Hey guys! Bare with me, I've never wrote a story for The IT Crowd before so sorry if this isn't right, although I love the show - and yes I know it's short. Hope you like it XD Ace

Allons-y! (From that you may have guessed other TV shows I write 'bout)

It was an almost normal day. Almost. Mainly because Richmond decided to pop up...

Moss was on his computer (as always); Roy was also at his computer, getting fed up of saying 'Hello. IT department. Have you tried switching it on and off again?', whilst Jen was trying to persuade them to clean up the place once more. They were all dreading the moment they'd see Richmond again (since he'd recently recovered from having scurvy) and were already all 'gloomed up' for his return so things couldn't get as depressing. Yet when the goth did make his presence known, it wasn't what they wereul, expecting - at all:

The red door swung open, not to reveal gloominess but normalness?

"Hey guys" Richmond came swanning out, holding up a palm in greeting,petrified to meet there sea of fearful,hateful (mostly from Roy) eyes, whilst the others stood there, completely dumb-struck. Meanwhile, Roy had snapped out of it and grabbed a broom - which he'd threatened Richmond with before (upon his return) - and held it out defensively. He didn't recognise him. None of them did, although Moss being Moss had some sort of idea - *cough* geek. It was due to the fact that Richmond had abandoned his goth style and was now back to his original self - with blonde hair, a suit and a face that had a bit more colour, charm and shine to it now.

"Oh look! Richmond's still alive." Moss had pieced it together and decided the best way to announce it to Jen and Roy was to quote the past (not that they wanted to remember it).

"That's Richmond?" Jen gaped, disbelieving the truth.

"What do mean that's Richmond?" Roy quizzed Moss.

"That's Richmond! Isn't it Richmond?" Moss answered.

"What?" the blonde... stranger... no... trespasser ... no ... Richmond look-a-like asked.

It was 7PM and the IT department (minus Moss andRA AQ the ex-goth) were still frozen.

"That's Richmond?" Roy still spoke with a disbelieving tone to himself; Jen and the whispers of the air.

3AM

Jen had left. Roy was alone when he finally snapped out of it. He was trying to get it into his head by writing a diary entry on the computer for the first time in ... well... ever. So far, he on had a title (which he didn't need) of :'That's Richmond?' what his mum suggested over the phone.

5AM

He had a few lines...:

'That's Richmond?'

By Roy.

'... So alone. Wind my only friend'

He could of swore he heard an eireey whisper of a reply: "I hate you..."
