Author's Note:

Death, Peppermint Butler (Henry), Peppermint Maid (Alicia) and the Lich (who will be in here soon, but I don't know exactly when) are not mine. They belong to Pendleton Ward. If they were mine, well, a lot of flashbacks would happen, more songs, and more adventure and bits of romance would be in it. Meh. But, no, they aren't mine. :(

But, I don't remember who, but I think BossKing109 said he was going to make his own cartoon show someday. Hope he makes that dream... :)

As Henry ate his beef stew, he watched the gothic waiter seduce Alicia like crazy with narrowed eyes.

"Aw, no way. You wouldn't have..." Alicia said with a hot blush, waving her hand in the air.

"Ah, but I would sacrifice my life for a beautiful woman such as you, ma petite." Death stated, kissing her knuckles while being on one knee.

(...I'm sorry, but Club Vampyre by Laurell Hamilton, and I think that's her name, but Jack or whoever is so awesome, and everytime he keeps saying ma petite to Anita is like another moment for Tier 15 for Death and Alicia...)

(...IDK what that was about...so...um...back to the story! *nervous chuckle*)

Alicia only giggled madly and covered her mouth with her free hand.

Henry only growled and threw his fork on the table, pushing himself out of his chair.

Alicia and Death stared at him with confusement as he lifted up his backpack. "I'm leaving. Here's the money. Keep the change." He said, dropping a $20 on the table and storming out of the café into the crowded city, the sunlight slightly blinding him, white spots appearing in his eyes.

He only clenched his teeth and began to walk off until a girl with black hair and peachy skin bumped into him, only making him stumble back. Henry shook his head and looked down at the girl, papers scattered everywhere around her as she shook her head.

Henry sighed and gave a grunt, helping the girl up off the dusty ground and soon picking up the papers for her.

"Here you go." Henry said, passing her the papers.

The girl stared up at him with eyes of dark brown, her thin lips in a straight line.

"Uh...thanks." she said in a small voice, grabbing the papers from him.

Henry only nodded and decided to take a look a the girl.

She was a bit shorter than him, about as tall as Alicia with her heels on, had black straight hair that went to the middle of her back, wore a red shirt, black pants and black converses, a medium-sized satchel slung over her shoulder and wore glasses, for she grabbed them out of her satchel and put them on her nose, staring at Henry. She was curvy and thin (kinda like Fionna in a way...I think...) and seemed a bit frail at that, but strong too.

"...what's your name?" Henry asked, startling the girl. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Oh, it's ok, I guess." The girl said, waving it off. "The name's Jo. Jo-Jo 'Death' Kaltare."

Henry only had a rude nerve to only groan in annoyance.

Gosh, was everyone they met named Death today? What is up with these people?

"...so...uh, what's your name?" she asked, pointing at Henry.

"Henry." he stated, looking down at her.

"Henry who?"

"I don't know," He said with a shrug, "...my parents died when I was only a month old in a house fire. So, I really don't know my real name."

"Oh...sorry to hear about that..." Jo-Jo said, looking down at her black converses.

Henry only sighed softly to himself. "It's ok. The police are still trying to solve the mystery. But, since they really have no idea, they closed the case as 'unsolved'."

"Aw..."

"Yeah..."

A moment of silence between the two before Jo-Jo looked up at him.

To Henry, she seemed...kinda cute. She seemed really cute like a rose when she looked up at him with her glasses on, which made Henry crack a small smile.

"So..." she said, rocking on the ball of her heels with the papers stuffed into her satchel, "...do you..."

"Do I wanna hang out sometime? Sure." Henry said with a smile.

Jo-Jo stared at him with surprise, her mouth agap. "Did...d-did you just...like...read my m-mind?" she questioned.

Henry shook his head. "No. I just realized what you was about to say..." Henry chuckled to himself while Jo-Jo pushed up her glasses to her face and looked back up at him.

"Well...since it's my break, we can probably meet back here around 4:45. Is it ok with you?" she asked.

Henry nodded. "Sure. 4:45 sounds good. I'll bring a flower, if you'd like."

Jo-Jo looked up at him and lightly blushed. "Uh...s-sure..."

"Very well. See you at 4:45, cupcake."

"Wha?"

"...I'm gonna...go..." Henry stated after an awkward moment, walking around the girl, avoiding any more awkward moments.

But, already he just liked a girl he didn't know about and he just got in France. He was only here for a few hours, and already, he liked a girl.

He must be getting a good headstart then.

Henry gave a dreamy sigh and sat on a bench not too far away from the café he walked out of, thinking about the previous events that happened only moments ago.

"I think I need a doctor," Henry stated, his hand going up to his red hair. Soon, after a moment, a shadow loomed over him, making Henry look up.

"A doctor you say?" the man asked.

"...Yeah...?"

"Well, I'm Doctor Who. I can probably help you." the 10th doctor said with a smile that was warm for Henry.

(Hey. I dunno. I haven't watched the series yet. So, I changed the personality, and I think I might need Netflix for me to watch the science fiction show. But the 10th doctor is so hot he could be fuckable!

PepB: ...

...apart from Henry Sturges and Rex?

PepB: *facepalm*)

"...aren't you...like...a science fictional character?" Henry asked.

"What? Nonsense!" the 10th doctor stated, clasping his hand on Henry's shoulder. "Now, do you know where there's a store of Jelly Babies?"

"Uh...there's no such thing as Jelly Babies, unless you're talking about Jelly Beans."

"...I must be in the wrong time realm then..."

"..."

"..."

And awkward moments of silence was ensued.

"...I guess I'll be leaving then..." the 10th doctor started.

"Sure. See ya around soon, I guess..." Henry said, looking to his right.

"But do know this." the 10th doctor said, leaning down to Henry's level and whispered in his ear: "Dark times are coming. Very soon. I suggest you live your life while you can, before a tragic World War 3 happens. But do know this: You won't see anyone again for the rest of your life, and it's possible you will see someone. Someone that you hate, and someone who you'll love. But you won't see your loved ones again, for they will be long dead."

"...wha?" Henry said, very confused as of what he just said.

"SO..." the 10th doctor boomed, jumping off the bench, "Ta-ta my friend! Someday in the future you will see me!" he exclaimed with a wave as he walked away, before walking to a London phone booth and teleporting away in a stream of white light.

...

...one question though.

"What the carmalized apples was that?" Henry said, standing up.
