Is...Is it...IT IS! Chapter 5! Amazing! I finally got off my lazy ass and decided to write a new chapter! WOO!... Yeah, so I don't own Johnny, Squeegee, or any other characters in this story other than Voice, Kei, and Ripper.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At about 7 in the morning, Todd stirred uncomfortably from his sleep. The pillow had stains from his tears caused by the nightmare he had once again suffered from. He squeaked loudly as he saw two big green eyes staring back at him. It was Voice, who for some reason had been watching him sleep, her head tilted slightly and a smile plastered on her face. She giggled and touched his nose, making him scrunch it. He smiled softly before sitting up and stretching, yawning softly. There was a crash from inside the kitchen, which scared Todd half to death. Kei tumbled across the floor and into the living room, her goggle lenses shattered. She pulled them off and inspected the damages.

"Shit! I just got these! Oh well...Good thing I have a spare-- Oh! Good morning, Squeegee!" She said happily, smiling at him.

Todd tilted his head in confusion," H-how did you know that nickname?" he asked.

She simply smiled," A little, manic birdie told me. Anyways, what do you want for breakfast? I was going to make omletes but the cheese threw the frying pan at me so I don't think I can.".

Todd hugged his bear softly, looking down and thinking. He suddenly perked up and smiled," Here, I can make something for breakfast!" he exclaimed. Kei blinked then shrugged, moving a little and making the 'after you' motion. Todd got up from his spot on the couch and walked into the kitchen. He immidately sat his bear down in one of the chairs then went to the pantry, pulling out bread and a small clear container of brown sugar. He then went to the fridge and opened it, getting the milk and some eggs. He picked up the frying pan, which was on the ground with a bit of a dent in it. He placed it on the stove, preheating it, then grabbing a bowl from a cabinet and beginning to scramble the eggs, adding milk every so often.

Kei leaned on the door frame, a suprised expression on her face," How did you know where everything was right away?" she asked.

Todd looked back at her and smiled," Well, I used to live here. I figured the configuration of it all would probably be the same.".

She laughed," Well, what if we had changed it?".

"Impossible! Where everything was, it makes it the easiest way to get to it all.".

He finished mixing the eggs, grabbing the bread and a fork from a drawer. He got a plate out, and began putting bread slices on the fork, dipping them into the mixture then placing them on the heated pan. He did this with a few slices then grabbed a spatula, flipping them every so often. After a little, he put the slices on the plate. He went to the fridge and grabbed some butter, putting a bit on each slice then covering them with brown sugar. He picked up the plate and held it out for Kei," There! French toast!" he said happily, seeming proud of himself. She smiled and took the plate," I didn't know you could cook this well, Squeegee! Where did you learn to make this?".

He just smiled," I had to learn to make my own breakfast when I was little since my mother never knew I was even there. Besides, french toast is easy to make."

He went back to the stove, making a bit more for himself, and one slice for Voice. He sat next to Kei, eating his own french toast hungrily. Kei looked to him," I guess you have had real for a little.".

He just nodded, knowing it was impolite to talk with his mouth full. She stood up, taking her plate which still had one slice left on it, and walking out of the kitchen," i'll be right back Squee. I need to give Ripper some food.".

Ripper.

That name still made chills run down Todd's spine, ever since he had found out just what he was. Voice stood up from her spot on the table, floated over to Todd and patted his shoulder, as if telling him that she knew his fear and that there was nothing to really worry about. He looked to her and smiled softly," Thanks Voice..." he murmured softly.Voice just made a squeak noise and floated back to her spot on the table, starting to gnaw on the piece of french toast again.

Kei walked back in after a little while, the plate empty and broken, and a small cut on her cheek which was bleeding lightly. Todd looked to her and his expression shifted to consern," What happened?" he asked.

Kei looked to him and smiled softly, though obviously just trying to mask something," Oh, he just got mad at me because I wouldn't tell him how I managed to make french toast, which I didn't." she said quietly, throwing away the shards.

Voice suddenly appeared in a nurse outfit, rushing to Kei's cheek and placing a band-aid over it. She kissed it then squeaked at Kei. Kei smiled and pet Voice's head with a finger,"Thanks hun, you're always so resourceful when it comes to things like this!".

Voice made a small record player appear, which played a recording of applause as she bowed. Kei laughed softly then looked to Todd," Hey, would you like to go with me to visit a friend today? I bet he'd love to meet you!" she asked, smiling.

Todd nodded immidately, not from the fact that he wanted to meet someone new, but from the thought of being stuck alone in the house with Ripper. Kei smiled, " Well then, go get changed in the bathroom, I'll go get ready in my room.".

After a quick change into the clothes that Nny had lent him, Todd sat silently on the couch, staring out the window. His outfit was simple, a pair of black jeans, accompanied with a long sleeved shirt with striped sleeves and a black torso, the middle having the image of [Z? in white. There was a sudden slam from a door and Kei walked out into the living room. She wore a tan 60's poof hat, along with a long sleeved black shirt with white cuffings and white edges in the neck area, including a pair of plain jeans. She smiled at him,

"Well, lets get going!".

Todd walked next to Kei down the sidewalk towards...wherever they were going. He looked to her," So, what's your friend's name?" he asked curiously.

She looked to him," Well, I think I'll let him tell you. The only thing I'll say is that you should make sure not to get on his bad side.".

They walked up to a two story house with a smoke stack that billowed a absurd amount of smoke, especially for the summer. Todd tilted his head at the house, swearing to himself that he had seen it before. Kei knocked on the door and was greeted by a smiling woman who then called for someone.

In the doorway appeared a fairly slender teen, fangs hanging over his bottom lip. His skin was a slight brownish grey color, his hair in tall strands which stood up on his head then bent downwards. His outfit was plain, A grey belly shirt with long striped sleeves wihich were ripped at the ends. A bel twith a skull buckle held up black leather pants which were cut short from his long boots. A tail flicked behind him, and two ram like horns were placed on his skull. He smiled at Kei," Hey there, Senorita! Whats with the sudden visit-- ...Who's this?" he questioned.

Kei smiled," Peppy, this is Todd. Or Squee as a lot of people call him.".

The boy's expression suddenly lit up," Squee?! Amigo?! Is it really you?!".

Todd gulped," H...hi Pepito...".
