Is only four pages because I COULD NOT think of anything else to write so I could end my chapter with slight suspense the way I like to do. ^^ I got it from R.L. Stine, yes. HE ROCKS!!!
Jazz flew through the air as Kitten suddenly forgot about her annoying cousin's voice. She walked down the street, smiling at the smell of gumbo and beignets. But, suddenly, her phone rang. Her ring tone was playing "Shut Up and Drive." She picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?" she said.
"Kitten!"
"Melinda?"
"Kitten! Where are you?"
"I'm…uh…"
"Wait--is this long distance? You sound like your calling from China."
"I guess." Kitten added to herself, "I never really thought about that."
"Thought about what?"
"Nothing."
"Where ARE you?"
"I'm in New Orleans." Kitten blurted out. Her eyes widened, slightly, until she remembered Melinda would never believe her.
"No, really. Where are you?"
"I'm at a restaurant." Kitten responded, stopping by Tiana's Palace.
"How'd you get to a restaurant that fast?"
"With my watch."
"……What?" Melinda sounded completely dumbfounded. Kitten laughed.
"I'd have to show you. But, I'm not sure if I should. I only show my close friends my favorite place to go."
"But--"
"By, Melinda." Kitten said, snapping her phone shut and putting it in her pocket. She walked into Tiana's Palace and sat at a table. She eyed the room watched as two teenage boys blew their soda out of their noses. Kitten chuckled. Her thoughts were soon broken when she heard a sudden clash. She whirled around and eyed the bathroom doors. She stood up. CRASH! There it was again. Then she heard screeching. She ran to the girls' bathroom and rushed inside. Tiana was standing in the middle of two familiar shadows as they clawed at each other, hissing and screeching and knocking stuff over, trying to get to each other.
"Kitten! Help me!" Tiana said.
"Lynn, SIT!" Kitten commanded. Lynn looked and saw her. She automatically did as she was told. The other shadow glared at her. Kitten laughed. "What?" The shadow crossed its arms and flew out the door. "YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE GIRLS' BATHROOM!" she yelled after it. Tiana panted.
"Why were they fighting?" she asked.
"I don't know." Kitten shrugged, "I just got here." Lynn stood up and snuggled against Kitten.
"Faci is being mean." she said.
"Aw, really?" Kitten asked her, "Well, come on. Let's go fix that." As kitten began to leave, Tiana asked,
"You're not going to go mess with the Shadow Man, are you?"
"Maybe." Kitten replied, before dashing out the door with Lynn following her. Tiana sighed. Lynn could've out run Kitten in a second, but she kept behind her as Kitten ran around the corner. When they got to Facilier's "yard" Lynn hid up in a tree. Kitten giggled as she went to knock on the door. She hesitated, then turned the knob. She opened the door slipped inside. Lynn followed her under the door. Kitten looked around at the room.
"Lynn, where is he…?" Kitten began. Suddenly, she heard a pot clang and Vena dived through the double doors of the kitchen in a pot, spinning around.
"YEE HAA!" she called. "EEP!" She hopped out of the pot in time to dodge Dr. Facilier as he tried to tackle her. Lynn hid behind Kitten as Vena dashed down the hallway to her room. Kitten ran after them and looked down the hallway. The door to her room was wide open. She ran into the room to find the two under her blanket, squirming around. Kitten shrugged and looked at Lynn. Then, she took her two fingers and whistled. The blanket froze. Then, Facilier poked his head out, holding Vena tightly.
"Umm…hi." Kitten said.
"Hi, Kitten!" Vena said, looking relieved.
"Hey, umm…Facile, Lynn told on you." Kitten giggled. Facilier glared at Lynn, who gave him a huge smile in return. He rolled his eyes and shoved the blanket off of him, throwing Vena onto the floor.
"Hey, watch the landing!" Vena shouted.
"Tired?" Lynn said.
"Yeah, I'm tired." Facilier replied. He looked at Vena and breathed in, "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Kitten clawed at him playfully and made a cat noise.
"You really are grumpy." she said.
"What's it to ya'?"
"Stuff." Kitten walked over to him and whispered in his ear, "Oh, and…this is my room." Facilier waved his arm sin the air.
"Don't breathe in my ear!"
"Aw…why? Is it bothering you?" Kitten replied.
"Kitten, I mean it. Don't mess with me today." Kitten walked over to Lynn, who was on the cabinet.
"Why? It's fun to watch you break stuff." She paused, "So, why were you after Vena again, anyway?"
"Because I borrowed his hairspray." Vena said. Kitten burst out laughing.
"You SPRAY your hair that way?!" she laughed, holding her stomach. "And Vena! You're a doll!"
"I wasn't using it for my hair. I thought it was cooking oil." That made Kitten laugh even harder. "But, the kitchen caught on fire." Kitten couldn't breathe. She fell onto the floor, kicking in the air and still laughing.
