Chapter 8:
Kat blinked, rubbing her eyes, she realized someone had their arms wrapped around her waist; somebody's breathing tickling the back of her neck. She chose not to struggle, she just laid there blinking in confusion…her dog and Spencer had spoken to them last night…and some nutty lady had entered her dreams. She looked over to where Krystal was sleeping, she smiled seeing her friend sleeping in Leonardo's arms…but whose arms were around her waist, and squeezing it as well.
"I know you're awake." She stayed silent, praying that this wasn't a dream; she chose to snuggle into him.
"Hi," was all she could whisper.
"It's four in the morning," he said.
"Don, does it look like I know the time," she said in a harsh whisper, she suddenly blushed.
"No, but you really should sleep," he whispered tickling her neck even more.
"Okay," she giggled slightly, closing her eyes.
"You better be here when I wake up," he whispered, he smiled as she nodded.
"As long as you're here when I wake up," she sighed, breathing in his scent. Soon enough she was lulled to sleep.
Minutes later, Krystal was awake in the dark, but this time, trying to role over. She knew it was Leo who was holding her, tightly in his grip…so she wouldn't break free and run off.
"Hey Leo," she whispered.
"Mmm, sleep," he muttered.
"May I role over?" she whispered.
"No," he whispered, nuzzling the back of her neck, causing her to giggle.
"Pwease," she made herself sound like a little kid.
"No," he whispered.
"Awe, come on, PWEASE!" she whined.
"Fine," he said, releasing his grip on her waist, allowing her to turn to face him.
"Thank you," she whispered, before he could even reply, she pulled him into a lip lock, when they broke apart he had a blank expression on his face, as he took a hold of her waist again.
"Leo?" she whispered, worriedly.
"You should really do that more often," he smirked, pulling her into a more passionate lip lock.
"Get a room you two," Kat groaned, "and keep it down." Krystal waved her hand in that direction, telling Kat to shut the hell up.
"Fine," she yawned, "be that way."
-In the Real world-
Sarah tapped her fingers on the table irritated by the book in front of her.
"WHAT THE CHEESE WHEELS DO YOU MEAN THAT THEY'LL NEVER COME BACK?" she finally shouted.
"They just won't, they will choose their own path," the book floated.
"Their own stinkin' path my ass," Michael growled, "they will come home…James won't stop calling, he is worried sick about Kat."
"Ah, I see the blonde boy still secretly loves her," the book tisked, "oh what a shame on him."
"Who can't see that he secretly loves her?" Sarah sighed. Suddenly there was a huge banging on the door, and Michael stood up and sighed, opening the door.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" they blinked as the brunette boy entered the room.
"You must be Anthony," Sarah sighed.
"Where is Krystal?" he demanded.
"WE HAVE NO IDEA; THIS STUPID BOOK IS REFUSING TO TELL US!" Michael shouted.
"Hmm…this is quiet interesting," the book mused.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Anthony fell on his butt seeing the floating book, "Look they've been missing for three weeks, where the heck are they?"
-Back where we were-
"Hey Leo," Krystal whispered.
"Yeah," he looked at her.
"How did we get to sleep, I remember fainting last night," Krystal blinked, looking at him.
"Um…you kinda freaked when…" Leo began.
"When Ginger and Spencer spoke to us?" she inquired.
"Yeah," he said, suddenly a pillow whapped him on the head.
"Shut up," Kat whispered harshly, standing up, a startled Don trying to calm her down.
"I forgot Kat, sorry," Krystal whispered, "You don't like to be woken up when you don't wanna wake up."
"That made no sense at all," Kat said, "I was having a really good dream."
"Fine, just go to sleep," Krystal grouched.
"Fine," Kat yawned, "I'm too sleepy to argue, or be random."
"Dang, I like it when you're random," Krystal frowned.
"You know what, let's not talk about my random moments," Kat frowned, "they're only funny to you and James."
"Yeah, James was…okay…a little too…"
"Smart moron like," Kat yawned, "I'm going to sleep now."
"Tell Momo I said hi," Krystal yawned.
"Kay, I'll tell him you said hi," Kat yawned, "Don I'll sleep on the floor, kay."
