76. The Little Things ~Just the Little Things~

Miguel and Josuke play Smash Bros. Unlimited on the Nintendo Switch 2 which was connected to the Smart Television. They sat on the couch and played. Miguel is Link while Josuke is Luigi.

"How are you good at this!?" asked Josuke.

"Because I'm awesome," said Miguel.

"Astig..." Josuke said, with eyes widened and sparkling.

"GAME!!!"

"OH, SHIT!!!" shouted Miguel, standing up and raising his hands akimbo. "Ahem... Gg."

"Ugh!" shouted Josuke.

Miguel puts down the controller as he reads the computer. "That got me tired."

Raphael crawls around and pant-hoots to Gumball, who sat at the table with Finn.

"Yeah?" asked Gumball.

Raphael purrs and points to the cookie jar at the top.

Gumball climbs the counter, grabs the cookie jar, and falls on his face.

Raphael then grabs the cookie jar from his hand and crawls away.

Raphael then creates a small tree in the backyard as he stores the cookie jar at the top.

Patrick wakes up from a sandwich bed on the table.

"It's grocery day tomorrow, right?" asked Finn to Gumball.

"Yeah," said Gumball to Finn. "Let's make Stephen do it."

"'Kay," said Finn.

"Hey, guys," smiled Patrick. "Where the heck is the cookie jar!?" he immediately screamed, seeing the top of the cupboard.

"Raphael hid it again," said Finn.

"I'm beginning to get concerned with the JoJo family's parenting behavior," said Jake, walking in. "They should really start disciplining their kids. Gabrielle hit me with a pipe yesterday that she found laying on the front lawn."

Anne walked in, smiling. "Hey, Miggy!" she smiled nervously.

"Hey," said Miguel.

Anne slowly walked toward the upstairs.

*BARK BARK*

Miguel turns to Anne.

"Anne, what the hell?" asked Miguel. "You still have that dog?!"

"I named her Iggy!" she smiled nervously, turning red. She shows Miguel a black and white French Bulldog.

*bark bark*

Anne hugs the dog. "W-Well... Miggy, you said that we needed a dog in our home!"

"Yes," said Miguel. "I specifically said 'guard dog'. Not a glorified toy. First the sports car and now the French bulldog. What's next? The Goddamned moon!?"

"Come on, Miggy!" smiled Anne, lifting Iggy as she brushed her face on the dog. "Us young people have to stay youthful! What better way than play with a dog?!"

Gabrielle then walked toward Iggy and hugged her. Miguel sees this and grunts.

Anne gives Miguel a smug smirk.

"Fine," sighed Miguel, as he read the newspaper. "We can keep her. But you take her out for walks and you feed her every day. You clean her shit and her piss and wack her with a newspaper if she doesn't cooperate."

"Hooray for youth!" smiled Anne.

*bark bark*

Jake sees the French Bulldog, Iggy, and starts barking at him.

*bark bark bark bark*

*bark bark bark bark*

Finn grabs Jake's face. "Easy, dude. Easy."

"The French, man," said Jake. "They don't know when to stop snootin'!"

Iggy snarls as Anne grabs Iggy and kisses her head.

"What's all this young talk anyway?" asked Miguel.

"Oh! Nothing!" smiled Anne. "Don't ask me about it ever again!"

Anne's eyes turn black.

"Okay," said Miguel, unamused.

Anne smiled as he eyes went back to normal.

Anne puts Iggy on Miguel's lap.

"Oy!" shouted Miguel, purring and snarling. "Us, Aswangs, are 60% cat!"

"That's both an exaggeration and a stereotype and you know it," said Anne. "I'll be going to work for today. You know! Because I'm still young!"

"Uh-huh... But it's a Saturday," shouted Miguel.

"Yes," said Anne. "But I'm making up for missing work last Monday. Take care of Iggy for now. *sigh*... Stay young or whatever... You are, after all, a year and a half younger than me."

"Okay," said Miguel.

Anne walks outside as she enters a portal on the front lawn back into her Universe.

Miguel shouts. "Ugh!" as he throws Iggy to the ground.

Iggy climbs back up to Miguel's lap and sleeps on it.

"Ugh!" he shouted.

"Hay Naku..." said a voice in his head.

Miguel looks around. "Other guy?"

"No, it's me."

Miguel looks around the room and ends up staring at Iggy.

