"URGH! God! Can't they see I'm trying to get a lie in!" Stripe muttered darkly to himself, as he struggled to keep his eyes open to the grimy, white blanket above him.

He sighed groggily to himself before covering one of his ears with his free hand, as he pressed his head back into the hard, firm, brown wood, trying to block out all the sound coming from outside the blanket, since they had came to this loft most mornings were noisy, but Stripe thought that this was really taking the cake, he looked down at his left hand side where Greta lay against his strong, scaly chest, snuggling in as deep as she could like a fish in the sea, Stripe also had his left arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her against him.

Since yesterday, Stripe and Greta had really gotten passionate with each other, expressing their love for each other whenever they could as they walked through the Peltzer loft, not even caring if a snigger was placed upon their shoulders, they would just simply brush it off and carry on like a normal couple for the sniggerers would never understand what real love was, their love for each other was expressed throughout the whole loft and there wasn't a single Gremlin who didn't know about their relationship and soon, the whole loft knew that they were together.

Many people had different views on their relationship such as Lenny and Angela, who were instantly happy for them as they both came past that night, Stripe's firm arm around Greta's delicate, slender waist was a cute sight for anyone with a good soul. There was also Brain, who had been spotting the couple do many passionate things to each other such as kissing with extreme passion and Stripe doing really dirty things to Greta however, he would only tut to himself and mutter the words: 'So Uncivilised.' Over and over again. They had been together for less than a day and their relationship had already annoyed the Einstein Gremlin to death as it was too, as he would say 'Uncivilised.', and that was only a few hours after they came out from under that blanket! But Stripe and Greta didn't care because they loved each other and that was all that was needed in their life, their eyes and ears would go out for the other and the other only, no amount of whinging and whining from Brain would stop them from doing what they wanted to do more than anything... loving each other.

Stripe smiled down at his lover, keeping his arm round Greta as she slept so peacefully and quiet, curled up against her protector and showed no signs of waking up anytime soon. For a moment, all Stripe could hear was Greta's warm breaths against his neck as he reached round to her with his free hand and ran it through her soft, green curls and put his head closer to hers, tucking it under his chin, he could smell her shampoo as the aroma radiated up his Gremlin nose, it smelt like sweetly of strawberries.

To him, it was the only thing that radiated the stink out the loft, for a moment, all Stripe could do was stare at his lover before the sounds outside got increasingly louder as the Gremlins outside started screaming out loud, Stripe could faintly make out what they were saying but he didn't even care at the moment, all he wanted was extra sleep and to be tucked up with Greta under the blankets but it didn't seem like it was going to happen with all the noise going on beyond the blanket besides, he was practically wide awake now.

Frustrated about not being able to get back to sleep, Stripe leaned up and growled at the white blanket above them, as if it was the source of all the noise as well as tightening his grip around Greta out of anger and kissing her hard on her forehead as Stripe glared up at the blanket top with nothing but anger frozen on his face.

Greta slowly moaned to herself as she slowly stirred before blinking her eyes open. "Mmmmmm... morning Stripey." Greta whispered, as she tried to keep her eyes open to look at Stripe.

Stripe heard her and instantly whipped his head round to her, smirking as he looked down at her. "Hey Greta, nice sleep babe?" Stripe asked, as he grinned down at her.

"Better than ever, now that I'm with you." Greta replied, whilst smiling up at Stripe.

Stripe sadistically grinned, showing his sharp, yellow tinted, triangular teeth as he peered down at Greta's attire, all that she was wearing was her baby pink, leopard patterned bra with matching knickers, the Gremlin leader's grin got even bigger as he pulled Greta close to him before whispering back: "I agree." Stripe then pressed his lips against hers once again, whilst holding her tight round her waist, Greta could only giggle as his embrace once again got deeper. Stripe and Greta were really going for it until the noise outside the blanket escalated even more, frustrating Stripe, causing him to break the kiss and let go of Greta, who fell back out of Stripe's arms and banged her back, head and elbows against the floor, she groaned as she sat back up as she rubbed her elbows, guessing that she had a nasty bruise somewhere.

"Ouch..." Greta moaned, as she was now rubbing her head, she looked at Stripe, who looked like he was about to blow. "Something a matter Stripey?"

"WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE SO MUCH BLIMMIN NOISE EVERY MORNING? CAN'T THEY JUST TONE IT DOWN FOR ONCE?" Stripe screamed frustratingly, as he kept his eyes on the blanket. Stripe then pressed his ear up against the blanket, trying to listen to what the Gremlins outside were saying.

Greta immediately spotted his action and was instantly confused. "Stripey, what are you doing?" She questioned, as she stared on at Stripe, instantly confused to his actions.

"SHHHHH!" Stripe whispered. He then listened on; trying to figure out what exactly was going on out there, a few minutes went by and Stripe was still listening.

He then widened his eyes before growling in anger and turning to Greta with an expression of pure rage. "Greta, I gotta go, something's going on that I have to sort out." Stripe said, as he crawled forward to the end of the blanket.

Greta widened her eyes. "Stripey, what's going on?" She asked, curious to what was happening.

Stripe turned his head to her, his blood red eyes glowing with rage, a mad glint in his eyes as he stared, his mouth twisted into a jutted frown. "I'll give you 2 words: Brain Gremlin."

Greta gasped, instantly covering her mouth. "Oh God, what's he done this time?" Greta exclaimed, as she kept her eyes pinned on Stripe.

"I don't know, but that's something that I'm going to find out. Wait here, I'll be right back!" Stripe demanded, before crawling straight out of the blanket.

"STRIPEY WAIT! I'M COMING WITH YOU!" Greta yelled, as she quickly got dressed into her outfit that she wore on the night that he was brought back to life which consisted of a red cropped blouse and a short demin skirt.

As soon as she got dressed, Greta bolted out the blanket after Stripe, trying to keep up with him as he stomped across the hard, wooden floor towards the Gremlins, his white streak of hair, seeming to stick up more than usual as it swayed left to right continuously like a flag in the wind, his red eyes glowing powerfully in the dark, dim lighted loft, making them seem luminous as he marched ahead of him, keeping his eyes pinned to the Gremlins backs.

For a moment, all Stripe and Greta did was march ahead of them until Stripe finally stopped still, his eyes scanning the area ahead of him, he was only about half a meter now from the Gremlins backs and from what he could tell, they were forming a circle of some sorts and it seemed like that nearly every Gremlin that he spawned was present in the circle, he growled to himself before muttering: "Brain, just what the hell are you up to!" Stripe then looked up at the ceiling, trying to decide what he should do next when he felt something on his shoulder.

Turning his head round, he could see that it was Greta and she was panting extremely hard whilst wrapping her Gremlin arm round his neck, trying to get her breath back as she slowly panted, one hand on her heart as she looked up at Stripe.

"Stripey... *pant* what's... *pant* going on?" Greta asked, as she breathed out for gasps of air in the process.

Stripe looked back at the circle. "I don't know, but it seems that there having a meeting of some sorts and I'm going to find out what it's about!" he shouted, as he dashed forward to the Gremlins ahead of them.

"STRIPEY NO!" Greta screamed, as she dashed after him, still panting for a dose of fresh air.

But Stripe didn't stop in fact, he had no intention of stopping, he didn't need Brain causing trouble and strife, turning everyone against him which he definitely didn't need, he needed everyone in tact if he was ever going to complete his goal: Destroy Gizmo and take back what was originally his. As Stripe stomped through, he roughly pushed past many Gremlins by pushing them to the side and even pushing some to the floor as he stomped onwards, trying to get to the middle of the circle, where all the commotion was supposedly taking place, growling as he went, shouting things like: "MOVE!", "OUT OF MY WAY!" and many other things that were definitely not used in formality.

Stripe then stopped for a moment, for he could see what was going on in the middle. There stood the Einstein Gremlin himself, arms crossed with a big grin on his face as he stood there, waving his arms about at many Gremlins all around him like an arrow on its spinner, Stripe only clenched his teeth together in pure anger as he looked on at what was happening, he didn't need Brain turning this loft into some kind of 'Civilised abode.' With a growl, he marched forward, pushing yet another Gremlin over and staring, straight at Brain.

Brain meanwhile, was having the time of his life in the middle as he wise cracked once again at a Gremlin complainer. Raising one of his arms up in the air, he gave out a loud sigh to himself before finally yelling: "Alright everybody, settle down... NOW!"

Every Gremlin in the circle instantly jumped out of their skin at Brain's sudden outburst and stared straight at him, eyes widening and ears tingling with curiosity as they all stood on their own two feet, wondering why Brain brought them all here in the first place, the five Mogwai included as they were all sat in a line at the front on some hard yet dusty old chairs. The line was as follows: Daffy, Mohawk, Angela, Lenny and then George as they all sat there with the same curiosity as the Gremlins, frowns on their delicate peach button mouths and confusion encased in their eyes.

Brain then coughed for a moment before smirking at his audience, who were finally quiet as they stared onwards, waiting for him to say something. After a minute or so, Brain finally opened his mouth, putting his hands on his hips as he exclaimed: "Now then everyone, I bet you're all wondering why I woke you all up so early and brought you all here. Right?"

"You got that right! Me and Lenny haven't had much sleep since the day we came here and as if the hard floors were bad enough, we didn't need you shouting all odds in our ears!" George yelled in protest, as he stared hard at Brain. "So whatever this reason is for waking us up this early better be worth it!"

Mohawk turned his head to look at George, analysing his story for a moment before turning back to Brain whilst folding his arms coolly as he leaned against his chair impatiently. "Yeah Brain, for once I agree with George, if this is one of your poxy lessons about 'Civilisation.' Then you've got another thing coming Pro-fess-or!"

After hearing Mohawk's snarky comment, the Gremlins behind instantly started sniggering loudly, some even snorted their noses out of laughter, Mohawk only kept grinning at Brain as the eruption of laughter got louder behind him. At this, Mohawk narrowed his eyes as his grin got bigger, showing his small triangular white teeth, giving Brain the most dastardly face that he could do.

Brain growled to himself as he kept his eyes fixed on Mohawk's evil little face, trying not to let his anger consume him. He slowly closed his eyes as he took a deep breath before shouting: "SILENCE!"

The Gremlins instantly stopped in their tracks and looked straight back at Brain.

"The reason why I brought you here is because... have you ever felt so bored in here, so bored that there was just nothing to do I mean, I'm in here all day with nothing to bloody do but sit against the wall!" Brain explained. "I mean, having nothing to do is just Uncivilised, know what I'm saying?"

Everyone just stood or sat there, looking at him with a 'what are you talking about' face.

Mohawk kept smirking, a glint of mischief in his eyes as he snootily countered: "See what I mean everyone? He can't go a blimmin day without mentioning 'Civilisation' and he says that he's got nothing to do... pah! It's a load of rubbish, as I walk past, I see him doing something although, he won't show it, meh... like I care anyways..."

Brain once again whipped round at Mohawk and stomped over to the black and white Mogwai, getting right in his face. "IF YOU DON'T BLOODY SHUT UP, I'LL MAKE YOU SHUT UP!"

Mohawk just kept smirking. "Go on then. Make me! Like you'll win a prize from it!"

Brain pulled away from Mohawk's gaze but still peered down at him. "Need I remind you that your just a weak, little-

"YOU BLOODY ASS WIPE!"

Brain smirked as he stood up at full stance, taking his head away from Mohawk and looking straight up at the ceiling, he knew who it was and he was waiting for the moment that he'd show. The Einstein Gremlin slowly turned round to see Stripe himself, clutching a Gremlins chest with his claws before carelessly throwing it to the ground. Brain grinned at the white streaked Gremlin, looking into his blood red eyes, feeling no fear from them what-so-ever.

"May I help you Stripe?" Brain questioned, as he took a few steps towards the Gremlin Legend.

Stripe walked towards him, full of nothing but rage. "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA BRAIN, WAKING EVERYONE UP TO YOUR LITTLE MEETING AY? WHAT WAS IT? TURN EVERYONE AGAINST ME SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THE DIRTY WORK, AY?" Stripe screamed, as he stared Brain straight in the eyes, not moving a muscle.

Brain grinned; he figured that he was going to enjoy this very much. "I wasn't against you at all Stripe; I was just telling everyone how boring this loft is!"

Stripe just stood there, annoyed and dumbfounded as he exclaimed: "Boring? Brain, there is nothing boring about this loft besides, me and some of my comrades here play cards, we gamble and we have a great load of fun!" Stripe turned to the audience. "Don't we guys!"

At this, some of the Gremlins cheered shouting out with a great big: "YEAH!" Stripe then folded his arms and smirked at Brain, glad that he had back-up on his side, but the Einstein Gremlin still held his ground, a big smirk plastered across his face, determined to change that.

