It was last day on her work, she had quit a few days after Chucky had left her. She had a new job now, a good and less hard job that didn't take all of her days in the year. She had more time for friends and her family.

Valerie parked her car and went out to lock the door. It was weekend, Friday, and the day was still young – just like the day Chucky left…

Flashback: "I hope to see you soon," Valerie said and picked him up, just this last time, and kissed his cheek in an attempt to hide the obvious heartbreak that radiated from her gaze, but she couldn't hide it from him.

"Please, don't be sad, Val…it's not worth it, I'm just a crazy doll who kills…nothing for an angel." He felt stupid after talking like that, it wasn't really Chucky-ish! But what was Chucky-ish anyway, after he had spent these at first odd, but then amazing days with Valerie?! She had made him soft!

"I can't help it, Chucky. Don't you understand that?" She put him down and straightened up.

"I understand, babes…I really do. But I must go, it's in my nature. But that doesn't mean we'll never see each other again, ya know that right?"

"I know, Chucky…as long as it won't take like forever!"

"Yeah, I know that would be horrible for ya…you'll gonna miss riding me like you did last week…" He raised an eyebrow and grinned.

"Chucky!" Valerie blushed and looked away.

"Okay, okay! But you know I'm right, eh?"

"Yeah…you're right, you silly doll! But that's not the point! I'm gonna miss you and your company, not only…the other stuff."

"The bonus?" He asked, highly amused.

"Oh shut up, wipe off that grin!" She immediately replied, hiding the foolish smile on her mouth. Chucky nodded his head, serious now. He looked to the door and they both knew exactly what was gonna happen next.

"I better go then, I guess…"

"Yep…it's the perfect time for you to go, with the darkness and all…" She said hesitantly and made circles on the floor with the tip of her foot. Chucky waved a little awkwardly with his hand, and hesitantly made to the front door.

"Thanks for letting me stay here," was the last thing he said before she heard the sound of the door, closing shut. It was like waking up from a slow dream, and now – finally snapped back to reality – she didn't hesitate at all, but ran out after him.

"Chucky!"

He was about to round the corner, but then stopped in his tracks, waiting. She sat down in front of him and didn't care about the filth that probably would get on her skirt. She swung her arms around him and pulled him in for a warm hug.

"I needed to give you a proper goodbye," she mumbled into his colorful sweater.

"I knew you would come after me," he answered and patted her back. She could hear on his voice that he was smiling.

"Valerie?"

"What is it, Dollface?" She answered teasingly

"I wouldn't me sad at all if you could consider giving me a little kiss…"

"Of course!" She replied happily and did as he wished; she kissed him, and it was not a small kiss. It was a long and full kiss on the lips. But she had to end it sometime, even though she wanted to sit there forever with her little friend. She kissed him one last time and then drew back, leaving him flushed and starstruck.

"That was good!" He gave her a toothy smile, his big blue eyes shining like stars.

"I know," Valerie replied, pleased. But then he had to go, and not just stand there and make the pain worse by draw out the time, he had to leave her anyway, so why not do it quick?

"Good bye, Valerie," Was the last thing he said to her.

- End of flashback.

Valerie woke up from the deep thoughts. She had experienced that little episode with Chucky over and over again in her mind; how he left her by the apartment. The apartment that she had been so proud of before, but now it was just boring and grey and too big! Lonely and in need for a certain doll…

If only she had someone to talk to, and not only with the usual people; friends, family and so on. She hadn't heard from Thomas for a long time! Not that she was sweet on him or something; she only missed the affection he had showed her. But he was clearly not interested anymore, just like her.

Valerie sat down in the chair and turned on the TV. But it was not much to look at, as usual. So she opened the drawer under the TV and picked up a movie she hadn't seen for a long time: Beetlejuice.

