"That was odd." Timmy mumbled. "I wonder what she meant."
"What?" Neveah asked. "The 'when the moon is new, you shall feel no pain. When the moon is full, may you see what you can gain' thing?" she mocked.
"Yeah." He said, staring into space. "It has to mean something, but what?"
"Uhh… Timmy?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
Neveah pointed to his foot, which was vibrating as it scratched away at his ear. Timmy looked at it and immediately stopped. His cheeks turned bright red as Neveah tried to hold in a slight giggle.
"That's not funny!" He shouted, still blushing. Neveah started rolling on the floor laughing.
"Timmy!" Kayla shouted from the front door. "You have a visitor!"
"She's here!" Neveah shouted cheerfully.
"Who's here?" Timmy asked. He raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Neveah started down the stairs in merriment, when Timmy stopped her.
"Wait. My mom can't see you, remember?" Timmy reminded her.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot." She sighed.
"You stay in my room. I'll be back."
When Timmy came downstairs, in the doorway was a young, red acara. She stared at Timmy, expecting something.
"Hi! I'm Kyo. What's yours?" She greeted. When Kyo said this, Timmy's face went as red as her fur.
"M-my n-n-name is…" He started, but his mind completely shut down before he could finish. These were his thoughts:
"What's my name again? What am I doing here? Where am I? Wait – calm down. I remember now! She has a beautiful name! What did I remember? My name! That's it!"
"My name is Timmy." He finally said. His mouth felt like a desert. He swallowed, but that didn't help much.
"What is the matter?" Lorieli whispered. "You cannot talk to girls?" She snickered and climbed up the stairs to her room.
"Well. Show her to your room." Kayla suggested. Timmy nodded and motioned her to follow.
While Kyo was awing at the pictures and paintings which hung from the walls, Timmy glanced behind him. She too had a pendant, but hers was a light ocean blue. She's the guardian of water, Timmy thought.
"Kyo!" A squeaky voice squealed. "It's so good to see you!" Neveah leapt into Kyo's arms for a hug.
"You two know each other?" Timmy asked, pretty confused.
"Of course we do!" Kyo replied. "So Neveah, what are you doing here?"
"I'm Timmy's new partner!" Neveah said, glancing at Timmy. Kyo then glanced at him as well.
"Timmy. I've come from Mystery Island to join you on your quest and to give you this." Kyo held out a bronze staff with an illuminating ruby orb, just like the one on his pendant, on the end.
"What's it supposed to do?" Timmy asked. He studied it for a moment.
"It's a magical staff with the power of fire. When in battle, it will shine like a thousand suns to look like it was on fire. This will be your main weapon." Kyo explained.
"Timmy!" Kayla yelled from downstairs. "Will's here! I'll send him up!"
"Not now!" Timmy panicked, but it was too late.
"The fun has arrived!" Will cried, bursting through the door. "Thank you very much." He said, mimicking Elvis.
"Hi Will…" Timmy said nervously.
"Timmy!" Will greeted. He then saw Kyo standing there. "Who's this? Have you been holding out on me this whole time?" Will asked, staring at Kyo.
"Will! She's not my girlfriend! I just met her today!"
"Well that would explain why I haven't met her yet." Will said. Then he looked at Kyo. "Hey, Sweet cheeks. You doing anything tonight?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am!" She started angrily. She then pulled a fist back and punched him under the chin. "The name's Kyo!"
"Nice one, Romeo." Timmy remarked sarcastically.
"Oh, shut up…" Will replied.
"Call me Sweet cheeks again and I won't go as easy on you!" Kyo threatened, her eyes glowing ocean blue.
"Whoa, chill, Kyo." Timmy said trying to calm her down.
"Okay!" Kyo said cheerfully.
Timmy just stared at her wide-eyed. He then inched over to Will, who was brushing himself off. "Someone's having mood-swings." He whispered into Will's ear.
"Ya think?" Will replied, cursing under his breath.
"I'll be right back!" Kyo said.
"Me too!" Neveah squealed.
When they left, Will looked at Timmy like he was saying, "You're hiding something…"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Timmy asked.
"You like her." Will said.
"No, I don't."
"You like her."
"No, I don't."
After a long pause, Will finally said, "You like her."
"So do you!" Timmy accused.
