Authors note at the end of the chapter, important if you are reading and waiting for Stitches.
Disclaimer: PJ Masks doesn't belong to me. I only own my OCs.
The moon shone brightly over the roofs of the buildings. A chilly breeze was blowing and carrying some leaf with it. All that could be heard were only the sounds of the trees on the street and some snores here and there. Three figures, one big and two smalls, were jumping from building to building. Their shiny paws barely made a sound, no one saw them. Besides the moonlight, their sparkly bodies made the roofs shine more brightly, and their paws left a trail of little starry sparks.
"Where is he? How much are we gonna run?" The smaller one, a light orange Bandicoot, said, panting kinda hard. Suddenly they all stopped, as they spotted a starry blue figure standing on a higher roof, looking at the moon. "I guess no more." The little Bandicoot felt teeth around his scruff, and his other companion, a little silver Chinchilla, was by his side, as their bigger companion carried them to where the other figure was. The bigger one, a shiny yellow Caracal, made a high jump, and in the matter of a second, they were standing behind the starry blue figure.
The shiny yellow Caracal put her companions down. She sat. "We are here. It's been time." The starry blue figure, with his tail curled up on his front paws, turned around to see them. He stands up and walks to them. He bowed his head to the Caracal, the Bandicoot, and the Chinchilla.
"It surely has been time. Why did you want to see me?" The starry cat said, worried, but without losing his elegant posture. He sat in front of them. "I'm far away from my child, and in this times, he really needs me. I made a risky decision coming here, Black Tuft." He stated to the Caracal.
Black Tuft rolled her eyes and twitched her tail annoyingly. With her chest puffed out, she said. "You are not the only one leaving his child behind, Lightning Fur. We left ours alone too. And that's why we are here." She finished, looking at Lightning Fur. Lightning Fur tilted his head with an ear down, curious and confused. The little Bandicoot and the little Chinchilla looked at Black Tufr too, they argued on coming without knowing the reason, but they agreed at the end.
"What do you mean?" Lightning Fur voiced all of their thoughts.
"Yeah, what do you mean Black Tuft?" The silver Chinchilla said. Lightning Fur looked at her surprised, didn't they know why the Caracal brought them here too? He approached the Chinchilla. "You don't know, Cotton Tail?" Cotton Tail shook her head. "?" Orange Stripe shook his head and for a second look at him, then at Black Tuft.
Black Tuft sighed. "I want your kid to train our kids to become PJ Masks." Cotton Tail, Orange Stripe, and Lightning Fur all gasped in shock. They all knew that being a PJ Masks took a lot of effort and power, also sacrifices. Lightning Fur thought that she couldn't be more serious. His kid became a hero because, at that time, they were in a hurry, also it was an accident. But he couldn't deny that it wasn't a good one. She couldn't just ask for a risk like this one as if it were nothing.
Lightning Fur twitched his tail angrily and snarled. "You know that it takes more than just a question, Black Tuft." The Caracal started pacing nervously, sometimes muttering things to herself, or looking somewhat angry and sad. Her pelt started to fluff, and she shook herself to take it away. She desperately looked at Lightning Fur. Standing nose to nose with him she said:
"I know, and I'll take anything that is needed for my child's safety, I know that you would do the same if it was you standing in my paws." The Cat looked away, still twitching his tail and with ears flattened. She was right, he would do anything for his kid, even take great risks. He already lost six lives saving others kids of his, a long time ago, when the Animal Totems were barely a thing around. He sat, frustrated. Why did she want his kid to train hers? Couldn't she do it herself? He didn't spend the time with his kid teaching everything he could for her to come and ask it as if it was nothing.
She knew very well that a kid that is gonna be a PJ Mask (or whatever they decide to call their team) should be trained by their animal totem to create a special bond with them. She not only was asking for his kid's help, but she was also doing the exact opposite of an Animal Totem and their kid. But at the same time, he couldn't stop thinking about his kid. Right now he was a terrible feeling mess, and he needed help. Maybe their kids were in a similar situation. An idea popped into his mind.
Lightning Fur stood up and faced Black Tuft. "Do you think they are gonna be able to do it? Because this is a great risk you are taking."
Black Tuft answered, nodding hard. "Of course I think so, they are energetic and they are always positive about things. Also, they lack family, so having someone older than them would make them see your kid as a big brother. And maybe the other way around too." That was it, Lightning Fur's idea might work. Maybe if his kid spent time with their kids, he would be less sad than he is right now and if he convinced Owlette and Gekko about it, maybe all of their problems would be resolved. Maybe these kids were the answer for all of their problems. And for the happiness of his kid.
He looked at Orange Stripe and Cotton Tail, they have been quiet for a long time "What about you two? You agree with this?"
Orange Stripe and Cotton Tail nodded. "If it is for my little girl, then I'm more willing to do it than the fiercest lion." Orange Stripe nodded in agreement.
He sighed and then nodded. "Very well, but you must introduce yourself to your kids first, meanwhile that, I'll be talking to my kid about it, and maybe bring other friends too. They may help." Both your kids and mine. Lightning Fur thought.
Black Tuft nodded solemnly. "Very well. Thanks, Lightning Fur, will pay you back for this one." All said, she dashed off with the Bandicoot and the Chinchilla clinging from her teeth as she carried them by their scruff.
Lightning Fur watched them go. He went for a fast run on the opposite side from where the other three went. This is gonna help him and the others. Lightning Fur though.
Yeah, this is gonna help Connor.
A/N: I know what you are thinking. "Why publish another story when you have one unfinished?" Well, the thing is, Stitches is gonna be on hiatus. I want to finish all my main story before moving onto side stories or AUs. Besides, the computer where I had the three following chapters broke, and they were all pretty long; so I'm not in the mood to re-write them, it takes a lot of time and I barely have time to do my own personal stuff. So I hope you understand that.
Thanks for reading this far and don't forget to comment! Critiques are always appreciated.
