ONWARD! TO THE STORY!
The gremlins then advanced to the trees and climbed through the brown, autumn, crunchy leaves, Stripe, who still held Lenny tight, did the same.
"You're lucky that you're doing the mission Len otherwise, I would have made you climb the tree yourself." Stripe said, as he pulled himself up the last branch to get to the middle of the tree where the others were waiting.
Lenny only said nothing which made Stripe look straight at him.
"You're not scared of me...are you Len?" Stripe asked, curious, tilting his head slightly as he got to the end of his question.
Lenny's eyes then widened with surprise and, even though his hands were round his belly, one of his fingers could feel his heart, beating, loudly, like a drum, no, louder than that, it was faster than the speed of sound.
"Oh no! What should I say? I bet if I say yes Stripe will kill me, say no, just, say, no!" Lenny thought mentally as he looked into Stripe's cold blooded, red eyes
"Len? You're not answering me!" Stripe whined as he looked into Lenny's scared, little maroon eyes
"NO! No, I'm not scared of you Stripe; it's just that the mission... it's making me nervous." Lenny said quickly
Stripe smiled at him.
"Good, because, I don't want you to be scared, mark my words; I won't hurt you, ok? Unless you make mad. And I know that you won't do that, will you Lenny?" Stripe said, still smiling
"NO! No, of course not." Lenny replied
"Good. And, about the mission, just be brave, ok and be quick to cause it will be utter chaos if they see you when they get back." Stripe said, his smile turning into a straight face
Lenny nodded.
"So, you ready?" Stripe asked
Lenny only nodded again.
Stripe then pushed through the crowd of Gremlins with Lenny in his clutches and walked through to the edge of the tree first, he looked round to see if there was anyone out luckily, there wasn't. He then looked at Lenny.
"You ready?" Stripe asked again
"Of course I am." Lenny said politely
Stripe only nodded and quickly hoisted him up towards the target, the chimney.
"Ok." Stripe whispered to himself, he then started swinging Lenny slightly "3...2...1..." Stripe yelled, before he finally let go of Lenny.
Lenny, who was in the air, was heading for the chimney and was coming to the spout.
"WAHHHHHH!" Lenny screamed, as he tightly closed his eyes and fell down the spout of the chimney
Stripe, who was watching everything, smirked proudly and folded his arms, Mohawk then walked up to him with an annoyed expression.
"Why out of the 4 of us did you pick him, he's weak and a dumbo, even Daffy could do better than him!" Mohawk whined, annoyed as he folded his arms
Stripe only kept his eyes on the loft hatch.
"Mohawk, shut it!" Stripe yelled, not looking at him
Mohawk's mouth then dropped open and his eyes widened in shock, he never thought that Stripe would ever talk to him like that, especially with the other 3 Mogwai around, he was more evil than all of them and yet Stripe treated him like an outcast. So far, he was jealous, jealous of Lenny, he wanted to be Stripe's TOP Mogwai and 2nd in command, if necessary.
"I'll have a talk with Stripe later and ask him who he likes best, then that may put Lenny off liking him. Ha ha!" Mohawk thought as he grinned to himself in delight.
With Lenny...
Lenny slowly opened his eyes in mid-air to see bricks on the side which were going quickly out of vision and a fire casket at the bottom for his landing. Luckily though, there wasn't a fire brewing. Lenny felt like superman doing this.
He was now coming to the bottom of his destination he then quickly closed his eyes and twisted his feet ready for landing.
As Lenny landed though, he landed on his bottom then somehow bounced out of the fire casket and landed right next to it.
Dizzy, Lenny sat on his bum trying to stop himself feeling light-headed, he felt like fainting actually especially with banging his head on the side of the chimney when he landed inside of it. Lenny also felt his head going left and right over and over again, he slowly lifted his hands on it to stop it, he blinked his eyes, the room looked tilted and was going round, he felt really dizzy and light-headed. He sat there for a few seconds before it all came back to him, he then looked at his left arm and saw that there was a trickle of blood on his hand, just a tiny dot of it and there was a patch of fur that was blood stained.
