Good morning (or 'good afternoon,' or 'good evening,') readers!!
Spring break is over, and spring as I know it is over as well. We have
three inches of snow outside. In the middle of March. Boo.
Anyway, for those of you who wrote reviews for the last chapter, here are my replies:
To Graymoon74: I know, I wish I had someone magical in my life, too. But I don't, and that's why I created Simon and Batsie. By the way, I'm kind of worried about this separation, too. (And I'll give you more Dorian later, I promise!)
To galabalesh: Actually, I have a better idea. I'm going to write an LXG fan fiction story about everything I find ridiculous in LXG fan fiction stories. For starters, Hyde and Mina will be a couple. And there's going to be a new passenger on the Nautilus. Her name will be Mary Sue...
To Starlight16: Oh, I think others have thought of the Jekyll/Hyde separation idea; they're just too nervous to write about it, because everyone knows that Hyde's a monster!!
To Silent Bob 546: The other characters in this story are sharing your feelings of congratulation for Jekyll. You'll see what I mean in this chapter. "I can fix that!"
To AnonymousLove: Stop smacking yourself with a watermelon! (But if you have to hit yourself, use apples; they're easier to toss!)
To the Sardonic One: Father Hyde? LOL!!! That's a sheer possibility; I will DEFINITELY keep that in mind!! By the way: Dorian's coming back soon, Leaguers II is great, and yes, there will be a fifth fic in this series.
Enjoy Chapter 12!

"Who's the genius?"
Hyde and Jekyll quit dancing with each other and both swung around. Standing in the doorway to Jekyll's bedroom was an irritable looking Batsie Linoge. Still half-asleep, she didn't even notice that Jekyll and Hyde were now two different people.
"Doesn't the time 'two o' clock in the morning' mean ANYTHING to you two?" she demanded.
"Nope," they both replied together, grinning.
"Well, how do you expect me to solve the Dorian problem if I don't have a chance to sleep on it?" she snapped.
Batsie would have kept scolding them if it hadn't been for Donna. Coming from behind Batsie, she pushed her lover's ex-wife aside and turned to face Jekyll angrily.
"HENRY JEKYLL!!" she screeched. "Doesn't the time 'two o' clock in the morning' mean ANYTHING to you?!?!? What in Heaven's NAME is going on here!?!? And you had better explain before I telekinetically levitate your desk right over your head and DROP IT!!!"
"I bet I can beat you to it," Batsie snapped. Raising a finger, she magically lifted Jekyll's desk off the ground.
"Please don't do that, Batsie!" Jekyll begged her. "Edward and I were just celebrating my latest triumph! We'll go to bed soon!"
"Like HELL we will!" Edward roared. "I could party all night!!"
"Hold on a second," Donna cut in. "You said that Edward and YOU were celebrating..." Donna's pink albino eyes shifted from Henry Jekyll over to Edward Hyde, and then back to Henry Jekyll. "Oh, gosh," she gasped. "You've done it, haven't you? You've fixed the potion, haven't you?"
"What potion?" asked Batsie, narrowing her eyes and gently setting Jekyll's desk back in its proper place.
"Oh, Batsie, this is great!! Henry here's a genius!!" Donna exclaimed, fully awake now. She ran over to Jekyll, grabbed him by the arms, and started dancing with him.
"I'm AWARE of that!" Batsie exclaimed. "But tell me, what potion!"
Donna dropped Jekyll and faced Batsie again. "A few days ago, Henry made this potion to separate himself from Edward, but it didn't work very well. And now, he must have fixed it!"
"I did fix it," said Henry Jekyll triumphantly. "And now, Edward and I will be in separate bodies forever!"
"Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?!?" Batsie practically exploded. "You were right to celebrate at two in the morning!! Would you like me to go and wake Mina?"
Henry stopped. "No," he said finally. "We'll just announce it to her in the morning. Mina needs her sleep."
"But we don't," said Edward Hyde, grinning evilly. He turned to Batsie. "Miss, may I have a bottle of whiskey?"
"Sorry," said Batsie. "I can't conjure alcohol, except wine for medicinal purposes."
"Let's raid the kitchen for some whiskey, then," suggested Donna. "Come on, Henry."
"Okay," Henry Jekyll agreed. Drinking was one of his guilty pleasures. In fact, even before he drank the Hyde potion for the first time, Jekyll spent a lot of time in pubs.
"Go get Skinner and McCane, Edward," Jekyll called to his alter ego as he and Donna left for the kitchen.
"Gotcha," said Edward. He hurried after them, leaving Batsie alone in Henry's room.

Tom Sawyer awoke in his bed.
"Gosh, I'm thirsty," he thought to himself. "I should get up and get some water." So he swung his legs over the side of his bed and stood up.
"Hold on!" he said aloud. Didn't he have a sprained ankle when he fell asleep a few hours ago?
The bandages were still on his leg, but his ankle didn't hurt at all. Anxiously, Sawyer reached down and removed the bandages completely. His ankle was no longer swelled up; it looked and felt perfectly normal.
Half confused and half scared, Sawyer jumped on, ran on, and danced on his right leg. It didn't hurt at all.
"What the--" he asked aloud, confused. "Who—what—how did I get like this?"
At that moment, Sawyer noticed something in the corner of his bedroom. It was a black cane, with a silver wolf's head on top of it. And the wolf's head was ALIVE! It was GROWLING at him!!!
Tom felt like running back to bed and pulling the covers over his head. Whoever heard of a growling cane? That cane was full of dark magic!
Still, Tom couldn't shake the suspicion that he had seen that cane before. But he couldn't remember where.
Tom was still standing in the middle of his room and dwelling on this when he heard a soft female voice giggle from down the hall. It sounded as if it was coming from Jekyll's room.
A soft FEMALE voice?
"Batsie Linoge!" Tom exclaimed suddenly. That's where he'd seen the cane before! It belonged to Batsie's husband, Simon Linoge.
"The Linoges are here!" he exclaimed, and ran off toward Jekyll's room to see what was going on.
* * *
"We snagged two bottles," Donna whispered. "One for Edward, one for the rest of us."
"Hey!" Skinner whined. "I wanted my own bottle of whiskey, too!"
"Hey, guys! What's going on?"
Donna, Jekyll, Hyde, Skinner, McCane, and Batsie all looked towards the doorway, where Tom Sawyer was standing in his nightshirt.
"What's going on? Who's she?" Sawyer asked, nodding towards Donna. "Why's Batsie here? Why are you all drinking whiskey instead of sleeping? And why are Jekyll and Hyde in two separate bodies?"
"Whoa, whoa!" Batsie laughed and stopped him. "I only caught your last question, Tom, so I'll answer that one first. Henry and Edward are in two separate bodies because Henry finally made a potion to separate himself from Edward. So we're celebrating. That's why we're not in bed."
"It's his second attempt," McCane added. "His first one didn't quite work."
"If it hadn't been for Mina's quick actions, I would have died from acid poisoning," Jekyll added thankfully. The group sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Hold on a minute," Batsie said slowly. "It gave you acid poisoning? You never told me that, Henry. You just said that the first potion didn't work very well."
"Actually, I said that, not Henry," Donna spoke up, but no one listened to her. They were all looking at Batsie. She had an odd expression on her face. Her eyes were looking up to Heaven in thankfulness, and she was smiling.
"Acid poisoning," she said again, quietly. "I have it! I HAVE IT!! I know how you guys can get rid of Dorian Gray!!!"

Hopefully, it won't be long before I have the next chapter up. I'm starting to get back into the story.
