Hey, I saw Megamind on Thursday and loved it. Megamind is like a big blue Chester. Hmm, that sounds like a good parody...

Abby looked down, uncharacteristically shy. Ty patted her on the shoulder. "I… sometimes has a bit of an anger problem… especially at Paige." Abby glared angrily before blushing. "It was Monday, after school. Paige she made volleyball captain instead of me, and that morning she got the lead role in the play!"

Abby's knuckles turned white from how hard she was squeezing her hands. "She just kept… mocking me about it!" Abby took a deep breath and then continued looking sad instead of the mad she was wearing a few moments ago.

"We were in the locker room, just after she became… you know what… Paige was shaving her legs after her shower, all the while mocking me about it!" Abby took another deep breath before continuing. It was clear that this was the part she didn't want to think about. "And so… I ran up to her, grabbed the electric razor… a-and…" Abby swallowed down another gulp of sweet air before she let the sour truth flow from her lips. When she spoke again she was more coherent. "I pulled down the electric razor down the middle of her hair." The rest of them stared at her.

"So that's why she was wearing her hair in a braided ponytail." Lab Rat whispered to Kat.

Kat stomped on his foot, angrily, but inside felt more like shaking Abby's hand or glomping on to her. Paige always made fun of Boo-Boo.

Naomi's mouth dropped open with dual emotions. She was happy, in a guilty way at least, that Paige got what was coming to her, but on the other hand her record wasn't squeaky clean either, so she shouldn't be judging.

Ty had already known about it, so he knew the story wasn't done. But would Abby be strong enough to finish it?

Chester's eyes were wide and almost awestruck. "You gave her a reverse Mohawk?" His expression then became tranquil. "You gave her a reverse Mohawk."

Abby glared at Chester. "DON'T ACT LIKE THAT'S A GOOD THING!" She shouted. Chester recoiled, scared. Abby felt her heart break. She scared the one boy who wasn't afraid of her or looked at her funny. "I'm sorry. It's just…" Abby sighed. "The real thing was what happened after…"

Chester looked down and said quietly. "It's my fault, I was being selfish. Please continue…"

"I could have seriously hurt her, and all I could think of was if I was going to have to miss the debate meeting because of this!" This was when Abby broke down into tears. "What kind of person does that?" She sobbed. "I'm a horrible person!"

She then felt a pair of warm, if somewhat smelly, arms around her. It was Chester, hugging her from behind. He whispered right in her ear. "Thank you… It seems you saved me twice this week."

ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI! ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI! ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI!

Boil nearly dropped the files when he saw the figure in the doorway, but it was only Joe, the janitor. Joe leaned against the doorway casually. "You know you aren't allowed to read student files."

Boil laughed slightly. "Y-you think I was? No, I was just… reorganizing them! The Ts were behind the Us instead of before them." Joe leaned over him. "Huh, do you have any friends with you to back you up?"

Boil sighed and reached for his wallet.

ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI! ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI! ABBSTER! KAT-RAT! TYOMI!

Everybody stared at Chester, especially Abby. He released her before explaining. "Remember when I said that I didn't kill myself because I heard a rumor? That was the rumor." Everybody was still staring at him. Chester pulled up his sleeve showing a small cut, about an inch wide which had already scabbed over.

"I was sitting in one of the stalls, in that bathroom," Kat glared at Lab Rat again. "Just about to kill myself when these two guys came in talking about how this crazy chick- his words not mine, Abby-"

"It's okay."

"Who gave Paige -who had pushed me over the edge- what they called a reverse Mohawk. It was like divine intervention, some great being smiling on me for the first time in my life! I thought karma was finally giving a blow for the underdog." He grabbed Abby's hands and shook them happily. Then he latched onto her and kissed her.

A few moments later he realized what he was doing and leapt off, shocked and startled. The whole room was staring at him, except for Abby, who was still in the 'I just got kissed by a guy I met about eight hours ago and smells like death in a toaster… and I liked it?' face. Chester blushed deeply and flipped his hood up and pulled it so tight none of his face was shown.

Abby was still in shock. She had gotten over the fact that Chester had kissed her. She could understand why he would do that, he was happy for what she did to Paige. And strangely, she was too. She wasn't glad that she did it, but if she didn't she wouldn't have met him. But at the same time, she didn't want it to be because of just that, she wanted him to have kissed her because he loved her. And that's when she realized she loved him. He had this wonderful innocence about him, despite all that happened to him, not to mention he was funny and knew just what to say to her to calm her down, but all of those weren't even the main reason why she loved him.

He was like those toys in the smaller toy chest back at the daycare. She didn't play with them just because nobody else played with them, although that was an important reason. She played with them because she knew they weren't new, they didn't work as well as the other toys, but she was like that too. Ty was the new baby and so they had played more with him. Maybe that was why worked so hard at doing all those sports and plays and extracurriculars was so she could be a toy in the new chest in the eyes of others, only now she didn't want to be in the bigger chest, because Chester was in the smaller chest.

Chester was broken, shattered, thrown against the wall and stepped on one too many times. And that's why he was perfect.

She looked at Chester with love before realizing something. She ran over and pulled his hood down and said three special words that probably saved his life. "BREATHE CHESTER BREATHE!"

Chester took a huge gulp of air then looked at Abby embarrassed. "A-Abby, I can explai-" He was stopped by Abby grabbing the collar of his hoodie and kissed him. Their first kiss lasted a few moments and felt like it, their second lasted a minute and felt like it lasted forever.

How many non-Abbster people still out there? I see about... five. (Niki, I'm counting you as two.) And yes, that is Sloppy Joe who is the janitor. Oh, and Abby took about three deep breaths.