"I must have scraped my arm as well as banged my head." Lenny thought to himself as he looked at the bottom of his arm, which was bleeding badly
Lenny then shrugged it off and stood up; he was in the living room of the house, he turned his head to look round at his surroundings there were brown leather seats with a fire casket, which he just came from, with a 42 inch TV above it. For the floor, there were floorboards, the wood coulor, and solid as a rock plus, there were different paintings all over the room, the wall was just pure white, there were also photos of family memories on the window silk.
Lenny then walked out of the living room and turned round to check to see if he could find anything loft related. But, throughout the whole room, he couldn't see anything so, he moved out of the living room and turned right to the coat rack, where there was actually nothing there cause of everyone taking their coat's out just before they made their plan to get in the house.
Lenny however was quite close to the coat rack, so, he moved backwards until he was against the wall and looked up, there was a shelf, but, it was above the coat rack. He looked closely at the shelf to see if there was anything that was on it, and, to his luck there was actually something there, it looked Silver and was gleaming in the hall light at him. Lenny smiled.
"Maybe that could be the key." Lenny thought to himself as he looked up at the silver, glimmering dot on the shelf "But how do I get up there?" Lenny thought again as he looked round, trying to find something to help him advance up to the silver object.
He then spotted a cabinet, which was next to the coat rack itself and got into a thinking pose. He stood in that pose for a few seconds before eyeing the nearest coat hanger and staring at it for a few seconds before looking back at the silver dot on the shelf. He then folded his arms and smiled, his plan ought to work great.
He then made a climb for the cabinet which was an easy climb up and looked up at the coat hanger nearest to him and smiled, his buck teeth sticking out with faith in himself and his plan. He then sighed and breathed in and out, still facing the hanger, walked to the edge of the cabinet and stretched his arms up.
Lenny then bent his knees and stood for a bit before finally jumping for the hanger with all the strength he had left in him and jumped for it.
When he got close enough to reach it, he held onto to it with a tight grip and just about looked up at the shelf, Lenny then slowly made his way to the beginning of the hanger and looked at the bottom of the shelf. When he was confident, he let one of hands his go of the bit nearest the shelf and touched the bottom of the shelf, then let his other hand drop from the hanger and pulled himself up to the shelf.
Tired, Lenny sat down cross legged on the shelf for a bit to cool down and to catch his breath back, working for Stripe was tiring. He looked down at the shelf when... the key was right next to him! Lenny blinked for a moment, then, made a grab for it, on the side of it there was a crumpled up piece of paper attached to the side of it.
"Loft key..." Lenny read from the paper before putting it to the side, his eyes then widened and, he read the paper again
Realization hit him as he smiled, proud of himself, his tiredness then washed away as he quickly jumped down from the shelf, landing on the cabinet, then, from the cabinet to the floor. He then looked back at the key. "Wow..." Lenny whispered before walking straight to the stairs.
He climbed up them all easy with the key in his hand, he clutched it tightly as he looked up at the ceiling for the loft hatch, and he then spotted it.
"Now how am I going to open that?" Lenny said to himself
He looked at his key, and then at the loft, there didn't seem to be a padlock or anything key related up there. He then looked to his right and spotted some kind of pull rope just touching the top of a basket box. Curious, Lenny climbed on top of the basket box and pulled it. When he did, escalated stairs came downwards to the bottom, where the floor was. He once again smiled, he loved this.
Lenny then climbed up the escalated stairs to the loft hatch, where he nearly banged his head on the ceiling he looked at the hatch closely and saw that it had one of them slide locks which you had to push it out of the way it was locked to open it. Lenny did just that, then, pushed the door forward, where it slammed hard on the old wood.
Lenny then helped himself up, still clutching the key tightly, he looked up at the sky lighter that be's on the top of the house and, he knew that was where the others were waiting to go through, he then saw a stepladder that nearly hit the ceiling in the corner of the loft. He then giddily skipped over to it and pulled it over to where the sky light was and climbed up it. When he came to the top, he saw a padlock and it was also chained up so no-one could get in or out of.
"This must be where the key goes." Lenny thought as he put the key straight into the hole of the padlock.
As he turned the key, it clicked, which mean it worked, he then finally pulled the key out, letting all the chains plus, the padlock fall to the ground. Once he done that he pulled the sky lighter downwards by the handle and... It was open!
Lenny then jumped up towards the bar of the sky lighter and pulled himself up to the roof and wiped his forehead when he got up, he then looked towards the gremlins in the trees and gave them thumbs up, meaning that he done it and that they could come over.
