Crazy trouble with love part 9

Wilhamena and KO

Series: OK KO

xxxxxxxxxxxx

"Heeyah!" yelled KO, delivering a left hook that knocked Darrell back and crashing him into a lamp post and made his head spin from the impact.

"Nice one KO!" Enid called as she and Rad were both attacking Shannon.

KO smiled with a thumbs up while Darrell got up with a growl.

"You call that an attack? This is an attack!" His hands turned into blasters before he started shooting lasers at the child. "Nyehehehehe! Take that, and that, and that!"

KO went wide eyed and scrambled to avoid the laser fire while Shannon laughed and spun around, her hands becoming saw blades and making Rad and Enid jump back.

"Come on you stupid fleshlings, I'll chop you up real good!"

"Ugh, just give it a rest and let us beat you already, you know we will." Spoke Enid sounding tired while rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, this is kinda the same as every other time, you know that right?" Asked Rad casually while crossing his arms with a smirk. "I'll bet I could beat you without moving from this spot."

"Oh yeah? You're on!" Se smirked and spun around like a top at him with the blades nearing him, but before they could touch, he held his finger out and stopped her instantly by covering her in his powers. "Hey!"

"See? Told ya." He said as he lifted her up before throwing her back to the factory.

"Nooooo faaaaaair!" she let out, crashing through the roof of it and falling to pieces when she crashed onto a catwalk, which is where Boxmore was typing at a console before looking up and turned his head, then looked down when Shannon's head rolled at his feet. "Uh, hey daddy."

"Shannon? Did you get defeated, yet again?"

"...maybe?" She said sheepishly.

Boxmore sighed and shook his head before picking up the head. "You know, right now I should be FUMING with rage, but luckily for you I'm not." he smirked before tossing her head aside and went back to typing with an evil grin.

"Really?" she looked surprised.

"Yes, for now I have a device that shall destroy that plaza for good!" He laughed and moved over to a tarped object while rubbing his hands. "A device that is foolproof! Behold!" He grabbed it and yanked it off, showing off what looked like a large grandfather clock with several cables hooked up to it. "A time machine!"

"Um…. I'm confused, how will this destroy the plaza?"

"Seriously?" He frowned with his hands on his hips. "Don't you kids know anything about time?"

"No, you gave us digital clocks in our brains."

"...I'll have to work on that, but anyway, the beauty of this is that with it, I shall ensure the plaza never existed." he laughed while rubbing his hands. "You see, time is always moving, never stopping, but if one thing is changed, even the slightest thing, it can have IMMENSE changes to the future. This is called the Butterfly Effect."

"Oh! Ok, I think I get it, so you'll kill a butterfly to alter time?"

"What? No, I mean that- augh! No, the plan is I'll send one of those brats back in time and they'll mess up the timeline, erasing the plaza from history!" he clarified with a frown. "All it takes is one thing to change it, and bringing it someone from the far future back in time would cause so much damage, the entire town itself probably won't exist, ensuring that accursed bodega can't be there ever!"

"Oh! That makes more sense now." she smiled, making him roll his eye before Darrell's head came crashing through and bounced on the catwalk.

"Ow… oh, hi daddy!"

"Ugh, why am I not surprised?" Boxmore groaned.

"Oooh, is that a big clock?"

"Get real Darrell, it's a time machine, duh." spoke Shannon smugly while rolling her eyes. "Daddy's gonna use it to get rid of the plaza."

"Oh, cool! Use it to get rid of that little brat, KO!"

"Well it won't work unless one of those brats-" He was cut off when KO came landing in through the hole and at the ready. "Is here."

"It's over Boxmore, you'll never destroy the plaza! Also I forgot to send over Darrell's body." he smiled while tossing said mangled body over next to the head who gasped.

"Oh you're gonna get it now!" he growled. "Hit him with the clock daddy!"

"I'm not going to hit him with it!" he yelled with KO looking at it and confused.

"It's...a big clock?"

"It's a time machine!" He yelled before running to the console and typed in some stuff with a chuckle. "And you're about to see what it does!"

"Wait, a time machine?' he said as the middle of the clock opened up and a light shot out at him. His eyes widened as he covered his face, his whole body covered in it as Boxmore let out a triumphant laugh.

"HAHAHA! You're doomed now, doomed, DOOOOOOOOMED!"

Shannon and Darrell watched with awe at the light, right as Rad and Enid landed in through the same hole.

"KO!" They cried as the small boy disappeared with a pop.

"What did you do to him?!" Enid shouted as she ran over and grabbed Boxmore.

"I sent him back, back to destroy the plaza!" He laughed maniacally. "Now your precious plaza will fade away from time!"

"Noooo!" Rad called out as Enid frowned as Shannon's head hopped around to look at the control panel.

"Um, Daddy? Why is there a part of the screen that's full of question marks?"

"Not now Shannon, daddy is enjoying this moment!"

"Um… it says that you didn't put in a destination."

Boxmore stopped laughing and looked at the console curiously and paled as his pupil shrank. "Oh no, no no no! I can't believe it!"

"What, what is it you creep?!"

"I-I forgot to make sure he'd end up at the plaza in the past, all he'd done is gone back to the past in a random part of the world!"

"What?!" the two cried out before Enid ran over and knocked Boxmore down and grabbed the front of his clothes.

"Bring him back, now!"

"I-I can't, I'd have to find him first, and that alone could take weeks, and even if I did I-I don't want too!" he spoke up with a frown. "Your friend is lost somewhere in time, all on his own. For all you know he's with the dinosaurs right now."

"If you don't bring him back I will put a curse on you, I'm part witch damn it!" she glared while picking him up off his feet. "And that's mild compared to what Mr. Gar and KO's own mom will do when they find out."

