DISCLAIMER: I own nothing not one word nothing

SO Vince has bought it hook line and banana and Howard has lost the bet…. But has he really lost the bet?

Half an hour later Leroy walked out and with a big grin that said "I win," presented Vince who came out hair and makeup done in nude tones (do you get it?) and his best boxers on (The ones with The Rolling Stones tongue on them). Vince, after a twenty minute lecture, was convinced he looked fantastic in the clothes and was really convinced he would impress everybody with his mad wardrobe (or lack of).

"We're going to The Velvet Onion tonight it's going to be genius," Vince said excitedly

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Howard asked

"Yeah I'll be back by 3, we're going to Leroy's until then see ya," He was dragged out the door by Leroy. Howard was now 50 euros short and he didn't have 50 euros to start with, he picked up the paper and started looking for a second job because getting a second job would be easier than asking Naboo for a raise.

Vince on the other hand was pumped; he was outside The Velvet Onion with Leroy (who was wearing superman knickers on top of his blue tights for some reason). After a while the bouncer finally let them in Vince was jumping on the walls when he heard.

"Hahahaha!" Vince and Leroy exchanged looks "I am from…. The Futchaaaaa!" They walked closer to the man everyone was standing around. He was blonde with wings and had golden armour.

"Who is he?" Vince said in a amazement Leroy shrugged "I'm gonna go talk with him," Vince walked up to him

"Who are you?" Vince said. The man didn't seem fazed by Vince and his invisible gear.

"I am Sunflaaaaash, I am from the Futchaaaaa!" Sunflash smiled "Hahahaha!"

"Vince Noir rock 'n' roll star," Vince grinned

"You look disgusting you're not wearing anything!" Vince felt incredibly small "Your face is like vomit, but don't worry I can do mutant makovaaaaasss!" Sunflash twirled and leaped over to the stage "All of you can have makeovaaaaassss!" He posed at different people and they turned into metallic goddesses. "I am going to have to use all my resources on you!" He posed at Vince and zapped him. Vince suddenly had a yucky blonde wig and a chrome jumpsuit that really didn't suit him at all. "Well?" Sunflash asked. Vince took one look at himself and legged it with tears in his eyes.

Howard was having a fun night in (although that really does depend on what your idea of fun is), he had the documentaries going on the telly, jazz on full blast and was reading Cheek Bone at the same time. Plus Naboo and Bollo were off on a "business trip" so Howard had the place to himself. He was relaxing by the telly and reading the fashion helpline he was in heaven.

"Howard!" Vince ran in the apartment above the shop and threw himself on the tiny bit of the couch that was left. Howard threw the magazine away and moved closer to Vince who was bawling his lemons out and still in the disgusting wig.

"Hey what's wrong little man?" Howard asked. He got a burble of words in response.

"Well he whendii mre andjwhoiv" Vince said between sniffles

"Slow down Vince speak English," Vince took a deep breath

"This guy from the future said I looked like vomit and then he did this to me," He glanced behind Howard and saw his reflection which just made him cry even harder. He collapsed on Howard, which made Howard tense and uncomfortable but he managed to quickly (10 seconds) decide to take off the wig and tame Vince's hair back down to its normal state.

"It'll be alright little man," Howard said in a tone which had to make someone feel better.

"How?" Vince said miserable, Howard thought for a minute.

"Well if he's from the future he'll probably go back there and Naboo can make a potion to make everyone who saw it forget about it, so it'll all go back to normal," Howard improvised he was quite proud of that effort in fact if he could he would give himself a medal.

"But that tosspot will know," Vince said.

"Who cares who he is, he's from the future, it doesn't matter your still the most stylish person in all of Camden. And he's just some futuristic wanker," Howard got quite angry about this, he was all ready to go over and punch this guy in the elbow

"Not him Leroy," Vince narrowed his eyes in an "I hate that boy" way rather than an "I can't see" way. "How could he even let me go out almost naked?"

"O.k. erm, Leroy and me had a bet," Vince quickly looked up at Howard furious "Hold on hear me out first, He thought that you would go out in public and embarrass yourself all in the name of fashion, I thought that you wouldn't do it because you were smart enough to not go out naked now I owe him 50 euros,"

"But it was in Cheek Bone…" Vince looked at the traitor magazine

"Leroy made it, I'm sorry Vince I should have put it in the bin or something and given you the real one," Howard said It was his turn to feel small

"Where's the real one?" Vince asked Howard seemingly innocently but he knew exactly how this was going to play out,

"Err it hasn't arrived yet, anyway I'm-" Howard fumbled over to a subject change

"You've been reading it, haven't you?" Vince grinned, Howard blushed

"I don't know what you're talking about," Howard thought to the collection underneath his mattress, he knew he could never wear clothes like that (he convinced himself that they wouldn't come in his size and he could never afford it but really they frightened him he liked to look sane).

"Yes you do I've seen you reading them, you may diss it but I know you love it when I show you the latest thing from Topshop or whatever," Vince gave him his trademark look which was saved for these moments. To which Howard gave him one of his looks (Anger of a Winemaker)

"Yeah whatever now I owe Leroy 50 euros," Howard sighed

"I'm sorry, I'm an idiot for believing they were real, I just wanted to impress Leroy and everyone else and I thought I looked ok and I," Vince babbled excuses which weren't his best ones in fact they weren't even top ten material "I saw a dolphin covered in marshmallow who told me that you got to impress yourself and I didn't quite know what that meant but it flew off anyway," O.k. I take it back that one's going in the book Howard remembered it for later.

"It was probably saying some twat knew my best mate better than I did," Howard and Vince sighed they looked at each other both as sad as the other and they knew what they had to do

"You can't get me nanananaaa" Vince shouted and stuck his tongue at Howard. Howard threw a Satsuma straight for his head… and missed. They laughed and continued to pelt them at each other even though it was pitch black and they couldn't really see where they were throwing them. "Missed me missed me now you gotta kiss-" Vince started to chant but Howard hit him straight in the thigh. They dissolved in a pool of laughter as the moon watched on

"Errr I er used to do that with er Saturn but with rocks err then he err made a crater in me and he turned into into a Uranus… I'm the moon" He grinned and spinned.

And they all lived happily ever after

THE END

In the end I gave Leroy's monologue to The Moon it has more effect I think.
