Chapter 1

It was a wet midnight in July, dark (except for the full moon), and three teenagers were braving the dreaded Twenty-seventh street in the rain.

"Come on!" Shouted Kat over the shoes she had slung over her shoulder. "I need to show you guys something!" Her sharp yellow eyes were flashing through her dripping hair. Usually, she had her long, black hair tied back into a pony-tailor, but that night, it was loose, fluttering about her soaked head like little whips as she roller bladed down 27th street. She meowed loudly as she narrowly missed a T-Bird as it raced a motorcycle down the hill.

"Wait up! My feet are killing me!" Called back a soaked Nick, who was struggling with his skateboard. He usually had good control over it, but he was having trouble with all the cracks in the road. Every time he hit one, his board almost flew out from under him. It was actually very comical, to see his brightly colored hat go up, and down, and up, and down again, as he rose and tripped, and rose, and tripped again. He made a really huge splash in one of the puddles. Not to mention, he got wet.

"How do you think I feel?" his girlfriend, Emily asked him as she pulled her mountain bike up beside him, her necklaces swaying with the force of the swing. "You've almost got it good, but this rain isn't helping. My jeans are so soaked that I can barely ride! And this trench coat! I thought it would keep me warm, but it's just weighing me down! Oy, Kat!" She called to her friend as the two lovebirds flopped onto the curb, breathing heavily as they rubbed their aching legs. "Can we take a break? I need to rest."

Kat skated over and skidded to a stop, spraying them with the oily water that was collected in a ditch in the road. "What's wrong?" She teased. "Do the poor, little, helpless kittens not like the rain? Oh, come on! We're almost there! Get up!"

She tried to drag the other two to their feet, with some difficulty, due to the fact that she still had her roller blades on. At last, she flew, meowing and laughing into the ditch, and disturbed the rainbow-colored water collecting in front of the other two. Nick and Emily tut-tutted her as they pulled her up to her feet, and trudged on.

By then, they were thoroughly soaked to the bone marrow. Emily was surprised that none of them caught a deathly disease by that time. But finally they came to...

"The tracks?" Emily wondered out loud in surprise. They came to the bottom of a hill, with a water tunnel going through it. On the top was a big train. Go figure.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Nick asked, "Why are we stopping here? Everyone knows that nobody is to go over those... I mean, what if we get hit?"

"Oh, don't be such a scaredy cat," Kat taunted. "We're not going over them!"

"Then where are we going?" Asked both Nick and Emily in unison.

"You kittens!" Yelled Kat over the thunder, "We're going under them!"

If that didn't surprise them, nothing ever has. Over the tracks is one thing, but Under? Emily had never ever seen anyone go there, except for the drunkards and druggies (doers and dealers) of the town, but there Kat was, trying to drag them under the train tracks. Kat couldn't have surprised her more if there 100 naked men start to dance right in front of her eyes!

Kat sat down to take her blades off and put her shoes on. "All I forgot to get was the 100 naked men!" She teased.


yea, I know, a little weird, but hey, that's kat for ya…, yes Kat's a real person, and my best friend, and Yes Nick is my boyfriend too. Well, now ex-boyfriend... I just gave him a small cameo that he's not gonna read at all, but that's ok, and this was a day that was sort of real, Kat did show me the tunnel, and we went through it. did I get everything? um... oh yeah. never buy shoes. shoes are evil. if you need shoes, wrap a piece of leather around your foot. or else, there will be a new horizon.

THE SHOE EVENT HORISON! SHOE SHOPS OUTNUMBER ANY OTHER KIND OF SHOP, THE ENTIRE ECONOMY OVERBALANCES, AND IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BUYS SHOES THAT EITHER ARE COMFORTABLE OR DON'T HURT THE FEET, AND ANY SURVIVORS OF THIS TERRIBLE BLIGHT EVENTUALLY TURN INTO BIRDS, AND VOW NEVER TO PUT THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND AGAIN, AND BINGO, I GET TO PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN!
WHEEEEEEE!

um, yeah, sorry... bit of a sugar high...

mmmm, sugar babies... yum

double hearts to anyone who knows what that's from! and Kat, you already have double hearts because i say this all the time, so no, you can't play my fun little sugar game.

hmm, mabie I should start a sugar game, with hearts for prizes. and then I'll post the scores on the notes page! sounds like a plan to me, so new sugar game next chapter!

and you can do that too kat, just not this one, cuz I quote it all the time when we go for walks, so you automatically get double hearts!

r&r please! I love my reviews, and I love my reviewers!