Miguel stares at Iggy.

"Wink if you understand me," said Miguel.

Iggy winks her right eye.

"Your left eye," said Miguel.

Iggy winks her left eye.

"Now, both," said Miguel.

"That's called a blink, dumbass," said Iggy in Miguel's head.

Miguel stands up. "WHAT THE F-!?"

Anne goes home, tired after a whole day of work. She meets a familiar face. It's her own.

"Oh!" smiled Anne, turning red and meeting Erina. "Hello, there!"

Erina turned red and backed away. "Oh, Ms. Zeppeli! H-Hi..."

Erina looks around as she grabbed her chest.

"You okay?" asked Anne.

"I got stood up," said Erina. "I-... I think I did. Was... I was stood up by Den Darley. It's not a big deal and all..."

"Date in another dimension! Classy!" smiled Anne, as she put her hand on her hip.

Erina smiled softly. "Uh... Yeah..."

Anne giggled. "Wanna hang out? I'm free right now."

Erina blushed slightly. "Sure! To where?"

"A bar! Charot!" smiled Anne.

"Haha! Where are we really going, eh?" asked Erina.

"To a bar," smiled Anne.

"Ms. Kuta, 'Charot' means, 'just kidding,'" smiled Erina.

Anne stares at Erina for a long moment.

"Charot! Aha! Gotcha!" laughed Anne. Erina laughed along.

"I am definitely not aging well!" smiled Anne.

"What?" asked Erina.

"What?" asked Anne.

Meanwhile...

Jordan Higashikata played scrabble with Raphael JoJo and Gabrielle JoJo.

Meanwhile, Josuke, Jake, Spongebob, Gumball, and Darwin meet up with Josefa Higashikata, Josuke's younger sister.

Josefa wore ripped jean shorts and a black tank top. She has a rather slender body with a large chest and hips. She is 153 cm tall. She is olive-skinned. She has large doe eyes, thick eyebrows, thin lips, rosy cheeks, brown hair, and she has a high-pitched voice similar to an anime girl.

"Josuke," said Josefa. "Why'd you call me here? I have to go to a concert later at night."

"Josefa, Josefa, Josefa," Josuke shook his head. "We need your help. It's about Finn."

"Yeah," said Jake. "He needs someone to be there for him, y'know. He's just a regular Joe or Josephine who needs your help in finding someone he can share his apple pie with at the end of Mount Zotharn."

"Ugh... You want me to help your little nerd friend find a girlfriend?" asked Josefa, crossing her arms.

"Yeah," said the five.

"Okay," said Josefa. "Fine. Does he have a phone?"

"N-No," said Jake.

"Get him a phone and use this app. It's called Match-Scope," said Josefa. "Just add in your preferred sex and wait for the offer. Swipe left for no and right for yes."

"Uh-huh..." nodded Josuke. "Wear pants and a jacket."

"Ugh!" she yelled, as she stomped back into her room.

Gumball leans and checks Josefa out.

"Dude!" shouted Josuke.

"Yeah, Gumball! You have a girlfriend," said Darwin.

"Not the problem in my case, Darwin," said Josuke. "Also, where's Patrick?"

Meanwhile...

*gasp pant gasp pant gasp pant*

Patrick sees the cookies meters away from him. He looks behind him and growls.

Patrick runs around in the front yard as he was being chased by a large rat.

Patrick sees a stick from behind him as he grabs it. He then runs to and hides under a rock.

*SKREE*

*HISS*

The rat nearly bites him as it tries to dig Patrick out of the rock. Patrick then takes a pebble from the ground as he sharpens the stick. Cold and alone, Patrick growls and lunges the spear into its eye. It hisses and screeches in pain as Patrick screams, stabbing the rat's eye over and over again.

"Back away, you filthy savage!" shouted Patrick.

The rat runs away, and Patrick sighs in relief.

Patrick sees its blood that has dripped on the ground. Patrick takes the blood and paints it on his cheeks.

"RAUGH!!!" he screamed, raising the spear and waving it around in the sky.

"PATRICK STRONG!!! PATRICK STRONG!!! PATRICK-!!!"

Meanwhile...

Miguel watches the news and sees Aswangs in the mountains peacefully gathering fruit.

"Good ol' Bulubundukiñeros!" smiled Miguel. Miguel brushes the dog on his lap.

