"Do you wanna make the pussy dry? Cause this is how you make the pussy dry!" Kyu screamed as she floated around my new purchase.

"Look between the dates, my old bills and previous fines with the fairy police, I didn't have that many options and I need a car for tonight." I walked around to the drives side of my new car. It was small, its old white paint chipped in places and covered up by rust in others. It had over one hundred thousand miles on it smelled like rancid death and raccoons. But it's what I could afford and it was mine. Besides with the rate I was making money now I could afford a new car by the end of next week. Assuming I didnt fuck things up. Till then old dumpy here would have to do.

"Whatever plan you have better be a good one, no way is Audrey gonna tolerate being seen with you in this thing." I rolled my eyes as I opened the door and began to climb inside.

"If everything goes according to plan no one will see us at all." I sat down and a cloud of dust flew up from the seat. Kyu grimaced, her normally pale complexion turning slightly green. "Lets get dumpy cleaned up a bit first."

= Brendon: Yo, you got plans for tonight?

= Audrey: Yup

= Brendon: Shame. I was hoping we could hang tonight.

= Audrey: Really now? Why should I waste my time with you?

= Brendon: I got some killer herb and was looking to get into some trouble. I was hoping for a partner in crime, but if your not up for it im sure I can find someone else to share with.

= Audrey: Alright, ill send you the info, be here at 10.

= Brendon: Can do.

Thankfully I had enough time to take dumpy to a car wash and get him cleaned up. He still wasn't great but he would do for tonight. The street lights flashed by as I drove through a nice suburban area not to far from the university. And there she was, sitting at a bus stop two doors down from the address she gave me. A wild flair of lavenders, whites and blacks breaking up the monotony of these cookie cutter houses. Her lolitta dress fit her previous style what I wasn't expecting was the equal parts black and white hair, split near perfectly down the middle. Did she own a wig or just dye her whole hair like that regularly? I pulled up and cranked the window down, my arm frantically turning this out of date piece of tech. "Need a lift?"

She started laughing at me. What started as a barely contained snicker quickly became a full double over belly laugh. I pulled a cigarette out of the pocket of my denim vest and lit up. I took a long drag and blew the smoke at her. The ensuing coughing fit stopped her laugher for a few seconds, enough time for her to calm down. Wiping tears from her eyes she leaned against the bus stop. "Seriously you expect me to get in that thing? If I knew you were such a loser I never would have agreed to this." I took another drag on my cigarette. God I hated the taste of these but they calmed me down. I couldn't let her get a rise out of me or that was gonna be it.

"Don't worry, it's only temporary. The real deal is in the shop getting a new sound system in. This just a piece of shit rental." She crossed her arms and raised an inquisitive eyebrow at me. "Besides I got something fun planned for tonight, something that benefits from a lower profile. Catch my drift?" I flicked the only half spent cigarette away. She had closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking things over. Come on Audrey, work with me here girl.

"Alright, you got ten minutes to make this worth my time." As she moved to the passenger side I reached across the seat and unlocked the door for her, giving it an awkward shove to get it partially open for her. She sat down and I got us moving as soon as the door was closed. "Ass." She glared at me as the car lurched forward, catching her off guard. "So what's this big plan of yours?" I motioned to the duffle bag in the back seat.

"Take a look." She reached back and unzipped the bag. Pulling out a metal cylinder with a red cap on her eyes lit up.

"Spray paint? Fuck yeah, what are we tagging?" Good to see her finally getting into it.

"I happen to know of a blind spot in U.O.G. security. Wanna go get some revenge for wasting so much of your time?" Her smile was simultaneously charming and freighting. This girl was out for blood tonight.

"Oh you fucking know it!" She reached back and started poking through the bag, pulling up cans to see what colors they were. I had just enough cash to pick up a half dozen cans of paint, not the whole rainbow of course, but more than enough to make a mess.

"You ever tag before?"

"Of course. I mean who hasn't?" The shuffling and the clanging of cans stopped as she sat back down.

