Anita and Jennifer go on an adventure that may change the course of the friendship. Please review! Also, I was thinking of writing an incest story involving the characters from Zombieland. Would anyone be cool with that? If not I probably won't. Until next time!

Nearly 2 weeks into her community service she actually started to find Anita less annoying. She sure got excited easily and talked about things that went over Jennifer's head. Her friends teased her at the mall on her night off.

"So what's it like?" Shauna asked as they ate MacDonalds in the food court.

"What what's like?"

"Babysitting and not getting paid," she laughed.

"I'm not babysitting," Jennifer said while playing with her nuggets. "I'm her friend."

"She is a total freak," Danielle chimed in.

"She's not a freak!" Jennifer snapped.

Both girls were surprised by this but didn't back down, "Maybe the longer she hangs out with you she'll become just like you," Shauna snarked.

"Or you'll turn into her," Danielle giggled.

"You guys have her all wrong. If people gave her a chance they'd see she's really not all that weird."

"Didn't you tell us she had a wall with pictures of boobs taped to it?"

It slipped Jennifer's mind that she brought that up during her first tirade about her community service. Of course anyone would have a few things to say about the seemingly perverse fascinations that Anita had; Jennifer didn't think she was gay.

"Uh...yeah. She wants to have big breasts because she thinks people will like her."

"It would help," the two mean girls laughed.

Both girls decided they had enough of Jennifer trying to bum them out for one night, they headed out without even clearing their garbage.

"Have fun riding the short bus, Jen!" Danielle quipped.

Jennifer knew there was no sense in trying to talk reason to those two nimrods, they were worse than her. She sat alone for several minutes with her head in her hands.

An older man approached her. He was thinning out on top but certainly thickening up in his midsection. "Hello, Jennifer."

Jennifer looked up at him in a daze, "Oh, hi Mister Timmons."

He had this weird smile on his fat face, "Still coming after school to improve your grades?"

Jennifer had trouble in Timmon's class before but recently he found an alternative to help her improve; they came to a negotiation so to speak. "Yes, sir."

"Good," he said, giving her shoulder a quick rub. "See you then."

"Creep!" thought Jennifer.

She honestly couldn't wait to see Anita the next day.


"This is fanfiction." Anita showed Jennifer on her laptop.

Jennifer was aware of what fanfiction was but never bothered ever reading it. She noticed some acronyms and words she never even heard of. "AU means 'Alternate Universe'...and Canon means it takes place in the stoy's universe...and Lemons means some adult content is about to be read." Anita laughed sneakily as she pushes up her glasses.

"What's F/F mean?" Jennifer pointed to the letters.

Anita's smile stretched like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. "Femslash!"

"And what is femslash?"

"That's where you take two female characters and pair them even if they weren't a couple in the original source material." Anita was passionate about this but had a sinking suspicion that Jennifer was less than thrilled. "Kind of weird, huh?"

This was the first Jennifer had seen Anita even the slightest bit upset or quiet. It was kind of cute about how excited she got at this topic; maybe she was into girls. "I think it's hot," Jennifer smiled.

Anita found her smile again, "Cool. You're kind of weird you know that?" Both girls laughed and hit each other with the fluffy pillows on Anita's bed. "Oh! Do you want to go for a hike?"

Jennifer frowned, it wasn't really something on her list, not really big on nature and the boring outdoors. "Needy..."

"No, the trail is cool! There's this brook I think is magic!"

Jennifer just smiled and nodded, "Magic. Right."

"Will you come with me? Pleeeaaasseee?"

Jennifer pretended to think about it. She knew the poor girl was going to ask her no matter what. "Ok!" She rolled her eyes.

"Yay!" Anita hugged her tightly.

Jennifer knew her stuck up friends would jump to conclusions and think that Anita intended on taking her on this hike in order to murder her. She honestly didn't K Ow why she herself was thinking that way. Anita was harmless. Or so she thought.

"And you'll sleepover?"

"Uh...not tonight."

"Oh, ok. When you do it does get pretty cold here at night. We may have to rub our butts together."

Jennifer almost wasn't certain of what she just said, "What?"

Anita cackled, she had such a peculiar laugh, "Just kidding!"

On their way out, Anita put a bicycle helmet on. "Oh, you have a bike?"

