Chapter 7
Cassie and Zack stopped in the middle of the lot. Surrounded by
soundstages and standing on the hot asphalt, Cassie wished she were back at
the fountain with Yakko. She glanced at Zack uneasily.
"So..um, what did you want to talk about?" She asked him.
He looked at her. "I thought you loved me."
Cassie instantly blushed. "Love? I don't want to 'Love' anybody yet Zack!
I'm only fourteen! Yakko's thirteen! And your..."
"Seventeen"
"Yeah." she thought for a moment.
"Woah!! Your seventeen?!?!?"
Zack nodded.
"That's..just..weird!" Cassie said.
Zack rolled his eyes. "Oh c'mon, humans do worse."
"Hey!" Cassie said and looked at him. Then getting serious again she
sighed. "Still, do you mind waiting? I need to know who I really like okkay
Zack?"
He looked at her, then hugged her.
"Alright."
Yakko was pacing nervously around the fountain.
"'This wont take long', my foot!" He muttered. Finally he stopped and
started to follow where they left. He didn't trust Zack with Cassie alone.
He walked past some soundstages.
Two people stuck their heads out from an alleyway between two soundstages
that Yakko just went past. The light uncloaked their identities. One was a
girl toon, the other a boy. The same two who were following Cassie out of
the lot a while ago. Also the same two who stopped Kirk from hurting
Cassie. The girl toon was a Warner. She had long blonde hair and a single
red rose near her left ear. The other was a Warner boy, both seemed around
the age of sixteen. The boy looked quite a bit like Yakko, though he wore a
white headband across his forehead. He also wore a green jersey. Despite
their differences, the pair looked the same in a way that was not by
appearances, but by body language and attitude.
"He's going after them!" the boy exclaimed softly to the girl.
Both snuck back into the darkness of the alleyway. It was dark, but not
dark enough for the girl's signs to be seen.
"What can we do?" The girl's sign read.
"I dunno Rose, but if Yakko finds out about Zack and Cassie.."
"Trakko! We aren't allowed to interfere!" Rose's frantic sign read.
Trakko sighed. "You're right, as always Rose."
Rose nodded to her twin brother. She suddenly thought of something and held
up another sign.
"Trakko? We are twins right?"
"Yeah."
"Then why am I so different from you? Where did we come from? And why can't
I talk like everyone else?"
"All good questions sis, but I cant remember anymore than you can. All I
know is were related to the Warners somehow. But I don't think they need
anymore Warners. So we should just wait. And stay out of sight."
Rose stamped her foot impatiently.
"But Trakko! I'm tired of hiding! I want them to see us! To get to know
us!"
"Sis, we cant, they wouldn't understand. They wouldn't understand us. We
are too different."
"Do you really think they are that shallow?" Rose gave him a annoyed look.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Trakko almost yelled, frustrated at his sister.
Yakko thought he heard a sound coming from one of the soundstages he just
past. Curious, he went to see if it was Cassie and Zack.
"Hello?" he called.
Trakko and Rose instantly froze. They glanced at one another and nodded to
each other. Both having the same plan to escape. As Yakko entered the dark
alleyway, they charged at him, knocking him to the ground, the two then
made their escape. Yakko stumbled and stood up. He saw a glimpse of the two
who knocked him down. He blinked.
Were they......no, they couldn't have been. There are not Warners all over
the place. He shook his head and continued looking for Zack and Cassie.
The others were growing bored. Wakko and Dot were playing cards. The two
ghosts were talking to the twin witches. But the conversation was turning
bad fast.
"You told them?!?!" Raven growled.
"Duh." Hardy said. His father shushed him.
"Look, you evil witches, we are not going to let you take Cassie away from
her family. She belongs here."
"Yeah!" Hardy chimed.
The twin witches were getting annoyed. And no one ever wants to see a Witch
get annoyed.
"Angel! Jagger! I think we should take these traitors back to Sedrick!"
Yakko casually walked up to the pair. Cassie was just finishing telling
Zack her decision to go with the Witches council. He had the same
expression Yakko had when she mentioned it.
"I won't let them take you away!" Zack announced.
"Correction, we wont." Yakko said. Both turned to him. She smiled
gratefully at Yakko. But still, she knew that her going might be the best
for both boys.
