Chapter 3 – Popper's Power overload and a Temporary new look
"It was scary when it got dark...what if it happens again?" Washu asked.
"I don't know...like the kids flashlights didn't even work," Popper said worried.
"I know it's like something sucked all the power out of all Messiaen and power grids," Orion added.
"I'm just going to think for a little bit" Popper said. Popper went up to his room and sat on his bed. "what is going on out there?" Popper asked himself. "Maybe it was heat lightning?" Popper asked himself again before falling asleep. Popper found himself in the middle of a thunderstorm staring into the light show wondering how he got there, and then he was woke by a familiar voice.
"Hey, Popper, wake up we're going into town to look around," Orion yelled.
"What!" Popper said falling off the bed and landing on his head.
"Are you ok?" Orion asked going over to help him up.
"No No I'm fine you just startled me that's all, i had this weird dream though," Popper said sitting at his desk.
"about what?" Orion asked. "I don't know i was standing in front of a flashing lightning and the i woke up..." Popper answered.
"what do you think it means?" Orion asked.
"I don't know..." Popper answered.
*meanwhile* "So, Do you have any human friends?" Washu asked.
"Well yes, Victoria..." Vetrina said. Little did they know was something or someone was watching them.
"Ok lets go," Washu said.
"Ok" Vetrina added.
"So how far does she live?" Washu asked.
"Oh just a street away," Vetrina answered.
"Oh boy...look what's coming down the road... Princess strawberry hair," Vetrina said.
"Who?" Washu said in confusion.
"hey look who it is," Mertle whispered to the Girls.
"Hello, Vetrina" Mertle said in a mean way.
"Hello, Mertle Edmonds...get beat up lately?" Vetrina asked.
"when and who beat her up?" Washu whispered.
"Lilo, a year ago in the park," Vetrina whispered.
"No! i'm looking for her, i had to suffer with the black eye for 2 weeks, and when i find her i'm going to give her pay back" Mirtle said.
"Yeaaaaah!" The girls said following everything Mertle said. Vetrina glared at the girls and then looked back at Washu.
"Well, you wouldn't be saying that if you saw Lilo now...would you" Vetrina said looking back at Mertle. Mertle stared at her and thought of something to say to that. "I thought so...I know what to do...hold on" Vetrina said as she turned towards Washu for a meeting "we need to make a plan for these 3 girls..." Vetrina said.
"Maybe Popper can do something," Washu said.
"Washu you're a genius!" Vetrina yelled. "Girls wait right here," Vetrina said as she ran towards the house. The girls stood there in the middle of the road scratching their heads. "There they are!" Vetrina yelled.
"Mertle, Don't you ever learn?" Popper asked while crossing the street.
"Learn what?" Mirtle asked in a nasty tone.
"Lilo punch you because she had enough with you," Popper said. The Creacher in the bushes was on the move. Popper's ears moved towards the sound and scratched his head and continued. "Ok Mertle, and young ladies, I have a test for you." Popper said with a smirk on his face.
"a test? what kind of test? does it involve beating Lilo to a pulp?" Mertle asked a hole bunch of questions.
"No, geez why would i let you do that? besides she kill you." Popper stated.
"Then what." Mirtle asked.
"I'm going to turn you three into Experiments" Popper stated.
"WHAT?" The girls yelled.
"You heard me," Popper said glaring at them.
"I don't have time for this, Give me Lilo!" Mertle demanded.
"LILO, CAN YOU COME OUT HERE PLEASE" Popper called. Lilo came running out and when Mertle saw she nearly lost her balance.
"You can't beat her Mertle so give it up" Orion said from the tree.
"Orion's right, so stop thinking you can." Popper stated.
"Mertle Edmonds, you got to stop thinking you're better than others," Lilo said.
"That's why I'm going to turn them into Experiments for a day," Popper added.
"ok that sounds good." Lilo said smiling. Popper got in possession and started to power up for the transformation. As Popper powered up he noticed that his power was growing too rapidly and he tried to slow it down, but it was too late. He blasted a huge blue ball that engulfed Mertle and the girls. When it was done the girls were Experiment, Mertle was blue and red and had a spiral with a musical note on her back, The girls same symbol on their back but they were purple and blue. Orion jumped from the tree and looked at Popper and was shocked Popper stood there Blue all over his body and red on his belly and his eyes were green.
"What are you looking at?" Popper asked.
"look for yourself" Orion replied. Looked at his paws and felt light headed.
"my fur is blue? why?" Popper said falling to his knees.
"Anything but blue!" Popper screamed.
"Oh brother..." Orion said.
