“Great story!” I said; and then Verona said, “I’ve got a tale that y’all might like. Ya wanna hear about LN?”

  Cob and I nodded, and so Verona began to tell us the story:

  “A man named Prez forgot to comb his hair one day, and when his girlfriend Prezzy saw his untidy hair she said, “I don’t mind that you forgot to comb your hair, but aren’t you worried that LN might show up and use her living nails against you since she tends to get unhappy about things like that?”

  I don’t think she’d do that,” Prez said, “because I heard that she’s been going around and apologizing to all of the people who she’s assaulted! I think that now she’s going to focus on fighting against actual villainy instead of fighting against people who don’t comb their hair.”

  Prezzy pretended to be fine with his answer, but on the inside she was very angry about hearing this information!

  See, Prezzy had loved it when LN fought against people for things like not combing their hair or wearing their shirt inside out, and so she came up with an excuse to ditch Prez and went off to find LN so that she could scold her!

  She walked all around town and tried to find LN, and then she eventually saw that there was a person who was tasing another person for fun!

  Then she saw LN come running towards the man with the taser, and LN said, “Stop now, villain!”

  The villain stopped tasing the other man, and then he said, “Hello, LN, it’s a pity that you interfered in my official law enforcement duties.” and he pulled out a police badge and showed it to LN.

  “Having a badge doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to abuse that badge!” LN said angrily; and the officer scoffed and said, “But having living fingernails and toenails means that you are allowed to assault people with them? You don’t have any room to talk here, lady.”

  “I’ve been apologizing to all of the people who I’ve assaulted.” LN argued, “And so are you going to apologize to this man who you were tasing?”

  “Nope, I’m not gonna apologize,” the officer said, “but I will tase him again!” and the officer began laughing evilly and tasing the man again!

  “You’re a disgrace!” LN screamed as her living nails began getting ready for action!, “And people like you should be in prison!” and she charged at the villainous officer!, and the living nails made slashes all over him that spelled out the words ‘I’m a villain who shouldn’t be a police officer’ and caused him to drop the taser.

  “You’ll never get away with this, you freak!” the officer screamed at LN; and then he called for backup and told them that he had been trying to stop a woman from tasing an innocent man but then LN had assaulted him!

  His story confused Prezzy, and she asked him who the hell he was saying was the lady who had been tasing the innocent man, and the officer smirked and said, “You, of course!” and then Prezzy heard sirens approaching!

  “Hurry!” LN said to Prezzy, “We don’t wanna be around for this!” but Prezzy said, “What?!? You seriously think that they’re going to believe his bs story?” and LN groaned and said, “Police officers tend to protect other police officers, and so don’t expect them to listen to us…” but she also sighed and said, “I guess I’ll see this out with you. I’m totally going to tell you that I told you so though.”

  Then several officers arrived, and they arrested LN and Prezzy and got the man who had been tased to a hospital.

  Soon, LN and Prezzy were on trial in court, and they had refused all plea bargains and had instead insisted on having a jury decide if they were guilty.

  Unfortunately, the jury ended up trusting the corrupt and lying police officer over LN, Prezzy, and the man who had been tased, and so LN and Prezzy went off to prison!

  However, one of the guards at the prison really liked LN, and he discreetly broke LN and Prezzy out of prison the first day that they were there.

  “That was nice of him.” LN said to Prezzy as they walked away from the prison, “It’s good to know that some people who are in law enforcement have morals!” and Prezzy did a facepalm and said, “It’s pretty weird when the guard who’s breaking people out of prison is the one who has morals!, though he is indeed a guard who has morals. But aren’t we going to be caught and put back into prison anyway?”

  “Lol,” LN said, “I could have used my living nails to rip that prison to shreds at any time! The only reason that I allowed all of this to happen was because you insisted that we find out if the system would work properly.“

  “I guess I underestimated how corrupt law enforcement around here is,” Prezzy admitted, “though I still think that some places actually have law enforcement systems that are fair and just. We just happen to have one of the bad ones! BUT that wasn’t the reason why I wanted to find you in the first place.”