"Whoa!" shouted Josuke, walking into the scene. "Do you kiss your 'mommy' with that mouth?"

"With that word for 'mother,' do you even kiss yours?" asked Miguel.

"Mr. Reaper, you shouldn't call Indigenous Aswangs such a term!" shouted Josuke. "They're really talented individuals! I have friends who come to school with me who are a part of these tribes! Like Nico-..."

"Our bully," replied Miguel.

"Seth-..."

"Our bully," replied Miguel.

"Calvin-..."

"Our bully," replied Miguel.

"Kidman-..."

"Our bully," replied Miguel.

"Look, Miguel! If you're having it worse in life, you should have more laws made for you!" shouted Josuke.

"Kid, the Dagateños are allowed to say that term that you are so defensive of. Law is made for everyone and equally applies to everyone," said Miguel, sighing. "With some exceptions (that usually cause loopholes), the law of the land is made for everyone on the land. No one is above the Goddamned law. If you are, you should be fucking dealt with."

Miguel's eyes went black as the kiddie pool you could've drowned in or the closet you were trapped in as a child.

"What about people from the ocean?" smiled Spongebob as he puts his hands on his hips akimbo after he climbed on Josuke's shoulder.

"I meant land metaphorically, Spongebob," sighed Miguel. "So a derogatory term that I can't say but another random tribe other than mine that isn't their own tribe as well can say makes them above a law that I am beneath of which violates what the law is supposed to be."

"Culture isn't law, Mr. Reaper," sighed Josuke. "Our culture is too split-up to understand each other."

"And that's why I'm going to change that," said Miguel. "I'm going to build-..."

Everyone recited. "'-a world of peace and harmony.'"

"'Hay Naku...'" recited Darwin.

"Wow. I've said that a lot, haven't I?" asked Miguel.

"You've said a lot of things a lot, Mr. Reaper," said Gumball.

"Anyway. I thought Aswangs are supposed to hate dogs," said Jake.

"Yeah. Why are you with one, Mr. Reaper? And why are you so cool with Jake, Josuke?" asked Gumball. "I'm cool with him because I've been taught not to be racist."

"I'm fine with cartoon dogs," said Josuke.

"So... So am I," said Miguel.

"But... Iggy isn't a cartoon dog," said Jake. "In fact, she's a dog from your universe, Mr. Reaper."

"Yes, he is!" Miguel puckered his lips and spoke in an OWO voice to Iggy. "Yes, you awe! Yes, you awe!"

"You fucking disgust me, pig," said Iggy in Miguel's head.

"Don't tsun on me, little tsundere!" smiled Miguel, picking her up and carrying her in his hands.

"Fuck off," said Iggy.

"BITCH, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LOVE ME!!!" shouted Miguel, woging into an Aswang, as Iggy looks around to search where to hide but she ends up hugging Miguel out of fear.

Miguel then hugs the dog tight.

Gabrielle, jealous, uses her strings to grab Raphael and climb themselves upon Miguel's shoulder.

"Ha!" laughed Miguel. "If you mind, I'll go sleep in the bedroom and be a better mother to my babies than the actual mother. Hahaha!"Miguel walks away."Don't tell Anne that I said that."

Meanwhile...

"I AM A TERRIBLE MOTHER!!!" cackled Anne as she arm-wrestled against several men in a bar.

"Ms. Kuta," whispered Erina. "I don't think you should bet your kids' tuition fees on-..."

"WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" shouted Anne. "I AM INVISIBLE!!!"

"Ms. Zeppeli, it's 'Invincible,'" said Stephen, who is standing by the door holding all of her bags.

"STOP TALKING, STEPHEN!!!" shouted Anne.

"Oh," said Stephen, bowing his head.

"Is he your butler or something?" asked Erina.

"I'm an auditor in the Helsing Organization, actually," said Stephen.

"Shut up, Stephen," said Anne.

"Aw," said Stephen, bowing his head.

Anne defeats the next person once more.

"WOOHOO!!!" shouted Anne. "I, A GRIMM, DEFEATED A LYCAN, A WESTERN DRAGON, AND A MALTESE TIGER!!! BUENA, BUENA, BUENA, BUENA!!! BUENA!!!"

Anne sat back down with Erina and drank pints of beer.

"You okay, there, buddy?" asked Erina.

"What makes you ask that?" asked Anne.

