A/N: My deepest apologies to all my readers for not updating sooner. You know that lazy feeling you get when you know you have to do something, but you just can't seem to find time in the day to do it? I'm not going to procrastinate any more! ...Until tomorrow.
Anyway, this is going to be the last chapter. I can't seem to find a way to continue, and frankly, I'm just writing on nothing. I've decided to not add Nny, because I can't seem to find a way to add him, and right now, I don't want to. The only reason I'm updating now is because my step-brother is over and he's bringing a friend along. But I will most likely write another story, whether it be a chapter story or not, I don't know. But hey, this was fun, and I'm finally finishing something. Maybe I'll bother doing my Harry Potter or X-Men: Evolution stories next. Ha. I think not.
Well, I don't want to be sued by anyone… But if they steal my pigeons… They suffer my pokey wrath: I own nothing. NOTHING! But one day, I shall rule all the pigeons! Mwahahaha, I shall be the pigeon queen! Or king! I haven't decided yet.
Warning: Merlin above knows why I'm writing this. But, fuck, some people can be so, er, stupid. Heh, I made someone cry by saying that have a fat mouth….Anyway, this contains femme-slash. I'm thinking this should be rated 'R', but I'm gonna try and avoid going into any details, and maybe, just maybe, people will be mature enough to realise that same-sex relationships are a fact of life. I, myself, am bisexual, and more than half my friends are mature enough to realise I am attracted to none of them, so maybe society can grow up to and realise there's nothing wrong with them? Hm? I love to ramble and bitch!
There had been no passionate lovemaking, and there had been no more romantic interludes. After Tenna had originally kissed Devi, there had been a slight bit of tension in the air, before another, final kiss that was longer than the first, but that had been it. Devi had to admit, although she was still rather flustered and still a bit red in the cheeks, Tenna had made her feel a lot calmer. They both now laid on top of the hood of the car, a blanket which Tenna had found in the back seat wrapped around them both, their clothes laid on the roof, ready for them to place them on. The glow of the moon shone down upon them, yet Devi was still unable to see the features upon her friends' face. Her eyes just seeming to be empty sockets, and her mouth just a line across the lower part of the black lump that was her face, like a strip of gaffer tape across a teddy bear. Devi suspected that if Tenna looked over at her, her features would be the same, just upon a lighter shade of blubber.
Emitting a yawn, she rolled onto her side, pulling the blanket across her expose backside. Resting her head upon the heel of her palm, which she had propped up, by resting her elbow upon the car hood, she watched Tenna gaze at the sky. Finally, she seemed to have noticed the other woman looking at her, and turned to look back at her.
'Thanks for tonight, Tenna.' Devi whispered quietly, running her fingers through her purple hair. 'It… really meant a lot to me. To know that you're here for me… I didn't mean to sound so corny… Did I sound corny?'
Tenna gave a slight grin, before replying back in the same, hushed tone. 'Yes, you did sound corny, but it wasn't bad. I know you meant it.'
Devi gave a short laugh, before lazing back against the car, her shoulders shaking against the cold metal. After a few minutes of stargazing, she sat back up, and reached behind her. Grabbing her clothes, she busied herself by placing them on. Tenna soon followed suit without a word. As they slid off bonnet of the car, Devi felt a lump in her right pocket. Looking down, she reached in, and grabbed the skeleton squeaky toy that was Spooky. Opening the car door, and flopping inside, she gave the toy a squeeze, which alerted Tenna as she threw the pale blue blanket in the back seat.
'Spooky? What were you doing in Devi's pants?' Tenna asked, in the tone she only used to speak to the doll. Handing the doll over, Devi shrugged, and slipped her seat belt on.
'I found him in there… I must have placed Spooky in there when you were driving and I need two hands to hold onto my life with.'
Tenna snorted once, and Devi just had to guess that she was too tired to give a full laugh. Devi, herself, was quite sleepy, being as it was almost one in the morning, and she did like to have at least half a nights sleep. Watching quietly as Tenna pulled her seat belt on, Spooky clutched in her left hand. Devi had no idea what was going on in Tenna's mind- she had never seen her so quiet or so expressionless for a long time- not that Tenna was constantly happy. She had seen the black girl break down in tears when her puppy died. She had seen her scream with horror during The Ring. And she had seen Tenna fight back when Devi and her had an argument outside Eat or Die. But it was a rare occasion when Tenna just sat, saying nothing and to the best extent of doing nothing. So for Devi, this was like seeing the pyramids, or the Great Wall of China.
After two minutes of sitting like that, though, Devi was about to grow bored. Thankfully, Tenna made a movie.
'Here…' she whispered quietly, handing the skeleton doll over.
'What do I need this for?' Devi replied. For some reason, the doll reminded her of Sickness.
Tenna shrugged, and pulled the car out of park, and began to reverse onto the road which wound up to the lake they had previously been swimming in. 'I just feel you might need Spooky. That's all.' She grinned, and Devi felt a somewhat sense of relief. A grinning Tonja was a normal Tonja. Taking the squeaky toy, Devi fought down a chuckle. It had been a long time that she thought about her friend by her real name- Tonja. She had known her as Tenna for a long time, and it seemed foreign to think of her as anything else.
Holding Spooky against her chest, she felt a sense of sudden passion for Tenna. Passion only a friend could create. It wasn't lust and it wasn't love. But a mix of both. The love for her friend and the lust of wanting someone that would want to eat her brains or mangle her in a twisted way to keep the love they felt for each other alive. And Tenna could create that, but Devi knew they wouldn't be together; creating a friendship into a romantic relationship would be too hard, and Devi didn't want that. She wanted a friend, and Tenna was her friend. So to have Spooky, even if it was for a short period of time, just sparked that passion even further, even though she hated the doll. It showed Devi how much Tenna honestly cared for her. Tenna loved that doll so much, and Devi could only guess why, and Tenna was never separated from it for longer than two days. She went out without it, yes, but Devi could tell that right now, Spooky was what proved Tenna's love of Devi having a friend to her meant.
'Thanks, Tenna. Means a lot.'
Tenna grinned, spun the car around, and soon they were both driving home, neither of them speaking, but they both knew they didn't have to.
A/N: Yay! I finished something! I grin like a crazy bugger. I really liked the way this ended. I didn't mean it to, but I just can't see both of them staying together for a long time in a romantic relationship. I do love Devi/Tenna fics, and I do wish they were together, and I could see it happening, but I feel this, for me, was a nice way to end it.
By the way, I don't think Spooky would be like Sickness or the Doughboys. Spooky is… spooky. That's what Spooky is to me, anyway.
Well, I hope you liked reading this crazy fic of mine. I finished it, yay! Well, gimme your reviews (please), and maybe one day I'll squeeze another one out of mine.
Shit, that sounded dirty.