"Nope," Anita said cheerfully.

Jennifer just giggled, "Why are you wearing a helmet?"

"Anything could happen out there. We need to be prepared."

"Well yeah, bug spray and sun tan lotion. You're not wearing a helmet, Needy."

"I'll get you one too!" Jennifer groaned, there was no arguing with her.

Aunt Gladys barely acknowledged them on their way out; it was if she was glued to that chair of hers.

Jennifer was wearing sneakers today but couldn't seem to keep up with the girl who was walking at a very brisk pace. "Slow down, okay?"

Anita stuck out her hand for her, as if she was rescuing her from a dangerous fall. The trail did lead up a steep incline. "Come with me if you want to live," she said in a deep voice.

Jennifer didn't get the reference, "Huh?"

"Terminator 2. The only R rated movie I've ever seen. Don't tell my aunt!"

The two casually held hands, sticking close together. "What's with your aunt any way?"

"I don't think she likes you. I like really you though in case you were wondering."

Anita had a very strong grip, and her smile seemed more devious than usual which made her wonder, "Um, as a friend, right?"

"Well, yeah! Duh! What other way would there be?"

Maybe Anita was a lesbian and didn't realize it. "So you say that you watched an r ates movie...you also watch Game of Thrones and stuff like that. Isn't there like a lot of sex and violence in those shows?"

"Sex? What are you talking about?"

"Needy...you don't know about sex?"

Anita gave her this confused look, like a lost girl. She couldn't hold that expression for very long however and cracked up. "I'm messing with you! But I don't see a lot of the adult stuff because Gladys monitors what I watch. All of my copies are blurred and blacked out."

"Wow, that really sucks."

"So how did you become a criminal?"

Jennifer's mouth dropped, "Excuse me?"

"I heard Miss Johnson talking to someone about you and how you have three strikes. Said you hung out with a lot of troublemakers."

Jennifer sighed. She remembered talking to her mother about the incident.

"It's not that bad, Mom!" She hollared.

"Not that bad? What are you stupid?!"

It was a night she could barely remember. She got talked into going to that bar or at least that's what she thought happened. She got so drunk and ended up at a band member's house. She woke up and tried stealing his car to get home. But it wasn't her fault, that guard rail came our of nowhere along with that chain link fence, mailbox and parked car.

Her mother expected her to get a worse punishment. Her mother was a little neglectful so she never did get around to working out a punishment at home.

"Wow! That's so cool!"

"It is?" Jennifer thought this news of her drunken stupor would've made Anita think less of her in some way but instead considered her a hero.

"What's it like going out and drinking?"

"It's fun...until you have too much..."

"Do you do it lot?"

"Not any more."

"That's too bad. Would you ever take me some place like that?"

"I think your aunt would kill me if I got you in trouble."

"Yeah, you're probably right. But I wouldn't mind getting into a little bit of trouble." Anita's attention was turned to something else. She grabbed her best friend without any warning and led her to a sparkling stream.

Jennifer did think it looked beautiful. She wanted to walk down to it but I stead of following the trail she wanted to walk down the small hill despite the jagged rocks. "Careful, Jen!"

"Relax, Needy. This is nothing!" She wasn't looking in front of her, showing just as much carelessness as her bar night. She slipped pathetically, skinning her knee on a rock and falling into the water.

Anita rushed to her aid. "I told you you needed to be prepared for anything!"

Jennifer's knee stung just a bit but when she was in the water it seemed to heal. She had this strange feeling that made her feel good all over. Anita helped her out of the water. Jennifer had a limp but for whatever reason her mind was taken off of that and she was more focused on Anita. Something about her just attracted her eye. She seemed brighter, like an aura surrounding her.

Maybe Jennifer hit her head on the fall or...what if it was something more?

"Are you ok?" She let Jennifer put her weight on her while she walked them both back to her house. Jennifer just smiled and managed to get out, "Uh-huh." She looked so dopey, like in a dream state.

"You should listen to me next time."

"I will," Jennifer agreed. "I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."

Neither girl saw the big barrel of toxic chemicals. It had been accidently dumped some time ago during a traffic accident and made its way there. It was meant to be disposed of at specific location along with hundreds more. Jennifer had no idea what was about to happen to her.
