Title: Running With the Devil
Author: TWBasketcase
A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews, they are very inspiring :) especially with some of the good ideas you are giving me indirectly! Hehehe I read some of this back to myself and I just laugh…this fic is making my muse go on over drive though which is a VERY GOOD thing! I think I will have chap 31 of 'Basket Case' up real soon. Thanks all.
A/N 2: Any fics that I mention: do not be insulted by any comments of your work. I respect everyone's view as a writer as well as taking your time to post your stories. I just wrote what I think would happen if they read them…because clearly none of the characters of this movie are homosexual…since John has Claire and Ally has Andy and Bry has Niagara Falls.

Chapter 4 – Oh Dear God No!

Andy swallowed, "We were just looking at all these stories about us…what the hell is slash?"

Brody threw her head back and laughed; and laughed and laughed and laughed until Bender got very annoyed and threw a sandwich at her. She stopped laughing and wiped a few tears from her eyes, "…why don't you read it?"

Andy looked at her with uncertainty, "I think I am scared…"

Brody pursed her lips together hard, "Just do it…what harm can be done?"

Andy's form slumped, "That's what I am scared of…my ego, my pride, my dignity…"

Brody sighed over dramatically, "Just do it, Clark…you're a man, not a pussy."

Bender snorted and Andy shot him a glare, "Alright, alright."

The five friends turned their faces back to the screen and Andy clicked on the title, 'Sequester'. Brody bit her bottom lip and folded her arms over her chest. They sat in total silence for a few moments until Claire let out a very high pitched squeal and doubled over in laughter…Brian and Allison following suit only moments later. Brody had a hard time keeping her own in as she saw the paleness of Andy's face and the absolute look of horror on Bender's. He looked back to Brody, "People actually write shit like this?"

Brody sighed, "Yeah but it is all artistic expression you know."

Andy's jaw dropped and he gave the nastiest look the blonde jock could muster, "You call that artistic expression? I feel violated!"

Bender snorted, "Yeah at least I wasn't the bitch."

Claire laughed wildly once again and the others laughed harder. But Claire was laughing so violently that Brody was afraid she may have an aneurysm from it. Andy's face was still white as a sheet, "Do I look gay?"

"No, but you do roll around on the floor with other guys…"

He stared back at John, "Are you enjoying this?"

Bender immediately stopped smirking and scowled, "No I am not enjoying it…"

"But?"

Claire laughed even harder at the word 'but' and had to actually sit down on the bed to keep her knees from buckling, "Oh my god…no way did I just hear that…" she continued in a fit of laughing hiccups. John just stared at her with one eye brow cocked, "…but she certainly is."

Andy shook his head, "Well it is just fiction it is not real."

Bender nodded, "Will never happen."

"Nope never."

They both nodded and then moved to opposite ends of the room. Claire smoothed her hair back and took a deep breath, "Well that was interesting."

Everyone looked at her as she made her way back to the computer; she took a seat and began to look through some more titles. Brody looked back to the rest of the group and Allison looked ready to speak, "Is that kind of stuff written about a lot?"

Brody shook her head, "No that one is the only one…there was one started about you and Claire but they stopped writing it before anything happened."

She raised her eyebrows, "Thank god."

Brody cocked a grin, "Most of them are Monday fics."

Brian folded his arms, "Monday fics?"

Brody rolled her eyes, "Yeah after the initial Saturday detention…what happened on Monday. It is a very over rated topic…I mean some are good but there are too many of them to distinguish one from the other."

"Have you ever written a Monday fic?" Brian asked curiously.

Brody thought over her words carefully, "Yes and no."

"Meaning?"

"I have written about what happened on Monday but not an entire fic based on Monday…if you catch my drift."

Brian nodded, "I get ya."

"Good. I never really wanted to do something that everyone else has already done; I wanted mine to stand out."

"Hey Brody?" Claire called from the computer.

Brody regarded her and she seemed to have a confused look on her face; it looked like she had been reading through some stories, "Why isn't Brian in any of these fics?"

Brian's face fell, "What do you mean?"

Brody furrowed her brows, "There is like two or three Brian centric fics, but most people like to focus on the couples."

"The couples?" Brian asked confused, "You mean most of the people on this site are the romantic-pansy types?"

Brody nodded, "unfortunately."

"But why? I thought people were interested in the friendships that we made…our different personalities…I'm not the boring one am I?"

Brody shook her head violently, "No…it's impossible for any one of you to be the boring one because each of you are heavily related to by all the fans. It's just that people…well they are naturally shippers."

Bender cocked a brow, "Shippers?"

"They root and root for 'aw' moment between two characters. There a lot of John and Claire shippers, and even more Andy and Allison shippers."

Brian's frown deepened, "Then why don't they just write me in a girlfriend?"

Brody shrugged, "Some people do…some people have written you brainy girlfriends and other people wrote you in a princess."

Brian smiled slyly, "Really?"

Brody nodded, "Yeah but there still isn't enough of you though. Even in those stories you are still on the back burner."

Brian's face turned red, "Is there anything good about me?"

"Two stories off the top of my head."

"That's pathetic!"

"I know…"

"So why don't you write me in more then?"

"Well I…"

"See! You hate me too! I really am an interesting person you know! I can drive, and cook, and I am a brown belt, I can also play the keyboard, and speak four different languages…"

"Brian!" Andy and Bender yelled simultaneously. Bender glared at Andy and turned back to Bry, "It ain't no big deal, bro…chill."

Brian clenched his jaw, "That's easy for you to say! Every single story on the first page has you in it!"

Bender shrugged, "We have been through this before…witty, funny, dark, and good looking."

Claire laughed as Brian just got angry, "This is totally not fair…I'm the one who wrote the friggin essay….I came up with the name and everyone's label! I told Vernon off! I'm the one who wanted to kill myself…isn't that enough to give some one ideas right there?"

Brody looked at Brian with wide eyes, "Well we don't wanna look at Big Bry as a suicidal maniac."

Brian sighed over dramatically and threw his hands in the air, "That's it I quit...I can't ever get through to anyone…"