"No," he frowned.
"But couches are evil, they steal from you when you least expect it," Kat whined.
"It's true, or that only her couch does that," Krystal said, "just make her sleep on the couch."
"Fine," Kat pouted, "wait a second." She reached into her pocket, and pulled out a picture, "I still got it."
"Got what?" Don asked.
"A picture," Kat said, "of a guy dressed like a girl."
"No way…you still have that?" Krystal laughed.
"Duh," Kat yawned.
"If you two are done talking then you should sleep," Don said, literally dragging Kat to the other couch.
"Fun sucker," Kat pouted fully awake now.
"Ha, very funny," Don yawned.
"Yes, it is…" she grinned.
"Go to sleep," Don had to push Kat on the couch in order for her to lie down.
"Okay, night mommy," Kat giggled. Don didn't protest to that, he just touched her forehead the moment her eyes closed.
"Do I have to sleep too?" Krystal asked cutely.
"Yes," Leo said, "now sleep."
"Fine," she pouted.
-Thirty minutes later-
Krystal made her way out of Leo's grip without waking him…how, ask her. Kat on the other hand, just escaped Don's grip when she rolled off the couch, landing in a soft thud.
"You really gotta stop doing that," Krystal whispered.
"No, you really gotta stop noticing that I fall on my butt most of the time," Kat stuck out her tongue.
"Now, don't go there," Krystal waggled her finger. Kat just sighed and stood up blinking.
"Why were they sleeping with us?" Kat asked.
"Don't know, but it sure felt good," Krystal smirked.
"Hmmm, yeah it did," Kat nodded.
"Mommy," the two girls turned to see their pets standing there, wide awake, "are you better?"
"Okay, so we can talk to animals…cool," they two girls whispered.
"…" Kat was about to say something, really, really stupid, but Krystal covered her mouth and pointed at the two sleeping turtle boys.
Kat nodded making the 'okay' sign. As the girls tiptoed to take the dogs somewhere, a very drowsy Micco walked out of her room, which happened to be next to Mikey's.
"Where are you going?" she yawned, Kat took a hold of her arm and dragged her with them. They were surprised when they bumped into April and Casey.
"Where are you going?" Casey asked.
"Shhh…" Krystal shushed taking him by the collar and pulling him out of the lair.
"Should we leave a note?" Micco yawned.
"Nah," Casey frowned.
"Where are we going?" April asked following.
"We have a few questions," Kat said, "and they need to be answered."
- Central Park-
The five humans sighed as they sat under a shady oak tree, and watched the
sun rise slowly, while Spencer and Ginger just rolled around on the grass.
After taking a few moments to take in the beautiful scenery, the
conversation began.
Kat frowned, "Okay, explain." They were all now looking at the animals, who just stopped rolling on the ground.
"Okay, you smell nice, that's all I have to say," Ginger wagged her tail.
"But how did you get here?" Krystal asked.
"A glowing grey light, it was really pretty," the dog nodded.
"Oh, the same light that brought us here huh," Kat grinned.
"But how was Spencer a stole away?" Krystal looked at her cat.
-Flashback-
"Mom, I know, I just going to Kat's for a study session," Krystal said into the phone, as Spencer watched in curiosity.
Krystal grabbed her dairy and put it in her book bag, "Yeah, I know, I'll tell her sis you said hi." She rolled her eyes.
"Mommy you really shouldn't go alone," the kitten looked at Krystal as she talked on the phone when she wasn't looking; he hopped in, and curled up in her open backpack watching in boredom.
"Mom, why should I call him, he's a know-it-all," Krystal growled, turning to her book bag, and began to close it.
"Fine, I'll call Anthony when I get home after I get back," Krystal sighed, picking up her book bag, and walking out.
-End Flashback-
"WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT COMING?" Krystal slapped her forehead.
"I'm too cute to deny!" Spencer purred.
"He's right," Kat grinned.
"Yeah, I know," Krystal grinned.
"Umm…" Casey looked at the two like they were crazy.
"Oh, sorry, we're still not used to the idea of you two, talking to animals," Micco said.
"That's okay, neither do we," Kat said truthfully.
"Well, maybe we should learn more about each other…I mean…if you're staying here forever, right?" April said.
