Pepper Ann, after dentention, ventured off in the direction of Milo's house. She was dreading the thought of assisting Venus di Milo with his "goo from the deep" or whatever he had called it. However, her policy of "Help a friend if he's in need (as long as it's convenient)" moseyed her along.
She didn't bother knocking on the door to his art studio/garage. His mom and stepdad had begrudgingly allowed him to transform their junked up garage into an even more junked up artist's musing room.
Nicky, who had had delcimer class, but hadn't had detention was already helping Milo find the right paint colors he decided to use: goo green, slime green, puke green, sunflower gold, and dead tree brown.
Pepper Ann decided to help mix the paint.
In a blender. With no cover.
"Pepper Ann!" Nicky cried, covering her face to protect herself from the spraying globs of paint.
Milo found it inspirational. "It reminds me of a scene from 'The Day Death Globs Rained from Mars'," he remarked, gladly.
"Easy for you to say," Nicky grumbled, trying to wash out a stain on her sky blue shirt. "You're wearing a smock."
"Okay, P.A., just grab whatever's left of that paint and set it over here," Milo said, gesturing toward a papier mache replica of his movie monster. The creature was three feet high, its "claws" in a snarling position facing the window.
Milo stroked the monster with his brush and the disgusting green color, in the way that only an obsessive artist can.
Unfortunately, upon painting the creature's head, the "ear" chipped off and fell onto the desk. "Oh, no! My baby!" Milo wailed. "Guys! Glue! STAT!"
Nicky, who had watched the scene unfold, raced to the paint closet in search of paint. Pepper Ann, who had been playing a handheld video game, snapped to attention and search through her backpack for a bottle of Elmer's glue.
Nicky, upon finding the crazy glue, calmly went back to Milo to help him out. Pepper Ann, upon finding the bottle that had spilled throughout her backpack, jumped up and ran to help Milo. Unfortunately, before they reached the rising artist, the two friends collided, smashing into each other, spilled the glue all over each other, the monster, and Milo.
Stunned, the three friends and the monster, whom Milo affectionately named Petie, sat on the floor, their bodies stuck together with the bonds of friendship and glue.
"Well, that's just typical," Pepper Ann remarked.

NoV: The end! I know a weird ending to a weird story.