"I'm an underage girl in a bar and you brought me in here. Then you just bet your daughter's college tuition to a bunch of muscular Cryptid bikers," said Erina. Erina leans her chin on her arms. "And now you're drinking bottles-amount of beer."

"Well!" smiled Anne. "I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that there is no reason for me to do this! It's just me being me!"

"Ms. Kuta, I've seen you eat oranges for a whole day to better your diet because you were a pound heavier," said Erina, as she covered her mouth. "I've also seen you avoid Raphael touching Miguel's ecchi books and seen you spend a whole week sleepless to stop Gabrielle from saying the F-Word."

"Ugh! Fine!" shouted Anne. "I'm old..."

"What!?" laughed Erina.

"Well! I'm actually a year and six months older than Miguel! Why? I was held back a grade! Do you know what makes me?" asked Anne.

"Weird that you made Miguel a marker for your age..." said Erina.

"FIVE YEARS YOUNGER THAN A Fuh-AH-CKING FORTY-YEAR-OLD!!!" shouted Anne, dropping her face on the table as she hammered her fist on it. "I'm basically a senior citizen at this point!"

"Four and a half," said Erina.

"OH!!!" sobbed Anne.

"S-Sorry... I wouldn't say you look 80 or anything," said Erina.

"OH!!!" shouted Anne. "I was going for 63!"

"Why exactly that age?" asked Erina.

"Because that's the age of Sofia Vergara and she's still an absolute bombshell!" sobbed Anne.

Erina softly pats Anne's back with her fingers.

Meanwhile...

Finn sat at the table as he stared at the plate. He took the spoon and fork from the table and began to strike the plates with them. He played with them in some sort of tune.

*step step step step step step step*

The two meet eyes.

It's Yoshiko Kira, wearing a face mask to hide her mangled face. She has a scar over her right eye.

Finn's eyes widen as he trembled in fear.

"Oh, my God," said the both of them.

Yoshiko sighed and sat with Finn. "Well? Let's get on with this."

"Ironically, Gumball and Darwin yoga balls swiped for me... So am I being catfished here?" asked Finn. "I was told that I chose a brunette African-American girl."

"No, no. Technically, no..." smiled Yoshiko. "This was one of my old faces when I was serial killing."

"How is the police not attacking you right now, exactly?" asked Finn.

"I'm using an invisibility spell with my agimat," said Yoshiko. "Anyway, let's get this over with."

"I'm half your age," smiled Finn, standing up slowly. "I'm 18."

"And I'm a person who believes that age is just a number and also believes that you should sit down and give the lady you swiped right to respect," said Yoshiko. "At least treat me as a woman. I may be a murderer, but I am still a woman."

"Well... I guess age never bothered me before," smiled Finn. "Why should it bother me now?"

Yoshiko elegantly took out the menu.

Finn did so as well.

"Meatloaf," smiled Finn.

"Hm," said Yoshiko.

"What's wrong? Not fancy enough, m'lady?" asked Finn.

Yoshiko laughed elegantly.

"Why? What? What did I do wrong? What?" asked Finn.

"Calm down," laughed Yoshiko. "First of all, I love meatloaf. My mother used to make it for me all the time when I was younger. Second, you called me 'm'lady!' I just think that's oddly formal and sweet of you!"

"Oh! Haha... Thanks," said Finn, grabbing his arm. "So... how's the... serial killin'?"

"I stopped doing that for a while, now," said Yoshiko. "My therapist told me to stop... So, I stopped.I still fantasize about it. I mean... and I'm probably still evil," she shrugged.

"Oh," smiled Finn.

Yoshiko fixates on Finn's eyes. "Your left eye is green while the right is blue."

"Oh! Yours is... oddly cat-like," smiled Finn.

Yoshiko woges her eyes back to a human's.

"Oh! Silver!" smiled Finn.

"Sorry," said Yoshiko. "I accidentally woged again."

The two laugh.

"You like playing video games?" asked Yoshiko, leaning toward Finn as she rests her chin on her steepled fingers.

"Yeah. Heheheheh." smiled Finn.

Meanwhile...

"It's been two years since I've met my friends. I, Patrick C. Star, had traveled the forests of the front lawn, trekking for the cookie jar," said Patrick.

Patrick sees the large cookie jar on top of the tree created by Raphael.

