A/N: First update in like, forever! Please don't send a fiend out to get me, I was having second thoughts about this story, so here's the long-awaited chapter you've all been waiting for and wasting your lives for! :D Enjoy! I only own my OCs, everyone else belongs to Amy Winfrey.
The next day, Vendetta was dragging her younger brother with her to school. Grudge, their pet hamster, was there with them. He was still Vendetta's bodyguard no matter what. She had trusted him ever since she learned how to make fiends and created him into a fiendish hamster instead of a normal pet. Vendetta walked inside room four of Mu Elementary School as Mr. Milk looked down nervously and averted Vendetta's harsh gaze.
"V-V-Vendetta, who's your little friend?" Mr. Milk asked.
"This is my baby brother," Vendetta raised Verdinand up. "He will be joining our class today for Show and Tell. You WILL fear him someday!" she then stuck Verdinand through her air and continued to walk to her table.
"Hey, Vendetta!" a cheery voice called.
"Go, away!" Vendetta hissed at the blue girl with a bow in her hair.
"Okay, but first, tell me about your little brother!"
"Verdinand, that is Charlotte, your new enemy!"
"Hi Verdinand, it must be great having the bestest friend in the world as a sister!"
"Shut up! He does not care what you think!"
"Um... Hi!" Verdinand weakly greeted. He felt weird around Charlotte. He felt warm suddenly and his heart was racing around her.
Charlotte made her signature giggle and walked to Vendetta's table to pinch Verdinand's cheek. "You're so cute! I wish I had a little brother! I have a little hamster though, do you like having a big hamster?"
Verdinand weakly giggled back as Charlotte pinched his cheek like he were a baby.
"Go away from him now!" Vendetta demanded.
"Okay!" Charlotte giggled and went back to her table to sit next to Marion.
"Okay class," Mr. Milk said nervously. "I was hoping we could start s-s-show and tell. W-W-Who would like to go first?"
"I guess I will." a gray girl sighed sadly.
"V-V-Very well, come on up, Maggie." Mr. Milk stepped aside, then panicked from the red bird fiend cawing at him.
Maggie, the gray girl, stood from her table and took out a plant. It wasn't just any plant, it was a cactus. "This is a cactus I found," she sighed, depressed. She was always depressed. "I didn't have anything better to bring, so I brought this. Good news for it, it'll live forever and never die, bad news for it, I don't want to live in this town anymore. It's pointless to do anything though in a town like this."
"What's wrong with her?" Verdinand whispered to his sister.
"She is just a stupid, gloomy girl." Vendetta replied, then turned with her eyes forward and glared harshly.
"Oh."
"Thank you, Maggie, you may be seated." Mr. Milk let her go.
"Thanks." Maggie sighed, then went back to her table.
"Marvin?" Mr. Milk called, making Vendetta groan.
"This is going to take forever!" Vendetta demanded to be next.
"Erm... This is... My banana..." Marvin showed the banana in his hand. "M-M-My dad... Puts stickers on them... He works in a factory...My... My turn is when I'm old enough..." he smiled sheepishly.
"NEXT!" Vendetta hissed.
Marvin flinched at her, then went to sit back down.
"Malachi, did you bring anything for show and tell?" Mr. Milk asked, noticing his table was cleared off.
"Thine project is prosperous," the periwinkle boy replied in his Elizabethan accent. "My family not believ-eth in show and tell projects."
Mr. Milk sighed, then turned to the chubby girl beside Charlotte. "Marion?"
Marion shrugged and took her glass figurine pony. She showed the class. "This is mine... I collect glass figurines... My parents sent it all the way from Canada!" she smiled nervously, then frowned. "Can I sit down now?"
"Very well, Marion, Charlotte, you can be next." Mr. Milk said.
"Yippee!" Charlotte hopped up. "I have two things!"
"Okay, make it quick." Mr. Milk said, seeing Vendetta was getting anxious.
"This is Buttons!" Charlotte lifted up a tiny hamster. "He's my most favoritest hamster in the world!" she then lifted up what looked like a rock. "And this is a pretty rock! Vendetta gave it to me!"
"I threw it at you!" Vendetta snarled.
Charlotte giggled, then the bell suddenly rang.
"Oh, recess!" Mr. Milk called.
"Finally!" Vendetta got from her table and walked with Grudge and Verdinand.
"Wait, Vendetta, we didn't go next!" Verdinand pointed out.
"I know, but you will meet the class in recess!" Vendetta smirked and kept him close. She then saw her classmates come out in a orderly fashion. "STUDENTS! Gaze upon the fear that is possible, meet my little brother, Verdinand!" she stepped aside, revealing him.
Verdinand waved nervously, making everyone stare blankly at him.
"He's... Vendetta's brother, alright..." Marion observed.
"Looks like a coward to me." Maggie added.
"Coward? HA! Just you wait, my little brother is smarter than he seems! Hamster, let's leave Verdinand to destroy the class and make me the proudest sister ever!" Vendetta proclaimed, then ditched school with her hamster.
Grudge nodded with a grunt and followed her without a word.
The older kids looked at Verdinand. They were all looking at him like he were a caged animal at the zoo. Like they were expecting him to do something. He was nothing like his sister. The only thing they really had in common were their relatives and they lived in the same house. Other than that, Verdinand could not be Vendetta's brother. Verdinand felt overwhelmed and climbed up the swing set to escape, dropping a shoe. He even snatched Marvin's banana to show his best bad boy nature.
"My banana!" Marvin cried.
Verdinand smirked and ate it without a care. He was Vendetta's brother, he couldn't get in trouble. Right?
"Verdinand?" Charlotte's voice rang in his ears.
The green boy came down slowly.
"Come on out, I won't hurt you."
Verdinand came to her and saw that she had one of his shoes. He smiled and took it, placing it back on, but it was untied.
"Here, let me get that for you." Charlotte knelt down and tied his shoe with a cheery smile. Once she was finished she stood tall and smiled at him. "There we go!"
Verdinand smiled back, but it didn't last long.
"VERDINAND!"
The kids were now scared that Vendetta had come back with onion and clam ice cream on waffle cones.
"Hi, Vendetta!" Charlotte smiled. "Ooh, is that ice cream for me?"
Vendetta growled, smushed some ice cream in her face and picked her little brother up by the collar. "You had a mission and you failed it! How could you!?"
"I'm sorry, Vendetta, I-I-I..."
"YOU'RE GROUNDED! Come on, we're going home!" Vendetta threw her little brother in Grudge's arms.
Grudge caught him and grunted darkly at him. Verdinand shook like a leaf as he was taken back home against his will.
"Hey Vendetta, be sure to bring your brother over tomorrow! We can play dress up, watch movies and have a healthy snack!" Charlotte called.
"Be, quiet!" Vendetta hissed at her.
