Me: WHAAAT? Character Academy update? On a Thursday? Obsurd!

Finn: Happy Birthday! Yes it's your birthday.

Me: Two Character Academys in one week?

Finn: We took pity on you.

Chapter 13

Kat POV

Where was Finn? I remembered the crocodile always trying to eat people for a few years. That made me even more hysterical, thinking that Finn had already been eaten.

"Gar!" I yelled, stomping my shoes into the murky water. I heard a squeaking noise and swiveled my head to see the rats from SkyClan crawling up the walkways.

"Hey guys! You know that guy that you helped earlier?" The lead rat twitched his whiskers at me.

"Lawrence?"

"Yes! He got taken by crocodiles and I need to find him…"

"Psh. Crocodiles are too… bleh. Let's go," the rats started to scurry away before I realized alligators made them mad for some reason.

"Uh! Wait! I mean, uh, alligators! Alligators took… Lawrence!" They stopped and turned to me.

"Alligators?" he said, his voice rising with anger. "I HATE ALLIGATORS! Where did you last see Lawrence?" I smiled to myself and pointed in the spot where Finn had been taken.

"Swim, minions! Swim!" the rats went under for a few moments before popping up and squeaking Ratalian, the language of rats, before the main one spoke to me.

"There's a hatch underneath the water. You will find Lawrence there. KILL ALLIGATORS!" he growled before the disappeared down the sewer. I reached down into the water and felt the hatch lift . I looked down and saw the faint outline of it through the water. I stuck my feet in and sailed down the chute where, to my confusion, I heard singing.

Finn POV

"Um, guys, couldn't we talk this out?" I asked.

"No!" they chorused.

"Oh come on!" I exclaimed. "Let me live? I have dreams in the future! Haven't you guys dreamt of something?" I asked. It was meant to be ignored but they all froze and looked at me. A Viking-looking guy stepped forward. He raised his battle axe up and let it clatter to the floor.

"Hit it, Ed!" he said. Mr. Ed, the dancing horse, was sitting by a radio and hit the play button.

"I dreamed of becoming a prodigy!" he sang. He sat down at the piano and began to play. "My mother would be so proud of me! I once dreamed that I would be the next Mozart, or Bach! But all I can ever be is mean! A Viking!" I stared as everyone in the room began to sing in unison.

"We all have dreams! We all have dreams! We sleep all night until our dreams burst at the seams, yes we have dreams! We all have dreams! And then we transfer over to…"

"The Big Bad Wolf!" he roared. He cleared his throat and began to sing as well. "I dreamed of falling in love!" all the females in the room sighed. "And giving my new beau a dove! I once dreamed that I would be desired! But all I could ever be is rough. The Big Bad Wolf!"

"We all have dreams! We all have dreams! We sleep all night until our dreams burst at the seams, yes we have dreams!" they continued the chorus and a few more villains came up and sang. It was weird, because everyone happened to know the lyrics like they had rehearsed this before. I just stood there as they all sang before me. Then, they broke into a choreographed dance while singing and jumping and knocking over chairs. Smee came up.

"I dreamed of becoming a great sea captain! Sailing from Greenland to London! I once dreamed I would be the next Blackbeard, or Captain Hook," he added in quickly as a pirate glared at him. "But all I can ever be is clumsy and hope to impress my mumsy. First Mate Smee!" They broke into chorus again and Smee spun the evil witch from Snow White in a circle at the same time as everyone else. I edged towards the exit, hoping to go unnoticed but someone saw me.

"What's your dream?" they asked me. Mr. Ed stopped the music and it was totally silent. Was I supposed to sing? Oh great.

"I dreamed of becoming the leader of our nation," I sang. This was really awkward. There was no music. I jumped on the nearest table for the next line. "Standing on a podium tall and proud!" On cue, everyone said, "Hail to the Chief!"

"I feel the world could need some changing and the dinosaur sites need excavating. If there was a chance I would be somehow!" I said. I began to get into it and totally forgetting that I was singing.

"Somehow!" they all crowed and the Muses began humming to the music that had just been turned back on.

"If I could be chief of the United States, I would never stand for polluted lakes! I would clean them all if I could, and giving the homeless house supplies like wood!" I noticed out of the corner of my eye a movement that I would later realize as Kat. "Only if, too many ifs, if I could lead the nation! Finnegan Whitman!" The broke into chorus and they lifted me off my table and lead me to a stage that had mysteriously appeared. They danced with me as I was sent to the stage. Blackbeard was lighted up my colorful spotlights and background dancers.

"I once dreamed of becoming a star! And traveling near and far! But sadly, I'm stuck in," he sang. Suddenly, the background dancers were playing extreme saxophone and jazz music, making a loud sound after every word he said. "This. Pit. Of DEATH!" The Muses appeared and sung with him. After the note ended and the music ceased playing, everyone was clapping, cheering and whistling. I turned and saw Kat staring at me from across the room. I was glad she rescued me, but wondered if she saw me sing. She smiled at me, meaning she did.

Me: Finn wants to be the president! Sorry my part was short! It's apparent that Finn's POV was more important.

Finn: I can't believe you made me sing.

Me: Heh. You still sing in the shower.

Finn: How would you know that?

Me: You're very loud. I also think you use my hairbrush as a microphone.

Finn: -blushing furiously- Stop it! I'm signing off!

Me: Wait NOO-

R & R? See you all tomorrow! Then the week after next!