"Finally," said Patrick, as he took out his spear and breaks it in half with his knee. Patrick then takes out a thorn from a dying rat next to him as he puts a littered straw in its throat.

"Live to tell the tale, old friend," said Patrick, looking all badass and hairy.

Patrick then stabs the trunk of the tree with the wooden sticks as he slowly stabs the trunks, climbing up the tree.

"PATRICK STRONG!!! PATRICK STRONG!!! PATRICK STRONG!!! PATRICK STRONG-!!!"

Meanwhile...

Miguel puts the children in bed and puts his dog to rest. He then kisses their foreheads as he walked outside.

"Hey, Mr. Reaper!" smiled Josuke.

"Oh," said Miguel. "Hey... What the hell do you want?"

"Have you seen Patrick?" Josuke asked. "He had been gone for over 2 hours."

"No," sighed Miguel. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh," said Josuke. "Nothing. I just forgot to tell him something about the cookie jar. He's been asking all day about it and I forgot to warn him about it."

"Uh-huh..." said Miguel, looking down.

"What's wrong, Mr. Reaper?" smiled Josuke.

"Ah," said Miguel. "Nothing. It's just that Anne was acting weird earlier. She was acting much tipsier than she is ditzy."

"Oh!" smiled Josuke. "Yeah... My mom acted the same way when she got depressed after having a mid-life crisis. She began buying things like pets that died or cool things like sports cars."

"When did this happen?" asked Miguel.

"Last year," said Josuke.

"No, I mean, how old was she then?" asked Miguel.

"36," said Josuke, as he closed his eyes and yawned. "She then started having coitus with men in her hometown non-stop. Y'know, since my dad is dead. Then she hired a man for her to go on adventures with non-stop and won't stop bothering him while also shopping everywhere in malls, even doing plastic surgery for her butt... Then she lost all our money for a month so we had to wait for her networth after a year-... Mr. Reaper?"

Miguel had disappeared.

"What was I doing again?" smiled Josuke. "Oh! Right! Patrick!"

Meanwhile...

"Ugh..." said Anne, as she held her head from dropping to the table. "My head..."

Erina pats her shoulder.

"It's okay, Ms. Kuta," smiled Erina. "You're not old! You're just a MILF!"

"A what?" asked Anne, sniffling.

"You know! A Mother I'd like to Fuck!" smiled Erina. "You're a hot mother of two children who guys and girls want to get with!"

"I mean... *sniff*... That's all true..." said Anne. "The parts where I'm hot and people want to get with me. *sniff sniff*..."

"See? You're a gal!" smiled Erina.

"Fuck yeah! Gal!" shouted Anne.

"I heard you kicked my old biker team's butt. Wanna go?"

A pale woman with a small chest and a slender body appeared before them. She has very smooth skin. She has fangs, has pointed ears, and sharp manicured claws. She has black irises and beautiful doe eyes. She has a beautiful face. She has thick white lips and long black hair. She wears a black leather jacket and tight black pants. On the left side of her neck, she has two vertical bites.

Anne turns red seeing her, giving a dirty smile and drooling.

"Hey," smiled Anne, lowering her eyelids.

"You have a fiance," scolded Erina.

"Oh, please! Men would be happy to see their wives do it with hot ladies!" shouted Anne.

"This is Mr. Reaper we're talking about," said Erina.

"Right," said Anne. "He'd eviscerate me and my lover. What's your name, sexy lady?"

"Marceline," she smiled, as she looked up to the ceiling. "Marceline the Vampire Queen."

"I'm Anne Zeppeli, Grimm of Burnham. This is my friend and alternate self, Erina Zeppeli," smiled Anne, introducing themselves. She then points to Stephen. "That's my mule."

"Okay," smiled Marceline, as she put her elbow on the table and prepared an arm-wrestling stance. "You sure you wanna go, Old Lady?"

"OH!!!"

Anne's face goes serious.

"Sure... little girl," said Anne.

"OH!!!"

"Heh," said Marceline, smiling.

Anne grabbed Marceline's hand.

The two of them began to push the other one down.

"GRRRR!!!" grunted Marceline.

Anne hissed as her eyes turn black. Marceline's true form is reflected in Anne's eyes.

"My, my," said Marceline. "You aren't lying that you said you're one of those Grimms. Back in our world, Grimms are very much extinct."