"Ha! Do your worst." he smirked while crossing his arms. "Nothing you do will make me change my mind."

"I'll curse you to stare at the plaza forever, unable to move away or say anything, just watching it forever!" She shouted as she shook Boxmore.

"Yeah, and then you'll have to deal with me." spoke Rad cracking his knuckles.

N-No, I won't do it!"

'I wonder where he is?' Shannon thought as Boxmore, Rad and Enid argued. As they did that we cut to KO who was falling through a colorful abyss full of different clocks.

"Ahhhhhh!" he screamed, flailing his arms and legs around while unable to tell up from down. He was bounced around like a ping pong ball before a hole opened up, letting him fall through before closing. "Ahhhhh!" he let out before he found himself crashing through a tree, hitting the leaves, and hanging upside down from one of the branches. "Oww…." he groaned as he tried to get his bearings. "Oooh….what happened? Where am I?" he rubbed his head while looking around and noted he was in some kind of dark and spooky looking forest. "How'd I get all the way out here?"

He looked at the branch and managed to get free, and fell down on his butt with a groan and got up before calling out around him. "Hello? Is anyone out there?"

All he got was ominous crows cawing around with some of them staring at him from some dead branches, unnerving him.

"Ok, m-maybe there's someone around here, I just have to look." He gulped feeling a bit nervous and started walking down a dirt road that was beside the tree while keeping his eyes peeled. 'Just stay calm, there has to be someone who will help me, right?'

"Caw caw!"

"He-Hello?!" He called out, growing more and more nervous. "Is anyone there?" He called as he kept walking.

All he got was silence and swore some of the trees that were twisted at odd angles around him had faces that were staring at him, making him shiver.

'I-I should keep moving.' He thought as he began to walk a bit faster.

As he kept going, he started to spot something up ahead.

'Is that a house?' He squinted his eyes and noticed there looked like several pointy and tall rooftops. "Oh! It's a town!" He said as he began to run towards it. 'Yes, now I can get out of these creepy woods!'

He soon came upon a dreary and metal archway, but noticed how the street was made of stones with the houses on the sides of it looking different than what he was used to.

'Why do they all look so old and evil?' He pondered with the houses looking medieval and made of straw and brick as he walked down the street and rubbed his arms. "And why does it feel so chilly?" He thought out loud as he looked down at what he was wearing. 'Then again I am wearing a t-shirt and shorts.'

"Hoo hoo."

KO turned his head and saw an owl perched on a nearby lamp post that didn't have a light, but some lantern hanging off it, staring at him. "Oh, hey there mister owl, you almost spooked me." he chuckled.

"Hoo hoo."

"Y-Yeah, hoo hoo I guess." he said nervously as he looked around, hoping to see anyone. He walked on by while noticing the lack of cars, and instead saw some kind of old carriage with a horse hitched up to it munching on some hay. 'Am...am I in the past?' He thought, growing worried. 'What if this is the dark ages, a time before pow cards!'

He grew nervous while suddenly feeling tiny and started to pace back and forth. 'But if this really is the past, then it's not just pow cards that aren't around, but the bodega, the plaza, Rad and Enid, and mommy!' He thought as he began to panic. 'What do I do now?!'

As he freaked out he didn't notice the figure watching him from the alley.

"Oh man oh man oh man, this is terrible." Muttered KO while trying to think of something. 'Ok KO, calm down and think. This is like what happens in the movies, I just have to think on how they figured it out, but I'm freaking out too much to think!' He thought as the figure began to approach him. 'I-I just need to...uh...uh… why did I fall asleep at the movies?!'

"Hey."

"AH!" He jumped up in surprise and grabbed onto the lamp post tightly without turning around. "D-D-Don't do that!"

"Who are you? Are you new to town?" asked a girl's voice, making KO open his eyes and look down, noticing it was a girl around his age with dark tan skin, short black hair done up in a bun, and wearing a purple colored victorian ball gown with bats perched on her shoulders with her expression looking curious.

"Oh, sorry." He chuckled embarrassed as he dropped down and looked at the girl who tilted her head and looked at him closely. "I didn't mean to jump up like that."

"Wow, your clothes look really weird." She said as she cocked her head. "You also smell like a dog, are you a werewolf?"

"What? No, I'm a kid, like you." He replied before standing straight and smiled. "My names…..uh….." he paled while suddenly jumping around in his head. 'Oh no, I can't say my real name! If I do, that could mess up time! Gotta think of something, quick!' "Uh…..TKO."

"TKO? That's a weird name, and being a kid doesn't mean you aren't a werewolf, I'm a kid yet I'm still a vampire."

"You are?" hHe replied surprised as she walked around him without looking away.

"Course, can't you tell from my elegant dress?" She asked gesturing to herself and closed her eyes while holding her hand against the side of her head. "It's made of the best silk you'd find in miles. It wasn't cheap, I can tell you."

"Wow, I actually have a friend whose mom is a vampire." Revealed KO before covering his mouth and slapped himself in the head. 'No no no! No information from the future! Not even about Rad or Enid!'

"Really now? Your friend must be quite powerful to have a vampire for a mother, is that why you're here?"

"Uh...yeah!" He nodded quickly. "I'm here to….uh...check out the place because she is thinking about...moving here?"

"Ah, I see, you are a servant boy, aren't you?"

"Yeah! Exactly!" He beamed while sighing in relief in his head.

"Then she must be really powerful, I've heard it takes a lot of work just to deal with werewolves, but to make one a servant is really impressive." She said as she rubbed her chin. "I wonder if she trained you from birth? That would make sense…"

"Um, no, just uh, just hired by her, nothing suspicious at all!" He spoke with a forced smile. 'Oh man, I can't believe she can smell through the suit! Just play along, don't talk about anything from the future, and you should be good!' "So….uh...what brings you around these parts?"

