It's a miracle, people; I FOUND MY INSPIRATION :D :3!

Hugs for everyone! *hugs reviewers*
Now to reply to my anonymous reviewers and then we'll start chapter 20! :D :3
Geass Qween; Geez, why do people think it's so awesome for someone to have their story edited by me? XD Am I that popular? Heh, glad to know you're happy about your theory being right. :) Oh, and thanks for reading my other story. Makes me feel happy someon's willing to read my other stories, especially if the genre's something new. :3
Alyssa; To be honest, I thought Alyssa was your real name. Guess I was wrong! ^-^" And you shouldn't feel like an ass after your last review. You just felt sorry for me... and you maybe also felt like strangling the pretty-boy. XP Glad to know you're feeling better, and you could celebrate by reading this chapter! :D :3
skatergirl; It's strange, but ever since I wrote out my feelings in the author's note, I felt a little better and learned that I should just forget and move on. Thanks for the support, by the way. :)
Animeniac; Alright, what I mean by "account" is you need to be a member of FanFiction in order to send messages to people, write your stories, and add stories and authors to your favorites. It's alright about not taking my offer right now. I can wait until you're ready. And to everyone, I will be more than thrilled to edit anybody's story if they ask. Don't be afraid to ask me! Uh, continuing Animeniac's review; thanks for reviewing, and yea; I'm not gonna let a pretty boy keep me down.
Anime Fan Star; ? I'm awesome? O.O I never really thought about myself like that, so uh, thanks. ^-^" And as for the pretty-boy player, I'm over him. *throws dart at his picture* Sort of.. :P Heh, yeah. Your review got me thinking about how to rewrite one of the last chapters, and now I got a good idea. It should be in... around chapter 23. I'm glad you look forward to it. :)
Whew! And to think that I might get more anonymous reviews to answer!
So what's in this chapter?
A twist and a surprise in one! :D :3
Read and review please!
DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN HHAW!
Friendship: An Unlikely Love Story
Chapter Twenty
The councilmen sped walk in town, searching for a cloaked figure. Chairman Vonfrood was determined to find the human, no matter the circumstances. They past through crowds, looking at everyone's faces. Vonfrood's eye caught something; there was a hooded figure walking a couple of feet ahead.
"There it is!" He told the councilmen.
They walked a little faster to the figure. When "it"saw them, it ran. This made the men run after the human. The human jumps on a trashcan and rolls away. Vonfrood growls.
"How dare you litter?" He yelled.
The cloaked figure jumped off the trash bin before crashing into a cart and run into a crowd. Two of the councilmen crash into the cart, but the rest sprint into the crowd. They push past citizens, trying not to lose sight of it. They get out of te crowd, baffled to find out they lost their target. Out of the blue, a whistle was heard and one of the councilmen who got hurt earlier pointed up.
"It's up there!"
The men look on the roofs to see it running away. Vonfrood narrowed his eyes at the intruder and looked at the councilmen.
"Surround it! Get it from the other side!"
The fugitive saw two men up ahead, ready to jump it. The fugitive ran faster and then slid between their legs. The men look at each other dumbfounded and look back at to see their target escaping. The creature came to a sudden stop, realizing the men had surrounded it. All of them, including Vonfrood, gave the trespasser a sinister grin.
"JUMP IT!" The chairman exclaimed.
Once the councilmen leaped, the fugitive got on the ground and rolled away. It took them a couple of minutes to realize their target was gone. This did not help the leader's anger.
"I WANT THAT MONSTER CAUGHT!"
The fugitive laughed, to distracted to realize the building in front of it. It crashed into the wall of the building, and fell on it's back. Before the figure could get up, two other men held it down. Vonfrood got on his knee and gave the struggling figure a sinister smirk.
"Time to reveal your identity."
He shoved the hood of the cloak back and the men gasped.
"WHAT?" The lime colored Who exclaimed.
It wasn't a human. It was a Who. And guess whom that Who was?
Brandon.*
*(You didn't really think Mari did all those stunts, did you?)
"Aaw... now I'm going to be late for the Whodevial Convention!" He complained.
"What is the meaning of this?" The leader demanded. "That citizen said the human was in a cloak!"
"There's a human here?" Brandon asked, trying to act surprised.
The chairman was about to tell the men to let Brandon go, but he realized something.
"That face... and all those stunts... They're awfully familiar..."
After some thinking, Vonfrood recognized another thing.
"You work at that carpet store... Brandon McCoy! That's your name! Weren't your parents... Jacques and Anne McCoy?"
Brandon didn't like where this was going.
"Why do you ask?" He narrowed his eyes.
"If memory serves right... they were Whoville's wanted Whos."
The black and brown stripped Who felt his blood boil.
"Jacques was a thief magician, I believe." He continued. "Well known for stealing citizen's jewels and precious things, hosting magic shows, but was always impossible to capture. Anne was a gypsy, using her witchcraft to get money and to escape us. They wed later, and then-"
"And then I came along." Jojo's cousin interrupted. "They did everything and anything they could to help raise me, but you took them away from me! I used my dad's stealth and my mom's agility to claw, grab, snatch anything I could get to take care of myself at the age of six. My parents did the same just to have enough money to have a roof over their head, their bellies full, nand to run the carpet store. They didn't hurt anybody, but you didn't care! Your so-called 'exile' of my parents turned into an execution! I don't care what the Whostery books say! You guys are the monsters; not Mari!"
The orphan couldn't believe what he just said. He bit his lip, hoping the councilmen didn't hear what he meant by "Mari". But judging by the crooked smiles they wore, they understood it crystal clear.
"Mari...?" The leader repeated. "That must be the human's name."
Vonfrood grasped Brandon's collar so they would meet nose-to-nose.
"Where are you hiding here?"
"I'll never tell you."
The man slapped Brandon across the face.
"You will tell me where she is." He warned. "Or we will arrest you for your previous thefts and burn down your precious store."
That Chairman Vonfrood can be a real cruel Who, can he?
You guys weren't expecting Brandon's to be like that, did you? ;3
So what do you guys think; will Brandon tell the councilmen where Mari is?
Or will he sacrifice himself just to save someone he's still getting to know?
And where are Mari and Jojo?
All these questions to be revealed next chapter! :D :3
Thank you all once again for reviewing, and for taking the time to read this.
I gotta do something special for you guys, but I don't know what.
I'll think about it.
Happy Valentine's Day and see you in chapter 21! :D :) :3
