October 14th
Author's Notes: Once again, sorry about the delay with the last chapter. Anyways, here's October 14th. Review and Slappy won't make you his slave… well, maybe. In fact, he probably will, but at least I'll be happy.
11:00 AM:
"… What is it?" Double D asked. "It's a plant, duh." Eddy responded. "Yes, but what kind?" "I guess it's one of those fly-eating plants." "A flytrap?" "Yeah, that's right." "I've never seen anything like this!"
The two friends were observing Eddy's new plant curiously. "It's a sickly little thing, Eddy." Double D observed. "It keeps wilting… odd…"
"Maybe we should water it?" Eddy asked. "Yes, maybe." Double D said with a nod. "But, first, I'm going to go look it up in father's botany books. I'm sure it must be in there."
12:00 PM:
Kevin was wearing the mask. The horns on the back had grown so it now resembled a four-pronged crown. A large, round, sinister-looking red eye was in the middle of the back of the head.
"Kevin, why do you wear this mask that frightens Rolf's livestock?" Rolf asked his friend. They were both in Rolf's kitchen. Rolf was stuffing grapes into eggplants and then placing the eggplants into a large squid.
"Shut up, Rolf." Kevin said as he watched Rolf with a morbid curiosity. "I've been wearing the mask since I woke up this morning and I feel great. It's like, all of a sudden, I'm invincible!"
"Kevin, you speak words of noodles and cabbage!" Rolf yelled angrily. "Remove the mask, lest Rolf do the dance of gopher-nymphs upon you head!"
"Again?" Kevin asked, whining. With a sigh, Kevin pulled on the horns… and nothing happened. "W-what?" He asked through the mask. "What the hell's happening?!" He tried pulling harder but the mask wouldn't come off. "Rolf, the mask's stuck!"
"Poppycock!" Rolf said as he walked over to Kevin and began pulling on the mask as hard as he could. "OW!" Kevin yelled in pain. "Rolf, that hurts!"
"The mask sticks to your head, like Nana's goose-liver sticks to one's ribs!" Rolf exclaimed. "Rolf asks, where did you find this mask of glue?"
"At some Halloween store." Kevin answered, trying to pull the mask off. "The guy told me not to wear the mask for three hours at a time… I guess I didn't listen…"
"Rolf shall make haste to the store of empty sausages!" Rolf declared as he marched out the door. "Empty sausages?" Kevin repeated, confused.
4:00 PM:
"I can't find it in any of these books!" Double D declared as he approached Eddy, who was examining the plant. "This is so confusing… it must be a new breed or species… incredible…"
"Wait… so nobody's ever seen anything like this before?" Eddy suddenly realized. "That's right, Eddy… you've discovered a new breed of plant…" "CALL THE MEDIA!" Eddy suddenly yelled. He picked up the plant happily. "This little baby will have me rolling in dough!"
"Eddy, for once I agree with you." Double D said as he walked over to the phone. "The scientific community needs to learn about this new plant… wait… maybe we should name it."
"A name? Fine. How about Money?" Eddy asked. "Eddy, we need to name it something more respectable." Double D criticized sternly. "What, like Yolanda II?" Eddy asked mockingly.
"Very funny, Eddy." Double D muttered angrily. "I'm going to call the local news station and tell them about the plant. You, meanwhile, can try to make it grow." Double D walked off calmly.
"Make it grow?" Eddy repeated. "How am I supposed to do that? I'm not a miracle worker!" With a sigh, Eddy walked over to the kitchen counter and reached in. "Maybe there's a cup in here some—OW!"
Eddy pulled his hand out of the drawer and saw that his forefinger was bleeding. "Man… must've pricked it on something…" he muttered. He began sucking on his finger… and stopped.
Eddy turned to face the plant, Money, which had opened up. Eddy walked over to money, confused. He pointed his bleeding finger at Money. "Why'd you open up?" He asked the plant. He pulled his finger away… and the plant closed up.
"No…" Eddy said to himself in disbelief. He brought his bleeding finger closer to the plant and it opened up again. He pulled it away and closed up.
"I guess now I know what you eat…" Eddy muttered in shock. The plant ate blood… that could be dangerous! But… it could also make him rich… as long as he only fed it a little of his blood at a time, everything would be fine.
"Alright… it's suppertime." Eddy said as he held his bleeding finger over Money's open trap and began squeezing it. Drops of blood fell into the plant's mouth. "T-That's all you're getting." Eddy said as he pulled his finger away. "Now, you'd better make me rich!"
