Loonakids: Skate Queen

OK, I know I said in my profile that I would be doing "My Defenses" next, but I had so much inspiration for this one that I couldn't wait to post it, so I switched them. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

The young girl coyote was the last to wake up. She walked into the kitchen to meet up with the rest of her friends.

"Hey, Sarah," said her mom, Sophie Coyote, "How's your sister doing?"

"I was going to ask you that," Sarah said.

"Is she not in there?" asked her dad, Tech E. Coyote. Sarah shook her head. "Do any of you know where she is?"

The rest of the group all either shrugged or shook their heads.

"I think I have an idea where she is," Sophie said.

Kelly Coyote slid across the ice. She was practicing her skating. She didn't notice the group plodding through the snow behind her. She was too focused on finally landing her double axel. She dug her toe pick deep into the ice and spun around completely twice before landing perfectly.

"Wow," said the second oldest in the coyote group, a boy named Ryan.

Kelly gasped when she heard the voice and turned around to see her friends, siblings, and parents.

"I didn't know you were that good," Ryan finished.

"Actually," Kelly said, sliding over to her family, "that's the first time I've landed like that."

"Still," said Sarah, straightening her scarf over her snout, "that was cool compared to all the other stuff I've seen. And we've seen a lot of stuff."

"I, for one, have seen better," said Kelly, stepping off of the ice and almost tripping on her blades. Tech caught her. "Thanks, Dad."

"You know, being a psychic, you should have known to take off your blades first," Tech said.

"Right, sorry," Kelly said, sitting on the snow and unclipping her blades.

"You sure you don't want to compete in that skate contest next month?" asked Michael, the youngest in the coyote clan, helping his oldest sister stand up.

Kelly had had a hobby of skating at the pond in the Acmetropolis Park every December and January ever since she got her first pair of skates when she was 3 and a half. "Why do you think I get up so early to do this? I have stage fright."

"You sure you don't have a bad case of compete-a-phobia?" asked Nadine Bunny, the oldest of the 14-year-olds.

"I'm positive," said Kelly, "And I would advise you to stay away from the ice. That fire power of yours could melt the whole surface of the pond."

"True," said Lucy, Nadine youngest sibling, "this park could rely solely on you to melt the snow if the frost doesn't go away in February like usual."

"You know," Lexi Bunny, Nadine and Lucy's mother, pointed out, "before that comet hit all those years ago, the frost didn't melt until March, maybe later."

"Really?" asked Kelly, storing her blades in her backpack. Lexi nodded. "I guess we missed more than we thought since the planet was knocked off it's axis."

"You have no idea," said Ace Bunny, Lexi's husband.

At that moment, the middle child in the rabbit family, Benny Bunny heard his watch beep. He checked to make sure no one was around to see before he pressed a button on it and a holographic image of the kids' boss, Zadavia from Planet Freleng, appeared from it.

"Loonakids, I believe something may be happening at Acme Park," said Zadavia, "I need you to—"

"Uh, Zadavia?" Lucy said, "We're already here."

"Oh, always one step ahead, I see," said Zadavia, "Investigate what could be happening and stop it. Zadavia out."

The image disappeared and Benny pressed a different button. In a few short seconds, he was in a black and yellow uniform. The other 14-year-olds did the same. Nadine was in pink, Lucy in brown, Robert Runner in red, Jack Duck in orange, Kelly in silver, Ryan in green, Sarah in blue, and Michael in purple.

"We'll just wait here," said Daniella Runner, Robert's mother. She and her 2 sisters (Wendy Duck, Jack's mother, and Sophie) were triplet Witches and so were their children, but their kids hadn't received any magic yet.

The team that called themselves the "Loonakids" split up to examine the park. They turned over every brick and bench, but they didn't see anything suspicious…until something moved behind Sarah's back.

She turned to see…nothing. She noticed that the rest of the team was too far off to hear her, so she motioned for Lexi to cover her ears and sang in a very quiet tone. Nothing happened. Sarah was certain that her mind control power would coax out whatever was hiding behind that bush. She reluctantly stopped singing and pushed back some of the snow-covered branches. Before she could notice anything, a tentacle reached out and began pulling at her throat. She let out one second worth of a scream, injuring all their ears and not doing anything to her attacker. Sarah's scream did, however, catch the rest of the team's attention.

"I think we found the 'strange thing' Zadavia was talking about," Nadine said.

"You think?" Kelly cried out, running to her little sister's aid. The team pulled on Sarah's arms.

"Careful!" Sarah said with what vocal energy she had left, "Don't rip my arms out!"

They all let go.

"Did I tell you to do that?" Sarah asked.

"Grab her waist!" Michael suggested. The coyote's pulled her out by the waist while the others tried to wrestle the tentacle off of her neck.

Their parents came up.

"I take it you found the creature or whatever?" Wendy asked.

The kids nodded.

"Looks like you could use some help," Daniella said, "Let go on '3'." She held up her finger to suggest that she was going to zap the thing. "1…2…3!" The kids let go and Daniella's spell hit the tentacle, forcing the creature into retreat. Before it could leave, Jack turned to the creature and stunned it through use of his power.

Tech pulled it from the bush. "Whoa, that is one mutated cephalopod." Sarah and Michael cocked their heads. "It's a genetically altered octopus."

"Oh…" Sarah and Michael both said.

The under-sea invertebrate had been turned into an air-breathing mammal or something.

"OK, 2 questions," Kelly said, "Who did this and how?"

Tech shrugged. "No clue." He removed one of the scales. "But this may come in handy."

"Good," Kelly said, "We can analyze that when we get home."

"Speaking of which," said Wendy, "Let's go now. It's freezing here."

While the others were headed back to HQ, Kelly looked back at the frozen pond. Suddenly, everything faded from sight. She saw something completely different.

Kelly glided across the ice, moving in ways she had never been able to do before. She jumped and performed several different double axels. She even did a cartwheel and a bunch of other stuff. She ended her routine with a 45 mph lay-back-spin. She heard one final applause before the song ended and her vision faded…

After her vision was over, Kelly blinked rapidly a few times. Did she really just see herself skate so confidently in front of an audience?

"Kelly? Are you coming?"

Kelly turned around. Sarah was calling after her as she changed back out of her uniform. "Yeah, I'm coming." She changed out of her uniform and ran after them. What was the deal with that vision?
