Episode XXXIV: Explanations
Recap: Sarah disappeared in a red light after kissing Billie. She has a scar on her thumb and only Steph seems to know what happened.
But what DID happen? Read on to find out!
"Sarah!" Billie screamed, running to the place she had been standing only moments before. Then he rounded on Steph. "Where is she? Tell me or I'll –"
Jack stood in front of Steph. "Mate, leave her out of this, it's got nothing to do with her."
"I wouldn't say nothing," Steph said, nudging Jack aside. "I know what's happened to her."
"Tell me!" growled Billie, stepping forward before Jack glared at him.
"It started ages ago, when Sarah's last boyfriend cheated on her. She walked in on him and one of her closest friends in her closet. She and I decided that revenge was the only way to make her feel better. So we hunted the guy down and punished him in the usual way."
It turned out that Billie and Jack did not know the 'usual way', judging by their confused looks.
"You know, we beat him up. Gave him a few scars to remember us by… it's not like he would get arrested or anything. Like he would admit that he got beaten up by his ex and her sister."
"Hell hath no fury to a woman scorned," muttered Jack.
Steph grinned at him and continued the story. "Anyway, I thought that Sarah would get over it, but she didn't. Instead, she devised a plan to make sure that she would never fall in love again. She went and started bugging one of Hell's demons. You know, insulting him and that. He called her Insolent Child. Sarah kept on bugging him and that until he was mad enough to kill her.
"A demon can't just up and take your life, you see. He's only a demon. But if you SAY that he can take your life, then he can. So Sarah made a deal. She said that if she ever fell in love again, and proved it through a kiss, then within six hours, the demon could come and collect her life.
"The plan was that now she'd never have to live through the hurt that her ex caused her again. She'd be killed as soon as she fell in love. She sealed the deal by signing the contract with the blood from her thumb. The scar on her thumb would become visible if the demon was now free to kill her."
As Steph finished her story, Billie and Jack stared at her for a few seconds.
Then Billie said…
Ooooh… what did Billie say? Will they be able to get her back? What does the flubber parrot and Dory have to do with any of this? Will the Slushie Man come back?
Stay tuned for the next episode to find out!