"Okay, where should we start?" Kat bit her lip.
"How about from school and junk," Casey shrugged. That was the biggest mistake he had ever made, because suddenly the girls spilt their guts on what Don and Leo over heard.
"Damn," Casey said, "that was..."
"Ouch," Micco winced.
"I never knew people could just do that for wanting your dreams to come true," April hugged them both, which caused Micco to want to hug too, and Casey, being Casey, just shrugged and joined in…that's when it happened. Kat and Krystal were glowing their colors (royal purple and royal blue) April was glowing a royal red, Micco was glowing a royal pink, and Casey was glowing a royal green.
The moment the hug ended, "What just happened, Mommy?" When Spencer asked this April, Casey, and Micco looked over at the animals with shocked faces.
Casey went wide eyed, "WHAT THE!...WE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU?"
"Okay, number one; which one of you two said that; and number two…YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE FOUR!" Micco said.
"Heh, I could get used to this," April said.
"NO WAY ITS KAT AND KRYSTAL!" they turned to see one of their many fans standing there, grinning from ear to ear. When their fan shouted this, it
was only a short time before they heard loud footsteps coming their way!
"OH CHEESE CRACKERS!" Kat and Krystal cried as a hoard of fans started chasing after them, April, Casey, Micco, and Ginger hosting as a ride for Spencer, ran with the girls.
"Crud, crud, crud, crud," Krystal repeated, "How did they find us?"
"Shut your yap and just run," Kat panted.
"Okay, I'm good with that," Krystal grinned. For an odd reason they ended up back at the place where they sung before…at the mall.
"We only need one more duet," the guy that announced them from before sighed as they entered; he brightened when he saw them, "We're having another contest, this time the prize money is ten thousand dollars, so you willing to sing again."
"That'd be cool," Kat said, shrugging.
"Okay, we only have two choices left," he said giving them the list.
"Yuck, I hate that song," Krystal said pointing at Pussy Cat Dollz song 'Stick With You.'
"Hmm, lets sing 'Playing with Fire,' sure not a whole lot of people are a fan of Hilary Duff's but come on," Kat grinned.
"Let's do it," Krystal grinned, "umm, Micco, April, Casey…Do you guys know how to play any instruments?" The three grinned, nodding.
"Woah dude! Do you expect us to go on stage in our pajamas?" As they looked at
their wrinkled clothes from the day before, and just as this was said, Casey, April, and Micco looked at their clothes.
They nodded in agreement, telling the guy that the two girls were right...
"No problem!" The man says in a cheery voice. Then he clapped his hands twice,
and before they knew it, seamstresses came out, one for each friend, and
pushed them into different rooms! Fifteen minutes later... They each
emerged one at a time...
Micco came out first wearing a hot pink tank top, a thigh high royal pink
jean skirt and royal pink sandals.
April was next, wearing a blood red tank top, a thigh high royal red jean
skirt and royal red sandals.
Casey came out wearing a moss green muscle shirt, Royal green jeans that
goes to his knees and royal green sandals.
Krystal stepped out of the room she was in, wearing a baby blue tank top, a
thigh high royal blue jean skirt and royal blue sandals.
And last, but not least, Kat stepped out, wearing a violet tank top, a
thigh high royal purple jean skirt and royal purple sandals.
After they all came out, they said together, "YOU GUYS LOOK GREAT!"
"YOU'RE NEEDED ON STAGE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!" and the girls giggled at the complements that Ginger and Spencer were giving them.
-Back at the Lair-
Don panicked, she said she would be there, but she wasn't, and Krystal and
Micco weren't there either.
"Don, do you know where…" Leo began.
"How should I know, they were here earlier and now…they're gone," Don blinked, "and Kat broke her promise."
"What did she promise?" Leo said standing up.
"That she would be here, so where are they?"
"Did you try April and Casey?" Leo asked.
"You kidding? I tried twice, but their shell cells are off," Don said in a sad voice.
"My sons?" the two looked at their sensei, who had just entered the scene.
"Do you have any idea where…" Leo began.
"Let me guess, they went missing," Master Splinters whiskers twitched, "they seemed pretty adventurous, when I met them."
