*The 'Barry' I had referred to here is Harley's younger brother, Barry Quinzel. A dead-beat father of two, with failed dreams of becoming a rock star ... and, did I mention he still lives with Mommy?

Not much love for The Penguin here, but - I assure you - I love every member of the Bat Family's rouge's gallery. I just needed to fill her head with more doubts about the whole ... chubby chaser thing, to piece together believability. [And, there aren't many chubsters to work with WITHIN the cannon DC Universe] I don't know if I've mentioned - but, Harley's little "journey of self-discovery" is modeled after my own, so ... yeah - making this come across as a real struggle is sort of important to me.

The next chapter, unlike its counterparts, will be a DIRECT continuation of the scene in this chapter. No days, or months will have passed - just ... same scene, a few minutes later. If you couldn't tell I was in a REAL rush to get this one out, so - I apologize in advance for any MAJOR typographical error.
