A young woman stood in the middle of a room. Paints, drawings . . . all scattered about her. Her red-violet hair placed neatly into two horn- like pigtails. Those bright green orbs that had a contrast to her pale skin staring at a large piece of paper before her. She blinked, and took out a paintbrush, dipping it in her ivory black colour; she smeared it across the page. And yet again she stare. "Hm . . . Maybe if I did this," and she created yet another smear. Followed by several others. She was just about to finish the painting when -

"Hey Devi!" Yet another young girl flung the door open. But this one's hair was short, and soft brown and her skin a slight mocha colour to it. In her hand her gripped a strange object, was it, a skeleton toy? Squeek! "Ooh! Spooky says 'hi' too! Say hi again Spooky I don't think she heard you!" Squeek! Squeek! Squeek!

The woman, Devi, turned around slowly. Her left true green eye twitching, ever so slightly. "

Oh . . .hello there, Tenna." She gritted her teeth, and ground them together. Trying to ignore that awful squeaking. She slowly turned back to her painting, clutching those fists, trying to remain calm. 'Must. . . control . . . fists of . . . death!' she thought bitterly to herself, stressing on each Squeak.

"Hey! What about Spooky? You never said hey to Spooky!" Squeek! Tenna said, followed by an indignant squeak from Spooky. She scuttled over to her friend, and leaned over her shoulder, and stared at her art. "Oooh. You know what Devi? You should -"

"Gah! I know! I know!" She scowled up at Tenna; " I should 'get out more'." Her shoulders slumped. 'And for once,' she thought dryly 'Tenna just might be right. I do need to get out. But what if. . . No, he wouldn't.' She added. Remembering the one that led her to this life of staying inside. Nny.

Ah yes, Nny. They were almost meant to be. But then he had to go and try to kill her. And that was a major turn off for her. Well, it was a major turn off for most people, well, at least normal people. And Nny certainly wasn't what one could consider 'normal'. But still, they were almost meant to be. If only he hadn't . . .

". . . And so then I said, yeah! Why not! And he said he was happy to here that, well, I'm not sure if 'happy' was his exact word. But it was somewhere along those lines! So what do you think Devi? Devi?" Squeek? Tenna had been rambling the entire time Devi's mind was on Nny it seemed. And not knowing what she was expected to say, agreeing with Tenna was always a safe choice.

"Yeah sure, sounds, great." She blinked, still not knowing what she had agreed to.

"Yay!" Squeek! "That's great to hear Devi! I really wasn't expecting you to agree, you know. But you did! Oh that's wonderful, Devi! It really is!" Tenna jumped up and down, blissfully squeaking Spooky, her short brown locks bouncing up and down as she jumped.

Devi stared at her 'lost cause' of a friend, and sighed. She really wondered what went on within the mind of Tenna. She really did.



Little Todd (or Squee) Casil, sat at his desk at school, thinking of how Nny would make his wish come true. While he sat there and thought, he drew a picture of his family all together as one. All of them happy. Squee looked down at it and smiled, writing underneath it 'My Happy Family'. He carefully folded up the picture, and put it quietly into his backpack, so as to not disturb Miss Bitters from her lecture about how the school was lousy, and so were they. She seemed to like complaining about them. The bell had already several minutes by now, but the bitter teacher was still complaining savagely about them. But Squee didn't care. His birthday was almost there, and he couldn't wait.

". . . Now get out of my sight you little, things!" Miss Bitters squawked at them, and in a mad rush the children all raced to the exit.

When Squee wondered outside, he found the most startling discovery, Nny was outside waiting for him. Squee gasped, and then gaped at him. Never before had the Crazy Next-door man ever done that! Maybe this was all part of his birthday present from him! He smiled at the wonderful thought. So Nny had down it after all! He would make his family happy!

Well, this wasn't the real reason Nny was there. Nny had come there to break the sad, sad news to little Squee, that his birthday wish couldn't come true. "Squeegee," he started heavily, regretting to have ever promised that terrible wish to be granted, "I've got to tell you something really important. You see, it's about that wish you made. And I. . ."

"So it's going to come true after all?! That's great Crazy Next-door man!" And the little boy rushed to embrace his legs. Nny looked down at the clinging child that was Squee.

'Sheesh he even has that lying slip of a bear at school. Poor kid, he must get picked on a lot,' Nny thought, pitying Squee. "Well, uh, Yeah! Of course your wish is going to come true! But it's going to be a little different you know. Ok?" Damnit! Yet again, he just could not say 'no' to the kid. 'What's wrong with me? Why can't I tell him no? I need a cherry fizz-whiz.'

"Hey ,uh, Squeegee," he said lightly, still cursing himself for doing that, "How about we stop at a 24/7 and get some cherry fizz-whizzes? How'd you like that, kid?" He looked at Squee, trying to sound friendly.

