The Meeting
A/N: Not much happens in this chapter action-wise, it's mostly consisting of info you need to know
( or not? ) ^^ Thanks to everyone for the reviews so far =) Oh yeah, here are the rest of the color
kids' older looks ( like j00 care XD ):
Patty O'Green - Patty wears green shorts instead of a skirt that go halfway down her thighs with
white trimming. Her top is connected to it and there is white trimming on the collar, with dark
green shoulder pads that have white stars on them. She has her same old belt, and is always seen
wearing a necklace with a *blue* heart on it, though she doesn't like to reveal who it's from ;)
For shoes she still wears her patched up sneakers, and also wears fingerless gloves, like rainbow,
although hers are white. She always alternates between her favorite braids, and, on days where she
doesn't have to work, she lets the braids loose so that she has wavy green hair past her shoulders
and above her elbows.
Red Butler - No more puffy sleeves or tights for Red! XD He has the same shoes as he used to, although,
they're just sneakers now, the puffy part's gone. Now he wears large oversized red pants with no pockets-
or anything for that matter- which hang over his shoes. For a top, he wears a tight dark red tanktop
(oooh! XD) which *doesn't* reveal his stomach ( bleh, I hate that in guys ) but still shows a peep
of his color belt. He also wears yellow wristbands and on his top is a yellow star. He's a sexy beast
XD
Buddy Blue - Buddy wears almost the same thing as Red- almost, but not quite. Buddy ditched his gay
headband and silly 80's striped tights, and the puffy sleeves are OUTTA THERE! XD Instead, he wears
blue sneakers with the same tube socks and dark blue pants like Red's hanging over his shoes. He has
a lighter blue t-shirt that also bears a yellow star, except in the bottom right corner of his, and
his color belt is also visible, but not his stomach. He wears white sweatbands and he's also beginning
to spike up his hair XD And he's still a sports nut, although the jangly bracelet that has a *green*
clover on it always gets in his way, but none of the Color Kids have seen him ever take it off, and
no one can get him to say where he got it ;)
I'll describe the others in the next chap, don't want to clutter up the actual fic part! XD Here
we go:
" Do you all know why I've called you here? " clad in multicolored polkadotted pajamas, Rainbow
Brite stared around the large room, whose walls were yellow, and the color kids, also in their pj's,
sitting at the large table in front of her.
Patty O'Green looked warily up at Rainbow. " Ugh, Rainbow, it's sooo late, come on! "
Rainbow ignored her and continued, " I called this meeting of the color kids to discuss our little
visitor - the girl who calls herself Niji. "
" Oh, her. " said Patty dully. She stuck her chin in her hands and her eyelids drooped. Buddy patted
her shoulder sympathetically.
" Although she says she means no harm, we always have to be cautious. Therefore I've decided we
will have a discussion and devise a plan in case she /is/ here to cause harm. Violet? " Rainbow
motioned behind her and sat down heavily, while Violet got up and walked to the front of the room,
holding a small chalkboard.
" We shall discuss her possible objectives. " And then Violet launched into a long, tedious talk,
scribbling complicated diagrams on the chalkboard, and Rainbow nodding occasionally.
Patty leaned over onto Buddy and fell asleep. He caught Red's eye and mouthed the words, ' Yes! '
Red winked and mouthed ' Way to go. ' but looked as if he thought it should have happened to him.
Looking slightly left out, he scooted his chair closer to Lala, who was beside him, in hopes the
same thing might happen.
" Are you listening? " asked Violet impatiently, her hands on her hips. " Oh, for goodness sake,
Rainbow, why does the meeting have to be so late? " she added, spotting Patty.
" Because we don't want to be overheard. " said Rainbow promptly.
" She doesn't look harmful. " said Lala Orange while trying to hold in a yawn.
" Can we go back to bed now? " asked Canary Yellow, while Indigo nodded.
" Come on, kids! We have to be prepared! " said Rainbow. " Let's get serious, come on, just ten
minutes, there we go. Oh, and Buddy - " she added, " Ya might wanna get her to bed. "
Buddy grinned widely and carefully placed Patty in his arms in a baby-carrying position. Canary
saw Patty wink at her, and went into silent giggles.
