Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 97

Estelle and Jenny were helping Felicity out a little with her ballet since she was a little rusty, but not bad for a beginner.

"Estelle, where do you think you'll go next time?" Jenny asked, referring to her magic ballet slippers.

"I'd really like to go to Swan Lake..." Estelle said as she did a plie. "Of course, I'd like to meet Rapunzel too."

"I once heard a Rapunzel story where she has a dragon friend named Penelope." Felicity spoke up.

"Hmm, maybe I'll do that next and then Swan Lake." Estelle said as she did another plie.

Felicity did her best to copy Estelle's moves, her being the more graceful of the three girls. Jenny blinked in confusion, she turned her head and scratched it as she saw no one with them.

"You okay, Jenny?" Estelle asked.

"Yeah, I just thought I heard Georgette and Oliver..." Jenny replied, confused.

"We better go look to make sure." Estelle said.

Jenny nodded, going out with them. Felicity put her boots back on and followed as her boots squashed across the floor like they always did. They went over to where Jenny thought she saw Oliver and Georgette.

The kitten and poodle were nowhere to be found however and a door shut just then.

"I must be hearing things..." Jenny assumed, unaware of how right she really was that her pets were in Acmetropolis.

"Yeah, besides even if they were here, Georgette probably freak out by now." Estelle shrugged.

"She has to go to the doggy groomer every day, Antoine makes those rules very crucial." Jenny nodded in agreement.

"So then Georgette would be howling of out fear about missing her appointment then." Estelle said.

Jenny rubbed her head again and wondered if her pets really were there, she knocked on the door.

"Um, hello?" Vincent called, a little nervously.

"Vincent, it's me, could I come in?" Jenny asked.

"Oh, um, yes, just, uh, give me a minute." Vincent said, nervously.

Jenny looked concerned, but she waited as instructed.

Vincent then opened the door after a few moments. "Hi, Jenny."

"Hi, Vincent," Jenny waved back. "I know this sounds unusual, but I could've sworn I heard Georgette and Oliver, but they're back at home with Winston..."

"Yep, that's where they are." Vincent smiled nervously.

Jenny glanced at him suspiciously and tried to look over his shoulder, but saw the room was empty. "Is something wrong...?"

"Wrong?" Vincent asked. "What could possibly be wrong?"

"Ow! Georgette, get your paw off my tail." Oliver's voice whispered.

"You get your tail off my paw!" Georgette retorted.

"What was that?" Jenny asked.

"Uh, nothing..." Vincent tried to block her way in.

Jenny kept trying to look, she then folded her arms and looked a little firm. "I never mistake Georgette and Oliver's cries..."

Vincent sighed and gave in. "All right, just don't tell anyone..." he then pushed a button and the closet opened up to reveal the girl's pet poodle and kitten.

The two then looked at their owner sheepishly and started to wave at her.

Jenny rushed over to them and hugged them. "How'd you guys get here?"

Oliver saw Jenny had her bracelet on and nudged against it.

"What?" Jenny looked to her bracelet, she could not talk to animals like the Fudo cousins could, but she seemed to read his body language. "You touched my bracelet?"

Oliver looked sad and felt guilty, thinking she was probably mad at him.

"Oh, Oliver..." Jenny hugged him to assure him she wasn't mad. "That was a little dangerous... I know you're a kitten and you get curious, but you should really not play with things that aren't yours." she told him, acting like his mother right now.

Oliver hung his head, knowing that Jenny was right, especially the situation he was in.

"I'm sorry..." Jenny hugged her pets. "The only way I know how to get you home is if we beat another mission from Zadavia."

Georgette groaned a little bit, feeling miserable of being trapped in Acmetropolis and really wanted to go home now.

"Don't worry, the Loonatics never lose." Jenny reassured her poodle with a smile.

"It's true they've never failed on a mission, not once." Vincent said.

"I hope this next mission is soon then..." Oliver quietly said, still insecure himself.

Jenny saw Oliver was sad, so she hugged him, softly singing to him like she did with him on the piano back home.

"I wonder how Rev is doing." Felicity wondered.

"I'm sure he's okay..." Estelle shrugged, but had a smile.

"Hmm..." Felicity wasn't too sure.

Simon was crawling around and looking for Rip, turning his head at all angles.

"Hey, little dude, what's up?" Rip asked.

Simon held up his arms.

"Um... Okay..." Rip was nervous about holding a baby and bent down to pick him up.

Simon then took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on and gave a small smile and a thumb's up so Rip would think he was cool.

"Ohh, you wanna be as cool as me, huh?" Rip asked with a smile.

Simon nodded, he really looked up to Rip due to him seeming like the bad boy type.

"Well thanks, Simon, that's the first anyone has ever looked up to me." Rip sighed.

Simon even gave Rip a hug. Rip smiled and walked off with the baby.
