I'M SO SORRY! FORGIVE ME! But I updated at least, and I promise to try and be really consistent from now on.

Anyways, I love this chapter! I don't know how I came up with it but I did so here it is. Anyways, apparently my friend's sister gave me the nickname Marmalade which makes no sense but she's weird in that way. I'm bored…my mom went for a BBQ and didn't take me! Unfair! *sigh* anyways, I do not own the PPGZ at all blah blah blah e.t.c. Ignore my random chatter -.-

Kitty Cat

"It totally sucks," Kaoru groaned as they walked to school. "That we can't fight bad guys for a while." Her friends nodded in agreement.

"I know right," Momoko sighed, she flipped her hair over her shoulders to look back at the boys who were walking a little way behind them, "but they can."

"Unfairness to the highest level," Ayumi agreed.

"I feel so…ordinary," Miyako sighed, twirling her hair. "Now we're just…ordinary." The girls paused and considered a life without being the PPGZ. They shuddered, that was too horrible to even contemplate.

"That's terrible," Kaoru shivered. The boys jogged slightly to catch up with them.

"What's terrible babe?" Hito asked, walking beside Kaoru. She glared at him and slapped him upside his head to tell him not to call her babe ever in his life.

"That we can't fight bad guys," Miyako said.

"It's only for two days," Saiko pointed out.

"We know," they sighed simultaneously. "But now you guys get to have all the fun and…!" They were cut off by the familiar beeping of their belts.

"The universe hates us," Momoko sighed. Her friends laughed as she answered the compact. "Yes Mayor?"

"Hurry girls!" The panicked face of their Mayor flashed on the screen, "there's a villain downtown turning everyone into animals!" There was a flash of purple sparkles and Miss Bellum appeared on the screen holding an adorable corgi with snow white fur.

"Aw!" The girls squealed.

"Girls, you have to stop her," Miss Bellum ended the call. Miyako, Ayumi and Momoko clasped their hands under their chins and sighed.

"The Mayor makes an adorable dog!" Miyako hugged herself.

"You are such girls," Kaoru said, rolling her eyes. The boys chuckled before transforming.

Smash Brick!

Hard Butch!

Rapid Brake!

Tough Boomer!

Rowdyruff Boys Z!

"Chill, we'll take care of this," Brick smirked. Momoko poked his chest playfully.

"You better, however if you get changed into something please be a cocker spaniel because I've always wanted a puppy!"

"Gee, thanks, I feel so needed," he grinned.

"So, for the first time, we're leaving the fate of Townsville in their hands," Ayumi shook her head. "We're all doomed."

"Hey!" Brake placed his hand over his chest in mock hurt. "That stung, really Princess."

"Stop calling me Prince-!" They watched the boys soar into the sky, following the multicolored rainbow of light until it disappeared.

"Well girls, that's where the action is," Miyako said.

"Mmhmm," her friends hummed their agreement and stood there silently for a few more seconds before trooping into school.

It was later, much later, two hours to be exact, when the girls began to feel truly worried when the boys hadn't returned. During break, they gathered under the large oak tree in the school ground. "Do you think they're in trouble?" Momoko asked, playing with her hair nervously.

"They should have been back hours ago," Kaoru agreed. Silence reigned for a while.

"Do you…do you think we should go look for them?" Miyako finally hedged.

"Yeah, we should," Momoko grinned, thankful that she wasn't the only one feeling that worried. Since they didn't have their powers or any other form of transport, they took the long way.

"Walking sucks," Ayumi groaned when they finally reached downtown.

"Everything sucks to you," Miyako giggled. "Wow, this place is…trashed." Trashed was an understatement. The place was more or less a dump. Glass lay in sharp shards outside the broken window frames of stores. Park benches lay in mangled, twisted heaps and ripped newspapers and nylon bags were scattered all over road.

"Whoa…" the girls breathed. The ground suddenly rumbled.

"Anyone else feel that?" Kaoru asked. The rumble grew and the ground began to shake.

"Is that a…" Miyako peered in the distance. "STAMPEDE!" The girls screamed and scrambled up a nearby tree just as a lion, a zebra, a rhino, a tiger and even an elephant barreled past them. They stared in total shock as the animals charged past in total chaos.

"Well, that was…weird," Ayumi said as they climbed down from the tree that had somehow miraculously withstood the stampede.

