(A/N: This chapter takes place just before "Date With Destiny" (just like the last one) and possibly during the episode. This chapter might be longer than the last one, in case you thought the last one was a little short. At least I hope so because there's always the chance that I could run out of ideas or I could get writer's block.)

(Luna's Point of View)
After a couple more hours of walking and listening to music, I decided to go back home. It took me an hour or so to get home and I took my jacket off as soon as I did and put it back in the closet. I took off my sunglasses and headphones and put them on the counter along with my cell phone and iPod when I went into the kitchen to look for a snack. I opened one of the drawers and was about to grab a chocolate flavored protein bar, when Kitten shoved me out the way and I fell to the floor.
"Kitten, what the hell?!" I shouted, standing up.
She just looks at me angrily and doesn't reply. She grabbed something from the drawer without looking, marched up the stairs and into her room, slamming the door shut.
I looked in the drawer to see what it was she took. "A pack of M&Ms," I muttered to myself. I grabbed the protein bar and quickly ate it.
I threw away the wrapper and went into the living room to watch TV. I picked up the remote, pressed a button, and turned it on to one of my favorite channels: Science Channel. One of my favorite shows, "MythBusters", just happened to be on. I just sat there and watched for who knows how long.
I opened my eyes and lifted my head from the sofa. I groaned and moved my hair out of my eyes. "I must've fallen asleep," I mumbled to myself.
The house was dark and the television was still on, but it was changed to a different channel. The Fashion Network to be specific. 'Kitten,' I thought. 'Who else?'
I looked out the window and saw that the sky was a beautiful shade of bright orange. Sunsets were always my favorite thing to see in the evening, not only are they beautiful and relaxing but it sure beats watching my Dad work on his experiments.
I looked around the dark living room, I noticed a faint light coming from the basement and rolled my eyes. 'Dad,' I thought. 'Who else?'
I went upstairs and tried to open the bathroom door, but it was locked and I could faintly hear pop music from behind it. I sighed and went to the downstairs bathroom instead. I grabbed a towel from one of the closets and went in to take a shower.
I stepped out of the shower after only ten minutes and quickly dried off. I wrapped the towel around myself and walked out of the bathroom back into the living room.
When I walked in the room Kitten's boyfriend, Fang, was sitting on the sofa. He had his hands folded and his spider legs were resting on the sofa. He was watching the TV, most likely waiting for Kitten.
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Fang was watching me with his numerous eyes as I walked right in front of him. I looked back at him, but he was just staring at the TV screen.
I shrugged it off and went upstairs to my room, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. I swear to God it happens every single time Fang comes over.
I went into my room and made sure to lock the door in case a certain spider-headed creeper decided to come up with any funny ideas. Though, I'm pretty sure that I would be more than capable of taking him down without even trying.
I changed into a pair of black and red pajama shorts and a Pink Floyd t-shirt. The shirt was much bigger than my body, but I didn't really care all that much. I usually prefer wearing loose shirts than tight shirts, mainly because I just didn't really like to show off my body.
I brushed my damp hair before picking up my towel and going back downstairs. Fang was still on the couch when came back into the living room.
'Geez, is she putting an entire salon's worth of make-up on?' I thought sarcastically at whatever was taking Kitten so long.
I went back into the bathroom and hung up my towel on a towel ring right next to the shower door. Afterwards, I sat back down on the sofa, making sure to be a safe distance away from Fang.
Kitten it took another hour before finally coming downstairs! I am not fooling with you. Fang and I are easily more than an hour into the movie "Hacksaw Ridge". Well, I'm watching the movie, I'm pretty sure Fang was secretly stealing glances at me in between the scenes the entire time.
My sister was wearing a bubble gum dress - no surprise there - and high heels the same color - again, no surprise there - with little white bows on them - at least she's not just wearing my least favorite color. She was wearing a crap-ton of make-up! Seriously, she easily wearing enough to last the average fashion model for a whole year!
"Come on, Fang let's go," she pulled on his arm to get him to stand up.
"Hold on, let me finish watching this one scene first," he yanked his arm away.
She stomped her right foot on the floor, causing it to buckle slightly, and roughly grabbed his wrist, "When I say, 'let's go' it means let's go!" She dragged him out the door and slammed it shut, hard enough to cause the door frame to buckle.
Well, they're gone, now I don't have to worry about a mutant creepy crawly or my sister babbling about the most recent fashion trends. Dad's busy in the basement working on his mutant moths, so I pretty much have the house to myself. Maybe now I can finish watching the movie in peace.
(Third Person Point of View)
Killer Moth came out of the basement less than an hour after his older daughter left with her boyfriend. He saw his younger daughter sitting on the sofa in her pajamas.
"Hi, Luna," he said to her as the secret entrance to the basement closed.
"Hi, Dad. How's everything in the basement?" she asked in clear disinterest and anger.
"Fine," he replied quickly, then decided to change the subject before it could get out of hand, "Where's your sister?"
"Kitten left with Fang almost an hour ago," she answered. "What are you up to?" she questioned.
It took him a second before he responded, "Nothing much, just wanted to take a break from work."
"And by 'work' you mean your 'children'," she retorted, doing air quotes around "work" and "children".
He wasn't sure whether to deny it or to agree with what she says, so instead he made a rush for the kitchen. She just turned her attention back to the TV instead of following him to confront him about his experiments. She knew it was useless anyway.
