Brother what art tho?
Okay 13 has humiliated and angered me many times. More than I could count as a matter of fact but this time he took the cake, the pie and a whole damn deli too. What does that mean? I have no clue. That is how mad I am. I am even rambling in my own mind!

I mean the nerve of him to go into the cafe and confront Victor and tell him that he knew Victor wanted to bang me? And what if the human had? It was none of 13's business anyway. And then to have Victor tell me about it in front of Jubilee and anyone else in cafe that was listening in? And then Victor just had to make sure I knew he had no feelings for me in that way? He almost seemed horrified by the idea!

I could have just crawled under a rock and died!

So I decided I was going to have it out with my brother once and FOR ALL! I went to his house and knocked on the door but he didn't answer. I knew the little sot was in there because I could 'feel' him inside, even if it was ever so faint so I kicked open the door and entered even though he didn't open the door or tell me to come in. Normally I would be respectful of his privacy but damn it, he wasn't respectful of mine!

"Come out you little shit!" I yelled as I entered the house. "I know you are here and I'm going to... I'm going to... Okay! So I don't know what I'm going to do to you but it'll be unpleasant!"

Nothing in the living room... Which surprisingly was actually very tastefully decorated. I didn't know 13 had any taste in him.

Nothing in the dining room either. Also very tastefully decorated. Maybe 13 had finally found himself a decent girlfriend and she had helped with the decorating? It certainly didn't look as if 13 had done it himself.

Finally, I kicked the door open to his bedroom. The last place I wanted to go but I checked everywhere else in the house and didn't find him. Probably was hiding in his closet, I reasoned.

There on the bed covered in wine colored satin sheets lay a stone image of my obnoxious brother in his imp form. A television in the room was playing over and over in a loop a particularly vulgar porno scene.

"Big joke brother!" I shouted at the ceiling of the room, certain that 13 was playing one of his gross jokes on me. Walking over to the closet I ignored the statue of 13 lying on the bed propped up as if it was watching the scenes on the TV and ripped open the closet doors. Nothing.
"Where are you hiding?" I shouted as I tried to ignore the moaning and groaning noises coming from the TV.

Finally I couldn't take the racket any longer and looked for the remote to the TV to shut it off. Not finding it on the bedside table in the room or on the floor, I finally looked at the stone figure on the bed and noticed it was in one of it's hands, I ignored where the other hand was located. The remote was clutched tightly as a matter of fact in the hand...With the clawed thumb of the hand pushing down on the repeat button.

"How did you make the stone hand clutch the remote and press the button like that 13?" I asked interested enough to forget my anger at 13 for a moment.

There was no answer from the room.

Suddenly I felt an icy feeling in the pit of my stomach and examined the stone image of the imp in the bed closer.

There was no mistaking the lustful leer on the face or the glazed look in the stone eyes.

"13?" I asked but the stone image couldn't answer me.

"BARDY!" I mentally screamed for Weirdbard as I realized the stone object wasn't an image of 13 but really was my brother somehow petrified into solid rock. Talk about getting stiff and not in a good way.

I had only been a new member of this community for less than two days and already I had received three calls for my medical services. The first was for a common cold, boring but predictable. The second had been for a sprained ankle someone got while roller skating and now this one. A call about someone being turned to stone.

I would have placed the call as a mere prank except for the honest sounding, nearly hysterical woman's voice on the phone. So I traveled via foot to the house in question, as everything in this community was faster to reach by foot than by vehicle. Another one of the strange quirks that made this place so perfect to live in.

Reaching the house I was met by a stunning looking blond barely wearing a frock. She told me the place was owned by her brother who was up in his bed in his stoned condition. We traveled up the staircase to the bedroom and only a few times did my eyes wander to the woman's fabulous ass as I followed her up.

Seeing the small stone figure in the bed I said.

"Is this some kind of joke sweet heart? Or just an attempt to get me into a bedroom?"

I couldn't believe it. First, my attempts to get in touch with Bardy failed. The link to him was just...gone.

Something that had very rarely happened and was terrifying enough but then I tried to contact Washu to see if she could help me with Imp 13's condition and I couldn't find her either.
Also kind of scary but with Washu she did tend to turn up missing a lot and it wasn't unusual for her to be missing for days on end as she worked on an experiment.

Maybe that was where Bard was? Washu on occasion did ask Weirdbard to be her guinea pig and if she was running experiments on him they would probably pick an empty dimension to do it so as not to be disturbed. That would explain why I also couldn't get in touch with Reiko and Mavra, Weirdbard's mates and as such wouldn't let Bard go anywhere without them.

So finally in desperation I had called the new doctor that was listed in Serenity Hills phone book.

And the first thing he did when he saw me was start to check me out. I hated that. Why do guys always do a visual inventory of a woman when they meet them for the first time?
Then when we get to Imp 13's bedroom the man accuses me of pulling a joke or trying to trick him into bed? As if.

