Here we go...second chapter. Wish me luck!!! Johnny and all his friends do not belong to me, they belong to Jhonen Vasquez.

Johnny stared at Squee anticipating his answer. The little boy sat on his bed clutching his bear trying not to make eye contact with the tall figure standing over him. He looked just as terrified as always.

"Don't worry Squee! I'll take good care of you while you're gone from here. A nice vacation is all you need. And this would be the perfect chance," Nny reassured.

"I don't know…Shmee says that going would be a bad idea," Squee replied timidly.

"That lint-infested cottonball knows nothing!! NOTHING!!!"

"…I don't think I should go to Hollywood."

"Ok, fine you can bring Shmee with you. Both he and I will protect you. How does that sound, hm?"

"…squeeeee…" Squee, er, squeeed, quietly to himself.

"Well I'll take that as a yes! Good! Let's go!" Nny said excitedly as he picked up Squee's backpack and packed it for him. Nny ran back and forth finding things to fill the bag with and little Todd sat there unsure of what to say so he held Shmee tighter.

"Well, at least it means I don't have to go to school, huh Shmee," Squee finally said to his teddy bear.

The next place Johnny found himself was somewhere he never expected himself to ever be. In front on Devi's apartment door. There was yelling coming behind the locked door.

"I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THE FUCKIN' NERVE YOU HAVE COMING HERE AND ASKING ME IF I WANT TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD WITH YOU!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD AGREE TO THAT AFTER THE LAST STUNT YOU PULLED??" Devi screamed in fury from behind the door.

"Devi, please, I just don't know what to say anymore. If you could only understand the deepest regret I have for what I did and the true sincerity when I say I'm sorry. What I did before what wrong and impolite. I promise that I will never do anything like that. Just give me a chance…please?" Johnny pleaded. He wanted Devi to come with him most of all.

"Um, Mr. Scary Neighbor Man? What is it that you did that made her so mad?" Squee asked as he sat back against the wall.

"Oh, I, uh, tried to kill her," Johnny answered.

Squee's eyes widened to the size almost larger than his head. Quite suddenly he felt that running back home would be a brilliant idea. But there was no way he could do that since he had no idea where he was, so Squee backed up even closer to the wall and hid his scared face with his dusty bear.

"Johnny?" Devi began. "Who the hell is out there with you? Is it one of your murder buddies you've brought along to help?"

"No, never! This is my best friend Squee! You'd really like him! He's really nice. You could get to know him and his teddy bear friend if you come…"

"Teddy bear…? YOU BROUGHT A CHILD ALONG WITH YOU?!?!" Devi screeched.

"Well, I couldn't leave him. Squee is the bestest friend I have…" Nny said uncomfortably to the door.

Suddenly he could hear rushed footsteps running back and forth from behind the door. He wondered what Devi was doing back there. Then the footsteps reached the front and the door quickly bolted open with full force and before Nny could tell what hit something…something really did hit him. It threw him back against the wall and he heard Squee freaking out. Nny felt the pain go up his back, but tried to stand up anyways. The impact left him a bit woozy. The rubbed his head and opened his eyes to see that a bulging huge bag is what had hit him, probably thrown by Devi, he reasoned. Devi stood that the front of her door wearing a very furious, almost deadly, look. Even if Nny had planned to kill her, he would have had to rethink it because he looked almost homicidal herself. She stomped over to Nny and stared straight into his face.

"There's no way in hell I am letting a little kid go with you alone to Hollywood!! So listen, I am going but this is in NO way forgiveness for what you did!!! So you don't lay even a FINGER on me or that kid, GOT IT?! And if you do, I swear I will hurt you more than you could ever hurt me! I am NOT afraid of you Johnny!" Devi screamed into Johnny's face. Johnny, for the most part, was now terrified of her.

"…I, uh, like your hair…"

Devi pulled away and quite suddenly her rage melted away and she smiled at the little boy who had been cowered up against the wall. She kneeled down to his level and began.

"Hi Squee, I'm Devi. Don't worry about Johnny. I'll make sure he doesn't hurt you. I'll be sure to protect you from this creep."

She stood up and frowned at Nny. He stood against the wall unsure of how to react against the renegade woman. Devi lifted her head as if noticing some sort of change in the atmosphere. She took a step back and looked up and down the aisle worriedly.

"Let's leave. Right now," Devi demanded.

Nny picked up Devi's heavy luggage and prompted Squee to stand up and start walking with them. Devi was walking ahead of them at a quick pace as if trying to get out of the apartment complex before something bad happened.

"Will you two hurry up?" Devi rushed.

"Will you slow down?" Nny said in a tired tone. "You're not the one carrying a giant luggage bag. What do you have in here, anyways? Ten dead bodies?"

"Oh yes, I killed them just for you as a gift," Devi retorted as she looked behind to shoulder to give Nny a dirty look.

Nny slowed down.

"Hey, I hear squeaking. Or is that just me?"

"Fuck…run dammit, run!!" Devi yelled as she broke into full running.

She rushed down the stairs as fast as possible hoping that the other two were also right behind her. She could hear the squeaking getting louder and beckoned for Nny and Squee to hurry it up. Finally the front apartment door was in sight but just as they reached it, someone Johnny did not know jump seemingly out of nowhere and blocked the exit.

"DEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!" the unknown black woman yelled happily as she threw her arms around Devi. Devi did not return the hug.

"Hi Tenna."

"Watcha doing???" Tenna asked curiously as she unfolded her arms from around Devi.

Devi sighed.

"I'm going to be gone for a few days."

"What?? But…Spooky will miss you! You can't hurt Spooky like that!"

"I reeaaaallly don't think Spooky is doing to have a total breakdown if I go. Hey, wait, why are you carrying a packed bag with you…? Tenna…?" Devi grew suspicious. "You're not planning to come, right?"

"Devi! Of course I'm coming! We're inseparable! You can't go to Hollywood without me! We're like a spork! You can be the spoon and I'm the fork! We're nothing without each other!" Tenna beckoned.

"Hey, how did you know I was going to Hollywood?"

"A little Spooky passed the news onto me," Tenna said.

Devi glared down at the squeak toy in Tenna's hand that was now squeaking away annoyingly. Devi sighed once more. She actually would enjoy Tenna for company along the way and maybe later on they would both beat up Johnny together. She looked back at Nny who was observing the scene strangely. Johnny saw noticed Devi's pleading look and he knew what she meant. He nodded.

"Well alright Tenna but don't give me a reason to kill you while we're there," Devi said smiling.

"Yay!"
