WOOT!!! Many thanks to BeBopALula, nanystagerat, smashing, and JigokuHana for reviewing!!!!

I plan to show Pirelli's true colors in this chapter, which will probably make me hate myself. ((I love Edward Sanders/Toby with a PASSION, so making him get beat up killed me on the inside... D:))

Pirelli is a gay-talian. True sir, true.

I am going to marry Edward Sanders. Keep your hands off ladies. ;D

I still don't own Johnny Depp.

READ, REVIEW, AND ENJOY!!!!


Refresher: His employer spoke for the first time, in an accent that was so over the top, it was almost comical. "Jess, we will mos' deffeneentlee 'ave an... eenterestinck time together." Pirelli offered a smile and a hand to wards Toby. "Come boy. Let us go." Toby nodded and stepped forward, feeling that this man was to nice to be true. It didn't feel right, how kind he was acting. And that's EXACTLY what Tobias thought it was, acting. Nevertheless, it was a place away from this hell house, so he stepped out the door with Pirelli, hoping a praying to God that a nice life had come to him at last.

Toby stared in disbelief at the face of the twisted man whom he owed his loyalty to.

"Well?"

Toby still did not answer, just blinked, giving Pirelli a blank expression. He couldn't't believe it...he had sold his soul from the devil's henchmen to the devil himself. A slight tick of irritation showed on Pirelli's face.

"I said, doo ve 'ave an undeerstandink?"

Still not receiving an answer, Pirelli raised a hand and smacked Tobias across the face, which sent the small boy to the ground, sprawled across the gravel. Pirelli strode over to him, and aggressively placed a foot on his back, pressing Tobias's ribcage against the ground. This prevented his from standing, so he couldn't't even if he had wanted to. Toby gave a small nod of the head, but it was not because he was scared that if he did not answer Pirelli he would be beaten. He had been beaten many times at the work house. No, he nodded because dirt was invading his mouth and nostrils, though he did fear that if angered too much, Pirelli may KILL him. So he nodded his head, and the foot was removed from his back. Tobias stood up slowly, brushing dirt from his trousers and shirt. "Shall we go sir?" he inquired politely, though his insides were boiling with rage. Pirelli nodded and pointed to an incredibly large, overly embellished bag. There was a giant gold buckle on the front, and flowers in gold print dotted the blue material.

"Yoo...yoo take zat."

Toby nodded and attempted to pick up the bag, but dropped it almost immediately, for a foul stench arose from the seams, pervading his nose and nearly gagging him.

"Erm...I beg your pardon sir...but wots in the bag?"

Pirelli looked down at Toby and once again gave him the smile that so repulsed Tobias.

"My eelixir."

Toby shot a glance at the bag, then turned his attention back to Pirelli.

"Elixir...sir?"

He gave Pirelli a puzzled look, and Pirelli reached down, unhooking the great golden latch on the ridiculous blue bag. He rummaged around for a few moments, then pulled out a bottle filled with a yellow liquid, consistant with the color, and aroma, of piss. Toby took a step closer to Pirelli and cringed at the stench.

"Sir?"

Pirelli ingrored Toby and smiled at the bottle as if it was a long lost friend. He unscrewed the lid, letting the punjant aroma amplify in the air. Tobias covered his nose with a hand, and used all of the power in him not to wretch. The smell was that of rotting piss, and it was worse than anything Tobias had ever smelled before.

"Ah...yes. My eelixir. My...MEERICLE eelixir." Pirelli raised the bottle to his nostrils, inhaling the stench as if it was the sweetest perfume in the world. Pirelli was still smiling his smile, and it looked to Toby that Pirelli and the bottle should just go and elpoe, for the way the man was acting.

"Beggin' your pardon sir...but what on earth could be makin' vat bottle smell so bad? Bloody awful, that is." Toby coughed and shook his head, as if that would push away the smell.

Pirelli looked into the clear glass of the bottle and spun it in his hands. "Rub it on yoor head...it gros yoor hair." He sharply turned his head to Tobias and smiled his repulsive smile.

"Seelee boy...lavitoriees are haard too come by these days"

It took a moment for what Pirelli had just said to sink in. When he finally understood, Toby's eyes widened, and his expression was one of complete disbelief. It COULDN'T be...the idea was TOO disgusting!

"You...you mean sir...that you're gonna sell your...piss as a hair growth elixir?" Toby was horrified at the thought, and gaped at the bottle as if it was a giant beetle. He swallowed, and stood just a centimeter, so that he too could look into the glass.

"Singor Pirelli...?"

"Vat?"

"Does rubbing that stuff...that piss on your head REALLY make your hair grow?" Toby couldn't remove his eyes from the yellow liquid, though it repulsed him.

Pirelli laughed, and bent down to a spot where his eyes were exactly at Toby's level, and spoke without his accent for the second time.

"Of course not, and they don't know that. But then again..." he patted Toby's head and stood at full height. "I'm not the one selling it."


To clear up some confusion, of ourse Pirelli is selling the product, but he isnt out there every day trying to get people to buy it. So he is making Toby do all the endorsement for it. Yeah...BALLIN!!
