So I feel I should apologize for a mistake I made in the previous chapter's closing note, there was never any villain from American comic books (As far as I know) with a light bulb for a head in the video I saw there were villains with crystal ball like orbs for heads, a villain with a clock for head and probably the weirdest a villain with a camera for a head I think what happened was I crossed these villains with Brightman one of the bosses from the Mega Man series of video games who has a light bulb growing out of his head

So after breakfast and getting dressed, Ichabod and Marzipan went out, Marzipan still felt incredibly awkward now being reduced to an eight-year old kitten…

But Ichabod instead took a deep breath of the sweet scent of flowers and stretched in the warm sunshine...Feeling the chloroplasts in his bloodstream get a good dose of sun.

"C'mon Marzipan!" Ichabod said as he started pulling Marzipan by her furry hand "We can do whatever we want today! Let's cease the day!"

"Ichabod!" Marzipan exclaimed as Ichabod was pulling her so fast, the smaller Cat-Girl was hopping on one foot to keep up "What's go into you!"

"I'm gonna do all the stuff I never got to do as a kid!" Ichabod said "Let's go to the playground!"

Marzipan couldn't help but wonder if Ichabod was mentally regressing into a childlike mindset, but no Ichabod's teenage mind was in complete control, and the teenager genuinely wanted to play at a playground because he never got to play at a playground when he was a child.

When they got to the nearest playground, Ichabod couldn't help but Marzipan still seemed shy and embarrassed about being in her Kitten form

"Ah Marzi…" Ichabod soothed as he ran his fingers through Marzipan's head-fur "Don't be so embarrassed! Look! The only people here are a bunch of Moms with their little kids, nobody we know is here, we'll just look like ordinary kids playing!"

Marzipan folded her arms because Ichabod seemed to be forgetting how distinct she was "How many other pink and purple cats live in this town?"

"Aw Marzi!" Ichabod pleaded "Could you just for a moment take your mind off yourself? Look, do you want to swing? I'll push you on the swing!"

Marzipan sighed realizing that Ichabod really did sincerely want to play like a little kid because his own childhood was so restrictive, the most fun he had as a kid was reading books, drawing pictures and having tea parties with the daughters of the Mad Hatter and Riddler!

So she let Ichabod push her on the swing….

As he pushed he began to sing The Tower Song...The very same song, She sang to him all those years ago when they were children on different planets but both discovered a strange silvery cave on their planet acted as a walkie-talkie to another planet, they couldn't see anything other than the other's eyes so they had to take each other's word that one was a Cat-Girl and the other was a Human, but one the miserable day Ichabod told Marzipan Ichabod he couldn't come to the cave in the woods anymore because his family had to move to a house farther away from the woods, Marzipan sang to him a traditional Mizzer song, some say composed by the Legendary Pig-Man Francis Bacon the Humanimal Hero of the Biollante Wars, but upon returning home...An accident involving a neighbor's house exploding knocking Ichabod off his feet and then after his parents scooped him up, he seemed to be a delirious bed ridden state upon arriving at the new house, when he finally got better months later it seemed to have mentally suppressed the entire previous year, so when questioned about the 'Cat-Girl Humanimal' he claimed to have been talking to, Ichabod believed it must have been some imaginary friend he had made up, but when Marzipan sang him the song again, then he remembered he actually had known Marzipan from before!

And listening to Ichabod sing as she swung Marzipan began to laugh and forget about being worried about being a Kitten again

Neither of them knew that Bill, who had quietly decided to check on how his best friend was doing since yesterday, finding them at the playground peeking over a hill, the Bull-Boy was relived that at least they were enjoying themselves, and now...It seemed with the biggest competition for the dance contest now uncertain if he could compete, it seemed that trophy would very likely be his for sure!

But as he sauntered away...Bill realized he didn't feel happy at all about that...After all what good was a contest if you didn't have the best competition? And deep down after seeing Ichabod dance in the forest, Bill had a sinking feeling that Ichabod and Marzipan really did deserve the trophy...And it wasn't fair if he took it because they were temporarily rendered unable to compete.

Meanwhile, on Third Earth, realizing they had to go after Stripes the Turtles canceled class for the day, secretly Lovelace was grateful, because now that she had the flowers now tightly closed because it of the daylight hours, she realized she couldn't wait for Scruffles' birthday to give them to her, she had no idea how to take care of them and feared they might die before the Pup's birthday arrived! So it would just be an early birthday present.

Meanwhile somewhere deep in New York City, Stripes groggily woke up, the Teenage Tiger Mutant slowly remembered what had happened, she went out before the sunrise to face the one who she knew her creators had sent to get her, someone who was also a creation of the same medical experiment organization located deep in the Canadian wilderness to keep from being discovered, only while she like her many sisters had been created by the lab to be part of experimental new nurses derived from animals to be calming like therapy animals...This man had been a more...Twisted experiment...A recent victim of an accidental decapitation, it was a rush to try to bring him back to life...They couldn't reattach the head to the body so instead they gave him a giant light bulb for a head! He was able to create such blinding flashes of light that they rendered humans and mutants unconscious and she realized that's what had happened to her, she had hoped to sneak up on him and take him out with her Tiger strength before he could do that but he had been expecting her...And she wasn't as good at moving silently as the Turtles…

"Finally! You're awake! Took you long enough!" Came the familiar voice on a PA system.

Stripes looked up and saw him the man who now called himself Luminous on a level far above her protected by a window, looking around she seemed to be in a strange room with metal pipes all around.

"I wanted you to be awake so I can explain your demise…" Said the light bulb headed man

"You really are like a Saturday morning cartoon villain…" Stripes sighed

"There you go with that sass again!" Luminous snapped "Why couldn't you be more like your sisters? All meek and obedient! That's why your creators sent me to get you after your stole their secrets!"

Feeling like she was going to regret it and she probably knew the answer already she wearily asked "So what you expect me to talk?"

And knowing it was to good to resist Luminous laughed "No I expect you to die! For you My Dear are in a drowning pit! But not an ordinary drowning pit...See I plan to drown you in raw sewage! As you were created to be a Nurse...To treat humans...I thought it fitting to kill you by drowning you in human waste…"

So yeah, Saturday morning cartoon villains are still dangerous, this one decided to be a level of gross most Batman villains would consider repulsive