And to his surprise, the little child nodded, "Yeah! Ok! But lemme ask Shmee first . . ." Squee looked at Shmee, and muttered several things, giggling every once and a while before looking up suspiciously at Nny, "Shmee says your up to something . . . What?" He looked up, and blinked, a little nervously. He had been hoping Shmee wouldn't have said that. But it seemed even when trying to be truthful, Nny still had something on his mind. Oh well, at least for once Shmee didn't say Nny was a 'bad person'. That had to be a good sign.

"I'm up to nothing, the bear lies I tell you! LIES!" He glared coldly at the ever-grinning bear, and scowled at him. Stupid bear. "Well, let's get going!" To his (and Squee's) surprise, he took Squee's hand, and walked with him towards the nearest 24/7. Ah, he could taste that Cherry fizz-whiz now. And then he remembered something. . .

"Um, sorry, kid. I forget I had something planned to do! It took you so long to get out of that school of yours I almost forgot! But hey, don't give me that look. I'll drop you off at your house, is that all right with you, Squee?"

Squee looked up at Nny, looking rather crestfallen. He sighed, "Yeah, it's OK. But my wish is still coming true, right?" He still had that hopeful look on his face.

"Hey, I said it was coming true. And it's coming true! You can count on me to get the job done, Squee!" He grinned down at the kid, and began to take the long walk home, well, at least to Squee's home. House 779.

"Crazy Next-Next man," Squee started looking up at Nny, those orbs still so large, "Thank you for promising you'll make my family hug me just once like they mean it." The little boy looked at Nny, those eyes sparkling with happiness. "I thought you wouldn't keep your promise, Shmee said you wouldn't anyway. Oh well. . . Thank you again!"

Squee turned, and walked up into his house, only to be greeted by his hateful father. Squee turned around and gave one last look of hope to Nny. He was counting on Nny to make it happen.

Nny saw that look, and shook his head. How would he make this happen? How?



"We're almost hereeeeeeee!" Tenna announced brightly, as she drove about, not paying attention to where she drove. "And keep that blindfold on! You'll ruin the surprise if you take it off too early! You got that?!" Squeek?! She commanded Devi heavily, with Spooky to back her up. As always.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you should stop watching the road! Look where you're driving! If you drive us off a cliff Tenna, I swear -"

"Oh hush, we're almost there as I said before. . . Right Spooky?" Squeek! "See, Spooky knows we're almost there too! So hush Devi." And she made a sharp turn, almost crashing the car into a tree.

Devi's fingers had long since turned white from gripping tightly onto the seat of the car, she had her seat belt on, but when Tenna was driving, who could be sure? "Just watch he road, willya? I don't want to die tonight before I find out this 'big surprise'!" She scowled bitterly, leave it to Tenna to make things confusing. "Hey, where are we going anyway?"

Tenna heaved a huge sigh, and Spooky a squeak, "If I told you then we wouldn't need the blindfolds now would we?" Swerve.

'Uh.this is gonna be some looong night,' Devi thought sulkily to herself. But something about the place where she was seemed so, familiar. Where was she?

But then the car swerved off the road, crashing into a tree, luckily neither Tenna nor Devi were hurt. Or Spooky at that.

"Ooh, that's bad. We should find the nearest store and get a tow truck. C'mon Devi, let's look for a 24/7. Those things are always open." Tenna said brightly, and abandoned the car. She really had to intention of getting it fixed; she would just call up a ride. But they still needed to get to that store.



Nny dropped Squee off at his house, and then raced back down to 24/7, he forget he only had enough money for him to get a cherry fizz-whiz. She raced into the shop, and looked about for the machine, and then he saw the most hideous side ever. . . A huge sign reading OUT OF ORDER (so go away!!)

Nny gasped in shock, and stumbled slightly, no! No it couldn't be! Not out of fizz-whiz. Not. . . now! He raced up to the man at the country, discovered it to be a rather large fat woman with several chins and dimples. "Excuse me ma'am, but why is you fizz-whiz machine, " He gulped, and forced the dreaded words out, " Out of. . . order?"

The large woman snorted, and licked her over painted shocking pink lips, "'Cause it's broken, that's why. Now git!"

Nny gasped, "Please! You must have some!" He grabbed the woman's shirt collar and shook her, his eyes bulging slightly, "Give it to meeee!"

"Git yore hands off meh yew pervert!" And the woman smacked him off. A foolish mistake.

Nny felt the hit, it wasn't hard, but to him, it felt like he'd been hit by a truck, He took out a switch blade suddenly from his boot, and held it up, staring at her, those eyes, glaring hatefully at her. "What . . . did you . . . just do?!" He charged at her, she never had a chance. The blade was through her in a flash, in and out, the woman fell forward, dead.

The door opened suddenly, and Nny turned around holding up the bloody knife and uttered a soft gasp. It was her. . .

"Devi?!"



Dun dun dun! Sorry you guys, I really didn't mean to have Devi in there, it's supposed to be a Nny and Squee fic. And it still is, well, it'll make way more sense in the next chapter anyway! At least I hope so. . . u.u;
