GW: Now that 'Deadly Sins' is done, I'll finish up my two parodies before doing anything else. Now then, enjoy the chapter.

Winter's Death

The gang was sitting in a dark movie theater, watching Dr. Drakken trying to get Kim and Ron as they foil his plot.

"I'll get you, Kim Possible!" Drakken yelled as he and a bored-looking Shego are swallowed by the green substance as Kim, Ron, and Rufus look triumphant.

"Go KP!" Mion cheered. They were all sitting at the top balcony of the seats.

"Yeah, no matter how Drakken tries, he can never stop Kim," Kira smiled as she and Calvin shared some popcorn.

"It was really nice of that angel girl to let us hide here," Hobbes commented. "Sure, since Winter died, Eraine took over being in the theater business and she helps me out now and then," GW shrugged.

"This is great. I never actually seen a movie on the big screen before," Mion said excitedly. Suddenly, an annoyed GW grabbed Mion by the ponytail and pulled it harshly. "OW! What was that for!?"

"Would you keep it down!?" Glowworm hissed. "We're supposed to be hiding and you're acting up so the world knows you're here. Don't you have any sense in that green-head of yours?"

"Glowworm, stop acting like Walter; no one is caring about us, so no biggie," MB shrugged with a frown.

"Yeah, you do act like a grumpy old man," Mion noted. "Not once have I ever seen you laugh." Mion then took a mallet out of nowhere and bludgeoned Calvin on the head. Kira and Hobbes laughed while the rest just rolled their eyes. GW just stared blankly.

"OW! That hurt!" Calvin growled as he rubbed his aching head.

"See? Not even a smirk. What happened to the fun-loving girl that I heard so much about?"

"I don't want to talk about it," GW sighed. "Oh, come on, wolfie," Jane said. "Mr. O'Neil always says talking about how you're feeling relieves stress."

"If I have to hear that man's name one more time, I'm going to be violently ill," Daria groaned.

GW sighed. "Fine. My friend Winter was killed by a toon."

"No!" Mion gasped. She couldn't believe a toon would do that.

"Well, it's true," Glowworm began her story. "Winter and I had a detective business, where we would help toons and people alike. We did it mostly for kicks and for fun. One day, there was a robbery at the First National by some weirdo. We chased the creep all the way to the Shrieking Shack. We thought we were ready for anything, but he was ready first. He caught us off guard by an anvil surprise attack. I managed to get a broken leg and wound up in the hospital. Winter…wasn't as lucky. All I could remember of the guy who did it before passing out was him standing over me, laughing like a manic, those yellow feral eyes, and that sinister smile of his."

"Did you ever catch him?" Mion asked.

"No, he escaped into ToonCity and I never saw him again," GW said quietly. "The police searched for him, but they gave up after a few days of looking. After that, I began disliking toons, except for the friends I have now, of course. My life wasn't the only one ruined by this tragedy. Winter's boyfriend, Ben Devlin, went into a depression and disappeared. Not only that, but my relationship with Tas was shattered and I took up drinking soda. I won't lie, I used to love helping toons, but after this, I can't go back to where I was before."

"No wonder you were always mad at me!" Mion said as she started to cry loudly. "If someone did that, I'd hate them myself!"

"SHUT UP!" the audience, tired of hearing the noise back there, shouted.

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" Feral shouted back as GW tried claming Mion down. "I don't hate you, Mion."

"Then why are you always snapping at me and pulling my hair?" Mion sniffed.

"Look, I don't hate you, and I'm sorry for always being mean to you."

"Really?" Mion sniffed hopefully.

"You got it," GW smiled a bit. "See, Mion. Once you get to know my sister better, she's actually a very nice person," MB smiled.

"Wolfie, you shouldn't hold a vendetta against all toons just because of one toon's actions," Daria explained. "Sure, there's some who would hurt people every now and then, but not all of them are bad."

"Yeah, if you let the murderous creep get to you, he'll be winning," Jane nodded in agreement.

Glowworm paused to think about her friend's words. "You're right. I shouldn't let someone like that get to me! I'm going to let go of the past and redefine me!"

"You can do it!" Kira and Calvin cheered as Kira did the pose that was on the WWII posters of that woman.

Just then the screen changed as the news came on. "Bah, the news! I hate the news!" Calvin and Kira griped. "I find it very informative," Hobbes joked, trying to get to Calvin.

Just then, three people slid into the seats next to GW. "Hey, Tas," GW nodded to her friends. She had made a private call to him to collect some of her and her pals' things. It looked like she and her friends were going to be on the run for a while.

"Yep, we put the bags in the taxi owned by that dead-beat and perm-headed guy," Tas nodded.

"We would've been here earlier, but we had to drive off those Arrancar jerks," Catarina said angrily. "Polly says I would've kicked their butts if Electra and Tas didn't get in my way."

"Cat, they would've torn you up alive if we didn't step in," Electra sighed.

There was an awkward pause until GW broke the silence by saying to Tas, "What happened at the café…I'm sorry…"

"Forget about it," he said. "It was a dead-end job anyway. I want to get a real job for once, like a man of action or something."

GW laughed a bit. "Maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend."

"I already have a girlfriend," Tas smiled softly, making the hybrid blush. The two leaned in as they were about to kiss when Tas' sisters, Mion, and the rest sighed, "Aww…"

The two teens looked to see a grossed-out Calvin, Catarina, and Kira, a smiling Mion, Electra, Hobbes, and Feral while Daria and Jane just smirked.

"Don't mind us," Mion said with a smile. "You just go ahead and kiss away, lovebirds."

"Have you heard of a little thing called privacy?" GW scoffed. "No, and neither did our principal," Jane chuckled a bit.

"You all had better get going," Electra said nervously. She knew that it was only a matter of time before the Arrancars would find them here. The group got out of their seats and headed to the exit.

"So what now, Glowworm?" Monkeyboy asked. "I don't know. I don't have anymore leads," GW said in frustration. "I know Egghead has something to do with this, but what?"

At that moment, the man on the news said, "In other news, Toon Corp. is at it again. Not only did they buy a tram station/café in town, but they also bought the Eggman Cartoon studios, which was going into financial trouble lately."

Then, it hit GW like a ton of bricks. "That's it!"

"What are you screaming about?" Hobbes asked puzzled.

"Eggman's business was in trouble. There's the connection! I think it's time we speak with Eggy himself. Let's go."

"There she goes," MB sighed, but was glad his sister looked more positive now. "Tas, forget this conversation ever happened," GW told the boy and his sisters as the gang got outside and everyone except Tas, his sisters, and GW got in the taxi with Gin and Hasegawa in the two front seats.

"Sorry, I have a good memory," Tas joked. "Well, if you see those Arrancars or Olaf again, mislead them or something."

She gave Tas a peck on the cheek before getting in the cab. As the cab drove off, Tas said quietly, "Be careful, Glowworm."

"Oh, Tas and Wolfie, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Catarina laughed as Electra smiled at her brother.

"Cat?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up," her brother murmured as he and sisters got in the car they brought to get to the theater and drove off.

GW: So, we've got a lead!

Calvin: And you're not that bitter and you're liking Tas again!

GW: Whatever. Read and review!