Kitten and Fang went out to a party out by the pier, it took place inside a warehouse that was once used as a storage building to store things found out at sea. At one time there were rumors of sea monsters inhabiting the building since the nineteen fifties.
Normally when people see a guy with a spider for a head they would scream and run away, but the people at this party didn't. They came to know them as chill, fun people, though many secretly couldn't stand them at all, they were too scared to admit it.
After about an hour or so of on again off again dancing and chatting with some friends, they were taking a quick break in a corner area of the building. They decided to talk about their Prom night, more like Kitten babbling obsessively about it while Fang was looking at his phone pretending to listen to her.
"So, for tomorrow night, I'm thinking- Fang! Are you listening?!" she shouted.
"Yup," he answered, still looking down at his phone.
"Oh! Give me that!" she snatched his phone away from him.
"Hey! Give it back!" he tried to get it back, but she turned away from him.
She gritted her teeth and roughly grabbed him by the base of one of his spider legs, "Mind explaining this!"
On his phone was a picture of Luna, although this alone wouldn't prove anything since he goes to their house, this one was definitely more than a little risque. In the picture, Luna was wearing nothing but a strapless bra and panties, the quality was good enough to virtually every curve on her body. He had no answer for why he had the picture.
"Well? Say something?!" she yelled. Still nothing from him. "Answer me! Why do you have a picture of my sister?!"
"Okay, fine! It's because I think she's way hotter than you!" he finally admitted.
"You son of a black widow, we're done! Do you hear me?! Done!" she shouted and stomped out of the building while steam blew out of her ears and nose.
"Fine! See if I care!" he shouted back at her. "I hope I never see you ever again!"
Kitten arrived home just after nine o'clock and slammed the front door shut. She immediately marched up the stairs to her bedroom and slammed her door shut too, only harder and much louder.
Luna, who was in her room, sketching in her notepad and sitting on her bed with her legs crossed, heard all of it. Thanks to her enhanced hearing, another thing caused by the incident when she was three. She jumped and parts of her body shook violently at the sounds.
"Is she trying to start an earthquake?" she asked herself sarcastically.
She could hear her sister practically moving everywhere in her room and throwing stuff around. She knew what was coming and she was ready for it. She put on her headphones and made sure to pick one of the loudest songs she had on her iPod, one that would block out all close by sounds but not strong enough to cause her any harm. The song she picked was "It's Terror Time Again" by Skycycle.
Sure enough, Kitten let a scream that astronauts at the International Space Station could hear, "Daddy! DADDY!"
Their Dad stopped all his evil laughing in his lab and marched upstairs to his older daughter's room. The door flew open and he clearly out of breath and fuming, "Kitten, Daddy's very busy right now. Can't this wait until-"
"No! He broke up with me! My stupid ex-boyfriend, Fang, broke up with me! And now I don't have a date for the prom!" she ranted and was pulling at her hair by the roots. She then broke down and started to scream and sob into her pillow.
Killer Moth sat down and tried to comfort her, though his attempt was more like a socially awkward teen trying to calm down his raging friend, "Uh, there, there, I'm sure you'll find another date."
She shot up angrily, "Prom is tomorrow, Daddy, I don't have time to find another date, so YOU'RE GOING TO FIND ONE FOR ME!"
He stood up and tried to reason with her, "Now, Kitten, be reasonable! You don't seriously expect me to-"
She wasn't listening to him and give him a list of what she wants, "And I don't want just anyone. I want someone handsome, and popular, and totally cool. Someone no other girl can get. Someone who'll drive Fang wild with jealousy! I want Robin!"
"You mean the leader of the Teen Titans?!" he questioned. "How am I supposed to get him to go with you?!"
She grinned evilly, "Oh, I'm sure you'll figure it out because if don't I'm going to tell everyone, including the cops, about your nasty bugs!"
This was quite the ultimatum. What will he do? Put his foot down and discipline his spoiled daughter? Or take her blackmailing seriously?
The song Luna was listening to had long since ended by the time she heard her sister shout, 'I want Robin!' She just couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, but covered her mouth to muffle her laughs when she heard her blackmail their Dad.
She grinned and shook her head, before picking a new song. She laughed quietly to herself, "As if she could ever hope to get a guy like Robin."
The new song she picked mirrored the situation she was hearing, at least in her opinion. It was "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance.

(A/N: Sorry it took so long and sorry it's short, I really am, it's just life got the better of me. But thank you to everyone who supported me and this story! :) You guys are awesome! :)
I asked for only one review, so getting three is just amazing. I can't thank you guys enough! :)
One of the reasons it took so long is because I got sick and I just got over it the other day. The other is because I was reliving my early childhood. I've been watching a lot of "Scooby-Doo", "Teen Titans", and "Ben 10".
I don't know if any of you have Cartoon Network On Demand, but if you do there's a shit-load of "Scooby-Doo" on right now! I'm not joking, almost every "Scooby-Doo" movie and some classic cartoons are on right now! Not only that but "Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo" is On Demand right now too!
I originally planned to finish this on Veterans Day, but my cold kept telling me to fall asleep. I'm those of you who noticed that I referenced the movie "Hacksaw Ridge". For those of you who have seen it, you probably get it. If you haven't, I highly recommend it.)
