~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natalie decided to call Videl but she wasn't answering the phone. She tried Lindsey but her phone was busy. She got frustrated and climbed out of her window, climbed into a tree and stood on a branch outside a window. She knocked rapidly on it and David opened it.

"What?! Why are you knocking like a bitch?" David asked in annoyance.

"Look, there's some freaky stuff going on. You know it, I know it, and for God's sake Nicholas knows it and we are going to do something about it."

"You are extremely pissed. You watched Buffy didn't you?" David asked.

"I just can't believe that Spike is almost killing himself over that whiny bitch! Now, let's go." Natalie said.

"Where, prey tell?" David asked.

"To go break into school." Natalie replied.

"Okay, let me go get a hat." David said grabbing a cap and following her out of the window. They hopped into David's car and drove to school. Natalie tried to jump the fence but she was too short.

"You could try opening the gate." David said opening the gate and walking through.

"I knew that. I was just testing you." Natalie said but David just smiled as she climbed down. They went inside.

"So, what exactly are we doing?" David asked.

"You know how all those girls suddenly came at once."

"Yeah?"

"That's the weird part. All of them were girls! Doesn't that seem odd to you?"

"No."

"You are such a guy, it's sickening!" Natalie said as they reached the principal's office. "Got a bobby pin?" David gave her a look. "Never mind."

"What do you need it for?" David asked as Natalie fished through her long hair for a bobby pin.

"What do you think? I'm gonna pick the lock open. Geez, now I know why Duo braids his hair, convenient stealing and lock picking. Bingo!" Natalie said as she found the pin and opened the door.

"You know, you scare me sometimes." David said following her into the office. She quickly turned on the computer and got to work.

"Aha! I knew it! Take a look at this!" Natalie said opening the 'new admissions' file.

"Ohmigosh!"

"I told you."

"These girls are smart as well as beautiful! I think I'm in love!" David swooned.

"Chill Brock and focus for a minute here. All these girls supposedly came from the same school. It says their school burnt down last month. Odd…"

"What?"

"Andrea is the only new girl that didn't come from that school. I guess we found the normal one."

"So what? It could all be some big coincidence." David reasoned but Natalie was already hard at work. David sighed a mushroom cloud. "So, since I'm here for nothing but brute manly force, why don't we spark up a conversation?"

"Sure."

"What's up between you and Nick?" David asked. Natalie blushed.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you seem to be avoiding each other lately. Explain yourself." David said, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Natalie just ignored him.

"Ooh!" Natalie said.

"From the ooh I can guess that you've found something. Something eeeeeeevil?"

"Indeeeeed!!" Natalie quipped. (ALERT: Wrestling quote.) A figure appeared in the doorway. David suddenly perked up.

**I don't know why but…I can feel evil energy…why is that? I'm so not psychic.** David thought to himself. He looked at the door and recognised the figure.

"Lindsey! What are you doing here?" David asked.

"That's what I'd like to ask you." Lindsey replied.

"Well I've been searching through the computer and I think I've finally figured out all the weird stuff that has been going on. I've traced it to you." Natalie said talking to Lindsey. David looked at Natalie but she just gave him a look that said 'shut up'.

"So, you've figured it out. I must say I'm impressed although I thought that your friend would be the one who figured it out and not you." Lindsey said. David looked confused as hell. "How? My plan was flawless."

"Well I figured it out well enough so just refresh my memory so I can tell you where you went wrong." Natalie smirked.

"As you know, your friend Lindsey is dead. I am merely using her body and traipsing around pretending to be her. My name is Glycer Stearylin and I'm spying for the aliens of Tocopherat who are planning to take-over your future world. I was told that if I stopped you and your friends now we wouldn't have a problem in the future. You proved harder to destroy than I thought even though I did give Gohan that false dream…so I've sent for a back-up army. Of course, then you found out. What exactly was my mistake?" Glycer said giving Natalie an evil look.

"Your mistake was trying to trick a person who has watched TV since before she could speak. I was totally going on a hunch. I knew absolutely nothing of what you just told me. I tricked you and you fell for it. I'm surprised your planet could trust you with such a responsibility when a D average student tricks you." Natalie smirked wagging her finger.

"WHAT?!" Glycer said. "I…I can't believe it! How could I be tricked by the likes of you?"

"Don't make me repeat myself, it's bad for my health." Natalie asked with a hint of humour in her voice. (ALERT: Another Duo Maxwell quote.)

"Natalie…you have a lot to tell me." David said smirking.

"THIS IS INTOLERABLE! IF I HAVE TO DIE THEN I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!!" Glycer yelled charging at Natalie and striking a knife down her arm. All of a sudden David was behind Glycer holding her in a full nelson.

