As I said in the other chapters I do not own Gremlins they belong to their respectable owner Joe Dante. ^^
However, Angela is owned by me ^^
Hope you are enjoying the story so far ^^
Enjoy! :D
"Angela, about the mission, it isn't an assignment from me." Lenny said, whilst hanging his head down slightly
Confused, but curious, Angela tilted her head slightly, put her head back to normal position and stared hard at Lenny. "Well, who's it from then?" she asked
"You're not going to like it if I tell you." Lenny said slowly
"Lenny, JUST TELL ME! WHO IS IT FROM?" Angela whined impatiently
"Fine! It's from a Gremlin and..." Lenny started
He then looked up to see Angela shaking and turning pale slightly, her cream fur was standing up on end and her eyes were twinkling with fear. Angela felt her heart beat really; really loud...it hadn't beaten that fast and loud since... what happened before, memories started running back to her mind again, she then started breathing really heavily. Lenny spotted this and only hugged her tight.
"Angela, forget about what happened before, it's over now." Lenny said softly, as he rubbed her head and pushed it deeper to his chest
"I know, but it still haunts me now and, I'm not doing it if there's any Gremlins involved." Angela cried, as she buried her head in Lenny's soft fur
"Well, there not involved in the mission, they're the ones asking you to do it." Lenny said, trying to karm her down
"OH GOD, THAT'S EVEN WORSE!" Angela screamed
She then clinged to Lenny, grabbing his fur really hard, shaking like a leaf, the torture that she went through in the past was too much for her but then, Lenny went through it with her as well and he had gotten over it easy but, she had a lot more heartbreak and torture than he did.
"Angela, I swear this Gremlin won't hurt you." Lenny lied "Until she disobeys or something." He thought
"You sure?" Angela questioned, whilst looking into Lenny's big, maroon eyes
"Of course I'm sure! I wouldn't lie to you now, would I Angie?" Lenny said sweetly "And, don't worry about the others, I'll protect you, with me by your side, you won't ever get hurt." Lenny said bravely
"Wait. There's more than one?" Angela cried quickly
"Well, yeah but, just give it a chance Angie. PLEASE!" Lenny begged
Angela then let go of Lenny and thought about what she should do.
"Why does Lenny want me to do that mission so badly?" Angela thought, as she looked down at the floor "I mean, it ain't like Lenny wanting to be VIM of something is it? But, he's my friend, he won't sell me off will he?" she thought, whilst keeping her head down
Angela then lifted her head up, she had made a decision.
"I'll give it a go! Even if there is Gremlins involved." Angela said happily
She then smiled devilishly at Lenny before walking closer to him until she was right by his face. They both stared into the other's eyes with happiness brimming on both their faces, it was such a warm moment, and all was silent.
"You're a brave girl Angela." Lenny whispered, as he looked in to her warm, milk chocolate eyes
"Well, as long as I have you by my side, I'll pull through nicely." Angela replied, not taking her eyes off him for a second.
Lenny only smiled and blushed but, the blush was really tiny and faint, so Angela couldn't see it. Lenny then extended his hand to her "Shall we?" he asked sweetly
Angela only smiled, nodded and took Lenny's hand.
The two of them stared one last time at each other before crawling out the sack together. Then, by taking each other's hands they walked back the way Lenny came, hand in hand.
They walked out of the alley (the dead end one) and walked round into the New York streets, they past the Big Apple telephone box and walked on through the streets, all was silent; all that was heard was there footsteps padding on the pavement.
As they walked, Lenny then turned to look at Angela out of the corner of his eye for a second, before resuming back to his thoughts.
"Come-on Lenny! Say something to her you idiot!" his head cursed mentally
Lenny then once again turned his head slightly towards Angela but, before he knew it, he could feel his head twist back round the way he was originally looking. He once again blushed as he heard Angela giggle next to him.
"UH! Why do I feel so vulnerable? I mean she's just a friend to me. Right?"
Lenny gripped her hand tight.
"RIGHT?"
He gripped Angela's hand even tighter. He felt the urge that he needed to keep her safe no matter what; nothing was going to stop him from doing that tonight. He then ran fast as lighting, gripping Angela tight. NOTHING.
