A little bit of time has passed. Me and Nadia are doing are daily jog around New Meridian.

"You know you're doing much better than before G."

"Yeah and today's weather isn't so bad out either"

It's a sunny day but it's not super-hot like it usually is. We continued to jog, but then I hear my stomach growl.

"G, did you skip breakfast?"

"It was worth it for those extra five minutes of sleep."

Nadia lets out a sigh. Oh jeeze, don't tell me she's disappointed.

"You ok Nadia?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking what to have for lunch at Mew-Nyan's."

That is totally a lie.

I look to my left and I see the movie theater, but then I notice, there's smoke coming from the ally beside the theater, I then noticed that it was a little girl that was smoking a… Cuban cigar?

"What's wrong?"

"There's a little girl in the ally, alone smoking a cigar"

What's wrong with kids these days?

"Hey, I recognize her!"

"You do?"

"Yeah, it's that feather duster."

"Maybe I should say something."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you G."

"Ah, I'll be fine."

I Approach the uhm… Feather Duster.

"Umm, Excuse me."

"Beat it geek."

Hmm she's young AND rude, I swear kids these days.

"Not unless you tell me what's wrong, cause you obviously sound upset."

"I said BEAT IT GEEK!"

She pulled out her gun on me... WAIT WHAT? SHE'S PACKING HEAT?

"AND I SAID, CALM DOWN!"

Without warning, she starts firing her gun, but instead of bullets they were… bowling balls? I manage to dodge the Projectiles and get behind cover. Nadia Gets beside me.

"Told you it was a bad idea."

"Yeah, yeah, I know but I have an idea."

"Meow?"

"Forgive me Nadia."

I grab Nadia's head.

"GRENADE!"

I throw Nadia's head at the girl; she tries to run away but is quickly bitten by Nadia.

"OM NOM NOM NOM."

The girl pushes Nadia's head away, but it gave me just enough time to charge at her. She pulls out her gun, but I kick the gun out of her hand. I grab her and pull out my knife and stick it close to her throat maybe that will get her to talk. Sadly, as soon as I put my knife close to her throat, a band of cartoon characters surround me. An Anvil with arms and legs goes behind me; I then notice a whistling sound… I know this trick, I kick the anvil's leg and he goes down, I move back and look up, the weight drops on the little girl.

Nadia Reattaches her head and gets beside me, but gasps when she sees a smashed girl underneath the weight.

"MEOW, G!"

She was shocked and I was to, I didn't think I would be responsible for killing a little girl. The Cartoon characters quickly move the weight and they see the girl lying there with a cuckoo clock going in her hat. One of them grabs a pump and starts pumping the little girl back to normal.

"G …are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"You're not going crazy on Cat nip; you and I are seeing the exact same thing."

To my Surprise, the little girl gets up without a scratch.

"You think you're a wise guy ain't ya?"

"No, I just wanna know why the hell you're so upset!"

She points to the theater specifically to a movie called "Annie: Girl of the Stars the movie."

"Let me guess… they won't let you in?"

"Its ages 13 and up and that wise guy thought I was younger I'M THIRTEEN! I'M A TWEEN!"

"Alright, alright, calm down, how about I buy you the ticket we'll watch the movie together. Think of it as a, sorry for nearly killing you present."

She didn't give it much thought and she quickly responded.

"You know, you ain't such a bad guy after all poindexter!"

She's just saying that because I'm buying the ticket, I turn to Nadia.

"Sorry Nadia, but it has to happen."

"I find it a bit odd that you nearly killed that feather duster, and now you're going to watch a movie with her."

"Yeah, I know it's stupid, but I feel guilty."

"SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU!"

I honestly couldn't argue with that.

"Hey poindexter, let's hurry things up."

"In a minute, could you at least join me?"

Nadia Turns away, I knew she wouldn't want to do it, but I had an idea. I whisper in her ear something that will get her attention, should she do it.

"How about now?"

"Alright but you promise me."

"I'm a man of my word Nadia."

I buy the tickets and we go the theater. I tell Nadia to go get some seats for us while I get the popcorn. I get the popcorn and as soon as I take three steps from the concession stand, I bump into someone; she loses her balance and falls.

"Oh geeze, I'm so sorry."

