Green Girl (PRS)

The Rescue

Emily and I poured some cat food into the food dish we left outside. An orange tabby cat came and began to eat from it. He was the neighborhood cat and the one that almost ate Antonio. "Now that Antonio's okay with the kitty, I figure we can have her around again." Emily said.

"I hope so." I bent down and pet the cat. "Let's try to not eat Antonio again, right?" The cat meowed in response as to agree. "That's right. Good kitty." I stood up and headed inside with Emily. We walked in and saw Kevin reading in the common room. I looked to my right and saw Mentor and Antonio working on the lightzord and Mia watching them. "Check it out. Something's going on over there." I whispered to Em.

We walked over to Mia who was just as confused. Antonio was mindlessly eating nuts while Mentor was showing him different symbols. "Wow. It's strange to see those two buddy-buddy." Mia said.

"Sure, but what's happening with the lightzord?" I watched as Antonio annoyingly spun his fishing spool in his fingers. The cranking noise was making me go insane. "I'm sorry. I have to know." I said pushing through Em and Mia. "Hey, guys. What's up?"

"Shh!" They both hissed. Mentor waved me away. I looked back at the girls and shook my head angrily.

"They just shushed me." I mouthed. I noticed the bowl of nuts was almost empty. I looked down at the cat food in my hand and got an idea. As soon as Antonio finished it I poured some cat food into the bowl and watched as he ate it mindlessly. Everyone except for Kevin and Mentor chuckled at my joke. Antonio still wasn't paying attention.

Mentor stopped Antonio from taking anymore and my smile immediately turned to worry. Mentor wasn't the biggest fan of pranks. "Antonio, I think we should go fishing now." Mentor said. I tried to quietly slip away.

"Great. Could sure use a break." Antonio said.

"Hey, Allison. Have some." I heard Ji say behind me. I turned to see him holding out the cat food bowl to me. He shook the bowl guilting me into it. If I didn't eat it it would look suspicious to Antonio. "Hmm? Come on."

I hesitantly reached in and took a couple of cat food pieces. I dropped it into my mouth and started to chew. Immediately the taste of tuna and more stuff I can't describe took over my mouth. I turned away and gagged at the disgusting taste in my mouth. Mia and Em laughed at me and I gave a look that would kill.

I walked outside after Antonio and Ji left. Jayden was practicing as usual. "Hey." I said.
He jumped a little out of fright before looking at me.

"Oh, hey, babe." I walked over and went to kiss him, but he backed off.

"What?"

"Did you have tuna or something for lunch? No offense."

"Oh, sorry. Mentor made me eat cat food." I said nonchalantly.

"Huh?"

"Long story. Shorter version is my prank on Antonio went wrong."

"Ah. You wanna practice?"

"You're on." I grabbed a practice sword and we started to spar. We easily dodged each other's attacks, but I had some new tricks up my sleeve. I surprised Jayden with my new attacks, but he still took me down. "Good match."

"I like your new moves. Soon you'll be better than me."

"Please. No one is better than you." I said and leaned in for a kiss.

"Woah. Down, kitty." I gave him a death stare before raising my sword again. As we were fighting I heard crackling from nearby. My hands suddenly felt really cold and I looked down to see frost forming from where my hands were placed. I immediately dropped the sword and the frost disappeared. "Ally? You okay? What was that?"