"Look I know you maybe not familiar with Imps and their natural forms but..."

"Is that what that is suppose to be? Look sweetheart, I know the occult. I think I know what an imp should look like. And you say he is your brother? That proves this is some kind of joke to waste my time. If he was your brother that would make you an imp too and you look quite human to me."

Sighing I transformed as the 'doctor' ranted. It was only slightly gratifying to see him shut up and his mouth hang open as he witnessed my transformation.

"There. Do I look imp enough for you know?" I asked as I flapped my wings and landed on the bed next to Imp 13's body.

I paced back and forth while I waited for the doctor to stop staring at me and start to pay attention to my brother. He was the one in need of examining, not me!

Okay, I admit it. It took a lot to surprise me, I thought I had nearly seen it all but suddenly being faced with a demonic imp was a new one for me.

And a cute one at that. She had been a knockout as a woman but as an imp she was just downright...Cute.

The kind of cute like an exotic bird you just wanted to capture and place in a cage and set in your living room so you could occasionally look over and admire their plumage. Until you had to change the paper in their cage and then you wondered why you bothered to capture it in the first place.

Her and my 'patient' in their natural, or should that be unnatural forms were not much larger than a Barbie or Ken doll.

Susan, as I remembered she called herself when she had answered the door, was perfectly formed and had a shapely feminine form but the look was somewhat ruined as her legs ended in small cloven hooves instead of dainty feet.

Leathery looking wings that were visible when she hovered in midair after transforming and then flew to the bed, had folded flat against her back and seemed to seamlessly merge with her back when they were not in use.

Finally, having finished my brief once over of her, I turned to look at my patient. The male stone imp she called her brother or just a number, 13.

As the doctor started to poke and prod 13's cold stone body, I flew up away from the bed and transformed back into my human form. This doctor maybe as brilliant as he thought he was but he was giving me the creeps a bit.

I swear there was a point when I was in my imp form that he looked like was thinking, 'I could get a butterfly net and add her to my collection.'

Pulling out my cell phone from my handbag which transforms with me when I go from imp form and back, I dialed Miki's phone number and then was going to try Victor's afterwards. I needed some friends around me while I tried to find out what happened to 13 and deal with this strange doctor.

I even briefly thought about dialing Lois Lane's phone number. We hadn't talked in a while but I still considered a very good friend and I needed all of the friends I could get right now.

I fully admitted it. I was scared. If whatever had done this to 13 was just not seeking revenge against him for some dirty deal that had gone bad, and was hunting imps...

I was the only imp left in Serenity Hills.

Miki was looking over some photos for her research when she heard the Doctor Who theme song come from her phone. Unfortunately, it was muffled and she scowled when she realized her phone wasn't next to her. With an absent mumble she began to toss around some of the throw pillows on the couch. Nada. She got on her knees and checked under the couch and there it was.

She snatched it from it's evil hiding spot and answered it with a distracted tone without checking who it was. "Hello?"

"Oh god! I'm so glad you answered. When it rang and rang I was sure you weren't near your phone or something had happened to you or maybe your phone had been turned into an evil mini robot bent on world domination or... I'm rambling aren't I?"

I took a deep breath.

"Something has happened to my brother. I'm over at his place right now with a doctor Dangles or something like that."

"I'm fine." Miki replied and started to put her photos away. "I just misplaced my phone."

At Susan's words, Miki got back to her feet in a rush. Normally Miki might not care (since it was 13) but Susan's tone made her come to attention. "I'll be right over."

She hung up the phone without saying bye and grabbed her bag and left, but not before making sure she was packing heat too. She quickly rushed over to 13's house and let herself in. "Susan? You here?"

"I'm up here." I call down to Miki.

As she came up the stairs and entered 13's bedroom I pointed to the stone figure on the bed.

"I came to have a word with my brother for the way he humiliated me at the cafe and that is how I found him. He's completely stiff... Er, I mean turned to stone."

We both ignore the doctor who was tapping on 13's stone body with a little rubber mallet.

Miki stared at the stone form of 13. She tilted her head with frown. "Do you know how long he's been like this?"

At the doctor's tapping, Miki glanced over at him. What the hell was he doing? "I'm pretty sure hitting him with a rubber mallet isn't going to help any." What kind of doctor was that guy?

"I'll have you know Missy that I'm Rick Dagless, not only a world renowned medical practitioner but a damn fine Warlock too. I've been asked to examine my patient here and if you two ladies want to chat about lipstick I suggest you go down stairs to do it and let me continue my examination!"

I dismissed them from my mind and concentrated on the imp before me.

"Excuse you?" Her eyes narrowed. Lipstick??? She stalked over to him and snarled at him. She may have been petite, but she was not a helpless little girl. In fact, she was sorely tempted to shoot him on principle.