" Well. " said Violet. " Any suggestions of how she got here? Me and Canary were down at the mines
where she supposedly appeared from, but no evidence, none at all, so I think it might be time to
brainstorm. "
" Well, " spoke up Indigo, " Maybe she works for Murky and Lurky. "
" That's the conclusion that seems most obvious, but why would Murky and Lurky create a girl that
is dressed in rainbow, and secondly, I highly doubt that even I could create a color kid... if she
is one. " said Violet.
" She came from the cave, we looked there, then turned, then looked again and she was there. " said
Pink stubbornly. " And unless Murky and Lurky have also invented a transportation device... "
" Who says it's Murky and Lurky? " interrupted Red.
" Right. It could be anyone. " said Rainbow. " I doubt if it could be Count Blogg or the Evil Princess...
since we defeated them... "
Indigo's head hit the table with a loud clonk as she fell asleep. Her eyes snapped open and she
rubbed her head, groaning.
Violet sighed impatiently and Rainbow glared at Indigo, who looked confused.
*Niji's Dream, which is a flashback/flashforward...*
" Sooo... whaddya want, mom? " asked Niji as she smoothed back her hair. " Ya called me out of the
color generator room? How come? I was going to go out with Jade... "
Rainbow motioned to a chair beside the one she was sitting in. " We need to talk, sweetie. "
" 'Bout what? "
" Your powers are very weak for how they should be at your age, Ni. " said her mother carefully.
" Not another lecture! " groaned Niji. " I'm TRYING! "
Rainbow ignored her child, then added, " Your friends, the younger Color Kids, are far more advanced
in honing their powers than you are- Niteshade is already creating constellations, and the others can
already control minor things. But you... your rainbow is so weak! It isn't even a rainbow! "
" I try and try and nothing ever works. " grumbled Niji.
" I'm trying to say this to you as gently as I can. " said Rainbow in a slightly impatient voice.
" Bear with me. Now, I have a plan. " she took a brilliant blue color crystal and held it to her
belt. Niji stared on, expecting a rainbow to shine out, but instead, a small key formed out of the
crystal. Niji stared at it.
" What's that? "
" A time key. Only I have access to it. It enables the holder to go forward in time. "
" Yeah, right, ma. " Niji rolled her eyes. " Why would I need some little key, anyway? Look, I don't
think it's real gold! " she poked it with one small finger.
" I want you to use this key to go to my past, when I was the earth age of fourteen - three thousand
years ago, mind that, we age so slowly. I need you to go there because I have little time to train
you in what you need to know - what with, you know- "
" I know, " said Niji uncomfortably.
" -and my past self can train you to become stronger and better at controlling your powers. " Rainbow
shook the little key. " Understand? "
" I have to leave you? "
" ... For a short period of time, or until you feel you can control your powers properly and produce
a standard-sized raibow. " said Rainbow. " Come. " she motioned to her lap and Niji sat down.
" You don't love me, " sniffled Niji, " Or you wouldn't want to ditch me! "
" I'm not trying to get rid of you. I love you so much, and that's why I'm sending you away, because
I care for you. It will be for your own good. " Rainbow looked into her daughter's big blue eyes and
blinked to hold back tears. " It will be hard for me, too. "
" I'll go as long as it's not too long, mama. "
" That's the right attitude! " Rainbow smiled. " Now, we need to go over some things, like how to
behave when you get there... "
Mother and daughter talked long and late into the night, preparing, revising, reviewing what Niji
had to know...
*End Dream/Flashback/Flashforward... aw, geez, I hate doin that -.-... uh, back to the meeting:*
" ... So, do we all know what we have to? How to get prepared? " asked Rainbow, standing up, while
Violet wiped the chalkboard clear and sat down.
" Yes, Rainbow! She's a little girl! How prepared do we have to be? " cried Red. " Ugh, and I have
to be in the mines early in the morning, wow, five hours of sleep for me, whoopie! "
Rainbow fumed. " Well, if she is harmful, then don't come to me when you need help! " so she stormed
out of the room in a huff, heading for her own room.
" That's not like Rainbow... " said Canary in a confused way.
" Definately. " agreed Lala. " Come on, Kids, there's work to be done in the morning. Night! " she
got up and strode out and the other kids, shuffling her chairs around, joined her in heading back
to their respective sleeping areas.
