Chapter Seven: New Members
Lance was escorted to the police car as the fifteen young adults watched and waved good-bye.
"I'll be back!" The wolf yelled from the police car as it drove away.
"Whatever!" Luna yelled back.
"I can't believe this!" Sandy said loudly.
"I know!" Candy agreed.
"I can't understand why we liked him." Mandy announced.
"He was good looking, smart, and basically unavailable." Mimi answered.
"Oh, yeah." The sisters said in unison.
"Are those three okay?" Duck asked Rev.
"I'm-afraid-so." The male roadrunner answered.
"Oh, brother." Duck said.
"You can say that again." Kelly agreed.
Then, a limousine came in front of the young adults.
"Hi, Daddy!" The Jewel sisters greeted as the last window on the side revealed an older man with graying blonde hair and a blue business suit.
"Hi, girls!" The father responded kindly.
"Hi, Mr. Jewel." Luna greeted.
"Hello, Luna." The man said, "I'm terribly sorry about what happened."
"Hey!" The she-wolf said, "I don't liked to be pitied, and I don't like people apologizing for another's actions."
"Don't worry." The father of Sandy, Candy, and Mandy said, "Lance will trouble you no more."
"I won't get my hopes up that high." Luna stated, "He'll come back. It'll take him longer this time since his dad's decided not to give him any slack, but he'll come back."
"And he'll very likely have another plan to get Luna." Mimi added.
Mr. Jewel tried to propose the idea of a security system, but Luna refused by saying, "It's something that I don't really need."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
"Daddy." Sandy started.
"Luna's allowed that choose." Candy stated.
"Besides, if she can't stop Lance by using her powers, she can stop him by using her head." Mandy finished.
After some thought, Mr. Jewel said, "Luna, I'm not going to force you to do anything that you don't want to do, but it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of protection. I'll let you think about it."
"Thank you, sir." The red wolf said.
"Bye, Luna!" The Jewel girls said.
"Call me if you need anything." Mr. Jewel said before the limousine drove away.
"Wait!" Duck yelled to Mr. Jewel.
"Give it up, Duck." Ace told the mallard, "The guy's busy."
"Yeah, right!" Duck yelled at his leader.
Rev intervened by talking in his fast pace.
"But-Duck,-Mr.-Jewel-is-too-busy-for-you,-because-he's-working-on-a-new-research-faulcity,-and,-of-course,-he's-part-owner-of-the-Hotel-Mall-and-many-other-things."
"Rev, calm down!" Mimi said to her cousin.
The male roadrunner fell silent.
"Thanks, Mi." Kelly said.
"Yeah." Rebecca agreed, rubbing her temples.
Lexi stepped forward and said, "This is one busy weekend."
"Yeah, and it's not over yet." A new voice came from nowhere.
"Who said that?" The German Shepherd demanded.
Her friends agreed with and demanded the same answer.
"I did." The voice spoke again.
"Where?" Luna asked, looking for the owner of the voice.
"Try your cell phone, Luna."
The she-wolf obeyed and grabbed her phone out of her pocket.
"I don't know."
"Open it, Luna." Tech said, "I know who it is."
Luna obeyed and opened her cell phone. A hologram of a blonde woman in royal attire appeared from the receiver.
"Greetings Loonatics." The woman said.
"Hi, Zadavia." Tech responded.
"I know the name now, but who are you to the Loonatics?" The she-wolf asked.
"I'm known as the 'boss lady' to them." Zadavia answered.
"Sorry." Luna grinned out of embarrassment.
"Not a problem." The hologram spoke.
"So, why are you on Luna's phone?" Willie asked.
"I'm 'calling' you on a job well done to you six." The woman answered.
"Us?" Lizzie asked.
"That's right."
"Why?" The unexpected voice of Duck demanded.
"Because, I've watched them for some time." Zadavia answered with a grin.
"I was wondering what you did in your spare time." Lexi admitted.
Slam agreed by nodding his head.
"I knew that sooner or later that a danger greater than the ones you've faced before would come, and it would be too difficult to defeat." The woman explained.
"So, twenty-four hands are better than twelve?" Rebecca asked.
"True, if needed." The hologram answered.
"But, some of us have school." Lizzie protested.
"Lizzie has a point: Becky's still in high school and Lizzie's in college." Luna pointed out.
"Good point." Zadavia confirmed, "But I know the others don't see much of a future ahead."
"Shot down, and quick." Willie said.
"Shut up." Luna, Mimi, and Kelly said.
"What?" The raccoon asked, truly unknowing about how rude he was.
"Calm down." Ace said.
"I hope so." Luna confessed.
"So, you're asking us to be Loonatics?" Mimi asked Zadavia.
"If you want to." The hologram answered.
"Wow!" The female roadrunner exclaimed happily.
"That's so cool!" The German Shepherd said.