As both Gremlin leaders were glaring daggers at each other, Greta came running into the middle of the circle as she kept her eyes pinned on Stripe, who was currently having a glaring contest with Brain but that didn't stop her from jumping on to Stripe, instantly giving him a bone crushing hug.

"OH STRIPEY! Are you ok? What's happening?" Greta asked, as she slowly pulled back from Stripe's chest yet still keeping her arms round him.

Stripe could barely breath now; he could feel himself going embarrassed as Greta pulled him close to her body. "Greta... not now..." Stripe muttered, as he tried to pry himself free of his lover's clutches.

Brain smiled at the Gremlin couple, chuckling to himself as he saw Stripe going red as a beetroot in Greta's clutches as she hugged him, he smiled even more though when the Gremlin Legend was practically trying to escape from Greta's arms, his eyes full of embarrassment, Brain smirked at the couple, keeping his eyes on Stripe as he commented: "Well, well, you really got yourself lucky this time Stripe."

Instantly, both Stripe and Greta's eyes clicked straight at Brain, Stripe's face going even more red as he just stood there like a statue, completely shell-shocked. Greta however, slowly removed her arms from Stripe, staring straight at Brain, unable to remove her lilac eyes from his gaze; she took a step towards the Einstein Gremlin before asking: "Brain, what's going on here?"

Brain only smiled at her. "Greta my darling, I was just telling everyone here how boring it is up here I mean, other that chat, people have got nothing to do... other than card games with Stripe that possibly lead to instant death, who agrees with me here?"

Angela raised her hand. "I do!"

Brain smiled down at Angela before kneeling next to her. "What's your name, darling?" Brain questioned, whilst keeping his eyes on the female cream Mogwai in front of him.

Angela smiled at Brain, looking into his big yellow eyes before replying: "My name's Angela."

Brain stood back up, glaring at the Gremlin couple. "See, Angela agrees with me." Brain said, whilst pointing down at Angela. "It's so uncivilised when you're not active but yet, it's so civilised when your bad." Brain commented, smirking out of pure glee in the process.

"Brain, what the heck are you talking about?" Greta questioned, confused to what he meant.

"That's what I'm thinking; I bet you can't go one day with mentioning civilisation Brain!" Mohawk whined, as he slunk down into his chair.

Brain whipped round to the Mogwai. "I can so! But civilisation is a very-

"ITS BLOODY TRUE I'M TELLING YA!" Stripe shouted, whilst whacking his forehead and hanging his head down in annoyance.

Angela sighed to herself, due to Brain's speech of action; she thought it was a perfect time to show off one of her most treasured skills, it was something that she hadn't shown anyone, not even her best friend Lenny but that was only out of pure nervousness of doing it on her own. But this brain wave that she had in her mind told her that she wasn't going to be on her own, as long as Lenny does what's planned, she was going to be fine. Pushing all her nerves to the side, Angela looked up at the two male Gremlins, who were practically at each other's throats before clearing her throat and yelling: "Brain?"

Brain walked over to her. "Yes Angela?" He questioned, curious to what she had to say.

Angela gave Brain a big smile before saying: "I was thinking that maybe we could have a do on tonight."

Stripe suddenly whipped round himself, eyes widening in alarm as he ran over to Angela and Brain, from what he could tell this 'do' wasn't going to be the best on his part, he pushed Brain to the side before kneeling down at Angela, glaring at her straight in the eyes, this 'do' of hers was something he needed to know about. "Yeah? What kind of do?" Stripe questioned, as he stared on at the female Mogwai in front of him, his ears twitching for answers.

Angela's smile got bigger as she started jumping up and down on her seat in excitement, after all these years she was finally going to show Lenny one of her most beautiful talents, her milk brown eyes were sparkling with excitement as she went hyper in her seat, almost as hyper as Daffy when he goes proper nuts. Lenny looked on at his best friend next to him, confused and curious as to why she was so excited, he was about to say something but then decided to shrug it off as he stared on at Angela, waiting for her to give a statement.

Angela took a deep breath as she slowly karmed down and turned to look at Stripe, excitement jiggling through her body as she replied: "I was thinking... that maybe we could have a dance off."

Both Brain and Stripe were instantly confused. "A Dance off?" They both simultaneously yelled.

Angela nodded. "Yeah..."

Both of the Gremlins looked at each other in confusion, hoping the other could give some clear statement about what Angela meant.

Spotting this, Angela sighed at their stupidity. "You know, where a man asks a woman to dance with them on the dance floor in a romantic gesture, you know... a Prom." Angela explained, her voice going more and more dreamlike as she fantasized her and Lenny on the dance floor, twirling each other round like spinning tops, Lenny spinning her in the air protectively, his maroon eyes sparking out at any Gremlins who tried to dislodge her from his arms and feeling his heartbeat against hers as Lenny waltzed her across the dance floor, keeping her as close to him as possible. As her fantasy came to an end, Angela dreamily sighed as the Gremlin leaders stared at her weirdly.

Brain then thought about what Angela had just said and smirked in a rather evil way, this... was going to be fun! "Angela, your wish is my command! Tonight will be..." Brain then turned round, immediately undoing his blazer buttons and taking it straight off. "Hold this will ya Stripe!" Brain yelled, as he threw his blazer straight at Stripe's face.

Stripe widened his eyes in surprise as he saw Brain's blazer flying straight at him, he instantly catched it but when he did, dust instantly emitted from the jacket, causing Stripe to cough as he held the dusty blazer in his arms.

Brain then undone some of his shirt buttons from the top before loosening his tie, making it look scruffy as it now dragged down to his trousers. He then walked to some boxes before finally getting out a long, black top hat and placing it straight on his head, he also got out a long black cloak and instantly stretched it out, chucking the dust out in Stripe's direction in the process as he swung the cloak round his shoulders, he then turned towards Angela as he kept his head down, his left arm holding the edge of the top hat, while his right arm kept the glowing ebony black cloak round him.

For a few seconds, all Brain did was keep his head down until he finally looked upwards, spinning around out of pure joy as he yelled: "THE NIGHT OF THE GREMLINS DANCE!"

Angela gasped happily before instantly standing up on her chair, squealing happily in the process. "YEAH! OH, THANKS BRAIN!" Angela squealed, as she twirled round on her chair in pure excitement.

Greta then gave out a loud squeal herself, as she dragged Stripe's arm towards her. "OH STRIPEY! AIN'T THIS GREAT, WE CAN FINALLY DANCE TOGETHER!"Greta cried, as she rested her head on Stripe's shoulder lovingly.

But Stripe was far from happy as he growled at Brain, it wasn't that he didn't want to dance, it was just because Brain was at the rear, he figured that this was all part of Brain's plan to embarrass him as much as possible because as Stripe knew, Brain loved it when he was under pressure, he looked back down at Greta, who was practically looking forward to dance with him, he could tell because of the sparkle in her eyes and the smile across her big, red dribbling lips. "Don't listen to him Greta, there is no prom!" Stripe shouted, as he kept his eyes on the Einstein Gremlin who was now turning round himself, Angela frowned as she heard Stripe's words.

"And, may I ask, why not?" Brain questioned, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Stripe.

Stripe pried himself from Greta's grasp and stepped towards Brain, getting right in his face. "Because, you need my permission, ok? This is MY LOFT, and I'M IN CHARGE SO I MAKE THE ORDERS, OK?" Stripe shouted, his red eyes glowing straight at Brain before looking up at everyone else. "And that goes for all you lot too!" The Gremlin shouted, pointing a green scaly finger at the audience in the process.

Brain could only smirk once more as he crossed his arms coolly. "Pffft, YOUR Loft, who said that it was YOUR Loft?" Brain questioned, as he smirked at Stripe, waiting for the Gremlin to answer.

Stripe narrowed his eyebrows as he put his hands on his hips. "I did. Just now! And let me tell you something else, AT LEAST I DON'T DRESS LIKE SOME COSTUMED FREAK AND ACT LIKE A BLOODY GOODY TWO SHOES!" Stripe screamed in reply, as he kept his eyes pinned on Brain.

Brain kept his smirk on. "Well let me tell you now... Stripey..." Brain chuckled to himself. "I'm far from what you call a goody two shoes and, that's the problem with you Stripe, it's always me, me, me ain't it? Well, you know what? Let the Gremlins decide, let everyone else say what THEY want for a change, eh?" Brain paused for a moment, before turning to the audience and carrying on his little speech. "Besides, also at the prom, we'll be having a sugary feast of course, before midnight due to Mogwai's being here, so Angela, when your down at Gizmo's, make sure you bring some food up here, eh?"

Angela gave the Einstein Gremlin a smile. "I sure will Brain!" She cheered, before giving him a thumb up.

At this, all the Gremlins started muttering things to each other, mostly about the food, but still, some of them even wanted to give dancing a go.

"Brain, you are NOT having this do!" Stripe shouted, as he glared on at the Einstein Gremlin.

Brain kept his eyes on the muttering Gremlins for a minute before turning back to Stripe, a triumphant smile plastered across his face. "Really? Then why don't you ask your crew then?" Brain then smiled in glee as he walked forward towards the audience. "Has the jury reached a verdict?" He asked, as he smiled sinisterly at the Gremlins.

One Gremlin, who was right at the front, grinned at Brain approvingly as he said: "We wanna dance!" At this, all the Gremlins in the circle cheered as they stomped on the hard floor beneath them as they chanted: "DANCE!" repeatedly. Brain done the most sinister grin that you could think of as he turned round at Stripe, showing him his pearl white sparkling teeth, his yellow eyes flashing out like a light bulb as he grinned at Stripe, knowing that he had won the case.

"So Stripe, can we dance now?" Brain mocked, as he moved his top hat down even more so that he looked mysterious.

Stripe growled at Brain as he looked up at all the Gremlins who were practically chanting: "DANCE!" right in his ears, it pounded in his head like a bouncy ball. Stripe sighed to himself as he held his head out of anger, trying to close out the Gremlins chants but he couldn't and even if he could get his point across now, they'll be no one to back him up when Brain sends a wise crack towards him, not even Greta as she was practically looking forward to the Gremlins prom to do the ever official dance with him, he knew that he couldn't win now, Stripe decided that he would let Brain have his little 'Prom do.' As long as it didn't cause trouble on his part.

He let out a sigh in agony, as he looked up at Brain, who was giving him the most evil grin that you could think of as Stripe finally said: "FINE! You can have your Prom thing or... whatever, on one condition!"

Brain just kept grinning. "What would this condition be then?" He questioned.

Stripe kept his eyes on Brain, as he stiffly replied: "That you make no attempts to embarrass me what-so-ever! Got that? Cause I don't really want to be involved!"

Brain just smiled. "Your wish is my command Stripe!" He then turned to the Gremlin audience in front of him. "GREMLINS! TONIGHT WE MUST DANCE! SO GET ASKING YOUR SPECIAL ONE OF YOURS TO THE DANCE!" Brain then turned away as he muttered to himself: "Or just plainly come here for the free food..."

Stripe then crossed his arms before shouting: "You know what, I'm out of here, I've got better things to do with my life!" The white streaked Gremlin then turned round to leave but for some reason he couldn't because he couldn't move his left hand, it was like a pulling force was stopping him from moving. He immediately turned round and the first thing he saw was Greta's face as she pulled him back towards her like a magnet and wrapped her arms round him so he wouldn't escape her clutches, their faces were now only millimetres apart and Stripe could feel Greta's unsanitary breath brush against his neck as he looked into her lilac eyes, which rooted him to the spot.

"Oh Stripey, ain't you got something to ask me?" Greta cheerily stated, as she looked into Stripe's blood red eyes, her lips dribbling slightly in the process.

Stripe backed up before instantly bumping into her bind that she had round his waist, he looked down at her arms, muttering things about his good looks before looking back at Greta, straight into her lilac eyes and narrowed his eyebrows at her before breaking out of her grasp and yelling: "Oh Shove it Greta! JUST SHOVE IT!" and with that, the Gremlin leader left, once again by pushing Gremlins to the ground in the circle.

Greta just stood there in complete shock, trying not to cry as she headed for the same exit as Stripe, keeping her head down so no-one could see her emotions, and leaving the circle.

Brain chuckled to himself as he watched Stripe and Greta leave, part of him glad that Greta wasn't going to be coming on to him anymore, he then looked back up at both the Gremlins audience and the Mogwai, giving them a nonchalant expression as they all just stood or sat there in the awkward silence.

Angela broke the silence. "What time will the dance start Brain?" She questioned, as she stared on at Brain, her eyes blinking in excitement.

