We're All Stars Now, In The Freak Show.

Cat Scratch Fever.

Dandy's p.o.v.

I was called into the kitchen by mother. She had found Dora's body. I tried to look the most devastated I could.

"Oh no! Someone must have broken in and killed her."

Mother turned to me and scowled. She started slapping me painfully.

"Do you realize that Dora was a mother?! Her daughter will be coming to check up on her soon."

Mother was beating me and I did nothing to stop her.  I felt nothing but pride for my murders.

"Just like all your other messes, mother has to clean up after you." I could tell she was angry now.

"Let me help you with this, Mother."

"No! You must stay in your room until I get all of this cleaned up." Mother shouted at me.

I sulked and shed a tear as I walked away, but once I walked completely away, I smiled.

Instead of going to my room, I decided to go to the freak show. I wanted to see if I could find those twins...or better yet, break that Lobster freaks hands.

As I drove to the forest near the freak show, I decided to take a walk. Remembering some of my childhood and thinking about the recent events...I started to sing a song.

Here I go again
Up and down alone
All my friends went home
Years ago

All my toys are broken and
So am I inside mom
The carnival has closed
Years ago

I'm a little boy
No, I'm a great big man
No, let's be a little boy
For a little while longer
Maybe an hour?
No Dandy
We have to go back now
Isn't that our mom calling?

Dandy?! Dandy?! Dandy, come home!

Mother!

Dandy, come home!

By this point, I was very near the freak show. I was hallucinating my childhood and my mother's attitude towards me.

I soon started hearing a sweet, soft voice singing another song. When I found the voice, I liked what I saw.

"Rhiannon rings like bell through the night, and wouldn't you love to love her?"

I was surprised by her looks, but turned on by her deformities. She was one gorgeous cat lady.

"Hello lovely," I said slyly, making myself visible to her.

"W-who are you?" she asked, obviously frightened.

"Don't be afraid. My name is Dandy Mott. What's your name?" I asked her, making her back away slightly.

It was that point that the Lobster freak showed up and told me to get lost before he'd make me get lost.

"I'll be back for you, my sweet pussy cat..." I called out to Rhiannon.

I saw her shudder before I disappeared into the forest.

Authors note:
I changed the lyrics to the song Years Ago by Alice Cooper to fit to Dandy's name.
