Loonakids: Unhappy Birthday
Alright, the season premiere! Yes, "Boo! You're Dead!" was the season finale. Just to be clear, there will only be 3 seasons of this series (the first one with 9 stories, the second one with 10, and the last one with 4) and this is the second. But there will be a spin-off of this series afterwards that will be almost entirely based off of "Buffy" and "Angel" so if you haven't seen those shows, don't watch them yet. It'll give away all the surprises. Anyway, enough of me. On with the story!
Chapter 1
A black duck in a black and orange jumpsuit was slammed onto the side of the building. He glared at his attacker, a giant dinosaur-like creature, and his eyes started to glow orange. "Alright, you've done it now!" A bunch of knives and other sharp, pointy things flew through the window of a nearby shop (Sharp, Pointy Things and Co.) and pierced the creature, which screamed but didn't bleed.
A black and pink bunny, whose eyes were glowing pink, came up and threw fireballs at the creature, but it was hardly affected. "What's up with this guy? What, we fight the children of gods and 2 days later we can't handle a giant dinosaur?"
The creature looked at a silver and black coyote girl. "Uh oh," she said. It knocked her in the stomach and slammed her into an alley. She got up and brushed herself off. She was about to rejoin the fight when she sensed a presence. "Do you enjoy sneaking up on people or is it just a habit of yours?"
A grey and white wolf came out of the shadows behind her. "Pretty much both."
The coyote girl turned to face him. "OK, look, I appreciate you killing Ilandre for us. But the whole disappearing for 2 days afterwards? If you're trying to make me like you or something-"
"That's not the problem, I just wanted to warn you-"
"Oh, again with the warning! Is this gonna be a regular thing? 'Hi, Kelly. Your family's in danger. See you next month.'"
The wolf glared at Kelly. "Listen, there's a dark force rising."
"Again? Can't we get a break for a few weeks?"
"I don't control that."
"Oh, really, Austin? 'Cause it sure seems like you're the dark and devious type. How do I know I can trust you?"
Austin crossed his arms at her. "Because I saved you from a storm hell."
"Technically, Kali and J did that."
"And then I killed the 'god' ruling it."
"And disappeared."
"KELLY!"
"ONE MINUTE!" Kelly cried back to her friends. She turned back to the wolf. "I gotta go. Rain check on the fatality notice? Thanks!" She went back into the battle.
Austin stared after her. "I don't think you'll have enough time for that."
"What took you so long?" a yellow and black bunny asked Kelly as she came back.
"Chatting with an old friend," Kelly answered.
A blue and black coyote girl came over to her. "Would this 'old friend' happen to be the wolf that warned you about the Ghosts?" Kelly nodded.
"Girls!" A green and black coyote came up to them. "Gossiping later, saving the world now!"
"Yeah, Ryan, like Nadine never got caught on the sidelines with Lucy."
Ryan glared at them. "Why'd I get stuck with sisters like you?" He went back to the fight. The 2 coyote girls looked at each other, giggled, and followed.
The duck continued to throw sharp things at the dinosaur creature. Nothing.
"Uh, Jack?" a red and black roadrunner said, "I don't think that's doing anything!"
"Well, Robert, why don't you pitch in?" asked Jack.
Robert rolled his eyes and they started to glow red. He glared at the creature and threw the elements at it. All it got was…well, the thing got wet.
"My turn!" said the blue and black coyote. She screamed, her eyes glowing blue, and it came out a deafening screech. The creature seemed to shrink.
"Keep it coming, Sarah!" said the yellow bunny.
"On it, Benny!" Sarah screamed some more.
A purple and black coyote boy (last one) transformed into a dinosaur as well, his eyes glowing purple, and started to wrestle it.
The pink bunny, Robert, and Jack continued their attacks. A brown and black bunny joined in (in case you haven't figured it out, the pink bunny's Nadine and the brown bunny's Lucy). Finally, the creature was reduced to a little…action figure? A little boy came up and took it.