"Not as much as you do!"
Timmy paused at this. He could feel his cheeks burning up.
"Ah, so you do like her. You want to go as far as she'll let you, right Timmy?" Will started up again.
"No!" Timmy lied. His face got even redder.
"You little perv, you!" Will exclaimed.
"Shut up!" Timmy cried, his face still bright red.
"We're back!" Kyo called.
"Well, would you look at that sunset? It's so romantic." Will said, noticing the sunset.
"Can it, Will." Kyo threatened.
Neveah didn't know what to say. She was the only one in the room, except Timmy of course, who knew Timmy was a werewolf. She just stared at the crescent moon as it appeared and the sun disappeared.
"Oh, snap", Timmy muttered. He went for the door, but stopped when the transformation began. He fell to the floor, moaning softly.
"Timmy, are you all right?" Kyo asked, kneeling at his side.
"Stay away from me." Timmy said softly.
Kyo quickly backed away as he transformed. Large, sharp fangs grew from his mouth, his fur became thicker and coarser, and a wolf-like tail sprouted from his spine. His pupils became slits and his snout grew longer. He let out a loud scream as his skeleton cracked as it became more like a wolves'. When the transformation was complete, he let out a blood-curdling howl, and fell to the floor, unconscious.
When he woke up a few hours later, Kyo was sitting next to him, comforting him, and trying to wake him up. When she woke him up, his bright, yellow eyes shot open. At this, Neveah and Will backed away.
"What… the heck… are you doing?" Will whispered. He was shivering and shuddering in fear.
Kyo just ignored him. She was too concentrated on staying calm and comforting Timmy.
"Are you even listening to me?" Will whispered again trying to get her attention. She just waved her hand at him to go away.
Suddenly, Timmy shot a look at her and snarled, making her back away. Showing his dagger-sharp teeth, he cornered her, making sure she had no escape.
There was then a crash and everyone looked at the door. Standing there was the werewolf form of Lorieli, snarling at Timmy. Timmy glance at Kyo, then walked over to Lorieli.
Kyo tip-toed away and her, Will, and Neveah ran out the door. Once Timmy and Lorieli realized that their meal had gone, they ran out the door after Timmy's own friends.
Once they had caught up to their prey, Lorieli lunged forward trying to drag Will toward her. She missed, barely nicking his foot. Without noticing, he kept running for his life.
"Hey, genius! Any bright ideas?" Kyo shouted to Will.
"Err… Keep running?" Will suggested.
"Great idea!" Kyo said sarcastically.
"Thanks!" Will said, taking her comment seriously.
"I was being sarcastic, stupid!" Kyo shot back.
"I knew that."
When the got outside, it was harder to run, as there was snow on the ground. Neveah tried hard to run through Kyo and Will's pre-made tracks. Neveah suddenly realized that that wasn't going to work; she grabbed Neveah and carried her.
"Thanks, Kyo!" Neveah thanked.
"Anytime." Kyo replied.
This time, Timmy lunged forward and dug his claws into Will's already wounded foot.
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" Will screamed in pain. He kicked and Timmy finally let go. "We are in such deep shit!"
"Enough with your profanity!" Kyo scolded Will.
"We're about to die! I can say what the fuck I want!"
"Good point." Kyo said. "But you're taking this too seriously!"
"Too seriously! I'm not taking this seriously enough!" Will panicked.
"Kyo's right. Now's not the time for potty-mouthing." Neveah agreed.
Timmy and Lorieli crept toward them, waiting to strike their victims. Just as Neveah saw them stalking, the two werewolves froze as the sun rose. Timmy fell unconscious. Lorieli nudged him to get up. They then slowly transformed back; Lorieli as calm as if it didn't hurt.
Kyo and Will attempted to carry Timmy back to his room. When they finally walked into his room, Neveah on Kyo's shoulder, Kyo and Will laid Timmy on his bed.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Kyo, her eyes level with his, their nosed about and inch away.
"Are you alright?" Kyo asked.
"Whoa!" Timmy screamed, quite surprised. "What were you trying to do, kiss me?"
"Maybe." Kyo said. "If you want me too, I will." Timmy blushed at this.
"How long was I out?" He asked.
"For days!" Kyo cried.
"Seriously!"
"Just kidding."
