Chapter Four:
There Will and Angelo were. After being turned into cats by one Dr. Larsaz and escaping from his basement lab, they end up being chased down an alley by a dog and then were saved by none other than Uriah Dunn. The school bully of all people!
"So, what do we do now?", Will asked as she and Angelo kept their eyes on Uriah.
"I have no idea.", Angelo said. "I mean, Uriah just saved us from a dog!"
Just then, Uriah bent down and petted Will and Angelo, surprising them both.
"I bet that was quite a scare with that dog, huh?", Uriah questioned.
"Is he petting us?", Angelo questioned.
"Yeah.", Will said. "I don't believe it! Uriah Dunn likes cats!"
As for Uriah, all he heard was meowing from Will and Angelo as they were talking.
"I wondr if you two are hungry?", he questioned as he picked them both up. "I think I'll take you home and feed you."
"I hate to say it, but I am a bit hungry.", Will said.
"Same here.", Angelo said. "I wonder what's he going to feed us."
"I could go for some tuna.", Will said as Uriah was carrying them to his home.
Meanwhile, I.T.C.H. Matt, and Caleb had gathered together in the park.
"I take it that none of us found them.", Cornelia said as the others shook their heads.
"Every cat, me and Irma found took off from us.", Matt said.
"Me and Hay Lin figured that Will and Angelo had fur that was the color of their hair.", Taranee said. "So, we went looking for cats with red fur hoping that if we found Will, we'd find Angelo."
"But, we didn't find them.", Hay Lin said.
"Same here.", Cornelia said as her cell phone rang. "Hello? Hey, mom. Yes, mom. I'm on my way.", she said before hanging up her phone. "Sorry, guys. I have to head home. My parents wants me there on time for dinner."
"Yours too, huh?", Irma questioned. "Same with my folks."
"Same here.", Taranee said.
"Me, too.", Hay Lin said.
"I can keep looking, for Will and Angelo.", Caleb said.
"Same here.", Matt said. "I don't have to be home for another hour."
"Good luck.", Irma said as she gave Matt a kiss.
"Thanks.", Matt said with a smile.
"Be careful.", Cornelia said as she gave Caleb a kiss.
"I will.", he said as the girls walked off.
Matt and Caleb then returned to searching for Will and Angelo. Speaking of which, Angelo and Will were eating canned tuna fish at Uriah's home. They were more than surprised to see that there were more cats there as well. It turns out that the guy takes in strays and feeds them and gives them a place to sleep in spare shed his parents have in the back of their yard.
"Who of thought that Uriah was a cat loveer?", Will questioned as she and Angelo finished eating their tuna and drinking some water.
"Never saw it coming.", Angelo said as he and Will walked around the yard. "You know what? I say that when this is all over and we're human again, we don't tell the others about this."
"Yeah.", Will agreed. "Don't need the others picking on him for being nice to cats."
"Now the question is, how do we get to uptown from here?", Angelo questioned.
"Just follow the wall.", a gray cat said getting their attention.
"Follow the wall?", Will questioned.
"Yeah.", the gray cat said as he led them to the wall that was in the Dunn's backyard. "Just jump up there and head that away.", he said as he pointed them in the right direction. "I walk it all the time when I feel like visiting uptown."
"Thanks.", Will said as she and Angelo climbed a tree to get to the wall.
"No problem.", the cat said. "And if you run into any strays, send them here!"
"We will!", Angelo said as he and Will walked along the wall, to uptown Heatherfield, where Cornelia lived.
Elsewhere, Hay Lin was eating dinner with her family. Earlier, she had went over the Angelo's home and told his Uncle John about what happened to Angelo and Will as well as gave him Angelo's ring and the antidote for him to keep safe for them. Needless to say John was shocked about what happened. Hay Lin told him that she'd call him the moment they find Angelo and Will. Once she got home, she told her grnadmother, Yan Lin, about what happened. Yan Lin had told her to have faith. For faith can be a powerful thing. Right now, she's about to eat a peice of cake when she heard the sound of thunder.
