Revenge
Kori-Starfan93: Now this chapter will take place when Luna's 6 and Nighty's 5 ½ okay. Remember, Luna is 7 months older than Nightingale so… basically 4 years later.

"Mommy, Mommy!" cried Luna as she ran down the hall to her mother. In her hand she clutched her very first report card. "Mommy, I got my first report card!" Kori came out of her room and smiled. She took the report card and looked at it. She smiled again and hugged her daughter very tightly.
"Mommy's so proud of you Luna! You're such a smart little girl!" Luna giggled and went to color in some coloring books. Richard came out from the bathroom and asked,
"What's with all the yelling? You're not pregnant again are you?" Kori laughed.
"Not yet, but Luna got her first report card today. She got A's and one B." Richard looked at the report card and raised an eyebrow.
"That can't be right; she's got an A in math. Not even I'm good at…" Kori was now glaring at him and that was his cue to shut up. He inched his way to Luna's room as Kori continued to glare at him. When he was safely inside Luna's room, Kori laughed so hard that tears formed in her eyes. Richard came running and yelled,
"That was not funny! I thought you were going to kill me!" Kori still continued to laugh. Richard eventually let out a small chuckle and they left the hallway to do… things.

Luna was busy drawing a picture now. She was a good drawer for her age. Luna heard the phone ring and dashed off to get it.
"Hello?" there was an eerie silence on the other end. Finally someone spoke up.
"What is your name?" a cold voice asked.
"Luna." she answered plainly. Strangely, her parents had not come out.
"Your last name?" it asked again. Luna was getting a bit scared.
"I can't tell you since you're a stranger. Now I have to hang up. Bye." she hung up the phone and sighed. The phone rang again and yet again, she picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello!" said a cheery voice. Luna recognized the voice right away.
"Hiya Uncle Garfield!" she replied.
"Hi Luna. Are your parents there?"
"Yes, I'll go get them. Hold on." she gently set down the phone and went to her parents' room. She knocked on the door and yelled, "Mommy! Daddy! Uncle Garfield's on the phone!"
"Okay, tell we'll talk to him in just a minute!" Kori's voice replied. Luna smiled and went back to the phone.
"They'll be here in a minute. So watcha want?" she asked.
"Well, Nightingale was wondering if you could spend the night again and we're okay with that, we're just wondering if it's okay with your parents." Gar explained.
"Hello." Kori said suddenly from the phone in her room.
"Hiya Kori. You hear all that?"
"Sure did."
"Mommy can I please go!" Luna begged.
"Of course you can. You haven't seen Nighty for a while." Luna cheered and hung up the phone. She ran to her room and got her backpack that was used for this purpose. It was purple and very sparkle-y. She got her Happy Bunny pajamas. The pants were a dark pink and had a smiling bunny all over them. The shirt was long-sleeved and white. It had happy bunny on it and it said 'It's all about me.' She then packed clothes for the next day. She chose a denim skirt with a flowery border at the bottom. She also got a sleeveless shirt that had a sparkle-y lady bug on it. She then packed a pillow, a blanket, her toothbrush, her toothpaste, her brush, and of course, extra underwear.
"Luna! Your Aunt Rachael's going to pick you up! She'll be here in a few minutes!" Kori yelled from the kitchen. Luna ran excitedly out of her room and into the living room. Luna put her backpack down next to the couch and got her shoes on. She heard some deep breathing and saw that her dad was fast asleep on the couch. With a magazine on top of his face. She took the magazine and looked at what he was looking at. Luna smirked. Boy was her dad going to get it now. She knew that her mom would get mad if he looked at stuff like this.
"Mommy! Daddy's being a bad boy again." Luna brought the magazine to her mom and Kori got boiling mad. But she didn't show it.
"Luna, could you wake up daddy for me?" Luna smiled and nodded her head. She shook her dad as hard as she could, but he wouldn't wake up. Luna was about to say something when her mom said,
"Just yell." Luna drew in a huge breath and screamed.
"DADDY! WAKE UP!" Richard was taken by surprise and quickly rolled off of the couch. He stood up and the magazine was accurately thrown at his face. Luna and Kori started to laugh hysterically.
"That was not funny!" he yelled. They continued to laugh until the doorbell rang. Luna opened it and yelled,
"Auntie Rachael!" she hugged her 'aunt' very tightly.
"When will you bring her back?" Kori asked.
"Will around noon be good for you?" Kori nodded.
"It doesn't matter, as long as…"
"You never bring her back!" Richard spoke up jokingly. Kori slapped him upside the head and continued.
"As long as she gets back sometime tomorrow." Rachael laughed a bit and nodded. With Luna still clung to her leg, she walked to the car.
"Okay Loony Luna, you've got to let go." Luna giggled and let go of her leg. She climbed into the car and strapped herself in.