"I live here, why else would I be here in monsterville?"

"Oh! I knew that, I was just testing you, just some friendly joking." He chuckled while she raised an eyebrow.

"You're an odd one, but I am quite curious about what you're wearing. Most servants I see wear something more...covering." She said as she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, well uh, my normal clothes got… destroyed?" he fibbed as she narrowed her eyes with him tensing up. 'Oh no, can she smell lies too?!'

"Hmmmm." she let out rubbing her chin while her bats let out some squeaks. "I….can understand that." she smiled while he sighed in his head with relief. "Sometimes my own servants have to wear some of the more pristine clothes my parents have in emergency situations."

"Well, sorry for taking up your time, I better head back now." Spoke KO backing up slowly. "Nice to meet ya."

"Hold it, I'm not done with you yet." She said coldly.

KO stopped and felt himself sweat more while holding his breath.

"You haven't completed your job, have you? I doubt you know which buildings are for sale, what the town is like and so on, am I right?"

"O-Oh! You're right." he chuckled bashfully. "But I already took a look around-"

"Is that why you've only been here for the past few minutes?" She cut him off with a frown making him freeze.

"Uh...how did you…"

"Me and my little friends saw you arrive and have kept our eyes on you, isn't that right fellas?"

Her bats let out squeaks in reply while nodding.

"Which means you're trying to slip away from your job and play hooky, aren't you?"

"Uh…..alright, you caught me." he fibbed with his hands up. "I wanted to take an early break."

"Ugh, I knew it, this is why you can't trust Werewolves." She shook her head and walked over. "Look, it'll be easier and faster if I show you around or else you'll get lost."

"Um, that's not really necessar-"

"I have to, I would be a bad vampire if I let you skip your job." She cut him off and grabbed his hand before she started leading him down the road with him following. "Come along and don't wander off on your own."

"Bu-"

"No buts, you've made it clear you can't be trusted on your own." She spoke firmly while KO puffed out his cheeks, only to notice more figures coming out from the buildings, said figures revealed to be old school monsters you'd expect from classic horror movies.

'Whoa, it's the mummy! A-And the creature from the black lagoon! Is everyone here a monster?!' He thought looking around as the monsters went on with their daily chores and work, not paying the kids much attention. "Um, so, uh…. What can you tell me about this place?"

"You mean to tell me your master didn't even tell you about this place before sending you here?"

"Um… maybe she did?" he said nervously as the girl let out a groan.

"It's not that hard to understand. Monsterville was a colony established decades ago where all monsters of the night and darkness could live in peace away from the humans who gave them a hard time. Frankly I think they're just jealous by what we can do and come up with dumb reasons to make us out to be monsters. We might be monsters, but we're not MONSTERS."

"Well it sure looks peaceful." He remarked while seeing a few werewolves loading up a carriage and a man with a pumpkin for a head take it off with the body still moving before going into an old fashion barber shop.

"Yes, it is quite nice, isn't it? I'm sure your master would love it here." remarked the girl with a smirk of pride. "Funny isn't it?"

"What?"

"Monsters that humans like to fear can be more peaceful than they can when it's only them. Kinda ironic to me."

"Huh, I guess it kind of is." he said with a small nod. 'Ok, what do I do after this, and what will she do if she learns I'm lying?'

"Honestly if I ever saw one, I'd probably do what vampires do best of all." She smirked while her fangs were showing which unnerved KO.

"Uh, tell them to leave nicely?"

"No, have a nice snack~" She chuckled darkly, making KO shiver. "Tell them to leave? That's a good one." she giggled with KO gulping.

"Yeah." he admitted before he heard groaning in his head along with a yawn.

'Ugh, what's with all the racket? I'm trying to nap in here.'

'Wait, TKO, is that you?!'

'Who else would it be?' he grouched back.

'At least I can talk to someone about what's going on. You'll never believe this, but I'm in the past!'

'...you're right, I don't believe you.'

'It's true! I'm in a monster town!'

'How is that any different than what we're use to?'

'I don't know how to get home!'

"TKO, are you even listening to me?"

"Oh! Yeah, totally." he spoke up and noted they weren't walking.

"Then answer me next time. I was showing you a place your master might like." She said with a huff. "Really, I go out of my way to show you around and you don't even have the decency to listen?"

"Sorry sorry, I guess I was...daydreaming, yeah that's it."

"Well stop, I was just explaining how this mansion was empty and perfect for her to move into." she replied pointing to the large building, which KO saw was giving off a cold wind through the gates in front of it while looking old and decrepit, while seeing lightning flash in the background. "The last owners vanished without any explanation, but that just means they left behind tons of good furniture so your master doesn't have to get new ones."

"Um…"

"Also the sun never shines on this place, so she won't have to worry about the pesky sun."

"Well, it's-"

'It stinks.' remarked TKO in his head bluntly. 'What's with this girl? And why's she calling you by my name?'

'I told her your name so I wouldn't alter time, and I'll tell her nicely.' He thought as he cleared his throat. "I think it looks just the thing she's looking for."

"Great, that means the rest of the ones I'll show you will give her a bigger option to pick from."

"Wait, rest?"

"Of course. There's more than just one home with vacancy."

"Oh… yay." He said with a small groan.

"Let's get going, we don't wanna waste moonlight." She said as she took his hand and began to march him forward.

'Nice one, now you're stuck looking at homes with her like an old married couple idiot.'

'I'm sure it won't take too long. I just need to keep up the act of being a servant and then I can try to find a way back home.'

'And just how are you gonna do that?'

'I uh...I… I'll figure it out?'

'Of course you will. I'm going back to sleep while you make things harder on both of us.'

