Author's Note: This continues from "Cry of the Cat" but I was too lazy to remember their names, so I made that part up. RL Stine wrote them first, I'm just doing my take on what happens next. I don't own it, please don't sue me!


Hi. My name is Hannah Conner, age 12. Long story short I was an actress before a genetically-altered cat scratched me. Me and another actor my age on set, Jake Hilman. After blowing that stupid cat to smithereens, we still had cat-like abilities. And that's where this story takes place.


"Jake...we...we..."

"Are cats. Cool."

"Cool?" In case you didn't notice, we almost died tonight! Remember? Rip?"

"Yeah, but you never know. It could be the start of something new."

"Ok, we all know you were a nobody in High School Musical time to get over yourself. In fact...I'm DONE HERE!"

"Hannah wait!"

I ran out of the way and slammed the door shut. how could he be so...calm? I grew claws, he ate a mouse! That is not something for you to be calm about. The doctor from when when I jumped off that building said I had cat blood. Now the same thing is happening to Jake. I dragged him into this. Well, at least I can be cool now, I'm just gonna meet with Jenna, one of my ordinary friends, and see if she can take my mind off things.


I made my way through the mall, that place was packed. I was bumping into people coming and going with practically every step I took. "Jenna! What's going on here?"

"The mall is giving away free tickets to Rocks & Ice, you know, that new hit band that wrote "My Heart, My Soul, My Gymsocks", all we gotta do is be the costumer who's number is secretly set in those sensors! Isn't that awesome?" Always did hate that band. None of their lyrics made any sense, but I guess since she likes it so much, more power to her. "Oh, and I got a little something to help with the whole Boyfriend situation.

"Jenna, I don't have a 'Boyfriend Situation!' I choose to be single!"

"No girl chooses to be single unless she's a nun or about to come out of the closet, and you ain't neither, are you?"

"Well, no, but,"

"BUT NOTHING! Girl you need some serious guy time!"

"You do realize we are only twelve right?"

"Which is why I didn't go with the leather."

"Huh?"

I opened the box, which by the way said "In Case Of Dating Emergency" on the front, which by the way I think she stole from that Halley Berry movie, what was it...Catwoman. Not the best reminder of my condition. Inside was...tights. A skin-tight shirt that hooked shut in the front and tight bottoms with matching shoes and gloves. At the bottom was a skirt that was looser but still very tight in my opinion. What was she trying to do? Give my dad a heart attack?

"Well? Say thank you!"

"Thanks for the outfit that will be taking up room in my closet, Jenna."

"C'mon, you gotta love it."

"Jenna, if you want it, you have it."

"Please, if I get more boyfriends someone's gonna get jealous."

"I CHOOSE TO BE SINGLE!"

"Whatever..."

We ended up spending most of the day by the food court because we kept arguing over what stores to visit. Don't get me wrong, we are friends till the end, but we have very different tastes. All our fun ended when we decided to slurp down some smoothies, and what should our eyes to appear, but a very stupid boy in an even stupider outfit!

"...as many people saw this boy vigilante, dressed in what appears to be a black sweatsuit and Halloween mask, many gave open opinions on the boy's motives - "

"The guy's got guts. Hears to ya kid!"

"He means well, but he should quit while he's still alive."

"Dude reads waaaay too many comic books."

We continued listening to the report.

"Dude was able to move place to place like a tiger or somthin', I just ain't waitin 'round fo him ta turn."

" - many eye witnesses claim he had what appeared to be a cat-like ability, as described by claws and enhanced abilities. Some even say he had the eyes of a cat. Some say demonic" *click*

"Hey! Turn that back on!"

"Jenna, I just remembered, I need to go home and help my folks."

"Don't forget your outfit!"

Hmph. "Don't forget your outfit!" I was trying to leave it and you know it Jenna! Seriously, now I have to hide that from my parents, I know it. But right now, I need to knock some sense into that actor! What was he thinking? And its broad daylight! Ugh! I don't care what time of day it is, I'm gonna beat the life outta him!


"JAAAAAAAAAKE!"

"Hannah? Wow, didn't expect you to be hear so soon," shouted a voice from his house. "I'll be down in a minute!" I was hearing shuffling noises going toward the window to the right of me. I went to investigate, and what do you know, a guy in a black sweat suit.

"I never thought I'd see an actor turned Catman!"

"You...know?"

"Duh! What do you think I'm here about? You could get killed! Just because we can do these things doesn't mean you have any idea how to use them!"

"Like you do! I bet you haven't even found out what happens when adrenaline hits us!" Its true. I haven't I was too busy pretending everything is normal when clearly it's not. I guess to him I looked pretty stupid right about now.

"You have to listen to me Hannah! I wasn't just beating up muggers on the street corner! These men, they work at the Orlandine agency, they're gonna - "

BLAM!

"JAKE!"

I held him in my arms, all I did was yell at him, you know. It's funny. I wait until now to see how cute he really is...was. Blood was pouring out of his shirt, shot right through the chest. I looked up and I saw a man dressed in all black running from the scene. "SOMEBODY HELP HIM!" I yelled, but there was no one. Tears must have gone 80mph down my cheeks. I made the claws grow from my fingers, reminding myself, I could have been with him. I could have prevented this.

I rested his head on a patch of grass, and went to my bike that I rode here, and in the basket lay the box from Jenna. The all-black tights. I couldn't help but smile when I saw then inscription once more, "In Case of Dating Emergency." Well, I don't know about dating, but this was definitely an emergency.