"Lenny, why are we going so fast?" Angela questioned worriedly
Lenny only kept going, with determination spread across his face. Angela only raised her eyebrows and frowned.
"Lenny, please stop!" Angela exclaimed
But Lenny kept going; he wasn't going to stop, not until they get back into that house.
"LENNY, IF YOU DON'T STOP, I'M GOING TO SCREAM SO LOUD!" Angela screamed
Upon hearing this, as they were about to turn the corner, Lenny skidded to a stop and let go of Angela's hand, he turned his back to her, regaining his thoughts. He clenched his fists into balls as he faced the Peltzer house across the road.
"Lenny...you're starting to scare me." Angela whimpered.
Lenny only sighed, his back still turned and he was facing still towards the house. "I'm sorry Angela; I don't know what's got into me." Lenny replied.
He turned to face her, Angela looked close to crying, he knew she was worried about him. "I'm not driving her away am I?" Lenny thought mentally
He couldn't have her walk away from him, she meant so much to him, she had been his only friend since the incident and, even though they were away from each other for 6 years, he still knew her, his only friend. Of course George was his friend, but that was different. When he first met her, she changed his life; and now, since seeing her, he felt so vulnerable round her, he didn't know why. What was this feeling that he was getting? Well, he was going to find out for himself.
"Lenny, are you ok?" Angela whispered
Lenny walked towards her, grabbed both of her hands and held them tight. He looked into her worried eyes and kept a straight face.
"I don't know Angie; it's just that I... well...," after saying this, he paused for a moment. "Angie...I think...I..."
Lenny was about to say the rest of his sentence when...
"BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!"
"What's that noise Lenny?" Angela questioned
Lenny only reached into his pocket and pulled out his talkie, it was calling; he sighed in annoyance.
"Dear God... its Stripe." Lenny replied groggily
"Who's that?" Angela asked
But Lenny didn't answer; he just pressed the answer button. "Hello." He said randomly
"LENNY, WHERE ARE YOU! YOU'VE BEEN OUT FOR NEARLY AN HOUR!" Stripe shrieked down the talkie
Lenny just cringed as the sound waves of Stripe's voice hurt his ear mentally.
"Stripe! Will you karm down! Were outside the house! Well, coming to it. But you just keep your scales on!" Lenny yelled in annoyance
"Well, sorry for being worried! But anyway, see you in a bit." Stripe replied
"Sorry Stripe, it's just that i'm really stressed and..." Lenny started, but Stripe interrupted
"Len...Len...Len...it's okay, I understand look, you'll be getting a break after you bring your friend here. Just relax, ok? And I'll see you later." Stripe replied and cut off
Lenny then pressed the cut off button himself before heading towards the road to cross with Angela following close behind.
"Was that the Gremlin who asked for me?" Angela questioned as they walked across the road
"Yep." Lenny replied
They both came to the front of the house with Lenny looking for a way in the loft, while Angela looked up at the house in amazement.
"Whoa. Nice house." Angela commented as she smiled up at the house
"Yeah? Well, you won't believe what evil's inside it." Lenny replied, whilst turning to smirk at her
He then turned back to the house. "Now... how to get in..." Lenny asked himself, whilst folding his arms
"What is it Lenny?" Angela asked, whilst walking over to him
Lenny turned to her and pointed up at the open skylight on the roof. "See that skylight Angie? That's where we gotta get in." Lenny replied, whilst looking at the skylight himself
Angela nodded. She looked round for a way to get in; her eyes glanced at the trees that the Gremlins last climbed. Her eyes trailed upwards, to the top of the tree, she then looked at the phone line that casted next to it. She turned to Lenny and smiled at him.
"Lenny, I think I have an idea." Angela said
"Really? What is it?" Lenny asked, curious
10 mins later...
"You mean that we have to balance across the telephone wire?" Lenny questioned, speechless
"Yep, we do, now excuse me while I get my position right." Angela said
She then walked forward, brushing the leaves off her fur and walked to the edge of the tree, getting ready to balance.
"ANGELA! WAIT!" Lenny yelled, whilst running at her full speed
Angela turned her head back to him and before she could blink, he was right next to her, blocking her from crossing.
