Chapter 1 : The Trouble with Trouble

Misery knew she is not a lesbian.
No. Thank you very much for that suggestion, but she HAS a husband. Trouble.
It was usual, that Trouble flirted with girls (who are in midst of a breakoff in their version of puppy love)
But then, after Trouble and his friend, Sorrow ravaged the girls, Misery would always then have her fun.
No. Seriously. Fun. Who said Misery was not fun?
Yes, she may sulk, she may throw her tantrum, but hey, is that not what Misery is all about? Tantrum was Misery's best friend. At least they were, a million years ago. But let us not go into the nitty details, about how they quarrelled. They are just friends now.
Now, Kyori had went missing. Its civilians (both male and female. Misery was not choosy in her sexual preference, as she liked to put it)were in Trouble and Misery is about to help her husband. Trouble had revved up his new high powered tractor and mowed into the City that Now Disappeared. And that was the fun part. The City that Now Disappeared, disappeared, from the first three dimensions, but not from the other dimensions.
It was exactly like the UnderCity City of LesBif. Technically, the UnderCity City does NOT exist. And yet it does. Too bad Apathy had won over Trouble. She (Apathy) had reached the UnderCity City before Trouble did. Now the people in the UnderCity City did not bother about any emotions. Even now, in the 5th, 6th and 7th dimensions.

And that was exactly the trouble with Trouble. Or, Trouble's problem, so to speak.
Trouble was often slow, in that tractor. Granted, the tractor can influence more people with the newly installed UberTrouble Engine, but the effect was that is was slower than a Snail. Usually, Apathy would ride in a high speed sportscar, souped up with Apathy Missiles and so on.
Well, one could say that Trouble was a traditionalist, and he prefered to do things slowly and properly.
Maybe that is the reason, people always said : Don't go looking for Trouble. It was perhaps Trouble did his job too well.
Well, better than Apathy, at any manner. Apathy's lack of concern over her responsibilities would lead to a revoluting slave one day, Trouble had always passed this snide comment, everytime he met her.