  “Hmmm…” LN said, “Why had you wanted to find me?” and Prezzy said, “My boyfriend Prez didn’t comb his hair, and I was hoping that you could use your living nails to teach him a lesson that he’d never forget!”

  “Weeeeeellllllll,” LN said while sweating nervously, “I know that I used to use the living nails against people for villainy like that, but now I’ve discovered the non-aggression principle!, and so I’m not allowed to initiate aggression against anybody.”

  “But didn’t Prez initiate aggression by not combing his hair?” Prezzy asked in a confused tone of voice; and LN said, “The non-aggression principle doesn’t allow someone to respond to non-violence with violence, and so even though it’s very villainous to not comb one’s hair the non-aggression principle says that villainy of that sort cannot be responded to with violence. One can never respond to non-violence with violence.”

  “What a bunch of nonsense…” Prezzy grumbled, “I sure wish that I had living nails since you clearly aren’t willing to do what needs to be done anymore!”

  “I know how you feel,” LN said, “but I really do think that I made a mistake when I used the living nails against people for things like not wearing deodorant and whatnot back in the day. I was wrong!, and I was being a villain!”

  “Now not wearing deodorant doesn’t even count as villainy that merits using the living nails!?!” Prezzy said furiously!, “That’s it! I’m done with you! You’ve clearly lost your way! I pity you because you’ve become the person who you are today, LN!” and Prezzy ran away from LN while crying tears of anger and frustration!

  “So sad…” LN said gloomily, “I really do regret that I used to have a perspective that was so similar to hers… Hopefully I can continue fighting enough actual villains that I’ll be able to make up for some of the harm that I’ve caused!” and LN rushed off to search for some villains to protect people from!

  Unfortunately, Prezzy was so enraged about LN having the non-aggression principle that she decided to begin doing what LN used to do!

  She obtained some weapons, and then she began running around and assaulting people for things like wearing socks that didn’t match and having bad breath.

  Eventually LN found out about what Prezzy was doing, and she managed to catch Prezzy as she was about to assault someone for not having his zipper pulled up!

  “Stop, Prezzy!” LN said!, “Or I’ll be forced to use the living nails to stop you!”

  “Now it isn’t even aggression for someone to not have their zipper pulled up!?!” Prezzy said in frustration, “You disgust me LN! You disgust me even more than me having to see this jackass’s underwear because his zipper isn’t pulled up!”

  Then the man pulled up his zipper and said, “Whoops! My bad. Very embarrassing… Thanks for saving me, LN!“

  Then Prezzy’s fury grew to the maximum, and she charged! at the man!, and he yelped and began running away!

  Prezzy was a faster runner though, and she had almost reached him when she felt LN’s living nails destroy all of her weapons so that she wouldn’t be able to use them against the man!

  “Noooooooooooo!!!!” Prezzy wailed, “You’ll pay for this, LN!” and then she charged! at LN and the two of them fought and fought and fought, and LN tried really hard not to hurt Prezzy because she wanted Prezzy to become a better person and abandon her villainous ways!

  Eventually, Prezzy grew frustrated that her fight against LN was going nowhere, and so she stopped fighting and said, “What now?”

  “What now is that your zipper isn’t pulled up!” LN said in frustration, “And so should violence be used against you because of that!?!”

  Then Prezzy looked down at her zipper, and saw that LN had been correct and that it wasn’t pulled up!

  “Nooooooooooo!!!!” Prezzy wailed, “I’m the worst criminal alive!“ and then she called the police and turned herself in because she hadn’t had her zipper pulled up.

  The police didn’t care about her zipper, but they did care that she had escaped from prison and so they drove over to where she was, handcuffed her, and then took her off to prison.

  LN, of course, had no intention at all of going to prison, and so she said a silent prayer for poor lost Prezzy and then she dashed! off to go find some villains to protect people from!…

  The End”