I reach out my hand to her; she quickly grabs my hand and gets up.

"Thank you."

I noticed she was wearing an Annie hoodie, Pink hair and glasses; she's a fan girl.

"So, you're going to watch the Annie movie right?"

"Yes, that's correct, are you here to watch the movie to?"

"Yeah, I'm doing this for a little girl, she's been excited for this movie and today has… not been her best day so I'm making it up for her."

"That's very kind of you."

"Thank you, so I guess you're alone?"

"Oh heavens no, I'm with my little sister"

"So I'm guessing you're the bigger fan?"

"…yes"

Of course she's the biggest fan. We make it to the theater room and we both get to our seats.

"So what's your na…?"

I then realized that the fan girl went to her seat, I look up and I see Nadia and the girl, they are in the top row while the fan girl and her sister are in the lower row seats.

I sit right beside Nadia and she quickly whispers to my ear.

"Who was that you were talking to?"

"Just some fan, I accidentally bumped into her when I got the popcorn."

"She looks really familiar."

"Who do you think she is?"

"I'm thinking its Parasoul."

"The leader of the Black Egrets."

"Yeah, she was a pain in my tail when I fought her, but I made a deal with her to end the cat and mouse game."

"Nadia, that can't be Parasoul. I don't think the leader of an elite military squad would actually watch this."

"You're right, but then again, I have seen some stranger things."

"Hey, would you two shut your traps? The movie is about to start."

I let out a sigh and I shut my trap. The movie began and only fifteen minutes in, me and Nadia were a bit confused on the plot, half an hour into the movie and Nadia already fell asleep. Dang it, she beat me to it. When the movie ended, I woke up Nadia and we left the theater with the little girl.

"Did you enjoy the movie… err, what's your name?"

"It's Peacock and yea i really liked the movie."

Peacock… And People think MY name is weird.

"Well, I guess that makes us even?"

I reach out my hand in hope that she shakes my hand.

"Yea… we're even Poindexter."

She shakes my hand but I can't help but feel a bit odd.

"Peacock, why do you keep calling me Poindexter?"

"That's for me to know, and for you not to understand capiche?"

"Ok then, Peacock I want to know something."

"What is it now, Poindexter?"

So many questions so little time… I think I should just ask her one question.

"There's has to be another reason why you were so upset, do you mind telling me?"

"Alright, alright."

Peacock explained to me her point of view during the events of the Skullheart incident and also her past. It was shocking to know who Peacock really is being only a 13 year old who's eyes got ripped out and is now augmented to destroy the skullheart.

"…I feel your pain Peacock."

"What? No you don't!"

"Being a slave and getting your eyes ripped off, maybe not, being a Weapon yes, I was forced to be in the mafia that screwed over your life, but I decided to take action and with the thanks of Ms. Fortune the mafia is no more."

"So, you're the mafia killer I've been hearing so much about."

"Mafia Killer?"

"It was all over the TV and it ruined my stories."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that."

"Ah forget about it, they were repeats anyways."

"Well, with the skullheart destroyed where will you go now?"

"I said it once, and I'll say it again, that's for me to know, and for you not to understand capiche?"

"Alright, alright, Capiche Peac…"

When I turned to her she disappeared.

"Huh? Where did she go?"

"The feather duster Teleported."

"Peacock can teleport?"

"Yeah, she teleported a lot when I fought her, but I was always one step a HEAD."

"Well we better get back to yu-wan's"

"Actually G… I WANT CHICKEN!"

"Didn't you have any popcorn?"

"You hogged it all."

…she was right I did eat all the popcorn.

I let out a sigh.

"Alright ill buy you chicken."

"ANNNNND don't forget you promised me."

Nadia let out a smile when she said that… she's really making sure I remembered what I promised her.

Throughout the day I was wondering where Peacock was, and what will she do now? I guess the only thing I can do is wait … or be a Fan boy of that Annie series that will most likely get her attention. Another thing that question me was that fan girl I bumped into… was that really Parasoul? I hope not, and that's definitely something I don't want to find out. But right now, I've got bigger things to worry about

"Come on G you promised"

"I know I know but...this isn't easy you know"

"YOU PROMISED TO CLEAN MY FEET AND YOU WILL CLEAN THEM!"
"Ok, ok, just don't scratch me"
