with a sharp crackle of static build-up. Nnnghh... Ohh yeah... zap the hell out of me, he
moaned breathlessly, trying to push through her to the bed. He wrapped his arms around
her, vaguely aware she had managed to magic off the ties holding her down.
Franticly Twink shook off the scarves and wrapped her legs around him then her
arms, holding as tight as she could, the vibration from the buzzing making her teeth hurt.
Suddenly she cried out, calling his name, and there was a brilliant blue flash. Every hair
he had stood straight out and he muffled his scream in the crook of her neck, his body
jerking and shuddering as he came.
He woke a few hours later and gingerly crawled out of bed, his legs wobbling a
bit as he headed for the bathroom. Damn! he thought, And that folks is why I put up
with the most annoying woman in the universe, thank you very much.

Settled comfortably in front of the TV Glenn glanced up when Twink walked in.
He was feeling magnanimous and pretty damn mellow at the moment so he held out his
arm and motioned her over to him. She winced a little but still scampered over to sit on

the couch next to him. She snuggled close and he pulled her closer, planting a kiss on the
top of her disheveled head.
The scene of domestic bliss lasted all of two minutes before Twink moaned and
hopped up, running to the bathroom and interrupting his show. He scowled at her and
when she came back and tried to cuddle again he gave her a nudge that dumped her off
the couch.
The moment s gone Twink, go sit down somewhere and watch the show.
She pouted and went to sit at the computer. Glenn snapped his fingers and
pointed away from the PC.
Was just gonna look. She glared at him.
No eBay, you don t know when to quit.
Glennie-poop, party pooper... OW! She rubbed the spot on her forehead where
the pencil he d thrown at her had hit her. Picking it up she looked it over and began to
nibble at it. She d already gone through four pencils, three notebooks, a CD, and a
ballpoint pen by the time he noticed her munching on a piece of something white.
That s nine, and what in the world are you eating?
Nine what? Twink asked, confused, a piece of toilet paper stuck to her bottom
lip.
Nine trips to the bathroom, sit the hell down, he d been counting her trips to the
bathroom.
She sat. After a short moment she began to fidget, bouncing and making a faint
buzzing. She couldn t sit there any longer and leapt up, practically flying down the hall
to the bathroom.
Twink- Glenn began angrily, trailing off on fascination when he saw her partly
flying down the hall. He had never seen her actually use her wings before and it was an
amazing sight, rather like watching a hummingbird fly.

When Twink smacked into the wall, missing the bathroom door, Glenn thought it
might be a good idea to go and see what she d gotten herself stoned on this time. He
glanced back at the TV and sighed.
Later, he thought as the music came up and the title credits began. Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers was one of his favorites, especially the scene where each girl claims
the baby is hers. He snickered to himself and was soon oblivious to the noises of a very
ill fairy in the bathroom.
Some time later a bedraggled and very miserable Twinklebell crept into
the living room. She curled up in a little ball on the end of the couch and watched Glenn
watching his movie. Suddenly her eyes got wide and she whimpered. "Oh nooo!
They re crawling up the walls!" Twinklebell wailed miserably, pointing at the wall.
There s nothing there Twink, what is wrong with you?
She burst into tears and he looked at her coldly. You don t love me, she wailed
in a tone that he just knew had to bend metal.
So? You don t love me either.
She went off in a fresh gale of tears and he shrugged, walking over and
slinging her over his shoulder. He carried her into the bedroom and dumped her onto the
bed. Sleep it off. I m going out.
Twink sniveled and flipped him off with a zap to the butt as he turned to go. He
turned back and made a lunging grab for her, barely missing his hold on her. He grabbed
again and caught her foot before she could slide off the other side of the bed.
Twink you just don t learn, do you. Glenn looked down at her and smacked her
cheek, almost affectionately.

Suddenly Twink sat up and twined her arms around him, "Even the crafty Luis
could not keep me from you, my perfect little carrot!" She said in her most sultry voice
as she rubbed herself against him.

Luis? Who the hell is Luis? What the hell is going on with you Twink? Glenn
eyed her warily.
"I've thought of you every minute I've been away, Adored One!"
You haven t been anywhere Twink.
Only because you never take me anywhere, she whined, clinging to him.
You re ashamed of me.
Damn! Let go of me! He managed to push her away and headed for the door.
You re crazy! I m getting out of here right now! He stormed out the door, slamming it
behind him. Dispatch!
Yes?
What the hell is wrong with her? She s acting like she s lost her mind or
something.
Oh dear. I was afraid of this when you threw everything out.
Afraid of what!?
Um, ahem, apparently in your cleaning zeal you also threw out Twinklebell s
birth control...
Glenn stopped mid stride and nearly fell down the stairs. Tell me you didn t just
tell me what you just told me, his voice full of dread.
Ahem, well, um, sorry, but, um, well, there it is.
Twink is going to have a baby... Glenn felt ill.
Well, not precisely...
No baby?
Ah, I ve rarely seen a litter of less than ten.
Litter?! Ten?! Glenn squeaked, suddenly unable to breathe.
Oh at least. Of course the record is ninety-two.
Damn, Glenn said weakly. Tell me it s not her family.
I believe Twinklebell was number eighty-three.