"But how can we find them?" Leo asked, "I mean…they kinda…"
"There is a way to find them," the old rat said, "but it will be something that involves a spell."
"A spell?" the two asked.
"Micco is missing too," Don pointed out.
"Then she must be with them."
"Okay," Leo said.
Splinter pulled out a box; they had never seen it before.
"I have never seen that before, Master Splinter, what is it?" Leo asked.
"And you wonder why I know where you went when you sneak out," Master Splinter chuckled, he pulled at a grey orb, "you wish to know where they are…then say their names and it will show their ware bouts."
"Umm…shows us where Kat and Krystal are?" Leo asked. The orb began to glow, and an image came on the screen, Krystal was talking to Kat, Micco was talking with April, and Casey was scratching Ginger and Spencer behind their ears. 'YOU'RE NEEDED ON STAGE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!' When this was heard, the group nodded and began to make their way towards the other part of the screen.
"Okay, I'll wake up Mikey, and you wake up Raph," Don said.
"Wait, why do I have to wake up Raph?" Leo asked.
"Just wake him up," Don sighed entering Mikey's room.
"I WANNA SLEEP!" Mikey cried.
"Mikey, this is an emergency…so wake up!" Don's voice rang.
"Don, I don't care about your girlfriend breaking a nail, I just wanna sleep," Mike's voice whined.
After a long silence, Don finally said, "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Leo sighed, shaking his head and entered Raph's room.
"Raph…"
"Shut up Leo," Raph growled, "if it's about your girlfriend…"
"She's not my girlfriend," Leo defended.
-Ten minutes later-
"Okay, tell me why we're at a singing contest at…7:35 AM," Raph grouched.
"Don't know," Mikey said, "I just hope I can go back to sleep after this."
"Welcome back to our stage, Kat and Krystal, and their band, April, Casey, and Micco!" a roar of cheering and applause welcomed them as the group walked out on stage. April now was standing at the keyboard, Casey now was situated at the drums, and Micco now was playing guitar. Spencer and Ginger followed the two girls who now held microphones, to the center of the stage.
Kat: Play with fire...
"MARRY ME KRYSTAL!?" some insane fan cried out from the crowd. Leo glares in the direction of the guy, making a note to punch him later.
Krystal: I can't believe it's really you
been so long
you look good
Ginger and Spencer were on stage doing cute little dances on stage, making the girls coo at how cute they were.
Kat: I hear you're doing really well
don't ask me
let me tell you how I been since when you left
since you left me for dead
"TELL ME THE DUDE'S NAME AND I'LL BEAT HIM UP!" another random audience member.
Krystal: finally every tear has dried
I've wiped you
from my life
Both: Do you remember all the times you said you'll call me
cus' I remember all the reasons people warned me
and now I hear you saying that you still adore me
but if you think I'd ever get with you again
than you can just
Love me, love me, feed the flame
if you want me back again
burn to the sky
higher and higher
baby, can you play with fire?
"YOU TWO ARE AWESOME! PLEASE MARRY ME!" a fan called out making Leo and Don glare daggers at the guy three people away.
Kat: (burn to the sky)
Krystal: love me, love me
Kat: (burn to the sky)
Krystal: if you want me
Kat: You never know just what'd you got till' it's gone
you freak out
Krystal: but I'm not falling for that game
boys like you, never change
you made me feel I wasn't enough, wasn't enough
for your love
Kat: but it was insecurity that made you run
it wasn't me
Krystal: So, don't you sit there trying to give me more excuses
I don't have time for this
I'm off to play in Houston
Kat: and I'm too busy with a million things I'm doing
you can't make up for what you've done
you still try to be the one
Both: Love me, love me, feed the flame
if you want me back again
burn to the sky
higher and higher
baby, can you play with fire?
Krystal: (burn to the sky)
Kat: love me, love me
Krystal: (burn to the sky)
Kat: if you want me
Both: Oh, by the way, by the way
I found someone
who gives me space
keeps me safe
makes me sane
found someone to take your place
I am safe
in his arms
and I decided that only he can play with fire
The five all winked at the same time at the audience, making everyone
SCREAM!
