There was a young girl from the city
Who met a Necromancer quite pretty
They had one fun night
Then they ran from a fight
That I only own one is a pity

The Closet door opened slowly, and Eclair closed her eyes tightly. Oh this was hell, she was going to be caught naked in a closet with another woman, it was going to be known all over town that Eclair Mocha had experienced her first sexual pleasures at the hand of another woman. Well more than just her hand, but that didn't need to be discussed. She knew that if she didn't open the door herself that Gateau would most likely just break it down, and her room was most likely already in tatters from the fighting, she didn't want her closet smashed too. About a quarter of the way open Eclair stopped, "Hold on, let me get some clothes."
"Just hurry up." Yes he sounded quite perturbed with her, so she needed to do this fast. It only took her a few seconds to pull a long dress over her head, Senti apparently had decided to stay naked. After taking a deep breath, Eclair just decided to get on with it and pushed open the door to the closet, the light of the outer room filtering into the darkness and blinding her for a second. It was in this moment of blindness that she was the most scared, just knowing that Gateau was going to be doing something rash the moment his eyes came upon Senti, but as her pupils contracted and she regained her sight she suddenly realized that she needn't have worried.
Her brother was laying on the ground hog tied with her bed sheets and with a pillow case shoved over the top of his head, Geeves standing beside him triumphantly. Eclair was aghast, "What the hell? How did you....." Potato crawled his way out from under Eclair's upturned mattress and grinned.
"Geevth, you're the betht! That wath amazing!" The small, egg shaped man was covered in plaster, apparently he had been tossed into the walls a few more times, evidenced by a dozen or so head shaped holes scattered about her room.
"You little bastards, I'm gonna cream you!" Gateau struggled against his restraints, and Eclair was amazingly surprised that he hadn't just broken free of them. "I'm gonna rip your fat little heads off and use them to throw at birds!" Eclair groaned and held her forehead, her brother was so embarrassing. "Untie me right now so that I can kick your little asses!"
Geeves just laughed, "You can not escape the Chips family Super Secret Double Looped Handy Pentagon Knot! It's impossible!" And apparently it was, because no matter how much the huge man tried, he couldn't seem to free himself. If he hadn't looked so pathetic Eclair would have laughed at her brother, being subdued by a two foot tall Weeble with a bad mustache.
Well there were quite a few choices put before Eclair Mocha at that particular instant, and none of them seemed very good. She could risk the wrath of her brother and untie him, letting him see Senti in the closest and leaving Eclair the subject of a thousand gossipy tongues for moths; or she could try and sneak Senti out while Gateau was still subdued and try to make up an excuse for why she hadn't helped him out sooner. And that was only assuming that he hadn't seen Senti go into the closet with her in the first place. This was a hell of a predicament. "Hey there blonde lady, wathn't I jutht the cooletht? How about you and me-" That's as far as he got before he caught Eclair's toes with his jaw and went sailing up into the ceiling with a loud crunch.
"Master Potato! Let me help you down!" The tiny old man scrambled over the remnants of Eclair's bed and took a flying leap, latching onto Potato's ankles and trying to yank his head out of the ceiling through sheer body weight.
Eclair sighed and started to go help out Gateau when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her upper arm. She spun around to find Senti, dressed in some of Eclair's clothes, looking quite frightened. Eclair blinked in surprise and lowered the arm she hadn't even realized she had cocked back for a punch. She was getting way too nervous and jittery, she needed to cool down. "What'd you just do?"
Senti frowned, "What're you talking about? I didn't do anything." Eclair looked down at her arm, there was a definite red spot near the bicep.
"Yes you did, look you can see it." A loud bang as Geeves finally got his master out of the ceiling, but Eclair didn't notice. "Don't lie to me."
Senti blushed, "Oh that, I just pinched you to get your attention that's all. Sorry if I frightened you, what did you think I did, try to stab you?"
Eclair shook her head and relaxed, "Sorry, it's just the stress getting to me."
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO?!"
Oops, she had forgotten about Gateau. Spinning around to look at her bound and blinded brother Eclair spoke the first things that popped into her mind, "A friend of mine, she came over to see if everything was alright after hearing all of the ruckus you guys were causing. Didn't you hear her come in?" Eclair blinked, holy crap she was a pretty good liar.
"Oh... Well tell her everything is fine, I have it all under control."
Senti snorted, "Obviously..."
In the background of the conversation Potato and Geeves were wrestling violently over one of Eclair's bras that had fallen out of a drawer that had been tossed across the room. Potato had one strap gripped in his chubby little hands and Geeves was attached to the other with his teeth. "Let go Geevth! It'th mine I found it firtht! Get your own!" Somehow Eclair was reminded of Carrot. She started to go over there and toss them both out of the house, she'd never wear that bra again, not after that creepy old man got his weird midget drool all over it. She didn't make it two steps before her legs gave out on her and she dropped to her knees.
"What the hell is going on?" Eclair tried to move, but her whole body seemed paralyzed, she couldn't even move her head and was forced to stare straight forward at the two little men looking at her in disbelief, undergarment forgotten in their respective grasps. Then cold steel pressed against her skin, goosebumps popping out all over her body as the blade of a knife slid across her neck, threatening to cut the skin and spill Eclair's life across the floor.
Senti laughed, "Alright, now that I've got your attention..."

Author's Note: Eclair Chips Step Four has been completed! Ooh who saw that one coming? Everyone who read 'The Necromancer's Marque'. Anyway I think it's pretty obvious that this isn't a Mary Sue story, or maybe it is and I'm just that damned devious! Nah, it's not a Mary Sue, Senti's bad news and everyone knows it. Well I'm gonna apologize personally to The Narrator for reading this sick and disturbing stuff last time, and I'll apologize to everyone else in general for not updating it in so long. I got distraced by...well sleep mostly, but that's over now! Next time: The Devious Plot, The Waiting, and Gateau Bashing.
