Jennifer Monroe had a normal life. As normal as could be; she went to school, ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and went to bed at 9:30. The only abnormal thing in her life was her mad scientist father David Monroe. He liked to experiment with animals and humans, kind of like Dr. Cockroach. He had many failed attempts. He pondered and ignored his family for months, until he found what he thought was the answer. He ran out the door and headed to a pet shop. He emerged through the door holding a black cat. When Jennifer saw she said,

"Aw, it's a kitty! What's its name?"

"Jennifer."

"That's my name!" Jennifer said shocked.

"I know, that's because you're about to receive the balance and agility of this cat!" Jennifer's eyes widened.

"WHAT?" Her father grabbed her wrist and threw her into a machine. There was a painful shock to her body when everything went dark. When she awoke she pushed the door of the machine open. She stood to see a piece of shattered mirror. When she saw herself there were two black cat ears on her head and one black stripe on each of her cheeks. She felt her teeth had sharpened. '. Gosh!' Her pretty brown hair was now highlighted in different spots. Her bangs, the back of her head, and the ends of her hair were black and the rest was brown. She realized that there was a warm liquid on her hands. She looked to see there were three small claws extended from her hand. Blood surrounded them. The claws had shredded through the skin of her knuckles. She heard her dad mumbling wired numbers to himself.

"Don't worry dear it'll work next time."

"There won't be a next time!" she ran out the door scared to death of what happened to her. She ran faster than ever before. When she passed a tree she had a weird urge to climb it. She ran up the trunk without a problem and sat on the branch with perfect balance. She carefully retracted her claws, drawing more blood. She started thinking out loud. "How do I support myself? How do I ever get to see my friends?" then it came to her, "Well I am desperate…I suppose a box of cat treats- I mean crackers won't hurt." She climbed down the tree trunk. She went into the store down town. She grabbed a box of cracker and ran. Unfortunately the manager saw her and called the monster specialists having seen her ears. She extended her claws and clawed ay the ones trying to rope her. Then she felt something hit the back of her head, and everything went black.

When she awoke she was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a small black vest, black knee long shorts, black jazz-like shoes, black fingerless glove, but her hands were still bleeding. She was in a cell. She was trembling in fear. Then she saw an old man ride in on a parachute. "Good evening miss; I'm the general of this facility. You're in the holding cell for monsters-"

"WHAT! I CAN'T BE! I'M NOT A MONSTER!!"

"You are! And you have to face it, but since you're new and still young the law demands I put you with a few other monsters that have been through this. Get in the jet!" she tripped into the jet and waited to arrive at the destination.

When she arrived it was a huge building with a huge door. She was intimidated by the hugeness of the building. "By the way, the governments legally changed your name to, Gatoclaw." She widened her eyes, but kept her mouth shut. When they opened the door she saw a huge blob of blue gel and a fish man arguing over jello.

"Listen B.O.B. If you don't get rid of that molding blob, I'll throw it out myself!" yelled the fish man.

"I love her though! Did I ask you to get rid of Insecto?" yelled the blob.

"That's different Insecto's a living thing, that is a molding blob!"

"How dare you-"

"Gentlemen!" said the general, "please deal with this later, I have a new monster that you need to look after, her name's Gatoclaw." The two stared at her.

"Dude, she's like 14."

"Well, that's not so old Jello is only two weeks." said B.O.B. shaking the moldy jello. Link rolled his eyes and came up to the girl,

"Hi there, my name's Link and that thing with the jello is B.O.B." The girl coward, but nodded at him. Then Dr. Cockroach PhD walked in backwards as if trying to direct something.

"Okay Susan," then a huge lady came in, "Stop!! There drop it!" Susan carefully dropped another one of the Dr.'s inventions. Dr. C notice the new girl and introduced himself politely. "Hello my dear, I am Dr. Cockroach PhD, but you can call me doctor, everyone does." Gatoclaw almost screamed at the sight of this half bug half human thing, but she realized he was kind of like her. Susan knelt down and said,

"Hello, I'm Susan or Ginormica." She said. Gatoclaw was scared, but she didn't react loudly. She finally worked up the courage to speak,

"Hi…I'm Jeni- I mean Gatoclaw!" she was about to reach out for a handshake, but remembered her hands. She drew them back behind her. Dr. C noticed and asked,

"My dear what are you trying to hide from us?" he walked behind her and saw her gloves were bloodstained. "O my miss you're injured!" he reached for her hands to take a closer look, but she tugged them away.

"No really I'm fine!" she insisted.

"My dear, you have liar written all over your face." the Dr. said knowing what she was trying to do. He grabbed her hands too quickly for her to protest. He took off her gloves and saw the six cuts on her knuckles. "Goodness!!! What have you done?" she was almost in tears.

"I have claws, but whenever they extend my knuckles bleed." The doctor asked Link to grab the first aid kit. Link did as he was told. The doctor sanitized the cuts and wrapped white bandages around her hands. Gatoclaw put her bloodstained gloves back on. The doctor closed the kit.

"There you go my dear, B.O.B. can you put this back for me?" The blue blob looked up startled.

"O sorry I was just cleaning Gatoclaw's cuts."

"B.O.B. That was me."

"O yea." The general pulled out a jet pack and said,

"I leave her in your care." He flew out. Gatoclaw just stood silent.
