Author's Notes: Songfic challenge, kinda. The object of the game is to have a character use a lyric of a song in conversation, or at least out loud. I would have posted the lyrics, but I think has a policy against that. I'm not going to risk it.



Perry frowned down at his bank statement. It was abysmal. He sighed and opened his checkbook only to find many of the pages ripped out.

He had just gotten a new book of checks three months ago.

He groaned and got up from the kitchen chair, storming towards the bedroom. "Jordan!" he called, nearly kicking open the door. Jordan paused from her mirror-gazing to look at his reflection.

"What?"

"Could you please tell me why we're almost broke?"

"I had to have surgery." she replied, waving her hand dismissively. "You expect me to stay wrinkly?"

"If it would stop eating a hole in my pocket, then yes, I expect you to stay the wrinkly old hag you've always been. Now, Jorderoo, you really don't need that many face-lifts and botox injections! You've always been a twisted-face demon who eats children and sucks souls! No amount of anything short of your demonic magic will ever change that!"

Jordan chuckled, eyeing her breasts. "Oh, Perry, you're such a sweet-talker. Do you think I should get bigger boobs? I don't know...gravity might pull them down..."

Perry sighed. There was the real culprit. "Gravity is working against me."

Jordan ignored him, pulling on her bra and deciding that she, indeed, should get some work done on the girls.