"ITS TOO DANGEROUS! I'M NOT LETTING YOU ACROSS!" Lenny yelled, whilst folding his arms at her
Surprised, Angela widened her eyes, she had never seen Lenny this protective before. "What's gotten into him? He knows that I can look after myself. Why's he being so protective?" Angela thought to herself
"Lenny, I can look after myself! Now let me across!" Angela yelled
Angela walked forward and pushed Lenny out of her way. She then put one foot on the telephone wire and started to walk across it. When she was halfway across Lenny joined her by putting his foot on the telephone line and doing the same but, he was more focused on Angela than his footing. He wouldn't let her out of his sight for a second.
A few more mins later...
Angela smiled as she jumped off the wire, using her long claws, she grabbed on to the tiles of the roof, making a tight grip on it. She then managed to turn her head round to Lenny who was nearly across, but was struggling frantically.
"COME-ON LENNY YOU CAN DO IT! WOOOOOOO!" Angela cheered
Lenny, who was still on the wire however, was shivering like an ice berg had freezed him and was on all four's; crawling slowly over to Angela, his hands gripping the wire tight. He scooted a few more cm before getting off the wire and gripping the roof like Angela, he panted as he held on to the roof, trying not to look down.
"Lenny, that was spectacular!" Angela cheered, as she started to climb the roof.
Lenny only looked at her confused, as he started climbing up the roof like she did.
"What was spectacular?" He asked, confused
"The way you got across that wire Lenny. It was so heroic, just like you, your such a hero." Angela replied, whilst climbing
Lenny then stopped climbing for a second and blushed bright red. "T-t-t-t-t-t-th-th-th-thanks." Lenny said softly, whilst stuttering
Angela just looked down at him and smiled, before pulling herself to the top and over. Lenny then resumed his climbing and did the same when he got to the top.
"Y'know, you weren't so bad yourself." Lenny complemented, whilst looking into Angela's eyes. "It wasn't me that was the hero, it was you because you teached me everything. Thanks."
It was Angela's turn to blush, which she did, but it was only tiny. They both then walked up to the skylight, getting ready to jump in.
"You might wanna wrap your arms round me as we drop Angie, might be a bit scary for you." Lenny offered
Angela was about to protest but, for some reason, she felt herself wrapping her arms round Lenny's neck. Lenny then looked down at her bow that was clipped on one side of her fur and fiddled with the velvet with one of his hands, whilst wrapping the other one round Angela's waist. He rested his head on her hers, whilst fiddling with her red bow.
"Oh and by the way, your bow is so cute, it suits you Angie." Lenny whispered, as he fiddled with the bow.
Angela only blushed again but this time it was BIGGER and REDDER, Angela was that speechless, she couldn't say anything. Instead, she just snuggled her head deeper into his soft grey-brown fur.
Lenny then stopped fiddling with her bow, came face to face with the drop down and gulped. Angela then knew what Lenny was going to say next so, she did it before he could say it which was, hold on tight.
Lenny then took a deep breath, while Angela closed her eyes, ready to jump with her friend and, within 3 seconds they jumped, grabbing on to each other like 2 dogs when they have a tug of war. And, before they knew it, it was over as they landed on the blow up rubber landing that Stripe set for them just like 2 tennis balls. Lenny then looked round to see Angela walking over to him, he was surprised that she could stand up on that thing, Why couldn't he? He felt that dizzy and drained that he couldn't even move. However, he then pushed himself up in a sitting position, making himself able to sit up. Angela knelt beside him, checking him over.
"Lenny! Are you ok?" Angela gasped worriedly
"I'm fine Angie well, just about." Lenny replied
Angela smiled at him. "Come-on let's get you off this thing." Angela said, whilst helping Lenny up on to his 2 legs to the edge.
When they both got there they both jumped off the rubber and walked straight ahead of them. Lenny then beckoned Angela close to him, as they walked down that straight lane ahead of them.
"Stay close to me." Lenny whispered to her as they walked.
Angela nodded, whilst gripping Lenny's hand.
Meanwhile, Mohawk was sitting in one of them sinks that you would see at a hair-dressers. And, due to water not being aloud Mohawk's white streak was being washed by dry shampoo and for some reason spider silk (Mohawk insisted on it) anyway, the Gremlin that was washing Mohawk's streak spotted Lenny and Angela walking past and patted Mohawk on his shoulder.
