Hey guys. I think I`m coming down with something, so I`ll be taking care of myself.

Let me shove this in your face.


Normal POV

"Maybe if Shawn wasn't such a terrible driver-!" Saturn sneered from the back seat as the group arrived later than planned to the skating rink. The coyote gave a huff as he parked his car next to an olive green jeep.

"Oh sure blame the driver..." Stella gave a laugh of her own as she got out, Nicole could barely contain her excitement once she scrambled out, Tyler and Saturn in tow.

"I've never been skating before!" Nicole cheered in excitement as she excitedly jumped around Stella as the group of five made their way to the seemingly packed skating rink.

"Hey, who's that?" Shawn asked as he eyed a purple wolf, she was bitterly growling at a cougar and orange wolf as they held their heads down.

"That's Midnight, Midday, and Jack, haven't you heard? They're a band called Criminal Party, I was thinking of asking them to play besides from Stella here" Tyler explained as he walked next to the hybrid and her hyperactive friend.

"If I gotta sing you guys are doing it with me" She snapped back at him, Nicole was the one to squeal out, hugging her best friend tightly.

"I've been waiting for you to ask me! YES!" She cheered out. Stella gave a soft laugh, tightly hugging her back.

"Hey!" The fox cried out, going up to the group of three, almost immediately was he met with a laser cannon mere inches to his muzzle by the orange wolf named Midday who wore a white v-neck with grey pants and irregular black shoes.

"Stand down Midday, it`s just the wild man of the school! What can we do for you" The cougar with a turquoise mohawk asked with a grin. He work red pants, a black shirt along with classic grey vans.

"I wanted to know if you guys wanted to perform at the party, I'm willing to pay if I have to" Midday returned the laser cannon into his hand and looked to Midnight as Jack did the same. The female's blue eyes bore no emotion as she stayed silent. Her eyes flickering towards Stella.

"We'll perform, no need for the money" She said sternly, going to walk inside, Midday close behind her as Jack gaped at her before tagging along.

"Is she hot or what?" Shawn asked whistling after the trio walked inside.

"Is that all you can think about?" Saturn hissed and hit the back of his head while she, Stella, and Nicole walked inside. Leaving the two boys alone for awhile.


"Woah! I got it! I got it!" Nicole giggled as she shakily and clumsily skated close to the wall. She kept her mischievous pink eyes on her rental skates as she kept close to the wall. Stella and Saturn however seemed to skate laps around her as well as the other mobians on the skating floor.

"Woah there! You okay?" The wolf had attempted to copy their speed but clumsily fell with a wide smile. A tan hand shot out to help her up and once she looked up her smile faded as she silently gaped at the male lion helping her to her feet.

"O-Oh! Yeah I'm fine, I just...can't skate" She gave a nervous smile, staring into green eyes. The lion gave a smile, his mane was black dyed chocolate brown as a piercing was on his left ear. Nicole couldn't help the blush form as he pulled her along the crowd.

"That's unfortunate, how about I teach you? I don't mind helping a pretty lady" He gave a warm chuckle, slowly skating for her skate as she got her footing together.

"Thank you! See I came here with my friends and I never skated before and-" She stopped as he was staring intently at her, he gave a perplexed frown, tilting his head.

"Why'd you stop? My name's Allen by the way" He gave her a shy grin, catching her as she lost her footing once more.

"Nicole" She gave a soft smile, taking her eyes off of the dashing male besides her and focusing as she followed his soft instructions, the two skated in a comfortable conversation.

"See! Love is in the air" Stella whispered playfully to Saturn as the two watched Nicole chatting with the star quarterback on Emerald High School's football team.

"Who is that guy anyway?" The bat asked, her hands on her hips as she watched the two. Allen helping her regain her balance as she stumbled while they talked and laughed.

"I dunno actually, goes to our school. I helped him once with Trigonometry" Stella gave a shrug, going to skate off but bumped into someone.

"Oof!"

"Careful" Stella perked her ears as she gave a smile.

"Sorry about that, I wasn't looking" The silent purple wolf only blinked, her grey cardigan hugging her figure, she wore a light blue turtleneck, a black skirt with black leggings.

"My fault" She held out her hand, attempting to mimic Stella's soft smile.

"Midnight" The hybrid jumped and shook her hand, her smile widening.

"Oh! I'm Stella! I heard what Tyler said but couldn't catch your answer...will you be playing at the party?" Midnight brought her hand back and nodded.

"We will...Will you?" She asked, curiosity of her own showing.

"I might...I've never sang in front of a massive audience before" Stella rubbed her arm. Midnight blinked once again before gently taking Stella's wrist as she lead her to the DJ booth.

"Where are we-?"

"Practice" Was Midnight's only answer.


"It was so nice of you to want a little girl's night!" A Pink poodle cheered as she walked next to a brown and white collie. In front of the two was the stubborn red cat.