Brain smiled at Angela as he replied: "Well, I think the best time to start the prom would be 8:30pm but make sure you get up here for 8pm at least, as were going to have a music fest beforehand." He then turned to everyone else. "That goes for you lot too." He stated, as he stared at the Gremlin faces before him. "For now, you may go, I'll see you tonight everyone." Brain declared as he then made his way out of his own circle and walking... into the darkness of the loft.

As the circle of Gremlins faded, the five Mogwai slowly made their way off their chairs, careful not to fall on their heads as they dropped their cute little Mogwai feet to the ground. All except for Daffy of course, who just instantly fell backwards off his chair, which ended up in him doing two gambols across the dusty, wooden floor before finally stopping, laughing crazily and skipping away merrily, his ginger eyes cross-eyed and his spotted tiger fur covered in ancient dust as he skipped away, without a care in the world on what he did next.

When Lenny had finally got down, Angela instantly hugged him, nuzzling her cream head under his fluffy chin, Lenny only jumped in surprise as she embraced him, hugging her back as close to him as she could and although it was faint, Lenny blushed, his maroon eyes were frozen with shock and he bit his lip harder, his buck teeth gripping his peach, pearl skin.

"OH LENNY, ISN'T THIS EXCITING!" Angela squealed, as she hugged Lenny tighter.

Lenny let go of his best friend and looked at her with confusion. "What's exciting?" He asked.

Angela could only giggle to herself before looking back up at him. "The Prom Lenny, the prom, I can't wait till tonight, it's going to be so... WONDERFUL!" Angela then paused as she looked down at the ground. "But..."

Lenny widened his eyes at her with curiosity. "But what?"

Angela looked back up at him. "I need a date for the prom, I mean; I can't just go on my own can I?" She explained, as she stared Lenny straight in his maroon eyes. "If only someone will ask me..." Angela cried out, as a small frown was now forming on her button mouth. Angela then hung her head down out of sadness but, if you looked closely, you could see a big smile on her face as she hung her head low, hoping that Lenny would somehow take pity and ask her but all she could do now... was wait.

Lenny widened his eyes as he saw his best friend hang her head low; she was looking forward to this prom ever since Brain had declared it was on and Lenny could tell instantly as soon as Brain declared it but now, Angela was completely tear stained and he HATED it when she was sad like that, Lenny himself was always there to cheer her up when she got blue and make her into a happy sunshine again. Plus, he loved her and it was more than friendship, he would do almost anything for her and he would definitely go to the prom with her, if that was what she wanted, he was going to give it to her.

With the best named confidence in him, Lenny lifted her cream head towards him out of its hanged state and looked straight in to her milk brown eyes before letting out a big sigh and nervously saying: "Angie, I have something to ask you."

Angela's face instantly lit up as she gave him a big smile, showing that she was up for the question. "What is it Lenny?" Angela asked, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

Lenny immediately started shivering out of pure nervousness. "Um... Well... Um... I was wondering if... Um... Um..." Lenny stuttered, as he kept his eyes on Angela, his fur standing on end like an angry cat when they threateningly hiss at their opponents, ready to pounce.

Angela then leaned in and nuzzled him before slowly removing her head. "Yes Lenny?" She asked, as she looked into his big, maroon eyes.

Lenny then gave out a big sigh before looking straight at Angela, his confidence re-growing as he stated: "Angela, will you go to th-

"Back off Buck face!"

Before either Lenny or Angela could react, Mohawk had already got in between them and pushed them apart, knocking Lenny to the ground in the process as he stared down at him, his red eyes glowing with mischief. Seeing the chaos unfolding, George ran over to Lenny and helped him up from the ancient wooden floor, Angela joining them also.

"MOHAWK! What the hell do you want now?" George yelled, as he held on to one of Lenny's arms to stop him from brutally attacking Mohawk.

Mohawk only grinned seductively as he made his way forward to the three other Mogwai, eyes glowing with a glint of evil in them. "I'm just here to tell buck face there not to steal my date." He then turned to Angela and immediately wrapped his arm round her neck, dragging her forwards with him. "Ain't that right babe?" Mohawk cooed, as he fiddled with Angela's red bow with his free hand.

Angela widened her eyes at Mohawk before trying to get free of his grip he had round her neck, she could barely breath due to the grip he had on her, all she wanted to do now was get away, and quick. "NO WAY MOHAWK!" Angela screamed, as she managed to get her arms out of his lockdown that he had on her.

Mohawk only kept grinning as he tightened his grip on Angela. "Awww, don't be like that babe really, we have some unfinished business to do."

Angela's eyes suddenly widened to a new low. "Unfinished business? What does he mean?" Angela thought, as she tried to dig her nails into the wooden floor to somehow stop Mohawk from walking so fast because at the speed that he was going combined with the grip that he had on her, Angela felt like she was going to pass out if it carried on for much longer, the whole loft was practically spinning, Angela's head was now starting to ache and her vision was going blurry. She had to get away, and quick otherwise something bad might happen. Despite her blurry vision and spinning head, Angela looked up at Mohawk as he walked, her hands gripped on his black furry arms as she pushed herself upwards so that she could at least breathe for air. Once she done that, she kept her eyes on Mohawk's face, Angela then noticed that his eyes wasn't on her but were just looking straight ahead of him so she knew instantly that he was distracted. Pushing herself upwards once more, Angela balled one of her hands into a fist, and whilst Mohawk was looking round him for a moment, Angela took her chance by taking her fist and punching Mohawk straight in his face which made him lose his grip on her and fall back to the floor.

"CRAP!" Mohawk yelled in surprise, as he fell backwards on to the hard, wooden floor. He then slowly sat up and felt his nose; he then looked at his hands and instantly noticed one thing: they were bloodied! Almost instantly, Mohawk then knew that Angela had given him a bloodied nose. He looked up at Angela, who was now getting her proper vision back, her headache was clearing but she was still stumbling round out of dizziness. Mohawk growled at Angela before pointing a finger at her and shouting: "WHY YOU LITTLE BLOODY-

Angela cut him off. "If you put your arm round my neck like that again you're going to get more than a bloodied nose, I assure you!" The Female Mogwai shouted, as she stared down at the black and white Mogwai before her.

"Angela! Are you ok?"

Angela turned to see George and Lenny, who had only just catched up with them both. Angela only walked over to Lenny and smiled. "I'm fine Lenny." Angela replied, she then looked down at Mohawk, who now had bloodied hands due to his nose bleed before looking back at Lenny and saying: "Let's go guys!" Before instantly walking away, George slowly following her.

Lenny however stayed rooted to the spot as he looked on at Mohawk, who was getting himself bloodied up and snickered at his mis-hap. Mohawk instantly heard Lenny and shot his head up like a jack in the box however, he never said a word; all he did was give Lenny a sinister glare. At this, Lenny just smirked, before catching up to his two best friends.

As he watched Lenny go, Mohawk growled and crossed his arms as he muttered: "Girls! Who needs em!"

Lenny soon caught up to his two friends as they all trounced along through the loft, pushing past many Gremlins, neither of them saying a word to each other until George broke the silence by saying: "Hey Angela, how was your mission with Gizmo yesterday?"

Lenny instantly went green with envy. "Oh God! Not more bloody Gizmo!" He thought.

Angela only smiled at George as she explained: "It was great! In fact, yesterday, Gizmo's guardians Billy and Kate invited me to the beach, along with Gizmo himself of course and you something, Gizmo is SUCH a daredevil, you know what he did while we were there?"

George only smirked jokingly. "What? Kill someone?"

Angela only laughed at his answer. "NO! He nearly killed himself!"

"I'm actually surprised that he didn't, it would save a lot of problems here!" Lenny thought, as he listened on to their conversation.

George widened his eyes. "Really?"

Angela nodded. "Yeah. He wanted to have a go on a surfboard, so I ran to Billy and Kate; he could have multiplied or even died!" Angela cried, her voice getting higher and more worried as she finished.

George frowned as he crossed his arms at her. "What made you save him?" He asked firmly.

Angela sighed before turning away from George. "I don't know, but... something in me was saying that he wasn't a bad guy, he explained to me what happened between him and Stripe and the way he said it... it didn't sound made up or anything. It was like he was telling the truth, he even broke down right in front of me... it was so strange. Plus, he's so... so... cute."

Lenny cringed at her last statement. Ever since Angela had started spying, all she talked about was Gizmo and it was making Lenny green with envy everytime she even mentioned his name and would always say GOOD things about him, no bad things what-so-ever and that's what hit Lenny hard in the heart, saying all the best things in the world about Gizmo and she had only known him for what... 2 days? And the Mogwai was already in her good books, when he had met Angela; it took him a good few days before they were completely friends but Gizmo... he was there like lightning, Angela had even called Gizmo an angel. But then, that's what Gizmo was... an angel from heaven without one single strike of hell in him, Gizmo was a good soul and Lenny sure knew that himself as soon as he, George and Mohawk had locked him in the air vent but Angela didn't know that... yet.

"But that's what he wants everyone to think Angela; he could turn on you at any time and stab you in the back." George exclaimed, as he tried to direct her down a different road.

Angela sighed. "Your right George but... he just seems so... innocent." Angela paused for a moment as she stared into space before turning round towards George and saying: "I'm going to speak to Stripe about it, I don't know why but, I feel like I need to say something to Stripe about it." Angela then sighed to herself. "I'll see you tonight George, you too Lenny!" And with that, she left.

Lenny then let out a big sigh. "Yeah, see ya later Angie." He said, as he walked over to the nearest box and sat on it.

George raised his eyebrows at Lenny as he watched him climb on the cardboard box and sit on it, with crossed legs and his head in his lap, his hands gripping some of his fur on his face, like he was ready to tear it out any second now, the thing that shocked George most was Lenny's eyes, they weren't the usual clumsy Lenny that he'd see in them, his eyes were actually... full of pure frustration and jealousy plus, the position that Lenny was doing on the box... it wasn't like him cause usually Lenny would dangle his legs free, his hands were usually placed innocently in his lap, it was like he was completely free but, this position... it was like he was scrunched up like a paper ball and tossed aside like the runt of the litter.

"Lenny... are you feeling ok?" George asked, even though he felt like it was a stupid question to even ask.

"I'm fine George." Lenny replied firmly, as he kept himself in the scrunched position, not even looking at George who looked round in his eyes, they were still frozen with jealousy.

George sighed. "Lenny, come on, I know you second best to Angela, and I know something's up Lenny, this isn't like you so come-on Len, tell me, what's wrong?" George demanded, as he kept his hands on his hips, waiting for Lenny's answer.

Lenny let go of the fur on his face and looked straight at George, his eyebrows furrowing in anger and his maroon eyes glowing with envy. "To tell you the truth George, it's Gizmo."

George widened his eyes. "What about him?"

"Its Angela and the things she says about him it's always: 'Gizmo's such a cutie.' Or: 'Gizmo's an angel.' Or even the all new: "Gizmo's SUCH a daredevil!' it's like she's in love with him George." Lenny replied, as he kept his eyes pinned on George, waving his arms about in envy as he explained the sayings, before finally going back to his scrunched position, minus the fur tearing.

George only kept looking at Lenny with confusion. "But what's that got to do with you?" George asked, confused to what he actually meant.

Lenny sighed. "It's just that..." Lenny paused for a moment before looking round the loft wearily and then turned back to George. "I like Angie George, a lot and when Gizmo's in the picture it just makes me feel so... angry!" Lenny then balled both of his fists together. "It makes me so jealous and, it's haunting me George, its haunting me like hell, like after 2 days, BAM! She likes him! It wasn't like that with me though." Lenny then looked straight at George, his eyes sparkling in sadness. "I love her George, more than anyone or anything and, with Gizmo there I feel like she's pushing me away. What should I do George, I feel so lost. I just don't know what to do anymore..."

George smiled as he climbed up on the box next to his best friend and wrapped his arm round him comfortingly. "Oh Lenny, don't be like that, you can't give up cause of that stupid, no good Mogwai!"

Lenny looked up at George in shock, eyes widening. "What?" He cried.

"No! You're not giving up Lenny, if you like Angela you're going to have her! And no Gizmo is going to stop that! You need to show her that you love her Lenny, let all your energy out." George exclaimed, his free hand balling into a fist as he slammed it hard into the cardboard. "Cause, I KNOW that she likes you for sure!"

Lenny smiled. "Really?"

George nodded. "Yeah, didn't you see the way she was with you earlier, couldn't get enough of you Lenny and you should ask her to the dance, y'know."

Lenny widened his eyes as he slowly faced the wall ahead of him. "Really?" He asked.

George let go of Lenny and crossed his arms. "Lenny, she was practically begging you earlier to ask her, I could see it in her eyes, she loves you Len. Now why don't you stop being so nervous and go ask her already!" laying his arm nearest to Lenny out, he instantly pushed Lenny off the box, causing him to stumble on his feet.

