AN: So sorry for not updating sooner! HOA coming back gave me inspiration, though.
The days following Joy's big reveal were stressful at the least.
Nina wouldn't say a word to anyone, Fabian seemed extremely confused, and everyone else spent their days alternating between their normal activities and glaring at Joy.
If Joy had been a bit nicer; if it had been a brighter day; if a new romantic comedy had come out on DVD; she would have given up the scheme for the fact that even she had emotions sometimes. She was borderline neutral to any feelings that came her way, but sometimes there were inexplicable moments of humanity mixed in with her evil streak.
She could love Fabian, be best friends with Patricia, and be civil to everyone else in the house when really she felt like she had been replaced. She wanted to be the one with Fabian, the one everyone liked, not the one everyone glared at.
She wasn't sure if her evil plan was working to her advantage. She was sitting here, with everyone mad at her. And Mick would find out eventually that it was his baby. She was sure of it. He was dumb, but not as dumb as Amber, or that Finn Hudson dude from her Glee DVDs. He knew they had hooked up.
While Joy was pondering all these things, Nina came into the room. Everyone perked up. She looked sad, but she had a bit of a mischievous glint in her eyes. She suggested a group of Never Have I Ever to the group, who loved games. Joy tried to run upstairs to hack Victor's Facebook- he was still away, and he had probably forgotten to log off on his computer. However, Nina insisted that she played and everyone was surrounding her. She resolved to just lie if anything came up that would make her sound suspicious.
The game started out easily with a stupid question. "Never Have I Ever….kissed anyone?" said Nina, and they all took a piece of candy from the pile that was there.
Then, Nina asked a important question. "Never have I ever…lied about who I hooked up with."
She looked straight at Joy. No one moved, obviously not having done that. Joy had. She was cooler than all of them, she was sure of it. She almost took a handful of candy to prove her coolness, but then remembered that no one could find out.
When the game was over, she lay on the couch, not able to sleep.
She was restless; a bit nostalgic, and thinking about her plan and its evil possibilities. It wasn't all that bad, really, for her. If it worked out, she had what she wanted. The problem was that if it didn't, she'd be stuck with a baby. Though she could always give it up, she wouldn't have gained anything from making this happen anyway.
She sighed, flipping on Doctor Who, her new favorite show, and watched it until she fell asleep.
The next day, she decided to get pranky and started singing a song called "The Joke Is On You," as she pranked everyone.
She destroyed almost all of the rooms in the house.
Then, she hid in the woods.
