Catty whistled cheerfully as she strolled down the street across from Maggie's old apartment. Pretty odd, considering Maggie had just disappeared and Catty would have no reason whatsoever to be there, but, that's how our story starts.

Suddenly, Catty was startled by groans and moans similar to someone experiencing an orgasm. Afraid that she might walk into a couple in mid- make out, but still curious (hey, she WAS Catty...), Catty turned the corner to see a balding man in only an undershirt covered in sweat stains and jeans that appeared to be a couple sizes too small attempting to lift a heavy box into a truck, blocks away. Catty also noticed middle aged-men in the same uniform throwing random objects out of a third floor window- Maggie's apartment.

Intrigued, Catty sat on the pavement and watched as boxes of various sizes, candles, incense, tea bags, silverware, and antique dining tables flew out of the window and occasionally hit unsuspecting victims crossing the street.

This is too good to pass up, Catty snickered, as her hand reached for her cell phone to text Vanessa.

---------------
twenty minutes later

Jimena's car, rap music blasting from its speakers, could be heard from a mile away by anyone except for Catty, who was still staring, mesmerized, as Maggie's apartment was being cleaned out by fat men who looked too ugly to be in anything but a poorly written FanFic.

Vanessa, Serena, and finally Jimena got out of the car with awed expressions, no one wanting to break the glorious moment.

"She's GONE!!!!" Serena finally yelled, for now she could mess around with everyone's brains without feeling guilty.

Vanessa frowned. "But... who will tell me right from wrong? Who'll tell me how pretty my hair is? Who'll treat me with the respect I deserve?!?!"

"Oh please, chica, she never did much of that shit anyways", Jimena snorted.

Catty, the only one who had nothing better to do, asked the dreaded question: "So.. uh.. who's gonna be our.. oh, um..the.."

"The Magna Mater?" Serena supplied.

Catty nodded, deciding it seemed smarter than standing stupidly with her mouth hanging open.

Jimena decided to take charge, since no one else was...

"I think we should raid- I mean, check it out, and ste- look at the furniture- and, ahem, her...will???" Said Jimena, correcting herself many times over.

Serena rolled her eyes. It was so obvious that Jimena just wanted to raid the place.

Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Please, everyone knows the only things in Maggie's apartment, are, like, her stupid drugged tea bags and she didn't even have electricity, damn it!!"

"Hey- Catty- didn't you break in, wayyyyy back in, like, book 4?" enquired Serena, finally acknowledging the brunette.

"Yup!" Catty answered cheerfully, glad someone had recognized her achievements.

Vanessa gasped. "Catty, I am shocked! absolutely shocked!As of your last report card, you should be at home studying, not raiding our mentor's apartment!!! Take me, for example..."

Serena and Jimena rolled their eyes and followed Catty as she climbed up the side of the fire escape and pushed the window over and up, as she did so many times before.

-----

Serena looked around and sighed. it was still the same old apartment, just a whole friggin lot emptier and the place was literally trashed. She was still trying to pull Jimena through the open window, who insisted that the lumpy, suspiciously gun-like shapes tucked in her waistband must make it through with her. Catty had decided to go look through Maggie's personal stuff. Hey, you never know when there might be a 60's comeback party.

However, she didn't even get to open Maggie's minuscule closet- she was startled by a fairly loud screech from the main room followed by loud fit of Spanish. Serena was sprawled across the floor, Jimena was draped over a turned-over mahogany dining table. When she tried to stand up, a loud shatter ensued, guns and daggers of various sizes rained down her pant legs and baggy sweatshirt. The window now somewhat resembled a large wall after the effects of a wreaking ball.

Serena sat up, dazed, a piece of notebook paper stuck comically to her wild dyed hair. There were stacks of post-its, each of them scrawled on, scattered on the floor around her. A particular picture of a certain Keeper of the Scroll caught Jimena's eye. She picked it up. There were multiple hearts surrounding his face.

"Oye, isn't this that payaso who died on us in Nefandus?" Jimena asked incredulously.

Catty snatched the old, time- stained photograph out of Jimena's hands. "That whore! THAT'S why all she could say to me was "Do what's happy for him, Catty, you'll make the right choice."" She mocked her old mentor, shaking her head. "I can't believe all this time she'd wanted to fuck my BOYFRIEND!!!!"

