(Btw, before this starts, Cherry's wings are bat wings.)

After Grey woke up and Cedric gave him his previous to change back to, he went to the bathroom to relieve himself and brush his teeth. While he did so, the other Freelancers gathered around to decide who would go next.

"Let's do rock-paper-scissors," said Cedric, "Whoever beats the most people sees Grey last, second-most goes sixth, and so on."

"But shouldn't I go last?" Ash asked, indignantly. "I AM the leader after all and it would only be fitting!"

"Nice try Ash. Just because you're the leader doesn't mean you don't have play fair," said Cedric.

"But-"

"Ay, we're all doing this bitch, si te gusta o no," said Cherry.

Ash then crossed his arms and he would've pouted if he had a mouth.

"Any other objections?" asked Cedric.

"Nope," said everyone except Benjamin and Vicky.

"I'll just observe and keep track of the score since I've already gone," said Vicky, getting her clipboard and pencil ready.

"Do we have to do this stupid shit, darling?" asked Benjamin, still against the whole thing.

"Yes we do have to do this 'stupid shit', darling," said Cedric mockingly.

"Fuck you," said Benjamin, as he went to Ash and pulled the same expression and pose as him except w/ an angry lip curl.













...







Once the game was finished (Benjamin had to be forced to move his mitts to play), these were the results. Cedric got the most wins as he beat everyone so he would go last. Ash got second-most as he lost to Cedric. Oliver got the third most as he had lost to Cedric and Ash. Benjamin got fourth, Pete got fifth, and Cherry, despite her fabulousness, ended up losing hard as she was never any good at this game. She wasn't mad though as she wanted to spend time w/ Grey ASAP for some fun. As the others either went to do what they normally do or have breakfast in the kitchen, Grey walked into the living room. Cherry strutted over to him.

"Hey, pequeña puta, you'll be spending the day w/ my bitch ass self. >:) I'll get us some breakfast first though."

She went to the kitchen, reached into the fridge, and pulled out two bread things that had each had something between them.

Just then, the TV flashed and someone spoke on it.

"Hello. Is this the Freelance Seven?"

Grey was about to write and ask what that was about, but Cherry beat him to it.

"You'll learn what's all about soon enough. Now, follow my bitch ass. We have a whole day together and I don't want to fucking waste it. Also here's your sandwich," she said whilst handing Grey the bread thing.

When Grey bit into the sandwich, he didn't know what was in it but he loved it. They walked (in Cherry's case, she strutted while stretching her wings) over to the room that Vicky and Cherry shared. Instead of going to Vicky's side, they went to Cherry's side this time. This side was even more of a mess upon closer inspection. There were clothes strewn everywhere, the bed was messy, the box thing had two parts sticking out, there were a couple of bottles that said "Viagra" here and there, one or two small boxes, a ball w/ a band, and, strangest of all, weird-looking things that sort of resembled both of his privates. Those made him feel a little sick as he finished the sandwich. His face also felt weird but in a bad way this time.

"Whatever you do, don't touch the dildos and fleshlights," said Cherry as she rummaged through her box, "They are those weird things on the floor and you would have power wash your hands afterward. Trust me, I'm a slutty freak w/ them whenever I can't get someone."

Grey took her word for it and took and a large step back.

"Now where did I put that fucking- oh, there it is!"

Cherry stepped back and brought forth a rectangular black box that had a handle on it. It had several objects poking out from the sides.

What's that? Grey wrote, curious but still staying back.

"This," said Cherry w/ an air of flamboyance, "is my motherfucking prank chest! >:]"

Grey just looked at the chest and her in confusion.

Cherry sighed, clearly annoyed. "A prank is when you do something to someone they most likely don't like for your enjoyment."

But that doesn't sound enjoyable in the slightest, it just sounds despicable! 😟

"It's not. Pranks are harmless and while they might annoy the person they're done to, they're fun and fucking harmless."

Grey then held his arms out to the sides and closed his eyes.

"Um, what the fuck are you doing?" Cherry asked w/ an eyebrow cocked.

I disagreed w/ you. I was out of line. I'm ready for the punishment, Grey wrote.

"Look," Cherry said, w/ her arms crossed and a serious expression on her face for once, "I might be a whole bitch, but I'm not THAT kind of person. Now come and help me set these up, you big fucking patchwork marshmallow cinnamon roll."

She pushed the prank chest into Grey's arms.

"Now. Let's prank some bastards!" >:]

Cherry then made her way to the door w/ Grey following closely behind. She made her way to an adjacent door.

"This is Ash and Oliver's room. Face the chest to me," Cherry said w/ a sly grin.







...





They went from door to door, putting different inconvenient things in each room up until they got to Grey/Cedric's room.

"Ah. My dear old half brother's room," Cherry said.

What's a half brother? Grey wrote.

Cherry fixed him w/ a serious stare.

"You're fucking w/ me. Right?"

Grey just looked at her, confused.

"Shit," said Cherry while facepalming, " A brother is a male sibling. A sibling is a person that comes from the same parents as you."

Parents?

