BB's dillema... did we spell that right?

*BB sobbs in a corner of the closet*

GRIZZLY: Hey, B. What's wrong?

BB: It's Petey! Oh, Grizzly - Petey DIED!!! *sobbs louder*

GRIZZLY: Oh. Sorry, B.

*Ninja and SVLVZVR walk in*

NINJA: Yo, what's wrong with her?

GRIZZLY: Petey died.

SVLVZVR: Oh, yeah... BB, don't cry! He wasn't even yours!

NINJA: Yeah. You still got the pidgeon, don't you?

BB: It's not the same!!! Petey was... well, he was Petey, and now he's... he's... *hides her face in her hands and cries*

GRIZZLY: Aw, jeez, B. It'll be alright! *puts an arm around BB's shoulders* Ninja's right, you know. You still have Phoenix and Jiquiro and Weirdo. Not to mention Marvie and Rocky. You gotta think about them too.

BB: B-but... oh, poor Petey! He just DIED, Grizzly! I don't know what happened! He just... dropped dead! Now Q-tip's gonna be all alone!

NINJA: Naw she won't! Stick her in the cage with the other bird and she'll be fine!

BB: NO!!! Don't you see? Phoenix is bigger than she is! She's only a parakeet! He'll kill her!

NINJA: Oh. Well then, buy another parakeet-thing. Problem solved.

BB: Oh, stop it Ninja! You don't understand! It's just not gonna be the same! Petey was NOT just a bird, he was... he was... he was Petey, that's all! NOBODY's gonna replace him! *keeps crying*

*SVLVZVR and Ninja exchange looks with a sigh*

SVLVZVR: Oh, cheer up, BB. Petey's in a better place now...

NINJA: Yeah, sure he is. He's in Birdie-Heaven now, with all the other birdies and stuff...

SVLVZVR: And you know, he wouldn't like to see you so sad.

NINJA: That's right. He'll be so bummed, he won't even get to enjoy his new 'hood or the other dead birdie-babes.

BB (*looking over at Ninja with shocked dissaproval*): Bridie-babes? Ninja - Petey already had a mate! That was Q-tip! He wouldn't want anyone else! And now he's ga-gone!!!

GRIZZLY: Nice going, you two.

SVLVZVR: Aw, it's Ninja who keeps messing things up! We're just trying to cheer her up!

GRIZZLY: Well, don't. You're making things worse, see? *points to BB, who's crying harder than before*

SVLVZVR: Oh, alright! Sorry. Let's go, Ninja.

NINJA: Yeah...

*SVLVZVR and Ninja leave the closet*

GRIZZLY: Shh... It's gonna be OK, B...

*Jack slithers in*

JACK (*looking slightly puzzled and worried*): What is wrong? What is wrong, BB?

BB: Petey died, Jack. He died...

JACK: Petey? Oh, yes! The pretty blue bird? Yes? Jack likes the pretty blue Petey-bird!

GRIZZLY: Well, he's dead now, Jack. That's why B's crying.

JACK: Dead? Did his head fall off? Jack did not take it off of the Petey-bird! Jack is innocent!

BB: I know you are, Jack. Nobody took his head off. He just died, that's all.

JACK: Jack doesn't understand. How can the Petey-bird just die?

BB: I don't know, Jack! *wails* Oh, poor Petey!!!

JACK: Do you want milk? Here - *holds out his milk glass* - it makes Jack feel better.

BB: No thanks, Jack. I don't feel like drinking anything...

*Jack frowns*

JACK: No milk?

BB: No, Jack... no milk. I just wanna be alone for a little bit. Is that OK with you Grizzly?

GRIZZLY: Yeah, I understand. C'mon, Jack.

JACK: All right... but Jack is leaving his milk in case BB changes her mind!

BB: Thanks.

*Jack walks out with Grizzly*

BB (*sniffling*): Oh, poor little Petey...

*Piojo enters the closet*

PIOJO: Hmph. Thought no one was in here. *noticing BB's tears* And what the hell are you whining about?

BB: Petey died!

PIOJO: Yeah. So?

BB (*indingnantly, crying some more*): What do you mean 'so'? He died!! If you're gonna be such an asshole, then leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to put up with your bullshit!

PIOJO (*grinning*): Now that's more like it! Why can't you people act like that all the time? Like you've actually got some balls?

BB: 'Cause we have feelings, not like you!

*Piojo sits down next to BB on the bed*

PIOJO: What's your point?

BB: Oh, Piojo - just go away, alright? I need to be alone!

PIOJO: Aw, do you need a hug? *grinns wickedly*

BB: Stop it! Why are you being such a bastard, hm? I haven't done anything to you! Just - go away. I want to be alone. I mean it.

PIOJO: I go wherever the fuck I wanna go. You want me out? Try and kick me out; we'll see who wins.

*BB sighs, then turns her back on Piojo and cries*

PIOJO: You all are such wussies, man. Crying over a stupid bird... Come 'ere... *reaches out and pulls BB towards him in a hug, wrapping his blanket around her*

BB (*sniffling into Piojo's blanket*): Why are you such a prick, Piojo? Why can't you ever be nice?

PIOJO: 'Cause that's not my job. My job is to keep everyone away, and smack reality into you idiots when you need it. So the damn bird died. So it hurts. You'll live. You've gone through worse shit before. We all have. So shut up, drink water and drive on, I say. But if you wanna sniffle and whine and drip tears and boogers all over the place, fine by me. Just don't take too long, alright? I can't stay like this with you forever, you know.

BB: Yeah, I know... *cries some more and cuddles into Piojo's embrace* Your blanket's really warm... What do you wear underneath this anyway?

PIOJO: That's for me to know and you to butt out.

*BB sniffs and cries and cuddles some more... and Piojo rolls his eyes exasperatedly*
