Me- (holding Sprx by ankles upside down) Open the bathroom door!

Otto- Why? (he and the others see me holding Sprx)

Midnight- What are you doing?

Me- (has creepy smile on face) Swirly time!

Sprx- (gets wide-eyed) No, please! I hate water! NO!

Kai- (she and the others look at Nova) Aren't you going to stop her? Thanks for the reviews now she has an idea for Xel!

Ch 9: Operation: Xel

"I'm doing two pranks to Xel," Kai went to pick him up. "Uh, he's heavier than I thought! Will someone help me?"

"Where are you taking him?" Nova asked.

"To the bathroom," Kai answered with a smile and struggled to hold him.

"For what?" Suger asked.

"You'll have to help me and find out." Kai slowly took a few steps forward and nearly fell with the extra weight until the others helped her.

"To the bathroom it is then," Emaris sighed.

It took them only a few moments to carry the sleeping silver, red eyed monkey to the bathroom (I don't think they have one). Kai turned on the water to the tub and poured some contents into the running water.

"What is that?" Kiko asked as pink liquid mixed with the rushing water.

"Help me put him in," Kai turned off the faucet and the flow of warm water ceased. The others did as she asked and put her sleeping husband's (just got married) body in the now bright pink liquid.

"Ok…" Emaris now looked at the white monkey to get an answer, "now can you tell us what that is?"

"Dye," Kai simply said.

"Dye?" Emaris sounded amused.

"Yeah."

"You're dying him?"

"Yeah."

"What color?" Nova broke in.

"Pink," Kai answered.

"Pink?" the other four asked.

"Yeah, what color did you think I was going to dye him?"

"Red," Suger answered.

"Red," Nova huffed, "please… I would have gotten him and Sprx mixed up! And that would be bad."

"Actually you would know who was who!" Kai started. "Xel has red eyes and Sprx has black. Did you forget Nova?"

"Good point."

"How long will this take?" Kiko asked.

"About ten minutes for the dye to completely dye his fur." Kai answered.

"So what can we do till then?" Suger and Emaris asked. "And keep that spider away from us!"

"TARA," Kai said defensively. "Besides, she likes you!"

"Oh yeah," the two said.

"I'll have her come here."

"NO," they yelled, "No, we're good!" they both then said calmly.

"Hey guys look," Kiko gained their attention and they all looked into the tub, "the tubs turning pink!"

"You better clean that up when you're done with him," Nova started. "Or we're gonna have a problem!"

"No kidding."

Just then they heard a small burp behind them. They were startled and turned to see a large white tiger standing in the doorway, peering in on them. "Eclyps, are you alright?" Emaris looked at the large feline.

"He looks drowsy," Kiko said.

"I didn't give him anything…" Kai stared and drifted deep in thought.

"Kai, Kai, Shuggazoom to Kai," Nova waved her hand in front of her face.

"Hu?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah," Kai drew her attention from Nova to Eclyps and asked, "did you get into those dishes on the counter?"

There was a loud belch that echoed though the Robot and it seemed to shake slightly. "Excuse me," he spoke in a quiet voice that no one could hear. A small smile was seen.

"Eclyps you better go lay down before y-" Kai was interrupted by a thud and she rushed over to her 'baby' as she and Xel had called him.

"It's like they're drunk on something," Emaris said amused. "I mean, when the boys passed out, they looked like they were high on something. At least Sprx did!" she laughed at the thought of Sprx passing out on the floor.

It took them a few minutes to get the mighty beast to a safer place to sleep so he wouldn't sustain any injury if the boys woke up and were furious and craving revenge or the fact of being stepped on.

"Phase one, complete," Kai drained the water from the tub, which was now stained pink. "Remind me to clean that." She and the others pulled out what once used to be an attractive silver, red eyed monkey as he was now a pink, red eyed monkey.

"I can't believe you dyed him pink," Nova wasn't sure what to think.

