Auhtor's Note: And now here's the Anonymous Review Reply.
Fred the Fish- Yeah, I know. But they thought it was very cool. I didn't think to put any slash stuff when I wrote the chapter. But I will show the TF2 guys slash stuff soon. :3 Well, you're about to find out Damien's reaction in this chapter. Thanks for the review.
of bows and arrows- He hasn't seen everything just yet. X3 The TentaSpy is there just because he's scary as he is. Damien takes no offense. Ah, that's cool. I will think about getting MineCraft. Aw, I'm sorry, I hope things will work out for you on your MineCraft. Thanks for the review.
Avada- Thanks for the review. Leon: *frowns*
Animed2Fox- Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that when I wrote the chapter and I forgot to add it when I posted. I promise I will make up for my mistake. (There will be a deleted scene of the last chapter including slashes and the Announcer) Thanks for the review. *quiet laughing is heard* You're not afraid? You'll soon be.
Alright now! Here's the next chapter, everyone! :)
"So anyway, Nicole, thanks for inviting me." Cassie said, sitting on the couch in the living room.
Nicole shrugged as she joined her friend. "Eh, it's nothing. I had nothing planned this afternoon, so I thought it was a good idea to have you over for a bit."
Cassie nodded. "Cool, cool…So what did you want to talk about?"
Nicole thought for a moment. "It's about TF2, sort of…"
Cassie beamed. "IT IS? AWESOME! TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME!"
"Alright, alright, geez, calm down…" Nicole took in a breath. "There's this thing on the internet that disturbed me a little…Okay, there was this Spy…and he had…"
"He had what? No clothes on?"
Nicole frowned, shaking her head. "No…He had tentacles instead of legs…"
Cassie's smile instantly disappeared. "Oh no…you found out, didn't you?"
Nicole nodded. "I guess you know about this one, don't you?"
"Sure do, what you saw is a TentaSpy. He's much worse than the average Spy. He's…well, you know…"
"What? Tell me!" Nicole demanded, pretending not to know what Cassie was talking about.
"There are all sorts of TentaSpies known so far, according to fans. Some eat people, some live in the sewers, some are adorable tiny baby ones. But all, except for the baby ones, are equal opportunists."
Nicole gave Cassie a confused glance. "Huh?"
"I mean that any adult TentaSpy will have affairs any chance they get from what I've seen. And trust me, is it NOT pretty…They pick on mostly on Scouts and Snipers, and maybe a few Engineers based on some pictures that I saw this one time. But that's all I know." Cassie shivered as she finished her sentence. "It is a scary thing to think about, you know?"
"I thought you were scared of Triangle-Head, or whatever that thing was."
"Well, yeah, but TentaSpies are pretty scary too. I wouldn't want to meet one, that's for sure…"
Nicole nodded silently, not wanting add anything unnecessary. She stared blankly at the wall, remembering a pair of golden eyes that belonged to a certain TentaSpy she knew.
"Uh, you alright there, Nicole?"
Nicole looked up. "Hm? Oh yeah, I'm fine." she shook her head and gave Cassie an assuring smile. "I was just dozing off there for a second was all."
"You looked like you've seen a ghost or something…"
Nicole blinked. "I did?"
"Sure did, maybe we better stop talking about TentaSpies. I had this one nightmare with one trying to get me, and it was freaking scary! It still creeps me out just thinking about it…" Cassie frowned, giving Nicole a horrified expression.
Nicole patted Cassie on the back. "It's alright, Cassie, they don't exist. Just like Silent Hill, it's completely made up."
Cassie shrugged. "Well, I guess you are right…But what if-"
"NO 'BUTS', CASSIE! I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S ALL IN THE IMAGINATION! Look, if you want to get a happier and healthier mind, why don't you convince your parents to take you to Disney World or something? It's the place of a million dreams, not a million nightmares. Does that sound good to you?"
Cassie smiled. "That would be great! But I don't want Mickey Mouse to come near me! I bet he's really a Spy!" she suddenly frowned as she continued to panic, "WHAT IF I'M FORCED TO GO TO THE HAUNTED MANSION? PYRAMID HEAD MIGHT BE WAITING INSIDE!"
Nicole sighed, giving herself a face-palm. "Cassie, knock it off…There is no Silent Hill at Disney World, which is kind of like Call of Duty at a day-care. But forget what I'm saying…I have another question to ask."
"Is it TF2 related?" Cassie asked.
Nicole nodded. "Yep."
"Does it involve Spies?"
Nicole nodded again. "Sure does…sort of."
