Chapter 12: Egg Destroyers

3rd Person's POV:
"Ffgna! You scared me!" Grim shouted, clinging tightly on Andie's shoulder as they faced the owner. He was a lithe young man with magenta eyes, black-and-purple dreads flipped over the right side of his head, and an undercut. He has white skeletal markings painted beneath his eyes, on his neck, on his chest, and on his forearms. There are also white rib markings on the bright purple vest he wears beneath his maroon blazer; this skeletal motif is complete with a small skull affixed to his hat. On the side of his blazer, he wears a pin resembling the talisman Dr. Facilier uses to transform Prince Naveen into a frog. He also wears a black apron, tied together with a black-and-white ribbon. He has a single pocket visible near his hip, which holds a green hamsa-type object inside.

"Welcome to Mr. S's Mystery Shop. What can I do for you today? A charm for uncharted lands? Mummy of an ancient king? Or how about some cursed tarot cards?" He asked as he brought out the said objects to show them. "Uh... are those cards actually cursed?" Andie asked curiously and nervously, Sam chuckled at her, tipping his hat and giving her a bow. "Ah, so you're the little lady who's being the talk of the town around here. Yessiree, little missy, but that's not all I've got." Sam said, "I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried!" He emphasized this by taking out a very small box and opening it, letting out a massive demon like creature made out of fire screeching in rage, causing Deuce and Grim to scream and Andie to look at it in awe and fear.

Sam laughed wholeheartedly as he quickly shut the box and tossed it away like it was nothing. "Whatever ya'll need, I've got it right here." "This guy is definitely like Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog." Andie thought, "Um... We'd like the things written here." Deuce said as he handed Sam the list Trey gave him. "And some canned tuna!" Grim said, "No! We don't need any tuna!" Deuce said firmly, Grim pouts, crossing his paws. "What what? Whip cream, eggs... a nice sweet like up. Ok! Coming right up." Sam said, winking at them and went to the back of the shop to get them.

"Whoa... does he really have them here?" Deuce questioned, "Well, he looks confident, so he's gotta have them here. Let's just look around until he comes back." Andie said and Deuce agreed, seeing that there wasn't anything else they can do. Andie and Deuce looked through several objects in the shop and testing the piano while Grim, probably due to his feline curiosity (or the fact he won't admit he is a cat), is playing with anything that appears to shine under the light often jumping from shelf to shelf. As Andie looks at the trinkets like the small charms, the jewels, talismans and ancient looking ones with some of them held fairy like esque to them, Andie saw a black book.

She picks it up and opens it, only to see clear pages, but when she saw the opening on the clear pages, she realized this book is actually a photo album.

"Sorry about the wait." Andie quickly closes the book and put it back where it belongs as Sam came back and set the bags of items from the list on his desk and the teens went to collect them. "It's a bit heavy, you got it? If you order now, you can get a 1/100 size floating platter to carry your purchases for 30% off!" "What's that? It sounds cool!" Grim said, thinking it's a good deal to buy, but for Andie, even though she just met him, she knew that it doesn't seem right. "W-We're fine! Time to go, Grim!" Deuce said already in buying the items as he and Andie gathered them, leaving Grim to grumble and complain on top of Andie's head.

"Ffny! I wanna hang out more!" "Maybe next time Grim." Andie said, thinking of coming back to get the photo album. "Ok, ok. Make sure to come by again, my little demons. Bye!" Sam said, smiling happily as he waved them goodbye, and the door shuts behind them.

Sometime later, Andie and Deuce walked down Main Street, making their way back to school as the sun sets. "That store was crazy." Deuce said, "Really? I personally find that store interesting." Andie said, "Tssk. Stingy Deuce." Grim grumbled, "Who are you calling stingy?" Deuce glares at him, "Guys..." Andie warns and the two stayed quiet. But Deuce noticed Andie adjusting the bag from one hand to another. "Hmm, Andie-san, that bag of cans looks pretty heavy. I'll carry it." "Are you sure?" Andie asked concerned, "It's not that heavy. I can carry it." The bag was a bit heavy, but it wasn't anything she could do. "I'm sure. I'm used to carry heavy stuff." Deuce said as he took the bag from Andie.