Once he got his balance back, Lenny turned round and stared up at George defiantly. "Alright! I will!" Lenny proclaimed and with a spin in his step and his head held high, Lenny walked away, determined to find Angela and to ask her to the dance. "I just hope she'll say yes..." Lenny thought, as he walked onwards to the trap door, he knew that she'd be there... waiting... waiting for him.

Stripe frowned as he crossed his arms impatiently at the Female Mogwai, whatever she wanted to see him about he just wanted to get it over with besides, Stripe felt as if he needed some space today. "Alright Angela, make this quick! What is it that you want to speak to me about, ay? If it's about this prom then you can go and-"

"No! It's not that... it's actually... about Gizmo." Angela replied, her tone going lower at Gizmo's name.

Stripe widened his eyes at her, he was now interested. "Go on."

Angela sighed. "It's just that... when me and Gizmo were at the beach yesterday... I interrogated him about what happened between you and him years ago and..."

Stripe kneeled down to her, keeping his eyes and ears alert at all times. "What happened?" The Gremlin leader asked, curious to where this was leading to.

"He broke down in tears right in front of me and when I said that like, you know that you told me that Gizmo put you up to the destruction of Kingston Falls... I said that like, someone must have put you up to it but..." Angela then paused as she stared on at Stripe, his blood red eyes widening in fascination at her story. "He shouted at me saying that you were a: 'Bad Gremlin.' And that it was: 'No lie.' He also went on about how you tried to kill him and his friends plus, he says that... he has nightmares of you coming back for him, trying to kill him... he just seemed so innocent Stripe, I..."

Stripe looked down at the floor, smirking for a moment as he thought: "Gizmo's having nightmares huh? That's what I want; it's perfect... if he's proper breaking down at his nightmares just wait till he sees me for real! He'll have a right heart attack, probably even pass out! HA! But Angela... it sounds like she's on to me now... curse Gizmo's wimpyness! I'm gonna have to make up an excuse now, and I know just the thing!"

"Stripe! Are you even listening to me?" Angela yelled, as she stared on at Stripe, she saw that he was hanging his head down and it looked like he was deep in thought about something... "I wonder what he's thinking about... something definitely isn't right here..." Angela thought, as she looked on at the Gremlin leader, waiting for him to back up his case.

Stripe slowly looked up at her, his face twisting in anger at her. "I can't believe you Angie! Letting Gizmo trick you like that! I thought that you were better than this!" Stripe yelled, his luminous red eyes glowing through the dim-lighted loft at her.

Angela jumped in surprise as she put her hands on her chest where her heart was as if it was going to leap out of her fur any second now. "But Stripe he seemed so convincing I-

Stripe immediately stood up at his full stance, Gremlin claws on his hips, legs straight outwards, eyes glowing like disco lights at a party and his pearl white yet greasy streak of hair, sticking up like spikes which made the Gremlin leader seem even more frightening than before. "He's trying to trick you Angie, can't you see that?" Stripe shouted, as he bent back down, Gremlin claws now holding his knees as Stripe leaned closer to Angela, pressing his angry face against her scared one.

Angela gulped, trying to contain her escaping terror. "But Stripe, he was really crying, his eyes were proper blood-shot and-

Stripe growled at her. "I don't care! Gizmo can go to hell for all I care! He wants to look innocent but he's not, he's the devil Angie and that's NO LIE!" Stripe shouted.

Angela, for the first time ever, started to back away, she never knew that Stripe could be so... threatening. "But Stripe, I...

Stripe only turned his back on Angela, not facing her. "You know what? I DON'T BLOODY CARE ANYMORE! You can do what you want with Gizmo for now, Play with him, kiss him, throw him down the drain, I DON'T CARE! BUT IF HE MENTIONS ONE THING ABOUT ME WRECKING HIS LIFE, YOU DON'T BEILIEVE HIM, UNDERSTAND? HUH? ANGELA?" Stripe screamed, which practically made Angela's heart leap.

Angela only nodded shakily. "Y-Yes Stripe."

Stripe only growled once again as he walked round Angela before stopping behind her, Stripe was actually enjoying this acting lark, he figured that he should do it more often cause with his talent it came in handy for later life after killing Gizmo. On the outside, he was feeling so angry because his so called 'abuser' was getting the upper hand but on the inside, a smirk was within, waiting to take over the Gremlin's face. "You better go Angie because you got a mission to do and remember what I said, don't listen to anything Gizmo says to you about me cause you know, he'd lie to anyone." Stripe said, as he stared down at Angela who only kept her back to him, unmoving and not saying a word to his existence. The Gremlin leader only shrugged as he turned his back on her. "See you tonight." He said flatly, before walking off into the loft.

"Bye..." Angela muttered softly, as she looked down at the floor, unmoving, not even bothering to look back at Stripe, it didn't matter now; he was now far out of her reach anyway.

Sighing to herself, Angela leaned down to the padlock which was locked on the inside of the loft and slotted out her extra long Mogwai claws on her right hand, whilst holding the padlock with the left hand and using her claw like a key once again, she twisted it round to the right which made it instantly click straight open. As soon as Angela finished twisting the padlock, she removed it from its place and went round to the other side of the trap door in order to open it up; she did so by grabbing a small handle and throwing it straight open, a bang instantly emitted as the door landed face first into the wooden floor. Angela only sighed to herself as she looked down into the Peltzer household, ready to jump downwards.

"ANGELA! WAIT!"

Angela immediately raised her head up to see Lenny on the opposite side of the trap door, panting hard as he held his knees with his hands, his maroon eyes sparkling up at her. Angela immediately ran to him. "Lenny? Are you ok? What's the matter?" Angela cried, as she hugged Lenny once again against her.

Lenny only panted some more as he hugged her, trying to get his breath back before gently pulling her off him, smiling straight at Angela whilst holding her shoulders.

Angela's face was still lit up by his entrance as she asked: "Lenny? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

Lenny kept smiling as he slowly let go of her shoulders and took a step back from her, not saying a word as he kept his cool. Angela widened her eyes in confusion, stunned and curious about Lenny's actions.

"Lenny... you're starting to scare me..." Angela stated, as she stared on at her best friend.

The next thing Angela knew, Lenny slowly got down on one knee before reaching out one of his arms towards her, a gesture for her hand. Angela, though she was confused, instantly took it.

"You're not going to propose, are you Lenny?" Angela joked, as she stared on at Lenny who only chuckled at her response.

"Nah, something even better that that!" Lenny replied, as he gazed up into Angela's milk brown eyes. He then let out a sigh as he looked straight at her and asked: "Angela, would you make me the happiest Mogwai in the world and go to the Gremlins dance with me?"

Angela was now speechless, she didn't know what to say but one thing was for sure, she longed for the day that Lenny would make a romantic gesture and now, here he was on one knee, asking her to dance with him, just like her fantasy. Immediately, Angela lunged at Lenny, which immediately made the two Mogwai fall to the ground, and as Angela was on top of Lenny, she immediately planted a soft kiss on his lips, which only made Lenny blush bright red.

Angela smiled down at him as she replied: "Oh Lenny, of course I'll go with you... thanks."

Lenny only smiled back, the blush still on his cheeks. "Anything for you Angie."

The two Mogwai then rose from the ground as Angela then headed for the open trap door, and looked back at Lenny one last time. "I gotta go Lenny, I'll see you tonight, k?" And with those last words and a wink to Lenny, Angela jumped down into the Peltzer House, carrying on with her mission.

As Angela left, Lenny felt a bubbly smile come across his face as he slowly got up. "I can't believe it... she said yes!" Lenny cheered, as he quickly walked away from the trap door, eager to tell George his big news and all his thoughts on no-one but Angela.

But little did the two Mogwai know that someone was watching them, someone who disapproved of their relationship greatly. "So Lenny and Angela are going to the dance together, huh? Unfortunately, as much as I'm fond of Lenny, I can't let that happen!" The figure stepped out into the light, revealing no other than Stripe himself, grinning with all his glory. "If I'm going to train Lenny to be just like me then I definitely won't need Angela in the way of my goals, I'm going to have to break their friendship... somehow." Stripe then stomped to the trap door, slammed it back over and walked into the darkness, a plan taking shape in his evil mind.

Angela rushed about from room to room, trying to find Gizmo, she checked nearly everywhere on the upstairs floor because usually, Gizmo be's in one of the rooms waiting for her but it didn't seem that he was upstairs. Walking out of the bathroom, Angela looked ahead of her before yelling: "GIZMO! WHERE ARE YOU?"

"I'm down here!"

Angela ran to the stairs to see Gizmo himself, sitting on the bottom step, looking up at her with an open tin of spaghetti hoops in his hands, a small, silver spoon slowly sinking into the tomato orange quick sand as the warm, white smoke radiated through the air, out of its aluminium prison. "Oh Gizmo, I didn't see you there." Angela said, as she made her way down to Gizmo, who had just spooned out a mouthful of spaghetti hoops before slowly putting it in his cute, button mouth, its tomato scent, radiating up Angela's nose.

"Oh, I've been here for a while." Gizmo laughed, as he spooned out yet another mouthful of hoops to his mouth.

Angela looked around for a moment. "Where's Billy and Kate?" She asked.

"They've gone out shopping." Gizmo replied. "I don't like shopping, it's so boring, makes you feel like dying on edge, so I stayed here besides, I have the TV all to myself now, I got a bit bored though so I just... sat here." The Angelic Mogwai then spooned out another spoonful of spaghetti hoops and offered it to Angela. "Want some?"

Angela smiled. "Sure. I am kind of hungry anyway." She replied, as she took the spoon from Gizmo and slowly put it in her mouth, Angela could feel her tongue tingle in happiness as its tomato and pasta taste flowed down her throat like a waterfall to a river. "Nice." Angela commented, as she stuck her spoon back in its place.

Gizmo only nodded. "Glad you liked it."

Angela sighed as she sat next to Gizmo on the bottom step, tonight was the BIG Gremlins Dance, it was also the night where Angela was going to let it all out to Lenny about how she felt, her talents, everything. And she wanted it to be nothing but perfection. The problem was, though, Angela was too nervous to let it out, especially her dancing as she had never done it in front of anybody or even on her own before, she preferred to do it with others but for Lenny, she would do some of it herself, to show him her true talents and feelings about him. But, to do that, she needed help, help to just let it all go and she knew just where to get it. She then turned towards Gizmo, who had now just finished his spaghetti hoops. "Um, Gizmo?"

Gizmo looked up at her. "Yeah Angela?"

"Well, I need your help with something, you see, I'm going to a dance with someone and I want everything to be perfect since I want to show them my talent of dancing but... I don't know how to... you know, let it out and I figured that, since your my friend and all, maybe you could help me." Angela explained, as she stared on at Gizmo, hoping that he would provide something of use.

Gizmo only smiled at her in happiness. "That's cute Angela but, who's the guy you're going with, eh?"

Angela giggled. "He's a close friend of mine Gizmo; he's everything to me, y'know." She whispered softly.

Gizmo's dark chocolate eyes widened at her. "That's sweet." He then paused as he jumped off the step. "I have just the thing to help you, follow me." Gizmo then dashed down to the kitchen, his tin of spaghetti hoops still in hand.

Angela slowly stepped off the bottom step before walking down to Gizmo, who had just finished putting his tin of Spaghetti in the bin before dashing into the living room, Angela quickly following. When they got there, Gizmo climbed up to the coffee table where a radio sat, he then looked at the wire, luckily for them it was already plugged in. Gizmo then smiled to himself as he pressed the on button and immediately, music started to play, Gizmo gasped as he clicked his fingers and started humming, he liked this song.

Authors Note: This song that's on the radio above can be any song that you want it to be.

Angela smiled as Gizmo started to dance, his clicks and steps in tact with the beat as he hummed to the song like a choir of angels. "You like that song?" Angela asked, as she smiled at how happy he was.

Gizmo nodded. "Yep, A lot. Come and join me Angie!" Gizmo then held out his hand towards her, beckoning her to come to him.

Angela gulped and immediately backed away, her nerves coming back to her. "Gizmo... I can't... I'm too scared." Angela yelled in panic, as she gripped the fur on her opposite arms with the opposite hands.

"Don't worry Angela, it's just me and you now, just relax and let it all out." Gizmo comforted, as he held his hand out back to her, hoping that she'd change her mind and join him.

Angela sighed as she felt her shoulders tense down and walked towards Gizmo, grabbing his hand as he pulled her up to the coffee table, the music still playing in the air, echoing off the walls like bouncy balls, the beat exploding in their Mogwai ears like fireworks, the chorus was now coming into play and Angela let out a deep breath, she was now going to do it, she was going to dance.

