Okay, so I know I haven't updated on the Murtagh one, and I might not 'cause I don't remember where I was going with it...(I'M SORRY!) But I have a good reason to work on this one! So, I'm...Mandy...which is weird 'cause I changed all our names slightly. I'm used to Megan and mine's names being almost the same except for the very end, so...anywho, only Sarah doesn't know I'm writing this yet, Kat should read it shortly, and Megan and Alicia have been helping me write it, with Megan writing all her lines, etc. Please enjoy this classic fangirl syndrome story!

Five young girls sat on their knees at points of a star drawn out on the carpet with yarn. The one at the top point looked through her dirty blonde hair to shuffle fifteen black-backed cards before drawing one herself and passing the stack to the left. This one's wavy dark brown hair was pulled behind her ears. She too shuffled and drew, then passed it along. Next was another blonde whose hazel eyes shown out in the small light of five candles in the center. The process continued, past a dark-shinned girl with shorter hair and finally to another dirty-blonde girl, who finished and passed to remaining ten cards to the first.

After setting the stack out of the star behind them, she nodded and they all set the cards down face up. A small groan of disbelief came from one of the blonde ones. Mandy waved her hand and Megan quieted. She started with herself.

"Itachi," she smirked a bit, "Shikamaru," she nodded at Sarahantha, "Kiba," then Alicia, "Sasuke," she tried not to glare at Kat, "and Deidara," she finished with Megan. Sarahantha and Alicia's faces stayed blank, while Kat smirked and Megan tried to look a little disappointed.

"My Neji…" she muttered.

Mandy nodded her head again and each picked up a candle from the center. The unscented white candles burned silently for a few minutes before they, in unison, let a bit of the melted wax drip over the edge and onto the faces of their cards on the ground. Then they picked up the cards in their right hands, kissed the wax, and blew out the candles.

Soft wind rustled the trees overhead as Sarahantha gently opened her eyes. Immediately she sat up to look around, fear clawing its way through her stomach. She noticed Alicia and crawled over to shake her awake. "Hey! We've got a problem here!" she whispered frantically.

"Whuh…" she blinked confused that her glasses were still on. It took two full seconds for both of them to be up on their feet, looking around with wide eyes. "…Dream?"

"Doubt it." Sarah pinched Alicia.

"OW!"

"Nope, not a dream."

"Well darn…"

"So…we're in some forest?"

"Yeah…tall trees…" Alicia turned back to Sarah. "AH!" she screamed and pointed.

"WHAT?" Sarahantha followed the point with her eyes down to her stomach. She blinked. "HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? Ah, you too!" Both put their hands on their now completely flat stomachs.

"This can't be healthy…" Alicia muttered. Sarah pulled her white American flag shirt up to check for scars. Her skin was completely smooth.

"Duuuuude…"

"Wait, what is the last thing you remember?" Alicia put a hand on her upper arm.

"Uh…blowing out those candles." They stared at each other for a minute. It was like a timer ticking down.

"I'M GONNA KILL 'ER!"

"HOW THE HELL DID IT WORK?"

A pause.

"This is kinda awesome…" Sarah smiled.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEAL, HERE?" Kat screamed and struggled against the restraints that held her against a cold metal table in a dark, ominously green glowing lab. She looked to her right and saw a figure pass by the open doorway. "HEY YOU! YEAH YOU, YA FUCKTARD! LEMMIE OUT; WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA? DON'T YOU KNOW I'LL KILL YOU?" She continued to struggle helplessly. The figure paused and entered, all the while speaking gibberish to her. "What is that, Japanese? C'mon man, I NEED to pee so bad and I NEED to split your skull, so if you could just walk a little bit fast….er…." The figure came into the light. She twisted her wrist and pointed, "K-Kabuto?"

Kabuto cocked his head in surprise, then his expression darkened. He started speaking again, and all Kat could make out was 'Orochimaru-Saraha' this and 'Orochimaru-Saraha' that. "Typical. I get to have the most shittastic dream and it's you. Y'know, even if Mandy likes you a bit, I'm still gonna feast on your living guts. Now LET ME OFF OF THIS FUCKING TABLE!"

Kabuto realized a few moments earlier that the strange girl couldn't understand him. All the more interesting; he would have to think of a different way to get information. He strolled over beside her, looked down mockingly, and tied her right wrist to his.

"No, ya see, if you're gonna rape me, you're going about it all wrong. First you gotta give me the nice drugs that make me forget until morning, then you gotta get a camera and-" he tied a loose piece of clothe over her mouth. Her muffled indignations made him chuckle. However, he did (unknowingly of course) follow her advice and drugged her. The last thing she saw was his back as he threw her over his shoulder.

Megan groaned as she stretched and popped her back. "Dude, I thought I told you guys not to let me sleep on my stomach." She turned and looked for the others, but couldn't see anything in the solid black darkness. She got to her knees and crawled around, feeling blindly for someone. When she found a body, she shook it, earning more groans for the silence.

"Y'kno m'not mor'ing persah…" Mandy turned over and curled back into a ball. Megan ignored her and kept pushing. "I'm up, I'm up. What's wrong?"

"I dunno, I can't see anything."

"D'oh, I'll find the light…" she stood and walked cautiously forward, hands outstretched for the wall. When she reached it, she paused, then searched around frantically. "Dude…this isn't my wall…"

"What do you mean, we fell asleep in the TV room."

"Yeah, but this isn't paneling. And the ground isn't carpet…"

"Well…we could have slept walk…"

"I swear, there's no room like this in my house…"

"So…we were kidnapped?"

"Yeah…maybe…" Mandy grew steadily quieter, then sat against the wall.
