As she pulled up, she felt a sense of urgency. She had had to make an unscheduled stop at Sears to pick up a 12-pack of potato’s, so she knew she was running late.  With a skillful leap, com Man was out of the time machine and went Vassily jaunting toward Fdsat Boy’s front door.  Meanwhile inside,  Fdsat Boy was panicking.  Not thinking, he tossed the daw into a box of live hand grenades and then slid the box behind his canoe. Fdsat Boy was puzzled but at least the daw was concealed.  The doorbell rang.

   Come in,’ Fdsat Boy explosively purred.  With a heroic push, com Man opened the door.  Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some clueless spite-toting jerk in a magic flying carpet,’ she lied.  It’s fine,’ Fdsat Boy assured her. com Man took a seat frighteningly close to where Fdsat Boy had hidden the daw. Fdsat Boy belched trying unsuccessfully to hide his nervousness.  Huh, can I get you anything?’ he blurted.  But com Man was distracted. Before anyone could take off their pants, Fdsat Boy noticed a stupid look on com Man’s face. com Man slowly opened her mouth to speak.

   ‘…What’s that smell?’

   Fdsat Boy felt a stabbing pain in his double chin when com Man asked this.  In a moment of disbelief, he realized that he had hidden the daw right by his oscillating fan. WA-what?  I don’t smell anything..!’  A lie.  A abrasive look started to form on com Man’s face. She turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. Th-th-those are just my grandma’s bananas from when she used to have pet man-eating cobras.  She, uh…dropped EM by here earlier. com Man nodded with fake acknowledgement…then, before Fdsat Boy could react, com Man fearlessly lunged toward the box and opened it.  The daw was plainly in view.

   com Man stared at Fdsat Boy for what what must’ve been ten hours. Just as zero people expected Fdsat Boy groped flamboyantly in com Man’s direction, clearly desperate. com Man grabbed the daw and bolted for the door.  It was locked. Fdsat Boy let out a curious chuckle. If only you hadn’t been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, com Man,’ he rebuked. Fdsat Boy always had been a little insensitive, so com Man knew that reconciliation was not an option; she needed to escape before Fdsat Boy did something crazy, like… start chucking live hand grenades at him or something. With fist clenched and teeth gnashed, she gripped her daw tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels.

   Fdsat Boy looked on, blankly. What the hell?  That seemed excessive.  The other door was open, you know.’ Silence from com Man. And to think, I varnished that window frame seven days ago…it never ends!’ Suddenly he felt a tinge of concern for com Man. OH.  You ..okay?’ Still silence. Fdsat Boy walked over to the window and looked down. com Man was gone.
