Mrs. Lovett looked at Ella curiosly. "Well, I suppose you could clean up a bit 'round the shop 'ere. But I'd hafta talk to Mr. T 'fore I hire anyone." She explained.

I smiled. "Thank you, ma'am!" I said happily, and ran back to Toby to tell him. "Yeah, well, if you took better pay from Mr. Pirelli, you wouldn't have to." He said, and I frowned. "Quiet. Eat your pie." I mumbled.

I looked at the two curiously, but didn't question them. I thought about going up to see Mr. Todd again. I couldn't figure it out but....I was drawn to him. I wanted to see him. I sighed, realizing he probably didn't want to see me....

"Ella, Signor Pirelli's got an apointment! There's a beatin in it for me if I let him forget!" Toby said suddenly, running for the door. "Wait!" Mrs. Lovett called, and I stared at her. "Why should he have to wait? What is going on up there?" I asked, running after Toby.

((lets skip ahead to after. i dont feel like going thru the whole thing. but remember, todd kills pirellis brother and threatens pirelli, who then fleas town and will eventually come back.))
I walked up the steps to Mr. Todd's room. Ella was downstairs with Mrs. Lovett, still trying to figure out where Pirelli had gone. Lovett and I knew the truth though...Toby sat below as well, passed out from all the gin in Mrs. Lovett's parlor. A sigh escaped my lips. I didn't know what we were going to do with them. It worried me to think that they may have to die. I knew Mr. Todd wouldn't trust them enough to tell them the truth. "Mr. T? Are you alright?" I asked as I walked through the door.

[[Alright. He better come back, with Ella being pregnant and all. He can't leave his child behind, even if he doesn't know it yet!]]
I was in a rather good mood after my meeting with Pirelli and his brother. I only wish it would have been both their throats, but I would have to be satisfied with just one. "Hello, Rose." I greeted, the smile not able to leave my face.
-------------------------------
"Why would he have left? All the promises...he promised me so much!" I sobbed, resting my head on my arms. "Men like that are no good anyways. Might as well forget all bout him, love." Mrs. Lovett said. "No. He promised me he would marry me once we got some money! Now he's gone and left me with nothing! Not a penny to my name, even." I said, and sighed, wiping my eyes.

I smiled as he spoke to me and I poured us each a glass of gin. I took my seat on the arm of his chair and handed him his glass. "You seem oddly cheery. Is it because you've gotten rid of that pesky pirelli?" I asked him as I took a drink.
------------------------
"Well, don' you worrying darling. We'll take you in here. You and Toby here can stay in my parlor room, alright?" Mrs. Lovett tried to comfort her. She felt terrible, knowing it was their fault this girls love was gone. If Mr. Todd had a problem, he will just have to get over it.

I chuckled as I smirked, taking the gin from her. "I think the world is better without him, don't you think?" I said, taking a sip of the gin.
-----------------------------------------------
I smiled, looking up at Mrs. Lovett as she spoke. I wiped my eyes and nodded. "You're far too kind to someone like me, ma'am, thank you. I am sure Toby appreciates it; I'll make sure he says so when he wakes up." I said.

I smiled at him, happy to see him in a normal mood. Even if it was for a demented sort of reason. "I suppose so. I always thought he was a horrid man..." I agreed.
-------------
"Oh, its no problem at all deary." She glanced at Toby. "And the boy's such a sweet heart. I love having him around."

"Oh, of course he was, the worst kind!" I said, and finished off the gin before putting my glass down on the stool. "I haven't felt like this in years. Funny sort of thing that killing a man can give you, isn't it?" I said, glancing at Rose.
----------------------------------------
"He's a great kid, but Pirelli was so hard on him, never feeding him enough... well, I was barely fed, too, but... I love Toby like he was my brother. I never want to see anything happen to him." I said. "Would you mind if I put him in a bed? It's a shame to see him lying on the floor like that."

I smiled. "It's definetly an interesting feeling." I agreed again. I had once killed a man back in france. He was who helped me discover my secret ingredient. I rose to my feet to get the bottle and pour us each another glass. I sat down again and sighed, looking out the window.
---------------------
"There's a couch in the palor he can sleep on. One for you as well dear." I told her and helped her take him into the other room. "Well, you'll both have plenty of food here. If you can stand my meat pies that is." I told her as I covered Toby up with a throw blanket.

"Is everything alright?" I asked. Seeing as I was in a good mood, I would talk and be merry for once. I wasn't sure if it would ever happen again. I walked up and stood behind the chair she was sitting in.
------------------------------------------------
I smiled and laughed a bit. "Your meat pies are just fine for us. Believe me, we've had worse." I said with a smile.

I looked up at him and couldn't help but smile. He was never concerned about how I was. And now he is? It was really odd but amazing at the same time. "I'll be fine." I said and stood up, staring at him.
--------------------
"I'm glad you enjoy them. Mr. T doesn't eat a one of them. Well, he doesn't eat anything so I guess I shouldn't take it personally but even so." I rambled a bit as I scurried around the kitchen, cleaning the counters. "Will you be a dear and sweep up around the shop? The broom's in the closet there."

"You'll be fine? Is something wrong?" I asked. I didn't understand why I had cared, but I assumed it had to do with the killing fresh in my mind.
-----------------------------------
"Sure thing, ma'am." I said, happily going over to the closet to get the broom. It was a shabby little thing, one that must have been around for a while. I began sweeping the dust around, thinking of something to make small talk with, but nothing was coming to mind.

Yeah, something was wrong. But I was too embaressed to tell him that I wanted to continue where we left off. I wanted him to kiss me again and I didn't see that happening. "No. I'm ok. But thank you." I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to the window sill.
---------------------
"So how do you end up workin' for that man?" I asked her, curious about her past. I didn't want to bring up Pirelli after knowing what Mr. Todd had done but it was all I really knew about her.
