Author's Note: Wow, it's been a while. Sorry bout that. Oh, and just a note, this is the point in the fic where the plot starts to thicken. Despite the silliness, I don't want it to not have any significance, so here we go! Oh, and big BIG thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. *Wipes tear* you've made me smile! ^_^ ( See! Oh, and all characters belong to Jhonen Vasquez. Now… READ!

PS Thanks to Saturn for some great potty humor! ^_^ (Apologies that I didn't have this here in the first place!!! *Sweat drop* )

Little Todd Casil pulled his tricycle out of the garage, ready to go on a nice and peaceful ride. His heart sunk a bit when he saw that the back wheel was bent beyond recognition. "Daddy must have run over it with the car again. I wish I could have a bike, but he works so hard for me, I know I can't right now."

(From inside the house…) "God that kid's a pain. Honey, wanna drop Squee off at the orphanage and hit the casinos?"

"I know I have to be strong." Todd tossed the tricycle back in it's place and sat on the pavement in front of his home. He looked next door to the creepy house where the scary neighbor man lived. Todd hated the sounds that came from that place. He knew something was terribly wrong with that man, but only hoped that he wouldn't be killed. Suddenly, to his utter dismay, the door swung open. "Squee!"

Out stepped someone Squee didn't recognize. It was a strange scary looking lady. He wondered if it was one of his victims. …But by the looks of her, she could have been his family. That thought scared him. "Um… hello," he said softly and timidly.

The girl looked up, and a wide creepy grin spread across her entire face. "Squeegee! How goes it?" She quickly jogged up to the nervous child and crouched down before him.

"F-fine. Really."

"That's good. I really haven't done much to keep in touch with you. To be honest, sometimes I worry bout you. So, gotten any video games yet?"

Squee shook his head. "Nope."

"Ah… okay. How sad."

"So… um, do you know the scary neighbor man?" asked Squee, shyly.

"Mmm hmm. We're… eh, close. Yeah, I guess you could say that."

"Is he still scary…?" the boy asked solemnly.

Nny looked a bit taken aback for a moment. 'Does he really think I'm that scary?' he thought. "Um… He's… Same old, same old really."

"Okay."

"So you think he's really that scary?" she asked.

"Well, he hasn't hurt me yet, but he does really bad things to people… And the sounds… SQUEE!!!" he shrieked.

"Listen, if it'll make ya feel better, next time I see him, I'll tell him to quiet down a bit. How's that?"

Squee smiled with a look of relief on his face.

Nny stood there, studying the boy for a moment. "Yeah, no problem. I guess I'll be on my way then. G'bye, and don't forget to stay away from the loose soil over there!" She called, as she ran down the road. Squee shuddered at the thought of what was under that soil.

Nny fondled the change in his pocket as she entered the 24/7 store. She glanced over the counter to make sure that asshole clerk wasn't working there. To her utter dismay, someone else she knew all too well was there, tapping her nails against the counter. "Devi!" She hissed, not loud enough to be heard. All those memories, those horrible memories rushed back. Their wonderful date, the happiness, the confusion… And then his mistake. He tried to kill her. Pretty dumb, huh? What type of a moron tries to kill their girl on the first date? I mean God! Oh-! Um, sorry. Back to the fic now…

Devi looked over at the customer and blinked. 'That's odd… Why does that girl look so familiar?' She saw the surprised look on the girl's face, and wondered what was going on.

"Um… hi!" Nny said with a wave. She wondered what Devi would do, when suddenly she remembered. Devi wouldn't recognize her as Johnny. "You're Devi, aren't you? I met you in the bookstore once." Johnny lied. (Well, sorta. They did meet in the bookstore…)

"Oh! Okay…" Try as she might, Devi just couldn't remember. "So… who are you again?"

"Jo- …Oh um, Tess. Um, just wondering, how come you're working here now? I mean, wasn't your other job nicer?"

"Yes. Yes it was. But after I quit and tried to take some time to myself, things got a little… messy."

