"Dandy, dear!" Gloria exclaimed excitedly. "I've got a surprise for you! Would you please come down?"

As they stopped right before the spiral staircase Jimmy stood in awe at the size of the Mott manor. Never had he entered a building so big, let alone a house. No wonder they offered so much money for Bette and Dot, with a house this big they probably used $100 bills as napkins.

The sound of steps coming from upstairs startled the lobster boy and in a flash, the same guy who he saw the day before at the show was looking his way from the stairs. Jimmy wasn't used to getting looked at the way that guy was looking at him. Most people let it be on the freak show or while on his late night rendezvous, always met him with astonished or crept out expressions. The giddy look Gloria's son gave him made the lobster boy feel quite uncomfortable.

"Is that him?" Dandy asked as he eagerly made his way to the ground floor. "Is that my freak, mother?"

Jimmy cringed.

"In the flesh." Gloria replied proudly. "You two boys go ahead and play. I'll be in my boudoir in case you two need anything."

"Uh… Mrs. Mott?" Jimmy quickly called out.

"Yes?"

The lobster boy quickly walked towards her. "How am I supposed to keep him busy?" He whispered.

"I don't know you're an entertainer. Surprise him." She answered. "And remember the deal we made."

Jimmy just nodded in defeat. "Alright… sure." He then turned around to meet Dandy at an uncomfortably close distance. "Whoa! Umm… hi?"

"You, come with me." Dandy exclaimed while grabbing Jimmy's arm and dragging him to another of the mansions many rooms.

Huge rocking horses, a heard of stuffed animals and a small croquet set were amongst the many different things inside what Jimmy assumed was the house's rumpus room. Dandy continued dragging Jimmy through the room until both of them sat on the green couch in front of what appeared to be a miniature stage.

"So?" Dandy asked. "What do you do?"

"What do you mean?" Jimmy replied confused.

"If you're a freak then you've got to do something special." Dandy asked. "Come on, show me!"

"Okay, if we're gonna make this work you're gonna have to stop calling me that." Jimmy said in an annoyed tone.

"Call you what?" Dandy asked obliviously.

"Freak!" Jimmy snapped back. "It's not like I'm calling you out on that ridiculous haircut of yours so what gives you the right to call me names?"

"Hey!" Dandy exclaimed offended. "Watch your mouth! Mother bought you for me, I can do whatever I want with you and I'll sure as hell call you whatever I want!"

"Okay punk first off your mother rented me." Jimmy said, correcting the rich guy. "There's a difference, second I can walk out of this place whenever the fuck I want so if you really want my time you're gonna need to humble yourself, prick!"

Dandy leered at the lobster boy but it appeared as if the scolding helped in keeping the boy in check. "Fine." Dandy replied with a pout on his face and his arms crossed, it was almost like dealing with a child.

"Good." Jimmy answered before taking one of his mittens off revealing one of his hands.

Dandy's face changed into one of sheer amazement in a blink of an eye. His mouth dropped while his eyes remained wide opened. "I-is that your…?"

"Hand? Yes." Jimmy replied while Dandy stilled looked at it with amazement.

"Wow…" Dandy replied. His eyes couldn't believe what he saw. A lot of questions popped into his head while looking at the lobster boy's hands. "Do they work?"

Jimmy nodded while using his uncovered hand to take the mitt of the other one. "Yeah, I suppose you 'normal' people have it easier but I can manage on my own."

"Oh you have it all wrong!" Dandy intervened. "I'm not one of them."

"What?" Jimmy asked perplexed at Dandy's comment. "One of who?"

"Those people you call 'normal', well I'm not one of them." Dandy continued. "Mother just doesn't get it but I'm really trying to make her understand."

Jimmy raised an eyebrow. Whatever this guy was saying didn't make any sense. "And why wouldn't you want to be normal?"

"Because normal is boring." Dandy replied quickly.

"Well, being different isn't all that great either." The lobster boy said. "I can't remember the last time I walked down the street without these stupid things covering my hands."

He dropped the mittens on top of one of the tea tables in front of the couch. Dandy just stared at him. "At least your life is interesting…"

"Hey, never take all that you have for granted." Jimmy said while resting his back on the couch. "Your game room is bigger than all of the tents at the freak show slammed together, you're very lucky to have all of this."

"No I'm not!" Dandy yelled. "I'm never allowed to leave this house on my own! Mother always tells me what I should and shouldn't do and everything around here is such a bore. I hate my life!"

"Whoa, calm down." Jimmy said before laying a hand on Dandy's shoulder. "Life doesn't have to be boring. Besides, you have so many things around here that, at least to me, would be entertaining enough for a whole lifetime."

"All these toys are no fun when I'm the only one using them." Dandy answered back.

