Hey everyone! *Awkward silence, crickets chirping* I know... I'm sorry. But I... have no excuse. I hope you guys can forgive me.

I can't include everyone, and I'm really sorry about that. Some of your guys' OCs were very detailed and impressive, but I just fell in love with the character this person made. I think it's because I can handle writing people with her type of personality. Although I still can't write humor. Trust me, I tried.

Anyway, I'm going to reply to the ones with a non-OC form review or had a side-note to their form.

KarateGirl77: Aw, thanks!

scurtui24: Glad to know! Swasome is the best adjective in the world.

Kim

After karate practice, Brody came up to me, a girl by her side. "Hey Kim!" he said really loudly. "Want to go to FroYo GoGo with my friend?" The way he slightly emphasized "friend" let me know exactly who I was going to meet.

"Sure! Let me tell Jemma and Macy where I'm going," I said cheerily, grabbing my bag.

"Don't take too long," Brody said flirtatiously.

"Yuck," The girl made a face, making Brody laugh.

"You wish you had this," I said, pointing to Brody's face. The girl laughed, but her smile didn't reach her eyes, which were more longing and wistful. So I was right.

I ran to Jemma, saying quickly, "Brody wants to hang out with me, so I'm going to FroYo GoGo with him and his friend. I'll see you at home," I left before Jemma could say a thing.

"I'm ready!" I ran right to Brody, wrapping my arms around his stomach from behind him.

"Hello cutie," Brody crooned, "ready to go?"

"Yeah," I nodded happily and took his hand as we walked out, the girl on his other side, awkwardly walking beside me.

Once we were inside the shop, the same girl was there, cleaning the counter. "Kim! You're back!" she cheered.

"Mackenzie, right?" I clarified. When she nodded, I continued, "The froyo was too good. So, we'll take two mediums and an extra extra large for the guy."

"Hey!" Brody protested, "I don't eat that much!"

"Fine," I rolled my eyes, "an extra extra small for the girl wannabe."

"I'll take a medium," Brody said finally.

Mackenzie laughed. "Of course," she said as she handed us three cups.

After we got our yogurts (Brody piled his toppings on top, the guy) we sat down at a table far away from the doors. "Brody, you'd better introduce me to this girl before I start calling her Brody's girl."

"Wha-What are you talking about?" Brody and the girl stammered, their faces bright red.

"You guys are too easy to tease," I laughed. "But seriously, what's your name?"

"My name's Katherine, but call me Kat," the girl answered. She was really pretty, with her ombre brown hair and pretty baby blue eyes. "Meow," she purred playfully, making a cat paw-like motion with her hand.

I chuckled a bit before asking, "What school do you go to?"

"Westwright Academy," Kat replied. "It's a school in Everton."

"Oh, so it's the town over," I said. "That's why I haven't met you or known about your school."

"Uh huh," Kat nodded. "I met Brody when I went to see the Pearl of Seaford Pageant."

"Oh, so for that long," I wiggled my eyebrows at Brody, making his chuckle a bit and shake his head at me.

"Do you take karate?" I asked finally.

"Yes."

"I approve," I nodded pompously.

Brody snorted. "I don't need your approval," he scoffed.

Kat looked confused. "Aren't you two dating?" She asked.

I shot my "boyfriend" a look, which he responded by looking elsewhere with a "I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about" expression on his face. "Do you not trust her?" I asked.

"I didn't think you would want to tell her," Brody shrugged.

"It's up to you," I said. "If you want to tell her, then tell her!"

Brody's face contorted while he thought. Finally, he grabbed his jacket and yogurt. "Let's go."

"Alright then," I laughed as Kat, Brody and I left the shop, talking about nonsense. I found out that Westwright Academy is a prestigious boarding school for the development of academic, athletic and artistic abilities. Meaning, every person was required to have at least a final grade of B for every subject, at least one sport per school year, and a choice of a four different arts: art, music, dance, or chorus. It was also an all girls school, surprisingly. I made a mental note to talk to Jemma and Macy about it. I also found out Brody was born in Italy and grew up in Florida before moving to Seaford.

It was when I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up that something was up.

"Kat?" I called, struggling to be calm.

"Yeah?" She turned to face me.

"Can you check and see if someone's behind us?" I asked casually.

Kat casted a glance over her shoulder. "Some karate kids, and a guy that looks like the devil," she commented, her voice lowered.

Brody and I looked at each other in complete fear. "Kat," Brody began, his voice urgent, "are the gis black and red?"

Kat now looked like she was going to faint. "Yeah," she confirmed.

"Kat..." I said quietly, "these guys are after us. On the count of three, we're going to run, okay? 1, 2-" I was yanked backwards, and I found myself looking up at Mr. Horn.

"Hello there sweetheart," He sneered.

All of a sudden, he was knocked backwards as Kat did a flying kick to his head, Brody boosting her. I got on my feet, grabbed Kat and Brody's hands, and raced down the street. "Who are those guys?" Kat yelled.

"Bad guys!" Brody yelled back, glancing over his shoulder. "They're catching up!"

I pushed myself harder, but something grabbed my ankle, jerking me away again. "RUN!" I screamed at Brody and Kat.

Before we knew it, the Black Dragons had us in their grasp, squirming and kicking. They calmly began dragging us away as we tried to scream, their hands over our mouths making it difficult. Oddly enough, there was no one on the street. Normally there'd be people, right?

Suddenly, a door opened, and five shadowy figures ran out into the street, chasing after us.

Hope you liked that cliffhanger! Who do you think those five figures are?

The story's begun to wrap up. I know, sad, but then I'll be able to finish the other stories and get started on "A Brave Prince and A Seething Princess" Sequel! Whose name I haven't decided on yet.

So, kitkatsmeow, congrats on your OC! I don't mind that she sounds a lot like Ally, but I do plan on having all three talents mentioned. However, is it okay if I slightly alter her writing abilities?