Nny bit her lip. She knew which question she had to ask next. "So… Um, last time I saw you, you mentioned something about wanting to ask someone out… A Johnny? I think," Nny inquired. 'Hmm, that came out pretty natural.'

Devi frowned. "I don't want to talk about it."

Nny could feel herself go weak. "D-did you break up…?"

"Breaking up would have been a blessing!" she exclaimed, angrier than Nny expected. "Please let's change the subject. I'd rather not think about him."

"Oh. Okay."

Suddenly, as if something twisted in Devi's mind, she blurted out, "That bastard! He was a creepin' loony! I hope he dies a horrible choking death, torn in the mud, ignited with fire, frozen solid, struck with lightening,"

"Y-yeah. That's fine. I have to… I have to go somewhere now anyway…" With that, Nny quickly exited the store, and stood outside to the side, shaking with grief. 'That was a mistake…'

From Inside the store:

"Eaten alive, cooked on a spit, stabbed in the back, shot in the heart…" Devi continued to mutter. She couldn't help but wonder why the strange girl hadn't bought anything.

As soon as she opened the door to her home, a bright blinding flash filled Nny's eyes. "Fook! What the hell?!"

* Just for some posterity, eh Nny? * Reverend Meat chuckled, holding the camera as he used to hold the burger. The picture popped out and exposed itself instantly.

"Lovely. Thanks a lot." Nny grumbled, picking up the photo, crumpling it into a little ball, and swallowing it.

* Not a good day? *

"Not a good day." She replied. She leaned against the wall thinking to herself. "Maybe if I act as I used to act, and do all the things I used to do, I'll go back to being me again!"

* Aren't you already you right now? You whine just the same. *

"I mean the me that wasn't a girl. There are just too many catches to it. None of my friends- or rather, those who I want as my friends even know me anymore. And I still can't figure out how they piss right!!"

Meat snickered at Nny.

"No, I'm serious! Their urinals look like sinks, and it's impossible to aim right!"

* You didn't piss in the sinks did you? *

"So they WERE sinks! That explains the old woman who hit me with her purse." Nny blushed slightly. "I hate my life…"

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Feeling a sudden surge of compassion, she decided to go down stairs and free the man she had hanging on her wall. He really wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, she found him now to be… dead. "Oh well. I think I'll go eat some tacos now."

As Nny entered the TacoHell, she decided now would be a better time then any to get something to eat. Ever since the change, she had been feeling that pit in her stomach that might have been partially due to hunger. The desire to eat was the least of her problems. As she sat down in the booth with a greasy back of Lord-knows-what. She had just started digging in, when she was made aware of the greasy, tall, black haired, jock type sitting next to her for no apparent reason. "What do you want? I'm trying to eat."

"Yeah, yeah, cool cool," he said in a mocking voice. He slid close up to her in the booth. "Just thought I'd like to be close to a cutie like you."

"Either go away, or let me out please…" Nny grumbled, pushing him against the back of the seat, trying to get away from the wall.

In turn, he shoved her back where she was. "Jeez, what's the matter with you?! I just came here to be friendly!"

"Somehow, I don't believe you."

He wrapped his arm around her, and draped it over her shoulder. "You can trust me, sweetie."

"Stop it! Just get out of my way while your arm is still attached!" Nny's eyes widened as she felt the man's hand running up her leg. "I SAID STOP YOU SHIT!!!" She jumped onto the table of the booth, crouching in front of the asshole.

The man turned around from Nny, looking towards a table swarming with asshole clones and drones and such. All of them looked like they were on drugs, with bruises under their eyes and doped up looks on their faces. "Hey guys! I told you this one was a weird little cunt!"

One of the girls from that table started giggling stupidly, then the others chimed in. Nny calmly climbed from the table, and opened the door. "Yes. Yes. That's very funny. I think I'll leave you irritants to your laughter."

They continued laughing, and at that point, everyone in the restaurant was staring at Nny. But as soon as she left, they went back to their business. None of them noticed Nny pulling something out of the trunk of her little grey car.

AN: So there you have it. A nice lovely cliffhanger to ponder over. Or not. Pleasant something. (Hee hee, I stole that line from Jhonen!)