"Dude! How did you move so fast? I didn't even see you move. It was so Flash Gordon!" Natalie asked with amazement.

"Honestly, I have no idea. I just saw you in trouble and then it was like WHOOSH! There I was holding McBitch in a full nelson." David said. Suddenly Glycer opened her mouth and let out a deafening high pitched yell and Natalie and David fell and clasped their ears.

"AAAH!! STOP SCREAMING LIKE A BITCH!!" Natalie yelled as Glycer made her escape. When the ringing in their ears stopped Natalie went and saved all her findings on a disk, they ran out of the building and then hopped in the car.

"Here, let me drive. You're injured." David said with concern.

"Thanks. So, what exactly are we going to do now?" Natalie asked.

"First off I think we'd better call the others and then you need to explain how you knew it wasn't Lindsey. How did you anyway?" David asked.

"I don't know. I could just sense something evil about her." Natalie replied.

"Strange…"

"What?"

"I could sense the same thing…this is getting to X-Files-esque for me." David sighed as he pulled into his driveway. "We need to call everyone and tell them to come to my house. We need to re-group."

"Yep."

MEANWHILE AT GOHAN'S…

"So that's what happened. It wasn't your fault bro." Gohan explained. Goten broke into a big grin and hugged his brother.

"I love you onii-chan!" Goten said. "You know, you should be nicer to Natalie. She's so nice."

"Do I sense a crush?" Gohan teased. Goten blushed.

"No!" Goten said exiting the room. Gohan sighed.

"If only Videl was easy to talk to like Goten." The phone rang.

"GOHAN! IT'S FOR YOU!" Chi-Chi yelled from downstairs.

"Got it! Hello?" Gohan answered. Suddenly an incoherent voice was coming from the receiver. "Natalie, you need to breathe…uh huh…yeah…WHAT?! Okay, I'll be right there." Gohan put the phone down and tried to sneak out of the window but Chi-Chi caught him.

"Where exactly do you think you're going young man?!!" Chi-Chi demanded. Gohan laughed sheepishly.

"I'm going to a friend's house. There's something we need to do for school." Gohan said.

"Well! If it's for school just make sure you're back by ten 'o' clock." Chi-Chi said leaving the room. Gohan looked at her in bewilderment.

"I can't believe I got away with it. There must be forces interfering with this." Gohan said flying out of the window. (A/N: ^_^;;)Gohan landed in front of David's house and rang the doorbell. David's mom let Gohan in and he went upstairs to find Nicholas, David, Natalie and Videl.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Gohan asked. "Nat, what happened to your arm?"

"G, I think you'd better sit down." David said. Gohan raised an eyebrow.

MEANWHILE, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF NICKY TOWN…

The woodland creatures were just minding their own business when suddenly the clouds in the sky started swirling violently. As the animals made a break for it there was a crack of thunder and lightning. The clouds stopped swirling as a machine touched down in the woods. The door opened and there was some mist. Four figures stepped out of the machine and one of them was coughing due to the smoke.

"You just had to show off and get the 'Star Trek' door opener!" One said, his tone of voice indicating that he was a guy. As the smoke cleared you could see that all of them were guys. The one that had spoken had black spiky hair and was wearing more or less exactly what the others were wearing. Ripped jeans, hooded jackets and fingerless driving gloves but the colours and styles varied. The spiky haired guy was talking to a guy that was wearing a bandana to hide his hair and a good portion of his forehead. He had azure eyes and was just a little taller than his friend.  Both of them looked around 18 or 19 years old. The other two looked older but were as still handsome. One had neck length, shaggy dark hair and the other had short blonde hair but both had green eyes. All of them looked like they were in good shape.

"Hey! It was the motif that came with the package!" The bandana guy said smugly.

"Do you even know what motif means?" The spiky haired asked.

"Yes, you're the stupid one not me."

"Take that back!"

"Make me!"

"HEY!" The older dark-haired one yelled stepping in between them. "Just stay focused okay? The last thing we need is to mess up this mission because of your babbling!"

"I don't think you're wife would be too pleased about you talking to me like that!" The bandana guy said as the blonde one laughed.

"Let's just get this over with. The nearest airport is Basil Airport so we'll go there and make like we're tourists or something. That way it won't be so suspicious." The dark haired guy said as they followed him.

BACK AT DAVID'S…

"What? How? What?" Nicholas said gob smacked.

"Three very good questions. I'm not sure if what she said was true but…she felt evil." David said with a very thoughtful look on his face.

"Yeah. I mean she was really strong and she was screaming like a bitch!" Natalie said as everyone else looked at her in surprise. "You know all high pitched and deafening."

"Oh…" Everyone else said as she sweat-dropped.

