YAY! Jinxed is officially continued! Thank you piplup40 for inspiring me! :3
And thank you all once again for the reviews! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. :)
Jessie9095: Well, Jonathan isn't as fat as Herbert, meaning he cant just jump and land on Snah and squish him. xD
Mewcat60: You'll get one, once I find a good way to include it. :)
DriftedDaisy: Wish granted. :) And I loved that conversation, it was hilarious. XD
Piplup40: Apparently I didn't know. xD Awesome idea though! Thank you very much! You saved the story! :)
CCRainbowUnicorn: Surprisingly, one of the characters is indeed going to have a chicken puffle named Jonathan (Even though the Jonathan in real life is annoying as ever. xD)
Missygirl156: Yay! We EPF are too cool for Herbert to win. xD
Okay, recap time! Last time, Herbert lost...AGAIN. xD He was defeated by Jonathan the Chicken, who immediately died after saving the world. Sad story :(... But was immediately brought back to life when a bunch of chicken puffles popped out! :D enjoy!
Club Penguin had been at peace for several weeks now. The island was eventually restored back to normal, although it took a lot of work. The citizens were enjoying their new found pet puffles. Herbert was once again in jail and Klutzy was in custody.
"So how's the EPF coming along?" Joanne asked Lake Blue, Jessie, and Mewcat as they sipped their coffee in the coffee shop.
"Good. Construction is undergoing." Lake Blue nodded.
"ONCE AGAIN." Mewcat added, "This is like the fourth time Herbert destroyed the HQ."
"Cool. My career as a fortune teller is starting to fade out. So I might consider joining the EPF, although no promises." She shrugged, sipping her latte.
"You're a fortune teller? Cool!" Jessie exclaimed.
"Yeah... Oh by the way, what do you plan to do if Herbert escapes?" Joanne asked.
"I'm pretty sure he will. But we'll always be there to stop him." Lake Blue smiled.
"Well, we could just ship him off to another island. Since he is becoming too dangerous to stay." Mewcat reminded.
"I don't know. That's Sector C's decision. We can't interfere, even though we are Sector A." Lake Blue reminded her.
"Unless he runs away." Jessie added. "Then it's automatically our job." She made a face.
"Oh wells." Lake Blue shrugged, "Hey, don't we have that poster to do for school?"
Mewcat shot up. "Ohhh fish sticks!" She blurted out.
"Watch your language!" Lake Blue scolded.
Mewcat glared at her. "We have that Social Studies poster to do and you're complaining about my language?!"
"Calm down. It's not due until next month." Jessie shrugged.
"Yeah, next month's in like less than two weeks! And there's no excuse this time since we're not on a mission!" She reasoned. It was true. Their professor is a retired agent, so he understands when the girls don't have their work, since they are usually busy with new missions. He doesn't even expect them to come every Saturday, which is totally okay since they know all the information already.
"But it's so much work." Jessie groaned. "I vote procrastination."
"Me too." Lake Blue nodded in agreement. "Lets go and play handball!" She beamed at Jessie, who fished out a pink handball from her pockets.
"Fine then, I'm going to find Greenbat and bug him into helping me with the poster." Mewcat huffed.
"I guess I'll just chill?" Joanne smiled a little as she waved bye to everyone.
The handball courts were surprisingly empty. Most of the boys from their school would usually occupy the large court, leaving them with the small court.
"Hey Moonhunter! Glad you could make it!" Lake Blue called to brown penguin, who nodded in response.
"We got the big court this time!" Jessie cheered, throwing the handball at the concrete wall. Lake Blue immediately sprinted towards the handball, batting it with her flippers as it bounced back. Moonhunter then went and hit it, followed by Jessie, the Lake Blue, and so on.
After around ten minutes, the girls were greeted by a familiar voice.
"Oh lookie here. The teacher's pets are actually playing instead of studying." The familiar said in a sarcastic voice.
The girls paused their game to turn and glare at the new company.
"Shut up John." Moonhunter retorted, glaring at the red penguin and his group of friends.
"No. Get out of our court." He ordered.
"Why should we? The early bird catches the worm." Lake Blue refused, standing her ground.
"Go back to your studying, Lake Blue!" Markus retorted.
"Says the penguin who failed that test." Lake Blue shot back.
"But you penguins don't even come to school!" Travis defended, followed by a few oohs from the others.
"Lets just go to that court. They do have a larger group." Jessie reasoned, and the two followed her to the next court, but not before glaring at the boys first.
The girls played for a few more minutes before Mewcat bounded over to them.
"I had enough! Greenbat brought FireT over and he's like so annoying! You guys still playing?" She asked after rolling her eyes.
"Yep! We got kicked out of the court by the boys." Lake Blue made a face.
"Oh well. Lets go!" Jessie cheered as she once again threw the ball at the wall. Lake Blue jogged towards the ball, but this time she didn't hit it.
Before she was able to hit the ball, Travis sprinted past her and hit the ball instead.
"Hey!" Moonhunter yelled. "You already have your court! What else do you want?!"