"Well, why not watch some Tim Burton now as I feel so alone?" She asked sarcastically, it was so typical her! But those movies helped, they really did! She placed the CD in the player and sat down in the couch, pleased now. She also popped some popcorn and brought a glass of lemon soda into the living room where she was gonna have a relaxing time in front of the TV. She saw the whole movie without any interruptions. And when she had drunk the soda and eaten up the popcorn, she decided to go to the mall.

Valerie changed her clothes, brushed her hair and went outside to start the car. And when the key was inserted, she drove off, leaving the apartment for a couple of hours, most likely.

Fifteen minutes later, she was at the parking outside of the big building with – her opinion – too modern and grey, angular exterior! She parked her car and quickly went inside. Huge raindrops were now falling from the sky, wetting her green jacket.

She dried her face with the back of her hand as soon as she was inside, and then headed to the movie/CD shop. She was into oldies, and so it wasn't hard to guess where she was by now: She was looking through the aisles where it could be found f. example Tina Turner, Boney M, Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. You could even listen to all of the CD's that was on sale to find out if you wanted to buy it. Valerie enjoyed this, putting on a headset so that all other sounds vanished, listening to good music. She was humming softly to herself, smiling as she did so. She sometimes visited CD stores just to do this. Weird, huh? But it was such a good, richly qualified sound coming from those headsets, much better then what she had at home!

Valerie's smile stiffened as she felt someone look at her, and she had to turn around. Everyone was minding their own business, looking at CDs and DVDs, listening to music from the many headsets in the store…but it was a certain guy who did not mind his own business; he was looking at her with something that seemed to be…interest? Who was that young man?! She hadn't seen him before, but as he eyed her, she felt how her heart jumped in her chest. There was something about him…something strangely familiar. He was taller than her, and not too muscular, and not too thin, but healthy and slender, so it seemed. He had shoulder length, black hair and an interesting, handsome and almost significant face. But she would probably not see that face again, 'cause suddenly he was gone again, disappeared in the crowd of people. Valerie shrugged and continued listening to Kate Bush, and when the song was ended, she picked up the CD and went to buy it.

Shortly after she made her way to next shop, this time she decided to look at some clothes. She didn't find much though. Only a simple top with some colorful strips, it kinda reminded her of Chucky's sweater.

"I'm so silly," she mumbled under her breath, but decided to go and buy it anyway. Once she had given the lady who worked there what she required, she bid her farewell.

"Have a good day, miss!" The lady said and smiled.

"You too," she replied, being a polite girl. She looked around but soon understood that she would go home sooner than what she had planned in the first place, she had been gone for half an hour and that was just enough now. This did not ease her loneliness; walking around on the mall, even though it always was a lot of people around her. She wanted to go home, or maybe she could visit her parents? That would have been nice now! So she hurried outside to drive out of town, and to the countryside where she had grown up with her brother, Henry. He had moved out too, and lived now with his girlfriend. That seemed so nice!

Valerie was with her parents till six o'clock. They had just eaten chicken and rice and it was now about time to go home.

"Sure you don't wanna sleep over?" Her mother asked as she hugged her.

"I'm sure, mam…another day would be nice though, but not today."

"Alright, hun. See you later then," she replied. Valerie gave her father a good hug too, right before leaving them.

"Bye! Love ya, guys!" She said before going out through the front door, happily waving with her hand.

Home again:

As soon as she was inside of the apartment, she sensed that something wasn't right. And when she heard a sound from the living room, she definitely knew that something not was right. She had uninvited visitors!

"Sarah? Is it you?" No one answered. She immediately grabbed the only thing that she maybe could protect herself with that was nearby; her umbrella. She hesitantly walked into the living room.

"Who's there? Come out or I- you?!"

It was that black haired guy who had stared on her in the movie/CD store! He had followed her!

"Who the hell are you? And how did you get inside?!" Valerie raised the umbrella, ready to hit him with it if he was planning to attack her or something. The guy lifted his hand and showed her something.

"What! My spare key? How did you…" she trailed of as her mind began to wander. The spare key was usually lying in a box in the shed, but only she knew that! She…and Chucky! But the guy had apparently found it with a little help from his luck.

