Not So Simple (Root Pack x Reader)

Chapter 2: Angry Surprise

(((Y/N) POV))

"Huh, not half bad." 

I stand in front of the tall mirror in my bedroom, checking out my reflection. I decided to go with a nice (F/C) sundress that matched my complection quite well. 

Glancing at the clock I guessed that Beppi and Djimmi would be here any minute now. I hope this party will be fun. The last one I went to was way too awkward for me. 

Of course that is when I heard a knock at the door. I trotted over to the door and opened it, preparing for Beppi's usual tackle hug greeting. 

But, it never came. Djimmi had Beppi locked in his own hug as soon as the door opened. You three had known each other long enough to have a pretty good idea of what each other liked and didn't, he thought you wouldn't enjoy Beppi tackling you after you worked so hard on your appearance. 

You mouthed him a silent 'Thank you,' and Beppi was released, looking a little red in the face. 

"Hey (Y/N) ready to go?" Djimmi asked while he straightened out his vest a little. 

"Yep, I'm guessing you all are too?" I closed the door behind me and stepped out into my yard. It was a modest space with a small garden where I grew tomatoes and other veggies in the summer. 

"Yes, Beppi you need anything?"

Beppi who still had yet to recover from the hug, covered his face with his hands and shook his head no. 

"Well alright then. Let's go!" I said as I skipped away from my house. 

The walk to the party was mostly quiet. Beppi tried a few corny pick up lines out on, Djimmi who thought it was cute and funny. It was hard to tell with Djimmi's red skin, but if you looked very close you could see his cheeks were starting to get a little bit of blush on them. Oh~ These two got it bad. 

I nudged Djimmi a little closer to Beppi and wiggled my eyebrows. He kinda glared at me and puffed his pipe.  

"So who's gonna be at the party tonight anyway?" 

Beppi was the one who answered. "I think a few people from Isle 3, Bon bon, Grim, maybe Wally if he gets Jr. to sleep quick, and all the people from Isle 1. Oh! And us! Also us." 

"Huh I don't think I've met anyone from Isle 1. Either of you know anybody?"

"Hmm... I know a flower named Cagney Carnation, ugh what a party pooper. He's so angry all the time. He threatened to pop me when I told him some jokes!" Beppi pouted. 

"Well to be fair, those puns were very, very bad." Djimmi said thoughtfully. "Honestly, it's no wonder he got so upset with you." 

"Oh leaf him alone i'm sure he didn't mean it." I said with a sly smirk. Beppi immediately perked up and smiled brightly at me. Djimmi looked done with life. 

"Ok stop, we are almost there and if that carnation hears either of you two he will unleash some floral fury." Djimmi advised. 

"Come on, he's a flower. I understand if he has some thorns how that would scare Beppi, but seriously how horrible could this "floral fury" be?" I laughed. 

Beppi and Djimmi weren't laughing, in fact they looked horrified. They seemed to be staring at something... behind... you...

I felt something sharp wrap around my waist and drag me into the air, pricking my arms and drawing a little blood. I was turned around and came face to face with a very angry flower. 

"H-hello! Y-y-you m-must be  C-Cagney?"