"Alright Angie, just do what I do." Gizmo advised, as he moved his arms round to the song that was playing, strutting his moves as he looked at Angela. "You ready?"

Angela hesitantly nodded. "Yep, I'm ready I guess."

Gizmo smiled at her as he stopped for a moment, listening to the song as he waited for the perfect moment to dance, he then saw it coming as he stood still, ready to dance. "Ok Angie, 3... 2... 1!" Gizmo then started dancing again as he looked at Angela, who was hesitantly copying his actions, as they both danced on, the beat ringing in their ears as they went.

Angela gasped at herself as she copied Gizmo's actions; his plan was actually working as Angela felt freer as she went, moving her arms and legs to the beat exactly like Gizmo, there steps both intact with each other. Angela looked over at Gizmo, who was also enjoying himself as they both spun round and moon walked back to their original position. "Oh Gizmo, this is so much fun, I actually feel more... relaxed now... thankyou..." Angela cheered, as she danced onwards.

Gizmo smiled as he twirled round before saying: "Anything for a friend."

"Thankyou..." Angela whispered, Angela then looked at the floor and smirked, she felt it coming on now, her talents, she was finally prepared to let it out. "WAHOO!" Angela screamed, as she started to break dance on the coffee table.

Gizmo almost fell off the table as he jumped in surprise at Angela's sudden break dance; his dark brown eyes looked like they were going to come out of their sockets as he kept his eyes on her. "I never knew that Mogwai could break dance..." Gizmo thought, as he carried on watching Angela.

Angela then finished her dance and looked up at a shocked Gizmo. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Angela joked, as she giggled on at Gizmo, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

Gizmo said nothing; all he could do now... was stare.

"You should have seen her George, she was really happy!" Lenny exclaimed, as he recounted all of the details to his best friend.

George smiled at his friend, whilst patting him tenderly on his back. "Well done Lenny, I'm proud of you... y'know... I didn't even think you could do it."

Lenny triumphantly smirked at George as he crossed his arms. "HA! I proved you wrong then!" Lenny countered snootily, before sticking out his tongue towards George.

George lightly pushed his face to the side. "Alright Lenny, you made your point." He said, as he crossed his arms himself. "So, you and Angela are going to the prom?"

Lenny nodded. "Yep, tonight." He replied.

George only nodded, as both he and Lenny stared at the wall ahead of them.

"GEORGE! LENNY!"

George and Lenny both turned to the direction of the voice and saw Stripe coming towards them, a ginormus grin plastered across his face as he strolled towards them, his eyes full of evil as the joyful, crystal, glints made its disguise.

"Oh, hey Stripe." George said casually, as he leaned back into the wall sloppily, his bright blue eyes scanning the floorboards.

"Hi Stripe." Lenny said shyly, due to the fact that he was still purely afraid of the Gremlin leader.

Stripe only grinned down at Lenny, keeping his cold blooded eyes pinned on the somewhat dumb Mogwai as he pulled out a pint of Lager, passing it down to Lenny in his direction. "Here's a drink for you Len." Stripe offered, as he passed Lenny the glass of beer.

Lenny widened his eyes at the glass, it was almost bigger than him, due to him being a Mogwai of course. Taking the glass with both hands out of Stripe's claw, Lenny slowly put the glass of beer in his lap, he was absolutely speechless... Stripe giving him beer? What the hell happened there?

Lenny looked up at the Gremlin Leader, who was peering down at him and the glass of beer, that toothy grin still on Stripe's face. Lenny gulped as he tried to find the right words to say. "Stripe... you didn't have to give me this beer, I-

Stripe sat down against the wall near them and cut Lenny off. "Ah, no need to thank me Len now, come here and sit next to ol' Stripey." Stripe then patted the wooden floor next to him, gesturing Lenny to come sit next to him. The Mogwai hesitantly did, shivering a little as he went, his buck teeth gripping his skin out of fear. Stripe immediately pulled out his glass of lager, which was exactly the same as Lenny's and held it out to the Mogwai. "Cheers Lenny!" Stripe declared, as he held down his glass of lager towards the Mogwai.

Lenny gave Stripe a look that clearly said: 'What the hell?' but he went along with it as he pushed his lager to Stripe's. "Cheers Stripe." Lenny replied, as he turned his head to George, who was looking down at him and Stripe in disbelief, eyes widened, his expression clearly asking: 'How?' Lenny could only shrug his shoulders at George, which told him that Lenny was just as confused as he was.

Stripe lifted the pint of lager to his mouth as he drank it, chugging all the alcohol down in one go before getting the glass and slamming it down on the floor hard, the glass breaking on its impact. Lenny felt himself jump as he watched Stripe slam his glass down on the floor, now THAT made Lenny even more scared of Stripe, his small heart pounding in alarm. Lenny stared at the glass that Stripe just broke and started breathing heavily, the shivers and adrenaline radiating through his small, Mogwai body, George also spotted this and looked straight at Stripe, ready to say something if the Gremlin took a swing at Lenny but Stripe just sat there innocently, turning his head in all directions of the loft before finally looking back down at Lenny and grinned devilishly at the Mogwai before swinging his arm round his neck, pulling him closer to his leg. Lenny almost jumped out of his skin, as he pulled himself up Stripe's arm, trying not to get himself strangled as he struggled violently, trying to get a gasp of air out of him.

"How are you doing Len?" Stripe asked, as he grinned down at Lenny, like nothing had happened just then.

Lenny coughed as he finally managed to get into a comfortable position with Stripe's arm round him; he looked up at Stripe, giving him a frustrated look. "I'm fine..." Lenny muttered, as he looked up at the Gremlin.

Stripe smirked. "Good." The Gremlin whispered, as he stroked Lenny's soft fur. "Lenny, I was wondering if you could do me a favour of some sorts."

Lenny sighed at the white streaked Gremlin, his maroon eyes widening. "What is it Stripe?" He questioned.

Stripe frowned and gritted his teeth at the question as he remembered the answer. "Well, Angela is now on to me due to Gizmo being... SO GOSH DARN WIMPY and spilling his terror out, I want you to go down there to check on Angela, to see if she's eh, poisoned by the truth." Stripe explained angrily, one of his hands already balling into a fist at the thought of Gizmo.

Lenny's jaw dropped. "NO! Angela can't know the truth about me, about Stripe, she can't! Not when we're getting proper close together, maybe even more than friends! She can't, I'll lose her forever if she finds out!" the Buck-toothed Mogwai thought frantically, as he stood up out of Stripe's arm, he then took a few steps forward, sipped his alcohol for a minute and turned to Stripe. "I'll check for you Stripe, you have my word." Lenny declared bravely, as he looked into Stripe's evil blood red eyes and with those last words, he left for the trap door.

Stripe smirked as he watched Lenny go, he then reached for what used to be Lenny's alcohol glass and started swigging the alcohol down his throat, George widened his eyes at Stripe as he drank the alcohol and once again slammed the glass on the floor, breaking it once again into many more pieces, just like a Mogwai multiplying of water. The Gremlin leader then slowly turned to George, his head twisting round like a robot, his eyes showing nothing but evil in them. "You know George, you're really lucky to have Lenny as a friend." Stripe commented, as he grinned devilishly at the Mogwai.

George raised his eyebrows. "Yeah... because Lenny's a good person, he's decent and he never gives up on anyone." George explained firmly, as he stared on at the Gremlin, looking him straight in the eyes as he crossed his furry arms in confusion.

Stripe kept his grin on, but his evil red eyes seemed to go wilder as he exclaimed: "GOOD? He's better than good George, he's perfect, a diamond, my diamond and I'm guessing that he's your diamond too." Stripe then let out a demented cackle, making George widen his eyes in shock as he stood rooted to the spot, listening to Stripe's demented drones. "But that's what I like about Lenny, a soft, cute little buck-toothed Mogwai on the outside but, on the inside, a Gremlin as tough as nails surely waiting to come out." Stripe then slowly stood up, his head spinning slightly due to drinking too much, so the Gremlin couldn't really walk straight as he turned to George and pointed a scaly finger in his direction, wobbling drunkenly in the process as his body swayed from left to right in a drunken daze. "But... too bad that he soon won't be needing you George, he'll be having better friends, much better friends, because I see potential in Lenny, I see a lot of it but, I just can't seem to grasp it out of him but, it'll soon rip out of him like a bloody lightning rang before you can even blink, so you better watch your step George because soon, he won't be needing any friends. Have a nice bloody day!"

Stripe then slowly turned to leave, his drunken daze still upon him as he left George standing there in confusion. "Stripe! Wait! What the hell do you mean?" The Mogwai yelled, but it was no use as Stripe stumbled off, pushing through his Gremlin henchman and disappeared from George's sight, leaving the Mogwai alone in complete and utter disbelief.

Angela panted heavily as yet another song ended; she then turned to Gizmo, who looked like he could dance forever as he jogged on the spot, waiting for the next song to play. "Gizmo, I'm pooped, really, I'll just watch you dance now." Angela breathed out, as she looked at the ground, panting heavily still. Gizmo walked over to her and wrapped his arm round her back as she looked up at him. "Please Angie! Join me for one more song! Please! You're a GREAT dancer!" Gizmo begged, his big, cute, dark brown eyes glaring sadly at the Female Mogwai, hoping that she'd join him one more time.

Angela panted a little as she looked at Gizmo's big, cute eyes. "One more song?" She panted some more. "You promise?"

Gizmo let go of her as he clasped his hands together. "Yes Angie, only one more, please?" Gizmo's eyes then went out even wider, making him look as cute as ever, a small frown also taking shape on his delicate, small mouth. "Please Angie." Gizmo begged, whilst doing one of the cutest faces that you could think of.

Angela sighed as she looked at Gizmo, trying not to say the typical 'Awww...' as she looked on at the Mogwai, his cute eyes pulling her straight into his trap, Angela smiled at Gizmo before turning away for a few seconds and looking back at him, she couldn't even say no to that face. "Alright Gizmo, I'll join you."

Gizmo then immediately hugged her. "Thanks Angie."

Angela jumped in surprise as she slowly hugged him back, a sense of happiness tingling through her as she did. Gizmo also smiled as he hugged Angela close to him, he had never felt this happy before in a LONG time, he hummed to himself as he closed his eyes and nuzzled against Angela. The Female Mogwai shivered as Gizmo nuzzled her, her eyes widening in alarm. "No! I can't carry this on! I'm already in love with Lenny! Snap out of it Angie! JUST SNAP OUT OF IT! HE'S A BAD MOGWAI!" Angela thought mentally, as she pulled away from Gizmo, who looked somewhat surprised as she did. "Ain't you supposed to be switching the station Gizmo?" Angela questioned, as she tried not to look Gizmo straight in the eyes.

Gizmo immediately let go of her and blushed instantly. "Oh, sorry, er..." Gizmo then hesitated before running over to the radio, trying to hide his blush in the process, as he pressed a button which immediately changed the station, music instantly emitted as Gizmo squealed in delight at the song, and started clicking his fingers again.

Angela widened her eyes at the dancing Mogwai. "You know that song?" She questioned.

Gizmo nodded, as he twirled round. "It's my favourite!" Gizmo danced for a bit, all steps and clicks intact with the beat. "I heard it in the Clamp Centre Building once and I took to it like a magnet." The Mogwai explained, as he kept on dancing.

Authors Note 2: the song here is the song from Gremlins 2, where Gizmo dances in front of the genetics people, if you want to know what the song is called its: I'm Ready By Fats Domino. ^^

Gizmo spun around once again before extending his arm out to Angela, beckoning her to dance with him. "May I have this dance?" Gizmo cooed, as he stared on at Angela, still giving her his cute look.

Angela stood there speechless, at this point, she didn't even know what to do anymore, she then looked up at Gizmo, his cuteness pushing her towards him as she took his hand. "Yes, you may." She replied quietly, as Gizmo then took her waist. "It's not like Stripe will find out besides, it will prepare me for what I'm going to do with Lenny tonight." Angela thought, as she then took Gizmo's shoulder.

The two Mogwai then held there free hands together as Gizmo then gave Angela a cheeky smile before turning his head to look straight ahead of him, and with a spring his step, Gizmo took off, his feet paddling across the coffee table as he and Angela waltzed across it, trying to keep up with the fast beat of the song. And within a flash, the two Mogwai waltzed back the way they came, keeping their eyes ahead of them. Gizmo then let go of Angela and immediately started to twirl her round like a tornado, not wasting his time as he swung her out in front of him, letting her twirl her way into his arms before letting her unwind out of them. He then grabbed Angela's waist once again as they both waltzed across the table again, keeping intact with the beat. "Having fun Angie?"Gizmo questioned, as he waltzed back with her to the radio.