"What?" Kai looked at her, "You're the one who dressed Sprx up like a princess, put makeup on him and gave his Barbie a swirly and used GI Joe as a toilet scrubber!" Kai smiled and tried to hold back a laugh as they carried the male's body down to where everyone was sleeping.

"Now I have another idea for Sprx," Nova smiled as they put Xel down. "Thanks Kai."

"Yeah, sure," Kai started but didn't think of what she said. "Wait, what?"

"You gave me another idea for Sprx."

"Poor Sprx," Kiko, Suger and Emaris sighed quietly.

"I'll do it after Kai finishes with Xel."

"Thanks Nova," Kai pulled out a remote from her bag that she put on the floor.

"What is with the remote?" Emaris asked.

"What is it going to do?" Suger added.

"That looks like a TV remote," Nova said.

"Cool, I get to watch TV first," Kiko reached for the clicker.

"No," Kai backed away. "This is no ordinary clicker, it's a magic clicker!"

"Magic," Kiko repeated as if in a trance. "Give it to me!" she reached for it once more and Kai backed away more.

"Back away, back away," Kai growled in a playful defensive tone. "My clicker."

"Oh, c'mon you have to share," Emaris also wanted to get a hold of it.

"I will when I get done," Kai held it in a protective embrace and the other two backed away.

"Ok," they said. "I get it first." They both glared at each other.

"I'm first," Emaris insisted.

"Excuse me," Kiko glared. They both exchanged glares and a few words before Kai interrupted.

"You both will get to use it but only when I'm done, which should take a few seconds." She said and pointed the clicker to the dyed monkey. A blue light shot out and hit him and stopped.

"What was that?"

"I have no clue," Kai admitted.

"Hopefully you didn't kill him!" Nova said.

Kai and the others quickly ran over to him to see if he was breathing, "Thank God," Kai let out a sigh of relief, "I thought I killed him!"

"You haven't even been married a week and you're already trying to kill him!" Emaris tried to hold back a laugh. "You must be one of those black widows!"

"Hmm, perhaps I should try tweaking this out a little bit," Kai turned a little knob. "I think that's it." She pointed it at him again. This time he turned into a little ball of fluff. A little pink kitten with red eyes and red symbol on his chest.

"Ooohh," Kiko was breath taken, "he's so cute!" she walked over and picked him up. Kiko held him close and you could see Kai literally turning red in the face from anger.

"I think she's ticked," Nova whispered to Suger and Emaris.

"Me too," they nodded.

"You better go get him," Nova told the now red, fuming monkey.

"Hey, unhand my husband!" Kai was trying to calm herself, but was still fuming.

"Aww, do I have to," Kiko looked down at the small kitten in her arms. "He's so cute!"

"Listen," Kai was holing back her anger, "he's my husband, now hands off of him please!" she now said in a calmer voice. He always protected her, so now she felt it was her turn to do the protecting. "Hand him to me if you will," she held out her hands to receive her love that was now a small two month old kitten, small enough to fit into the palm of your hand. Kiko looked at the ball of fur then at the monkey with her hands reaching for her. Kiko sighed.

"I wasn't gonna try and steal him if that's what you were thinking?" she said and handed Xel to his wife and she held him in a very protective embrace. Then he started to purr in her arms. "Aww man," Kiko looked disappointed when he started purring in Kai's arms.

"I think someone's jealous," Suger whispered to Emaris and Nova.

"You said it," Nova said.

"I actually thought he was cute!" Emaris said quietly so Kai couldn't hear her.

"Wow, a confession comes out," Nova and Suger smiled.

Kai walked over to a chair and put her purring husband down gently. 'Now for revenge,' Kai held the clicker in her hands and looked at Kiko as she had her back turned. The white monkey turned the knob and pointed it at the turned monkey. The blue light hit her and she started to shrink, the other three were watching her as she shrank. There was Kiko now with eight eyes and eight hairy legs.

"What did you do to her?" the three asked Kai.

"And why?" Emaris asked. "Don't tell me it was because you thought she was gonna steal your hubby!"

Kai smiled. "You are so cruel. I've never seen you act this way!" Nova admitted.

