Unatomic Stacey

Chapter 11: Guardian Angel

(Following Day after school)

I stepped of the school compound humming happily to myself. I had spent an awesome day chatting with Michelle and having fun. Unfortunately today she was going to Penelope's house and I DIDN'T want to go along. Not that Penelope invited me, but Michelle almost begged me to ask her.

"Ahem Stacey," I heard an extra sweet sugar coated voice say and I barely contained a snarl, "can you come here for a second?"

I turned to see June Trust. One of Penelope's three closest popular friends. Right behind her was Reed Johnson. I noticed that Trinity Twitch; Helen's stepsister, was absent. Probably at gymnastics class.

" We've noticed that you've been getting comfy with Michelle," June stated as she twirled a strand of her black shoulder length curly hair.

"Have a problem with it?" I asked darkly.

"On the contrary we're quite glad," Reed said in her usual rich feminine despite slightly deep voice, "it makes Penelope not WHINE about Michelle being lonely and trying to find ways to make Michelle be able to enter the popular elite," she said with disgust.

"It's really sad," June said even though the expression in her bright sky blue eyes told me that she found it amusing.

"But Penelope is worried if not say a bit jealous," Reed said softly as breeze played with her dark red waist length hair.

"I'm honoured," I said sarcastically as I stared straight into Reed's light green eyes.

"Just thought you should know," June said brightly, "that we approve and all," she said, "the whole friendship between you and Michelle," she added.

"Now I can die happy," I said and rolled my eyes.

"And that we accept your kind invitation to your birthday party," Reed added wiping away any happiness that was on my face.

"Bye," June said happily and the both of them walked off laughing.

I closed my eyes as I now growled loudly.

AHHHHH! I want to kill them!

(Fifteen Minutes Later)

I sat at a park disguised as a young businesswoman. It's surprising what a dark blue business suit, large glasses, black two inch heeled shoes, stockings and your hair in a bun can do along with changing your eye colour to a dark brown. I was watching Betty playing with that brown haired boy named Noah. They seemed to be having a nice time throwing around a Frisbee. By their casual attire I knew that they attended public school. I had no problem with that; in fact I kind of envied them.

Suddenly the Frisbee headed in my direction. I caught it and threw it back. Noah caught it.

"Thanks!" Noah cried brightly.

I smiled and simply nodded. I didn't know why I was sitting here watching Betty and Noah. But it just felt right. Like I was guarding them. But from what?

"Excuse me," Betty said and I calmly looked at her, "do you live here around here?" she asked me.

"Just passing through," I said with a slight English accent, "on business," I added hoping she wouldn't recognize my voice since I used a false accent.

"What kind of business?" Noah asked excitedly, "I want to be a business man."

"I'm a business consultant," I told him.

"Awesome," Noah said and sat beside me, "can you tell me about your job?" he asked.

"Uh, Noah," Betty said and I could tell she was embarrassed.

"No problem young man," I said brightly, "your name?"

"Noah," Noah told me.

"I'm Jennifer Rutherfield," I told him.

I spent the next hour speaking to Noah about business consulting and how to make it in the business world. I was glad that I knew lots about business so that I wasn't lying to him. I even gave him a few recommendations, reminding myself to call my friends in advance so that Noah would get responses and hopefully acceptances.

"Thank you," Noah said in awe, "I've never met such a nice business lady before Miss Rutherfield," he whispered.

"And I've met few young men with your enthusiasm for business," I said proudly, "I wish you all the best," I told him, "but I've relaxed enough and need to go," I said and rose to leave.

But suddenly I sensed something and looked up. I quickly looked as if I were searching for something but really the corner of my eye went to Betty's watch. I immediately noticed that it wasn't blinking. I knew that it usually beeped when it blinked but I just had to double check just in case the watch was malfunctioning. Obviously it wasn't.

"I guess it was just my imagination," I said with a sheepish laugh, "goodbye Noah and Betty," I said on purpose and started to walk away.

"How did you know her name is Betty?" Noah asked me and I smiled slightly at his observance.

"I overheard you guys saying talking as you threw that Frisbee," I lied, "well I hope you and the young miss have a nice evening," I told them, "I have to go see Stacy," I added and continued walking off.

"Wait!" Betty cried, "um, can I talk to you?" after asked me after I turned around, "alone," she added when Noah's face lit up.

"It's okay young man," I told him kindly when his face fell, "just look over the info I gave you," I said and he nodded enthusiastically, "follow me Betty," I instructed and she did.

I waited until we had turned into a lonely part of the park and I changed to my real form. Betty gasped for a moment, but then her face darkened.

"What are you doing here?" Betty demanded.

"Don't tell me that saying 'Stacey' wasn't a dead give away," I said.

"From when I saw your brown hair I was suspicious," Betty informed me, "but you saying my name confirmed it for me," she added.