"Oh yeah, where at?" She had chosen an interesting time to be fixated on the window.

" I don't have to tell you shit." I'm sure you don't have much to tell princess. "Ugh enough of these shitty questions put some music on already."

"I would love to but im not exactly the biggest collector of cassette tapes." I rolled my eyes as I motioned to the tape deck.

"God your car sucks." She laughed at me.

"Its temporary." She kept laughing. Bitch.

The next few minutes passed in silence till I parked the car a block away from the school. "Right let's get to it."

"About time." She couldn't get out of the car quicker. Hard to say if she was eager to start or horrified that my vehicle would spontaneously combust.

"Ok but if we want to get away with this you gotta stay close and listen to me, got it?" I grabbed the bag and locked up joining her outside.

"Oh come on, it can't be that complicated."

"If you wanna get caught then fine do what you want. But fuck you if you think im bailing you out." I moved around to the trunk. Of course its stuck.

"Fuck you if you think its ok to talk to me like that." She stomped her foot, like a child. "You should consider yourself lucky that im even out with a loser like you." Her face was actually red, damn this chick has a temper. Enough with this fucking trunk.

"Alright, sorry. I was to harsh but you can't be picking a fight with me tonight, I mean it." I turned to her giving up on the trunk for now. "You wanna have some fun and I wanna cause some property damage so let's try to be civil alright." I held out my hand to her, she just stared at it with her arms crossed. "I mentioned I got really good weed for when we're done right?" She begrudgingly shook my hand and turned towards the school. "Excellent. Seriously though listen to me please, otherwise this is gonna be a real short run. Alright."

"Fine. This all better work though." Oh it will toots, it will. I give the car a hard kick and the trunk pops open. Piece of junk. I grab the step ladder and sling my arm on through the struts before closing up.

"It will, just listen to me. Please. As much as the idea of you in cuffs appeals to me, the fantasy only works when it's just the two of us."

"Do you wanna fucking die?" Her face had gotten ever more red. How innocent. Cute.

"So what do you wanna tag?" We had a few blocks to walk so might as well get the ideas going.

"Im not sure, maybe just a giant dick."

"Classic. Want me to show you a reference?"

"I've been looking at you all night, i'd rather not see more you."

"Your lose." I attempted to shrug but the weight from both the bag and the ladder was making was making that awkward.

"And what about you? What do you have planned?"

"Id like to settle a score."

"Oh come off it, with the brooding bullshit, if you don't want to tell me then just say so, ass." Fair enough, but it was going to be complicated to explain.

"You'll see soon enough."

"Whatever."

The next block we walked in silence, she seemed to be deep in thought and I was just struggling under the weight of both the bag of cans and the ladder. Ugh, I missed being buff. Brendon was to skinny. Finally we reached our destination.

"Ok that's our target there, the east wall of Buford Hall. The cameras are focused on the perimeter and the area around the quad. That wall is right in the middle so nothing is pointed towards it." It was a big beautiful flat brick canvas ripe for defilement.

"Not bad. To bad those cameras will still see us as we walk up there, stupid." Let that one slide, deep breath.

"Thats why its so important you listen to me, unless your to chicken?" I was ready to make chicken noises if needed.

"Fuck you, I did not put up with all this bullshit to back down now." They really weren't needed.

"Alright then, here we go." I crouched down and took off at a solid pace, I could hear Audrey catch up and fall in behind me. I moved up besides a hedge row. I turned and held my finger to my lip shushing Audrey before she got the chance to talk. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, 10:57pm. Should be any minute now.

"Why the fuck are we just squatting here?" Audrey hissed at me. I shushed her as what I was waiting for came into view. A light making its way across the quad. I put my free arm around her and pulled her close to me.