"I have a mean streak at parties," Kai smiled a playful smile.

"What happened?" Kiko looked up at her friends, "Why am I so short all of a sudden? I knew coffee stunted your growth, but I never thought it would have happened to me! WHY ME?"

"Well… uh, about that…" Suger stared down at her, "Well you're sort of… uh how to say this…" she was searching for words.

"A spider," Emaris broke in.

"A SPIDER," Kiko screamed and started running around in circles, but tripped over six other legs.

"It's a tarantula," Kai corrected, "get it right!"

"You did this to me," Kiko cried and looked at her as Kai bent down on her knees and they had a stare down.

Emaris looked over to the chair which held the pink kitten and smiled. She elbowed Nova and Suger lightly as the other two were talking.

A blast of blue light shot at Kai and she started to shrink as well. "How come I feel so short and am looking at you at eye level?" she asked and Kiko started laughing. "What's so funny?" Kai asked impatiently.

"I'll help you out!" Kiko laughed harder, " You have eight legs and eight eyes!"

Kai lifted her arms in front of her and had seen hairy white legs. "Why am I a spider?" she asked confused. "This wasn't my agenda!"

"Well now that you're at my level… I can take you out!" Kiko raised her front four legs and lifted her head in a defense position.

"Will you two just stop and get along?" they seen three shadows hovering over them. When they looked up, they seen Nova holding the clicker.

"She started it," Kai and Kiko looked at each other when they said it in unison.

Kai looked up and noticed Emaris holding something in her arms. It looked… pink. Then she realized what she was holding. "Hey… is that Xel in your arms?" she asked sharply.

"Uh, yeah," Emaris answered.

"Uh, so you let her hold him but you won't let me," Kiko snapped at the white arachnid.

"I didn't let her hold him! She did it without my permission! Like you did!" Kai answered.

"So if I asked you would have let me hold him?" Kiko asked.

"Don't push it," Kai said. "Ok, real funny guys… can you change us back now?" Kai started but realized no one was there. "Uh, guys? Where are they?" she asked Kiko.

"I have no clue," she answered. "Guys?"

Then they seen them all gathered around Sprx, "There they are!" Kiko pointed as she and Kai crawled over slowly.

They were snickering and laughing at Sprx, "What did you three do now?" Kai asked as she and Kiko crawled on a chair, to avoid someone's feet.

"Nova put his man hands on him." Suger laughed and looked at them and they looked at each other confused.

"You haven't heard the story?" Nova asked.

They shook their heads. "Oh that's right… you two were fighting when I told them!" Nova said and started to tell her story about the monkey that went missing and received man hands from 'someone' (sorry MQB ).

"Whoa," the two spiders, err, tarantula's said.

"Ok," Kiko sighed, "can you please turn us back?" she asked nicely.

Nova and the other two looked at each other and thought. When they turned they said, "No!"

"WHAT?" Kai and Kiko yelled in a small, squeaky voice.

They laughed once they heard their voices, "We think you two should stay that way for a while." Emaris said, still holing Xel in her arms, much to Kai's displeasure.

"Put him down!" Kai demanded in a voice that was not intimidating, but she tried to make it.

"Or what?" Emaris asked playfully but teasingly.

"I'll bite ya," Kai pretended to charge and had her jump on her feet and move. Kai smiled as she put her husband down on the chair she and Kiko were on. Kai could her him purring silently and watched him sleep. "This feels awkward!" she said.

"What?" Nova asked.

"I'm a tarantula and he's a kitten!" she answered. "That's so interspecies!"

"You're right, that is freaky," everyone thought.

"Please change us back!" Kai complained.

"Not yet," Nova answered. "Now for Midnight!" Nova smiled.

That chapter was longer and thanks to Dark Fox Tailz for PMing me about the man hands idea for Sprx, A.K.A. Barbie Lover. When they wake up, it will be hilarious and gut grabbing in pain. If you have any idea for my next unfortunate victim, Midnight, please share. I think Fairy Whisperings may have an idea for her OC. Please review and let me know what you thought of the chapter.