"Stripe, LOOK!" Brain yelled, as he pointed to Lenny through the leaves
"What? What is it?" Stripe asked, as he tried to push Greta off his chest
"It's Lenny! He made it!" Brain replied, smiling
"WHAT! LET ME SEE!" Stripe yelled, as he pushed through many Gremlins
Stripe then got through and looked through the leaves that they were hiding in and saw Lenny right over there.
"You'd better get everyone ready Stripe." Brain said, smirking as he looked at Lenny, who was waiting patiently
Stripe's face just turned to anger.
"NO WAY! CORRECTION, you get everyone ready, I'm going to Lenny." Stripe shouted "OUT OF MY WAY!" he shouted rudely as he pushed Brain aside so he could get to the edge of the tree to show himself.
"Humph. How charming. NOT!" Brain whined, he was getting frustrated with Stripe. AGAIN!
"Lenny! That was spectacular! You did great, I'm so proud of you! We'll be over once Brain gets everyone together." Stripe yelled from the tree to Lenny
Brain only growled as he heard Stripe say his name and frustrating job. This made Mohawk and Greta laugh under their breaths and some of the spawned Gremlins as well. Brain only gave Stripe a death glare with his teeth gritted however, Stripe was too busy with Lenny to notice.
Lenny only smiled as Stripe said kind words to him, he really loved it.
"Wow, this is great! I did it! My first mission by myself and I did it!" Lenny thought to himself as he smiled, full of pride "you know, I love working for Stripe, he's different, he may be bossy sometimes but, he always has something good to say at the end of it. He's made me really confident." Lenny thought again as he smiled, thinking these good thoughts "I should work for him more often y'know Stripe is the only Gremlin that's ever had faith in me well, maybe George now and again but, Stripe's faith was a lot stronger. I can't wait to help him kill Gizmo. Wow... maybe I am a really evil Gremlin." Lennythought, smirking
"And surely there's that evil Gremlin inside of you waiting to come out." Stripe's voice in his head replayed it over and over again
That saying replayed in Lenny's head over and over again. He could picture Stripe saying it repeatedly, like a record. "What did he mean by that?" Lenny thought, then frowned "All I'm used for is lifting things and being told what to do, I'm like a slave, you know, I'm starting to debate now on whether helping Stripe is good idea. I bet he'll start bossing me about and teasing me, just like Mohawk. I bet you!" Lenny thought mentally
Anger rushed through him like a tidal wave, he didn't even know who's side he was on anymore. His thoughts were then interrupted by Stripe landing on the roof with a loud THUD! This made Lenny fall back with surprise he was grinning at Lenny in a sadistic way whilst folding his arms.
"Good job Len." Stripe said, before grinning again
"Heh...thanks." Lenny said nervously
Lenny then started moving backwards slightly but, Stripe only jumped to the other side of the sky light and picked him up again.
"There's no need to be scared Len. I can see it in your eyes, I won't hurt you, ok?" Stripe said, trying to put it in his best comforting words
Stripe then laid him down in his arms and held him as if he was a baby.
"See? Am I hurting you now?" Stripe said, whilst grinning
Lenny quickly shook his head.
"Good." Stripe replied, he then turned to the gremlins in the tree "Ok, everybody in!" he yelled
Then, all the spawned Gremlins came running and jumping down the skylight faster than 10,000,000 cheetahs'. Daffy then soon joined them, by doing a mad laugh, then cannon balled down. Greta then came past, blowing a kiss at Stripe before jumping down quickly. George then came past giving Lenny thumbs up before jumping down as well. Next was Mohawk, he stopped when he saw Lenny and gave him a death glare, which made Lenny cringe, before jumping down wildly.
Brain then came up to both of them and smiled at Lenny.
"Good Job!" he mouthed to Lenny before giving Stripe a death glare and joined the others by jumping down
"So Lenny, want to jump down yourself?" Stripe asked, whilst looking at Lenny
"No thanks." Lenny replied, whilst looking down at how high it was to jump "I'd rather go with you." He said to Stripe, whilst looking back at him
Stripe only smiled.
"Ok then." Stripe said as he grabbed the skylight's hold "ALLEYOOP!" He yelled before jumping down himself, with Lenny in his arms and, slamming the skylight down as if nothing happened.
So, now what do you think is going to happen?
