Nny or Nii-san?

Chapter 03

Johnny really didn't know why he even cared about Squee... though to ease his mind, he decided that it was because they were both outcasts in today's society, though for different reasons. Yet they weren't all that different... both of them were outsiders because they were different... "Enough pondering..." He said to himself. He looked over at his mirror and remembered how he used to think it was liquid... now he really didn't care. All he cared about, he realized, was the little boy in the next room... "DAMN IT! I TOLD YOU ENOUGH PONDERING!" Johnny slapped his forhead.

Squee was in the next room and jumped about three feet at the sudden noise and made his namesake squeek. "N-Nny?"

"Hey! Just ignore that... my mind was misbehaving again and I had to punish it..." Johnny emerged from his room. "So you wanna get a brainfreezy?"

"...um... sure!" Squee followed and thought, 'I'm going to have problems... If I don't already... oh well...'

After they both got the treat, which Johnny paid for with two very red bills, they went home and Squee announced that he was going to the park to play.

"Just be home by sun-down, or the demon-rabbit-babies from Pluto will get you!" Was Jhonny's only reply. He wasn't worried. Squee often went to the park to play. Now that School was out, there were no other children there to harm him, so Johnny never went with him.

"I will!" Squee knew that his guardian was telling the trooth... he had seen one once... it was blue.

"Well he should be back soon..." Johnny said looking out the window. The sun was just resting on the horizon. Suddenly he started to sway on his feet. "I'll just sit down for a few seconds..." He knew he was tried, but he hated sleep. He sat down and stared into the sunset. The soft golden colour had its effect on him, perhaps it was the added stress of raising a child, or maybe it was ment to be, but soon he was in a very deep sleep. A very troubled sleep. More troubled than his life had ever been.

The sun set and the street lights came on, and still Squee did not return.

ok ok ok... I know really short... Well I swear that the next chapter will be longer and alot more exciting!
