Toothy-Evil, we're supposed to be on vacation!

Evil-I don't know about you, but I am having an awesome time here.

Toothy-You toppled a South American government, Evil.

Evil-The people have spoken. Vivia la resistance!

Toothy-You pushed the resistance leader into a giant fan.

Evil-He was a traitor and a scoundrel.

Toothy-He was trying to stop you from pushing other people into a giant fan...

Evil-(something foot shaped pops out of his stomach and back in) That was a foot. I must have eaten a whole person.

Toothy-That's the hotel bartender.

Evil-So that's why my mohetai is taking so long.

Toothy-It was horrorfying. Your mouth unhinged like a snake.

Evil-That sounds pretty awesome.

Toothy-I can't go anywhere with you!

Evil-That hurt my feelings. Now we're both in the wrong.

Toothy-That's it, I wanna go home...

Evil-In that case, I should tell you that I filled our bags with orphan meat.

Toothy-What?

Evil-Well, I'm making a meat dragon and not just any meat will do.

Toothy-I'm not even shocked anymore.

Evil-That's no fun.

Toothy-This has become the norm for you.

Evil-Oh, I'll have to try harder next time.

Toothy-Please no...

Evil-I feel like I've been issued a challenge.

Toothy-No, Evil, no.

Evil-It's too late, the damage is done...you...

Toothy-You?

Evil-I've forgotten your name.


Ex-boyfriend!

The party was extravagant. Honey had almost all the main dishes ready. Her Red Snapper Escoveitch was beautifully decorated with red peppers and onions and splashed with vinegar, a wondrous presentation that she made perfect. Honey actually made design panels for the chef's to follow to show how they are supposed to look. "Honey, everyone is almost here, are you read-WOW!" Bonni shrieked once she saw how miraculous the food was. "Roasted Chicken with lemon stuffing…Shrimp Tempura with Japanese vegetables…Gingas Khan Combination…Yakisoba combination…Tendon…and dishes even I can't name!" Bonni gasped. "Honey, Shanni made the right choice hiring you. By the time people leave, they'll be stuffed to their ears!"

"Thank you; now let's serve the plates before the food gets cold." Honey said, rolling her chef coat sleeves down and smiled. "Come on, get those plates and form a single-file line, in alphabetical order!" Honey ordered as they made themselves orderly and picked up their plates.

The seats were packed with people chattering all over the tables. Waiters and waitresses stood far off, ready to serve champagne, wine, and sparkling water (for miners). Splendont was dressed in a black suit with a red bowtie and a red rose in his chest pocket. Tammy was wearing a velvet dress that ended at the top of her thighs and had ruffles at the bottom. She had black spaghetti straps that tied around the back of her neck and purple heels that were at least six inches high (?), and black fishnet stockings, and there were giant x-cross stitching going down to the middle of her dress. "I'm the best looking girl in town, huh, Sweetie?" Splendont nodded and looked around, when should Honey be here?

"Well hello there, Tammy…nice…hair…" Shanni came up wearing a white silk dress with a black sash and black scarf with black Mary Jane shoes (ugh, hate those, but they match with her). "It's nice you've come here to…support the school…I hope we don't have a repeat of last year with Tomcat Cruise, now will we?" Shanni gave her an evil eye and Tammy scoffed.

"Puh-leeze, I have a boyfriend now. This is Splendont." She said this as she had her hand on her chest.

"Well…you look kind of like Splendid-neekun…" Shanni changed her expression just for Splendont. Honey was looking for Shanni and found her, not noticing Splendont was right there. His eyes widened when he saw her stomach.

"Shanni-chan, I need you to taste the new sauce for the sushi…"

"Sure, in a second…have you met Splendont, I haven't seen him around." Honey's eyes widened and she stared straight at Splendont, who stared just at her. It felt like the air froze her skin and his. She slowly walked away and disappeared into the crowd. "Well…that was weird…she usually at least acknowledges you and goes into a small conversation…"

"Maybe Tammy's bad coordination with her dress and form scared her and her fetus." Bonni came in with a low v-neck evening dress with a cross back, it was red…Bonni looked smoking in red. She had Akira on her hip in a little baby black tux with a fake corsage of red roses. Her hair was in a high pony tail.

