Liz woke in her bed in gallows manor. Her eyes slowly opened, then she shot up in bed, the memories coming back to her. Had it all been a dream? Then she looked at her bedside table, and saw a note and a small cube.

She picked up the note, and read it.

"Liz.

I'm alive.

Sorry if I scared you. I was just feeling a bit overdramatic.

Liz, I have always loved you. I will miss you eternally.

It's ok, though. Kid makes a cuter couple with you anyways.

(teardrops stained the paper.)

Our love was never meant to be. If only I could have cloned you… if only…

I love you, Elizabeth Marie Thompson."

A huge scraggedy purple Z was at the bottom of the page, along with a extra couple lines.

"p. s. the cube is a wishmaker. When you rub it, it will grant you one wish, no matter what it is. I gave it to you all, in order to thank you for returning me to power of my ship. I couldn't have done it without you.

p. s. s. I left a few presents for you downstairs, also part of my thanks for helping me with my ship.

p. s. s. s. give patty my love, and kid my regards."

Liz almost cried. It was obvious Z was suffering greatly, but he was being strong for her. He would be alone for all eternity now…

Liz wiped tears from her eyes, and walked out of her room, to the familiar sights of gallows manor. God, it felt like years had passed since she last set foot in this hallway!

As she walked down the hall towards the stairs, a hand reached out from the staircase. Judging by the pale skin and tuxedoed arm, it was kid.

"wait one moment, liz!" said Kid, his hand forming the "one second" gesture. "I have a surprise for you!"

then the hand retracted, and came back with a boombox. Liz covered her mouth. What was he up to now.

Kid set the boombox down and pressed the play button. The "sixflags" theme began to blare out from its speakers. Kid leapt out from the staircase, then, and began to dance like he had never danced before.

As Liz watched him in half confusion, half amusement, she saw what he was so estatic about.

The stripes on his head now stretched all the way around! He was finally symmetrical.

Liz put her other hand on her mouth and stared for a few seconds, wide-eyed. Then she rushed over and leapt into Kid, interrupting his dance. "I'm so happy for you!" she cried, showering his face with kisses.

After a few minutes she got up to reveal Kid, who had kiss marks and a dopey grin on his face. Then they both got up, and went downstairs.

As they went down the stairs into the living room, they gasped.

3 huge piles of toys dominated the living room, each with a sign with a letter: a pink P, a black D, and a blue L.

Patty was by the P pile, unwrapping presents like a machine. "guys look! I got 7 giraffes, a hello polly makeup kit, a new bathing suit, a dozen care bears…" she rattled off more presents she got as Kid and Liz went over to their piles; Kid the black D, liz the blue L.

Liz stared at the pile, it went very nearly to the ceiling. And the ceiling was almost 25 feet above her. She picked a present at random. It had a note attatched to it: "this should help prevent a certain one of Kid's freakouts. – Z"

She opened the present, and looked at its contents with a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and just plain glee.

"breast enhancement pills! Garunteed to make your breasts bigger or your money back!"

Liz laughed, and set them down next to her. She could use those later.

After a solid 5 minutes of opening presents, the piles seemed no smaller.

"so patty?" said Liz as she unwrapped. "what did YOU wish for?"

"giraffe." Said Patty, as she continued unwrapping presents causally.

Liz gave a small chuckle. "patty, you already have a thousand stuffed giraffes."

"whoever said anything about 'stuffed'?"

Liz and Kid whipped their heads over to patty, who was grinning deviously.

"That I have to see later." Said Kid, resuming to unwrapping his presents. "anyways, what did YOU wish for, Liz?"

"you know… nothing yet." Liz pulled the small cube out of her pocket.

What would she wish for? Infinite wealth? Eternal life? Irresistible beauty?

Then she thought of Z, and how he would be lonely for the rest of his incredible life.

She made her wish, closing her hands around the cube, and rubbing it as she whispered her wish.

When she opened her hands, the cube was gone.

ZZZZZZZZ

"bartender! Hit me."

Z was in one of the slimiest bars in the Zship, slugging down drinks like no tomorrow. His sub-god nature prevented him from getting drunk, but that didn't stop him from trying.

"hey there, handsome." Came a female voice. Out of the corner of his eye, Z saw a figure sit down next to him.

"I don't do autographs." He muttered as he slugged down another shot.

"oh, I don't want an autograph…"

"ugh. Look, I'm not in the mood for – WHA!" Z looked up, and was shocked at the sight of who sat next to him.

Liz sat on the stool next to him, in a seductive red dress.

"Liz? You-you changed your mind and used your wish to be with me?" asked Z, excited.

"mmm… something like that. C'mon, handsome." She said, pulling Z's hand and leading him out of the bar.

Z smiled. Life was about to get a lot better from now on…

ZZZZZZZZ

"so let me get this straight…"

Kid sat at the big table of gallows manor, looking at Liz, who sat across from him.

"you used your wish to create an advanced clone of yourself for Z, so he could be happy?"

"yup." Said Liz, finishing off her insta-milkshake. (Another gift from Z).

"who knew you were so nice?" said Kid, raising an eyebrow.

"oh, I'm not nice. Well, most of the time." Said Liz, half-closing her eyes as she looked at Kid, getting up and walking around the table.

"You're the nicest-" kid began, but then was cut off when liz pressed her lips to his, hard.

"c'mon, tiger." Said Liz, taking Kid's hand, and dragging him towards the nearest bedroom.

"lemme show you just how mean I can be."
