She looked down at what she had just done and smiled. Job well done, she told herself. I can't wait to see the look on his face. She gave her art one last look and then crawled behind a nearby bush to wait. She heard footsteps- someone approaching. She looked out, disappointed to see some girl there instead of Patrick. She saw that this girl had a shiny metal object in her hand.

"Damn! Someone beat me to it!" Kat cried, looking at Mai's 'artwork'.

She's after him, too? Mai thought. May as well get to know her- it's not like I know anyone else out here and I can use all the help I can get. She popped out from behind the bush.

Kat jumped in surprise. "Who are you?" she inquired.

"I'm Mai. I saw you going for his car- I kind of already beat you to screwing it up…But you look pretty angry with him. I am too. I'm from out of town and I am looking to forge alliances here in Seattle. Who are you?"

Although this Mai seemed perfectly nice, Kat was a little surprised by her overly-friendliness and wasn't too comfortable with giving out her real name that freely. "Uh… me? I'm… uh… Bianca…" she responded, with the first thing that popped into her head.

"Well, hello, Bianca! You from here?"

"Yeah,  I live here. Look, I'm really mad a Patrick, and since you beat me to this, wanna help me think of something else to do?"

"Okay. Let's go to Beba's… actually, let's not," she said, thinking about Patrick and feeling nauseous with disgust, "There's a new pizza joint I wanted to try. Is that cool with you?"

"Yeah, sure. Oh, um, I don't exactly have… well, a car. Would you mind driving me?"

"No prob. C'mon, let's go."

Patrick came out of Blockbuster, fresh from hours of work, with a slew of Jim Carrey movies in hand. Whistling, he made his way to his car, yanked open the slightly rusting door and hopped in. He put on the radio, cranked up the volume, and sped out of the parking lot. Driving down Main Street, he saw a yellow light about twenty-five yards away. He sped up to try to beat the red light, but his attempt was unsuccessful and he screeched on his brakes so as not to get involved in an accident. That's the last thing I need, he thought. He noticed two guys pull up in a car next to him. It seemed as though the guy in the driver's seat was trying to tell him something. He turned down the volume and rolled down the passenger seat window.

"Dude," then driver said, "What, like, happened to you, like, car, man?"

"What? What do you mean?" Patrick yelled back.

"I mean, like, your car, man. It's, like, totally trashed!" The two guys, noticing the green light, drove away, laughing their heads off at the shocked look on Patrick's face. Patrick didn't even notice the change of the light and was only awakened from his state of shock by the loud honking of a car behind him. He pulled to the right side of the road, quickly getting out of his car to inspect the damage.

Kat and Mai walked into Pizza Palace and found a table near the back corner. They sat down. The waiter came over, asking what they would like to drink. Kat asked for a Diet Coke with Lemon and for Mai, a Roy Rogers.

"Oh, my God," Kat began, as the particularly cute waiter came back with their drinks, "I would love to kill that sorry excuse for a human!"

"Oh, but why kill when you can torture? It's just so much more fun!" Mai responded.

"Touché. So, why do you hate him so much?"

"I don't really want to talk about it. It's a thing of the past. But that's not to say that I don't want revenge," Mai ended with an evil smile. "What did he do to you?"

"I don't really want to talk about it either." Kat really hated what he had done to her, but wasn't ready to talk about it with a girl she had met less than an hour ago.

"That's cool. Well, as I said before, I've got a plan."

"I'm all ears."

One half-hour later, these two fellow Patrick-haters strolled out of Pizza Palace.

"Jackass should be getting off-duty in a few," Kat said to Mai.

"Hey, Bianca. Whaddya say we follow 'Jackass' and see his reaction to my work of genius?"

"I'm all for it! C'mon! Get in the car!"

The two girls hopped in Kat's car and sped down the street towards Blockbuster. They soon came into view of the huge blue and yellow sign proclaiming the store's name. They parked a few spaces away from him, where he couldn't see then but they could see him. Neither grey cloud over their heads. They saw him come out of the building and they grabbed each other's clammy hands as they waited for his anticipated reaction. When they saw him too preoccupied with whatever what in his hands to notice the extensive damages done to the other side of his car, they got a little impatient.

"What a dumbass," both of them muttered in unison.

"Jinx! You owe me a soda!" screeched Mai.

"Okay, okay! He's leaving…should we follow to see if he EVER notices?"

"Duh! Of course! Step on that gas!"

Kat obeyed and sped out of the parking lot and down the street, following his sickly green truck. Kat and Mai stopped two cars behind Patrick at a red light. The light changed and Kat beeped her horn at him, urging him to get on a move on it, get home, and notice what was all over his car. But instead of moving forward, he pulled over to the corner. Kat noticed this and parked her car on the opposite side of the corner. Kat and Mai crept out of the car, hiding behind the decorative bushes and flowers planted there at the corner of Main and 3rd.

"I think he noticed," Mai stated, as she watched him hop out of the car and scurry over to the other side.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Kat replied as the two watched him yell in agony at the sight of the damage and run his fingers through his long, dark, curly locks. "D'you think we should expose ourselves?"

"That sounds like a good idea. It'll just make the whole experience worse for him if he knows that two of his 'enemies', if you will, have teamed up against him to torture him as long as he lives!"

Patrick heard a rustling in the bushes behind him accompanied by female voices and some giggles. He turned around to see what was making all the noise. To his complete surprise, he saw the two most unexpected comrades with smirks on their faces and dramatically squinted eyes: Kat and Mai!

A/N: I particularly like this chapter with the whole teaming up thing… I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Again, sorry for the two-instantaneous-postings thing, but I can't help it! Plus, Michelle won't get off my back about it…like Megumi won't get off of Kenshin's…(if you didn't get that last bit, don't worry)

'Till my next post,

Charlotte ;)
