"So," Evil asks, "how you been Null?"

"Pretty good," I reply, "still miss Uncannoned, but, with what I.T.'s working on, at least we'll have that. What about you guys?"

Evil sips his soda. "Still can't figure out the bacon flavored soda," he explains, "it tastes like grease."

He takes another sip. "Then stop drinking it bro," Good sighs.

"Nah," Evil replies, "soda is soda."

"What about you?" I ask, "everything good with you and End?"

"I'd bet he's trying to get his barrings in his new life. That or preparing for I.T. They're still gonna destroy that timeline if they can."

"Ah well," Evil smiles, "hey, while we're all together, why don't we play some ping pong? I have a table back at the lab."

"Sure," I smile, "let's go guys."

We begin towards Evil's lab, but I continue to think about Uncannoned. Wondering what he's up to, and more importantly, if he's OK...
