Splendid was ironing out some clothes. Mostly capes, although there were a few work clothes sprinkled into the mix. He held out a cape, inspecting it to make sure he got it perfect, but as he heightened his focus, he heard the sound of some crashing and destruction. He looked back at the cape and nodded his head, quickly putting it on as he walked over to the door, blasting off towards the noise.
Lifty and Shifty were carrying bags of clothing out of a merchandise store. They had smashed the wall into the back and were now loading up their van with as many clothes as they could cram into it. Shifty grabbed his last bag and went into the driver’s seat as he waited for his brother. However Lifty seemed to struggle with the final bag. But before Lifty managed to get the bag of clothing into the van, Shifty suddenly floored it and started to drive away. Lifty quickly yelled out. “HEY! WAIT FOR ME!” The van continued off as he looked in annoyance, but then he felt a gust of wind across his back. He let out a loud gulp and slowly turned around. Splendid put his hands on his hips as he looked down at Lifty. He chuckled nervously. “Lovely weather today isn’t it…?” Lifty slowly let out. Splendid facepalmed and let out a sigh. “Give it back.” He held out his arm, motioning Lifty to hand something over. Lifty shrugged his arms, an audible thud went out as the bag he was holding hit the ground behind him. “Give what? I ain’t got nothin?” Splendid grabs a clump of fur on his collar as though it were the collar of his shirt, pulling it up in annoyance. “Listen buddy, this is the 2nd time this week I’ve caught you up to no good, make this easy.” Splendid sounded so tired of his shit. Lifty got a bit of a nervous look as Splendid picked him up off of his feet. “Woah woah! If you wanted to get your hands on me you could’ve invited me out to dinner-.” Splendid froze, got a bit red, and then dropped him. He stuttered for a moment before putting on his determined face again. “This isn’t the time for games, Lifty! Give me the bag of clothes!” Lifty saw an opportunity and cocked a grin. “Gee, tryna get clothes off’a me too? You’re gettin’ ahead of yourself-.” Splendids entire face went red as he kept looking around, completely blanking on how to respond to that. Lifty keeps up his grin as he gets in Splendids face. He slyly wraps his hand around Splendid and up to the back of his head, undoing his face mask and subtly pocketing it. “What’s’a matter squirrelly? Raccoon got your tongue?” Splendid noticably started tweaking from embarrassment. He stammered around, put his hands up defensively and then just shook his head. He grabs Lifty’s bag of stolen clothes and then just flies away as fast as he can. Too embarrassed to respond. Lifty chuckled a bit to himself, having an ‘oh well’ moment as he took out Splendids face mask, playing around with it. —— It was around 8 pm now. Lifty and Shifty were currently organising all the clothes that they stole into neat piles when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Shifty ran off to hide, suspecting the worst. Lifty got a mischievous idea, as he too expected the worst. He found a bath robe amongst the clothing they stole and put it on, slowly walking up to the door and opening it. “Who is it?” Splendid was standing there with his arms crossed. Lifty chuckled before Splendid could say anything. “Oh hey Splendy, come to wish me a good night?” Splendid was instantly thrown off of his game. “What?!? NO! OF COURSE NOT! GIVE ME BACK MY FACE MASK!” He did that stereotypical pose where he held his arms straight out behind him and leaned his head forward, closing his eyes as he yelled out. Lifty heard Shifty chuckling from his hiding spot. He kept up his act and leaned against his doorway, crossing his arms. “Listen, I know you can come up with better excuses to visit me at this hour…” Splendid waved his arms around. “SHUT UP! I DON’T LIKE YOU!” Lifty looked inside his house, then back at Splendid. “Listen squirrelly, it’s almost time for bed, unless you’re here to join me, we may have to keep this short.” Splendid was basically panicking at this point. “IM NOT! YOU- I JUST- MY- YOU HAVE-.” He stuttered a bit more. “JUST GIVE IT BACK!” Lifty pulls it out and dangles it next to his head, the same way someone would hold mistletoe whilst inviting in a kiss. Splendid looked at the gesture and just couldn’t bear it anymore, running off into the darkness out of embarrassment. Lifty just chuckled to himself as he closed the door and walked back to his brother to continue sifting through their steal. “Who was that? Your new boyfriend?” Shifty said in a sarcastic comment while giggling to himself. Lifty continued the bit. “He is quite adorable, who knows~.” They both laughed to each other as they resumed their sifting. The end