"Daddy, when's Mommy and Luna gonna get here?" Nightingale asked her dad.
"I'm not sure Nighty. But it'll be soon, trust me." Nightingale continued to stare out the window until Rachael pulled into the driveway. She ran outside and hugged Luna tightly.
"Hiya Luna."
"Hiya Nighty!"
"Come on, my room looks really cool, you've got to see!" Nighty grabbed Luna by the wrist and they ran to her room.
They entered Nighty's dark room. Nighty's favorite color was dark violet. And that's the color that almost everything was. The walls were dark violet, with black curtains. Her circular bed had dark blue sheets and blankets and her pillow was light blue. On the walls were black birds. Her toys were scattered across the room, but other than that, her room was very tidy. Her few books were arranged very neatly on her bookshelf. Her desk was very organized (Of course her mom organized it.) and the bed was also made.
"Wow. Your room looks so cool!" Luna said, still looking around. Nighty smiled proudly.
"I chose the colors myself."
"So what are we going to do tonight?" Luna asked, looking at the books on the bookshelf.
"Come on, I found some neat stuff in the garage!" Nightingale grabbed Luna's wrist again and led her around. In the garage, there were many boxes. And I mean many, as in a lot. Nightingale pulled out one from the corner and opened it. There were clothes that Luna had never seen before. A blue cloak, black leotard, and a belt with red jewels.
"Nighty, that dark colored outfit would look very nice on you." Luna commented. Nightingale nodded and pulled out another outfit. It was black and purple, with grey gloves, and purple and black shoes.
"Cool!" Luna said.
"That isn't even the best part! I never noticed this picture here!" Nighty picked up a picture and dusted it off. "Luna, isn't that your mom?" she handed the picture to Luna and she stared at it for a few minutes.
"Yeah, that is my mom. Who are these other people!" she pointed at the other people around her mom.
"Let's ask my mom."
"Okay!" they both trotted off, unaware that both outfits were surrounded by a dark energy, being levitated in the air.

"Richard! If you want dinner you better get out here right now before I eat it all! And you know how hungry I can get!" Kori yelled. Richard ran to the kitchen like there was no tomorrow. Kori laughed a bit as he sat down.
"What? Can't a guy sit down in peace?" Kori laughed harder. He rolled his eyes. "Apparently not."
They ate their dinner in silence. Except for occasional giggles from Kori.
After their dinner, Kori was washing the dishing when she got a dizzy feeling. 'Not again.' she thought. She lied down on the couch and rested for a while. Kori was still laying there when Richard came out for some reason.
"Kori, are you feeling okay? You look a little pale."
"I'm just feeling a little dizzy, that's all. I'll get a glass of water and I'll feel better in a bit." she replied. Kori got up from the couch and stumbled her way over to the kitchen. Before she could even reach for the cupboard, she fainted.
"Kori!" Richard yelled, catching her before she hit the floor. He took her to the bed and set her down. 'She has been acting a bit strange lately. Major mood swings, morning sickness, and larger appetite?' He was thinking that this had all happened before. But he just couldn't put his finger on it.
The phone rang, snapping him out of his trance. He picked it up and was about to say hello when someone yelled,
"We've got a big problem over here! Our kids are developing their powers! And it's causing heck over here! Good-bye!" the person, who Richard recognized as Rachael, hung up. 'Great, more problems, that's just what I need.' he thought.

The girls' powers were making things go hectic. Nighty and Luna were madbecause Rachael had taken the picture away from them and didn't tell them who those people were. Things were flying everywhere and Luna's hands were burning.
"Mommy, make it stop!" Nightingale cried. Luna started to lose her anger because the starbolts were burning her hands. The objects that were encased in black energy were encased by another layer of dark energy and were set down. Rachael slowly approached the 2 girls. Luna collapsed and was unconscious. She carried Luna to the couch and had Nightingale sit on the recliner. Someone knocked on the door and Gar answered it.
"Oh thank the Lord you guys are here! The girls just calmed down, but Luna's unconscious." Kori and Richard ran in and saw Luna lying on the couch. Kori carefully examined Luna's scorched hands.
"She's going to need those hand-guards." she whispered under her breath. The others watched her as she got a cold cloth and wiped Luna's hands. After that, she opened up the purse she was carrying and pulled out hand-guards (That's what I call them!) that were smaller than hers, but identical. She slipped them on and Richard said,
"Kori, she's gonna stand out. He'll find us if…" she put a finger to his lips.
"I know she'll stand out. But her hands need protection. Being outside as much as she is and being as emotional as she is, she'll have to wear them or her hands will be burnt to crisps."
"Could you please explain that to us a bit more?" Gar asked. Kori sighed.
"Since Luna has is half Tamaranian, her powers are like mine. The more solar energy she absorbs, the more energy she has. The reason I never took off those hand-guards is because those starbolts are extremely hot. Those hand-guards prevented the burning from occurring, and they will do the same for Luna." she explained. Gar perked up his ears and heard his 2 boys crying. He went to get the boys and the others were silent. They were all thinking the same thing:
How were they going to keep this hidden?
