"Easy does it." Ani said as her and Ditzy lowered Sorrow onto a bed in the spare room. "There you go." She covered her friend up after fluffing the pillows and then walking over to Klutzy.

Ditzy smiled at the two girls. "You feelin' awright Sorrow?" he asked.

She nodded slowly. "I think I am...I don't know dat much." she sighed laying down.
Ani sighed and nodded. "Well if there is anything you need don't hesitate to call anyone okay?"

"Okay..." Sorrow replied softly. "I understand."

Ditzy clapped his hands together. "Okay now dat you know dat. We're going to leave the door open...not dat we don't trust or anything but..."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah."

"Well then...we're going to go and let you get some rest." he replied. "Well check on you in a little bit."

She watched as the left the room and walked into the hallway. Once the were out of her sight she laid down slowly pulling the blankets all around her. She closed her eyes tightly.
"Ani!"

She turned around quickly to see Klutzy running up to her. "Heya." She smiled at him slightly.

He grinned at her. "Heya good to see ya..." He said.

"You certainly are in a good mood now." She smirked a bit.

"Well....um what did she say?" he asked her hopefully.

She grimaced. "Oh No...Klutzy..." She started.

He sighed heavily. "She said no didn't she?"

"Umm no..." Ani tried to get a word in.

"Oh I get it she said hell no, didn't she?" He nodded "Dat's it. It's gotta be."

Ani sighed and shook her head, scoffing a bit." She didn't say anything of dat sort Klutzy." She said.
His eyes lit up. "Did she say yes then?" He asked a strain on his voice.

"No she didn't." She replied.

He stared at her. "She had to have said something!"

She took a deep breath. "I didn't tawk ta her." She admitted.

"What?! You promised!" he exclaimed.

"Klutzy wait..."

He rolled his eyes and started to walk away.

"Wait Klutzy!" She shouted. "She was having a nightmare..." She said in a quieter voice.

He turned around, listening to her.

"...About Mountie's moirder." She choked looking away.


Klutzy just stood there staring for a moment. "Oh my God." He exclaimed, walking over trying to comfort her. He couldn't comfort Sorrow about it so this was next best thing.

She shrugged a little. "It's a fact of life we hafta deal with." She replied trying to pull away a bit.

He could feel her reluctance to be held and let go, stepping back a few feet. "Well...I still am sorry. She shouldn't hafta keep dreaming about it. It's not right."

Nodding she looked away. "No it's not...Listen I've gotta get outta heah." she said. "Will you and Ditzy keep an eye on her for me?" she asked, not waiting for an answer.

Klutzy walked away as she ran off. Sighing he approached the small room peering in. He smiled when he saw her, her eyes closed, head titled to the side. Her hair covering part of her face. She was sound asleep.

His smile widened, leaning up against the doorframe he sighed reaching his hand out. "What an angel." he whispered.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Klutzy walked down the stairs slowly leaning over putting his wait on the railing. He heard quiet chatter downstairs coming from the sitting room. As he reached the bottom of the stairs by the desk it grew louder. Promptly he headed for it.

"Shhh...you want Klutzy to hear?" Blaze hissed a little, holding on to Bumlets.

Canarie sat wide eyed. "That wouldn't be good."

It was at that moment he came in. "What wouldn't be good fer me ta hear?" It was more a demand then a question.

"You tell him!" Sunshine said pushing on Elf's leg.

"Why do I have to be the one to tell hiim?" Elf looked up at her from the floor.

Luna sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine I'se will tell him since no one else will." She said turning to Klutzy. "Oscar stopped by."

His eyes widened. "Oscar?! Does Ani know about dis?" He asked.

Slick nodded. "She's out wid Ditzy right now tawking to him."

With that he turned and headed for the front door.

"But you're da last poison he'll wanna see!" Dicky shouted after him.

He didn't listen to him and raced out. He nearly slammed into them talking by the stairs. Oscar shot a glare at him. "Great now he's out heah." he growled.

Ditzy pushed Klutzy back towards the door. "Go back in." He said sternly.

"No I'm not going." He shook his head. "I wanna know what he wants wid Sorrow."

Oscar stared at him narrowing his eyes. "Me goil almost dies and you won't let me see her?!"

Ani stepped forward. "She nearly died because of you!" She said pushing on him trying to get him further away from the building.

"Knock it off, Mozzoli!" He shouted pushing her back. 'You keep saying dat but I wanna hear it from her."

She rolled her eyes. "You're just as stupid as your dumb brother. I ain't making dis up. She said it! And dat's dat!"

Oscar glared and shook his head. He felt the anger building up inside him. He had to hit someone but who he didn't know. He turned to focus on Klutzy. It had to be him, he walked a little forward.

Ani watched him as he moved not taking his eyes off of him. Ditzy kept pushing Klutzy back trying to keep him back. He took his attention off of him for a splint second to look to make sure Oscar didn't touch Ani.

Klutzy took that moment to charge after Oscar. He ran towards him, Oscar lifted up his arm pulling it back. His fist hit Klutzy's face sending him flying to the ground nearly unconscious.

"Oscar!" The shout behind them made them turn around or look up. They stared at Sorrow as she ran down the stairs in her nightgown. She had heard the fighting from the open window in the spare room. She knelt down beside Klutzy cradling him in her arms. "How could you?!" She cried.

Oscar stared at her wide eyed. "I...I...I did it because of you!" He shouted. "They said all dese lies about you!"

She stood up her body shaking like crazy. She shook her head. "No!" She shouted. She looked at the other two and then back at Oscar. "No!" She turned and ran up the stairs, going so fast her gown flew in the air a bit.

They watched as she ran back in. Ditzy was the first to look away. He looked over at Ani seeing what the next move she would make would be.

Oscar closed his eyes and lowered his head. He couldn't cry in front of them. He couldn't. "I'se...I'se gotta go." Turning around.

Ani swallowed hard. "Delancey..."

"Huh?" He asked turning around.

"Be careful with her. Please." Ani pleaded closing her eyes and knelt down with Ditzy taking care of Klutzy.

Oscar watched for a moment and then nodded walking away.
