Chapter 4: A Visit from Old Friends

[Time Skip: Three months later...]

"So...this is the place?"

Rad had told Enid that he found a house in the quiet part of town that she and Red Action could live in, the mortgage was cheap since the house was abandoned and going to be torn down, but Mr. Gar bought it and said he'd cover the expenses for Enid so she could just focus on taking care of her girlfriend and child.

The house was old and a little rickety but with some hard work, a good paint job and some elbow grease, it could be made into a home. "Well its...something alright but I think we can make it work", said Enid. "Come on, let's check out the inside", said Rad.

They walked inside of the house, it was a bit dusty but still livable in some way. "We just gotta fix some of the broken floorboards, do some dusting and painting, and bring in some new furniture and this place will look awesome. I got some of that stuff from the hardware store in my van, let's go get it", said Rad.

Just as Rad and Enid were about to walk outside to get their hardware supplies, they heard a creaking noise all around them. Then there was a harsh gust of wind blowing through the air even though the windows were closed, "Oooh...who trespasses on my haunt?!", a disembodied voice spoke.

"Aww crud! This house is haunted!", Rad shouted as he shook with fear. He looked over at Enid who was shaking her head while chuckling, "Enid, what's so funny?! There's a ghost in here! You and Red Action can't live here!", he shouted. Enid smirked at him, "I'm laughing because I know this ghost. Come on out, Phantasma", she said.

Just then, the wind and creaking noise stopped as a ghostly girl emerged from the floor. "Oh Enid, you never were so easily spooked!", she said. Yup, it was Phantasma, one of Enid's old friends from her time at Ghoul School; she pulled herself up out of the floor and floated over to Enid to hug her. "Oh sorry, is this your house?", asked Rad.

Phantasma laughed, "Oh no, this isn't my home. I was just having fun haunting this place. You must be Rad, nice to meet you. So Enid, what are you doing here?", she said. Enid sighed, "Why don't we invite the others over here first before I explain. You girls are my friends too, so I think you should about what's going on", she said.

Phantasma nodded in agreement as she pulled out a phone to call Enid's other Ghoul School friends.

[Time Skip]

In about thirty minutes, all of Enid's other Ghoul School friends: Elsa Frankenteen, Sibella, Winnie and Tanis, had come to the old house to see their old friend. Once they were all together, Enid, with Rad's help, explained to them that her girlfriend was pregnant and how her other friends have been helping with everything they needed since her parents had kicked her out.

When they were told that Enid's parents kicked her out, the monster girls all gasped and looked at her with sadness.

"Oh that's just awful!", said Sibella.

"We're sorry that happened to you, Enid", said Elsa.

"Yeah, I couldn't imagine how that must feel. To know your parents want nothing to do with you!", said Winnie.

Enid sighed, "Well...I made a mistake and it wasn't a small one either. I can understand why they'd be upset", she said.

"Still, it's not right that they just kicked you when you needed them most!", said Tanis.

"That's why I told Enid to stop trying to reach them. They haven't answered her calls or returned them, so they've made their choice. They don't want to be part of their daughter's or their grandchild's life, so Enid shouldn't be wasting her time with them and should focus on Red Action and her baby", said Rad.

"Good call! And as for you, Enid...we're going to help you out too! Starting with helping you spruce up this old house and make it into a perfect home for you and your girlfriend!", said Phantasma.

Enid smiled, it warmed her heart knowing she had more friends willing to help her and Red Action; it didn't completely heal the emotional wound inflicted upon her by her parents turning their backs on her, but it did help. "Thanks girls, I'm glad to know that there's still people I can rely on", she said.

Her friends moved in to pull her into a group hug, "Okay, now let's this place!", she said.

[Time Skip]

Meanwhile, Red Action was back at the Plaza, sitting at a bench near the bodega; she sat there looking through her phone while resting a hand on her now greatly distended belly. Red Action was now six months pregnant, most of the more annoying symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness had seemed to have calmed down a bit but it was still a problem.

But aside from that, things have been going pretty well for her. Her other visits to her obstetrician have shown that her baby is still strong and healthy, and her friends have been a big help for her.

Right now, she was taking it easy since Enid was busy checking out the house Rad found, and was just hanging around the Plaza waiting for her to come back.

"Hey there, Red Action. You doing okay?"

Red Action looked up from her phone to see KO standing in front of her along with his friend Dendy, "Yeah. I'm okay, kiddo. Thanks for checking on me", she said. "So its true, you are pregnant. That really is intriguing", said Dendy. This made Red Action giggle since she was aware of how of an intellectual Dendy was and she was probably fascinated by the idea of a woman impregnating another woman.

