A/N: Don't own anything, blah, blah, blah.

Randall's P.O.V.

I had searched for Renny nearly all day. She was very good at avoiding me, considering I saw her twice but she got away.

It was only fifteen minutes until that Mavis girl's birthday party. Mary had somehow put a dress on over her costume, and forced me into a white dress shirt and a bowtie to go with it. "You look fine!" Mary told me with a smile, "Once Mommy sees you she'll remember you and fall head over heels for you... again."

"I just hope I can tell her what I over heard," I mumbled as Mary pushed my fronds back.

"There! Nice and classy!" Mary giggled. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the closet we were in. "To the ballroom place!"

More than an hour had gone by, and Renny refused to speak to me. She wouldn't stop avoiding me, but Mary had a plan. She was able to get Renny to dance with me. It took a bit of lying, but she did it. My arms were wrapped around her waist and, since she couldn't reach my shoulders, she did the same to me.

"I don't want to speak to you," Renny told me.

"I need to."

"No, Randall!"

"Yes, Renny. Just listen to me. For five seconds." A frown was on her face, but she nodded anyway. "Cory... He isn't right. He puts something in those berries you eat."

"What? No. Cory... he's good to me. He took me in when I needed it he would never betray me... except for when he tried to sleep with me. Call me a whore. Bitch. Fat. Ignoramus..." She looked away.

"He's been using a shrinking spell to keep you so small. And the potion in the blueberries, he said you knew it and that it had something to do with immortality. That's all I heard before he left the room."

"The condensing spell. It's why I'm so overweight! Why I'm so big in my... chest area." While Renny's face darkened, I smiled at her and brought her closer to me. "And the potion... he was talking about a potion that would take away immortality. But I don't have that. Do I?"

"It's best to stop eating the berries."

"I haven't gone to sleep, Randall."

"How does that have anything to do with what we're talking about?" I chuckled.

"The condensing spell can only be preformed while one is asleep, oddly enough. And I haven't slept since yesterday. Twenty-four hours ago."

"Meaning?"

"Well, my dress is going to rip off in..." She looked at a clock, "A minute or so."

We broke apart and she ran off. "Go well?" Mary asked as she walked up to me.

"A hell of a lot better than I expected."

"Really? Good for you." Mary looked around. "Then where'd she go?"

"I warned her that her clothes were going to rip off. She went to change."

"Have you told her the whole story yet?"

"She didn't take it well at first. Then I helped her realize her superior was an abusive jerk."

Then, the next few minutes happened so fast. Quasimodo was rolled into the room, silencing everyone, outer Johnny and Mary as humans, Johnny became extremely angry, and pulled Mary out with him.

Then they were gone.

Renny's P.O.V.

I heard voices down the hall. Mary screaming. I ran out of my room with no shoes on and ran down the stairs to see Mary struggling against Johnny. "Stop! Please! We can't go! I need to say goodbye to Renny!"

"Mary!" I called out, "Where are you going?"

"Renny! We... we have to go. We were found out." She was still struggling against Johnny. "Please, talk some sense into Johnny!"

"Mary...I...I'm so sorry."

"Renny, please!"

"I can't."

"Mommy, I'm begging you!" She cried.

I froze. "What did you...?"

"Mommy!"

Flashes went through my head. Memories of so many wonderful times. Meeting friends, crying with family, fearing such a sweet little girl for a few hours, kissing Randall, being tortured for months only to save the people who did it, and leaving behind everything, only to have it all erased because of a horrible hit on the head.

"Boo," I whispered. She was already out of my senses. "No!" I ran out the door and they were already gone. My shoulders slumped, and I went back inside.

Monsters of all kinds flooded into the lobby, and I ran off to look for Randall in the ballroom. "Randall!" I ran to him and held his hand. "Randall, she's gone."

"I know, Ren."

"Where did she go? Back to America?"

"Yeah."

"Randall, I wanna go home."

"Well, you can. Just-"

"Randy, you don't understand." I looked into his eyes and smiled. "I wanna go back to our home. Fang. Hex. Hank. My idiot brothers. Marie. Hell, even Hector!"

Randall's smile grew big and goofy, something I had never seen from him. He pulled me down to his level and kissed me lightly. We pulled away and I could see he turned pink.

"But first, we have to get Boo. We need to go back together. The three of us. We can-"

"Not if I have anything to say about it."

Cory.

"You don't. We're leaving, jackass!" I growled.

"You aren't! You are going to fight me, and that's final!"

"You're such a child, Cory."

"I AM NOT!" He screamed, pulling his wand out. "Now fight me!"

"Randall, you go after Boo. I'll fight Cory." I took out my spell book as Randall ran off. "Alright, Cory. My name is Hope Lawrence. You've drained my immortality by the day, but I don't care. I can fix that. You've made me think I was a weak witch who wasn't good at spells. But I am. I am fantastic. You fear me." A smile ran across my lips.

"Have at thee, then!"
