Okay…..*Takes a deep breath* I'm just gonna take some time to blabber on longer than usual here. Sorry if you guys were hoping for a long chapter because this is more of well… "A Drabble of Sorts" hehee…this is something quick for me to leave you as a present before the weekend and I will HOPEFULLY be updating by Monday….maybe?:) Sorry I'll try extra hard. ANYWAYS, for everyone that STILL reads my stuff…you guys are just….*explodes with love*. Honestly, without you all I wouldn't keep writing. Now, on to the less than fun stuff. Ordinarily I never respond to negative comments that were designed specifically to hurt me(which was done quite well, bravo if you're reading;D) But I feel that this was not only appropriate but respectable as well. I deserve to be yelled at and even to have my characters insulted. They are shabby and a tad Mary Sue-ish at times.

I want to give a formal apology to everyone who has ever read one of my fics. I am known large and wide as the procrastinating "b with an itch" that starts a story and takes about 3 years to complete it. I was informed that I am also a lazy writer. And I agree with two freakin' thumbs up! In fact, the only reason I'm picking up this story again is so I can finish it and be done with writing for a while. (I also plan to finish Second Chance as a gift). I found a new career path I wish to travel down and this isn't what I want anymore. But this isn't fair to any of you who have read my stories and been so reliable to me for so long. So, that is the second reason I'm finishing this, as a promise to you all that I won't stop and not pick it up again!

So again, please know that I'm sorry. I'm a lazy writer, I'm a bad person, and I happen to find it easier and quicker to reply to a forum post then to update a story. (By the way, RPG can be really fun for character development. Check it out sometime if you want ;D)

With that said and done, please know that I will be updating this semi-regularly. I do actually have a job and stuff that kind of makes it hard to write all the time so bear with me and we'll get through this together.

Thank you for your kindness and also for your cruel honesty, each of which I needed badly. Sorry this took SO LONG! REALLYY! Now onto to the tiny drabble…of sorts. Toodles!

Operation Val: Chapter 19 (Yakko POV is italics, Val POV is normal)

Yakko POV

So Val the "killer" monster stuck around for the weekend…with minimal damage. And before we knew it, a weekend of torment became a week and that into two. I was beginning to think Dot had found out that I had no "Big Plan" to take down Val after all. But eh, she couldn't do any better if she tried. Not that she really tried at all.

About a week and a half since the day we let Val stay with us, Wakko and I walked into Dot's room and found them having a TEA PARTY. Okay so Dot was having the tea party and Val was tied to a tiny chair with a frilly sun hat on her head, but I think they're starting to grow on each other.

I knew the second we let that monster into our lives that one of two things would happen: she's either go completely insane and run screaming for the Beverly Hills, or she's warm up to our adorable natures. Who WOULDN'T warm up me after all? I'm cuter then a baby monkey!

So…yeah. She was cool and we were cool so long as she didn't try and kill us in our sleep or anything. All was fine except for that constant FLIRTING! Seriously! She was SO into me that I had to use a crowbar just t-

Ahem…GET OUT OF MY STORY!

Temper, temper little miss She-devil. We wouldn't want your hair to burst into spontaneous flames…again.

I'll kill you…..I SWEAR IT!

Uh huh suuure….I'm just gonna-HELLOOOOOOO supermodel! By whomever you are!

Boys….Okay so listen, I didn't like them and I ESPECIALLY didn't flirt with them. They just confused me. But I knew that my dad was relying on me and I had a mission to fulfill so any thoughts of becoming friends were thrown instantly out the hypothetical window.

Still…something about them made it almost impossible to be mad….when the pain was directed elsewhere. The torment they inflected was actually funny! Just like the cartoons dad never let me watch during my training. I was actually starting to enjoy myself when my dumb dad decided that I needed a little help.

'Val 2' he called her. HA! As if I could be duplicated! She is more of a pain in my side than the three Warners combined. I remember exactly how I met her too….*flashback*…

Yep. That's where I'm gonna leave it. YAY! So this was super short but like I said in my long rant above, it was just a teeny tiny chapter to get through the weekend while I'm away. Hope you read!
