Drew was still at the mercy of Nikki’s ranting; she was waving the celery stick around like a machete…
          "Do you know how long it took me to lose all that weight; All that horrible food I had to eat, all…That…EXERCISE." She accented the last with a thrust of the celery stick in the face.
          "But you haven’t lost any…" Drew took one more look at Nikki and cut himself short.
          Drew watched in amazement as she pushed him back into a chair that had appeared out of nowhere; Nikki had definitely lost some of that kindness and loving she had in life.
          She moved to his side and a table appeared before him, on it lay a feast of dishes. All however were covered so he could not see what was in them, but given the smell emanating from them he guessed they were vegetarian.
          "You made me fat, now I’m going to return the favour, and make you taut and trim." She grinned evilly, bits of chocolate pudding in her teeth. Drew cringed, but quickly perked up, "Not necessary, I’m quite happy with who I am and feel comfortable with my body size."
          This sent Nikki into a rage, she pulled the lid off the dish closest to Drew, pulled out a spoonful of…Drew couldn’t quite recognise what it was, though given the shape he could only assume it was vegetables, extremely overcooked and soggy. This was worse than the rice crackers, grey overcooked vegetables…Nikki had become truly evil.
          Drew tried to get out of the seat, but seemed stuck to it, he couldn’t budge. He was resigned to clamping his mouth shut and moving his head side to side, as Nikki tried to force the spoon into his mouth.
          "Come on Drew, the sooner you eat these, the sooner you can finish off the rest of these delights." She stopped trying to force feed him for a few minutes, as she went around the table and removed the lids from the rest of the dishes. Tofu burgers, plain garden salad – no dressing - sprout quiche, veggie hot dogs, all a diet/health freak’s course de jour.
          "And when you’ve eaten all these, you can have your treat." She held out her hand on which a sliver of chocolate lay. "A piece of carob chocolate, yummy but healthy."
          Drew’s face dropped in despair, he could have been onto his eleventh plate of marinated spare ribs at the Warsaw by now.
          Seeing his lull in concentration, Nikki grabbed his chin and jabbed the spoon into his mouth, depositing its contents. She was trying to force him to swallow when a movement out the corner of her eye caught her attention. She turned to see the Gratuitous Naked Chick standing next to them.
          "Is that really necessary?" the Gratuitous Naked Chick asked melodically.
          Nikki let go of Drew and put her hands on her hips. "Butt out, this is none of your business… Is it really necessary for you to go around naked?"
          The Gratuitous Naked Chick frowned slightly in confusion, then answered with a resounding, "Yes."
          Nikki groaned and looked at Drew to see if he was getting an eyeful, he was however too busy spitting out the sorry excuse for food that she had shoved in his mouth.
          "Besides," the girl murmured, siding up to Drew, "I like him."
          Drew looked up to see the girl right in front of him, her friendly smile distorted by the cut that went from the corner of her mouth to her ear. He gave Nikki a cheeky grin and promptly returned to spitting out the remaining vegetables.
          Nikki scowled, "The only reason you like him is because he reminds you of Buddy."
          It was the girl’s turn to scowl, she was rubbing her hand along Drew’s head, fascinated by the feel of his short hair. "No, his hair is all wrong and he’s much bigger…" She pouted, yanking on Drew’s hair as she did, causing him to wince. "You’re just jealous because guys don’t like fat chicks like you." She smiled at Drew again, having let go of his hair he was now backing away in his seat. There was a growl emanating from Nikki and he knew that meant danger.
          Nikki launched herself at the girl, sending the girl flying and letting her land against a wall. Nikki stood her ground, "I’d like to see you do that you scrawny skank."
          The girl regained her balance, let out a primal scream and jumped at Nikki, sending them both flying through the table and onto the floor, where they continued to fight. Drew meanwhile had got up and left.