Serena was now trying to shake the paper off her head, looking much more undignified then her raccoon, Wally.

"Hey- what the hell??" Serena had now unstuck the piece from her head, and was staring at the words in horror. Her loud screeches had distracted Catty, who was still laughing at the fact that her fellow Daughter vaguely resembled Wally. They all crowded around to read the entry.

Note to self: Before disappearing, appoint the new Magna Mater according the vision last week. Jimena should know-

"HAAA!!!" Jimena jumped up and did a happy dance. She flashed various gang signs at the telephatic and time-travelling Daughters. "She picked me!!! she picked MEEEE!!!"

"Dammit Jimena, you could at least let us finish fucking reading this!!" Serena was now running out of patience.

A disgruntled Jimena sat back down.

Jimena should know that her premonitions were totally off, and that Selene had actually picked Cassandra for god knows what reason. (prepare self for Jimena's usual threats.) Also, make sure Catty doesn't know anything about Chris and Penelope, then visit Hector and demand to have sex with him.

Serena, who had now finished reading, looked at Catty, Jimena, and then ran to the remains of the window to check Vanessa's expression. Predictably, she was still talking to herself, now listing the many ways Michael had ruined their first date.

Jimena burst out in anger, an endless stream of profanities pouring out of her mouth. She brandished several daggers and slashed at the walls. "If that DAMN puta thinks we'll listen and let Cassandra be our mentor, she is seriously fucked", Jimena spat. Catty had fainted.

By the time the three had climbed down the fire escape again, it was already dark and the movers had packed up for the day. Vanessa was still blabbling to herself, now recounting the many times her hair was complimented by her mother.

"And, there was that time where I was wearing the adorably cute sundress, and Michael was picking me up..."

"VANESSA!!! CASSANDRA is our new mentor!!!" Catty had decided to just spit it out.

Vanessa turned. "Cassandra?!?! But... she's a Follower!!!"

Jimena rolled her eyes. "Well, duh, none of us can figure out porque, that's the problem. Like we need another freak in our group." She looked pointedly at Vanessa.

"And, plus, she hasn't even had centuries of experience. NONE of us saw this coming." Serena crossed her arms.

"Well, if I had the power, that COULD be changeable. Anyone lend me theirs?" Catty held out a hand.

Vanessa reached for it.

"NO!!!!!!!" Jimena and Serena tackled Vanessa to the ground, ripping her EXPENSIVE Prada dress and covering it with dirt, oil and grass stains. When Vanessa tried to get up, she broke a heel.

"HOLY CRAP, these shoes were ONE of a FREAKING kind!!!!!" Vanessa grabbed a heel and hugged it like a baby, rocking it back and forth. Then she turned to Catty. "Don't you know that rash actions without thinking beforehand ALWAYS results in atrocious disasters?!?!"

Catty blinked. "But..but...you...," she stammered.

Serena dusted herself off. "Well, whatever the reason, Selene better have a damn good one to make a bitchy, guy-raping, Follower, Stanton-chasing...", she broke off and blushed.

Catty taunted, "Out mentor li-kes Stanton, our mentor li-kes Stanton...who i-is yo-ur boyyy-friendd..."

"...I mean, seriously, I'm getting freaking tired of all this. No one tells us anything, maybe Selene just gave up and decided to cross us over; plus, I'd rather be with Stanton...anything but Cassandra...", Serena continued.

Jimena slapped her. "What kind of drogas are you on??"

"...From that man on Wilshire..."Serena answered in monotone.

Jimena gaped at her. "And you didn't tell me?!?! Do you know how dangerous that stuff is? Hand it over."

Serena groaned and fished a small plastic baggy out of her pockets.

"Is it just me or is this fic getting weirder and weirder??" Catty complained.

"Let's go to Planet Bang...this thinking is making my head hurt…",Vanessa complained, linking her arms with Serena's and Catty's.

And so the four Daughters headed off the Planet Bang, ignoring the fact that Vanessa looked like a hobo with a ripped dress, the fact that they probably should be confronting Cassandra, and that their parents would be seriously bitching when they got home...late again.

"So... do you think Cassandra would give me some fashion tips? I know I'm already perfect, of course, but it wouldn't hurt to have some of her unbelievably sexy black minis in my closet..."
