About an hour later, Kat was sitting on Bert's couch and looking around like a tiny child who had never seen a classroom before. "Well dad, you weren't doing so bad before she came along."Kat sneered at Mary, it would be interesting to meet her, it would take everything she had to keep from beating her to death.
Kat stretched out on the couch and started whistling a catchy tune she had heard, then she let out a whistle and continued humming the song, then she found herself singing. "Reach for your dreams and you won't regret it, anything can happen, if you let it." She shot up when she heard the sound of a knob turning.
"What in the world did he do?" Kat thought. "It's good to see you actually got here." She snorted as she folded her arms across her chest.
Bert just gave her a look and thought to himself "I have a curfew, in my own house?" Kat didn't even have to turn around and look, she all ready knew how he was looking at her, and also what he was thinking.
"I'm not saying you have a time limit, I was just worried, ya know, there is a killer on the loose, or so I am guessing." Kat said as she cracked her knuckles, that noise made Bert cringe and Kat knew it.
"Laura Michelle, do you want me to 'elp you find your parents? I know some chimney sweeps in London that can tell you where they are." He said.
"NO!" Kat shouted, then she bit her tongue and continued. "I mean, no, I want to prove I can make it on my own, now if you do not mind me asking, just where were you at?" She asked.
Bert shook his head and rolled his eyes, this teenager was acting more like his daughter, and it was beginning to get annoying.
"I was out, that's all you need to know." He said as he walked into the kitchen, with Kat on his heels.
"Why won't you tell me where you went, I won't tell anyone where you went." Kat said as she sat on the counter, in front of Bert. He did not like this girl at this point, who did she think she was? Sitting on the counter, asking questions, what was next?
Kat swung her legs back and forth like she did when she was little and every few seconds her heel would hit one the cabnits, this was really starting to agitate Bert. He finally had had enough. Bert picked Kat up and put her on the floor, like a dad would do to his child when they would set them on the floor. Kat's mouth dropped open.
"That was really really awkward." She said as she looked into Bert's brown eyes, while he looked back into hers.
"Well, if you will stay off the counter, I won't 'ave to do that will I?" He asked.
"True, so tell me, where did you go?" She asked.
"I went to an old friend's house, and that is it, I promise Constable." He said as he held up his right hand as if he were taking an oath.
"Nice, well, where can I sleep?" Kat asked.
" 'Ere I'll show you." Bert led her upstairs and into a small room that had a bed and a bookshelf full of books.
"This is tight." She said as she looked around.
"Your dress is tight?" Bert asked.
Kat ran her tongue across her teeth and tried not to laugh, she had forgotten that tight here meant something totally different.
"No, I mean, right, right.for.me." Kat paused between words, she knew by the look on his face he had no idea what she was saying, so she just nodded. "Thanks, Bert." She hated calling her father by his name.
"Your welcome Laura Michelle." Bert smiled at her.
Kat held out her arms, beckoning for a hug, and Bert obliged. She hugged him tight, this guy didn't know it, but he was her father still, and she just loved the way he held her, Mary was lucky to have someone like her dad.
"Night Bert." She said as she pulled away and sat on the bed.
"Night Laura Michelle." He said as he walked out.
When she waited for all the lights to go out in the house, this was when she would make her escape, she knew Mary was here in Greenwhich, and she was going to find her, and meet her mother in this era.
Kat slid down the banister and opened the door quietly, sadly the damn thing creaked and squeaked like a mouse. "This is just my luck isn't it?" She asked herself as she sneaked through the small crack she had made. Thank God she was lanky like her father, or it never would've worked.
She made her way into the night, hoping whatever or whoever Jane was afraid of was not out lurking. Kat had absolutely no clue where she was going, so she stopped, and closed her eyes and took in many deep breaths.
"Think Kat think."A light went on in her head. "Albert Wigg!" She said as she snapped her fingers and took off, across the street, down two alleys, and up Cherry Blossom Street.
She found the green door and put her finger on the doorbell to ring it, but stopped herself when a shadow loomed overhead.
Another thing she got from her father was his curiosity. She saw a ladder leading up to the roof, and she took her chance.
Her boots made it hell to climb the ladder up, but, it was worth it, she poked her head over the side of the roof, and saw a figure in black jump into the chimney stack.
"What in the world?" She asked as she climbed onto the roof and walked over to the chimney stack.
She circled around it and then finally took a peek inside. Kat looked around and then dove into the chimney stack, headfirst.
"WHOOOOOAAA!" She screamed as she slid down the stack. "OOF!" She said when she hit the floor. Soot flew everywhere causing many voices to cough, including Kat. She rolled out of the fireplace and when she stood up, she heard two screams, and then her own.
