Later that night, Trent and his band were kind enough to let Beavis and Deidra sleep inside of their camper's bedroom upon finding out that Deidra was pregnant. Deidra of course had her complaints about the offer but she soon began to feel safe once she was nuzzled-up, underneath the warm safety of her boyfriend's body, in the small bed of the R.V.'s bedroom. Deidra and Beavis peacefully cuddled each other as they slept when Beavis was awoken in the middle of the night by a sudden, loud, constant banging at the R.V.'s door. The blond silently questioned why the loud banging had not awoken anyone else as he made his way over to the R.V.'s door to answer it. Beavis was horrified to see Deidra's dad standing on the other side of the door as the older man forced his way into the R.V. and approached the blond, menacingly.
"You! I-I thought we left you behind heh-heh..." Beavis stammered as he nervously took a few steps away from the father of his girlfriend.
"Don't think you can keep me away from my daughter for long...You've had your little fun; now she's coming back home with me where she belongs..." Deidra's father growled.
"She doesn't wanna go with you, butthole!" Beavis bravely shouted back at the man.
"Neither of you have a choice...There's no way I'm going to let my daughter be with a piece of trailer-trash like you..." Deidra's father shoved Beavis to the floor before beginning to head toward the bedroom. Something inside of Beavis snapped upon being called, 'trailer trash' as he picked himself back up, from the camper's floor and snatched Trent's guitar from the passenger's seat. Without warning, the blond then proceeded to raise Trent's guitar above his head before smashing it into the back of the head of Deidra's father. He brought the blood-covered guitar up for another strike, sending it smashing onto the top of the older man's head as Deidra's father dropped to his knees.
Blood splattered all over Beavis and the R.V. as he raised the guitar above his head and delivered a fatal-blow to the head of his girlfriend's father, smashing it completely along with Trent's guitar. A gasp escaped from the blond's lips once he realized what he had just done as his shaking hand dropped what was left of Trent's guitar. A couple of sobs escaped Beavis' lips as he kneeled down, next to the corpse of his girlfriend's father as he knew that he would possibly not only lose Deidra and custody of his child but would possibly be facing a prison-sentence as well. With a shaky hand, the blond placed two fingers upon the neck of Deidra's father's corpse to check for a pulse and tears streamed down his cheeks when he failed to detect one.
"Beavis?! What have you done?!" Deidra shouted as she was suddenly standing in the doorway of the R.V.'s bedroom.
"N-No...wait!" Beavis gasped as more tears fell.
"Beavis! Wake up! Are you okay?!" Beavis was awoken by the sound of Deidra's voice and the feeling of Deidra shaking him. Breathing heavily, the blond sat upright, in the bed and frantically looked around the room. He was relieved that the previous events had only been a dream but he was still unnerved by how real it all felt.
"You were screaming and crying in your sleep; are you okay?!" Deidra questioned, in concern once again as she watched as her boyfriend frantically wiped away his tears.
"Y-Yeah...It was just a bad dream..." Beavis replied, out of breath as he attempted, in vain to maintain a calmer demeanor.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Deidra asked with a concerned tilt of her head.
"N-No! No..." Beavis frantically shook his head as more tears fell.
"Okay! Okay...It's okay..." Deidra soothed as she pulled her boyfriend into a comforting embrace. The couple's tender moment was interrupted, however when Trent had entered their bedroom.
"Trent?! What are you doing in here?! Get out!" Deidra shouted.
"Can I sleep with you guys?" Trent asked with a small smile and a tilt of his head.
"What?! No! Trent, is this a joke?!" Deidra questioned.
"I'm gonna sleep with you..." Was all Trent said in response as he fully entered their bedroom.
"No! Trent! Trent!" Deidra cried out as Trent crawled into bed with her and Beavis, nuzzling his way right in between the couple.
"Ow! You're laying on me!" Beavis complained as Trent cuddled up to him.
"Listen bra, I'm sorry I climbed into bed with you and your girl but let's just get ready for that gig we got, down at the local diner tonight..." Trent apologized to Beavis and Deidra that morning before quickly changing the subject as the couple groggily glared at him, in annoyance.
"Let's start with some practice..." Trent suggested as he tossed a microphone over to Beavis.
"Um...okay! Heh-heh! What do I like...what do I sing? Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis asked as he tapped on the speaker of his microphone to see if it was turned on.
"Just sing whatever pops into your head, blondy..." Trent suggested as he and his band began to practice their music.
"Um...okay! Hm-hm-heh! Now I will tell you what I've done for you; fifty, thousand tears I've cri-i-i-ied! Screaming and deceiving and bleeding for you but you, still won't hear me-e..." Beavis began to sing in an eery tone that sent a chill down Deidra's spine. She knew that part was about Butthead.
"Going under!" Trent chimed in with a smirk as he knew that Beavis was beginning to lose his dependence on his former friend, back in Highland.
"Don't want your hand this time; I'll save myself! Maybe I'll wake up for once, not tormented, daily defeated by you just when I, thought I'd reached, the bottom! IIII-IIII die again..." Beavis continued his song with a bit more feeling laced within his voice. Deidra, Trent and Trent's band all watched in amazement as Beavis' blond curls began to straighten on their own until his blond hair was now as straight as a board, his bangs now draping over one of his eyes.
"I'm going underrrr! Drowning yoooouuuth! I'm falling foreverrrrrr-er-er-er! I've got to break through! I'm, going underrrrrr!" Beavis sang as Trent's band sang his back up.
"What? Heh-heh..." Beavis halted his song upon noticing that everyone was staring at him in both awe and confusion.
"Dude...your hair..." Was all Nicholas could manage to say. Beavis looked into the rearview mirror of Trent's R.V. and once he saw that his hair was suddenly, perfectly straight, he screamed, in a panic before running into the woods to hide himself.
"Beavis, wait!" Deidra called after him, in concern.
"I'll talk to him..." Trent offered with a smirk before following the blond into the woods. Not long after, Beavis had finally calmed down and was now simply strolling through the woods to gather his thoughts.
"It used to be so simple, it was a World I understood...I didn't know what I didn't kno-ow, and life seemed pretty good..." The blond softly began to sing his thoughts as he pondered over just how much he wish he did not now know about humanity.
"But the darkness rises, from somewhere, deep inside of me...The darkness overtakes me...Can I keep, this darkness from, getting free?" He continued his song as he stared down at his reflection in the lake, studying his now-straight hair. He was unaware that Trent was now spying on him with a mischievous smirk plastered across his countenance.
"If I can stay with the light, I know I'll be free and I can start to be whole; I can start to be me! Instead I keep struggling with all that I see, and Deidra, mustn't see the darkness in me! The darkness in me-e-e! She mustn't see the darkness in, meeeeeeeeeee..." He finally finished his song but he was then startled by the sound of Trent slowly clapping his hands as he turned to see his new boss slowly approaching him with that same smirk on his lips.
"Oh! Heh-heh! Hey, Trent! Hm-hm-heh! I was just like...practicing and stuff..." Beavis nervously lied.
"I heard what you were singing blondy...that darkness you've held within you for so long is finally coming to surface..." Trent admitted with a smirk.
"Is this the part where ya kick me and Deidra out?" Beavis nervously asked, followed by a sigh of defeat.
"Nah, nah; ya got it all wrong, blondy...This is a good thing; you're finally breakin' free of that dependance ya had on that little friend of yours and becomin' your own person..." Trent explained as he placed a hand on Beavis' shoulder.
"Really? Heh-heh! Cool...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis chuckled, sinisterly as he let the darkness within him fully take over.
