Chapter 8
My Little... Chimera?
'You got to know that you tear me up when you say
You want to take it all away.
Take it all away...
You tear me up when you say
You want to take it all away.
Take it all away...
You were the one and it was enough
Was enough…
To be the one you were dreaming of.
Dreaming of…
You were the one and we called it love.
But now you take it all away.
Take it all away...'
Lime had a large set of headphones on while he was listening to Owl City's song 'Take it All Away'. "I got to admit. When we take over this planet, there are some people that I want to spare. Adam Young, you're number one on my 'spare' list." The alien boy muttered in pure bliss.
Lime was lounging in his room. He had just finished up eating some Eggo waffles and was now on his laptop, scrolling through the advanced Internet. He had 'borrowed' the laptop from a Best Buy store nearby. As for the Internet, he had it currently from a MacDonald's from the ground below.
He stopped looking up a series called 'My Little Pony' when he got a knock on the door. He quickly put down the screen. "Come in," he said quickly.
Hemlock opened the door. "Lime, I could hear you singing to you music from my room. Must you blast it so loud?" He asked as he stepped inside.
Lime frowned and put back up his computer screen. "Deal with it. Owl City is a true maestro when it comes to lyrics and music," Lime explained as he started looking up the episode he was on currently for watching the kid's show.
"Anyway, you and I going to be late for school if you don't hurry," Hemlock looked over to the laptop screen. "My...Little Pony?"
"Friendship is Magic. I was looking it up for Lemon," he looked up at Hemlock. "So, when she comes..."
"Lime, you think she's still the same?" Hemlock asked the neon haired alien. "I mean, it's been three or four years..."
"She'll be the same! You'll see! Lemon and I never change!" Lime yelled at Hemlock. He quickly looked back at the Google search he had used to look up the series. "S-She'll love it. I know she will."
Hemlock put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Let's go. You'll have more time later to watch the show."
"How do you know I watch it?" Lime eyed Hemlock.
"I can still hear you. I hear you saying 'aww!' and 'this is so hilarious!' You need to get it together. You're become like... our other member," Hemlock explained. "Get it together, Brony."
"Yes Hemlock," Lime got up and took his headphones out. He got off his bed and started to walk towards the door. "By the way, I see you peeking in while I'm watching."
"I do not!" Hemlock retorted and walked out of the door. "Let's go!"
Lime glanced over at a photo on his bedside table. It was him and a girl that looked just like him with only long, blonde hair to separate their looks. They were both posing for the picture. He smiled at the photo. "I miss you Lemon," he muttered. He then went to follow Hemlock after closing his bedroom door.

At school, Claudine kept receiving odd looks from her classmates. All of this was due to the eye patch she had to still wear. She kept trying to cover the side of her face with her textbook. This is so embarrassing, she thought during the entire day. She hated this so much.
To thank for all of this was Macy. Macy was still into her fights and actually hit her in the shoulder for the fifth time. Claudine walked one eyed through the hallways. Oh God, help me get through this, Claudine sighed.
Suddenly, she felt grabbed from behind. Someone had locked their arms around her neck. She yelped in surprise and turned to see Esperanza. "Aloha mi amigo!" Esperanza smiled at her. "How's my pirate friend doing?" She asked.
"Fine I guess. Um, why did you startle me like that?" Claudine asked her.
"Because I have something to tell you!" She grinned.
"Well, what is it?" Claudine asked.
"My parents said you can come over sometime for a sleepover! Isn't it great?" Esperanza told Claudine.
Claudine smiled. "That is great! I can't wait!" She giggled.
"Also, when are you going to get this off?" Esperanza pulled on Claudine's eye patch string and plucked it.
"Hey! That hurt!" She yelped. "I don't really know. Only time will tell," she forced a smile.
"Well, get well chica! Adios!" Esperanza waved goodbye and left for next class.
"Bye Esperanza!" Claudine waved. I just hope my eye gets better, she prayed.

Liam looked behind him for the fifth time in math class. The girl that was in the row next over was looking at him again. He smiled. The girl did this every day since the second day of this semester.
The girl had her silver blonde hair in a bob cut fashion. Today she wore a dark blue long sleeve shirt that was covered by a light blue vest. She also wore jeans and also had runners on.
Liam looked over to her desk and smirked. "Whatcha doing?" he whispered to her.
She glared at the dark haired boy. "Math. Like everyone else in the room," she stated.
"Then what's that?" He asked and tapped a sheet of paper she was looking at.
"Nothing!" The silver blonde said quickly. She turned away and blushed.
Liam looked at the paper to see it was a drawing of a girl and a dog. The drawing was good in his opinion and the looks on the drawing, such as the shading, were well done. "Did you draw this?" He asked with a smirk.
"No," she replied.
"Did someone draw it for you?" He rephrased this sentence. He leaned in closer to her desk.
"No to that either," she looked up again, blushing.
Liam thought aloud. "Okay, if you didn't draw the picture and no one gave it to you, that only leads up for the drawing to be stolen property," he deducted.
"I didn't steal it! It's my," she stopped herself.
"Your what? Boyfriend's? Friend's?"
"Locker partner's," the girl confessed and frowned. Her heart started to stop racing fast when Liam asked those questions.
"Well that's..."
"Liam and Macy, do you have something to say to the class?" The math teacher, Mr. Samson, asked the two. All eyes in the class turned to them. Some snickered while other whispered to their friends like they did before.
Macy froze. "Uh... W-We," she stammered and started to blush in embarrassment.
"Why, we we're talking about my lime green highlights and my charming good looks," Liam lied so well and boasted about himself.
"Well, Mr. Citrus, I suggest you go and sit in your seat," Mr. Samson suggested. Liam willingly sat back down, right after he winked at Macy.
Macy blushed and faced the nearby wall. This was just so embarrassing to have this happen to her.
Lime watched the teacher go over the lesson. Life can't get better than this. Scratch that, it could. By owning this world and have Lemon here with me, the teenage alien thought. He quickly looked over his shoulder for the sixth time to look at Macy.
Macy had smiled back before going back to her math work. Lime smiled at her response before looking at his work. He liked this planet and its inhabitance. Too bad that they all have to be eliminated. Well, Lime would stop that. He had his spare list and the spare list was 100% foil proof. And he knew it.