"I don't know." The Red Wolf said.
"What?!" Willie asked loudly.
"I know this could be a chance of a lifetime, but…" Luna admitted, "I don't think I'm ready."
"I don't need the answer immediately." Zadavia said, "I hope could do it soon."
That evening, Luna was in room by herself. Mimi, Kelly and Willie had gone home to pack. Lizzie and Rebecca had returned home and Luna did not know what to do.
"Luna?"
"Come in, Mom."
Luna's mother entered the room and saw that her daughter was sitting on the bed.
"Lulu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The young wolf answered.
"Care to talk about it?" The older wolf asked as she sat herself on the bed.
"I prefer not to."
The mother wolf for eighteen years grinned.
"It'll make ya feel better."
Luna glared.
"Okay."
The mother smiled sweetly as she asked her daughter, "What's wrong? And I want a real answer."
Luna sighed before answering her mother.
"I've been asked to be a member of the Loonatics."
"Really?" The mother asked excitedly, "Then, what's wrong?"
"I want to, but don't want to."
"Oh!" The mother realizing that her daughter was confused.
"I don't know what to do, Mom." Luna continued.
"I know." Luna's mother said.
"What do you mean?"
The mother answered, "You'll know." With that, she left the room.
The Red Wolf girl thought about it.
The next morning, Tech was up and about in his normal clothes when he saw Luna at the top of the stairs with a heavy suitcase.
"Need a hand?" The coyote asked.
The wolf was Surprised at the sound of his voice that she pulled a little too hard, causing her to fall down into Tech's arms with the suitcase rolling down the stairs.
"I'm guessing that's a 'yes.'" Tech chuckled.
"Sorry about that." Luna said as she removed herself from the coyote's arms.
"So, you've decided to come with us?" The coyote asked.
"Yeah." The wolf admitted, "I realized with a little help from my mom that I need to follow my heart."
"That's good." Tech grinned.
"What's good? Is it that I took my mother's advice or is it something else?" Luna queried the coyote as she stepped closer to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Tech asked nervously.
The she-wolf giggled as she said, "Never mind." And she walked to the kitchen.
The coyote scratched his head as he followed her into the kitchen.
After breakfast, the normal clothes wearing Loonatics were outside of the Red Wolf household, loading the new guys' luggage into the vehicle.
"This-is-so-cool!-I-can't-believe-it!-I-can't-believe-it!" Mimi said repeating.
"I can't believe it myself." Duck complained, "Mimi's talking like Rev."
"That only happens when she gets really excited." Kelly explained.
"But joining the Loonatics, she'll calm down by next week at least." Luna added as she carried her suitcase passed Duck.
"Oh, brother." The mallard exclaimed.
"I know." Kelly agreed.
Luna carried her suitcase to the vehicle, and Tech tried to help her.
"Tech, I'm fine." Luna protested.
"I'm just trying to help." The coyote reacted.
"A lover's spat already?" Lexi joked as she watched the two canines argue.
Slam laughed in agreement.
"I think that they have to be lovers before having a spat." Ace thought out loud.
Rev ran up the Tech and Luna.
"You-guys-dating-yet?"
The canines blushed at the question.
"We're not dating!" Luna announced.
"Rev, don't you have something to do?" Tech asked his friend.
Rev thought for a moment and said, "Nope."
"Rev, please leave." The Red Wolf commanded.
"And why?" The Runner asked with a cocky grin.
"Because I said so." Luna answered.
"If I refuse?"
"Want to be a popsicle?"
"Good point." Rev said and left.
"Were you?" Tech asked.
"Going to freeze him? No." Luna answered as she picked up her bag.
"Will you miss us?" Sandy's voice rang into Luna's ears.
The wolf turned and saw the Jewel sisters.
"Why are you…never mind." Luna said.
"We came to say good bye." Candy explained.
"We've always looked up to you." Mandy announced.
The wolf huffed as she told the girls what she thought.
"You guys can't follow someone like me for the rest of your lives." The Red Wolf said, "There's going to be a time when you three will start following your hearts."
By the time Luna finished, the sisters were crying.
"These girls are going into tears." The she-wolf exclaimed.
Sandy spoke through her tears.
"You're the coolest."
"Good luck!" Candy added.
"We'll miss you, even though you might not miss us." Mandy said.
Luna blushed as she admitted, "Well, I've thought that you three were a pain."
"Don't worry." The sisters said in unison.
"Okay, See ya." The wolf said, trying to get away.
"Group hug!" Candy announced.
"Oh no!" Luna whimpered.
The sisters grabbed the poor wolf and embraced her.
"Help!" Luna begged as she felt the air being squeezed out of her body.
Duck laughed out loud at the wolf's dismay.
"I've never seen anything so funny in my life!"
After the 'sisterly' embrace, Luna regained her breath, which by that time Kelly was also laughing at Luna.
