The Better Raccoon

Finding Flaky

"Eheeheeheehee, Lifty you better run!" Shifty laughed as he lifted the painting off the wall of the museum. Lifty was on the other side of the wall taking a fancy vase and the security guard, Lumpy, saw them. "Get back here!" Lumpy shouted angrily, shaking his fist. Lifty grabbed the vase and darted off with his twin brother. Lumpy tripped, allowing the green raccoons to get away safety. They burst out of the building before Lifty suddenly stopped.

"Hey, who's she?" He asked looking over at a certain red porcupine. She lifted her head up worriedly. Shifty laughed and put the painting behind a bush. "That's Flaky, stupid! Everyone knows her. She's scared of everything." Flaky seemed to hear this and looked down sadly. Shifty suddenly walked up to her and lifted her chin up. "She's a pretty one isn't she?"

Flaky just stood there nervously, as Lifty also came up beside her. "Yes. I wonder which of use she'd prefer. Obviously me." Shifty sneered. "In your dreams." Flaky was just looking at the twins in total shock and fear. "Uh-Uhm..." She whispered quietly and the raccoons looked at her. "Let her decide!" Shifty said and Flaky gulped. "I-I don't know yet..." she said quietly. "Oooh! Let's help her decide! Flaky meet us here same time tomorrow! I'll have a gift for you!" Lifty explained.

"Me too! And it'll be better than his!" Shifty laughed as he turned around and walked away. Lifty stayed behind and smiled at Flaky. "Really." He assured her. "We don't bite." Flaky just nodded as Lifty left, thinking about what to give Flaky.
