Me: CLIFFHANGER!

Finn: I remember what happened.

Me: If you don't, go read the last chapter! QUICK!

-'Stayin' Alive' plays-

Finn: Everyone knows that song, but not who it's by.

Me: WHO IS IT BY EVERYONE?

Finn: I know! It's the Be…

Me: SHH! Chapter-interruption-to-interrupt-Finn-from-blabbing!

Finn: What?

Chapter 21

Kat POV

I thought it was weird waking up to a bunch of people standing around me, like I was important. Then I realized something vastly more important. WHO THE HECK AM I?

"She's up!" a tan guy said cheerfully, blinding me with his white smile. I sat up.

"Who are you?" I asked. Everyone's faces fell. Someone muttered that sounded distinctly like a cuss word. "Where am I?"

"Uh… Kat? You're joking right?" I turned towards the voice. He was pretty decent, but he had a few leaves in his hair and scratches all over his face.

"Kat? Is that me?" I asked. I stood up and faced him. "And who are you? Who are ALL of you?" I was trembling now, not because of the rain.

"I'm Finn," Leaf Guy said softly.

"Apollo, god of… a lot of stuff," Smiling-Tan-Guy said.

"Legolas," a cute guy with pointy ears said. The others introduced themselves before vanishing into thin air.

"Is that normal?" I asked, waving my hand around where they were.

"She doesn't remember!" Finn was muttering. He seemed stressed by the news of my amnesia. Was that the word? Yeah.

"She'll be back soon, I promise, Finn. It'd be best to show her the office. Maybe she'll remember…?" Apollo whispered.

"I can hear you. You know that, right?" Apollo glanced at me for a moment before vanishing.

"Why do you all just vanish when you want to? Can I?" I tried. I squinted my eyes and pulled with all my might. I opened up one eye to see I was in the same grass area I was before. "Waste," I muttered.

"Come on, Kat. Let's show you your office," Legolas said. I followed him and then looked at Finn who was standing sadly in the field.

"Are you coming?" I called. He looked up and ran after us.

"Do you really not remember anything?" I shook my head in response.

"What is this place?" I asked, looking at an injured… was that a mermaid? I squinted to look. Sure enough, a mermaid was sitting on a rock soaked in water as one of the girls who introduced themselves when I awoke tended to her fin.

"Ariel gets in a lot of trouble when Ursula escapes," Finn said wistfully.

"Where are we?"

"Character Academy. Your school."

"I go here?"

"No, you're the principal," he corrected.

"Oh." I looked down. "Aren't I a little young to be principal of a gigantic school?"

"Yes. Yes you are," Finn replied. I gave him a weird look before we went inside a rounded building. There was another elf sitting at the front desk, typing away at his computer.

"Good evening, Miss. Kat. Sorry I showed up so early. You begged me to stay, but I refuse to miss a battle that influences the future of the school," he said apologetically. I nodded vaguely and wandered around. I turned into one room that was particularly bigger than the rest. There was a mahogany desk with notepads, computers, a phone, paper scattered everywhere, and a fluffy chair on wheels. I jumped on it and spun around.

"Whee!" I squealed, laughing as I came to a stop and spun again.

"That's your desk." I stopped spinning and looked up. The elf from the front desk stood there, watching me. He looked like he had just planned a funeral.

"Why are you sad?" I asked.

"Because, Miss. Kat, you are not your full self."

"Hey, don't be sad about that. I'll be fine," I reassured him. Had I made an impact on him so massive, it looked like his best friend died? I walked out and saw the rest of the staff looking at me like they were planning their own funerals. What was I doing? How could I principal of a school that I didn't even know existed? I looked at them all, probably terror in my eyes, and ran out the door. I didn't stop crying until I reached the place where I awoke. I needed my memories back. I wanted my memories back. Whoever took them better give them back, right now.

Finn POV

She was my kidnapper. She abused me sometimes. She could even be a bit irritating. But she was my friend all the same. And the fact that Kat would run out crying made me fear for my life. Whenever something bad happened, Kat would slap someone, tell them that strange quote from High School Musical: "What team? WILDCATS! Get yo' head in the game!" and threaten to bring them all in here for a concert. That usual cheered us up. Whenever we had to fight someone, a colossal army that could squash us to bits, she would show us the battle plan, and the second she spoke, we felt the spirited hope we would win, and we would. Kat made sure that we would. I decided that this was fate for me, for all of us. I would whip out a brilliant plan and we would win. I just needed to get everyone to 'smell the coffee', as they say.

"Listen up," I said. I didn't need to speak loudly, you could hear a pin drop at this rate. I cleared my throat. "Kat's loss was horrifying. Devastating, even. But look at us! Moping around like a bunch of… Melmans!" Melman the giraffe looked down dejectedly. "Not only are we mourning the loss of Kat's memory, we have a battle to win. One that might affect the future of this school. Candice has freed her army and was preparing to fight as we stand around. Kat is our strength. But she is also our weakness. Kat can fight and kill and capture every monster in sight, but we rely on her too much to protect us. We need to take care of ourselves. The Fates have intended this to happen, so we can go out there, and show that Kat doesn't always have to be around for us to win. What would Kat say right now? Huh?" I acted like a knew what I was talking about, which in truth, I did.

"She would threaten to make us listen to High School Musical," Silvia mumbled.

"That's right. She would make us listen to High School Musical. What else?"

"What team…" George the Redcoat mumbled.

"Wildcats," everyone whispered in response.

"I can't hear you," I said loudly. Spongebob, don't ask how he got in here, looked up.

"What team?" George repeated.

"Wildcats!" everyone chorused.

"GET YO' HEAD IN THE GAME!" everyone yelled.

"So now, instead of mourning for Kat, what are we going to do?"

"Play a basketball game?" Melvin the Purple Bunny Rabbit asked. Silvia smacked him.

"Battle plan!" Legolas exclaimed.

"Round up the troops!" George added.

"Play basketball!" Melvin yelled. Silvia smacked him again.

"Prepare weapons!" she said.

"Tear the enemy apart!" Delaney growled from the back.

"Avada Kedavra them!" Harry Potter chimed in.

"Turn them to stone!" Athena said.

"Choke them with grapes!" Dionysus suggested.

"Break their eardrums!" Apollo joined in.

"Strike them with lightning bolts!"

"Suffocate them with designer scarves!"

"Shoot them through the skull or impale them!" Ares completed. Everyone cheered and poured out through the halls to go accomplish something. I had done it. I had rallied together a bunch of insane 'generals', I guess. I was so proud of myself, I didn't notice the stapler knocked on the floor. I tripped over it and fell flat on my face.

Me: Clumsy Finn…

Finn: Hidden quotes?

Me: High School Musical was a given…

Finn: Oh! I know! Find the Phineas & Ferb quote and the Madagascar quote!

Me: You have a lot to do. I suggest you get on it.

Finn: Who sings 'Stayin' Alive'?

Me: Find the Phineas & Ferb quote…

Finn: And the Madagascar quote!

Read and Review? Such a sappy chapter. Like I would ever cry. Well, this is my fragile-I-lost-my-memory-wah self, so I wouldn't be surprised. New Hunger Games trailer! I'm actually disappointed. I thought it would be new footage, with Gale and Peeta in it, but noo… you've probably seen all the stuff in it in the teaser or Trailer Numero Uno. Oh well, my opinion. Go see it and see if I'm right. I am, aren't I?