"Um, Red Action...can I...can I touch your tummy?", KO asked innocently. Red Action smiled affectionately at him as she reached down and gently took his hand in hers before placing it against her swollen stomach; Dendy also reached over to place her hand upon her stomach as well.

Red Action giggled at the wide eyed expression on KO's face, it was simply adorable how amazed he was as he gently ran his hand along her stomach. "Wow! This is so cool! Mommy told me that I was in her belly just like this a long time ago, it's so weird seeing this happening to someone else", he said in wonderment.

"It truly is a fascinating and quite frankly, beautiful part of nature", said Dendy.

Just then, KO flinched and pulled his hand away. "KO, what's wrong?", asked Dendy. "Yeah, you okay kiddo?", asked Red Action. KO pointed at Red Action's belly with a fearful expression, "I felt something move! Something inside of your tummy, it was really creepy!", he said.

That's when Red Action and Dendy started laughing, "KO, calm down. That movement you was merely the baby kicking you", Dendy said. KO's fearful expression melted away to one of curiosity, "Oh...that's actually pretty cool! Your baby is super strong, they're gonna be an awesome hero!", he said.

Just then, the small group was approached by a familiar face.

"Hello KO, have you seen Enid?"

KO looked behind him to see Elodie standing before him and his friends, "Oh hi Elodie. Enid's not here, she went with Rad to check out her new house", he said. Elodie nodded in understanding before looking up at Red Action, "Oh you must be Enid's girlfriend, Red Action. It's nice to meet you", she said.

"Oh so you're Elodie, nice to meet you too. Why are you looking for Enid?", she said. Elodie chuckled, "Its because I actually wanted to meet you. Enid told me so much about you the last time we spoke to each other. I heard you two were having a baby and I wanted to get to know you", she said.

Red Action smirked as she patted the spot on the bench next to her, "Well then, take a seat. I've heard a lot about you from Enid too and I was pretty curious myself", she said.

Dendy looked at KO, "I think we should leave these two alone while they talk", she said. KO nodded as he and Dendy went back inside of the bodega.

[Time Skip]

Back at the old house, thanks to Enid and her friends, it was actually looking more like a real house. They went through each room, fixing all the broken floorboards and windows, dusting and sweeping the floor before mopping it and tossing out the old furniture.

Then they pulled out the cans of paint from the back of Rad's van started painting the walls inside and outside of the house. He carried up a can of purple paint to the roof where he helped Sibella and Phantasma paint the roof since they can all fly while Enid painted the walls with Elsa, Winnie and Tanis.

After they stopped to have lunch while the paint dried, Rad called the movers to bring the new furniture, as well as a plumber, an electrician and carpenters. As the movers set up the furniture with Enid instructing them what position she wanted the furniture in, the plumber went to the kitchen and bathroom to connect the sinks, bathtub and toilet to the main plumbing line.

Then Rad instructed the carpenters to lay down purple carpeting in both the bedroom and the nursery; once they were all done, Rad pulled out the money Mr. Gar had given him so he could pay for everything.

When everything was done, Enid looked up to get a good view of her new house. "It looks really good! I like it!", she said. Indeed, the house did look rather nice: it was two stories tall with a purple roof and off white walls; the frames of the windows were a dark brown color, there were two tall potted plants on either side of the red front door and a red welcome mat sat on the doorstep.

Rad panted as he drank a glass of water, "Yeah, it's perfect! Now this house is a home!", he said. Enid's Ghoul School friends brought her close for a group hug, "Oh Enid, it's such a beautiful home!", said Sibella. "Yeah, it's the perfect place to group in! Especially with the peace and quiet", said Phantasma.

Enid smiled, "Thanks girls. Well, now that the house is finished, what do we do?", she asked. That's when Winnie got an idea, "Ooh ooh! Let's break in the new house by throwing a baby shower!", she said. Everyone agreed that a baby shower was the perfect way to break in her new home but Enid wasn't so sure.

"I don't know, we just finished sprucing this place up and that took us hours. I really don't wanna trash it with a huge party-"

"Too late, Enid. I've already sent out invites!"

"Wait...what?!"

Enid was stunned to hear that Rad had used his social media to send invitations to all their friends stating that they were throwing a baby shower in her new house. Enid groaned as she ran a hand across her face, "Ugh! Oh well, at least this way Red can get settled into the new house and you guys will get to meet her", she said to her monster friends.

