Sorry these are taking so long to post. I swear i will have this done before Halloween this year,for gods sake...anywho here's chapter two! I should have chapter three up tonight too so yay i'm actually getting off my lazy ass and writing. Just saying,i'm trying to make OC as likeable as i can. I'm hoping that i'm keeping the Nicktoons in character while doing so. Also Spongebob is finally in one of my stories. YAY. Seriously though it was actually requested. Did i write him ok? You be the judge! :3

Jimmy was amused that it took so long for the three green portals to appear in his Lab. Even more so after Timmy,Spongebob and Morgan started arguing about something. He chose to ignore it since his guess Timmy started it over something stupid. However,he needed to get the devices from Morgan so he pulled out a small blow horn and set it off. Stopping the argument and scaring the wits out of Morgan.
"AUGH!" she screamed,as her necklace glowed red along with her eyes.
Jimmy flinched at her violent reaction and Spongebob shook slightly in fear. "Sorry about that,i just need the Re-Callers."
The harsh light shrouding her eyes faded as she sweat-dropped. "Duh,I'm an idiot. My bad,here." she apologized,handing them over.
"It's fine. Give me a few minutes and I'll have them fixed."
Morgan sighed and flopped down on a nearby couch and Danny joined her. Timmy and Manny just watched Jimmy,looking bored. Danny took this opportunity to change back to his human self,but flinched when Morgan was startled again. "Are you okay? Seriously."
Taking a deep breath,she looked at him sadly. "Alright,can i be honest? No,not really."
Danny let his gaze soften. "Are you really still so bothered by what happened?"
She rested her face in her hand and leaned over. "Of course! What i did was downright heinous. I turned poor Timmy over there into a puppet and god knows how that felt for him and then i nearly killed you all…"
"Morga-" Spongebob started,trying to help.
"Why!?" she yelled suddenly,slamming her fist down on the couch and gaining everyone else's attention. "How can any of you forgive me!? I don't...get it…" Now her face was covered by both hands as she sobbed quietly.
Jimmy said nothing and neither did Timmy but Manny couldn't help but sympathize a little. "I know where she's coming from. Whenever i screw up,i just let it go cause i know thinking about it only makes it worse,but i think all she can do is think about it."
"Morga-" Danny started,but he stopped when he saw her necklace glow again and her claws came out,slightly ripping the fabric. As he saw her start to raise them,his eyes shrunk and he quickly grabbed her arm,pulling her slightly closer.
"Morgan,stop! Listen to me! Alright? Why do you let this haunt you? We have forgiven you!"
Morgan clenched her teeth. "I let it haunt me because i don't want to make the same mistake again...and i'm sorry but,you may say you forgive me but all i hear is a lie."
A small clang echoed briefly as Jimmy had dropped his screwdriver upon hearing that. He then shifted his gaze to the bucktoothed kid sitting next to him and saw he had the same bewildered expression. Shaking his head to clear it,he got down from his chair and walked over to the girl. Timmy wondered what he was gonna do and so did the other three.
"Morgan,look at me."
Morgan obeyed and looked at the boy. Jimmy kept a calm expression,even though on the inside he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"Despite the knowledge that the crimes she committed were not of her own will,i still fear her. The evil power she unleashed on us...i can still feel the pain from the wounds despite them no longer being there and i doubt I'm the only one. Timmy has even told me that he still sees the gray...lifeless eyes of Sirena plastered over Morgan's when he looks at her,but-"
"It's over and done. Lamenting about the past will solve nothing and to be honest...i don't really like seeing anyone so upset."
Morgan wiped away a tear as the other four boys continued to listen.
"I doubt I'm the only one too. We're used to saving people all the time,but seeing another person suffering always causes heartache. We stopped you and it's over. Try to overcome them,alright? Take it from me,dwelling on mistakes is pointless,right Timmy?"
The younger boy's eyes widened as he was suddenly dragged into the conversation,but then he let his expression soften into a smile.
"Heh...yeah. Cosmo,Wanda and others think that i don't learn from my mistakes and that's why. I try not to let them haunt me. Stress i don't need."
"I'm pretty much the same way." Manny started,entering the conversion too. "I often make mistakes cause the line between good and evil tends to blur in my eyes,but while i of course steal among other things occasionally,I've learned there is indeed a line that i cannot cross.
Spongebob started hopping up and down. "Of course! To be honest,you shouldn't steal though."
Manny shrugged. "Where i live,it's a little hard to resist."
The yellow sponge rolled his eyes,but kept up his smile.
"Anyway…" he began,jumping onto the couch next to the Siren female. "No one's perfect! Especially with power like that! When someone gains power like that,they're bound to lose control sooner or later,but that's how you learn TO control it! Right,Danny?"
Danny chuckled nervously at that. "You could say that,although i never quite lost control like she did…"
"And it wasn't even her fault!" Timmy interrupted. "The syndicate made it happen!"
Jimmy nodded,still smiling. "All the more reason to stop lamenting about it,Morgan."
Sniffing,she wiped another tear away and smiled. "You all...are the best...you didn't just stop me...you saved me and to be honest you just did it again. Thank you for being so kind to me."
"Awww...does someone need a hug?" Spongebob asked,sweetly.
"I thought you'd never ask. Come here you adorable sponge." she told him,opening her arms.
"Aw shucks." he blushed.
During said hug,Morgan realized just how soft he was. "You feel like a giant pillow Spongebob." she laughed.
"Yeah i know! Makes me a great hugger doesn't it?" he boasted,looking into the girl's emerald eyes with shone with relief and happiness.
"Heck yeah it does." she answered,giving him one last squeeze before letting go.
Timmy,deciding to change the subject to something more interesting in his eyes spoke up. "So...what're we all doing for Halloween?"
Everyone's ears shot up at the question and they let Manny answer first. "I was gonna pull some classic pranks with Frida.
Danny answered next. "I was gonna help decorate the house and help scare Trick-Or-Treaters."
Spongebob was next to answer. "I was gonna dress up as a Mummy and go the Krusty Krab Halloween party."
Morgan then answered. "I'm not too sure. People say i'm too old to Trick-Or Treat. Even if i want to."
Spongebob suddenly gained a confused look. "How old are you?"
"Sixteen." she replied
"Oh."
"Anyway,what're you doing Neutron?" Timmy asked.
"Well,i was actually thinking of throwing a party myself,then we could all go Trick-or-Treating here in Retroville as a group. That way people can't look at Morgan or Danny weird since they'd be with younger kids."
"True. That's what i did last year so i could go. Took a few younger kids with me. That sounds like a great idea Jimmy." Morgan chuckled.
"Thanks,but if the others have plans-"
"Forget my dumb idea! I wanna go to your party!" Spongebob yelled,gleefully,causing everyone to laugh.
"I'm with the Sponge. I'm sure i can convince Frida to come,she kinda likes showing off her costumes." Manny agreed.
"Same here. It'd be more fun than hanging around my house." Danny agreed as well.
"Not like i had anything better to do. Count me in!" Timmy finished.
Jimmy laughed softly. He felt a bit touched by everyone jumping at the opportunity to come to his party. He didn't really expect it,so it was a pleasant surprise.
"Alright,so Halloween is next week. I might need some help setting up,but otherwise i should be ready about five ish."
Morgan raised her hand. "I'll help. When should i come?"
"Three or Four. That should be enough time."
Everyone nodded with a smile,looking forward to the event.
