Part II: I Didn't Ask For This…

For the next week, Nny waited patiently by the door, keeping watch for the mailman through a space between the boards over his windows, and finally the day came.

He had left his window seat for only a moment to throw away an old Brainfreezy cup that kept hitting him in the foot (there was a draft, and them styrofoam cups aren't very sturdy, people) when he heard the doorbell ring.

BZZZZZACK!!

Johnny rushed to the door excitedly and threw it open, but the person standing on his front step was definitely not the mailman.

He cocked his head to one side, looking at the dark skinned girl with her even darker hair, her green eyes gazing brightly back at him as she clutched a small skeleton toy to her chest.

"Hiii!" she said cheerfully, an insanely happy grin plastered on her face.

"Um… who are you?" Nny inquired, leaning against the doorframe.

"Your date!"

"… My what?"

"Your date!" The girl squeezed the skeleton toy and it squeaked loudly. "You won the Skettios contest! And so did I!"

"You're not a can-opener," Johnny said, confused.

"Nooo, I'm your blind date!" The girl handed him his Skettios brand spaghettios can-opener. "That's the can-opener, silly." She squeaked the toy again.

"Blind.. date? I don't remember anything about a blind date…"

Johnny was torn from his thoughts as the girl grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him to the old, beat up Cadillac that had "SKETTIOS LIMO" painted on the side in bright orange letters.

Once inside, the driver started the car and they were off to wherever the magical Skettios Limo was taking them.

Johnny was still really confused.

"But.. I didn't ask for this… I just wanted the can-opener!" He waved it over his head (well, sorta; the ceiling was pretty low).

"Aww, too bad. I'm Tenna!" the girl replied. "And thiiiis is Spooky!" Another squeak from the toy.

"I'm.. Johnny. But you can call me Nny… I s'pose." He lowered the can-opener and stared at it for a moment before shoving it into his trench coat pocket.

"The Johnny?" Tenna asked incredulously, staring at him. "As in the one Devi's always raaaving about?"

Nny stared back, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.

"You know Devi?!"

"Of course," Tenna said, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world. "I'm only her bestest friend!"

Nny made a mental note here not to kill this girl, as that would only worsen the situation between him and Devi.

"Wow, I finally get to meet you! Isn't this just neat?!"

Johnny was taken completely aback when Tenna all of a sudden leaned over and hugged him tightly, cutting off his air supply.

He pushed against her, but she didn't budge until she willfully let go, and, as he caught his breath, he was wondering if he'd be able to kill her even if he wanted to.

"We're here. Get out. Now. NOOOW! Aaargh!!" the driver instructed, pointing to the large building to their right.

Johnny and Tenna climbed out and gazed up at the very tall building, Tenna squeaking Spooky repeatedly.

Johnny was about to snatch the annoying toy when a pudgy man in a tattered and dusty tuxedo approached them, scratching his nose.

"Nngh.. are you.. umm… the contest winners? Blergh…"

Nny raised his eyebrow and reached for one of his cleverly hidden blades, but Tenna gave an excited "Yesss!" and the man nodded, sniffling.

"Arr..ghh.. this way, please…"

They followed the pudgy man into the squat, grungy building beside the tall one and were told to wait for someone to seat them.

Johnny was still flustered as they were lead to their "special" booth with something about skettios written on a banner hanging from the ceiling.

He had a feeling this was gonna be a really weird ass night.

I bet chu thought it was gonna be Devi, didn't you? Well then, I sure proved you wrong! Um.. I guess… Anyway, I'm sorry this chapter isn't much longer than the last, but I'm having trouble writing much of anything lately. Oh well. It'll go away. I hope.