"Travis, stop!" Tappat called as Travis and Snah began battling each other in a handball competition with the girls' handball. "Could we play with you guys? We kind of...don't have a handball."
"What happened to all of them? I thought you guys had like 100!" Lake Blue blurted out, confused.
"Sesian accidentally threw his over the fence, Snah dunked his in acid, John's was confiscated by Ms. Quinoa, and all 20 of Jade's are in his backpack at school."
The girls looked at each other skeptically. "I guess, but no arguing, and only a few of you can play." Lake Blue finally agreed.
They finally agreed and Tappat and Travis settled into a game against all four girls, since the boys were better at handball than them.
They put up a good fight, until Lake Blue sprinted too quickly for the ball and right after hitting it, she skidded into the wire fence before collapsing on the ground. She stood back up, rubbing the large bruise on her flipper. (Happened a few days ago. It was not fun. I still have a sore right arm and a large bruise on my right leg.)
"I'm temporarily disabled! Someone sub in for me!" She called as she went over to sit down. Snah immediately went into the game.
"That's not fair! Snah is like a computer at handball!" Travis yelled as Snah hit the ball, making it bounce extremely far away.
"Snah is a computer!" John yelled as the girls chuckled.
After an hour, the girls started to tire out.
"That's it. You penguins get your own handball." Jessie said as she snatched the handball out of mid air and placed it back in her pockets. The girls then made their way out of the courts before the boys could react.
"I got a text from Joanne. She said we should drop by her place. She said there's something really interesting that happened." Lake Blue said as they waddled to Joanne's igloo.
When they finally arrive, Joanne ushered them in and made them gather around the small table in the room.
"You know what? I got a customer." Joanne told them.
"Really? That's aweso..-" Lake Blue began.
"But that's not all. Guess who it was. Herbert!" She interrupted.
"What?! No way!" Mewcat blurted out.
"It definitely was him." Joanne nodded, thinking about the previous events.
Joanne was busy playing on her computer when she heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was just another salespenguin, she pulled up her surveillance camera to see who it was. When she saw the large white figure, her eyes nearly popped out.
"Is that?" She blurted out. "How did he escape?!" Luckily, she was already in her fortune teller outfit, so she just went to the door and opened it.
"Ahh, welcome!" She said in the best mysterious voice she could. "I'm Madame Jewel, but just call me Jewel." She made her way down to the fortune telling room, where a large crystal ball lay on the counter.
"Thanks." He gruffly said as he plopped down on the cushion.
"Now, how may I help you?" She asked, a little nervous.
"I want to know how to destroy the EPF and take over the island." He stated.
Joanne really wanted to say, "Thats not a part of fortune telling!" But she had a better idea.
"That's not your biggest concern." She said in her mystic voice again.
"Then what is?" He questioned.
"Umm...it is...um..." Joanne stuttered, but then said confidently, "You will die in two days."
"What!" Herbert blurted out as he sat up in surprise. "Is there a way to stop this?" He asked, panicking a little at the thought of dying.
"Umm, uh...there is one penguin that you must see if you want to preserve your life." She stuttered a little more.
"Who?!" He quickly asked.
"Um..." Joanne tried to think of anyone she could, "...Lake Blue!"
"What?!" Lake Blue cried out, staring at her friend in disbelief.
"I couldn't think of anyone else!" Joanne protested, shrugging a little.
"Great, I have another problem in my flippers." Lake Blue sighed. "And right after I just shook FireT off me."
"I'm sorry!" Joanne cried.
"Well, this could be a good thing." Mewcat interrupted. "We could finally capture Herbert, since now he escaped." She reasoned.
"I guess. So we're going to set the trap in my igloo?!" She questioned a little skeptically.
"Yeah. Because he's probably going to drop by soon." Joanne answered.
"We should probably get some confirmation from The Director." Jessie suggested, "Under the excuse 'quarantined due to hazardous conditions'." She giggled slightly.
"Well, lets go then!" Moonhunter said, standing up. Luckily, Joanne's igloo was fairly close to the EPF HQ, so it was a brief walk.
When they entered the command room, the first thing they head was Rookie's loud scream yelling, "LAAAAAAAAKE! JEEEESSSSSSIIE! MEEEEWWWWWWCAAAAAAT! HERBERT'S GONE!"
"Yes we know!" Mewcat told him. Rookie stopped flailing in his arms to stare at Mewcat.
"That really sounds like you let him out." Lake Blue playfully rolled her eyes, just as Rookie said the same thing.
"Jinx!" Rookie and Lake Blue immediately said, followed by double, then triple, and so on.
"Be quiet Rookie!" Lake Blue yelled, and Rookie, coincidently, yelled too. Lake Blue and the others looked at each other skeptically.
"Are you jinxed...with Rookie?" Gary asked as he just came over. Lake Blue rolled her eyes and shrugged, followed by a slight nod.
