It was after school that day and Deidra was getting things ready for when Beavis came over. Her father was not too pleased about this.

"So that Beavis-boy is coming over here?" He questioned as if try to convince himself that this fact was true. Deidra nodded

"He's coming over to rehearse for the school play." She told him for the third or fourth time that day. Before her dad could say anymore the doorbell rang.

"Well, just know it's him I don't trust not you!" Her Father called to her as he ran to answer the door.

"Um...Hi, heh-heh..." Beavis sheepishly greeted, becoming nervous at the sight of the glare the older-man was giving him

"I-Is Deidra home? Heh-heh..." He stuttered. Why did everyone hate him so much? The older-man gave Beavis an easy smile.

"She's in the living room." He replied, stepping aside so the blond could walk in.

"Hi Beavis!" Deidra greeted him with a smile, holding a copy of the play in her hand.

"Ready to rehearse?" She questioned.

"Yeah! Yeah! Heh-heh!" Beavis perked up a bit. His infamous, sweet smile returning. The two rehearsed for a good three and a half hours, Beavis actually getting pretty good.

Years of having to convincingly lie his way out of things had paid off as Beavis had practically transformed into a different person while playing Romeo. He was actually having fun acting.

"You're gonna do great in the play, Beavis!" Deidra announced to Beavis and Butthead the next morning when she spotted them, at school. What she was unaware of was that Butthead was not liking this girl being around his best friend. Deidra was the girl Butthead always picked on in kindergarten and he was not the only one. Other kids in school still picked on Deidra.

"Thanks! Heh-heh!" Beavis smiled sweetly at the girl.

"Beavis? Can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Butthead growled.

"Um...okay? Heh-heh..." Beavis nervously agreed as he followed Butthead.

"What the Hell dude?!" Butthead hissed when he and Beavis were alone.

"What are you doing hanging around a buttmunch like her?!" He growled.

"Well, I kinda like...have to and she's kinda hot and she's real nice to me and she hasn't hit me once! Heh-heh!" Beavis excitedly explained, unaware that a blush was beginning to form on his features. Butthead sighed loudly.

"Whatever, dude! Uh-huh-huh…If you hang around with her, you're an even bigger buttmunch than I thought!" He growled. As Beavis and Butthead were walking back to where Deidra stood, they saw a couple of the popular girls walking by her with mean smirks on their faces.

"I wore that dress in the fourth grade!" One of the girls remarked.

"Nice sweater!" The other girl snorted sarcastically. Deidra smiled kindly at them.

"Thank you!" She thanked, watching as they walked away, both girls bursting into laughter as they left, mocking her. Beavis shot the popular girls a death-glare before heading back over to Deidra.

"Don't like...listen to them; they pick on me too, they're so stupid! Heh-heh..." He reassured her. Deidra smiled at him.

"I don't pay them any attention…" She reassured.

"Don't worry." Opening her locker and taking a book out, Deidra turned back to Beavis.

"So, are we still rehearsing at my house again this afternoon?" She asked.

"Of course! Heh-heh!" Beavis grinned, his sweet smile returning. Deidra's smile faded a little as she thought of something.

"But you have to promise me one thing…" She began.

"What's that? Heh-heh..." Though he appeared more concerned, Beavis still kept his smile.

"You have to promise you won't fall in love with me…" Deidra replied. Beavis instantly appeared heartbroken.

"Oh, um...okay..." He sadly looked down at the floor. He had already begun to like her but he felt foolish for ever thinking he would ever have a chance with a girl. Seeing how heartbroken he was, Deidra wanted to tell him what was on her mind but ultimately decided against it. Not just yet, it would break his heart even more.

"I-It's okay, really...Girls never really liked me...Heh...heh...I'm used to it..." Beavis forced a smile in an attempt to hide the fact that he was on the verge of tears.

"Beavis…" Deidra gasped, gently grabbing his arm.

"I do like you! I do…" She paused.

"It's just…" She just could not bring herself to say it but she hated seeing him hurt like this.

"You don't wanna be seen with me..." Beavis guessed. He had heard that one far, too many times.

Deidra shook her head, tears threatening to fall down her own face. Gently, she led Beavis to an empty part in the schoolyard.

"Beavis? I'm sick…" She admitted softly.

"S-Sick? Whata ya mean?" He questioned, already having a bad feeling that it was serious.

Tears filled her eyes as she averted her gaze to the ground then back up at Beavis.

"I have Leukemia…" She explained in a voice that was barely above a whisper. Beavis knew what that meant from all the serious shows that M.T.V. started airing.

"A-Are you going to die?" He questioned with a tilt of his head. He also knew that some Cancers could be survived.

"I found out a couple years ago…" Deidra replied.

"I've stopped responding to treatments. The doctor told me I should live my life as normally as possible." She sighed.

"I still like you..." Beavis reassured with a sad smile. On the verge of tears, Deidra leaned in a bit closer to him.

"I like you too…" She whispered before gently kissing his cheek and quickly turning around to run away. She did not want to upset him anymore. Beavis began to cry silently as he desperately hoped that no one would find him.

Butthead walked out, into the schoolyard, searching for his best friend. Smiling, he spotted Beavis almost instantly.

"What's your problem, buttwagon? Uh-huh-huh-huh…" He asked upon seeing Beavis' tears.

"Nothin'! I just got somethin' in my eye..." Beavis lied as he profusely attempted to wipe his face clean.

"You were crying! Huh-huh…" Butthead chuckled, stating the obvious.

"You were crying again!" He added.

"W-Who cares?" Beavis shamefully averted his tearful-gaze to the ground. Butthead's remarks were not helping as he continued to sob softly.

"Uh-huh-huh…You dumbass!" Butthead snickered before walking back into the school. Beavis gasped in surprise at the insult and of course began to cry harder.
