Props to all you guys writing friendly fanfiction about Skid and Pump!
Remind me to kill you guys later for getting me addicted to these two boys also-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were awake, but all you could see was darkness. And it felt weird, like you were in your own mind, but not in your own body. You wondered if you could open your eyes...

Opening your tired eyes, you scanned the area, trying to figure out where you were. Cold, wet leaves. Dead tress. Hundreds and hundreds of tombstones lined up in order. Yep, you were in a graveyard. Now wide awake, you started to shiver, a cold wind blowing past the sinister cemetery. Something told you you needed to get out of here quick. But when you went to run, you tripped over your- four legs!? Or paws, as you looked down at your fur, almost as dark as the now clearing sky, as if it had never stormed at all. Slowly, you regained your balance on all four of your cat legs, but had to take baby steps, like a newborn learning how to walk. With your cat ears, it felt as if you could hear every sound around you, the quiet chatter of people just outside the gates, the gentle whirling and whooshing of the wind, the soft crunching of leaves beneath your tiny and agile feet..

After going at a slow pace, you figured that you could try running. You kicked your legs into high gear, dashing past tombstone after tombstone, the breeze tickling your warm fur. But just as you were at the gate, you felt something heavy on your back. Looking behind you, you noticed two dragon wings. The size of your add-ons scaring you, you jumped up, landing on the brick wall surrounding the cemetery. But cats don't have dragon wings! How were you any different? You laid down on the wall, trying to recollect how you may have gotten like this. You could remember much, but foggy flashes of you meeting a man with light yellow skin, you drinking a potion, and the same man carrying you out of a castle replayed in your head, trying to make something in your tiny mind click. And then- it all came back to you! The lemon man, the dragon potion, him saving you after the men tried to capture you! You looked back down at your paws. This must be one of the things he talked about- what was that word again? Side effects?

Looking back at your restless wings, perhaps you could try and fly with them- "Hey Skid, what's that?" You jumped a bit, then looked around for what could've said that- let alone even wanted to come into a spooky graveyard at night. Standing in the middle of the gate entrance, were two kids with candy bars. One was wearing a pumpkin costume, while the other looked like a skeleton. And after noticing their presence, you realized that the pumpkin kid was pointing at you, causing both of them to stop and stare at the cat with feathered wings and little horns. "Is that cat in a spooky costume?" The pumpkin kid asked. The skeleton kid walked over to the part of the wall you were sitting at, observing you a bit closer, making you back away a bit. "I think so. It looks like a dragon costume!" "Wow! Even the animals are excited for the spooky month!" Spooky month? Were they talking about Halloween? "Exactly! But cats don't dress up themselves. If this cat has a costume on, then it must mean that it belongs to somebody, and then that somebody won't get to celebrate spooky month with their cat!" 

Slowly realizing that they thought you were an actual cat, you jumped off the wall, trying to make an escape before the two boys confirmed their plan. However, just as you passed through the entrance, you felt a gloved hand grab your tail, probably Pump. And even though it was a gentle touch, everyone knows grabbing a cat by the tail, wild, stray or house cat, was never a good idea. You let out an ear-piercing yowl, which apparently caused the hand to let go of you. You tripped over you own feet, closing your eyes tightly as you waited to hit the hard pavement. But, you didn't. Opening your eyes gradually, you realized that two hands were holding you up- looking a lot like your regular human hands. Sitting back up, you realized you also had your toes and shoes back. And you dragon costume on! You were a person again!

However, after your small victory, you notice that the two boys are staring at you, mouths wide open. "You- you-" The skeleton kid stuttered. You nodded, then smiled. "You were a cat, but then you-" The pumpkin kid said. You nodded again, starting to smile. "YOU CAN TURN INTO A CAT!? " Both of them said at the same time. You nodded, giggling a little. Looking a bit closer, you could see that the kid with the pumpkin costume's eyes were emitting an eerie glow. You stared into his turquoise eyes, then pointed at them. "Oh? Oh yeah! My eyes glow whenever we encounter something paranormal or magical- like you!" Your small smile had now converted into a goofy grin. Every time someone brought up how cool you looked, you couldn't help but to smile! "So, if you're not a cat, then.." The skeleton kid started. "where are you parents?" Your mouth creased into a frown, seeing as the two boys didn't have any parental figure with them either. But then, you heard someone calling out for their children. "SKID!! PUMP!! WHERE ARE YOU?" "Oh! That's my mom! C'mon, maybe she can help you find your mom or dad." 

Before you could even say anything, you were tugged by both your hands by Skid and Pump, leading you to a well-dressed woman with purple hair, not wearing a Halloween costume of any sort. The minute she saw Skid and Pump, she kneeled down, pulling them both into a hug. "Oh thank goodness I found you both!" she exclaimed, then lifted her head to you, standing on the sidewalk in front of them, looking around in awe at all the bright lights and decorations. "Who's this?" The woman asked. "This is our new friend we made! We found her in a graveyard, and she was a cat, but then she turned into a person, and she had really cool wings and, and-" Skid said, his mouth running a mile a minute. And although to managed to hide it, you were slightly jealous of how fast and well Skid was able to talk, seeing as you had trouble raising your voice above a whisper. You also had another feeling, but it wasn't jealousy. It felt..weird. Maybe these people were too friendly. All the people on this block wore smiles on their faces, munching on sweets and running around with their friends, pretending to be the characters they were dressed in, almost like Skid and Pump. 

Maybe you just weren't used to everyone being this upbeat around you. You did live in a dark mansion full of seemingly emotionless servants and a mom and dad who where barely around after all. Who could blame you? Snapping yourself back to reality, you realized Skid was now standing close to you, as well as Pump on your right. "Oh, that's nice. But shouldn't your friend be getting back to her parents?" The woman asked. "Oh, don't worry! She doesn't have any!" Pump blurted out. The woman's expression turned into something of confusion, with a little bit of worry. She walked over to you, bending down to your height. "Do you have any parents, sweetie?" She asked you in a sweet voice. You were about to shake your head, but you remembered the lemon man. You nodded, but put up one finger. The woman smiled in relief. "Well then, how about we find your mom or dad?" She held out her hand to you, which you gladly took. You doubted the lemon mad would be around here anywhere, but there was always a chance. On the other side of you, were Skid and Pump. 

Skid held up a piece of chocolate to you, probably from his candy bar. You grabbed it with your free hand, then popped it into your mouth. "So graveyard girl, what's your name?" Pump asked, holding Skid's wrist. You looked over at both of their eager faces, then whisper-said something that only the three of you could hear because of your low voice.

"I'm Y/N.."