"Great! What is wrong with me today? First I injure myself in handball by crashing into a wall, then Joanne tells Herbert to find me, and now I'm jinxed with ROOKIE?!" She face-flippers as Rookie says the same thing as her at the same time.
"I like cookies." Rookie randomly said, causing Lake Blue to also say it.
"Why do I feel like this is going to be very annoying or confusing?" Jessie sighed.
"I think we should check up on Joanne. She was the one that invented the jinx machine." Mewcat suggested, and the large crowd headed out.
Along the way, a few penguins begged Gary and Rookie for autographs, which they gladly signed. Finally, they arrived once again at Joanne's. after ringing the bell a few times, Joanne's face appeared on the surveillance screen.
"What's up? I'm too lazy to open the door, so let yourselves in." The door then buzzed, and the agents pushed the door open and entered.
"You're so nice." Jet Pack Guy said sarcastically as they entered Joanne's living room.
"So what's up?" Joanne asked as she fetched them some tea and coffee.
"This?" Lake Blue said, causing Rookie to say the same thing. Joanne's face immediately turned to one of surprise and a little horror.
"Are you two jinxed?" She asked. Lake Blue said nothing and just nodded.
"Do you think you can reverse this?" Jessie asked, glancing at Rookie, who just found himself a pack of cookies.
"Not sure. I'm not like Herbert, planting self-destruct buttons on everything I make." Joanne shook her head.
"So what should we do? We have no idea where Herbert is." Lake Blue, and Rookie, reminded.
The question just hung there and the group thought in silence.
"I just realised that when you're jinxed with someone, it sounds just like one voice. Lakie! Lake Blue x Rookie!" Dot chuckled a bit, earning a glare from Lake Blue.
"So are you saying you ship Rookie x Klutzy?" Jet Pack Guy challenged.
"Maybe." Dot shrugged.
"I ship Herbert x Hankbert." Rookie added, causing Lake Blue to also regrettably say it.
"Wow Rookie, that's so...ga-" Jet Pack Guy finally said, before being interrupted by Gary.
"LGBT." Gary corrected.
"Gee, there's no difference." Jet Pack Guy glared.
"You know what! We need to put a tracker on Herbert." Joanne suggested. "That way you can easily find him again."
"You know, that's actually a good idea, since he has a tendency to run away." Jessie smiled.
"So should we just go full on search party?" Moonhunter asked, earning a few shrugs.
"We could. Chances are he's probably still close by." Gary agreed.
"Okay then. Lets just search the several hundred lairs he has on this island." Jet Pack Guy said sarcastically.
"Well, I heard when he was here that he said he was going to some lair in the wilderness. He said something about carrots." Joanne added.
"Carrots?" Jessie asked, racking her brain. Then she turned to Moonhunter, Mewcat, and Lake Blue. "Remember when Klutzy threw those bags of carrots at Herbert? Maybe he's in that cave."
The three nodded in confirmation. "Lets go then!" Lake Blue smiled, which quickly disappeared when Rookie also said the same.
They teleported to the edge of the wilderness and quickly made their way to the carrot cave, as it was soon dubbed by Rookie.
Hearing some quiet mutters in the cave, they quietly sneaked in. Lake Blue didn't actually kick down the door, since, well, there technically was no door.
Pressing their ears against the wall, they listened in on the snippets of conversation.
"So we don't even know if the jinx machine works or not, genius!" An unfamiliar voice retorted.
"It should! All my machines work!" Herbert reasoned.
"Click Ka click klick."
"What do you mean by that, Klutzy!? Diamond is an evil sidekick!"
"Click click klik."
"You're just jealous!"
"Click click!"
"Is to!"
"Click click!"
"Is to!"
"Cut it out you two." The penguin, as they assumed was this Diamond character, scolded. "This is why you never succeed, Herbert. Arguments everywhere. And Klutzy, I have no idea what you're saying, but you better shut your mouth too."
"Okay then Miss Diplomat, what do you say we do?" Herbert retorted.
"You're the boss. You do what you want." Diamond retorted back.
"Okay then. As stated before, I'm going to use this jinx machine to destroy the whole island!" He gloated.
"How can a jinxing machine destroy the whole island? It just jinxes stuff." Rookie, and Lake Blue, questioned, a little too loudly might I add.
"What was that?" Herbert and Diamond asked as footsteps were heard. Before they arrive, the agents motioned to each other to run for it. And they did.
Unfortunately, just before they reached the exit, a cage came crashing down on them, trapping them inside.
"Well look who we have here." Herbert's familiar voice cackled.
Great, another cage. xD While all of you are stuck on a cliffhanger, all of us are stuck in a cage! XD
Once again, thank you piplup40 for the idea! :D
And it's time for a personally blog from your fellow author! I have recently started playing the piano again, and I have been obsessed with playing Approaching Nirvana songs on the piano. Which is kind of hard since I can't exactly reach an octave, which most of the songs need you to be able to do. :I But I found two new Approaching Nirvana songs I like! Lights Are Out And Waiting For The Sun! :D
That's all for today! Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I wish you an awesome day! :D