"I know," Momoko placed her hands on her hips and looked around. "So, where are the boys?"

"You don't think they've been turned into animals, do you?" Miyako asked fearfully.

"'Course not," Kaoru soothed her. "I hope."

The girls looked around warily. "Oh, new playmates!" A voice squealed from above them. The girls stared up in shock at what hovered above them.

It was a girl, or at least, mostly a girl. She had dark purple cat ears and amethyst eyes. A long, fluffy tail the same colour as her ears and hair swished behind her. "Who are you?" Kaoru demanded. The girl laughed dementedly and flew higher.

"My name is Animal Crackers!" She cackled maniacally.

"Yes, you are," Ayumi muttered under her breath in a sarcastic voice.

"What do you mean playmates?" Miyako asked warily. The girl laughed again, swooping closer.

"I'm going to change you into animals," she smiled brightly. "And then we can play together forever and ever!" She said in a possessed, sing song voice.

"That chick is crazy," Momoko whispered.

"I heard that!" She screeched, and then she shrugged. "But I don't care, once I change you we'll be best friends, just like Cody!"

"Cody?" Miyako asked, eyes widening.

"Yes, my puppy, he ran away," the girl's ears drooped then perked up again. "But now I have you and we can be friends!"

"No wonder the poor puppy ran away," Kaoru rolled her eyes.

"No, Kaoru, she's being affected by black z ray particles!" Momoko said, "It's not her fault she's like this!"

"Where are the boys?" Ayumi yelled. The girl tapped her chin with one pointy fingernail.

"Oh, those guys, they wouldn't be my friends so I sent my animal friends after them," she giggled. "Pity, they would have made cute puppies!"

"You sent a stampede of animals after them?" Miyako gaped.

"Yes," the girl sighed impatiently, "now, ready or not, here I come!" She raised her hands above her head, a sparkling purple ball materialized there. She shot it at them, just before it collided with the girls, they were shoved out of the way by four familiar bodies.

"Boys!" They grinned with relief.

"What are you doing here?" Brick snapped, helping Momoko up.

"Looking for you, duh," she replied.

"And you said you'd be fine," Ayumi rolled her eyes.

"It's dangerous here," Boomer insisted. "You should go."

"Nuh uh, we aren't going anywhere," Kaoru replied, folding her arms. Then a crazed cackle sounded and Animal Crackers bore down on them again.

"Hey, those are my playmates!" She screeched, "mine, mine, mine!" She shot a surprise bolt of dark energy that hit the girls.

"AH!" The girls screamed. When the dust cleared, the boys stared in shock and confusion at the four utterly adorable kittens sitting where the girls had previously been standing.

"Kittens!" The girl squealed. "They turned into kittens!"

It was quite easy to tell which kitten had been who. Their colour of fur corresponded with their hair colour. All four kittens were staring down at themselves in total confusion and shock. The kitten that had been Miyako had apparently surrendered to her cat instincts and was chasing a butterfly that had fluttered past. The kitten that had been Momoko was licking her paws and the two kittens that had been Kaoru and Ayumi were wrestling on the ground.

"Guys," Brick said slowly, "did she just turn our girls into kittens?"

"That's so rude," Boomer nodded.

"I say we pound her to bits," Brake suggested.

"I second that motion," Butch cracked his knuckles.

"Hey, maybe I should turn you into animals!" The girl was chattering now, "And then we can all be friends, what do you say?"

"We say," the boys smirked, "you're psycho."

Double Hurt!

Totalled Out!

Hard Punch!

K.O Slam!

"Argh!" The girl screamed. A stream of black particles poured out from her mouth and she fell to the ground. It was a little girl; she couldn't have been more than ten years old.

"That's sad," Brake whispered. The boys gathered around her. "Hey, wake up." She opened her amethyst coloured eyes slowly, fearfully. She focused on the boys and shrank back. "It's okay, we're here to help."

"Where am I?" She asked.

"Downtown, what's your name?" Butch asked.

"Shiori Shoda," she mumbled with her head down. Her hair was dark purple and flipped slightly at the ends.

"Where do you live?" Brick asked. She mumbled an address.

"We can fly you there, would you like that?" Boomer asked. Her eyes brightened and she allowed herself to be lifted into Boomer's arms.

"Kitties!" She beamed suddenly, pointing at the girls. The boys stared at them.