'Come on, it won't be that bad.'

(Later)

KO looked and felt exhausted as the girl pointed to what looked like a large stone tower that looked close to falling apart.

"And this tower is guaranteed to keep any intruders out. It worked pretty good on keeping a princess here her entire life, but the only reason she got out was using her long hair and the help of a prince, but other than that, completely impregnable."

"That's great, really." he nodded with a smile before letting out a yawn. "Really...really great." he said as she turned to him with a frown.

"Are you bored? This is very important, pay attention!"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, I'll look at the ruins…"

"TOWER! Not ruins!"

"Right right, that's what I meant." He spoke rubbing his eye while she crossed her arms.

"I don't get why you'd be tired. Aren't werewolves full of energy at night?"

"Uh...yeah, but...I….forgot to take a nap." He fibbed. That's when he heard his stomach let out a growl and blushed before covering it. "And lunch."

"Ugh, why do werewolves have to be so incompetent?" She shook her head.

"Hey." He frowned. "That's not very nice."

"It wasn't supposed to be." She said bluntly. "And why haven't you changed yet, you'd surely have more energy if you did."

"I…..uh…." He averted his eyes while his stomach growled louder. "I'm...too hungry! Yeah, I...have a condition where I can't change on an empty stomach."

"What? I've never heard of such a condition before!"

"Well it's true. In fact, I better head back to refuel. Thank you for showing me all these places, I'm sure my master will be happy." He smiled and started backing away.

"Hey, don't you try to walk away from me!"

"Well I'm sure you must have other stuff going on, and I don't wanna take up all your time." he spoke with a smile as she puffed out her cheeks, which he found cute. "I'm probably being a bother to you, so I'll just head out."

"Who said you were being a bother?"

"Well I assumed you thought I was, you kept insulting me the whole time." he pointed out, making her blush and look away.

"T-T-That doesn't mean I thought you were a bother!" she replied while the bats let out some squeaks followed by snickers. "Oh be quiet you two!"

"So, you DON'T think I'm a bother?"

She looked down and seemed embarrassed while twiddling her hands together. "No, truth is, I…." she muttered something to herself.

"Huh? What was that?"

"I said I…." she muttered it again.

"What?"

"I said I liked it!" she spoke up louder while blushing more. "I liked showing you around here! Happy now?"

"Sure! So you really had fun?" He asked, starting to smile.

"W-Well, kinda… there aren't many monsters my age here…" She admitted looking down. "It's kinda hard really, having to grow up and not have many people to play with me."

"Well we can play if you want." he offered, making her perk up.

"Really?! Er, I mean, uh, t-that would be ok." She spoke while trying not to look too excited.

"And I know just the game. Tag, you're it!" He spoke while poking her hand and took off running.

"W-Wait up! I can't run fast in this dress!" She called as she followed after him while pulling up the lower part of the dress to keep from tripping.

"Come and catch me!" He laughed as he kept running. "Come on slowpoke!"

"Hey! I'm no slowpoke!" She called with a frown as she began to pick up speed. "I'm a vampire!"

KO chuckled as for the past 10 minutes he kept ahead of the girl, who panted and was working up a sweat.

"T-This...isn't...fair!" She groaned. "You're a werewolf, you're naturally faster!"

"Come on, you can catch up if you try." he remarked while slowing down as she tried to catch her breath. "I mean, vampires can do all sorts of cool stuff. Why not use your powers if you're getting worn out?"

"I-It might mess up my dress!" She groaned. "A-And...I'm not really good with them yet."

"Really?" he looked surprised as she nodded. "Are they really hard?"

"Not all….just the ones that take a lot more practice and time. Like blending in the shadows, or transforming into a giant bat."

"Wow, that sounds pretty cool, but then what tricks can you do if those are the hard ones?"

"Well, there's this." She crossed her arms across her chest before smoke erupted from in front of her and covered her, only to disperse and show she was gone.

"Woah! You can turn invisible?!" he went wide eyed in awe.

"No!" came her voice making him turn his head and saw her standing next to a tree. "I can disappear away to a small distance, but that's easy."

"Whoa! That's even cooler! But why didn't you use that during tag?"

"You caught me off guard and ran too fast for me to actually catch up. I have to stay still to use it." she grumbled walking over.

"Well it's still pretty awesome. Kinda like Enid who does something si-" he stopped midway before covering his mouth. 'I said something I shouldn't have again!'

"Enid? Who's that?" She asked with a frown, feeling slightly jealous for some reason.

"Uh...she's….a friend, I….made a year ago!" He said quickly as he gulped nervously. 'I can't tell her that it's someone from the future!'

"Is she another werewolf?"

"Um, no, she's a...a samurai!"

"A what?"

"It's...someone who wears tons of armor, and uses a sword, and does lots of cool poses and jumps." He said quickly while feeling relieved. 'Ok, I avoided tipping her off, good job KO!'

'Yeah, REAL smooth.' Remarked TKO's voice in his head with sarcasm. 'Not like she won't ask more questions on stuff she doesn't know.'

"That sounds like a knight."

"Um, it kinda is, but it's from a different part of the world than knights."

"So then, that means you and your master are from another country?" She asked with interest while her pet bats flew off her shoulders and went over to nibble on some fruit."What's it like? Is it dark and gloomy like here? Does it rain a lot? Oh! Are there any annoying humans giving the monsters trouble?"

"Uh….." KO flicked his eyes around before getting an idea. "Hey I know! We can try a different game that's way more fun than tag, it's called Hide N Seek!"

"Huh? But I still have questions!"

"Um… I'll answer them if you find me?"

"But why not now?" She pouted. "I want answers, so talk!"

"J-Just start counting!" He spoke backing up. "And make sure to cover your eyes."