Angela smiled at him. "Yeah, I am, in fact it's the most fun that I've had in years." She exclaimed.

Gizmo grinned as he let go of her waist and got her into the twirling inwards position. "Yeah, me too." He whispered.

Angela kept her smile as she twirled into his arms.

Lenny nervously looked round him as he jumped down from the loft, looking round wearily as he went, getting seen was the last thing he wanted right now. The buck-toothed Mogwai headed for the stairs and slowly stepped down them, being careful not to make the slightest noise and trying not to fall forward on his head as he went. When he got to the bottom, the Mogwai looked round, taking in the surroundings around him as he walked forward to the nearest door and opened it which was the closet, Lenny then shrugged as he closed it and started to walk forward.

"Oh Gizmo! DON'T! I'm ticklish!"

Lenny almost leapt out of his skin at the noise, he knew that voice well. "Angela!" Lenny thought, as he dashed forward to the living room, following the music as he went, he went just behind the door and slowly peeped in, careful not to be seen as he looked on at the scene before him. There was Gizmo, dancing his life out with Angela, twirling her round in circles, lifting her up and even tickling her for fun as they danced on with each other, seeming to compete with one another as they went, Gizmo's eyes full of cheekiness whilst Angela was full of life and vigor. Lenny growled as he watched them, Angela never done anything like that with him before and that was what made him jealous, how Gizmo was already in depth with her, how Gizmo got to her just like that with his 'Cute looks' and his: 'Heroic Deeds'. Lenny felt a churn in his stomach as he looked down at the floor heartbroken; it was like his body was breaking right there like a spell to the mind.

"Whoa Gizmo! Watch that you don't drop me!" Angela yelled, as Gizmo lowered her down in front of him, his arm round her waist as she went, clinging to his neck for support.

"I'm trying not to; I'm just doing what comes to me." Gizmo said cheerily, as he looked straight into Angela's big, brownie eyes.

Lenny clenched his teeth as he watched Gizmo lower Angela down, he looked straight at them, trying not to cry as he closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were coming, he couldn't believe it, after all they had been through together, Angela had chosen Gizmo over him and he couldn't take it, not now, not ever, his heart was forever broken. He rubbed his eyes, cleaning out all the tears that were rushing at him like cannon balls, he wiped them on one his arms and snorted, his nose felt like it was going to run any second now. He then looked back at Angela, who looked like she'd seen him judging by her wide eyes and sudden gasp, he heard her call out to him but Lenny didn't look back. Instead, he turned round and ran for it, back up the stairs, going as fast as he could, not stopping for anything or anyone as he climbed back into the loft and slammed the trap door over, not caring how hard he slammed it, just along as he was away from those two below him, that was all he wanted. Right now, all Lenny wanted to do, was be alone and let all his emotions out because now... he was purely, utterly... heartbroken.

Angela gasped when she saw her crush watching them. "LENNY!" Angela screamed, as she tried to break out of Gizmo's grip. But it was already too late as Lenny just suddenly vanished right in front of her eyes. Gizmo let go of Angela and she dashed for the door, peeping round it in alarm, searching for her long-time friend as she walked out, dashing everywhere on the downstairs floor. Gizmo watched her in confusion, eyes widening at Angela as she slammed the closet door back over again and started to take deep breaths to herself, as she looked up at the ceiling, trying to figure out if that was really Lenny, Angela figured that she might of just been seeing things but to her... he just looked so real especially with his cerulean tears spilling from his eyes and the snot escaping from his nostrils, he couldn't be a vision, could he?

Gizmo frowned at Angela; he didn't like seeing her this way as he cared about her deeply, more than he did anyone else. "Angela, are you ok? Is something wrong?" Gizmo asked, as he stared on at her.

Angela slowly turned back at him and sighed. "It's nothing Gizmo, I just... thought I saw someone, I was probably just seeing things." Angela comforted, but she just couldn't help but have second thoughts.

9 hours later...

The Peltzer loft radiated with energy as music boomed throughout the loft loudly, setting off a party vibe to it as many Gremlins were already on the dance floor, dancing their hearts out to the funky beats, manic grins on their scaly faces as they did but not without getting up to their usual mischief tactics of course. Many things were also flung from pillar to post such as bottles of strong tasting beer, delicate wines and bowls of food such as prawn crackers and sweet and sour popcorn which some Gremlins would use to fling at their enemies. Radiations of beer, popcorn, sweat, blood and dust flowed through the air, stinking up the loft to an extent, but it wasn't like anyone cared anyway. The disco lights pulled faces at the mayhem below them as they changed their emotions repeatedly on how the felt, from a cheerful sunshine yellow to a dangerous, fiery red and then to a royal, pampering purple. The music suddenly changed, which made the Gremlins below cackle in glee as they danced round, moving their heads and body's to the beat rather mischievously and at the top of the loft, on the karaoke, singing his heart out was no other than the Brain Gremlin himself, who was practically singing (It can be any song you want.) loud over all the laughter and the glass breaking but yet, Brain still had the talent, no matter what the conditions were, as he carried on, his eyes full of excitement as he sang, not missing a note as he let it all out, having a great time mind you though, in a civilised manner, memorising the lyrics in his head, his top hat, scruffy look and mysterious cloak still intact as he grinned down at the dancing Gremlins below him, having the time of his life on the microphone, his Gremlin band behind him one Gremlin playing an electric guitar while the other was playing the drums. But basically, the Gremlins were having the time of their life, getting up to their usual tricks of the trade.

The same however, could not be said for the Gremlin leader, Stripe, who had only just woken up from his drunken faint. "UH! Jesus Christ!" Stripe moaned, as he sat up from the blanket that he was wrapped up in, Stripe rubbed his eyes tiredly before looking behind him, there was also a fluffy pillow with him too and he didn't even remember getting a fluffy pillow, a blanket and falling asleep, all Stripe could remember was talking to George and Lenny and then a few hours later falling straight on his face in some sort of daze, Greta screaming his name as he fainted, but that was all the Gremlin leader could remember. "HOW THE BLOODY HELL DID I END UP OVER HERE!" Stripe shouted, frustrated that he couldn't remember anything that happened earlier.

One of the Gremlins, who was actually at the cards table nearest to him, turned round and grinned down at Stripe, showing off his devilish teeth. "Well you're scariness; I see that you're awake." The Gremlin said, as he grinned at his leader.

Stripe slowly stood up and growled at the Gremlin's stupidity. "Of course I'm awake Ray, why else would I be moving around, huh?"

Another Gremlin, who was at the table decided to make a comment. "Unless you were sleep-

The Gremlin was then cut off, as Stripe gave him a death glare. Not wanting the Gremlin leader to kill him, the Gremlin just shivered: "Not that you will sleep walk, my lord."

Stripe sat down next to the Gremlin called 'Ray.' and asked: "How the hell did I end up over there? I can't remember what happened cause right now my belly's churning still and my head's going round and round."

Ray only smirked as he reached for his glass of beer. "You were drunk, your evilness." Ray replied, before chugging the beer down his throat.

Stripe widened his eyes at Ray in shock. "DRUNK!" He shrieked, as he stretched his arms out towards Ray, ready to randomly strangle the Gremlin if he felt it was needed.

The other Gremlin nodded. "Yeah. You were just stumbling round in some sort of daze and you looked kinda pale, the next thing we knew, you fell flat on your face, we tried to stir you but you were passed out, Greta was screaming your name like God knows what..." The Gremlin paused as he rubbed his head sheepishly. "So out of pure Love, Greta set up the pillow and blanket for you until you awoke. She even carried you over there, she did, wouldn't leave you for a second until she decided that she had to have some space."

Stripe felt his ears bend down as he took the information in. "Thanks for the info Trevor, how long was I out?" Stripe questioned.

Trevor grinned. "About 3 hours."

The Gremlin leader gasped. "WHAT!" Stripe then sighed. "Bloody hell..." He muttered, as he rubbed his head.

Ray puffed on a cigarette as he turned to Stripe, a toothy grin still on his face. "So your gnarlyness, you playing black jack with us tonight?"

But the Gremlin leader ignored the question as something else took his eye or should I say... someone, right in front of Stripe, on the opposite side of the room was Greta however, she wasn't full of cheer like she used to be. Instead, she just sat against the wall, completely demoralised to everything around her, her head down like a headless zombie, her slender Gremlin legs up against her like needles to the skin, she practically looked like the walking dead. Stripe smirked to himself as he stood up out of his chair and walked straight over to her, leaving the Gremlins known as 'Ray.' And 'Trevor.' Sitting there completely baffled.

While he was gone, Trevor leaned over at Ray and said: "I can't believe Master Stripe actually likes her."

Ray nodded in agreement. "I know, cause to me, she looks like a right pig!"

And with that said, the two Gremlins instantly burst out laughing.

Stripe strolled over to Greta and sat up against the wall next to her. "Hey." Stripe said, just to get her attention.

Greta immediately looked up and smiled, her eyes suddenly full of happiness. "STRIPEY!" She screamed, as she instantly hugged the Gremlin against her. "I'M SO GLAD THAT YOUR OK! I THOUGHT I LOST YOU AGAIN!" Greta shrieked, as tears splashed down her face at the joy that she was feeling.

Stripe couldn't breathe, due to being crushed by Greta's bear-hug. "Greta I- *Breathe.* wasn't gonna die- *Breathe.* I was just- *Breathe.* DRUNK! Can't- *Breathe* Breathe Greta- *Breathe.* Squeezing me- *Breathe.* Too tight-*Breathe.*" Stripe managed to say, before Greta finally let him go for which then Stripe gave out a big sigh to himself. "You want to be careful with those hugs Greta, cause one day you'll make me pass out, which I was close to doing just then." Stripe whined, as crossed his arms.

Greta only put her head against his body and nuzzled against his forest green Gremlin scales, closing her eyes as she stretched out to his muscular Gremlin body. "I'm sorry Stripey, I was just worried about you, I thought you were going to die..." Greta then paused as she looked up at Stripe, who had his arms relaxing against the wall behind his head. "I love you Stripe... you know."

Stripe looked down at her and smiled, releasing his arms from the wall and wrapping one around Greta's back and the other touching one of her green curls as he fiddled round with it, pulling Greta closer to his chest. "Oh Greta, it's ok babe, I know that you were just looking out for me." Stripe then looked straight ahead of him. "By the way, thanks for your hospitality Greta, you kind of saved me... thanks babe." The Gremlin leader then kissed her head, which made Greta blush immensely.

For a moment, they both just sat there, listening to the beating music around them and taking in their surroundings, Greta snuggling into Stripe's chest, looking like she was about go to sleep any second, and Stripe, smirking like the leader he was, he then looked down at his lover and grinned.

"Greta, we need to talk about something." Stripe said firmly, as he looked down at Greta.

Greta looked up at him. "About what happened earlier?"

Stripe nodded. "Yes."

Greta smiled. "Alright Stripey, say what you've got to say. I'm ready."

Lenny and Angela smiled as they watched the Gremlins on the dance floor boogie to the 'Macarena.' Brain leading the way of course, showing the Gremlins how it was done as he spun round, the disco lights instantly grinning at the Einstein Gremlin with a seductive hot pink coming his way. Lenny looked over at Angela, who was practically laughing as a Gremlin toppled into another, causing a domino rally and Brain was immediately shouting at them in annoyance, telling them how 'Uncivilised.' It was to fall during the Macarena.

Ever since his brief heartbreak, Lenny thought that he should give Angela another chance as she and Gizmo never got too passionate with each other whilst dancing, he never told her what he saw though so Angela just assumed that it was all good between them, she even asked him a few unsettling questions after she delivered the food to Brain to spread out which Lenny just managed to get through, he knew that she'd saw him, Angela just wasn't 100% though, Lenny was alright with Angela, at least, for now. If he heard one, just one, thing, about Gizmo... that was it.

"Hey Lenny, shall we go join in with the Cha-cha slide?" Angela paused, as she pointed to Brain and the Gremlins, who had just started dancing. "We could go on either sides of Brain." The Female Mogwai suggested.

Lenny just shook his head. "I don't really want to Angie; you can if you want to though."

Angela frowned at Lenny as she touched his forehead. "Are you sure you're alright Lenny, you're not coming down with a fever are you?" Angela asked.

Lenny instantly smacked her hand away. "I'm fine!" He growled.

Angela widened her eyes; she had never seen this side of Lenny before. "Alright... no need to be all angry on me." She snapped, before walking towards the dance floor and joining Brain's side.

