Cam held Sonny's tiny frame in a bone-breaking hug.

"Oh Sonny..." He whispered into her ear. "I'm so sorry." Sonny sniffled and leaned her head against Cam's shoulder.

"It's not your fault." The tiny voice came. "I should have been more careful." She chocked out before burying her face in the crook of his neck again. Tori and Blake came hurrying around the corner and stopped short of the crying Sonny and Cam.

"Sonny?" Tori asked. Sonny looked up at the first friend she had ever made in Blue Bay Harbor, with tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

"Tori, it took my voice." Sonny croaked. Tori hurried over to Sonny, dropped to her knees and enveloped her friend in a giant hug. Blake helped Cam up.

"It was Kapri, she took her voice away. Now she won't be able to audition." Cam whispered to Blake angrily. He was angry. More than angry, he was furious that someone would take a beautiful voice, like Sonny's away. Tori helped Sonny stand up. All the crying had made her weak.

"I'm going to take Sonny home and I'll meet up with you guys in a bit ok?" Tori said. Blake and Cam nodded, and Tori guided Sonny out to the van. Cam watched Sonny leave. It was the second time in a row she had been hurt and he hadn't been around to help her. Blake saw the guilt in his friend's eyes.

"Come on, let's go to Ninja Opts." He said. "See if your double's got anything." Cam nodded as the two left.

Shane, Hunter, Cam, Blake and Dustin stood in Ninja Opts, waiting to see if CyberCam had any news. He looked at them.

"Nothing." He said.

"Is there anything we can do?" Cam asked desperately. "I mean, her audition is in two days."

"I can try to find something." CyberCam said. "But I can't make any promises."

"Come on." Hunter said, placing a hand on Cam's shoulder. "Let's just go see how she's doing."

"I don't think I should." Cam sighed. "This is all my fault." The others looked at him.

"You tried to get to her before anything happened." Blake said. "You can't be hard on yourself man, you didn't know."

"But I should've!" Cam insisted. "I'm supposed to be Cam, the know it all. I'm supposed to know everything! I should've been able to protect her!" He went off to his room. The others went to follow. Sensei stopped them.

"I believe that Cam needs to be alone right now." He said. They nodded.

"All right." Shane said. "Let's go." He said to the others. They left Ninja Opts.

"Here, drink this." Kelly said as she handed Sonny a mug full of lemon tea with honey in it.

"Kels, this is the third cup of this stuff you've given me." Sonny croaked. "I'll be sweating honey soon."

"It'll help your voice. And don't talk." Kelly ordered. She gave her a pad and pen. "Use this." Sonny rolled her eyes. Kelly looked at Tori.

"I've got to get back to the store. Are you ok with staying with her?" She asked. Tori nodded and smiled.

"Yeah."

"I-" Sonny began. Kelly looked at her. Sonny groaned and wrote on the paper. She held it up to her cousin and Tori.

I don't need a babysitter!

"You're sick." Kelly reasoned. "And Tori's staying here, whether you like it or not." Sonny glared at her. There was a knock on the door. Kelly went to open the front door to see Shane, Dustin, Hunter and Blake. "Hey guys."

"Hey." They said. She let the boys into the house. "I'll see you guys later. Oh, and Tori, make sure she doesn't talk." Kelly said as she walked out the door. The note pad went sailing across the room. The guys had to duck to keep from getting hit by it.

"Uh.Hi." Dustin said. "Great to see you too."

"I meant to hit my cousin." Sonny grumbled. She looked at Tori. "If you tell me not to speak I will hurt you."

"I didn't say anything." Tori chuckled.

"Keep it that way." Sonny sighed. She looked at the guys. "Where's Cam?" She asked.

"Uh, something came up." Blake said. "He said he'll try to stop by later." Sonny nodded.

"All right." She sighed and settled into the couch she was lying on.

"So, you ok?" Hunter asked.

"Do I sound ok?" Sonny responded, somewhat harshly. She sighed again. "Sorry. I just, am not feeling really happy and friendly right now."

"It's ok." Hunter nodded understandingly.

"So, did you tell Kelly what happened?" Blake asked sitting down next to Tori. The other guys sat in the living room as well.

"You mean did I tell her some chick with pink hair sucked my voice out from me?" She asked. "No. Don't need her thinking I'm crazy or whatever."

"We don't think you're crazy." Shane assured her. Sonny smiled for the first time since her ordeal went down.

"Thanks." She said. "I just wish everything was OK. Ya know? I just wish I could just wake up and see this was all just some anxiety dream or something."

"I'm sure everything'll be ok." Tori said, patting Sonny's hand gently.

"Yeah." Blake nodded.

"What the hell did they want with my voice anyway?" Sonny muttered.

"Here you go." Kapri said, handing a vial to Songstra. The vial had Sonny's voice. Kapri had intensified it a few decibels and made it into a potion for Songstra. "Drink up." She said. Songstra did as she was told. Kapri reached over and put a set of ear muffs on her ears. "All right, let 'er rip." She yelled. Songstra opened her mouth. Out came a loud, strong, yet also hautingly beautiful, sound. Kapri saw some Kelzacks holding their heads and withering to the ground. She smiled as she saw the vial in Songstra's hand shatter to pieces. "All right, good." Kapri yelled. The sound continued. "ALL RIGHT!" Kapri repeated. Songstra didn't hear her. Kapri smacked Songstra's arm. Songstra stopped. "I said, that's enough." She said. Songstra nodded apologetically.

"Sorry." She muttered sheepishly. "I couldn't hear you."

"I think you deafened the Kelzacks." Lothor said from his throne, pulling off his own set of earmuffs. He grinned. "I like it."