"Hey! Don't you run away from me!" She shouted as she grabbed his hair as he tried to run away.

"Ow!"

"I wanna know more!" She growled as she pulled him back to her. "Now answer my questions!"

"I-I-I…" He stuttered, not sure what to do. "I...can't."

"Why not?"

"Because...my master….made me promise not to!" He said, making her eyes widen.

"Oh...I see...why didn't you say so?"

"Because I….thought you might still be mad." He said nervously. "Sorry about that."

"I… I understand, you didn't have a choice." She sighed. "So, you want to play… hide and seek was it?"

"Yeah." he smiled. "I think you'll like it."

"So, how do we play?"

(Later)

KO was currently hiding in a hollow tree and keeping quiet, waiting for the girl to find him. 'Hehe, she'll never find me in here.'

That's when he heard some squeaks and spotted the girl's pet bats fly near the hole and see him and flap their wings, hovering their making him panic.

"Hey guys, maybe you should fly somewhere else."

Sqeeeeeee! Sqeeeee!

"What is it Battsy?"

Squeeeee!

"You found him? Good bat! Extra mice for you!"

KO went wide eyed as they flew away with the girl's head poking up.

"Found you!"

"Hey no fair! You had your pets help you."

"You never said I couldn't~" she sang before giggling. "That was fun."

"Yeah, I guess it was, now it's my turn!"

DOOOOONG!

Both kids perked up with KO confused and the girl sighing.

"Awww, I wanted to keep playing."

"Well why can't you?"

"Didn't you hear the gong? That's how my parents let me know it's time to come home, the suns going to come up soon."

"You mean it's like a curfew bell?"

"Yes, which means I need to get going." She said with a sigh. "I hope we can play tomorrow if you're still here."

"Well I don't mind, sounds fun to me."

"I know, but it's all up to your master." She sighed as she began to walk away.

He waved at her while feeling bad while TKO shook his head.

'Don't go getting all sad yet. Not like we've got anywhere else to go right now remember?'

'Yeah, I guess so, but what do I do when I do want to go home, I can't get back!'

'Just wait for your friends to come get you.'

'But we don't know how long that could take.'

'So just wait, it's all you can do, remember?'

'I guess so… so where do I go now?'

'How should I know, I'm in your head.'

'Oh, right, I guess you are.'

'Just try and live off the land, or better yet 'borrow' some cash from someone.'

'You mean steal?! I can't do that!'

'Hey, it's either that or living off raw fish in some creepy woods.' TKO said as he groaned.

'I...well… do you think I could ask that girl I was with if I could stay at her place?'

'I wouldn't. She might think you're weird.'

'Do I have any choice though?' He replied back, only to hear loud thunder, followed by lightning, only for it to start raining.

'I'd try and find some place to stay dry at.'

KO sighed and took off running into the woods.

(Later that same night)

KO panted, looking dirty and tired, but pleased since he had created a makeshift tent with a fire going. "Ok, this is going well, I-I think I can do this!" He said as he huddled next to the fire. "I've got a roof and fire to help me dry off. Now I just need food." He muttered as his stomach growled.

'Good luck, nothing is open and you have no money, and we both know you don't have it in you to kill an animal.'

"I don't need to eat an animal, I could find some fruit."

'In this place? Ha! Everything here is probably poisonous.'

KO puffed out his cheeks and looked around from his spot, and spotted a small berry bush a few feet away from him. 'Ha, see! Fruit!'

'Nah, it's either poisonous or a trap.'

"Well we won't know for sure without trying." He said as he got up and headed towards the berries.

'Yeah, because it would be our last chance to try them!' TKO thought as he shook his head. 'Don't you try them!'

KO reached the bush and picked up a berry, and was nervous, but his hunger was too hard to ignore and popped it in his mouth before chewing. 'Huh, it tastes kind of nice!'

'I'm telling you it's a bad idea, but if you wanna say goodbye to your life, AND MINE! Then go ahead!' He called as KO began to eat the berries by the handful.

'Aw come on, you're overreacting.' thought KO with a hum while getting berry juice on his mouth. 'They kinda remind me of cherries.'

'Great, now we're gonna die and it's all your fault!'

'No we're-' KO was cut off abruptly as he fell down on his face, feeling his mind go numb and groaned as everything went dark.

'Great, and now we're dead.'

(Later)

KO groaned as he felt himself start to wake up, and his stomach feeling bad. "Ooooohhhh… Everything huuuuurts."

'Well would you look at that, we didn't die.'

'Yeah… but where are we?' wondered KO who felt he was under some soft sheets and laying on what felt like a bed.

'Some place fancy, we definitely aren't in the woods anymore.' TKO thought as KO opened his eyes.

"Oh thank demons you're awake!" Came a voice as he looked over to see the girl he had met earlier staring at him intently. "I thought you were dead!"

"Wait, what?!"

"Yeah! I found you passed out next to a poisonous bush!" She replied while he sat up slowly. "Were you eating the berries there? Those make anyone sick unless you're a bird!"

"I uh…. I was hungry?" He said nervously.

"Then why didn't you go back to your master? I'm sure she must have had some food wherever she was staying at."

"She… she's not here?" He chuckled nervously.

"...what? Your master isn't here? Then where is she?"

"Um… I don't know? I haven't seen her for awhile?" he kept fibbing.

"That's horrible! Servant or not, what kind of master leaves their own servant boy behind to fend for himself?!" She shouted angrily. "You should quit!"

"Uh, yeah, I mean, maybe." He admitted rubbing the back of his head and pulled the sheets off. "Well thanks for letting me lay here, but I should probably get going. I'm feeling much better now."

