Later on, you're at home. You've got the biggest smile on your face. Why? Because you and Flippy are finally an official couple. You got your wish. You have him as your boyfriend. You couldn't be happier to be with the guy of your dreams. It didn't matter to you with his evil PTSD side. You loved the guy. You're writing in your diary right now.

"Dear Diary, 

I can't believe it. I'm officially Flippy's girlfriend. Yay. I'm so happy right now I could die. Not literally. Figure of speech. The cutest guy and he's now my boyfriend. I'm so happy. Flippy of all people. My crush. Love of my life. 

No matter what his situation. I'm just happy to be with him. He deserves someone and so do I. I've been through something, myself. Not as severe as him, but still. I'm not one to judge, no matter how scared I get."

You close your diary and you tuck it under your pillow. You sigh and you smile. You lay down. You say, "I'm happy to have Flippy with me." You lay back on your bed. You suddenly hear your phone ring and you sit up. You look on your nightstand and you grab your phone. You see that it's Flippy calling you. You grin and you answer.

You say, "Hey, Flippy." From the other line he says, "Hey, Flaky. How are you?" "Oh, you know... Bored out of my mind, but making it through. Trying not to die." "Ha ha. Yeah, me too. That's all of us. Lumpy seems to be the one to die the least." "I've noticed that before, too. How are things for you today?" "Good so far. I'm just a lucky guy. I've got a pretty girl like you as my girlfriend." "Awe.~" "I guess I can say you are... porcuFINE." 

You giggle and you say, "Awe. That's sweet of you. Nice little pun, too." "It took me a few hours to come up with that. But you are more beautiful than you think. Inside and outside. I care about you so much, Flaky. I always have. Even my... other side refuses to kill you, recently." "Yeah. I'm aware. Flippy. I love you, no matter what. Just know that. I'll help you any way I can." "I need you in my life." "You've got me, now." "And I'm happy to have you, Flaky." You smile.

You and Flippy keep talking for about an hour and then you hang up. You lay back on your bed and you sigh and smile. You say, "That was a clever pun from him. I am a porcupine. He's so sweet." You turn to your side and you sigh. You say, "I think I'll order a carry out from a Chinese restaurant, tomorrow. Invite my friends over. Flippy especially." You end up crashing out.

********************************************************

The next day, you've got everyone over. You did what you said you would. Get Chinese food. You're all eating. One thing is, you had to be careful with any seafood around Sniffles because he's allergic to crustaceans. Then again, you yourself have a peanut allergy and so does Flippy. Something else you both have in common. 

You're sitting on the couch with Flippy, Giggles and Cuddles. Lumpy is by the punch bowl and has an egg roll in one hand. He takes a bite out of it and he smiles and says, "Mm hm." Giggles says, "Wow, Flaky. Thanks for having all of us over. You made the right choice ordering out. Yum." She eats her fried rice and says, "Mm mm." 

Cuddles says, "How come it is you can't have any peanuts or anything in your food, Flaky?" You say, "I'm allergic." Flippy says, "So am I." Sniffles is over on the chair and says, "It's okay. I can't eat crustaceans, myself. I almost died from that. Funny thing is it's not nearly as bad as those awful ants. But I'm an anteater and ants taste so good to me." 

Russell says, "Ah lads. Lassies. I grew up on seafood. I was raised on the seas, my friends. My old man was the captain of our ship. Rest his soul." You say, "When did he die?" Russell says, "I be just a mere age of twelve, lass." Lammy is in there and she sighs and smiles at Russell dreamily. Nutty giggles and whispers, "H-hey. Hey guys. I think Lammy may have a thing for Russell there." Petunia says, "I see that." 

Lifty and Shifty are in the hallway. They see pictures of you from when you were a baby to an adult. Shifty says, "I'm not gonna lie, brother. Flaky does look pretty good in this picture." He points to a recent one of you. Lifty says, "She may actually be even cuter than Petunia, Giggles and Lammy. Hell. You think we could steal HER instead of her stuff?" 

Shifty says, "Forget it, man. Flippy would literally murder us for touching his girl." Lifty says, "Yeah. But only when he's flipped." Shifty says, "Dude. That's still his girl. Don't risk it with Flippy of all people, man. He's a war veteran with PTSD." Lifty says, "Shit. You're right. Let's get some food. I need some beef and broccoli." Shifty says, "Have some crab rangoon saved for me." They walk out of the hallway.

Giggles says, "So, you and Flippy are officially a thing, huh Flaky?" You smile and you say, "Yes. I couldn't be happier, Giggles." You and Flippy look at each other and he smiles at you saying, "Most beautiful thing in the world." Everyone says, "Awe." You smile. The get together goes well and no deaths so far.

******************************************************

Later on at night, you're in your room. It's 11:22pm at the moment and as usual, you're writing in your diary. You're writing about how your day went. You're sitting in your usual spot as you do. Your bed. You start.

"Dear Diary, 

Today, my get together with friends at my house went well. No decapitations so far, so that's cool. The only thing that nearly happened was when Nutty went nuts over the junk food I had on the table and nearly choked on a sucker. Petunia had to give him CPR. That's what happens when you get carried away like he does.

But just the fact that Flippy and I are finally a couple makes me the happiest porcupine ever to live. Well, in some cases since most of us die and respawn after. I wonder what my mom and dad would think once they find out that Flippy is my boyfriend and he has that flipped deadly side. Oh well. I'll convince them I'm alright and that I love him."

You put the diary away and you reach over to your radio. You play it and it plays Losing My Religion by R.E.M. You say, "My mom used to play this all the time when I was a little girl. She and my dad loved this song." You lay back, listening to your radio.
