themselves while making sure not to attack. This also attracts a swarm of fight clouds, making the fight barely visible.

When the dust settles, a sad little fly and an anxious orange cat overlook the mess of Mixels strewn everywhere... the former noting an absence of his friends. He looks everywhere, but never a trace to be found again. "So..." says a crying Fruitpunch, finally giving up the search, continuing to aimlessly roam Mixel Land, "They... abandoned me? Hm. Guess I've gots to... never trust what I don'ts know how to talks with..."

"...And then... well I becames an N-Mixel at some'sa point," Fruitpunch says to an increasingly sad looking Rayzo, "I uh... then I founds Lumpy, who I's was abit... overly outgoing with. Naturally. But eh, it's not impor-" Rayzo finally opens his glass eyelids, letting out all the tears he had stored up. Fruitpunch tries to hold back, but also cries, something he hasn't done in several years. "Fruitpunch," Rayzo finally says, "Everythingzzz important about a Mixel. We'zzz unique like that zzt! And... well I thinkzzz I need to apologize to my own crew maybe. Zzzztill unsure though."

The End