"Err…so she's pregnant, how many months?"

"She's due anytime now…" Splendont wondered who…who could she have met in that short of time…he felt his heart break into a million pieces. He would have never settled until he knew. He saw where the dishes were being served and discreetly snuck into the kitchen. Honey was the only one there.

"Calm down, Honey, you don't need to be anywhere near him…"

"Why, didn't you miss me?" Splendont asked, coming up behind her. The hurt was very eminent in both their eyes. "…So…uhhh…" She looked at him. "Congratulations…" He couldn't tear his eyes away.

"…Why are you here?" Honey asked. She didn't want to thank him.

"I was looking for you." He took hold of her and held her. "Is this where you've been? I've been looking for you all over."

"Well, you shouldn't have wasted your time." She growled, wriggling out of his grasp. "Now, why are you here?"

"I came to take you home. Who knows what could happen out here?"

"Besides meeting my doom almost everyday and coming back?" He looked at her. "Yeah, I've lived her for about seven months now; I think I would know…" Splendont looked at her stomach.

"Who's the father?" He asked quietly. The question was burning him inside. Honey's cold expression melted when she glanced down at her bulging stomach. Her baby was in there…their baby was in her…and Splendont didn't even know…he couldn't add the numbers up. She left him nine months ago; it's almost her tenth month. He found her and she was full to bursting, is it that hard to figure out? "Who is the father?" He repeated when she didn't answer. "How long have you known him? When did you meet him? Did he take you here? And is he actually that better then me?" Splendont asked, holding her.

"You're the father, you dolt!" Honey shouted at him. "You didn't get it? I left nine months ago because you wouldn't have wanted her!"

"It's…a girl…" Splendont's eyes widened.

"You told your friend that if I was pregnant, you would ask me to go through an abortion…I thought that if I was pregnant, you would stop cheating on me! I thought you would come home…and be with me…and help me take care of our daughter…but that was a lie, wasn't it?" Honey's eyes were tearing up. "Wasn't it?" She screamed at him when he didn't answer. "…I'm afraid that someone will hurt her like you hurt me…but, I've been doing fine on my own, without you…"

"But I'm not fine without you…" Honey looked at him. "Honey, I came all this way looking for you. I was worried someone might hurt you more then I have…you don't know what kind of world this can be, Honey…you won't be able to raise that baby without a dad and I'm here now, so let me do it. I gave it to you."

"I have a couple guys who want to be the dad."

"Do they know how to hold you?" Splendont asked, wrapping his arms around her and nuzzling her neck. "Do they know what your favorite flowers are? Or that you like your tea to be extra sweet? Do they know that on rainy days, you like to watch I Love Lucy reruns with a big bowl of popcorn in those cute little pajamas and bunny slippers? Or when you're on your cycle, you like to watch soap operas that always end in tears?" Honey didn't move. "What about how you're afraid of lightening and do they hold you when you start crying? How about your love for cute little Japanese takoyaki balls from those supermarkets in Osaka? I flew all the way to get you those, remember?"

"That's when I thought you loved me."

"So, you're telling me there's no way you'll take me back…?" Honey nodded. "Remember…it was you who said everyone deserves another chance?" Honey looked at him.

"…I gave you two chances already…you'll have to work hard for this next chance…you'd better get back to Tammy, Splendont-san. I don't want her causing a ruckus about me glomping her boyfriend at my shop later." Splendont felt his heart begin to break. He turned her back around and kissed her, hard. Honey lost all thought and wrapped her arms around his neck before he released.

"I'm gonna work hard for that next chance, Honey…I'll show you that I can change…and then I'll help you take care of yourself and our baby." Splendont let go and left the kitchen, leaving Honey a little more broken then before.


Toothy-How can you've forgotten my name? We've known each other forever!

Evil-And what an impression you've made.

Toothy-My name is Toothy.

Evil-What?

Toothy-I said my name is Toothy.

Evil-Oh...I thought you were a woman.

Toothy-Why would you think that?

Evil-Oh, the voice and the hat. Are you sure you're a guy?

Toothy-Of course I'm sure!

Evil-Well, then, I have to delete some photos from my computer.
