Heh, lots of weirdness so far. This chapter has a reference to some of Jhonen Vasquez's other work. One is a Meanwhile reference just so ya know.
Pepito and Squee watched Sam, with much disgust, as she ate her slice of pizza, topped with anchovies, pineapple bits, and cookie crumbs.
"How can you eat that?" Squee asked with a slight gag. "Simple, my dear Watson," she took a swig of her drink before continuing, "I've tried many toppings, but these three are the best together!" "How many other toppings did you try?"
She scratched her chin thoughtfully, gazing out the window of the small pizza place they were in. "Lets see…pudding, ham, toothpaste, creamed corn, powdered sugar, shrimp, several kinds of cereal, and that white stuff in the middle of a Twinkie,"
The boys looked like they were about to toss their cookies and Sam jumped out of the booth for safety, but the two belched loudly instead.
She giggled nervously and sat back down, but sprang to her feet once again after hearing something about a murder. She rushed to the radio that was on the counter and listened. "We have no evidence of the murderer, but witnesses who were not killed say that the murderer was tall, and that's about it."
Sam rushed out the door.
"Ugh, where is she?" Pepito growled as they scrounged around on the dark streets. "Sam always has to run off like this…" "Maybe her blood's made of caffeine," Squee suggested, but the demon just rolled his eyes. It was about seven o' clock, and they knew they had to get home soon.
Up ahead were where a murder took place, inside a coffee shop, but police cars and tape blocked it off. When curiosity get the better of them, the boys strode up and tried to peek through the makeshift barrier. The walls were covered in blood and debris, mostly made up of meat chunks, was all over the floor.
A flash of white caught the cop's attention and they drew their guns and waited. A tiny squeak emitted from behind the counter and they fired at it.
The blurred flash then jumped out from behind the counter and they blindly shot at the thing, but it was zigzagging this way and that way. It leapt onto the broken light hanging from the ceiling, then jumped at the officers.
They panicked and ducked as the flash hopped from police car to police car like it was nothing, then ducked into a deserted alleyway, but the cops were too scared to go after it. "What was that thing?" one asked, "Something inhuman…" another one answered.
Then, there was a faint scream far off in the distance, one that only Pepito's ears could pick up. "C'mon! I think I heard Sam!" he commanded and dashed down the street with Squee on his heels. He spotted her in front of a small shop, her face pressed against the windowpane.
"Sam? Sam, what's wrong??" a concerned Squee asked. "They have the latest issue of 'I Feel Sick'!" she screamed again, stamping her feet excitedly. The two groaned and Pepito grabbed Sam's shoulders and spun her around, forcing her to look at him.
"Will you quit running off? Any weirdo on the street could've kidnapped you!" she stared blankly at him, mouth slightly agape, before stating, "You gotta boogie in your nose." He made a weird face and turned around to pick his nose, then turned to her again.
He opened his mouth to chide her some more, but she was gone. He snarled and looked over his shoulder, seeing a nervous Squee, with Sam hiding behind him and trying to stifle a giggle. Pepito sighed. He couldn't stay mad at her. She was just too darn cute.
"Last one to my house is the son of Satan!" "Hey, I'm not that bad at racing!" Pepito turned to Squee. "Am I?" he just shrugged with a smile and ran off after Sam, who was already a dot on the horizon. He rolled his eyes heavenward and followed.
"That was the grossest movie I have ever seen," Sam said disgustedly as the trio strode out of the theater. "I think I threw up on your shoes," Squee commented, holding his stomach.
She shook her head. "Nah, you threw up on the guy next to you." "Didn't look like he minded at all," Pepito intervened. "Probably because his HEAD EXPLODED!!" the two boys glanced at the nauseated girl with equal distaste.
"Oddly humorous though," "Maybe cause that dinosaur was chewing that kid like a cow chews grass," Squee stated and they agreed, laughing a little. Pepito then smirked as he felt like messing with Sam and asked her, "What'd ya think about the sex scene?"
She looked appalled, angry, and all too embarrassed. "I-it was disgusting and way too…um…" she paused and bit her knuckle, her cheeks starting to heat up. "…graphic. Also noisy." "Yep. All that gasping and moaning and panting and—"
"GWA!" she cut him off and plugged her ears, "No! I mean the…sounds that were…duh…" she whimpered, "…the sounds they were…um…it was like overamplified sounds of someone stirring a bowl of noodles and a big fat stinkin' glob of cheese!!"
The three then burst out laughing, leaning on one another for support from laughing so hard. Sam tried to mimic the sound by using her armpit and her hand; she also blew raspberries for fun. Pretty soon, the trio was laughing and all making funny sounds and farting noises.
The sun was setting and the sky was striated with oranges, pinks, and yellows of all shades. All the buildings were a bright pink and all the windows were golden, creating a beautiful and dramatic sight. It was true beauty that was glazed over the otherwise dreary city.
They had forgotten they were walking down and the street, with Squee walking backwards and accidentally bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry. I didn't see—" he didn't have time to finish as the unseen person punched him in the jaw, causing his head to collide with the wall.
His two friends gasped and Pepito picked up his bleeding form and stepped back, while Sam confronted the man. He stepped out of the shadows to reveal themselves as…a woman?! The woman was tall and shapely, wearing a shiny black leather bodysuit that clung to her body.
The zipper was pulled down, revealing a lot of cleavage, while she tossed her long wavy blonde hair over her shoulder. Several guns were strapped to her hip and she had on a mask that concealed her eyes and nose, and her ruby red lips curled into a snarl.
"Out of my way you brats!" she spat in an annoyingly high tone, but Sam stood her ground. "You want me to take care of her?" Pepito asked as he balled his glowing fists, but she waved her hand dismissively. "Stubborn, eh?"
Sam just rolled her eyes, as the woman looked her up and down. "You have a horribly sense of fashion," "I dress for myself, not for others."
"Meaning…?"
"I wear what I want. I don't wear the latest fashions just to get noticed and be popular!" the woman scoffed at her. "Whatever, now out of my way!" she was about to push her way through, but Sam growled and kicked her in the shin.
The woman screeched in pain and tried to kick her, but Sam sidestepped and seized her leg and twisted it, then jerked forward, sending the woman onto the pavement. She got up and spun around, trying to land a punch, but Sam jumped sideways and grabbed onto the pole.
She swung her legs out, successfully getting her ankles around the woman's neck, then held onto the pole tightly as she used all of her strength and violently careened the woman onto the ground, then pressed her knee into her back while twisting her arm behind her head.
"Now, apologize to my friend." Sam demanded, her words dripping with venom. The woman grunted and flailed, trying to escape, but failed. "Never!" With her free hand, she pressed a button on her belt and a big cloud of sleeping gas sprayed out.
While the boys had succumb to slumber, Sam tried her hardest to stay awake, but her vision blurred and her strength was quickly diminishing as her grip on the woman loosened. She finally let go and fell backwards, letting herself quietly slip into the darkness.
Oooooh, who could this mysterious woman beeeeee? And why does Sam have to be so spontaneous huh? WHY?! Cause I said so!
Sam: Um…yeah! ^__^