Lenny sighed as he covered his eyes with one of his hands, he was going to have to keep his temper under control if he wanted a good night with Angela I mean, and he worked hard for it, right? And he couldn't let tonight go to waste so he just had to, forget about what he saw, keep his temper under control and focus on having a good night. "I mean, this may be my only opportunity to make Angie mine so... what have I got to lose?" Lenny thought, as he watched Brain and Angela lead the pack of dancing Gremlins through more steps of the cha-cha slide. With those words in mind, Lenny dashed to the dance floor and went to the free side of Brain, dancing to the Cha-cha slide as he went. Angela's face instantly lit up when she saw him.

"LENNY!" Angela cheered, as she danced whilst looking round at him. "What happened?"

Lenny grinned. "I changed my mind."

Angela just gave him a warm smile while Brain managed to kneel down to Lenny and hold out his hand before saying: "Good Choice lad, HI-FIVE!"

Lenny instantly hi-fived Brain before the three of them went back to leading the pack of Gremlins through the Cha-cha slide, the emotions of the disco lights, vibrantly changing.

After finishing the Cha-cha slide, Brain immediately dashed to the microphone and ordered all the Gremlins to clear out from the floor which they all immediately did... after having the speakers turned up to hurt their ears so badly, one even ended up passing out because of the sound which then, 2 Gremlins had to come along with nurse hats and a stretcher to carry the Gremlin away from the booming music.

Brain tapped his microphone to see if it was in sync and when he knew it was, he started his announcement. "Gremlins, tonight were having this party for a reason, of course it's the night of the Gremlins dance." He then swished his cloak round him, making himself look mysterious. "Hosted by yours truly."Brain then grinned as he pulled the top hat forward before shouting: "Gremlins, welcome to the Gremlins dance, your free to do what you want though and what not. First up, is... Lenny and Angela!"

Angela squealed loudly as she gripped Lenny's arm tightly. "IT'S US LENNY! WERE FIRST!" She screamed, as she dragged Lenny forward to the floor.

"Hey! Angie! Not so fast!" Lenny yelled, as he was dragged forward by an excited Angela as they pushed past about 3 or 4 Gremlins before finally making it to the floor.

Brain turned to the Gremlin controlling the music and said: "Cue the song!"

Instantly, the Gremlin pushed a button and a song blasted out from the radio (Once again, any song you want.) and Lenny instantly gulped as he took Angela's waist while she took his shoulder, Lenny then instantly started shivering, as soon as the song started, his legs wobbling like a plate of jelly and his heart pounding more than the speakers but he soon calmed down as Angela slowly nuzzled him, leaned to his ear and whispered: "We'll be fine, just dance and go with the flow." Lenny only nodded as he and Angela intertwined hands at the end and started to waltz across the floor, the two Mogwai keeping their eyes ahead of them, trying to keep up with the beats of the song as they went, Lenny then lifted Angela up round in a circle before dropping her gently and once again, and just like she did with Gizmo, Angela showed off one of her own moves on the dance floor which shocked Lenny, Brain and the Gremlins who were actually watching the dance, Lenny finally grabbed her hand and twirled her outwards, which then Angela twirled into his arms before going out again. Lenny and Angela then strutted a few moves on their own before going back to the waltz position and started to go round in a square again and they waltzed round, the booming music ringing their ears and the disco lights watching them both like a hawk as they stamped across, trying to keep up with the beat as they waltzed.

As they waltzed onwards, Lenny took the liberty to speak out. "Angie, why didn't you tell me about your dancing talent?" Lenny asked over the shouting music and the Gremlin mayhem.

Angela's milk brown eyes reverted upwards to Lenny as she waltzed along with him but, there waltz was slightly more... elegant than when she did it with Gizmo. "Because I was scared Lenny, I was scared of what you'd think..." Angela replied quietly, enough for Lenny to hear.

Lenny smiled down at her. "Well, you know your dancing talent; I think it's beautiful, just like you."

Angela immediately blushed immensely like a beetroot. "Why, thankyou Lenny."Angela whispered, as she snuggled her head down on his chest.

Lenny then swung Angela out in front of him. "I must say Angie; I'm having a great night, I just don't want it to end." Lenny said, as he watched Angela twirl into his arms.

Angela nuzzled him and sighed, her head sinking into his fluffy white belly, her milk brown eyes slowly closing. "Yep, and it's all thanks to Gizmo."

As soon as Lenny heard: 'Gizmo.' He instantly let go of Angela and looked her straight in the eyes, a frown growing on his face as he did, his maroon eyes full of anger. "What do ya mean 'thanks to Gizmo?' I was the one that asked you to the dance!" Lenny exclaimed, as his eyebrows narrowed.

Angela only smiled. "He helped me Lenny; he helped me prepare for the dance." She replied.

Lenny growled as he took one step towards Angela, practically towering over her, with clenched teeth and eyes full of pure hatred. "YEAH? BY WHAT? DRAGGING YOU ACROSS HIS COFFEE TABLE, YEAH! SOME PREPARING!" Lenny shrieked, as he glared down at down at the Female Mogwai.

Angela was so scared out of her wits that she fell back on to the floor, a scared look in her eyes as Lenny's giant, dismal shadow towered over her, making her seem puny to him. "What do you- Angela then knew what he meant as she cut herself off and realization was slowly sinking in. "You saw us, didn't you?"

Lenny nodded. "Yeah, I saw you alright and Gizmo, he had his dirty paws all over you, wouldn't leave you alone!" Lenny balled his hands into fists as he walked towards her, full of anger, his maroon eyes darkening as he marched forward, a glint of jealousy trapped in the ridge. "I can't believe you Angela! After what we've went through together, you choose that bloody traitor over me and if I didn't know anything, it looked like that you liked Gizmo and that, he liked you, a lot to be precise, ay, Angie?"

Angela slowly stood up, unmoving from Lenny's gaze as he gritted his teeth at her, growling just like a grizzly bear, part of her told her that this was coming and now she was going to have to fight her way out of Lenny's dog house. "Lenny, let me tell you this now, it wasn't what it looked like, me and Gizmo, we were having fun you know, like friends do, it was the most fun I had in years, I told him about the dance... he was happy for me."

Lenny just held his gaze at Angela, his eyes still full of rage, anger and jealousy. "SO WHAT? YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU'D DANCE WITH HIM? THE WAY HE WAS LEANING DOWN AT YOU, IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO KISS YOU, ANGELA, HE'S THE BLOODY ENEMY, HE NOT ONLY ABUSED STRIPE, BUT ME TOO AND IF ANY BONE IN YOUR BODY CARED, YOU WOULDN'T OF DANCED WITH THAT RAT!"

Angela hung her head down as she tried to fight the tears that was bubbling up like lava in a volcano but she just couldn't, she just had to let them erupt, holding them in was useless, she knew that to as she looked up at Lenny, her eyes blood-shot and stinging like hell whilst cerulean tears ran down her cream and white face. "I DO CARE LENNY, I CARE ABOUT YOU MORE THAN ANYONE BUT, GIZMO JUST SEEMS SO INNOCENT, I ASKED HIM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH STRIPE, HE BROKE DOWN SO BADLY THAT... IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, I'M NOT SAYING THAT HE IS BUT HE JUST SEEMS TOO INNOCENT AND CUTE TO BE LYING!"

Lenny crossed his arms as he kept his eyes on Angela. "SEE ANGELA? THERE YOU GO AGAIN, RAMBLING ON ABOUT GIZMO ALL THE BLOODY TIME, EVER SINCE YOU STARTED SPYING FOR STRIPE ALL YOU'VE EVER TALKED TO ME ABOUT IS THAT BLOODY MOGWAI, HE MAY LOOK CUTE ANGELA BUT HE'S NO ANGEL AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING? I'M JUST SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVEN'T BETRAYED US YET!"

Angela then gritted her teeth before slapping Lenny hard across his face, which instantly made Lenny turn round as he clutched where Angela had slapped him, tears were now escaping from his eyelids as he realised what they were coming to. For a minute, both the Mogwai were just frozen to the spot until Angela widened her eyes at Lenny, realising what she'd just done. "LENNY! OH GOD! I'M SO SORRY!" Angela shrieked, as she ran over to Lenny, who still had his back turned to her.

Slowly, Lenny turned round to look at her, one hand still clutching his cheek, tears rolling down his face like snowballs on a hill, his maroon eyes no longer full of anger, replacing it was a great sadness, the glint of jealousy however, was still encased in the buck-toothed Mogwai's eyes. "You know something Angie? I ain't backing you up no more, because I'm no longer your friend!" Lenny yelled.

And with those words said, Lenny instantly turned round and walked away from the dance floor, stomping off and pushing past many Gremlins, not caring where he was going, all he wanted now was to be as far from Angela as possible.

Angela went to dash after him. "NO! LENNY! PLEASE!" She screamed, as she dashed forward to the Gremlin pile that Lenny went past but she was instantly stopped when George grabbed her round her waist, trying to stop her from going any further and the Female Mogwai instantly spotted him. "GEORGE! LET GO OF ME!" Angela shrieked, as she tried to get out of George's grasp.

"Angela, just karm down, I saw everything and I'll talk to Lenny in the morning, for now, just leave him be." George demanded, as he turned round, dragging Angela in tow with him from the dance floor.

Angela just nodded, new tears still forming at the thought of Lenny. "Yeah, I guess your right George." Angela whispered, as she walked off with George.

As Brain watched the two Mogwai leave, he turned round to a Gremlin who was holding an electric guitar and asked: "Is that how proms are usually ran?"

The Gremlin gave him a weird look. "No." He replied.

Brain nodded. "Just checking, I need to know since I've never hosted one before."

"And he says that he's smart..." The Gremlin muttered, as he checked out the strings on his Electric guitar.

"So what I'm saying is, I'm sorry Greta, it's just that, Brain had me at my limits earlier and Gizmo's still bloody alive and then Brain's there with his wise-cracks and his hocus-pocus and saying that I'm un bloody civilised every ten flaming-

Greta immediately put a finger to the Gremlin Leader's lips, making him cut off his sentence. "Shhh... its ok Stripey." Greta cooed, as she felt his muscular chest with her claws. "You're just stressed is all, you just need to relax."

Stripe smirked. "Luckily though, your here to cleanse my anger, your beauty is all I need to calm down."

Greta could only smile at her lover as they both stood up from there seating positions, a smirk on Stripe's face while Greta had a ginormus smile across her lips and as Stripe pushed some of Greta's fringe to the side all they did was stare into each other's eyes until Stripe broke the gaze and he grabbed Greta's hands and held them in his.

"Greta, I have to ask you something." Stripe cooed, as he looked into her big, lilac eyes.

Greta's heart leapt as her smile got bigger. "What is it Stripey?" She asked, eager to know what her lover was about to ask her.

Stripe kept his smirk on. "Greta, will you go to the Gremlins Dance with me?"

Greta squealed happily as she immediately hugged Stripe in another one of her bear-hugs. "YES STRIPEY! OF COURSE I'LL GO WITH YOU!" Greta squealed, and as she hugged Stripe she gave him a great, big kiss on his cheek which made the Gremlin Leader grin even more seductively than before.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Stripe yelled, as he grabbed Greta in his arms bridal style.

Greta gave out a cheerful yelp as Stripe whisked her up from the ground. "OH STRIPEY! YOU BAD BOY!"

Stripe grinned down at her, his red eyes glowing with excitement. "What? I'm just escorting my lady to the dance floor!" Stripe's eyes then froze as he saw Lenny stomp past them, full of pure rage. "Hey Len! Are you alright? LENNY!" Stripe yelled. But Lenny didn't answer, he just kept moving, not even looking at them as he stomped to the darkest part of the loft.

Greta spotted her Lover's concern and looked up at him. "Don't worry about him Stripey; he'll be fine after a bit of space." Greta comforted, as Stripe kept his eyes locked on Lenny.

After the Mogwai was out of sight, Stripe looked back at Greta and nodded before walking through the Gremlin crowd until he was close enough to the dance floor before looking at Brain and yelling: "HEY BRAIN! PUT ON ANOTHER GOD DAMN SONG CAUSE ME AND GRETA ARE COMING ON THE DANCE FLOOR!"

Brain sighed as he walked over to the speakers and turned on the music. "Oh dear God!" The Einstein Gremlin muttered to himself. "I bet you viewers don't have to deal with uncivilised beings and if you do well, there nothing compared to Stripe and Greta I mean, ever since them two got together the whole loft has been on the blink of time itself, Gremlins having no manners, no order, it's unbelievable I'm telling you I mean, a fly could do a better job at ruling this loft than those two and sometimes... I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M SURROUNDED BY NO-ONE BUT BLOODY IDIOTS!" Brain then looked back at Stripe and Greta, who were practically dancing their hearts out, Stripe with a rose in his mouth throughout the dance. Brain let out a groggy sigh as he muttered: "So Uncivilised." For one last time before throwing the hat and cloak to the side, and walking off. "I've had enough of this! I'm going to bed!" Brain said to himself, as he walked off, trying to find the nearest blanket to sleep under for the night.

