"Lipstick"

Dementia was dancing around the house, happily holding a small tube of lipstick that she had recently bought. It was ruby red, and she was ready to try it out on Black Hat. She giggled with anticipation. She adjusted her lizard skin and slithered inside Dr.Flug's lab and found him working with chemicals. He was carefully measuring and mixing the ingredients together, knowing full well if he made a mistake the lab would go up in flames, not for the first time.

Dementia snickered as she tip-toed behind him, her fingers slowly making their way towards his side.

"Hey Flug!" She bellowed. She quickly gave him a tickle when he screamed like a frightened child and fell back, landing on his behind.

"Ow!" He lifted his head to find Dementia looming above him with a large smile. He let out an annoyed growl. "Didn't Black Hat say that you weren't allowed to come in here while I'm working?"

"Yeasssssss." She hissed as she stuck out her tongue and giggled again. Flug dusted himself off while he got up.

"Well, please leave me alone. I'm making a very dangerous nerve agent for the company." Flug said. He stood in front of the table and picked up a new beaker. "It will instantly paralyze anyone that touches or breathes it in, and I really don't want that to happen to me."

She frowned and crossed her arms. "You're no fun!"

"Yeah, well I don't want to be locked in the linen closet again by the boss, so I really must finish this." He said sternly, sliding a batch of new chemical powders towards him.

"But l wanted to show you the new lipstick I got!"' Dementia whined, making Flug roll his eyes.

"Okay." He sighed, giving in as he turned around. "Show it to me."

Dementia, bouncing on her heels, brought out her new lipstick. It had a black and gold metal case and when she twisted it open the red lipstick revealed itself. It was as bright as a cherry lollipop. Flug stared at it, bored.

"Wow...that's great, Dementia." He said and turned back to his work station.

"It cost $150 dollars!" She exclaimed happily as she applied the lipstick.

"Wow, where did you get the money?" Dr.Flug asked as he carefully put a drop of liquid into his beaker. Dementia put her hands behind her back, and with a smile replied.

"I didn't, you did."

"I...wait, what?!" He whirled back at her and saw her shrug innocently.

"I took it from your piggy jar."

"You did what?! Noooo!" He shrieked and ran to the other side of the lab, where he kept his piggy bank. He found his poor ceramic pig shattered into pieces on top of a table. The murder weapon, a hammer, lay right beside it. Flug fell to his knees with tears welling up in his goggles.

"Benjamin!" He yelled out. His eyes swiftly narrowed with anger, his arms shaking as he turned back to her. "Dementia!" But she was already gone, having skipped away before he had the chance to reprimand her.

Dementia put on another layer of lipstick and threw it down the hall. She stood in front of Black Hat's office and peeked inside.

"Oh BH?" She sang. Black Hat grumbled at being disturbed. He glanced up at Dementia from his desk and went back to writing.

"What is it now, Dementia? Can't you see I'm busy paying these idiotic bills?" He snarled, scribbling across the paper violently.

She slid inside and sat on the desk, leaning her head on top of Black Hat's hat. His eyes went down in disbelief and lifted up his arm, which he used to shove her off of him.

"I'm not in the mood for one of your games." He growled, continuing his work. She jumped up from the ground.

"I got a new lipstick!" She grinned.

"I don't care."

"Its cherry flavored!"

"Still don't bloody care."

"I wanted to try it out on you." She smirked as she leaned forward. Black Hat's scribbling suddenly stopped when he realized what was happening. He whirled around and began to run to the door until he was tackled by Dementia from behind.

"Dementia! No! Get off!" He yelled, but she giggled loudly when she lifted him back towards her. She wrapped her arms around his neck possessively, making Black Hat jerk his head back, avoiding her puckered lips. "Unhand me! Don't you dare!"

Loud screaming filled the mansion, waking 5.0.5 from his nap and run off towards Flug's laboratory. The sudden screaming made Flug abandon his work and dive into the panic room. When the screaming finally stopped, Dementia skipped out of Black Hat's office, humming happily with hearts in her eyes. Black Hat slowly got up, his suit and tie disheveled as if he walked out of a shady alley. His whole face and monocle was covered in red lipstick marks. He stuck out his tongue in disgust.

"Flug! Get me the cleansing chalk!" He shouted to the heavens.