Love me, love me, feed the flame
if you want me back again
burn to the sky
higher and higher
baby, can you play with fire?
Kat: (I can't believe it's really you)
Krystal: love me, love me
Kat: (I hear you're doing really well)
if you want me
Krystal: (finally every tear has dried)
Kat: love me, love me
Both: (boys like you, boys like you)
play with fire
The group took their bows as the audience screamed, "ENCORE, ENCORE, WE WANNA AN ENCORE!" Of course that meant they won, they waved and went backstage.
"I seriously ain't going back there," Raph grouched, "I'm staying here."
"But then you're dreams of becoming a body guard will come true," Mikey laughed.
"We gotta get back there before…" Leo began trying to get back stage.
"The fans…" they were almost crushed by all the fans rushing back stage, good thing they were Ninjas.
-Back Stage-
"WAHOO, I HAD NO IDEA THAT WE WOULD ROCK TOGETHER!" Micco cried, flipping her hair back.
"Yeah…" Casey began.
"OMG, WE WANT YOU'RE AUTOGRAPHS!" majority of the stadium was backstage, surrounding them.
"Wow," he said.
So pretty soon they were signing…millions of autographs, suddenly…
"BACK IT UP!" the crowd looked at Raphael (who was in his disguise) and blinked.
"Why?" a guy asked.
"BECAUSE I SAID SO, NOW MOVE IT!" he growled.
"Okay, Raph, what was that about?" Kat asked.
"I'm your body guard so live with it," he growled.
"Okay," Krystal said, "Wait, if you're here then…"
"Then…that must mean…" Kat said.
They felt a pair of hands on their shoulders.
"You have got some explaining to do."
The two turned to their very irritated faces, "Okay, but not here, kay?"
"Fine," Leo sighed.
"Did I do good?" the two girls looked at Spencer and Ginger.
"You two rocked," Kat grinned.
"Casey…WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU PLAYED?" Raph demanded his best friend, trying to push back fans.
"Is he always this grouchy?" Spencer asked Casey.
"Majority of the time, but hey I'm like that too," Casey answered the kitten.
"Umm...Casey, are you talking to the cat?" Raph asked.
"Yeah, so he asked me something that demanded to be answered," Casey said.
Mikey watched as his sister, April, Kat, and Krystal talked to the dog.
"Have I lost it?" he asked himself.
"Don't you remember what Splinter told us last night?" Leo shook his head.
"Nope," Mikey answered.
-Flashback-
"So you're saying that they can give powers to three people that they trust," Casey said skeptically.
"Yes Mr. Jones," Master Splinter nodded.
"So you can like talk to animals as well?" Mikey asked.
"There is no way that they would trust you that much," Raph snorted.
"Hey," Mikey whined.
"But there is a catch," Master Splinter said, "it is after powers are transferred to two others."
"So what you are saying is that…two of us have powers," Don said.
"Yes, but it takes longer for their powers to become known," Master Splinter nodded.
"So it could be me?" Mikey asked.
"No," Master Splinter said, "you will find out soon enough."
-End Flashback-
Minutes later the group was on their way to the pizza place, Kat and Krystal worried about what they were about to explain.
"You know it's too early for pizza," Mikey said.
"No it's not," Raph grouched.
"Okay, maybe you should explain now," Don sighed a bit hurt.
"Okay, you know that dogs have to be taken out," she looked at him, "and I kinda forgot okay."
"That doesn't explain Krystal," Leo looked at her.
"I wanted to go with her," she shrugged, "plus Micco was with us."
Micco was about to say something, when yet again fans started screaming and began to chase them.
"WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THAT FIRST CONTEST!" Kat and Krystal cried, running.
"WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER HELPED THEM WITH THIS ONE!" Micco cried, as she, April, Casey, and Ginger with Spencer on her back ran for the hills.
Raph just watched as they ran.
"This beats anything I have ever seen," he chuckled.
"Okay…maybe we should save them," Don said.
"No way, I wanna see this," Raph laughed.
"Lets just save them," Leo suggested, begging to run after them. Don nodded and followed, but Raph and Mikey.
"HA, THEY DO LOVE THEM!"
CLIFFY!
PLEASE R&R!