Not even Sonic could catch Cherry's jaw before it hit the floor. (Is this pedazo de mierda for real?)

"Parents are the people you fucking come from. I won't go into detail, but Cedric and I are from the same father, which is the male parent, but we have different mothers, which is the female parent."

How are you from one father but two mothers?

"Cedric's mother, or mom, was w/ our father, our dad, first and they made Cedric together but that skanky whore left him after Cedric was born. A few months later, he met my fabulous mom and they had my ass."

Oh, wrote Grey, not sure of what to say.

"Eh, don't worry about it. Now, let's go prank my half bro!"

Wait, we're pranking him? Grey asked w/ a look of horror on his face.

"Yeah, of course, we're going to set up some foam bombs in his bed. Now. Open the chest."

Grey actually didn't obey and he even held the chest against his chest.

"Grey, what are doing? Give me the fucking chest!" said Cherry angrily.

Grey just looked at her w/ a very sad expression w/ tears in his eyes. He put the case behind him.

Beat me if you want. I know you most likely want to. But I can't let you do this to Cedric. ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡

Cherry's demeanor softened at that. She put her hands on Grey's shoulders and lowered herself a bit.

"Hey. Don't be like that. We don't have to prank Cedric if it makes you feel so bad. Also, I would never beat you. I'm not that kind of person and shouldn't expect any of us to be like that either." And w/ that, she hugged him. Grey, not knowing what to do, moved his arms unsurely.

"This is a hug," he heard Cherry say, "Just wrap your arms around me."

Grey did just that and it felt wonderful. Eventually, Cherry let go and Grey couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had never experienced something like that w/ the cultists before and it felt really nice.

"Oh my God, would you look at the fucking time," Cherry said, back to her usual self, "It's time for lunch. Follow me, little puta, and I'll make us something."

Grey followed her back to the kitchen, feeling newfound respect for the demoness. In the living room, no was there except for Cedric and Oliver who were on the couch watching something on the TV.

"Is everyone else on a shitty mission but your bitch asses?" Cherry asked.

Cedric turned back to her and said, "Yep, bitch."

He looked at Grey and smiled. Grey, of course, felt weird in the face again. Cherry, seeing this, couldn't help but grin.

Looks like I've found a new ship, she thought.

"Come on Grey. I'm making us lunch then I'm taking you outside," said Cherry.

Grey, snapping out of his Cedric-induced blush fest, hurriedly made his way to his seat at the meal table.

I have no fucking doubt now that this will be fucking adorable, thought Cherry as she got out the ingredients for their meal.





...





"Lunch is served!" said Cherry as she put a strange meal along w/ a cup in front of Grey and on her spot, "It's Arroz con Pollo y Habichuelas, otherwise known as rice w/ chicken and beans to most people. As for the drink, it's plain milk. Try it, it's really fucking good, you little puta."

Grey took his fork and knife, put some of each part on the fork, and put the fork into his stitched mouth. The flavor that hit his big patchwork tongue was like no other. It was so WONDERFUL! It was even better than the food from the previous night! He shoveled the food in as fast as he could.

"Mierda, I knew my cooking was good, but I didn't know it would make you it's bitch!" shouted Cherry, touched that someone loved her cooking so much.

A few minutes later, Grey was done w/ both the food and the milk. Once he was done, Grey laid back and put his hands on his big, tubby, patchy belly, and had a big, contented smile on his big, soft, homely face. Cherry, who almost done, looked at him w/ a smirk.

"You like my cooking?" Cherry asked. Grey nodded. "Good."

She then finished shortly after and took the dishes to the kitchen.

"Get up, we're going out," Cherry said.

Grey got up and followed Cherry to the door. She opened the door and they walked out. When they walked out, Grey couldn't help but look up, down, and all around. The world outside of the home he'd been staying in was unbelievable! There were huge blocky homes, small blocky homes, weird metallic-looking blocks moving along a weird path, and a whole bunch of people walking around. It was an experience like no other!

What ARE all these things?! Grey wrote.

Cherry sighed. This would be a long walk.









...





Eventually, after a long walk where Grey gawked at everything and asked Cherry what everything was, much to her chagrin, they finally reached a building. On top, in big pink and black letters, was the title: Punk's Clothing.

"Finally!" shouted Cherry, kind of sick of the questions, "We're here."

Grey looked at her, confused.

"I brought you here to show you this place and get some new clothes for us."

They walked in. The interior was mostly dark except for the dimmish lights above and the clothes which each had different colored designs that glowed in the dark. When Grey looked down at his shirt, he noticed that the pink on his shirt was glowing and so was the pink on Cherry's shirt.

Speaking of Cherry, she breathed the scent of the place (which wasn't really anything) deeply and said, "Ooooh yeah, that's it! God, I do I LOVE this fucking place! >:D Come on Grey. Let's go pick out some clothes! >:)"











...





After the pair got some clothes for Grey (Cherry found that there wasn't anything interesting for her that day), they went to the changing room for males.

"This is a changing room," said Cherry to Grey, "Take the clothes we picked out in there w/ you and change into each clothing piece one at a time for both a shirt and pants to see how they look."