"There's something wrong," I said seriously, "I'm not invading in Galactic Guardians business," I told her immediately, "I just sensed something because of my natural witch powers," I explained.

"What?" Betty asked.

"I'm not sure," I admitted, "it seems to be cloaked," I told her, "maybe you can contact Admiral Degill and see if he can figure it out," I suggested.

"I will," Betty responded, "but why were you here?" she asked.

"I don't know," I said, "it just felt right watching over you, I guess," I said softly.

"Like a Guardian Angel?" Betty asked.

"Yeah," I agreed, "um, just be careful Betty."

"I always am," Betty declared and gave me a salute, "for my Guardian Angel," she added with a smile and left.

I smiled and watched her go. It just felt right watching over her. Watching over an Atomic.

Wait. Maybe I can help the Atomics better this way. Secretly watching over them. Be their Guardian Angel. Yeah, that would work. I'd of course have to ensure I'm not caught and I won't be watching over that Tiffany bitch, but I know it will be worth it. Plus my Father would've wanted me to use my powers to help people. After all, he lost his powers because he defied his father who only wanted him to use his powers to do harm.

"Guardian Angel Stacey," I thought, "The Guardian Angel," I continued, "yeah I'll just let myself be known as that," I said happily and headed home.

End Chapter 11

Prominence Flare: Yes I'm glad to have finally been able to update. Well I'm glad you don't mind not guessing where the story's going. Well updating won't be a problem. Glad you reviewed and still seem to be enjoying the story.

Barry I. Grauman: Glad you enjoyed the change of pace Barry. Yes it's good that she has a new friend on Earth that she can trust. BUT it's more like she has finally made a friend at school than on Earth. She has friends but they're from the witch world (think kind of like in the comedy series 'Sabrina') and she rarely gets to contact them; plus they're also not that many. You just have to read and see when she gets in contact with her former crew. Okay, there seems to be a MIX UP here. The Penelope in this story is an OC, her name is Penelope KELLY not Penelope Lang from the series. She's much meaner than Lang even though they have similar basic personalities (they're both snobs). But it's understandable to wonder why a girl like Penelope would be friends with a girl like Michelle. Let's just say at rare times you end up making friends with the least expected people and Penelope's not stupid. She knows that her popular friends will abandon her the moment she loses her popularity. Let's just say Michelle is the only friend she has that will ALWAYS stick with her. I actually had forgotten the Lang girl's name when I had started this fic. It was later that I recalled it and found it kind of amusing. Maybe it was just something in my sub consciousness, I don't know. Can you imagine one day in a conversation that goes like this. Betty: I had such a long day at school. That usual snob was on my back all day. I barely escaped so I could answer the distress signal. Stacey: You had a bad day? The Principal at my school has got it in her head that I played the prank on her daughter Penelope that caused her to be covered in fish guts. I've got detention for a month and I just ran out of it to come here. I'm so dead! Betty: Did you say Penelope? Stacey: Yeah. And the girl's my numero uno enemy at school. Well she plus her mother. Betty: But the girl who gives me the hardest time at school is named Penelope too. Stacey: Her last name isn't Kelly is it? Betty: No it's Lang. Stacey: Well at least she's not her twin, I think. Betty: I doubt it. She'd boast if someone related to her went to a prestigious school like yours. Stacey: I guess so. Penelope wouldn't boast about a relative in public school. What makes Penelope so popular anyway? Betty: Let's leave it at a jerk that attracts hordes of followers that exclude people like me. Stacey: And Noah. Hey you're blushing! Betty: (blushes even deeper) No I'm not! This conversation is over! Stacey: Ha! Ha! You like him. Betty: (mutters) Not as much Glenissa likes Bart. (Stacey freezes in mid laugh) What? Why have you become so frozen? Stacey: I think I'll go for a walk. Betty: What? What did I say? Stacey: (starts walking away) Nothing, Nothing.

Well what did you think? Interesting? Revealing? Let me know what you think?

You'll see what kind of birthday party it is when I write it. Heh, Heh. Glad you liked Retch. Retch was always a dog, but let's just say in the past he was a very DIFFERENT type of dog. Well thanks for your reviewing and thanking me. Yes I've finally come back to this Saga. I intend to update it as often as possible now.

MikariStar: Glad you're happy that I've updated. Well here's another new chapter. Bart's secret will be revealed soon, don't worry about that. Well enjoy seeing both sides and the party will come soon enough. Thanks for reviewing.

Addition from ch9 review.

Beast Fire: Glad you're enjoying the story so far. Sorry about your life Ivy, I wish you all the best. Yes I can SEE the bitterness of your muse. Paine from the game Final Fantast X-2 used to be my muse but then I

decided to go museless and let her go. Well I've updated and hope to hear from you. I added you hear because I didn't notice you before. Glad to have a new reader.