"What I want to know is how did Natalie know how to say all those things to this Glycer woman. Could you answer that?" Videl said accusingly.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Nicholas asked looking Videl square in the eye.

"I mean, what if she is one of them as well. After all no one noticed the change in Lindsey!" Videl said. Natalie just sighed.

"Hey, why don't you just calm down?" Gohan tried to reason.

"You know just because she always stick up for you, you have to add your two cents don't you?" Videl said.

"Oh for Kami's sake Vid…"

"DON'T CALL ME VID!"

"Will all of you please SHUT UP?!" David said as Natalie stifled a laugh. "Now Nat, please tell us how you knew so that Counsellor Videl's mind will be put at ease."

"Thank you your honour." Natalie laughed. "I really can't explain it…it was like I could hear her thoughts ya know? It was practically written on her face…and I'm sounding like a complete loony."

"No, what you're saying makes sense." Videl and Gohan said at the same time and then Videl scowled while Gohan grimaced. Nicholas looked at them with confusion.

"Well she exactly isn't going to come right out and attack us so I suggest we just get on with our lives as normal. AND NO SNEAKING OFF AT NINE O CLOCK AT NIGHT!" Nicholas said, saying the last bit directly at David and Natalie. Videl nodded and walked out.

"See ya." She said exiting. Gohan soon followed and Natalie and Nicholas went to leave as well.

"If ya need anything Dave I'm next door." Natalie said giving him a hug.

"Ok, just take care of that arm of yours." David said as they walked downstairs and outside.

"Are you gonna be ok?" Nicholas asked.

"Yes. It's just a scratch." Natalie replied. **Woah, this feeling that Nicky is emitting. It's so familiar. What is it? It feels nice though…**

"Just make sure you take care of yourself ok?" Nicholas said bending down and giving her a soft kiss. Natalie blushed as he walked away.

"Wow…" She breathed as she walked back into her house.

THE NEXT DAY…

"Are you sure you wanna do this? I mean what about your arm!" Nicholas said.

"My arm is fine. It's not like I need it!" Natalie said reassuringly.

"But soccer…it's such a dangerous sport!" David said. Natalie just flexed her arm.

"Well I'm a dangerous gal!" Natalie replied.

"I'll say."

"What was that Dave?!"

"Nothing!"

"I think you've dug yourself into it Finch." Nicholas smirked.

"Besides, I've already made it into the first line-up anyway." Natalie said triumphantly.

"So, why are we still standing outside the girls' locker room? Not that I mind." David smiled as Natalie smacked him in the ribs.

"I'm waiting for Andie."

"Who's that? You mean that new girl in Videl's class?! Are you out of your mind?! What if she's one of those women that Glycer was talking about?!" David yelled.

"A little louder! The underground miners couldn't hear you!" Natalie hissed. "Besides, we both know that she isn't a part of that army." Andrea came out.

"Hey Nat." Andrea said as her gaze turned to David. They both looked at each other as Natalie laughed and pulled Andrea along.

"C'mon Andie, let's go." Natalie said.

"Where are you going?" Nicholas asked.

"To the coffee shop. We're meeting Videl there." Natalie replied as the boys followed.

MEANWHILE…

"Are you sure that's what you want to do?" The bandana guy asked.

"Yes, we'll go see Gohan and you guys can do whatever. We'll contact you if we need you." The blonde guy answered.

"Y'know. It won't do us any good if we change things here it won't do us any good." The dark haired guy said. "I'm just reminding you."

"Yes, but at least we'll be fixing the damage we've caused." The spiky haired guy said somewhat sadly. The others nodded in agreement and went their separate ways.

"Listen I'm hungry, can we stop in that coffee shop?" The spiky haired guy asked. The bandana guy sighed.

"You're always hungry! This is why they didn't take you with them to go see Gohan! Fine lets go!" He answered as they walked in. Natalie and co had already gotten there. As the two guys walked in the door Natalie and Videl looked at the two guys, blushing.

"Wow!" They both uttered. The spiky haired boy looked at Natalie and a smile crossed his face. Natalie felt her stomach jump as she said wow yet again. The guy with the bandana seemed to whisper something to his friend but his friend didn't seem to be listening. Natalie got out of her seat to 'go get a refill' as the guy walked up to her. He took her hand and looked into her eyes.

"Would you mind terribly if I kissed you now?" He asked suavely. Before she could say anything he grabbed her waist, pulled her close and he kissed her passionately. The guy with the bandana smacked his forehead.

"What the bloody hell?" The other four chorused.

End of this part…

I think I have an obsession with cliffhangers now. As for if Videl and Gohan are gonna get back together…you'll have to wait and see. MWAHAHAHA…MWAHAHAHAHA! See ya!