"Yeah?" asked Anne. "Be glad that I'm not charging you with Hamon right now, because if I was, you'd be very, very... well... DEAD!!!"

"Hahaha," Marceline laughed mockingly. "Huntslady thinks she's clever with her words."

"Baby Girl thinks she can suckle on Mama's breasts!!!" shouted Anne.

"Ho ho!" shouted Marceline. "You're gonna like it when I ssssss-step on ya."

"You're gonna like it when I break your fucking arm," smiled Anne.

"Sure! I believe you!" smiled Marceline. "Grandma..."

"OOOOOOH!!!"

Marceline slowly pushes Anne's arm down, as her arm slowly reaches the table's surface.

"YOU CAN DO IT, MS. KUTA!!!" shouted Erina.

Miguel walks in.

"OH, MY, GOD!!!" shouted a very beautiful blonde woman with a pink tank top and shorts. "Miguel JoJo? It's me! Alexis La Luna from High School."

"Hello," said Miguel, rather mundanely to Alexis. "Gross. Your tanktop's too small. Get some clothes on to cover all that," said Miguel, pointing to her chest. "There are children in public, after all."

Alexis runs away and cries, covering her face. "WAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOUR FORMAL WEAR SHOWS THE CENTER OF YOUR BOOBS ON TV!!!"

"AT LEAST YOU'RE HUNDREDS OF TIMES LESS ATTRACTIVE THAN ME!!!" shouted Miguel. "God... City folk..." he shook his head. "Now, where's my fiancee who is only slightly less attractive than me?"

He sees a crowd gathering near the corner.

"Okay," said Miguel.

"I AM NOT OLD!!!" roared Anne, who is about to lose. "NEVER OLD!!! ARI ARI ARI ARI ARI!!! BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA!!!"

"YEAH!!? DENIAL CRIES LOUDER THAN THE WORDS IT IS CARRIED WITH!!!" shouted Marceline.

Miguel teleports in front of the crowd.

"Miguel! I know what you're going to say!" shouted Anne. "'What's happening right now?' Well?! Guess what?! I'll save you the details to shelf the Goddamned agenda! I don't need to tell you anything! No matter how many times you ask me! Because I am an independent woman who will fight her own fight!"

"Okay," said Miguel.

"Okay fine!" shouted Anne. "I'll tell you everything!"

"Okay," said Miguel.

"Miggy!" Anne sobbed. "I'm old! I think that I'm having a mid-life crisis!"

"You're 35, though," said Miguel.

"STOP SAYING IT!!!" shouted Anne. "I'm an old hag! I'm gonna start having wrinkles... I'm gonna get fat like all Filipino moms... I'm going to tell terrible mom jokes in my daughter's debut! Oh no!"

"Check this out guys," said Miguel. Miguel turns to Anne. "Oh, honey! That's not true!"

"Oh my God! You're absolutely right!" shouted Anne. "I don't need material objects and exotic pets to change who I am! I'm happy the way I am! Age... Age is just a part of my life! It's a beautiful thing we should cherish! My life isn't wasted! It's the little things that count! Thank you, Miggy."

"You're welcome, Anne," smiled Miguel.

"We can bring back Iggy to the pet store!" smiled Anne.

"No," said Miguel.

"Okay," said Anne. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!"

*CRACK*

*SNAP*

Anne broke Marceline's arm out of sheer strength.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" shouted Marceline. "WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?"

"Oh my God! I am so sorry!" apologized Anne. "I didn't know that-!"

"Haha! It's cool. I can heal my arm," smiled Marceline, as her bones fixed themselves. "There! Vampire, remember?Nice buns, by the way."

"Oh..." Anne giggled, turning red.

"Okay," said Miguel, pulling her away. "Show's over. My fiancee won. Back away, fellow Vampiric creature."

"I have a girlfriend," Marceline laughed. "And I'm the Queen of Vampires. Marceline, Vampire Queen."

"I killed my father, so I'm technically King..." said Miguel. "...who is also a Grimm. Miguel JoJo, Vampire King and Grimm of Burnham."

"And this one has me. 'Kay bye," said Miguel, pulling Anne away as she turned red. "Stephen, take the little Anne."

"Hey!" shouted Erina. Stephen grabs Erina's arm.

"Oy!" shouted Erina, as she pulled her arm away. She follows the pair as Stephen bowed his head.