The girls became excited, "This is gonna be so much fun!", said Elsa. "Oh there's so much we have to do! We need to go buy some decorations and balloons and a cake!", said Tanis. "Why don't you girls go and get that stuff from the party store? Me and Enid will go back to the Plaza and pick Red up", said Rad.

[Time Skip]

Meanwhile, there was someone who wasn't feeling so joyous at the moment. Lord Boxman was pacing back and forth in his office, a look of frustration on his face; three of his robots: Darrell, Shannon and Raymond, were all standing near the doorway, watching their "father" pacing while grumbling to himself.

"Should we ask him what's wrong?", asked Darrell.

"I'm not asking him! You ask him!?", said Shannon.

"Well one of us should! His behavior is quite worrisome", said Raymond.

That's when Boxman stopped pacing and turned to his robotic minions/children, "I'll tell you what's wrong, you tin cans! Those meddlesome Plaza heroes have been ignoring me for months! They barely acknowledge my attacks on their precious Plaza and I'm tired of it! Why are they ignoring me?!", he shouted as he kept pacing.

It was true: ever since Red Action became pregnant, Enid and her friends had been putting all their focus into taking care of her and getting what they needed for her and the baby. And in doing so, they had been paying no heed to Boxman and his attempts at destroying the Plaza.

Every time he sent a box with his robots inside to attack, Rad and Enid would shove them back into the box, weld it shut and then KO would throw it into the air and send it back to Boxmore with a power fist. They did this every time he attacked because taking care of Red Action and her unborn baby was more important than battling Boxman's robots.

"Well Daddy, it could be because that ninja girl is gonna be a Mom", said Darrell.

Boxman stopped dead in his tracks and looked at him, "Wait what?", he asked. "Indeed Father, news has spread about the girlfriend of that Enid girl becoming pregnant. Perhaps that's the reason for the Plaza heroes ignoring you", said Raymond. "Yeah, he's right. They must be so busy taking care of her that they don't want to deal with you. I think her girlfriend's name is...Red Action or something?", said Shannon.

Boxman looked out the window, across the street over at the Plaza, to see Red Action sitting at a bench with Elodie; the girls were talking and laughing as Boxman watched them, noticing Red Action laying her hand on her swollen belly.

"That must be her across the street talking to that other hero! To think, those fools think she's more worth their time than I am!", he sneered.

"So...what are you gonna do about it, Daddy?", asked Darrell.

Boxman took a moment to think about what to do, "I have to get those fools to pay me attention again! And I know just how to do it, and you three are going to help me with that!", he said as he opened the blinds and pointed to where Red Action was. He didn't have to say anything for them to exactly what he wanted them to do and it made them gasp.

"But Father...she is with child!", said Raymond.

"That just means she'll be too vulnerable and weak to fight back!", said Boxman.

[Time Skip]

Red Action and Elodie sat together as they talked, "You know, Elodie, you're really cool. I'm glad we met", said Red Action. "And I'm glad to have met you as well, Red Action. I can see why Enid cares deeply for you, you're quite the engaging individual", said Elodie.

Just then, both of their cellphones beeped. They looked at their phones to see the social media post Rad made about the baby shower, "Oh seems like she's throwing you a baby shower in your new home. How wonderful! I'm going to head into the bodega and tell KO about this. Will you be alright out here by yourself, Red Action?", said Elodie.

"Yeah, I'll be alright. Enid's coming to pick me up anyway", said Red Action. Elodie nodded as she got up and headed into the bodega; Red Action looked down at her phone and texted her girlfriend.

Hey babe! I'm here waiting for ya at the Plaza.

Okay. Rad and I will be there soon!

Love you ;)

Love you too ;)

Red Action then placed her phone back in her pocket as she sat and waited for her girlfriend to come and get her, her mind distracted to the point where she hadn't heard something sneaking up behind her.

Suddenly, a metallic hand appeared out of no where and pressed a cloth to Red Action's face. She let out a muffled scream as she tried to shake off her attacker, but she was already vulnerable due to the fatigue caused by her pregnancy. Not only that, but the cloth was wet with something; something that gave off a strange smell that was making Red Action feel dizzy.

That was when her will to fight back disappeared when she finally lost consciousness. Turns out, the metallic hand belonged to Raymond who, as he was ordered by Boxman, to sneak up behind Red Action and knock her out with a cloth doused in chloroform before taking her back to Boxmore.

"Please forgive me for this. I was only following orders", Raymond whispered to the unconscious girl as he lifted her up into his arms carefully and carried her back to Boxmore.