5:30 PM:
Rolf angrily grabbed Wesley by the scruff of his shirt. "What madness has overtaken Kevin's face?" He asked angrily. "I gave him specific instructions." Wesley responded calmly. "He chose to break them and he faces the consequences."
"Do not feed Rolf that candied pig spleen!" Rolf said. "Tell Rolf what evils reside in this mask!" "The mask is a monster named Black Blood." Wesley explained, showing no fear whatsoever. "He was turned into a mask long ago and constantly struggles to free himself.
"You see, the more someone wears it the more powerful they feel and the more frightening the mask becomes." Wesley continued. "However, if the victim wears it for three hours straight, the mask will attempt to take over them by draining their soul away and replacing it with Black Blood. The victim then becomes trapped in the mask."
"And you would sell this?" Rolf asked, disgusted. "Just to scare him." Wesley explained matter-of-factly. "I… took some pictures and know just what I should do to scare everyone."
"You confuse the Head of Rolf!" Rolf declared. "Rolf is leaving!" Rolf let go of Wesley and began walking out the door. "You have twenty-four hours until your friend goes into the mask completely." Wesley said as he dusted off his shirt. "I suggest you find a way to get it off of him before midnight."
9:40 PM:
Rolf screamed something in his native language and his cow, who had a length of rope connecting it to Kevin's mask, took off running. Kevin was dragged along and the mask didn't come off.
"Drat… that did not work…" Rolf muttered to himself. "We must try drastic measures to remove the mask of evil from the face of Kevin!" "HELP!" Kevin yelled as the cow dragged him along.
10:00 PM:
Someone opened the door to Sarah's room and walked in, carrying one of Ed's toys. The thing crawled onto Sarah's bed, where Sarah was sleeping with her new doll, Talky Tina. The thing raised the toy up and prepared to slam it into the doll.
"I'm Talky Tina, and I love you very much!" Talky Tina suddenly said. "I'm Slappy, and I don't care!" The toy-wielding dummy retorted. Slappy prepared once again to destroy the doll, when…
"I'm Talky Tina, and I don't think Sarah will like that." Talky Tina said. Slappy put the toy down, confused. "W-What?" He asked.
"That's right, Slappy; I can talk." Talky Tina said, her voice staying in the same, cheerful tone. "I can move, too. And I'm not sure I like you very much."
"You remind me of my ex-wife." Slappy said quietly. He picked up the doll, laughed, and prepared to destroy Talky Tina. "This'll be great!"
"I'm Talky Tina, and if you do that Sarah will make you sorry." Talky Tina said, interrupting Slappy. "Sarah can be very mean if she wants to; if you kill me, she'll think Ed did it and tear apart something he owns… most likely, you."
"Oh, right." Slappy said, laughing. "She'll just rat my slave out to their mom! I'm not afraid of Sarah!"
"I'm Talky Tina, and I'm going to kill you." Talky Tina said suddenly.
Slappy stopped dead in his track, shocked. "W-What?" He asked, confused. "Kill me? You can't be serious!" "I'm Talky Tina, and I'm very serious." The doll responded. "You're just a mean man, picking on an innocent little girl like this." "You obviously haven't known her that l—."
Sarah opened her eyes. Quickly, Slappy fell to the ground limply. "Ed left his stupid dummy on my floor…" Sarah muttered.
11:58 PM:
"Nana's hot grease did not work?" Rolf asked Kevin in shock. Kevin had just spent two-and-a-half hours with his head in a barrel of grease. "No…" Kevin said, seething in pain. "It didn't work, okay?"
"We must hurry!" Rolf declared, looking at a large, grandfather clock. It read 11:59 and twelve seconds. "He who sells cursed items to small children said that we must remove the mask by the clock of twelve!"
"Dude, you just ate up eight seconds!" Kevin declared in fear. "You took up more time!" Rolf argued. "Dude, stop talking and help me!" Kevin yelled in fear.
Rolf grabbed the horns on Kevin's mask and began pulling. Kevin grabbed his pointy ears and pulled. Suddenly, after many seconds, the mask came flying off.
"It… it came off." Kevin said in shock as he looked at the mask Rolf was holding. It had lost all of its features and now resembled a blank, human face.
"How strange…" Rolf said quietly. "Well, let's destroy it." Kevin said, grabbing for the mask. Rolf held it back. "Leave, Kevin; Rolf will dispose of the mask."
Kevin sighed and walked out of the house. Rolf quietly slid the mask into his back pocket. Meanwhile, Kevin happily walked down the street. "My soul wasn't completely put in the mask…" Kevin thought to themselves. "And half of my soul was put in your body… we're two beings in one body… Black Kevin… Black Kevin… agreed."