"I don't care who the fuck you are, bucko, but if you take that tone with me again, I'm going drop kick your sorry fucking ass into the nearest bonfire." Oh yes, she was a little bit annoyed. "Now start talking. What have you figured out so far?"

It was obvious by this time that I was dealing with a highly emotional woman...during her time of the month so I put on my best diplomatic look and tried to explain the vast areas of science, medicine and occult that I knew of.

"He's been changed into solid rock." I explained to her.

"We know that." Miki rolled her eyes. This guy was renowned? Where? In the short buses of the world? "Do you know what's caused it?"

She glanced back at Susan, "Did you call anyone else?" God she hoped so. If this was how this fruitcake worked, this community was screwed.

I look up from my cell phone I had tried again while Miki was talking to the doctor.

"I'm trying to get a hold of Washu but I can't find her anywhere. We imps don't get sick or injured often so it isn't like there is a general practitioner for my kind. And I've tried to call Bardy and can't find him anywhere either!

He should know instantly that something is wrong with 13 or at the very least that I'm upset but he is either in a closed dimension or for some reason is blocking all of his imps."

I stopped to take a deep breath. It would do no one any good if I freaked out again.

"There are many things that might cause such a reaction to be had. A gorgon perhaps, or a basilisk or perhaps something came on TV that caused him a great fright?"

I opened my small medical bag I brought with me and withdrew a very large drill.

"I will know more after I take some samples."

Miki was about to try and keep Susan calm when she spotted the doctor with a drill. She gasped and attempted to snatch the drill from him. "What the hell do you think you're doing??!"

Miki may not know, or care about, the fallen imp, but he was Susan's brother and she doubted the woman would want this freak to drill him.

"Look sweetheart. I'm a doctor. I know what I'm doing. I need to take a sample and this is the easiest way. Unless you think I should just take a hammer and break off a piece of him?"

I reached into my bag and pulled out a small sledge hammer

"Holy shit!" Miki stepped in between Dagless and 13. This guy wa a psycho! "Will you knock that shit off!"

She risked a look at Susan, "Susan, you take a sample for him before Dr. Crazy MD here shatters your brother!" Where the hell did this nutbar learn medicine?

I walk over and look 13 over. Not that I ever wanted to see 13 in such a way before or ever again.

His imp form was lounging on the bed with his right hand holding out the remote, while his left was inside his bathrobe...

Finally I noticed the bathrobe was stone too showing that whatever had changed 13 had affected the clothing he was wearing as well.

Reaching out with my hand I pried back and forth on the edge of the stone robe and broke a small piece off.

"Will this do? I mean it was changed just like 13 so whatever you can find out from a piece of him, you should be able to find it out from the robe as well?"

I sighed.

"A core sample using the drill would be the best but I suppose if you want your brother whole, that will work."

I took the broken off bit of robe and bringing a magnifying glass out of my bag stared at it.

"Hmm. At first glance I would say this robe was instantly and totally calcified."

Miki eyed the stone piece in his hand and pulled her phone out. She snapped a picture of it and then took a few of 13 and then the room. "So, ok, we have a stoned or calcified imp, whatever calcified means. Was there any sign of a struggle in here? Has anything been moved? Is there anything in here that shouldn't be here?"

"Well this is the first time I've ever actually been in 13's bedroom." I said looking around.

"And frankly I'm shocked with how clean and neat it is."

Remembering what had been playing on the tv when I entered, I blushed.

"I think whatever it was that hit 13, it did it so suddenly he didn't even have time to blink. The TV was on when I came in and I had to turn it off by the controls on the set because 13 still has his remote in his hand." I pointed out.

"As for anything missing? That is really hard to say. Since we imps of Bard's can open portals anywhere we want, we tend to keep everything of importance to us in empty dimensions that only we know the 'combination' to. So, I imagine 13 did the same."

Looking around the room I spotted a knocked over photograph that must have been sitting on his beside table.

In the photo was a punk/gothic fairy that looked like Tinkerbell if she had fallen off the wagon and lived a few years of hard living. The fairy in the photo was the kind of trashy but cute kind of female that definitely would have appealed to 13.

So I was right. 13 did have a new girlfriend.

I showed the photo to Miki.

Miki walked over to see the photo and then snapped a picture of it. "Was the door unlocked when you got here?" She was asking a lot of questions. Possibly too many considering she was posing as a poetess in this community. She had to wonder if this was connected to her own mysteries. If not, then that would mean there was even more going on here than she had thought.

She cast a suspicious glance toward Dr. Dagless. And just what was his deal anyway? Maybe she should go make a trip to the cafe and locate reliable doctor. She turned her attention back to Susan. "Do you know that fairy?" A girlfriend was a good place to start.