"OK! THAT'S ENOUGH!" Kat coughed. She could not see a thing, soot was covering her eyes and everywhere else.
"Who are you?" A woman asked.
"Kat, Kat Poppins." She replied as she wiped her eyes, then she immediately wished she could take what she had just said back, for she was staring back into the eyes of none other then Mary Poppins, herself.
"What did you just say?" She asked as she fanned the air with her gloved hand, trying to clear the air.
"Uhh I said, Kat-choo! Kat-choo, poppin' in." Kat hit her forehead with her palm and shook her head. That was horrible, but that was all she could think of.
"Bless you." A male voice said.
"Thanks, do you have a hanky by any chance?" Kat asked, it was starting to get difficult to see again, and she needed to wipe her face off.
"Sure, here you go my dear." The man said and he held out a handkerchief.
She took it from him grasciously and wiped her face off, she heard Mary giggle, and she wondered why she was, but changed her mind about asking, she then opened her eyes again, and then saw her second favorite person, Uncle Albert.
"Uncle Albert?" She asked as she smiled, showing black teeth where the soot had cleansed her white teeth.
"Yes, but, who are you?" He asked as he took the handkerchief back.
"Laura Michelle Kelly." She replied. She looked over at Mary, who was looking back at her, as if she knew her somehow.
"Laura Michelle? That is a pretty name." Mary said.
"Thank you." Kat replied. "Obviously Laura's parents are going to think so to." She thought.
"So, where are you from?" Uncle Albert asked.
"London, I am staying with Bert Alfred, do you know him?" She asked, then she noticed Mary gasped.
"Yes, he is my best friend." Mary said before Uncle Albert could even open his mouth.
"Awsome." She said as she gave her the thumbs up sign.
Mary and Uncle Albert exchanged the same glance, neither knew what awsome meant.
"I mean, that is really nice." She said.
"Well, tell us some about you, if you don't mind me asking." Uncle Albert said.
"I fell through the chimney." She said as she pointed her thumb back to the fireplace.
Mary and Uncle Albert laughed. "I knew that part, I meant, how did you meet Bert?" He asked.
"This afternoon, he only knew me for a few moments and asked me to stay with him, he is really a caring man, I don't know how anyone could leave him." Kat said as she gave Mary a killer look, that she didn't understand.
"He is a really kind man, how old are you Laura Michelle?" Mary asked.
"I am 16." She replied quickly.
"How did you find my house?" Uncle Albert asked.
"Followed her." She said as she pointed her finger at Mary.
"How?" Mary asked.
"You flew over me, a little hard to miss there Buddy." Kat snarled.
"How do you know that I can fly?" Mary asked.
"You flew overhead, did we not just have this discussion?" She snapped.
"I apologize, I am very tired, Uncle Albert, I am going up to my old room, good night, Laura Michelle, tell Bert I would like to meet him in the park at noon." Mary walked out of the parlor and up the stairs slowly.
"Shouldn't you be getting back to Bert's?" Uncle Albert asked.
"Yeah, I'd better go now, he may wake up and freak, ttyl!" Kat said and she rushed out the door, leaving a confused Uncle Albert behind.
"TTYL?" He asked as he stared at the closed door.
Kat retraced her steps back to Bert's and decided she would slip in through a window, instead of the squeaky door again.
She saw one of the windows was open, there was her ticket. She jumped as high as she could and caught hold of the cill. She scratched at it for a moment and then felt the inside part. When Kat made it inside, she not only fell in, but flipped right beside the bed, that was not to far from the window.
Her foot was sticking straight up in the air, propped up against the bed, while the rest of her was lying flat on the floor.
"I would so not make it into the Get Smart team." She said as she got up quickly, then her eyes opened wide. Bert was asleep and he was facing her.
Kat clamped her hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. She saw the door was open, so she rushed out and into the guest room, not to mention, she sounded like a herd of cattle stampeding as she made her way in there.
"That was close, God, it seems in this time, I am a the world's biggest klutz." Kat said. She glanced at her hand, and it was still black, but it looked like it was fading. "What the hell?" Kat asked aloud as her hand returned to its form. "This is way to weird, what is this? The Twilight Zone?" Kat flopped on the bed and went straight to sleep, trying to figure a way out of this place.
Dude, if you really do crack your knuckles next to Gavin, he really will freak, I have not tried it, but have heard so. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my chapter, if it kinda confuses you a little with her hand kind of fading, just ask and I will be glad to explain it, though, in my next chapter, it will go into details. And sorry if you think Kat swears to much, but she's a teenager, and I am trying to make her like Ashley and Gavin as possible, so bear with me! ADIOS!
