Just a side note: forgive me if I say April instead of Sophie or Frida. I'm updating a variety of stories that contain people of different names and I might get messed up and not see it.

Manny and Frida were a bit scared to confront Sophie about her apparent anger. When she got mad, she looked like one of those people you did not mess with when you were angry. Frida whispered things like "Should we say anything?" to Manny, but every time Manny just said no, leave her be for a bit and let her cool down because she looked like she was about ready to kill someone.

After punching her locker open, Manny figured it was time to say something about it.

"Uhh, is everything okay?" Manny asked in the most polite way he could. Sophie sighed angrily before speaking.

"My mom lied to me about something important, let's just leave it at that." Sophie explained, exasperated. Manny and Frida were curious as to why she was so annoyed, because they knew parents told little white lies all the time and no kid they knew cared that much, but if it angered her then it angered her and they didn't want to mess with an angry person because angry people weren't themselves when they were mad, and Manny especially knew that with the powers that he had. Manny figured that curiosity killed the cat, and that was that.

Frida however, did not really care about curiosity killing the cat.

"What did she lie about?" asked Frida.

"Oh, I had this friend when I was six and she told me that he was moving away because his mom got a promotion or something. But when I saw him yesterday the ugly truth came out. They only moved away because they didn't want me hanging out with him for some reason." Sophie knew exactly why their parents did not desire her to be around Ryan anymore, but she couldn't tell Manny and Frida because she knew it involved her being an angel and she could not have them find out because it would be hasta la vista to another school she was just getting used to. And she'd been over this a million times and would not explain it to herself again: she liked Leone School and Miracle City and actually cared about them living. It was just too bad her father did not. It made her fear that what happened at her old school would repeat itself in this one, and all because her father was mad obsessed with the idea that blood relatives of himself had to take the throne when he was done.

With the bell now having rung, Manny and Frida separated from Sophie to get to their class and as Sophie closed her locker to get to her own class. Sophie was curious to see more of the school than just what her schedule allowed, and she didn't much care for attending history class at the moment; of course, the two thoughts went hand in hand in influencing her to cut class and explore the school.

"Hah, who needs class? Vandalizing stuff with spray-paint is way better!" Manny laughed. Frida agreed with a deviant chuckle as she spray painted a poor drawing of Chakal onto the side of the school building. They laughed more as they continued to spray paint funny drawings onto the side of the building and continued to the next matter of their prank period.

They always devoted at least one period of each week to skipping class and exercising their pranking talents in their own unique ways. It ranged from vandalism to doing something funny to Chakal, and sometimes just the classic placing of plastic wrap over the faculty toilet bowls (which was still Manny's favorite.) Their logic was why lose the ability to prank well just because we have some stupid class to attend? "Pranking is an important part of American culture," Manny often argued once he got in trouble with his father for such things. It was a flimsy excuse in Rodolfo's eyes, but Manny would be Manny and everyone knew that.

"What are you guys doing?" Manny and Frida turned from their spray-paint-Chakal-portraits to see Sophie standing behind them, look of curiosity on her face.

"U-uhh, not vandalizing the school, that's for sure…" Frida stammered, turning to quickly spray paint a tongue sticking out of Chakal's mouth.

"Relax, I can keep a secret." Sophie chuckled. Manny and Frida sighed in relief and continued their destructive antics.

"Do you guys do this regularly or something?" Sophie asked.

"Once a week." Frida answered without turning to Sophie.

"What are you doing cutting class? I thought you were all goodie-goodie." Manny asked, also not bothering to turn to face Sophie when he talked.

"U-uhh, I-I was trying to find my way to the, umm, bathroom!" Sophie lied. She didn't want to be caught doing things like skipping school when she was a symbol of goodness.

"Outside? What are you, a dog?" Frida said.

"I just got a little lost is all!"

"Relax, we don't tell on anyone. Unless they're a villain…you're not evil, are you?" Sophie chucked.

"No, don't worry. There's no chance of that." Sophie heard the bell ring and separated from her friends and went to class.

In a darkened alley on a run-down street resided a man unfamiliar to the town of Miracle City, and unlike the citizens of this weird town, he didn't fear this so called 'Calle Porqueria'. Granted, all the rumors that vicious bad guys in the city resided here, but they didn't scare him. Nothing scared him. He peeked his head out of the alley to see the brainless tough guys still running around beating people up. It wasn't a bother to him; he just wanted to know what to be prepared for when walking down the street. He put on his jacket as to hide his dark black wings, and then proceeded to walk down the street. If anyone got in his way, which 99.9% of the streetgoers did, he simply pushed them out of his way like it was no effort at all; which it wasn't. He grew tired of this street, and thankfully soon was off it. As soon as he was off of Calle Porqueria, it seemed to be less bothersome in the large Miracle City.

He knew that there had to be someone in this useless town that knew where Soppahhatael and Diane lived. He didn't have a good idea of who to ask first, but it had to be someone in a place that he knew Soppahhatael or Diane would go. They can't hide from me, he thought, I know everything about them. They knew no escape. He would have a successor to his throne. The Valencia bloodline would stay in power for as long as he lived—which was forever. He had no weaknesses. Or so he thought…

He came to what looked like the local school. He hoped whatever kid he saw first lacked the common knowledge not to talk to strangers. Luckily, that was true. A dark, gothic-looking girl was walking from the school when he asked her if she knew where Soppahhatael Bordenkircher lived. She confusedly—and with an attitude—asked who the heck that was. He sighed, deemed her useless and moved on to the next child. A proud-looking curly haired boy with a scar over his eye answered 'no, sorry' and he and his blue-haired friend moved along like he was nothing. How dare they underestimate me, he thought.

Before he could find another child, he spotted Soppahhatael walking out of the school. He scrammed quickly before he was spotted. The last thing he needed was to be spotted by Soppahhatael because then he'd be busted and his perfect plan would be ruined and he'd have to think of a new plan altogether, which he didn't want to do. He decided to go into town and see if anyone knew where Diane Bordenkircher lived. Maybe the matured adults of the town would be just as irresponsible in telling him the address he needed, and furthermore having the nonsense to talk to a total stranger.

Then he thought of something. Didn't town hall have the town's addresses and everything? So why didn't he think of it earlier?

The very next thing Nezznus did was head down to City Hall.

*dramatic BAH BAH BAAAHHHHH* idnt it great? Yeah, overestimating ik. It was still good, and it came sooner than the last update did so yay! review.