Stripe grinned happily as he danced on the floor with Greta as he twirled her round like a ballerina before letting her go outwards, keeping up with the beat of the music as he danced (One more time, any song.) The Gremlin leader felt on top of the world as he danced, his plan to break Lenny and Angela up worked out successful all he needed to do now, was convince Lenny to join his gang, up to the big leagues besides, Stripe figured that someone like Lenny was an excellent addition to his gang, especially as the buck-toothed Mogwai didn't look the part, he would talk to Lenny later, all he wanted to do now was dance with Greta and as he rested his head on Greta's shoulder for their slow dance, he closed his eyes and smiled, glad that things were going well for himself.

Lenny walked and walked until he couldn't walk anymore and as soon as he got to a corner of the loft, he instantly collapsed to the ground and let all his tears out, his nose snorting like a pig as snot trickled its way down his skin, Lenny instantly wiped his nose, clearing the snot out of his nose before crying some more and even wailing loudly, the buck-toothed Mogwai only wailed and wailed until his throat got dry which instantly made him cough for a moment or so before looking up ahead of him by doing this, Lenny saw that he was looking into a mirror, the buck-toothed Mogwai had looked in many mirrors before in his time.

But this one... it seemed to have something that the others didn't have but it just couldn't be explained as Lenny walked forward to the mirror, looking at himself in such a monstrous state, his eyes were completely blood-shot and watery, his maroon eyes had a pang of sadness while the glint of jealousy was now replaced with a glint of depression, his fur never had that shine like it use to instead, it was soaked with wet tears and snot, making his three-toned fur look slightly greasy, his ears were drooped and slightly dusty and his skin was just purely snot-stained, he practically looked like the boogie man, only, with a slight change of appearance. Lenny sighed as he put one hand against the mirror and stared at himself. "Wow Lenny... you don't half look terrible..." The Mogwai said to himself, as he looked at the state he was in.

For a moment, all Lenny did was stare into the depths of the mirror when suddenly, his reflection started to fade, Lenny's eyes widened as he watched his Mogwai reflection fade and in its place, stood a brown blob, which soon turned into something that Lenny did not expect: A Gremlin. But this Gremlin wasn't an ordinary Gremlin; this one was far from a new face. Its skin was light brown and all over the skin, except for the chest were black spots which covered the Gremlins arms and legs, leaving the rest of the body blank, its ears had small black stripes at the ridges and the odd black spot here and there, the Gremlin also had bright, dark orange eyes, which seemed to shine out even in the darkest of places but what stood out on this Gremlin the most... was the buck teeth, that were exactly, like Lenny's.

Lenny widened his eyes at the reflection and started to back away, he knew this reflection well, this... was his Gremlin form, the form that he never wanted to go back to as far as he was concerned. "No! Not now!" Lenny shouted, as he hung his head down and held some of his fur with his fists.

The Gremlin let out its trademark donkey laugh as it stayed in the mirror, seeming to speak to Lenny as it pushed its scaly hands forward towards the glass, trying to bust out of its contained prison. Lenny could only gasp as he stared at one of his previous forms, he wanted to run but it seemed that curiosity kept him frozen to the spot as he took a step forward to the mirror, to the Gremlin, and that's when Lenny felt a sharp pain in his head and not only that but he felt like something was there... something was talking... to him.

"Eat after midnight Lenny! You know you want to!" The voice whispered, the words poisoning his brain.

Lenny slowly lifted his head up to the mirror, the Gremlin was staring at him with an evil expression, the Mogwai gulped as he then realised what was talking to him. "No! I won't! I vowed to myself that I'll never be a Gremlin again! Besides, what will it do for me?" Lenny screamed, trying to be as forceful as possible but it came out more scared-like.

The Gremlin drew back from its glass container before smirking down at the Mogwai, crossing its arms in a cool way, its wild, orange eyes gleaming with nothing but evil in them. "Oh, it will do a lot for you Lenny for one, you can get that Angela where it hurts I mean, you loved her, right? And how did she treat you in return? Ay? She dumped you for that no-good Gizmo! And another thing, Mohawk always used to push you around, didn't he? Well, if you eat after midnight, you can get revenge for all that bullying besides, he'll be smaller than you anyway."

Lenny's jaw dropped as he processed all the information that was being said, this Gremlin was giving him a chance to let all his anger out but as much as he wanted to, he couldn't besides; he still cared for Angela, even if they did break up a few minutes ago. "My answer is still no!" Lenny yelled to the mirror. His response instantly came when he felt a cackling sensation in his head. Alarmed, Lenny instantly held his head, trying to block out the Gremlin's whispering, donkey voice.

The Gremlin's eyebrows instantly narrowed and his wild, orange eyes glowed with anger. "WHAT ABOUT GIZMO? AY? DON'T YOU WANT TO KILL HIM, MAKE HIM PAY FOR WHAT HE'S DONE TO YOU? AY? And another thing, Stripe's taking a great likeness to us Lenny, as were the same being, you'll be up in his top ranks soon, you and him, you'll be unstoppable and if that Gremlin ever does double cross you, you'll be able to take him out... that is, if you're a Gremlin."

Lenny just stared at his Gremlin reflection, seemingly unable to escape its mercy, this time though, the Gremlin seemed to have a point, especially with the bit about killing Gizmo, and it was something Lenny wanted to do now more than anything. But still, Lenny felt that turning into a Gremlin wouldn't solve his problems, it would only cause more trouble for him. "As much as I want to kill Gizmo, my answer's still no." Lenny said firmly, as he looked his Gremlin counterpart straight in the eyes.

The Gremlin immediately growled in anger as it banged on the glass, trying to get out of its imprisonment, which scared Lenny greatly, causing the Mogwai to immediately back away. "YOU WEAK LITTLE MOGWAI! How can you not see that turning into me will solve your problems, ay? I mean, you turned into me at the Clamp Centre Building!"

Lenny immediately stopped dead. "I know, but that was different, I never want to be a Gremlin again as far as I'm concerned."

The Gremlin gritted its human-like teeth as it banged on the glass, trying to break out of the glass imprisonment, screaming out loud like a donkey before glaring down at Lenny, giving him a look of pure hatred. "YOU MAY WANT TO BE A MOGWAI NOW BUT MARK MY WORDS PARTNER, YOU'LL LET ME OUT ONE DAY, ONE DAY, YOU WILL LET ME OUT! RAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGH!"

Lenny was purely frozen to the spot as he watched his Gremlin counterpart smash his way against the mirror, seemingly trying to break out of it, screaming like a donkey as it went. Lenny was absolutely terrified as he stood there; watching his counterpart, his maroon eyes full of fear, his whole body felt like jelly and his heart was beating more rapidly than a Chinese gong. Lenny felt a churn in his stomach again and as fast as lightning, Lenny started to reverse, keeping his eyes on the mirror as he did, the buck-toothed Mogwai kept reversing until he felt something come into contact with his back, something bigger than him. Lenny gulped, he knew what it was and as soon as he turned round, he closed his eyes and screamed as he prepared for the worst.

"Whoa! Karm down Len! It's just me!"

Lenny immediately stopped screaming and opened his eyes to see that it was just Stripe, who was standing there with a confused look on his face with his arms crossed. Knowing that he was safe, Lenny sighed before looking back at the mirror which no longer held his Gremlin reflection, all he could see now was himself and Stripe.

Stripe widened his eyes at the buck toothed Mogwai, who kept his eyes on the mirror ahead of him, unmoving. "Lenny, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Stripe commented, as he looked down at the Mogwai.

Lenny looked up at him. "Stripe, you don't want to know..." He replied, before sitting on his bum and looking back into the mirror.

Stripe sighed to himself before joining Lenny at the mirror by sitting next him and for a moment, all Lenny and Stripe did was look into the depths of the mirror. "Lenny, are you feeling ok?" Stripe finally asked, breaking the awkward silence between them. "Because, I saw you go past me and Greta and I... couldn't help but feel worried about you."

Lenny whimpered a little before looking back up at Stripe, his eyes stinging with tears. "To tell you the truth Stripe, no... No I'm not." Lenny cried, as he once again wiped the dissolving tears onto his three-toned fur.

Stripe held out his arms, gesturing Lenny for a hug. "Aw, come here Len!"

Lenny immediately stood up and dived onto Stripe's lap, normally he would be a bit hesitant but at this point, he didn't care who was hugging him, as long as he could let his emotions out, it was all he needed. Lenny hugged the Gremlin Leader as tight as he could, letting his tears run down Stripe's scaly chest like a waterfall while Stripe slowly wrapped his arms round Lenny, hugging him back gently into his embrace.

After about five minutes or so, Stripe let go of Lenny and looked into his sad, little maroon eyes before saying: "Now you tell ol' Stripey what's upsetting you, k Len?"

Lenny only snorted as he once again wiped his nose. "Its Gizmo, Stripe... he took everything from me and... I want to kill him Stripe, I WANT TO BLOODY KILL HIM!"

Stripe smirked. "Me too Lenny, me too." Stripe paused and looked away as the images came back to his mind, images of dying to the sunlight and losing to his worst enemy. The Gremlin leader growled to himself before looking back at the buck-toothed Mogwai. "See? Now you know how I felt when I lost everything to that... abomination."

Lenny frowned; his small hands balling into tight fists as the image of Gizmo's face came to his mind. "I know... and it doesn't feel good... I just feel more... angry than anything, and jealous, since Angela's all for him." Lenny explained. His face then softened as he thought of former friend and crush. "But Angela... I still love her Stripe, more than anything and if she's still not mad at me... I may take her back tomorrow."

Stripe immediately wrapped his arm round the Mogwai, pulling Lenny close to him. "Oh no Lenny, you, DO NOT, NEED HER!"

Lenny widened his eyes at Stripe's reaction. "Why don't I need her? She's my friend Stripe and she means so much to me and-

"Think about it Len! Say if you take her back tomorrow, how long is it going to be before her and Gizmo get PROPER CLOSE again, think about it Lenny, do you really want another heartbreak?" Stripe questioned, as he looked down at the Mogwai, hoping that he could convince him to stay away.

Lenny gritted his teeth together as he thought about what Stripe said. "I don't know Stripe, I-

The Gremlin leader instantly let go of the Mogwai, narrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms however, his eyes were still locked on Lenny. "SHE'S NOT WORTH GETTING UPSET OVER LENNY! Besides, your too valuable for both Angela and George."

Lenny whipped his head towards the Gremlin, a sad look on his face and in his eyes. "Maybe your right about Angie, I guess it was just wasn't... meant to be... but, I still love her Stripe."

Stripe did a dastardly grin before getting to his feet. "Oh don't worry my little friend; you won't have to worry about Angela for long, cause guess what? She won't be sticking round for long."

Lenny's eyes widened after hearing Stripe's words and his heart started to pound in his chest once again. "What?" Lenny yelled, in complete shock of what Stripe just said.

Stripe's grin got bigger as his red eyes flashed with danger. "Yeah... she'll be out of your life faster than you can blink Lenny." The Gremlin Leader then licked his lips in a rather creepy way which sent shivers down Lenny's spine as he watched Stripe turn to leave. "I'll see you in the morning Lenny, maybe you could come and play poker with me and the boys, I'll teach ya how to play, k? Anyway," Stripe turned his head towards Lenny, who could only see one half of Stripe's face as the other half was encased by the darkness but even then, it made Stripe seem scary standing there. "I'll see you tomorrow Len." And with those last words, Stripe started to walk away, having a little cackle to himself as he did.

Lenny could only stare at Stripe as he left, confusion was spread across his face as he stood there, trying to make sense of what Stripe had just said, he didn't even know what the Gremlin leader meant by his words, all Lenny knew was... it didn't sound good and despite the fact that he and Angela were no longer friends, he couldn't help but feel worried for her. "She won't be sticking around for much longer... what the hell did Stripe mean by that?" The buck-toothed Mogwai thought, as he turned back to the mirror. "And that she'll be out my life quicker than I could blink huh? Hmmm... Even though I'm no longer Angie's friend, I still care for her... no matter what and things just don't sound too good for her right now but one thing just crosses my mind... what did Stripe mean? He's up to something... I know it!" Lenny thought.

The Mogwai then sighed as he looked into the dusty, ancient mirror in front of him and thought about what Stripe had just said to him, trying to make sense of the puzzle that the Gremlin layed out in front of him but he just couldn't seem to grasp it as he stared into the clear, glass mirror, the words poisoning his skull...

"She won't be sticking round for long..."