"Hey Mohawk, the dweeb is here." the Gremlin whispered in Mohawk's ear
Mohawk then leapt up from the washing basin. "REALLY? WHERE!" Mohawk yelled, his head turning in all directions in search for Lenny
The Gremlin only pointed at Lenny in response, Mohawk soon spotted him and grinned evilly.
"One second sir." Mohawk said to his hair-washer and, not caring if he still had spider silk in his hair jumped off the chair and ran after Lenny.
"Lenny, are we there yet? I'm scared." Angela whimpered, as she clung to his arm tighter than super glue.
"Don't worry Angie we'll be there soon its just-"
"Heya Dweeb." sneered a voice
Lenny gritted his teeth, he knew that voice very well, he forced himself round to see Mohawk grinning sadistically at him and folding his arms like a spoiled gang leader.
"Nice to see you again Buck face. Heh heh heh." Mohawk sneered before going into a laughing fit
"Lenny, who is that?" Angela questioned
"Yeah Lenny, who am I? Come-on, tell your girlfriend!" Mohawk taunted, before laughing again
Lenny only gritted his teeth and growled. Mohawk then peered round at Angela to get a good luck at her and when he finished, he whistled seductively.
"Hey, you! What's ya name?" Mohawk yelled
Angela froze. "Me?" she asked
"Yeah you, what's ya name?" Mohawk repeated, whilst coming closer
"Angela." Angela replied
"Angela..." Mohawk cooed, whilst coming closer to her
Lenny, who then spotted this went round to guard her, his arm blocking Mohawk from getting to her, he wasn't going to let Mohawk get to her nope! No way! Lenny's eyes kept going from Mohawk to Angela every 10 seconds; he never took his eyes off one of them for a second.
"Hey Angela, wanna come with me and do some lovin?" Mohawk said in a seductive tone
"Well...I...uh..." Angela started, whilst shivering
"Mohawk! YOU LEAVE HER ALONE! I'M NOT LETTING YOU TOUCH HER!" Lenny shrieked
"Oh yeah! And if I don't?" Mohawk taunted
Lenny just growled, his free hand balled into a fist, he was going to kill Mohawk if he had to. He wasn't taking Angela away from him, nobody was. Mohawk, who knew what Lenny was up to smirked and laughed.
"You really think you can beat me?" Mohawk taunted, he clicked his fingers, 2 spiders came along, 1 on each shoulder.
At this point, all Gremlins in there stopped what they were originally doing and turned their attention to the 2 Mogwai's getting ready to fight, all eyes were on them. Angela then felt tears coming from her eyes, she couldn't take Lenny doing that just to protect her, she had to stop it before it got out of control. Then, just when the 2 males were going to charge at each other, she got past Lenny, jumped into the middle, yanked both Lenny and Mohawk away from each other, and turned to Lenny.
"Lenny, please don't fight just for me, please don't fight, there's no reason to start a fight here." Angela cried, whilst looking up at Lenny with pleading eyes
"Yeah Len, there's no reason to start a fight here."
Everyone then turned to the direction of the voice... it was Stripe, he had his arms folded and a devilish smirk was on his face.
"Alright everyone, show's over now, CLEAR OFF BEFORE I GET MY GUN OUT!" Stripe yelled to the whole troop of Gremlins
Within seconds all of the Gremlins cleared off to resume to their original activities. Mohawk however, was still there cackling wildly under his breath. Stripe then spotted him within seconds.
"YOU TOO MOHAWK! CLEAR OFF! Oh, and get that cheese string out your hair, it looks disgusting." Stripe yelled
"IT'S NOT A CHE-" Mohawk started but before he could say more, Stripe gave him a death glare. "NEVER MIND!" Mohawk shouted back, before stomping off.
Stripe then turned his attention to Lenny and Angela and knelt down to their level. He looked at Angela.
"Angela. Correct?" Stripe questioned, whilst staring at the female Mogwai
"Yes." she replied nervously
"Good, it's nice that we can finally meet face to face." Stripe said, whilst grinning evilly at Angela.
Angela then looked into the Gremlin's eyes for a few seconds and gulped. "I have a feeling that this isn't going to turn out for the best." Angela thought as she looked into Stripe's cold, red blooded eyes.
