thanx for yur reviews, ya know who ya are! I need ideas!!!

Sorry 'bout not updateing sooner. I've been on a extremly rare sugar high for the past three days or so.My doc said that Im now requiered by international law to take some horse tranqs after eating more than six pounds of pure suger.Something 'bout a turkey,a spork,some spam,a whale,a monkey,some frogs with m80's strapped to thur backs,a dozen fan fics about Toad and a giant turkey launcher.If ya ask me,I say hes the nut,though I vaguely remember a monkey sitting on a turkey and rocketing into the sunset.Now read this chapter while I try to figure out why my closet's possesed by a danceing baboon!

chapter 3 Wheres Toad?

I woke up around 11 this morning thankfull that Todd had let me sleep in late.He was probably mad at me for hitting him with a about dozen hex's after last nights attempt to kiss me! "Hey Wanda! Look Mistletoe!" Todd yelled at me while pointing at some thing above my door.I looked up and my eyes grew wide when he kissed me on the cheak,leaving slime all over my new coat! "THAT IS IT!" I Screamed while Todd started to backup. "WHY CANT YOU BE LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE?"I yelled sending a as many hexs at him as I could,knocking him into his room with a painfull "THUD!" before I hexed his door shut,then smilled and went to bed.

I made my way down stairs for what passed as breakfast in the Brotherhood house,but stopped when I noticed that there was no one else up.Faint snoreing could be heard from Freds room.Todd had the only alarm clock in the house so he usely woke everybody else up,going from Fred to Lance to Pietro then to my room hopping onthe bed untill we got up screaming or cussing at him.



"What the....?"I said to my self while walking back up the stares."Whys Fred asleep on a saterday morning? Him and Todd never miss ther cartoons!" As I walked towards Todds room,I could here the alarm clock still buzzing."Hey Toa...."I trailed off upon walking in and seeing something that that made me scream out of terror for the first time in my stay at the boarding house! I heard severel thumps and thuds as the rest of the brotherhood came running to Todds room,but stopped at what they saw before them! I turned to see them with thur mouths open and staring at the sight before the in disbelief! Todds room was clean! And not Brotherhood clean eathier!I mean as in Summers clean!



"Wheres Toad?" Fred asked looking around.Pietro started zipping around Todd's room loking any where Todd could hide,but stopped labruptly by the trash can and pulled something out of it."What ya got there Pie' ?" Lance asked walking over to him.Pietro turned to look at us,his eyes threatening to pop out of his skull! Lance took what appeared to be a magazine out of the trash can.Lance looked around at every body with the same look my brother had on and then dashed out of the room and begin going through each room calling Todd's name.

I looked back to Pietro to see a scared look on his face."Pietro whats going on?"I asked confused.Pietro the cleared his throat and said "Toad would never throw these away no matter what!"He then tossed me a book entiteled 'The adventures of Frog-Man and Fly!'. I looked back to him and asked,"Why not?",a little confused as to why he had books in the first place."Becouse" Pietro began,"They used to belong to his brother." He said in a loud whisper.



My eyes grew wide upon hearing toad had a brother."I-I-I thought he was an only child!" I stamered out. "He...didnt used ta be." Fred said. I looked up at him to see pained expression on his face. "What do you mean 'used to'?" I chocked out dreading where this was going. Pietro sat down on the edge of Todds bedd and began to explain."Have you ever wandered why Toad's room is bigger than every one elses?" I could only nod."Well... Toad had a brother that joined The Brotherhood before you came here. Toad didnt used to be the way he is now."He said looking a the floor.

Fred then spoke up. "His brother could heal almost any thing,he gave Toad those books the day he..he.."Tears began to roll down his face."He died." Lance said walking in and finishing for Fred. "Died?How?" Was all I could ask. Fred looked down before he began."Toad was out back pouting becouse he thought we forgot his birthday.We were going to give him a surprise party when he came back in,but...."He fell silent tyring to speak between sobs.

Then Pietro began."We waited for him to come back in,but after an hour or so,we sent Fred out to get him but stopped at the back door.I...I..I went to see wat he was looking at and what I saw made my heart sink into my gut. Toad was hanging from a tree with a branch shoved through his chest.When Johny,Toads brother, came to see what was wrong,he saw him hanging like that,he ran almost as fast as I did.

Lance picked up after Pietro."There was blood every where when we got him down.Johny healed him as much as he could,but Toad still wasnt breathing.Johny looked up at us with tears in his eyes And said, 'Tell him I'm allways watching over him!' , before we could ask what he meant, he started to glow like he did when he was going to heal some one But he started to glow brighter than he normaly did until we had to cover our eyes.

"When we could see again, Toad was sitting up looking at us with a confused look on his face then his grew wide when he saw all of the blood on us and looked down at his chest. Then he looked round for Johny,but when he didnt see him,he asked where he was already knowing he wasnt going to like the answer."Fred finished.

"After that Todd started acting like he didnt care about anything,untill you came here."Pie' said looking at me."We may not always show it,but we do care for him like a little brother! But You,YOU TREAT HIM LIKE TRASH!!"By now tears were flowing down my cheaks,I turned to run but Pie' blocked my path and began screaming again."WHEN YOU CAME HERE, HE BEGAN TO SMILE AGAIN.BUT EVERY TIME HE LOOKED AT YOU IN ANY WAY YOU DIDNT LIKE,YOU'D BLAST HIM!!!!!" I didnt no what to say.All I could do was stammer."I-I-I-I.." I guese I passed out after that becouse Iwoke up in my bed.I looked over at wall clock to see it was Around two o'clock.



There was a knock on the door."Wanda,You okay?" It was Lance."Go away!" I said, tears streaming down my eyes.He walked in and said"I'll just leave your birthday presents on your dressor."He Then turned and left.It took me a few seconds to figure out what he said."Birthday?" Isaid to my self while looking at the presents on my dressor then to the callender."Ohmygawd!" I breathed.I had forgotten my own birthday!

I walked over and picked up the first present but stopped when I saw who it was from.The card read'Happy B'day Wanda. From:Todd.'.Stapled to the back was a reciept from the most expensive store in the mall."He couldnt have....."But my voice cought in my throwt when I saw what he got me.A long scarlet leather trench coat.It must have cost him a fortune!The nI remembered what I did to him.

I put it on and headed down stairs.I passed Lance's room When he aked "Where're you going ?" Ididnt stop walking but called back,"I'm going to find Todd!"
