Happy belated birthday, Dina! Thanks for all the support I've gotten from you since starting fanfiction back right before the start of 2013. A short chapter like this doesn't really do much to show my appreciation, but it's definitely there!

Chapter 14: A Little Knowledge

"What's wrong with you, Beat?"

"Oh, Rhyme…dude, you're messed up, yo!"

"Excuse me?! And why am I messed up exactly?"

"Girls in general are!"

"This about your conversation with Shiki? What did she tell you exactly?"

"Well, it started off normally…she told me the obvious crap. Be sweet, be a gentleman, pay for dinner, blah, blah, blah."

"Uh huh…"

"And then she gave me a talk about the turds and the fleas."

"The t…you mean the birds and the bees?"

"Sure, I dunno. Anyway, she told me about…something."

"Something?"

"Yeah…um…monthly, err, issues."

"Oh!"

"Yeah…"

"Poor Beat…a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

"Y'know, that might be the truest thing you've ever told me."

"If it took you being mentally scarred to appreciate me, maybe I should ask Shiki to explain childbirth to you."

"Please don't….wait, why are you gettin' on your phone? Who are you callin', yo?!"
