silly core ship-fic

Prologue

It was night- again- like it
is every night and Owlette, Catboy and I were investigating the disappearance of all the pumpkins and other Halloween festivities in our class. Catboy suspected it was Night Ninja and we all agreed- I mean no one else does such petty crimes, petty nonetheless important though I guess.

"'Cat Ears!' What's that sound? It sounds like-" I turned to Catboy as he paused before I heard it aswell.

"It sounds like Carnival music" Catboy stopped the Cat-Car as we walked up to this huge carnival with lights- music and complete with our stolen pumpkins- now carved to look like ninjalinos.

"How are my not so favorite superhero's doing!" Night Ninja said passive aggressively to the three of us as we approached the entrance.

"What's the gig Night Ninja?" Owlette questioned him

"Gig? It's a carnival bird brain, for all of my ninjalinos, it's that or I start paying them my allowances... so uhh yeah." Night Ninja then pulled out a jack-o-lantern full of coins and handed it to me.

"If you're not gonna trash the place then play some games, I'm feeling... less evil tonight... but only a little bit less!" He shouted before disappearing from the booth with a flash.

"This is obviously a trap" Owlette rolled her eyes at Catboy who already looked ready to play some games.

"He already broke the pumpkins- we have nothing to loose! Besides I bet I could get more tickets then you!" Catboy said snatching the lantern out my hands and running in the entrance followed by Owlette.

I let out a sigh, I mean they didn't even ask my input. I always feel left out when this kinda stuff happens.

"Heh- i wish this was a trap your friends are almost as as you" I turned my head to see Night Ninja standing behind me, I jumped with shock but not really fear.

"Oh, so it's really not a trap?" I ask

"Nah, I honestly just wanted to do something for the ninjalinos you know, I mean- you know what go have fun- I don't know why I'm talking to you" Night Ninja stammered before walking off. He's been weird like that lately- like mood swings, it's like when my cousin's on her period- that's besides the point.

I know it's weird but it's actually making me worry about Night Ninja, what if he's moodswinging- or whatever because he has a master plan or something!?

"Gekko are you coming?" Owlette peeks out to invite me in the carnival and I follow letting my mind at ease cause I can focus on something else.

The carnival is actually kind of fun... for Owlette and Catboy, I was to busy being paranoid, I mean Romeo, Luna and of course the Ninjalinos were all just playing around- not realizing we could just bust into a fight at any moment!

"If you're gonna keeping hanging out that's fine but I'm gonna go home" I try to tell Catboy but he ignores me- he's to busy shooting hoops with Romeo to listen, I mean I don't really worry, they'll call if somethings up so I just head home.

I don't mind walking, I like being athletic and I do get my steps in. The only thing I don't like is thinking. I think a lot, so I overthink a lot, but my thoughts are cut short by the shattering of glass.

It was loud.

Loud enough that I should see Catboy speeding over here but I don't.

Seems like it's just Gekko.

I jolt to the direction of the glass sound, and it's a broken window into a convince store, bingo.

"Hello? Anyone there?" I shout into the store.

I walk around for a while but it's way to dark to see- to make it worse I bump into someone- Crap!!

"Hey watch it!?" The kid scooted away from me, he wasn't a nighttime villain, just a delinquent I assume.

I know we're not supposed to get caught but it's too dark to see so I'm not worried- again, not to mention he's breaking and entering, who would he tell?

"Hey what are you doing in this store after hours?"

"This store is my moms, who are you?"

"Uhh that's not important, are you aware that your glass window is broken?"

"W-what no? What did you do-"

Just then we heard a thud from the back of the store.

"Huh, I guess someone broke in... oh well." The kid walks to a nearby wall and shines the light switch on.

So much for secrecy.

"Nice costume, now get out before I call the cops, I gotta go find out who broke in *again*" The kid walks past me to a corner of the store.

I kinda wonder what I should do, I mean I can't let this kid just fight a burglar... but what if it's a nighttime villain? No all of them are at Night Ninja's carnival... except Night Ninja.

So much for going home-

I rushed to the corner of the store but it's just the kid absolutely pummeling this grown man.

So uhh not Night Ninja, just a burglar.

"Freaking crackheads, this is becoming the ghetto" the kid gets up and faces me,

"Didn't I tell you to get out Lizard Legs? Or maybe you didn't hear me?" he steps forward towards me and grins for a moment.

"I'm Markus, nice to meet you"

"Uhh nice to meet you too I guess? How about I take this body down to the station and we forget this ever happened."

"Perfect" he reached out his hand, i shook it

I used my Super Gecko Muscles and carried the guy out the store, this had to be one of the weirdest interactions I had... ever- and I'm friends with Catboy so this is up there.

I thought about telling Catboy and Owlette but they would probably be more worried about being caught them anything so I just went home.

A,,N:
I rewrote some of this chapter because in the original i was MAD projecting- like so bad it was out of character,,, anyways.
