Like I promised the sequel to the sequel!  This is probably the closing of the entire trilogy.  You know…it wasn't SUPPOSED to be a trilogy.  It was actually just supposed to be a one-shot of Squee's musing while locked in an asylum.  So frankly, this is all your faults for this. Yeah. Boo! XD Making poor Ruri-chan work so hard.  Ah well, I've enjoyed it as much as you all have.  So, yeah…wasn't a total loss.  Enjoy!

Pairings: Pepito/Eff, Nny/Squee

Disclaimer: Jhonen can't keep this good girl down…even with the nails in my feet, the fact I'm hanging from the ceiling in a straight-jacket…but at least my hands are free now…go me?

            The rain poured down over the city.  However in the Diablo house, Eff sat in the kitchen working on lunch.  Pepito and his father were in Hell working on tormenting the damned.

            However, the calm surrounding the house was soon disrupted by two loud knocks on the front door.

            "Bunny[1], could you get that?" Eff called towards Pepito's mother.  It seemed odd to the little doughboy that people would name themselves after pets.  But each to their own he supposed.

            The blond haired woman walked to the door, opening up to find a wet Johnny sitting out on the steps.

            Oblivious as usual, Bunny put on her brightest smile. "Hiya, Johnny! How are you? My you look a bit wet, why don't you come inside?"

            Not answering, he walked into the kitchen where Eff was continuing to make food.

Turning, Eff blinked a few times before rushing over to Johnny.

            "Johnny!  What happened to you?!  You're all wet!" He looked abashed. "Didn't you take your car?"

            "No."

            "Why?!"

            "Squee has it."

            "And where is Squee?" Eff had always felt that with Johnny it was a run around with questions before he got the answer he wanted.

            "Visiting his family's grave."

            "Oh."

            "…why are you here Johnny?"

            "Isn't it obvious?" Bunny's cheerful voice sprung out of nowhere, scaring Eff to no end. "He wants some cookies."

            If Johnny didn't think Bunny was an idiot before, he did now.  Mainly, he wanted to talk to Pepito about something.

            "Where's Pepito?" Johnny asked, brushing off Bunny as he usually did on his visits.  It was smart to ignore the ditzy blond rather than listen to her and have the sudden urge to slit her neck, which in turn would end in his bloody demise by either Pepito or Diablo.

            Eff pointed to the ground. "In the basement."

            "Want me to get him?" Bunny questioned, oblivious to how cold Johnny always acted towards her.

            "Can she do that?"

            "Not really." Eff sweatdropped before turning his attention to his somewhat mother-in-law. "Bunny, why don't you finish the cooking and I'll get the boys?"

            "Okay!" She pinched Eff's cheek painfully hard.  Eff winced but said nothing more as he walked down the hallway soon followed by a snickering Johnny.

            "Why do you have to talk to Pepito anyways?"

            "I have to know something."

            Eff turned towards Johnny with suspision burning in his eyes.  He hadn't spoken to Johnny for a few weeks.  Eff was curious how everything was going between him and Todd.  Mainly if he was treating Todd nicely.  This was because Todd had become more or less an elder brother to Eff. So, the once doughboy felt he should protect his "big brother" from pests. 

            And if Johnny turned out to be a pest, Eff would know how to deal with him.

C&C are welcome.

[1] Bunny is the name of this blond in the TV show, Lexx.  Good series, I'm depressed it is over.  BTW, Bunny is an idiot in the TV show.