"Oh no you don't! Not until you tell me you have a proper place to stay!" She frowned while moving over and blocked the door. "You shouldn't even be getting out of bed yet."

"It's fine, really!" he said nervously. "I'm way tougher than I look."

"You nearly died eating berries!"

"Almost! But I lived!"

"And you know who else said the same? Several zombies who live in town. You want me to just let you die and come back as a zombie? No way!" She said with a frown. "Now you get back in bed, mister!"

"Yes ma'am." He squeaked before getting back in bed.

"Good, now you stay there until I say so, ok?" She said with a huff. "Really, how are you going to be my friend if you get yourself killed?"

"...touche." He said with a sigh. 'So much for not messing with the timeline I guess.'

"Now you stay there and I'll go get some real food. My bats will keep an eye on you to make sure you don't try to sneak off."

"Oh come on, where would I even go?"

"Out the window." She said with a frown. "I know how you werewolves are."

"I'm a werepuppy." KO muttered to himself, making her freeze.

"Wait, what?"

"Technically I'm a werepuppy." He said as she looked at him, mouth agape. "What, is something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...wow, I figured you were older than you looked. Usually werewolves look young, but are really WAY older than that."

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

"It just means you're young, naive and shouldn't be alone."

"Hey."He puffed out his cheeks which made him look cute. "I'm not naive."

"You ate poisonous berries. Also, why don't you look like a werepuppy?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "I heard they stay in their natural form until they get older, so it couldn't be related to your hunger."

"Um… yeah, that's totally it!"

"Ugh, your master must be quite incompintant if she lets you starve." she shook her head. "Until you get back, or she comes by, you're going to stay here. I don't want you to have to suffer like that."

"B-Bu-"

"No buts! This is final!" She spoke with a stern look making him stop talking. "Now lay there and wait till I get back."

"...ok." He nodded as she turned to the door and moved to open it. "Wait! I just realized something. I never got your name."

"Oh, well…." she looked away and held her hands together. "It's kinda embarrassing, using my full name, so….I go by a nickname." She said as she shook her head. "You can calm me Wilma...i-if that's ok with you?"

"Wilma….that's a nice nickname." He said with a smile, making her face heat up.

"T-Thanks TKO." she quickly left and walked down the hall with her chest feeling fuzzy.

As she walked down the hall she steeled herself as she reached her parents room. 'Ok, just tell them that TKO is staying here then leave.'

She made her way down a few turns in the hall and reached two ornate doors with torches on the side. She slowly approached them and knocked on them. "Mother, Father, I wish to speak with you."

The doors began to slowly creak open before she made her way inside where two chairs were facing a fireplace.

"Sorry for bothering you, but I wanted to inform you of a guest I brought home."

"A guest? Who is it and why have you given them the honor of entering our abode without telling us or asking for permission?" Asked a female voice, her voice having a rusian accent that came from the chair on the left.

"W-Well he was injured and not feeling well, I couldn't leave him all on his own, so...I brought him here to rest."

"Wilhamena, do not stutter when you speak, every word must be perfect."

"Sorry." she bowed her head while a figure rose up from the right chair to show a male with tanish skin, white hair done up in a ponytail, and wearing a black cloak.

"You did not answer us. WHO is it?"

"I-It is a boy I met in town, his master has sent him here to find a home for her, with no way to return to her."

"You brought a human here?" Hissed her mother standing up, who had pale skin with black hair done up in a bun with a red victorian dress. "Wilhamena, what have we SAID about those filthy humans?"

"H-He is not a human mother, he is a werepuppy!"

"Werepuppy? You mean he is merely a cub?"

"Yes."

"And you say she left him here with no way to return to her or contact her? Dear Wilhamena, he was not sent here to find a home, he was sent here to be abandoned, obviously."

"Which means we have no reason to keep him here. Get rid of him."

"But he is still sick, we can't just abandon him!"

"And just WHY is that?"

"He...mistakenly ate some poisonous berries."

Her parents looked at each other with her mother shaking her head.

"He truly is young and naive."

"Yes, I doubt he would survive here on his own… perhaps this is a rare opportunity for our daughter to learn a new lesson."

"I think I know what you mean my dear. And she is at that age where it would be good for her to have someone to entertain her."

"Yes, I think we know what to do." her father said as they both nodded with Wilhamena confused.

"What's that mother and father?"

"Wilhamena, since this cub is without a master and a pack, you may make him your servant, it will teach you how to command others, and entertain you."

"But know this, you alone will keep an eye on him. Neither of us will assist."

"You will have to feed him, clothe him and make sure he is presentable at all times, understood?"

"Yes, I do." She said with a nod.

"And if you fail at any of these he will be cast out of our home immediately."

"Do we make ourselves clear?"

"Yes Father, yes Mother, I will not disappoint you." She bowed her head and made her way out of the room while trying to keep from making any sounds of excitement. 'Yes! Mother and Father just agreed to let him stay forever! This is going to be great!'

"What do you think dear? Will our daughter succeed or fail?" Asked the female to the male, both of them having sharp fangs.

"I believe she will succeed, she has been amazing with her tutor and I think this will do her some good, and if she fails? Well, then she learns a hard but good lesson."

(Later)

KO hummed as he munched on the chicken brought to him and was feeling his hunger get satisfied while Wilma watched with a smile.

"So, how is it, do you feel better now?"

"Yeah, I feel great!" he replied while flexing his arms. "I feel full of energy, this chicken really does the trick."

"Great, so do you think you can change into your werepuppy form now? I need to see how big you get so I can get you some proper clothes."

"Uh….what do you mean? I already have clothes."

"Those rags? Please, you can't be walking around with clothes like that on." She said as she shook her head in disgust. "I need to get you some real clothes since you'll be sticking around here for a while."

