Kitten Kaboodles

Prologue

The Daughters of Time were not at all happy. They were tired of watching over the Grand Time Keeper, and making sure it still functioned properly. Future was being a petulant child and stomping her feet in order to spitefully ruin her silk slippers.

"Stop it, Future!" shouted Past as she lounged on a settee. "Mother Nature would not approve."

From across the room, at a writing table, another girl spoke. "You know she doesn't care. She's the youngest of us, after all."

"Shut up, you two!" growled Future.

"Hush, yourself, brat. Maybe the Fates and Destiny can keep us company for the rest of today. Mother Nature usually agrees."

Future stilled her frantic movements and all three contemplated. Surely their Mother would not deny them to see family?

Thankfully, at that very moment, Mother Nature walked into the grand chamber, smiling at each of her daughters.

"Mother!" they greeted in unison.

"Good morning, girls."

"May our cousins visit, Mother?" Future blurted suddenly before Past or Present could ease into the conversation.

"The Fates and Destiny?" she paused as Present and Past nodded. "Of course," the older woman replied airily. "On two conditions..." Future gulped and shifted her eyes from her Mother as the older woman continued on. "No trouble, or mischief-making; two, do not convince Atropos to kill any beings, and especially do not meddle with Lachesis to ruin one's life. Ah, and another condition: do not lock Clotho in the cupboard again."

The three girls recognized a threat when they heard one.

"Yes, mother."

xox

"Destiny! Oh, what a pretty dress you have on! Did your Mother Heavens make it for you?" Present called out when all four of the Daughters' cousins arrived.

The little girl's cheeks flushed and she hid behind her long bangs. "Momma didn't make it for me. She got it from a human French merchant. It is made of the earthly materials called silk and gold. See," the girl pointed to several bright yellow clasps, "this is gold."

"Wow," Atropos whispered in awe.

"Okay girls! Let us do something fun now! Like the human game which Future told us about; 'truth or dare.' "

They all agreed and played a few rounds, causing disarray in the once-tidy common room. When it came to be young Destiny's turn, she chose 'dare.'

Future hissed happily. "I dare you... to mess up America's – no, no! – um, Japan's... history! You know, since we can just change it back to the original outcome, yes, girls?" She waited for all of them to agree.

"I don't know about this, cousin. Won't Auntie Nature be mad at us?"

Lachesis sneered, still upset about her last dare as well as truth, and the truth before that. "Grow a backbone Destiny. Auntie Nature's not here, and if she finds out, we can just put the blame on Future; she gave you the dare, after all." The others nodded in silent agreement.

"Fine."

This is a complete disaster! Past thought as she looked into the large ornate mirror in their home's royal room. The faces of the younger girls all expressed likened horror at the situation.

"What do we do?" Future wailed. "The girl just-! She's a-! Mother's going to kill us! Well... we can't be killed, technically," she paused to think, "but still!"

"Shut up, Future," Clotho snapped.

"Come on, girls, we have to clean up the common room or Mother will prohibit our fun for the next millenia," Past ordered, filing the girls out of the room. "Let's just pretend it didn't happen. I don't think anything too bad will result. Maybe the spell will wear off..."

"Maybe."

Author's Note: Call me crazy, but I'm starting a new story. This! -is not AU, thank God. And, if anyone thinks they should insult my knowledge of the English AND/OR any Asian language, you will incite my wrath, and I will hunt you down. Heh.

I do know that "Kaboodles" spelled wrong; it should be "caboodle(s)." But the fact that I love things that just... flow, kind of got in the way.

"The whole kit and caboodle!"

Ha-ha.

Please leave me a review; and be freakin' honest!