"You shouldn't keep the keys outside in a shed, ya know?" He said, snickering. Valerie dropped the umbrella and everything else that was in her hands. That voice! That special, dark, kind of raspy voice!

"Oh dear…C…Chucky?! It can't be you!" Valerie walked hesitantly closer with a raised hand, unsure if she should touch him or hug him or anything at all. But it had to be him!

"Yes, it's me…my body and face has changed, that's all."

"That's all?! You used to be a doll, where is the doll?!" Valerie gestured at whole of him with her hands, shocked.

"I knew you would miss the killer doll," he said and winked. "That's why I kept it, so that I could it to you." He opened his bag that she hadn't noticed until now, and took out that all too familiar ginger with scars and baby blue eyes. She soon had him in her arms and she hugged him tight to her chest. Then she met the young man's eyes, it wasn't right to call him Chucky, first she had to get over the worst shock…

"I found a body, you see. He hung himself, so I took it…he didn't needed it anymore. Look, I know it's not what you're used to, but this is still me. The same soul, the same voice and the same…"

"…the same wolfishly expression, I know," Valerie interrupted, hesitantly smiling. "It's alright, I'll get used to it. You're just so different, well…definitely not on the inside. But on the outside, yes. You used to be in a doll…" She looked down on her little friend in her arms.

"It's good to be a human, Val…just like you…I'm taller than you now, and that feels great! We're not so different anymore, you and me." A warm smile touched the corners of his mouth and at that moment she felt something melt within. It was a very weird moment, but deep inside, she was happy to see him, even though he no longer was inside that doll she had fell in love with. And he was inside a body that someone had wished to hang, of all things! But it was him, nonetheless! It was Chucky…her Chucky. Valerie returned the smile, suddenly feeling like Belle from Beauty and the beast. Her love had changed just like her Chucky had did, but Belle had still been happy even though he no longer was the beast she had come to adore. The same thing with Fiona and Shrek, Fiona changed herself because of her love for the ogre…

A fat tear trailed down her cheek and disappeared into her curls.

"It really is you…Chucky," she whispered and blinked a few times, but the tears continued falling.

"It's true, Valerie…and I didn't come not only to deliver the doll – no one would take better care of it than you. But the point is, I wanted to tell you…that I love you too." His voice had grown so soft and warm, so very unlike that raspy voice of his.

"Y…you do?" Her voice was shaky, but it held.

"Yes, Valerie…and I want to be with you, and I don't want to leave you...not again. I can turn into the doll sometimes too, that's actually not a problem, as long as your friends don't see it…"

"Right," Valerie said and giggled. "And yes, that would be nice. But I like the human as well."

"You do?"

"Oh yes, Chucky." She smiled warmly and walked even closer to him, hesitantly at first, but then it didn't take long before she found herself in his arms.

"It's so strange…now it is I who's the largest one," he said into her hair, smiling.

"I know…but it's good too," Valerie replied and nuzzled deeper into the crock of his neck. Chucky moved a little bit away, and she soon understood why…he was going to kiss her. He captured her lips with his mouth, passionately kissing her. She responded by wrapping her arms around him, but then she let go of his lips, and just hugged him tight instead.

"I love you so much," she whispered, again near to tears. This was such a touching moment for her; she had missed him so much! And she was happy to be with him, even though he wasn't a doll anymore. He had some of the same face expression; that wolfishly grin and the same voice, and of course; the same personality! She would get used to this, she knew that.

"And I love you, Valerie…I've yearned for this moment." He paused for a moment, but then said: "Please…let's go upstairs." He kissed her again, tenderly this time.

"I'll turn into a doll, I know that spell very well…it won't take long, trust me."

"Alright, dollface" Valerie replied and giggled, blushing like a fool.

"Then let's go upstairs, dollface," he replied, teasing her back. He lifted her up and walked up the stairs, just like a newly wedded couple. Valerie was holding Chucky the doll whilst Chucky the human held her. She couldn't be happier. Her love was with her…at last!