Grey went into the changing room, changed into different pair of jeans and a shirt w/ a red design on it (his belly still hung out awkwardly), and walked out.

"Hmmm," said Cherry, looking Grey up and down, "Turn around." Grey turned. "Ok, that looks great on you. Let's try the next one."

Grey went to try on the next outfit (the shirt had a cyan design) and while he did so, he wrote down something. When he was done, he stepped out and repeated the process from the first outfit complete w/ Cherry saying that it looked good and telling Grey to change into the next outfit, except this time Grey showed Cherry what he wrote.

Why do I feel so weird when I'm w/ Cedric?

"Isn't it obvious? You're fucking in love w/ him!" Cherry said.

What is love? S:( Grey wrote.

Cherry couldn't help but just pinch her forehead and face away.

"Love," Cherry said after turning back, "is when you're attracted to someone deeply. You can't help but think of that person fondly, you can't help but feel all weird and good at the same time around them, and you can't get them out of your thoughts. You can't help but fucking WANT that person and you want to be w/ them forever! Except you still have to treat that person like a person and give them space when needed."

Really? If that's what's been bothering me, then I am REALLY in love w/ Cedric. (●･̆◡･̆●)

"I fucking knew it! This is great! Finish up w/ that last outfit and let's go back home."

Grey went back into the changing room, changed into the outfit w/ the yellow designed shirt, and went back out.

"Eh, yellow's not really a good look for you. Also, those jeans kinda bleh. Let's get the red and cyan outfits, but leave the yellow outfit here."

After Grey put his regular clothes back on, Cherry got the clothes and she went to the cashier to pay for them. After that, they walked home.

"Did you enjoy that experience de mierda?" Cherry asked as they neared the base.

Grey nodded.

"Nice," Cherry said as she opened the door.

When they stepped inside, all the Freelancers were there. All of them, except for Cedric and Oliver, looked disheveled, shell shocked, and/or irritable.

"Good mission?" asked Cherry w/ a smirk.

"Shut up, whore," said Benjamin, angrily.

Cherry, stoic for once, walked up to Benjamin.

"What do you want, hoe?"

Cherry then spat on her hand and clapped Ben's face. HARD. He just looked at her in shock and anger while holding his face. Everyone else, particularly Cedric and ESPECIALLY Grey, looked on in stunned silence.

"Come Grey. We still have one last activity to do," Cherry said while walking away.

Benjamin, snapping out of his stupor, suddenly ran at Cherry. Cherry, not turning around, reeled her leg forward, kicked it back, and nailed Benjamin right in the stomach. Benjamin paused for a moment and immediately collapsed and tried to regain his breath. Pete immediately rushed to help his brother while everyone else was just shocked. Cedric, in stark contrast, actually had a wide grin on his face.

"Come one Grey. Let's not waste any more time on this pathetic waste of space," Cherry said acidly.

Grey, still shook, just followed Cherry, unsure of what to think of that fiasco. They went to Vicky Cherry's room.

"Here we are. It's time for the last part of our time together. The battle part. Are you ready?"

Grey wasn't entirely sure, but he knew this wouldn't be over until he said yes and he also didn't want to go against Cherry, so he nodded.

"Good," Cherry said, as they stepped into the room.

They went to Cherry's have of the room. She flew up and summoned two red balls in her hands.

"Prepárate puta."

FIGHT START!

(Song: Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez)

"This is a survival fight. All you have to avoid my attacks as best as you can for a few minutes. Unlike Vicky's fight, though, this will be a lot more hectic."

Cherry then started zipping all around the room, throwing those balls everywhere. When they touched the floor, they exploded. Grey had to dash and maneuver quickly to narrowly avoid the exploding balls. Cherry, oddly enough, was doing strange movements as she threw the balls w/ a determined happy face. Eventually, she summoned long strips of red from both of her hands and started whipping them around while still throwing exploding balls. Grey had a difficult time dodging them all and his health bar was dropping steadily as a result. He still persisted despite this and eventually Cherry stopped what she was doing. Grey's health was at 45%.

"Cabron, that was fun! Grey, thanks for the fun time," said Cherry as she lowered herself.

VICTORY!

"Whew! That was great, but now we've got to go. It's time for dinner."

Grey, left sweating and panting from that ordeal, was overjoyed at those words.

When they got to the living room, everyone else was gone.

"Huh, guess we took so fucking long that we didn't notice it was getting late," Cherry said w/ her hands on her hips, "Well that's fine. I'll just make us some sandwiches and call it a shitty night."

Cherry made them both sandwiches (spoiler: Grey thought his was delicious) and they each got ready for bed. When Grey put on his towel and went to the room he shared w/ Cedric, he saw that the monster was already asleep and he couldn't help but smile w/ that weird feeling in his face.

I wonder if he loves me back, Grey thought, kinda doubting it but also kind of hopeful at the prospect.

He then sifted through the box Cedric put clothes in. He took out his nightclothes and a pair of underwear and put them on and put his day clothes in their place. Grey then settled into his bed. He slowly drifted off to sleep, his thoughts full of his day w/ Cherry and of Cedric.