"Then invite some friends over or something." Jimmy insisted. "I don't think anyone would reject an invitation to your house."

"Well… I invited you." Dandy replied. "Sort of."

"Oh…" The comment made Jimmy realize how harsh things actually were. No wonder he acted so weird, with an overly protective mother it was no wonder Dandy was so sheltered and longing for freedom. Kind of made him realize how his own advice actually went both ways. One cannot take what they have for granted. "You're right."

"By the way, you never told me how you wanted me to call you." Dandy said.

"Jimmy." The lobster boy answered while giving the boy a warm smile. The fact that he asked for his name rather than still referring to him as 'Freak' was at least showing he wasn't as stubborn as Jimmy had thought. If anything, Jimmy could try to make him a better person because god knows the world didn't need another wealthy douche.

Dandy looked back at Jimmy, glee once again filling his eyes. "So what do you want to do first?"

"I dunno, I'll let you pick." Jimmy replied.

"Do you like puppets?" Dandy asked, the childish joy on his face was just too precious for Jimmy to handle and although puppets freaked the hell out of him he could make an exception.

"Sure."

"He fell asleep shortly after we finished the second croquet game." Jimmy said while Gloria rummaged through her wallet.

"Did you let him win?" The socialite asked. "He hates loosing."

"Yeah about that, I think you should be a bit less forgiving with him, Mrs. Mott." Jimmy explained. "Once you look past the nasty attitude he's an okay guy but he's a grown man, he needs to learn to fend for himself every now and then."

"Don't you tell me how to raise my boy!" Gloria snapped back. "Just take the money and leave."

Gloria handed Jimmy $300 dollars, which the lobster boy quickly packed in his back pocket. "I'm just saying…"

"Out." Gloria interrupted before opening the mansion's front door. "I'll be expecting you here tomorrow by around seven?"

"Sure." Jimmy answered.

"Perfect." Gloria replied.

"Rough night?" Amazon Eve asked the lobster boy while handing him a dish.

"You tell me, Eve." Jimmy asked. "How fucked up do I look."

"From a scale of one to ten probably around… twelve?" The tall woman joked, Jimmy just sighed. "Nah, I'm just messing with you. But you should go talk to your mother, she was pretty worried about you not showing up earlier yesterday."

"Speaking 'bout that, how as last night's show?" Jimmy asked while taking a sip out of his breakfast stew.

"Eh, same old, same old." Eve replied. "Not quite as sold out as two days ago but the twins did help attract a bigger crowd than anything we saw the past month."

"What about Elsa?" The lobster boy asked. "Hear she wasn't in the mood to show herself."

"Yeah, I don't know what hit her but she managed to come out by around the show began and did her routine." Eve said, meanwhile the Tattler twins took a seat right across both of them. "Hey girls."

"Hi Eve." Bette said cheerfully. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Don't be such a snoop." Dot quickly told her sister.

Jimmy couldn't help but grin. The idea of two completely different people sharing the same body intrigued him but he knew that Dot's rough exterior wasn't all the girl had to offer.

"I was just telling Jimmy about last night's show." Eve answered. "Not thing special."

"Oh that's right! Where were you yesterday, Jimmy?" Better began. "Ethel was so worried about you and we had to find someone else to fill in for your par-"

"Stop snooping, Bette!" Dot yelled while interrupted her sister.

The cheerful twin quickly looked down. "I'm sorry…"

"Hey don't worry Dot, Bette's not snooping." Jimmy reassured the other twin. "I was just running some errands for mom and got caught up in something, that's all."

"You see?" Bette told her sister. "I swear Jimmy, Dot's just cranky 'cause you weren't around yesterday. If I didn't knew any better I'd say she lik-"

A dry smack sound filled the air as Dot's hand slapped Bette's face. "Keep your mouth shut you idiot!" Dot's face slowly began turning red.

All eyes were on the conjoined twins as Bette began crying softly. "Why do you have to be so mean to me?"

Unable to bear with the attention both of them walked out. Jimmy couldn't help but feel bad for both of them. Still, he didn't bother going after them. After all they already had enough to deal with on their own, they didn't need him getting in the way.

Before he could continue eating, the radio on the other side of the table began broadcasting a news report on the recent murders that had happened through Jupiter. What really caught everyone's attention was the mention of the missing cop.

I'm really surprised at all the attention this story got. I wasn't expecting so many people to be into this ship.

As for the chapter, it was kind of hard to stick to most of the canon stuff as Dandy isn't exactly the most… redeemable of characters but I'm trying my best. The ending of this chapter is supposed to be a prologue of 4x02, which events will actually be canon on my story, excluding the Dandy/Twisty parts. Also please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes. I always proofread after posting.

Thanks again for the support and please let me know if you're enjoying it!