"Looks like a storm is coming.", Joan said who finished her meal when it suddenly began to rain!
"And with rain, comes customers.", Chen said as he finished his meal. "Looks like a possible long night.", he said as he and Joan got up and took their plates into the Kitchen.
As she looked out the window, Hay Lin was worried about Will and Angelo.
"What now, grandma?", Hay Lin questioned.
"Do not worry, Hay Lin.", Yan Lin said. "Even though they're cats, Will and Angelo know how to take care of themselves."
"I hope you're right, grandma.", Hay Lin said hoping for her friends safety.
'Please let them be okay Lord.', Hay Lin prayed before taking her plates to the Kitchen.
As for the others, they were getting worried about Will and Angelo as the storm was going on.
At the Cook's home...
"You okay, there, Sis?", Peter asked Taranee as they were watching TV.
"Yeah.", Taranee said with a small smile. "I'm okay.", she said before looking out the window.
'Becareful out there, you two.', she thought to herself hoping Will and Angelo would be okay. 'Please watch over them, Lord.', she prayed hopimg for the best.
At the Lair's home...
"Of all the times for it to rain, it happens now?", Irma questioned as she looked out her bedroom window. "You couldn't wait until we found Will and Angelo?", she questioned as she looked up at the sky earning a flash of lightning followed by a loud thing of thunder! "Ahh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! 'The Man Upstairs' knows best!", she said. "Just please let them be okay. Please.", she prayed as she sat in a chair and continued looking out of the window.
At the Hale's home...
"Are you serious, Pinky?", Napoleon questioned as he sat on the foot of Cornelia's bed as she told him what happened to Angelo and Will. "They're cats?"
"Yeah.", Cornelia said. "And don't call me Pinky! That happened three years ago!"
"Sorry, Doll.", Napoleon said with a grin. "But that pink streak of hair, you had that Halloween, is something that you don't forget!"
"And you were the cause!", Cornelia said as her bedroom door opened to reveal Lillian walking in.
"There you are, Napoleon!", Lillian said as she picked up her cat. "It's time for our favorite show! You can hang with Cornelia later."
Cornelia watched as her sister left her room with Napoleon. A smile grew on her face at how her little sister has grown over the few years.
'Maybe I'll tell her about herself, when she's fourteen.', she thoguht as she looked out the windowm whiched caused her to frown thinking about Will and Angelo being out in the storm. 'Please be okay, you guys.', she thought as she looked over at the Heart of Kandrakar, she had sitting on her nightstand. 'Please, Lord, let them be okay.', she prayed as a lone tear ran down her face.
At the Olsen home...
"I hope they're okay.", Matt said as he sat in his bedroom petting his dormouse. "I don't know what I'd do if I were that small and had to survive the mean streets. Think they're okay, buddy?", he asked his dormouse who looked up at him and tilted his head a little. "I hope so, too.", he said with a grin. "Let them be okay, Lord.", he prayed. "Please let them be okay."
At the Vanders' home...
"I should still be out there looking for them!", Caleb said. "I know how to track in the rain."
"Maybe so.", John said. "But you'll be no good to us if you end up getting sick, Caleb. Besides. You've been looking for Angelo and Will all afternoon, like the others have been You need your rest."
"You're right.", Caleb said giving in.
"Don't worry.", John said. "Angelo and Will are okay. I just know they are. Those two are smart kids. They're somewhere safe. I'm just glad that Susan left Will to stay with us while she went with Dean to Vegas for that Summer teacher confrence he's attending."
"How long until she comes back?", Caleb asked.
"We have three days to find Angelo and Will or Susan and I will be getting litter boxes for those kids.", John said. "So, while you all are searching the streets for them, I'll be searching the city's animal shelters for Angelo and Will. But for now, I suggest that we both get some rest."