"Aren't the Z ray particles supposed to wear off immediately?" Brick asked. Brake nodded.

"Yeah," he scooped up Ayumi who immediately curled around his neck like a scarf. Butch picked up Kaoru who scrambled into the pocket of his jacket since she was small enough to fit. Brick picked up Momoko who settled down in the crook of his arm. Boomer allowed Shiori to hold Miyako since he was already carrying her.

Shiori lived in a large fancy house uptown. Her mother was overjoyed to have her back home. "You boys deserve a reward!" She beamed happily. The boys shared looks but then caught the eyes of the girls. Even in cat form they still knew how to put the boys in their place.

"No, it's alright," the boys replied. Anna sat on the couch of the parlour playing with the girls who were still in kitten form.

"But you must!" Shiori's mother smiled and stroked her daughter's hair. "Shiori, honey, Cody didn't run away, you left the back gate open and he wandered out, he's back now." As if to prove it, a cute golden Labrador bounded into the room and began to inspect the kittens on Shiori's lap.

"I feel so silly," she giggled. She smiled up at the boys. "Thank you!" She handed Boomer a bag of cookies. "For you guys!"

"That was nice," Butch commented as he munched on a cookie. They walked back the professor's lab. The girls lay curled up on their arms, dozing.

"I'm still worried, the z ray particles should have worn off by now," Brick frowned. Momoko gave a small yawn and looked up at Brick.

"It will, we'll just tell the professor," Boomer said. Then he felt Miyako shift in his arms. "What, whoa!" All the girl began to expand and transform until they had been turned back into their original forms. Of course they were sitting on the boys and so they materialized in the boy's arms.

"Yay, we're human again!" Miyako squealed, throwing her arms around Boomer.

"You have no idea how weird it is to be a cat," Momoko shuddered. "I kept having this urge to chase everything I saw."

"I'm just glad I can talk now," Ayumi rolled her eyes. "It's weird not being able to talk and only being able to say 'meow'."

"And now I don't have to be carried everywhere," Kaoru stretched and punched Butch's shoulder. "Thanks anyway."

"You guys did good," Momoko admitted. "It was kinda…sweet." The girls blushed.

"Thanks sweetheart," Brick grinned at her, nuzzling her cheek. She slapped him, not hard. Brick winced and grinned.

"Oh quit it Brick!" She blushed and looked down.

"You can put us down now," the girls said.

"Hmm, nope," the boys grinned at them. "Besides, the professor said he finished in double quick time and now you guys can go get your weapons." The guys flew them to the professor's lab.

"Yay!" Momoko grinned. "Me first!" She ran up to the professor. "Me first, me first, me first!" She bounced up and down with excitement. Brick grinned at her pleasure.

"What are you, five?" Ayumi rolled her eyes but she was excited as well.

"Okay, okay!" The professor grinned. Ken carefully handed Momoko her new and improved yoyo looking pleased with himself. "I made a few particle changes to the atomic makeup of the string and managed to make it more ductile to enable you to…" he took in the blank look on her face. "I made the string stronger and faster." He sighed.

"Yay!" She squealed, Ken had also painted a pair of candyfloss pink wings on the yoyo.

"Okay, me next," Kaoru stepped forward. "No science please, just English."

"I made your hammer able to shoot focused laser and cause stronger, more efficient sound waves," he handed her the green and yellow hammer. The bottom had two spikes that tick out like the handle of a mace or an axe.

"Sweet," Kaoru grinned, taking the hammer to show Ayumi.

"Me now!" Miyako giggled and skipped forward. Ken grinned and showed her the bubble wand.

"I simply made it possible for your bubbles to be able to create greater damage to your enemies, and you see this?" He pointed at a blue orb atop the bubble wand. "This allows you to charge your bubbles and make them explode on contact."

"Cool!" Miyako beamed and twirled her wand in her hand like a baton as she walked over to Momoko to show her.

"Alright, my turn," Ayumi grinned and stepped forward.

"Well, I simply made it possible for you to create super charged balls of light with your sparkler and to also be able to create an intense amount of light that can blind opponents temporarily." Ayumi grinned and walked back to Kaoru to show her.

"Yes, now we have our weapons back!" Momoko beamed. The girls swiped their rings through their compacts and transformed.

Hyper Blossom!

Rolling Bubbles!

Powered Buttercup!

Solar Blaze!
