I listened to my only review. Please understand I am by no means following the Trigun Universe rules. I only named him Erics because my friends said too. I'm really not going to follow ANY of the rules.
This is suppose to be a completely different look on the whole Trigun Universe, that's why I wrote it like this. Got it? I hope you do.
I agree with you though. I need a beta reader for everything I write, but I never use one mainly because I want to try to correct what I write myself.

Part 2- Vash the Stampede
Erics happily chomped down on another donut as he walked down the street. He was going to leave this town soon. He didn't want to stay in a town that has Vash the Stampede! ((What cruel ironey huh?))
Erics wasn't watching where he was going and slammed into someone. The person started to fall backwards from the bump. Erics put the rest of the donut in his mouth before shooting his arms out and caughting the poor person he ran into.
He looked down and saw Meryl. He gave a happy grin.
"So we meet again?" He said.
"Why don't you watch where you're going next time?" Meryl asked abit rudely.
Erics gave a sappy look as he helped her stand. Then looked down, kicking some dirt with his foot.
"I'll try next time.. I'm sorry." He commented.
Meryl couldn't take that sappy look on his face much longer.
"It's alright. I'm not hurt. So, have you heard anything else about Vash, Mr. Erics?" She asked him.
He looked at her with a grinning face. "I asked around and everything! Someone said he was wearing red and had blonde hair."
"That's great! Now, atleast we know something about what he looks like. Well, thank you for your help once again Mr. Erics." Meryl said, nodding.
"Your Very welcome! By the way, where's the big girl you were traveling with?" He asked.
"Oh.. she's also asking around."
"That's good. Well, I'd better go pack." He said, about to run off, but was grabbed by meryl first.
"Are you leaving so soon?" She asked him.
"Yeah! I'm not sticking around a place where Vash the Stampede is staying! It's very strange. I think I either have the worst luck on the planet or he is following me."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, every town I have ever been too, he's been there about the same time I have. Then, I always have to leave. When I do, he leaves. I think he's stalking me or something." Erics said while scratching his head in a thoughtful way.
"Stalking you?! What the hell do you mean? Why would Vash the Stampede waste his time on you? And if he was, why didn't he kill you by now?" Meryl said, plainly shocked.
"I don't know!" He yelled out waving his arms for effect. "I haven't even met the guy either. It seems like I always just miss him."
".. Mr. Erics. If he really follows you around... can Milly and I follow you? I mean.. so we can find Vash that is." She said, a little embrassed.
".. I guess so... I've been so lonely! Now, I got some friends!" He said in a child-like voice. He suddenly picked Meryl up and started to give her a bear hug. "I can't believe I have someone to travel with from now on!"
People stopped and stared at the strange pair. They started to whisper.
Meryl, suddenly freed one of her arms and bashed Erics on the head for hugging her like that.
"WHY YOU! Don't ever do that again do you hear me?!?!" She yelled at him. She turned to the people who stopped to watch, glaring at them. "Do you want to get hit as well?!"
Everyone scrambled away from the angry woman. Meryl stomped off to go tell Milly they were going to follow Erics.
Erics was on the ground staring up at the sky. He lifted his hand to the bump on his head. His eyes narrowed.
'That damn fool.... He must have flirted with another woman.. that idiot..' He thought. He sat up and looked around.
Erics had turned into Vash the Stampede from the hit on his head.
He slowly stood up and brushed the dust off of his coat. He gave a smirk as he headed for the town's saloon.
*******************
Meryl had finally found Milly. Milly was at the hotel, asking the now scared, manager about Vash the Stampede.
"Milly." Meryl said. The younger woman turned around.
"Oh hi Meryl!" Milly said in a cheerful voice as usual.
"I found out a way to find Vash faster. Mr. Erics said that Vash usually is in the same town as him, so we will follow Mr. Erics until we find Vash." Meryl said as she presented her plan to find Vash.
"That's great Meryl! Now we don't have to ask around anymore. Besides, I think Mr. Erics is nice."
"Yeah.... nice.." Meryl said while her eyebrow twitched a little.
*********************
Vash sat down at the bar and called the Bar Tender over.
"I'll have a glass of beer and a salmon sandwitch." He said, not looking up.
His eyes were focused on the counter. They were more narrowed then what Erics had and his demenor had changed a lot. Erics held himself in a happy, cheerful way with his eyes almost over flowing with delight.