With a nod and a yawn, Caleb headed up to the fourth floor of the apartment building, where his apartment was.
'Be safe, my friends.', Caleb prayed as he headed upstairs.
'Watch out for them, Lord.', John prayed as he sat down to watch some TV before heading to bed.
At Dr. Laesaz's home...
"Where is it?", Dr. Laesaz questioned himself as he searched his cabinet. "Where is my antidote? I know I left it in here! Unless! Those two kids I turned into cats! Maybe they came back and found it! But how would they know which bottle held the antidote? Better yet, how could they hold it and get out of here without me seeing them?"
Dr. Laesaz then went to his computer and picked up a small device that had a screen on it. He then turned it on to see a small map ot the city and a dot blinking at a location.
"There you are.", Dr. Larsaz said with a smirk. "It's a good thing a put a tracking beacon on the inside of the bottle's lid."
Dr. Larsaz headed upstairs and placed the tracking device on the Kitchen table.
"Tomottow, I shall retreive my antidote and test subjects!", Dr. Laesaz said with a sneaky smile. "And I just may keep them as cats!", he said with a laugh as he headed for his bedroom to get some sleep.
As for Angelo and Will, they ended up finding shelter in a box, next to a dumpster, down an alley.
"Well, this is just great!", Will said as she shook some water off of her.
"Hey!", Angelo yelled as he moved away from Will as she shook her water off.
"Sorry.", Will said with a grin.
"Two can play that game!", Angelo said with a grin before shaking his water off.
"Hey!", Will said with a grin while backing away. "Not funny!", she laughed getting a laugh out of Angelo.
The two cats then laid next to each other as they watched the rain fall.
"This is not the evening I had planned.", Angelo said.
"Maybe not.", Will said as she moved closer to Angelo. "But at least we're together.", she said as she nuzzled up to him.
"You know what?", Angelo asked. "If I'm to be stuck like this, I'm glad it's with you.", he said as he nuzzled with Will.
"Me, too.", Will said as they gave each other comfort as the storm continued around them. "So, what will we do if we find the others but can't change back? I know my mom will freak out about allof this!"
"Well, at least we'll be together throughout it all.", Angelo said with a smile.
"That is a plus.", Will said. "Can you imagine us using a litter box?", she said with a small laugh.
"How about visits to the vet?", Angelo questioned with a laugh getting a laugh out of Will. "I can even see Hay Lin when we find her and the others.", he said with a grin. "She'll be like "They're so cuuuuuute!" while picking us up and hugging us!"
"That would be funny!", Will said grinning.
"Can you see us having kittens?", Angelo asked getting a silent stare from Will. "What? I'm just asking."
"Yeah! Picture me carrying three or four kittens!", Will said. "I'll be all fat and slow! And then there's when I go into labor! That's a lot a pushing, I'll be doing!"
"So, you don't want to have any kids?", Angelo questioned.
"I didn't say that.", Will said with a small smile. "It would be interesting if we did have kittens and all."
"And I'd be with you the whole time.", Angelo said as the two cats nuzzled against each other. "You, me, and our kittens! We can live in my apartment! That is, if we can't be changed back."
"Right.", Will said. "If we can't be changed back. Cause, I do not want to be coughing up hairballs anytime soon!"
"You and me both!", Angelo said with a grin before he began to yawn followed by Will letting out a yawn of her own.
Not saying a word, the two of them cuddled up next to each other and slowly fell asleep.
"I love you, Angelo.", Will said.
"I love you too, Will.", Angelo said. "My little alley cat.", he said getting a giggle out of his girlfriend.
The two cats then fell asleep, knowing that they'd be there for each other.
A/N: Well, that was interesting! First, Will and Angelo find out that Uriah is a cat lover and because of that, they find a way to uptown. But now Dr. Larsaz knows that his antidote had been taken and plans on getting it back! Can Angelo and Will get to the others in time before Dr. Larsaz does? Or will they spend the rest of their days as cats?
Please review.