Marceline waved Anne goodbye as Anne smiled and waved back.

"Anne!" shouted Miguel.

"Sorry," said Anne, bowing her head.

Meanwhile...

Finn walked Yoshiko home as the pair laughed.

"Then I told him, 'My fist!'" laughed Finn. "Then I punched him in the face and stuff."

Yoshiko giggled. "You've fought in a lot of battles, haven't you?"

"Yeah. Sorry if all my stories are about us fighting or doing stupid stuff. It's bizonkers that it's all we do, but it's all we do, you get me, Hot Stems."

"Hahahaha! Enough about the legs! Compliment me... somewhere else," said Yoshiko, turning red underneath her face mask.

"Ew," laughed Finn.

Finn turns to see that Yoshiko had turned red.

"Fine!" shouted Finn. "Hot Grabbers."

Yoshiko giggled. "I kinda wanna blow you up and steal your hands."

"Why won't you?" asked Finn.

"Someone..." Yoshiko paused.

*BASH... BASH... BASH... SPLAT... BASH... BASH... BASH... CRACKLE... CRACK... SPURT....*

"ORA!!! ORA!!! ORA!!! ORA!!! ORA!!!"

In this memory, as Yoshiko was being dragged, Yoshiko trembled on the ground as she saw her own reflection in some of the glass, seeing her mangled face. Tears flowed down from her eyes.

"Wrry..." whispered Miguel.

"This... is... for... everyone... you've... killed..." he said a word each time he punched her face.

With his fist now filled with blood, he grabbed the back of her hair and made her look at the puddle. She trembled vigorously.

"I don't even need to use Gold Experience on you and disable your Stand because of how broken you are. Now... Look at this..."

"This is your ugly mangled face. This is the last thing you're ever going to fucking see, Kira."

"In the Netherworld, when you meet your old friend, Lucifer Morningstar, you're going to remember that you died with this as your fucking face...."

Blood dripped from her face as she mumbled a few words before finally passing out with her face falling flat on the ground. Blood then spread all over the puddle.

Miguel prepares to kill her with Star Platinum's fist.

"I'm going to say it in your country's words," said Miguel. "Sayonara."

Back to reality...

"...knocked some sense into me," smiled Yoshiko. "Hey, Finn?"

"Yeah?" asked Finn.

"Don't tell anyone... especially my brother... about this..." said Yoshiko.

"Sure!" smiled Finn.

The two reach her house, which is an everyday apartment.

Yoshiko reaches for the door.

"Hey..."

Yoshiko turns to see Finn.

"I kinda wanna see you again," smiled Finn.

Yoshiko gives off a big sigh and looks around.

"This is a dangerous game... we're both playing..." sighed Yoshiko.

"I kinda like danger," smiled Finn.

"Well..." said Yoshiko. "That's one of the few things we have in common."

Yoshiko smiled. "Wanna exchange contacts?"

Finn turned red. "Sure," he calmly said.

The two put their phones back in their pockets.

Finn stares at her. "Are you-?"

"I'm smiling," she smiled.

Finn smiles back.

"I'd kiss you right now, but-..." said Yoshiko.

"But?" asked Finn.

Yoshiko points to her face.

"I've seen worse, M'lady," said Finn.

Yoshiko takes off her mask, revealing her right lower face to be nothing but teeth and muscles. It's dry, however, and some skin grew over it. Her teeth show. She has no right cheek. Her scar can be seen over her cheek.

"You really don't think I look ugly?" asked Yoshiko.

"You should visit Ooo sometime," smiled Finn.

Yoshiko softly pecks Finn's lip.

The two smile as Yoshiko went home.

Meanwhile...

Patrick finally reaches the top of the tree and reaches the cookie jar. He slowly lifts the lid.

"Open says Patrick," said Patrick, as he opened the jar.

It's empty.

Patrick screamed at the top of his lungs. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"Oh! There you are, Patrick! Oh! You've found the cookie jar!" smiled Josuke. "I was going to warn you that it's empty and it wouldn't be filled up until tomorrow when we go to the groceries."

"I was gone for six years," said Patrick.

"Close... It was only six hours," said Josuke. "No... Not close... Just the same number in terms of the 60 astronomical calculation system made by the Babylonians."

Patrick slowly turned to Josuke. "You're dead to me. Goofy Goober ROCK!!!"

GGR emerges and punches Patrick.