"Stay quiet and stay down." I whispered. I watched the light through a break in the bush. It got closer, holding on the hedge row for a disproportionate amount of time. Finally it moved away. To be safe held onto Audrey for a few more moments until I was sure he was gone. "Alright, coast is clear. Let's move." I clambered over the bush and turned back to see Audrey struggling to do the same. "Security guard, he tends to take his time on this lap, won't be around for at least a half hour." Images of breaking onto campus before flashed into my mind. I was a seasoned pro apparently. I tossed the duffel bag to the ground and set up the ladder. I let out a groan and stretched my body aching to be free of the extra weight. I turned back to see Audrey pulling twigs out of her dress and hair, and right pissed about it too. Before we could get into another fight I pulled out a can and tossed it to her. "Better get to work, it's too late to back out now." She looked from the can to me and finally to the wall. With a smile she got to work.

We each worked for the next thirty minutes in near silence. The sound of the spray cans filling the void. I stepped off the ladder and stood back to admire my work. A caricature of , proudly spouting the words "im a fascist pig". The words dream killer, 70% trash, and simply bad teacher were also painted next to her ugly mug. It was stupid, childish even and not even a little clever. But it was cathartic, and gave me some closure.

"Shit." Audrey seemed less then pleased with her piece. Can't blame her, I imagine the red and black blob she had put together wasn't what she had planned out.

"You suck at this." I slid up next to her as I stroked my chin and looked over her work more. "I mean it this is really bad."

"Fuck not like you can do much better." She glanced up at my work. "Who the fuck is that anyway?"

"If you don't know your better off. Lets focus on your work instead, what were you going for here?" I motioned to what I could only guess was an exploded plate of spaghetti.

"It's a rose, duh." It was not a rose. I think I could help though.

"Want my help, I think I can provide some pointers."

"Not even a little." She started shaking her can as she walked back up to the wall. "Just need a bit more here." She really needed a lot more everywhere. Except for where she was pointing the can. Fuck shes bad at this.

"Ok let's fix this." I moved up behind her and put my hand on top of hers, while my other hand wrapped around her waist.

"What the fuck?" She screamed in my ear.

"Shhh, don't make to much noise. We don't have a lot of time. Now let's start from the top. Hold the can at this angle and close to get a good line out, that's it." I started to guide her moving her hand and her body into place. It might have been romantic if the smell of paint and the cigarette smoke in her hair wasn't so unpalatable. After a few minutes the blob had taken some form and from the right angle could even pass as a rose. I released my date for the evening and looked up at our work. "Man we both suck at this."

"You suck way more." She said, but there was a bit of a flutter in her voice. I think for the first time tonight she didn't think I totally suck. Progress.

"Hey who's over there?" An angry voice and bright light shattered the atmosphere.

"Run I shouted while pushing Audrey back towards the bushes and grabbing a can of paint with my other hand.

"Stop where you are!" The guard was running and gaining on us. Damn these short legs. Audrey jumped clearing the bush with a tumble and a wail. I lept over it and fell besides her just a moment later. I got to my feet and saw the guard closing in. An idea flashed into my head. Fuck that's a bad idea but it would get us out. Fuck.

I pulled my lighter out of my vest pocket and held it up to the spray can. Flicking it and giving the can a spray I let out a jet of flame across the bushes. "Holy shit!" All three of us yelled simultaneously. I dropped the can and got moving again, the guard now more preoccupied with the fire then with us.

Me and Audrey ran the next several blocks, by the time we got to the car we were both out of breath. Fuck, it wasn't even that far. I started coughing, a moment later Audrey did the same. Fucking smokers, damn it. Even through the coughing and wheezing fit I slammed the key into the car and got moving. "Anyone behind us?" I croaked out before gasping for air again.

"No, were good." She said while looking through the rear window and wiping tears from her eyes.

"Great i'm pulling over up ahead. I need a smoke." I slid into the parking lot of a random corner store just a few blocks from where we were parked and pulled out a cigarette. "Want one?" I offered her the pack and she eagerly accepted.

I lit my own then hers and we both sat there, enjoying our smokes and letting the adrenaline fade. "That was fucking crazy" She said, breaking the silence.