"Do you usually buy a lot when you go shopping?" Andie asked. Deuce nodded as he gave her a fainted smile, then he shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah. My mom always buys more than we need during time sales, and I get stuck carrying all the heavy stuff. Since I'm the only man in the house, it was my job to take care of anything requiring strength..." Deuce looks back at Andie and blushes when he saw her smiling kindly at him. "Oh, my bad. I've been talking about myself." He said with a sheepish smile. "No, it's fine. I think it's really sweet of you to help around the house, you must really care about your mom." Deuce tried to smile back but found himself unable to and Andie noticed this as he looked away.

"What's wrong?" Andie asked, wondering why he looks so sad. "... That's not true at all. I always made my mom-Ooof!" Deuce was suddenly cut off when he bumped into something as the bag of eggs fell out from her hands and landed on the ground with several cracks. "Aaah! The eggs!" Grim yelled. "Shit, half of the eggs are destroyed! There's egg all over the bag!" Deuce yelled, Andie looked up and saw the same Heartslabyul punks from the cafeteria! "Hey you! Watch where you're... wait... you're the fools that wrecked the egg in my carbonara! And you're the bitch that beat me up!" The white haired snarled.

"It's you guys again. You can't catch a break!" His friend said, "Oh no, not you two again." Andie glares at the delinquents. "You were the ones who jumped out from behind the corner. At lunch, it wasn't like you couldn't eat the egg anymore, but you still came to pick a fight..." Deuce said, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Just now, you destroyed half of our eggs." "Yeah, that's right!" Grim shouted in agreement, "And? You sayin' it's our fault?" The white-haired delinquent roughly questioned, "Wow, you two really need us to spell it out for ya?" Andie said as she crossed her arms, "You sayin' we're stupid or somethin'?" The red haired questioned rudely, "Didn't have to. You just said it for me." Andie said with a smirk, and the two delinquents' glares at her as red veins appear on their heads.

"Please pay for the eggs. And please apologize to the chickens too." "Wait, what did he just say?" Andie thought as she looks at Deuce with confusion, but turn back to the delinquents as the red head delinquent said, "Hmmm? You're getting all worked up over eggs." "... Huh?" "They didn't hit the ground, right? Don't sweat the small stuff." The silver haired delinquent said with a smug grin, "We saved you the trouble of breaking them!" The red head gloated as he gave Deuce a rough shove, and the two delinquents laughed, causing Andie to glare harder at them. "Grrr... I had enough of these two...." "... to laugh about." Deuce let out a snarl. The two delinquents and Andie saw Deuce with his head down, his hair covering his eyes. "Huh?" "This ain't something to laugh about!" Deuce looks up back at the delinquents, his face twisted in rage. "You don't get to make decisions for us! These eggs... instead of becoming a chick, they were gonna make us a delicious tart!! You get it! Huuuh!?" Deuce bellowed. Andie looked at him in shock, "It's the same attitude Deuce showed back at the mine!" Andie thought.

"What's this guy's problem all the sudden!?" The red head delinquent questioned as he and his friend look at Deuce with fear and they took a step back away from him. "If you don't wanna pay for the six eggs you broke... I'll punch you six times instead!" Deuce threatens with a dark menacing glint in his eyes as he cracked his knuckles. "Whaaaa!?" "Grit your teeth, assholes!!" Deuce roars as he charged at them. He didn't even unhook his magic pen; he just ran straight towards them and starts beating them up. Andie couldn't believe what she's seeing as she watches Deuce pummeling them in shock. It was like Deuce was a whole different person, he's acting like a delinquent. "What the hell just happened!?" Andie thought.