"Um… what do you mean by real clothes?" he asked nervously. 'Does this count as messing with the timeline or blending in?'

'I don't see how our fashion sense is gonna make things more rocky.'

'I dunno how this time travel things work!'

'Well, if anything you were going to do or did was gonna change the future you wouldn't exist by now, right? Just go along with it until your friends show up.'

"So come on, change already." Wilma said with a frown. "Do it now!"

"Uh-uh, um… can you close your eyes quickly?"

"Why?" She asked with a frown. "Is there something wrong?"

"I..I don't wanna take off the suit in front of you." He said quietly.

"What was that?"

"I-I mean I don't want to change in front of you in case there is a wardrobe malfunction?"

"Oh!" she blushed and turned away. "Ok, makes sense to me." 'I don't wanna see him naked, that'd be undignified.'

"Ok, now keep your eyes closed." He said as he began to quickly take off his human suit.

Wilma did so while trying not to peek. 'J-Just keep focused, y-you shouldn't look!'

'Ok, just gotta hide this under the bed, and everything will be ok.' he thought as he got the suit off and quickly hid his suit under the bed and cleared his throat. "You can look now."

She turned around and went a bit wide eyed as she saw him. 'Cute!'

"See? Werepuppy." He said as the young vampire shook her head.

"I-I see, well, you aren't that big so we should be able to find you a proper suit to wear." She spoke while composing herself and trying to resist rubbing his head.

"Aw, what? Do I have to wear a suit?"

"Y-Yes, you have too." She said as she had to keep herself under control. 'His fur looks so soft!'

"Aw man." He groaned. 'Maybe it won't be so bad?'

(Later)

"There, a perfect fit." Wilhamena said with a smile as KO let out a groan.

"It feels weird!"

"Hey, Mr. Bones worked very hard to tailor that suit for you." She frowned while KO tugged at the collar.

"It feels snug."

"Now you may not enjoy the idea of wearing this much clothes, but it's necessary that you look clean, proper, and put together, which you do now." she smiled while KO sighed. "Now that we got that out of the way, let's play."

"Ok, what do you wanna play?" he asked, perking up.

"Tag, you're it!" she tapped him before rushing out of the room.

"Hey, wait for me!" He called with a laugh as he ran after her.

(Timeskip)

After that moment, things for the two had progressed in a relatively relaxing and easier manner. The two would play whenever possible, with KO meeting her parents and feeling nervous given their cold and blunt way of living, making him learn a few things on what NOT to do in front of them. All the while he had grown closer to Wilma, and he had almost forgotten that he was in the past. At the moment, he and Wilma were playing with her newest gift.

"Ok, now hold still!" she smiled while trying to keep the camera she had been given her parents angled right with KO himself trying to, but Wilma's pet bats kept moving around on his head making him look up at them.

"Guys, maybe you could sit on my shoulders and not my head."

SKEEEEEE!

"It's fine, they're just jealous I'm paying attention to you and not them." She chuckled while zooming in on KO's face. "Alright, I'm all set up. Now don't move, and try to smile."

"Ok, so how long does this take?"

"Fifteen minutes."

"Say what?"

"Hey, it takes time for a picture to be taken!" she frowned. "Just try to stay still or else it'll come out messed up."

'Fifteen minutes?! That's way too long!' He thought while feeling the bats tug a little on his hair with their claws.

"Now stay still, ok?"

"I'll try." He said as the bats kept circling him. 'I hope I don't sneeze, or blink.'

"Good, now stay there, you look great!" She beamed while wishing she had a stand, so she had to keep holding it up perfectly still. As time went on they began to struggle to keep things steady, but soon they heard a click and breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, you can move now."

"Great, that sucked!" he said as he stretched out. "Ok, so what now?"

"Hold on." she spoke and saw the photo slowly slide out before taking it and gave it a small wave and looked at it. "It's perfect. Not too shabby for my first picture."

"Cool, can I see?" He asked as he moved closer, only for them to hear the sound of heels approaching. "Uh-oh, it's your mom."

She quickly stuck the photo in her pocket and sat the camera down on her shelf right as her mother entered. "Greetings mother."

"Wilhamena, servant." She said coldly as she looked at KO.

"Ma'am." he bowed his head quickly as he was told.

"Hmmm, I see you managed to teach it some manners, well done."

"Yes mother, TKO learns very fast and does what he's told without question." Wilma said quickly. "He has proven himself to be a very capable servant who will be able to serve me for many years to come."

"Good, that's what I like to hear." She said with a nod. "I expected nothing less from you, you have made me proud."

"Thank you mother." She said, feeling giddy inside. 'Yes, she said she's proud of me!'

'Wow, I bet her parents are gonna get pissed when you go back to the future and leave them behind.'

'You don't have to make me sound like a bad guy.'

'Well I know the girl is gonna be disappointed and the parents will blame her sooo… yeah, you kinda are.'

KO sighed while the mother made her way out.

"Be sure to keep up the good work." Her mother said before she began to walk away.

"Consider it done mother." She said with a curtsy before turning to KO. "Alright, you heard her, let's get back to it."

"Works for me." he replied while the bats landed on Wilhamena's shoulders and gave him the stink eye. 'I wonder if her bats will ever warm up to me.'

SKREEEEEE

"Ow, my ears!" she covered her ears and glared at them. "Both of you behave!"

"They started it! I'm not doing anything!"

"I was talking to them!" She growled as the bats whined in protest. "Keep this up you two and you won't get dinner."

"So, what should we do next?"

"Oh! Well, we could play fetch." She offered as he nodded eagerly. "Great, I'll go get the ball!"

KO watched as she headed out while TKO groaned. 'What?'

'I can't believe you're actually enjoying that dumb game.'

'What, it's fun!'