"Anything for my girls! Plus this would be nice to get away from all the talk of the-"

Love is a magical thing to overcome…

The cat whipped her head towards the booth of the hauntingly familiar voice as she sneered at the unsuspecting Mobian.

"Hybrid..." She seethed.

Love, can make you feel like a rubber band…

Once it`s there you won't be able to forget it..

That's why, love can be a very dangerous thing

Nicole blushed as she folded her ears down and glared to the hybrid that was singing nervously but all the while enjoying setting the mood for her best friend.

"She's got a nice voice" Allen complimented, subconsciously squeezing her hand getting the wolf to jump in surprise as he did.

"Y-Yeah...Stella sure is something..."

Maybe… Fate will scream at you

And give you someone to love

To allow you to feel all warm inside

But only if both of you are willing it can

Grow strong…

"Ashley, could you just leave her alone? She hasn't been starting anything with you! It's always you and it's getting on my nerves" The collie growled as she stopped Ashley from stomping up to the hybrid.

"What? She calls me Barbie every damn day!" She hissed. Both collie and poodle sighed in exasperation.

"That's nothing compared to the degrading names you've called her?" The poodle spoke up, putting her hands into the pockets of her jean jacket.

"Jenny? April? What are you guys trying to say?" Ashley asked, the words vanishing from her as her friends were siding with the hybrid.

Never give up hope little one

Your soul mate will show their face

And when they do you mustn't let go

Cause love, is a very rare case

"So uh...Y-You go to Emerald? I play football there" Allen said, flicking his tail as he watched Nicole play with her hair.

"Y-Yeah! I mean...Not yet...I uh...I will be um...starting tomorrow" Nicole blushed. Where did her playfulness go?! Why was she so shy around him unlike anyone else?!

Who knows, maybe love is staring you in the face

One day you might understand it's ways

But until then… hold on tight to the feeling

Cause love is a very magical thing…

"Grow up Ashley...Stop with the childish name calling and leave her alone, let her live her life while you get your own" The collie, April said, frowning at her lifetime best friend in shame. Jenny bit her lip as she waited her Ashley to respond but the cat remained silent.

Why were they saying the same thing she had told her earlier? It wasn't like she was the only one dragging this out? Ashley bit back a reply as she angrily glared at the hybrid getting applause for her small performance. New anger for the girl settling in.

"Ashley! Did you not-" Jenny stopped as Ashley stomped her way through the crowd. April stopped her as they silently followed her.

"Was that bad?" Stella asked her new found friend, Midnight shook her head, giving her a thumbs up.

"You did good, You'll perform fine at the party" Just hearing that from the wolf made Stella gleam happily as her ears perked up to nearby commotion.

"What the-" She started but instincts came in as she narrowly dodged a punch thrown her way.

"Y-You little-!" Ashley screeched but was cut short as Stella threw a punch of her own.

"Barbie? The hell? Are you trying to end up in a hospital?" The hybrid asked looking at the recovering cat as she held her cheek. A crowd forming slowly.

"You made everyone turn on me! Y-You freak!" Ashley yelled, regaining her posture.

"What are you talking about now?" The hybrid brought her hands to her hip while Midnight stood beside her, blue eyes glazed over, awaiting the cat's next move.

"Don't play stupid!" Ashley hissed going to slap Stella, and without the assistance from the cyborg wolf next to her, Stella caught her wrist.

"Don't touch me first off, after years of tormenting you really want to fight me over what? People finally noticing how much of a child you are? I told you Ashley, grow up" At the word Ashley gave another screech as she attempting to get another hit but with a sigh Stella flung her away.

"Jeez!" Jack gasped out as Ashley fell onto him, without a seconds glance to him Ashley went back at her in a one sided fight.

"Could you stop! Look at you! Someone get her out of here" Stella growled now angry at the female as she tried over and over to land a hit. Ashley had a growing welt on her cheek and a black eye forming while all Stella had was a bit of pulled hair. Before Ashley launched herself again she was pulled back by April.

"That's enough!" She barked out a her supposed friend. Ashley froze and yelped as the collie along with Jenny pulled her towards the exit. While the cat tried to free herself to try once more to get at least one hit on her.

"Feisty eh?" Jack wiggled his eyebrows at the hybrid once the crowd dispersed, some went up to Stella from a picture or to congratulate her.

"Yuck" Stella faked a gag and received a legendary laugh from Midnight. She gave a cute snort but fixed herself at the coo from Jack, her right hand transforming into a laser cannon similar to Midday's but instead of emitting green light, hers gave off a blue light.

"Sorry Night, I just nevah heard ya laugh before y`know?" Jack chuckled, putting his hands up for defense.

"I'll make sure to cut off your tongue if you do that again..."

"Roger that boss!"


Would you look at that? Our first look into Criminal Party! Both Midday and Midnight are cyborg wolves. They, along with Jack belongs to Midnightestrella!