"What's wrong? Got a hug limit?" The German Shepherd giggled.
Luna got her revenge on Kelly by touching Kelly's snout and freezing it. One could imagined how surprised Kelly was, but if there was one thing Kelly could not resist it was a challenge, because it took Kelly one Sonic Bark to get the ice off of her.
"Try harder next time, Lu." The German shepherd said smugly as she walked away.
"I always do." The Red Wolf responded, showing she never could resist a challenge as well.
"Luna, are you okay?" Tech asked, running up to her.
"I'm fine. Having the Jewel girls hug me like that is nothing new." The wolf answered, not understating the real meaning of the question.
"I'm glad to hear that but that isn't what I was asking." The coyote reassured.
"Oh! Kelly?" Luna asked.
Tech nodded. The wolf, seeing Tech's determination, started to explain.
"One, Kelly's my friend. Sure, we laugh at one's expense once in a while, but the one who is humiliated is allowed to get payback."
"Okay, that's somehow understandable." The coyote answered, before Luna continued.
"Two, since my friends and I had 'received' our powers, we've kinda used the payback gimmick as a part of the excuse to practice our powers on each other."
"And the other part?" Tech asked.
"Well…" was the only thing Luna managed to say when Duck came, yelling out, "This I gotta hear."
Luna grinned and let out a huge howl, which was accompanied by a small ice storm, which froze Duck.
"Just for the fun." Luna finished while most of the others laughed at the frozen mallard.
In the next minute, Duck had managed to escape the ice prison by 'quacking' and walked to the wolf who froze him.
"You're despicable."
Luna grinned as she said, "So what else is new?"
Growling, the furious mallard walked away, thinking about all the 'fun' he's going have as soon the team returned the tower.
"You sure steamed Duck." Ace spoke to Luna with his accent as he walked up to her.
"Well, if he thinks he's going to boss me about, I have a few things say to him." The wolf said, knowing Duck might want retribution for freezing him.
"Hey, Luna." Tech said, "Where's your suitcase?"
The wolf looked around until she saw Willie carrying it into the vehicle.
"Why is Willie taking my stuff?" Luna asked herself.
"Well…" Tech started.
"Tech!" Luna exclaimed.
"What? You wouldn't accept my help." Tech countered.
"And that's not very ladylike." Luna mother said as she left the inside of her home.
"Mom!"
"Don't fuss at your mother." Luna's father said, following his wife.
The Red Wolf girl groaned in misery.
"Calm down, it could be worse." Lexi said to Luna.
Kelly was shocked at Lexi's words.
"Never say that!"
The female bunny looked at Luna.
"Kelly's bad luck always come after someone says, 'It couldn't be worse.'" The Red Wolf explained.
"Luna!" Kelly exclaimed.
The dog ran towards her friend when she stepped into a hole.
"Well, that's better than how it normally happens." Luna commented to Lexi.
"Help." Kelly whimpered.
"Mimi, Willie, Kelly needs your help, again." The Red Wolf yelled out.
"I got this." Lizzie announced as she walked up to the group.
Luna turned around and, yelled out, "Liz!"
The vixen's eyes glowed white as she used her telekinetic power to lift the trapped German Shepherd from the hole. Once Kelly was out of the hole and on the ground, she marched up to Luna with a very angry look on her face.
"I told you so." The dog growled.
"Liz helped ya." The wolf said, trying to defend herself.
"But you knew that I get bad luck." Kelly yelled.
"Oh, brother." Luna said as she rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Hi, guys." Rebecca greeted as she arrived at the house.
"Hey, Becky." Kelly and Willie greeted back as Mimi ran up to the raccoon to give her a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you!" Mimi said, still holding Becky in the sisterly hug.
"Me too." Rebecca responded.
Slam yelled in gibberish, which Tech translated.
"Loading's done."
So, one-by-one, Mimi, Kelly, Willie, and Luna said their good-byes to their friends and family. By the time Luna had reached her parents, she was trying to resist crying. Luna's mother hugged her and whispered something in her ears. After that, Luna said, "Thanks."
After the good-byes were said and done, three of the four new members entered the vehicle.
"Where's Luna?" Mimi asked.
Then the sound of Luna's motorcycle roared from the back.
"Never mind." The female roadrunner said.
Luna drove the bike pass the vehicle and stop on the road. She removed the helmet and said, "Come on! The urban folk won't wait for us!"
The vehicle started up and drove backwards into the road then drove forwards, the opposite direction of where Luna stopped.
"This is going to be fun." Luna grinned as she drove off behind the other Loonatics.
As rode away from her childhood home, Luna thought about what her mother said to her: "I glad you chose to follow your heart."
"Now, I'm glad I followed my heart too." The Red Wolf said to herself.
With that in her mind, Luna revved her motorcycle loudly as she followed her heart to her future as one of the Loonatics.
The End