"Huh?" Benny said.
"We'll have to ask Aunt Danni about…engorging animation spells," Kelly suggested.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Sarah went over to a mailbox. The others followed her. "While we're on the subject of spells, check out what I can do!" She held out her hands at the mailbox. It shook…but nothing else happened. "Huh. I could do it a few hours ago." Suddenly, the mailbox turned into a stork with a mailbag and flew off. "That'll work."
Ryan groaned. "I hope he can do his job right. Let's just go home. I'm a little tired." The 9 teenagers walked home.
They came to a tall blue tower and went inside.
A cream-furred bunny grabbed Lucy. "Surprise!"
A grey and white bunny came out from behind her. "We were going to do the same thing as always, but…" He looked at the little baby bunny in his arms.
Benny smiled and took his little brother, Buddy.
"So what are we doing?" Lucy asked, "Because I doubt anything's going to top the monster we just fought. On our birthday!"
"Yours," Sarah corrected, "the 3 of you alone. Robert has to wait another week and Jack a week after that and the 4 of us another week after that!"
"I get it!" She turned back to her mother. "So what're we doing?"
"Probably the same thing we do every year," said Nadine, "Cake, presents, and a whole lot of nothing."
A brown-haired girl came down the stairs. "While we're on the subject of presents, I need to warn Robert and Jack that I, as always, put the most thought into my gift, but this year, you're not getting them until Kelly, Ryan, Sarah, and Michael's birthday." Jack groaned.
"Get over it," Robert said, "I'm the one that would be waiting longer."
A female coyote walked over to Kelly and pulled her to the side. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but I wanted you to know that I think Tech and I put the most thought into our gift for you this year instead of Danni."
Kelly smiled. Then everything faded from her sight.
Kelly ran into Tech's lab, opened the closet, pushed some things aside, pried up a loose floorboard, and pulled out a small black box wrapped in a silver ribbon. She carefully removed the ribbon and took off the cover of the box to pull out-
"Kelly?"
Kelly snapped out of it. Every once in a while the group would be able to interrupt her visions.
"Did you just have a vision? Oh, you didn't see what we got you, did you?"
"What?" Kelly scoffed, "No! Of course not, Mom!" She fake laughed as she slowly back away. As soon as she was certain no one was paying attention to her, she raced up the stairs, ran into Tech's lab, opened the closet, pushed some things aside, pried up a loose floorboard, and pulled out a small black box wrapped in a silver ribbon. She carefully removed the ribbon and took off the cover to pull out a necklace. It had a golden chain and a whitish-blue butterfly charm. "Wow! Mom wasn't kidding about putting a lot of thought into the gift." She put on the necklace and smiled. While she was putting everything back the way she'd found it, she was too focused to notice the charm of the necklace turn orange-green. As soon as she was done, she closed the closet and stuffed the necklace under her shirt. But as she was leaving the lab…
"AHA!"
Kelly whirled around as she was closing the lab door to find Nadine, Benny, and Lucy standing behind her.
"You really did see what your parents got you!" Nadine snapped.
"No, I didn't!" Nadine glared at her. "I just saw where they hid it."
Nadine got closer… "So what'd they get you?"
Kelly pulled out the necklace and showed her best friend, knowing that the 3 could keep a secret.
"Wow," Nadine said. Neither girl noticed Nadine's eyes flash pink and then the color of the necklace.
"Let me see!" Lucy scooted her sister out of the way so that she could see it. Her eyes flashed brown and then the color of the necklace. "Wow."
"I just said that," Nadine said.
"Well, now I'm saying it."
"You can't copy what I say!"
"Is there a rule?"
"Would you 2 stop it?" Benny yelled. He did catch a glimpse of the necklace, though, while Kelly was hiding it again, and his eyes flashed yellow and then…well, you get the idea. "You 2 are hopeless." He stormed off.
"Excuse me?" Nadine ran after him. Lucy rolled her eyes and followed.
"What's up with them?" Kelly asked herself.