Vash on the other hand, held his shoulder stiff and broad. His eyes held back all his emotion. His body was more manly, well held. His back more straight and his posture was much better then Erics.
"Here you go sir." The tender said as he placed the glass of beer on the counter in front of him, and a plate with salmon sadwitches on it.
Vash didn't say anything, but sipped the beer, instead of downing it like Erics would do. He placed the glass on the counter and grabbed a sandwitch. He brought it to his mouth, but before he could take a bite, the two insurance girls walked in.
He looked at them in the corner of his eyes, then brought his attention back to his food. He took a bite from the sandwitch.
Meryl and Milly walked up to him. They sat to his right, closer to the door, he noted.
They didn't seem to be weary of him, but more of the people around him. Men in the bar were giving them looks that were most unsettling.
Vash didn't pay any mind to the men, but rather to the two girls.
Even though Erics has control over him sometimes, he could still remember people that Erics had talked too. He remembered the two girls. He wasn't exactly found of them right now, but he wouldn't kill them for no reason like he would other people.
He would wait til they gave him a reason before he did something like that. Especaily to the black haired one. She was interesting...
"Mr. Erics. We are ready to leave when you are." Meryl said as she sat beside him.
Something was upsetting her a little about Mr. Erics. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something wasn't right. It felt like she was talking to a completely different person!
"Alright then. I'll be ready to go in just a minute." He answered, bitting into his sandwitch again. Then took a swing of his beer.
".. umm.. ok." Meryl answered. She turned to the counter and looked down at it's surface.
Milly also noticed somethin' was up with Mr. Erics.
"Mr. Erics? Are you feeling alright?" Milly asked.
Vash looked up at her, tring his best to put on a smile. "Fine." Then he looked back down. He didn't want these.. girls.. to figure out his secret. He promised himself who ever figured out that he, Vash the Stampede was also that Brainless, idiot Erics.. he would kill them.
'Don't give me a reason ladies..' He thought to himself, taking another sip of his beer.
Then, the men from the bar walked over to the girls.
"Hey! Why don't you ditch him. I'd bet you'd have more fun with us!" One man said.
Vash looked at the man in the corner of his eye, before looking back down.
"Yeah! I bet you can't have any fun with this whimp." Another man said.
That got Vash's attention. Vash turned around in his seat and looked at the man. He leaned back against the counter and gave a very twisted grin at them.
"Well, why don't we find out who the real man is?" He asked, not scared in the least.
The men backed away from him. That grin was unsettling.
"Why you punk! Do you know who we are? We are part of the Skyline gang! If you mess with us, you mess with the whole gang." He said.
"Ohhh... I'm shaking in my boots." Vash said sarcastically. He had a lazy look on his face showing he wasn't in the least scared of them. Infact he was bored by these idiots who dare challendge him.
Meryl and Milly stared at him. Both shocked by the sudden change of additude.
The man clentched his fist, then pulled it back. "You asked for this!" He yelled before slamming his fist into Vash's face.
Vash took the blow, his face turned to the side. The men snickered. But, then their jaws dropped. Vash.. laughed..
"Was that all you got? I suggest you run while you still can if that's all you pack." Vash said, his head still turned from the blow.
Then man got ready to strike again, but Vash got the upper hand. He pulled out his gun and pointed into between the man's eyes.
"..Bang." Vash said.
The man almost peed his pants at that moment. Vash grinned a twisted grin again. The other men ran, but the one in front of Vash was frozen in Fear.
"I'll tell you what. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you to the count of ten to run." He said.
The man backed away.
"1....2.." Vash started.
The man scrambled out of the bar.
"3...4...5....6" Vash continued.
The man made it out of the bar.
Vash smirked and put his gun away. He turned around and finished his sandwitch. Then he turned to the girls.
Somehow, he turned back into Erics.
"HIYA! WOW! My jaw hurts!" He said, grabbing his jaw.
Meryl and milly nearly fainted.
"But.. but.. you.." Meryl started.
"I what?" He asked confused. He blinked a few times, showing his confusion.
"Nothing.." She said, sitting back down.
"WOW! Time sure does pass by quick! Let's get going!" Erics said. He paid his tab, then grabbed Meryl's sleeve. He almost dragged her out of the bar, grinning the whole time.
'No way.. he couldn't be...' Meryl thought to herself.
"Hey! Can we get a donut on the way?" Erics asked.
'There's no way he could be Vash.. I don't know what I was thinking.' She thought, then continued to follow Erics.