'You're playing fetch with her like a trained dog!'

'Well I don't know why it feels fun, but it just does. I'll bet you'd think the same too.'

'No, because I have self respect!'

'Nuh-uh! You'd like it too!'

'I'm not the dog here!'

'We're the same person!'

'No, you went and got bit like a dumbass, I didn't!'

KO gasped while holding his cheeks. 'You can't swear!'

'I just did! Bitch cock fuck asshole!'

KO was about to reply, but started to notice his body was glowing. 'Hey, what's going on?' He thought before he suddenly disappeared.

"TKO, I got the ball, you ready to play?" Called Wilhamena entering the room, but looked surprised when she didn't see the werepuppy. "TKO? Where are you?' She asked in confusion. "Where did you go?"

With said boy, he was screaming and found himself going through a tunnel like the first time. "A-Am I time traveling again?!"

'If we are, we better be going home!'

'What does that mean?! What could have happened if we don't end up going home?!'

'We could be flung through time for all eternity.'

"AHHHHHH!" He cried as he kept flying through the tunnel before a hole opened up in front of him. He found himself crashing down on his front, again, groaning from the impact. "Ow…"

"KO! You're back!"

He pushed himself up and saw Enid in front of him before finding himself picked up into a hug by the girl. "Enid?"

"Oh KO, I'm sorry it took us so long, it took us all day to get Boxmore to finally agree to help us get you back, and that's only becau-"

"So this is the little friend you wanted brought back?"

"Oh! Yeah mom, this is KO."

"KO...that sounds familiar. Well, he certainly is well dressed."

KO turned his head and saw an older woman next to Enid, long black hair with a fancy dress on, black lipsticks, and noticeable fangs sticking out. "Uh, hello there."

"Oh! My bad, I forgot you two never met." Enid set him down while he caught sight of Boxmore tied up like a mummy in the background and squirming in the ropes. "This is my mom."

"Hello, I'm Wilhamena, it's nice to meet you." She said with a smile as both her and KO got a nagging feeling in the back of their heads. "When my little Enid said she needed my help in getting Boxmore to bring back her friend, I came over as fast as possible, but I had to take some time to put sun lotion on or else my skin would burn like there was no tomorrow."

"Yeah, my mom's a vampire, but she was able to make Boxmore comply pretty quickly." smiled Enid. "It took some time, but we got him to bring you back in one piece. What happened KO?"

"Well, the thing is I did go back in time, and I guess since everything is as it should, that means nothing changed!" he cheered jumping up with his fists in the air.

"Wow, you went back in time? What time period were you in, and how long were you there?" Rad asked curiously.

"Well, I wanna say the dark ages. I mean I guess, everything was all dark and scary looking. Oh! And I got to meet a town full of monsters too."

"Really? My my, that sounds a bit like the place I grew up at." admitted Wilhamena. "I use to grow up in a quaint little town where monsters were free to live their lives without any worry."

"Yeah, that sounds a lot like the place I ended up at, and I got taken in by this nice girl." He said as the nagging feeling got worse. "I mean at first I wasn't sure if I should stick with her, I mean I've seen movies about time travel and didn't want anything to happen that could change time, but I wound up hanging out with her and it was really fun." He said as Wilhamena nodded.

"Yes, that does sound nice." She said with a nostalgic sigh. "You know, you remind me of someone." smiled the vampire.

"Really? Who?" Rad asked as KO felt the nagging feeling getting bigger..

"There was this boy I used to play with when I was really young. Back then I didn't hang around many other kids my age, but he showed up and we used to play a lot. Funny thing is he was a werepup, but for some reason he stayed looking like a normal human." She said as she rubbed her chin. "Then one day he just disappeared and I never saw him again, it's quite the shame, I have to admit I had quite the crush on him at the time."

"What did he look like?" Enid asked curiously.

"Well, he was small, about your friends size a-oh! I just remembered, I have an old photo of him!" she smiled reaching into her pocket with KO feeling the sensation grow worse. "I admit it sounds silly, but I always kept it on me as a nice reminder. Why if it wasn't for him, I might not have fallen in love with your father."

"Huh? Why?" Enid asked in confusion.

"Well, he was a werepuppy, and after that I guess I just had a type."

'Why does this feel familiar, what is going on?' thought KO while breaking into a sweat without realizing it.

"Ah, here we are, th-" she said as she pulled out the picture only to stop as she stared at it before looking at KO, then at the picture and then back at him again. Said boy started sweating harder Wilhamena's mouth dropped and kept looking between him and the picture before dropping it and letting her arms drop to her sides. "I...can't believe it..."

"Mom? What's going on, what's wrong?" asked Enid before picking up the picture. "And why do you have a picture of KO? And why's it look so old and grainy?"

"T-This... this can't be... how... how?!" She sputtered out with wide eyes with KO smiling and chuckling nervously.

"Um... time travel?"

"But that means...oh my gosh! This whole time I've been a cradle robber!" She screamed out with wide eyes before gasping and fainted on her back.

"Mom!" Enid cried as she rushed to her side. "Come on mom, wake up!" she spoke while she tried shaking her by the shoulders.

'Oh man, SHE was Wilma!' thought KO who dropped his mouth and felt like an idiot for not seeing the clues before.

'Wow, how's it feel knowing you had your pal's mom crushing on you?' Asked TKO in his head with a chuckle.

'I-It feels weird!' He thought with a blush.

'Eh it could be worse.'

'How?!'

'You could have wound up Enid's step daddy.' He thought as KO passed out from embarrassment.

"KO!" cried Rad who moved over, but saw the picture, went wide eyed, and started to connect the dots. "Wait….so KO...and your mom….and….oooh…." and promptly fainted too. Three strikes, you're out!
