Hey!!!!! I got bored and wanted to start a new story, plus I've had this idea for a while… Even though I haven't finished my other story….. anyway…. It's on the same topic anyway so…. Enjoy!!

My name is Todd Casil, I'm fifteen years old, I go to school, my best friend is the antichrist, and I live with my neglectful parents. Oh, and I also live next door to a psychopathic killer! Actually, right now I'm on my way home, sitting on a bus with Pepito.

Our parents sent us off to camp for the summer. His parents wanted him to have more human experiences, were as mine just wanted me out of the house.

Pepito looked up from his Pokémon DS game to face me, "You know you don't have to go home tonight. You could stay at my house."

I sighed, "No, my parents are expecting me to be home on time. I suppose they're tired of making their own food by now." I turned my back to my friend so I could stare out the window. Pepito knew me too well; he knew I regretted going home to my absent minded parents. What he didn't know was that I was also afraid of who would be waiting for me in my room, once my parents sent me to bed…

When the bus finally pulled to a stop the anxiety set in. Pepito and I stepped off the bus and watched as the vehicle advanced on to its next destination. I pulled my book bag back over my shoulder as we walked to Pepito's house. When we reached the front porch his mother greeted us at the door.

"Welcome home Pepito, your father is in the basement waiting for you." She wrapped him in a hug and went back inside.

"Okay Todd, see you at school."

"Bye Pepito." I left Satan's house and walked further down the road.

The rest of the walk was… well… for lack of a better word… boring. There was nothing to distract me from the sidewalk. I stopped to watch a squirrel dig at the grass… not very interesting…

Then I reached… his house… my psychopathic neighbor's house. I couldn't help but smile; I guess I sort of missed him. It was kinda weird not having Nny sneaking into my room almost every night…

When I finally reached my home, I walked in the door, "Mom, Dad, I'm home."

No answer. I sighed, they must be out. Had someone been cleaning? The house smelled like lemons and Clorox.

There was a note on the counter; odd they don't usually leave notes when they go out.

Todd,

We went out, won't be back till late.

Be nice to the housekeeper.

…….huh? Housekeeper?

"Hey you must be Todd." I turned to see who had addressed me.

It was a girl. She couldn't have been older than me. She had long dark hair with a white strand hanging on one side of her face. She was wearing a long sleeve black shirt and blue jeans, topped with a red apron. I'd never seen someone so pale. She looked at me for a moment, then she raised an eyebrow.

"Will you please stop staring at me?"

I looked away from her embarrassed, "Sorry."

"If you haven't already figured it out, I'm the new housekeeper."

"Yeah, I kinda guessed that. So, what's your name?"

"Kristina. Kristina Blaire. You can call me Kristy."

"So, how long are you going to stay?"

"I'm guessing the rest of the year, maybe longer. It depends on if your parents want me here or not."

"Well the house is spotless."

"Thanks, I'm kind of a neat freak. Hey I made a pizza if you're hungry."

"Yeah! I haven't eaten since breakfast."

We ate pepperoni pizza and watched Invader Zim. I don't understand why it got canceled, it was an awesome show!

When Kristy finished her pizza she turned to me, "I love Jhonen Vasquez's work. Gir is my favorite cartoon character."

I smiled, "Yeah, I have all the filler bunny comics."

"Me too! Did you know, he directed the music video for 'Shut me up' by MSI?"

"Yeah, he's got some issues."

"That's why he's so awesome!"

"True, very true."

The invader Zim marathon went on until ten, ending with Gir stirring cake batter singing the doom song in slow-mo.

"I think I understand now."

"What?" I replied.

"Why they canceled Invader Zim. Some things in the show aren't very suitable for younger kids and some parts can be considered disturbing."

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, but that's why we like it."

She nodded too. She'd become less talkative as the time went by. At first she wouldn't shut up, now she barely says a word. Her face went from light and happy to hard and serious. She looked at me again with a raised eyebrow.

"You're staring at me again." She said.

Crap, again? "Sorry… daydreaming."

She let out a heavy sigh, "I have to go." She stood up and started toward the door. "Your parents will probably be back before I am."

"Where are you going?"

"… Out." She slammed the door and walked down the sidewalk.

………………that was odd…..

My parents got home about midnight; of course they sent me to my room as soon as they walked through the door.

I walked into my room, my head full of questions. What was Kristy's problem? Why did she leave all of a sudden? What would she be doing this late at night? With a heavy sigh I lay down on my bed to stare at the ceiling. Then I heard a tap on my window. Well, my part-time room mate is here. I went over to undo the lock so Nny could climb through the window.

"Hey Squee! How was your summer?" He said as he got his feet trough the frame.

"Okay I guess it was nice to get away from my parents for a while."

"Well I'm sure they got along fine without you."

"Yeah, especially with Kristina here."

"Ah yes, the new housekeeper. She's got some weird habits."

I looked at him, "What kind of habits?"

"Well, she goes out late once a week and I've never seen her come back, plus she acts really weird just before she leaves."

"Have you been spying again?"

"…well I get bored when you're not here."

I laughed, "Like you have nothing better to do."

"True, I could pass my time killing people, but I'm getting tired of it; it's more like a chore now."

I shrugged, "Well I was wondering, could you follow her the next time she goes out? I can't follow her cause of my parents."

Nny stood up and walked toward the window, "Yeah I can do that, but you can do something now."

"What?"

"Every time she comes back she's always carrying a small white box. If you can figure out what's inside the box you might have less questions."

"Or more questions." I said.

"Well in any case she won't be leaving till this time next week so find out as much as you can on your own."

I couldn't help myself; I jumped up and hugged my neighbor. I guess I really did miss him…

Nny sat me back down on my bed and looked at me, "I didn't think you would miss me that much." He hugged me and tucked me into bed. "Good night Squee."

"Night Nny."

YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!! I had fun writing this!! I don't know y I just did… anyway… please REVIEW!!!!!!
