AN: This chapter was written with a stolen pen from the library and Love & Rockets playing. Yay! L&R = addictive. So anyway, this may be a bit forced in some parts. And just so you know, Nny isn't a homicidal maniac yet in this, so that's why he's acting like a wuss. Also, thanks to my wonderful ten reviewers. This is actually the most reviews I've ever had in a story. Sad, yes? Hehe. Oke, enjoy!

~Chapter 5~
Nny walked off of his property like he was entering foreign land. He hadn't been outside in at least a week and a half, and had grown quite comfortable in the safety of his own home. And now...this. Nonetheless, he looked up to notice a lovely moon out that night, and felt more at ease as he walked in the direction of the 24/7. He took a deep breath of the fragrant night air, and actually felt good about this little excursion. 'Why don't I take walks more often?' he thought to himself. Within a few seconds, the busy part of town was in plain view. Littered with...people. Nny shuddered at this thought. 'Mmmyeah. THAT'S why I never take walks.' He carried on still towards his beloved Brainfreezies, a very rare good mood having been shot.
Nny received a few rude glances from those sitting outside Café le Prick. He managed to ignore them, as he usually did. Unfortunately, though, on the next street a very drunk guy and his very drunk girlfriend were engaged in some serious PDAs outside a bar. Nny's eye twitched at this as he tried to avoid this couple altogether. Of course, this is a bit difficult when certain drunk guys go out of their way to get up in your face while his girlfriend stands by giggling.
"Hey, Beth," the guy called over to his girlfriend, "look at the skinny fag over here." Beth simply laughed harder. The guy continued his ever-so intelligent speech. "You wouldn't ever date a guy like this, would you?"
Beth's laughter increased even more. "Of course not, babe!" Nny cringed to himself at her usage of the word "babe". "You're so much more built than he is! And he's not even saying anything. Talk about boring." Beth ended with one more giggle.
She was right, Nny thought. This guy WAS really built, and quite a bit taller than him as well. That was the whole reason he wasn't saying anything -- a fear of being maimed.
The guy (since his name obviously won't be revealed any other way, let's dub him Gene :^D) took Beth's comments as an advantage. "Yeah. So obviously I must be smarter than him if he's so quiet. Aren't I?!" he asked Nny forcefully.
"Um..." Nny started. "Have you ever taken an IQ test?"
A puzzled look crossed Gene's face. "What's that?" Nny resisted the urge to laugh. Gene took no notice of this and continued. "Yeah, well either way, I still say you're a faggot, and I won't let you go until you admit it."
Nny blinked and looked around. He cursed himself for giving into the "urge" to go outside. Finally, he replied, "Define faggot."
Almost as a reflex, Gene pushed him up against the outside wall of the bar, and...well, knocked his lights out, basically. Beth returned to her laughing as the two walked away, leaving Nny on the ground with what would soon be a black eye.

Sally crawled out of the other side of the portal and looked around at her rather plain surroundings. No elaborate ironwork. No extremely fancy headstones. Just your everyday, boring cemetery. Despite this, it was nice to be somewhere different, she decided. It was also nice to be alone...or at least that's what she thought. Within minutes, the resident graveyard maniac had his hand over her mouth and was dragging her away, telling her to cooperate or he would "really mess her up." [AN: OK, yeah, so this is a bit unrealistic. Bear with me here.] She struggled and screamed as loud as she could with a hand over her mouth, but that wasn't very loud, and the maniac wouldn't relent. Sally wondered if this demon she was carrying was causing this to happen, or if it was just the Universe punishing her for escaping. Either way, she could only hope for a miracle.

Meanwhile, Nny had long since gotten up from the blow he had taken, and was now returning home after acquiring his Brainfreezy. He decided to take the longer, scenic route home, as he wanted to avoid any more drunk people who mistook him for a cigarette. He walked down a road lit only by the full moon overhead. He was feeling a bit better being out of the downtown area, despite the black eye, and his eyes began to wander around at his surroundings. There were only a couple houses he had passed so far, and quite a few trees lined the road. Looking to his right, he observed a small cemetery. He wouldn't have thought anything of it if something going on near the middle of the graveyard hadn't caught his attention. He passed it off as a few kids drinking in the graveyard at midnight, until he thought he heard muffled screams. Now, Nny isn't exactly the heroic type, but this sparked his curiosity, so he decided to investigate.
The maniac stopped dragging Sally and looked up to see Nny entering the cemetery slowly, looking around wide-eyed. He muttered an expletive under his breath, then dropped Sally and ran away before the "intruder" could see him. Sally landed on the ground with a thud and a small, startled shriek. Nny automatically looked over in her direction as she got up to dust herself off. He decided to go over and ask her what happened.