"Just a normal night for me, try to keep up next time." I gave her a wink and I swear she was gonna slap me.

"Fuck off, a lady shouldn't have to run in shoes these nice."

"A lady shouldn't wear shoes that nice to commit crimes."

"Whatever. Take me home, Im done with this." She flicked her spent cigarette out the window.

"Aww and here I thought we were gonna smoke up yet tonight." She brightened up, seems she had forgotten that was part of the deal.

"You make a good case to stick around but Im done for the night." Before I could press her for more she continued, "Im exhausted, sticky with sweat and I got paint on my dress. I need a shower before I even consider doing anything else." Prissy little princess.

I scoffed at her as I tossed my cigarette out the window. "Your wish is my command." I put the car in drive and it sputtered out of the parking lot. A few minutes later and we were back in her neighborhood.

"You certainly live in a nice place for such a tough chick."

"You don't know where I live." She shot back keeping her eyes glued to the window.

"Did't I just pick you up in front of your house?"

"How dumb do you think I am? You picked me up at a bus stop. Like id actually let some creep know where I live."

"Guess your smarter than you look."

"Fuck off." And with that I pulled up and parked next to the stop.

"So when will I see you again?" I asked as she opened the door and climbed out of the car.

"Maybe next week, if my other weed guy can't make it." She took a moment to smooth out her dress and pull out a twig that had snuggly slid into some of the lace.

"You sure, its real good stuff, and unlike him I wont charge you for it." She looked back at me and gave me one more look up and down.

"I'll text you" she slammed the door in my face and walked away into the night. I started my drive home and as soon as I turned a corner I dropped the substi-suit. I was fucking exhausted. I let out a sigh of relief and held up three fingers. I counted down, two, one.

"Well that was fucking stupid." Right on time Kyu. She looked to my hand and realized what had just happened. She slapped my hand down and began to pout. "Damn it player now is not the time to be smart with me. Your lucky you didn't have to cheat again, cause I was not bailing you out this time."

"Yeah I know. It was worth it though, I think she digs me." My car choose now to backfire, great now it was sassing me too.

"Oh she's definitely into him but did you have to go so hard on that one?"

"Probably not but I wanted to. I needed to, I think…" I trailed off, man I needed to get to bed.

"Oh please tell me your not going to get all sappy and introspective on me." Kyu cut in.

"No, not tonight at least Kyu." I let out a sigh as I slumped into my seat a bit. "Maybe ill tell you the whole story one day."

"Cant wait." she rolled her eyes and with a puff of pink sparkles she was gone. A few minutes late I was home. I passed out into my bed, clothes still on and happy to be home. I didn't have to see Niki till the afternoon so I had all day to sleep. Fuck was I gonna need it.

Author's Comments: TLDR version after this if you don't want to read an extra paragraph. Ok so first thing first, this chapter got handled a little differently then my previous ones. Not sure how obvious this is but I flew solo on this one. My editor did not touch this chapter and won't be involved in the process as heavily going forward. Nothing bad happened me and him are still great friends and he will be at my house next week for d&d so all is good there. I've realized lately that I have bitten off way more than I can chew considering my plan is one date per chapter, 4 chapter per girl, an interlude between each set of dates and an epilogue for each girl. Now that is all going to still happen I'm just gonna care a bit less. So these take so long because I go over these things 20 times and that is becoming a problem. So im gonna try to limit my passes and focus on production, since im convinced it is the only and best way for me to improve at this point. Additionally my schedule is only going to get worse as I am going back to school for a second degree at the ripe age of 26. So wish me luck there. Also the story has been imported to Arhcive of Our own for anyone who prefers to read it there. All that said, thank you all for your patience and feedback. It means a lot to me how many people have enjoyed my story so far. Thanks to the guys on the discord for keeping things interesting and to all of you who made it this far. There's more to come and I hope you'll be with me then.

TLDR: I'm going to try to pump these out, quality will drop some. Doing this to improve, thanks for reading. Love you all. See you next time.