Macy had just left her math class. Oh my goodness. He talked to me. He literally spoke to me! I'm so happy I could, Macy saw Claudine at 'their' locker. She had hidden the girl's picture in her math book so the locker partner wouldn't see.
Macy walked up to the locker. The girls had decided to make it a key lock which only the two had the keys to. If one girl forgot their key, the other would be able to open the door. Macy thought the idea was okay but it was just that. "Hey Claudine. What's up?" Macy asked in a casual manner.
"Nothing," Claudine said quietly.
"Like the eye patch? I think you should decorate it," Macy suggested. "Maybe it should be a long line of silver thread. A calling card to show..."
"Oh be quiet," Claudine said coldly. "You're so mean, you know that? Can you just..."
Macy grabbed Claudine's arm and squeezed till the arm started to turn red. "Since when do you interrupt me?" Macy glared. She shoved the arm away, causing the girl to be forced back. "Just shut your mouth and be silent. I'm better than you, stronger than you and I am also inferior to you. Got that?" Macy growled at the ferret Mew. "Now put your books away and go home, Claudine."
Claudine felt her eye wanting to tear up. She quickly went to the locker and grabbed her coat and her backpack with her binders inside. Then she started to run out of the hallway.
"Bye Claudine," Macy smirked and waved goodbye to her locker partner. She then went to pack up her things and leave.

Just as Claudine left school, there was a crowd of either awe stricken people how were all starring at the same thing and also people laughing at the most strangest Chimera animal Claudine had seen in her life. The thing was is that it didn't look like a Chimera but...a giant, life sized My Little Pony?
The 'My Little Chimera' was pitch black with scarlet red hair and black highlighted streaks. It even had a Chimera jellyfish as a cutie mark on its flank. She didn't know if she should transform or watch the somewhat cute Chimera gallop around.
Then the scare factor showed up. The My Little Chimera went up on its back legs and came down quickly on its front legs. Fire erupted like a sonic boom on the ground. It scorched the ground and left black, dead grass in its mist. It left that and screaming bystanders that were now running for their lives.
Claudine looked for any sign of cover so she hide as well as transform into her Mew form. She spotted a bush and dove for it. That was her mistake. "Ow!" She screamed. It was a rose bush that she had dove into for cover. She pulled out her pendant from her pocket before trying to get her backpack off. She kissed the pendant and started to transform into Mew Clove.
"Mew Mew Clove! Metamorphosis!"
When Mew Clove came out of the bush with her 'ow!' and 'yikes!'; several people turned to look.
"Hey! Look, it's a Mew!" Someone pointed out.
"It one of those Mews from the other day!" A girl, probably from the gym class that had seen her on the field, pointed out.
"Look at that! She has an eye patch!"
Mew Clove touched her bruised eye. Sure enough, her eye patch was there. The strange thing was that it had a 3-D four leaf clover sewn onto the eye patch for decoration. "What the?" Mew Clove gasped. She couldn't believe that the eye patch was now a part of her transformation.
"Do you need an introduction? Go defeat the Chimera with us, Clover!"
Mew Clove blinked before seeing Mew Salt and Mew Rosemary try and fight the Chimera. She quickly ran over to help them. "I'm coming!" She told them as she ran.
Mew Rosemary had her whip out. "Ribbon Rosemary Rhapsody!" She battle cried and flung the whip's long end at the Chimera. The Chimera neighed loudly as the whip wrapped around its neck. It struggled to get free from the whip's hold.
Mew Clove went to finish the Chimera off. She summoned her axe and ran up to the Chimera. "Ribbon!" She yelled and jumped high in the air. "Clove..."
Please. Don't hurt me. Let me go free. Please.
Mew Clove blinked. "Clove Concerto!" She finished off and shut her eyes as she brought her axe down. She landed on her feet when she reached the ground and opened her eyes. The Chimera was gone, leaving nothing but the chaos it had once created. Mew Clove didn't know if she should smile in victory or feel guilty for what she did. The Chimera had had feelings. It spoke to her. It was a living, breathing creature, not a monster. Mew Clove stood there as Mew Rosemary hugged her from the side and Mew Salt patted her on the back.
Soon they were bombarded with bystander students from her high school. Mew Clove just looked down as the guilt crept in more and more as the seconds went by.