"Oh, whatever." Facilier said, standing up. Kitten didn't stop to reply as he walked out the door. When she finally calmed down, she glanced around.
"Kitten?" Lynn said, "Umm…beignets?" Kitten sat up. "Go ahead. I'll catch up." She stood up as Lynn dashed out the door. Kitten ran after her, followed by Vena. They ran down the street to Tiana's Palace and through the doors. Kitten took her time, walking down the road as she watched people walk into the restaurant. She watched a young couple go in; then a mom and her three cute kids; then a girl with red hair. Finally, she made it in and ran right into someone. Kitten rubbed her eyes. The red-haired girl turned around, her braid flying into Kitten's face.
"Don't run into me again!" she said, harshly, waving a filer at her like a weapon.
"Hey, it was an accident…" Kitten said. The girl didn't reply. Instead, her flipped her hair and walked off. "Well, that was rude." Kitten walked in line to order as Lynn waited eagerly for food.
"…and this one dude was totally freaked out." Kitten was telling, "He saw Lynn and bolted out the door!" She and Facilier laughed a bit. Kitten was sitting of a sofa with a small coffee table in front of her. On the other side of the table, Facilier was leaning on a couch with his legs crossed on the table, completely relaxed.
Kitten had always loved this. They did it often when Facilier was in a good enough mood. Lynn called it Talking Tuesday, even though most of the time, it wasn't Tuesday. Lynn flew up to them.
"Beignet?" she asked, holding out a plate of beignets.
"Sure."
"Why not?" Kitten and Facilier spoke both at once, both taking beignets. Facilier popped one into his mouth.
"You know, Kitten," he said with his mouth full, "that thing you told me earlier about the guy with the frying pan…" He paused to swallow some of his food, "was hilarious!"
"Oh, really?" Kitten bit down onto her beignet.
"Yeah. And the explosion in the kitchen."
"THAT was priceless." Kitten pulled out another beignet and continued, "Naveen-Naveen was all like 'ASHIDANZA! My gumbo exploded! Tiana-Tiana, come here! I think it's ALIVE!'" Facilier and Kitten laughed as he stuffed his face with another beignet. "Tiana will never let him live that down!" After a few seconds, Facilier shot forward, his legs dropping from the table and starting to choke. Kitten gasped. But, in a few seconds, she was laughing. As she continued to laugh, she got up and slammed her fist into Facilier's back.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" she joked as he coughed. "Take a drink!" Facilier struggled to grab his drink, which he put to his mouth and sipped. Then, suddenly, Kitten gave a creepily cute smile. She slammed her hand on the back of his head, causing him to spurt the drink everywhere, including all over Lynn. Lynn squealed. As soon as Facilier could breathe, the two burst out laughing. Lynn morphed herself and wrung herself out. Vena walked in.
"Hey, where'd the swimming pool come from? Did Lynn pee on the floor?" she joked. Lynn crossed her arms.
"No, Facilier spit his drink everywhere." Kitten said. "He did it on purpose." Facilier looked at her with a face that said,
"WHAT?!" Vena giggled and walked by.
"Why did you say that?" Facilier asked her.
"Because I like to bug you." Facilier sighed and stood up. Suddenly, he stepped on his cup and tripped, falling onto his back.
"OH, MARIO!" Kitten yelled.
"What?!" Facilier yelled back.
"I'm…oh! I just remembered! Yesterday, I told Vena I was gonna make her a shirt. I'm gonna head to the material shop." Kitten slipped on her bag as Lynn slithered up to her.
"Can I come?" she asked.
"Sure. Just stay hidden." Kitten slipped on her coat. "I'll be back in a few, Facile."
"I'll be laying here." Facilier replied, his shadow sitting on the coach and watching them. Kitten chuckled and followed Lynn. Just as Lynn slid by the door, she slid back as it made a pounding noise. She squealed and hid behind Kitten.
"It's ok, Lynn. It's called knocking. It's what you do when you can't go through or under doors." She chuckled as Dr. Facilier perked up. He quickly stumbled to get up and put his hat back on. Then, he went to open the door. Kitten and Lynn perked up to see who it could be. In the doorway stood a tall woman with braided red hair and bright blue eyes. She had on pink lipstick and black shoes. She was wearing a green and white t-shirt with a pink skirt that went down to her knees. She smiled.
"Hi. Umm…what kind of store is this?" she said, innocently.
-TO BE CONTINUED-
Ok, not the best chapter I've ever done, but...it was funny, no?
If you're wondering about Kitten's random "Oh, Mario!" Nick does that. He's a kid in y class & every time he hears a bang or someone does something, he goes, "OH MARIO!" or "OH WALTER!" Lately, he's added, "OH BILLY! & "OH GEORGE!" to his comments. He says one of them, and it's so funny to hear him say it. It's also funny since no one in our class has any of those names. I like him & he knows I do, but he never says anything. If he asked me if I liked him, I'd probably say, "Yeah." or say "You know."