"What is it?"
"Have you heard of Spy Crabs?"
Cassie giggled. "It's originally a taunt that the Spy does, and it's really funny, you should look it up. But most fan art shows a crab like a Spy, you know? Spy Crabs are actually are endangered species, so most people don't shoot them on purpose."
"Oh, that's really interesting, thanks for answering my questions."
"No problem, Nicole." Cassie said as she reached into her pocket and took out her phone. "Hey, look, I have to get going. It was nice chatting with you."
"Where are you going?"
"I have to go with my mom to go shopping for Christmas presents for the whole family." Cassie stood up as she headed for the front door.
"Alright then, have fun." Nicole smiled and waved.
Cassie waved back. "See ya!" she opened the door. "Oh, by the way, have you started playing TF2 yet?"
Nicole shook her head. "Not yet, but I'll play it soon…"
"Come on, Nicole! You must play it soon! Please let me know when you are going to play it!"
Nicole rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, I will."
Cassie narrowed her eyes. "Very well then…" she closed the door behind her after giving Nicole once last cautious glance.
"Sheesh, Cassie is such a spazz. Well, good thing that she answered my questions and told me what she knew…Unfortunately, her opinion on TentaSpies was negative, just as I expected…"
"Expected what?"
Nicole jumped in alarm and fell from the couch as she saw Damien appear right in front of her. "Geez! Can you give me a warning next time you do that?"
The TentaSpy smirked. "Sorry to pop in unannounced, chéri." he teased.
Nicole stood back up, giving Damien a suspicious look. "How long were you here?"
Damien shrugged. "A while, why ask?"
"Did you hear the conversation?" Nicole asked nervously.
"Oui, I did…" Damien frowned, giving her a dark look. "How dare you say that TentaSpies don't exist!" he hissed, "You're foolish! Absolutely foolish for making such a false claim!"
Nicole stepped back, frightened by Damien's rage. "Hey, hey! T-Take it easy! I had to convince my friend to calm down somehow! I lied to her just so I could make her feel better, okay?"
"Oh…you did?" Damien cleared his throat. "My sincere apologies, ma ami…"
"It's alright, I understand how protective you are with you kind, I guess. Just don't yell at me like that…again."
"Why were you even asking those peculiar questions to your friend?" Damien asked, smiling at Nicole.
"W-Well…I just wanted to see what she thought about, you know…"
"What are jou trying to hide? I already know about the Team Fortress thing."
Nicole blinked in surprise. "Really? Wait, were you there when I explained to the RED Team in that invisible cloak?"
Damien nodded. "Of course."
Nicole frowned. "Okay…but anyway, as I was saying…I just wanted my friend's opinion, that's all." she grinned shyly. "Nothing else, I promise you…"
"Were you…concerned for something?"
Nicole quickly shook her head. "Nope, not at all."
"Hm, you don't sound truthful." Damien sneered.
Nicole began to tremble. "Alright, alright! I saw this thing on my computer…and I saw a picture of a BLU version of you! I-I…wasn't expecting that at all. I knew TF2 was real in this time, but TentaSpies…not so much. Even Spy Crabs exist here in the TF2 game!"
"It's about time I got recognized."
"Uh, okay…I guess…"
"What's wrong, squatine? Jou sounding a bit nervous again." Damien said, giving her a concerned look.
"I'm fine…I'm just…er, cold! Yeah! It's starting to freeze up again…" Nicole said, slowly taking steps away from the TentaSpy.
"Is that so? It doesn't feel that way to me."
"Oh! Would you look at the time?" Nicole suddenly shouted, "I have to see if my cat's okay!" she made a run for the stairs.
"Alright then…Maybe I could visit some other time?" Damien suggested.
"Yeah, sure! Sounds good! See ya!" Nicole said as she rushed up the stairs and into her room. Once she leapt into her room, she closed the door behind her and sighed of relief. "That was close…"
A meow was heard as Sally rolled on the bed and curled into a tight ball, purring loudly like any normal day.
"Look, Sally, I didn't want Damien to know too much about how I was feeling, that's all. Besides, I could have sworn that Damien was inching closer to me!" Nicole shivered. "But I'm glad his evil-side is all gone now…I hope…" she sat down by her cat, stroking her fur gently. "You know, you're a good friend, Sally."
Sally continued to purr, stretching her back legs and curling back up again.
Nicole giggled. "Anyway, enough about what just happened…I can't wait for tomorrow. I wonder what Jèrèmie's planning," she asked towards herself. "I just hope it'll work out."
