Chapter 14

Ok, the waiting is over! Chapter 14 is here! ^_^ Can you believe it? 14 chapters already? :D Horray! :3

Okay, this isn't one of my best pictures... :P This was really just lazily (rushed) drawn because I didn't really have much time to go into nice detail this week. D: However, I do like how I drew Phineas and Ferb though... They look alot better than how I typically draw them. :3 So without further ado, here is Chapter 14! :D

Chapter 14

 

“That’s it! It’s been about 15 minutes! I’m gonna go find Lefty right now!” Stripes screamed in his head as he stood up, catching Shila’s attention… “What do you think you’re doing Stripes?” Shila questioned, extending her eyebrow up in question… Stripes frowned at Shila, “I’m going to go find Lefty and Cat, it’s been over 15 minutes and you can think twice about telling me no.” Stripes frowned coldly… Shila stood up in aggravation, (Man, of all the people I had to be stuck with, it had to be a guy who is so stubborn headed!) Shila frowned as she looked at Stripes, her face daring him to bark her up the wrong tree…

A sudden rustle caught both Stripes’ and Shila’s attention… “Lefty?...” Stripes whispered, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes… The bush continued to rustle more suddenly now, causing Stripes to quickly run over towards the bush, looking for Lefty… “Come on Lefty! This is not funny if you have been just sitting there watching us invisibly or something!” Shila whined as she also looked at the rustling bush…

“Squeak!” A rabbit hastily bounced out of the bush in fright and dashed off in the distance, presumably far away by the time Stripes realized what had happened… Stripes’ tail drooped in defeat, as he walked back towards Shila… “Stripes… I’m sorry… I didn’t think that Lefty would be gone this long...” Shila frowned, taking a gulp of regret for not letting Stripes chase after Lefty…

“Now who says I’m gone?” A raspy voice chimed from the trees as two figures walked into the distance… Stripes’ tail perked back up as he looked at the approaching figures, “Lefty! Oh my goodness! I thought you were a goner by now!” Stripes screeched in joy as he ran up and hugged Lefty… “Ow! Hey take it easy! Don’t squeeze me so hard! It hurts!” Lefty grunted as she tried to push away Stripes while he squeezed her…

Stripes sheepishly backed up and looked at Lefty in joy, “Eh… Sorry… I’m just so relived you’re back… I mean…” Stripes stopped as he noticed that Lefty was rubbing her leg weird... Cat walked up to Lefty and poked her, catching Lefty’s attention as she pointed towards a tree, signaling for her to go sit down… Lefty silently nodded her head and half-limped towards the tree and sat down… Both Shila and Stripes stared in confusion as Lefty sat down, “Uh, did something happen?” Shila asked in confusion at Cat… Cat silently held up a finger and pointed at Princess, who was at the time still sleeping quietly…. Shila noticed this and the gang quietly walked by the sleeping Princess and took a seat next to the exhausted Lefty, while Cat dove into her bag and began to pull out several items…

“Me and Lefty got into a fight…” Cat grumbled as she sifted through the medical bag… “Wait what? Like did you guys bite each other or something?!” Stripes asked in astonishment… “No! We did not! Ugh… I didn’t phrase that right…” Cat grumbled as she pulled out a silk cloth and laid it down… “What I meant was… That we were attacked… By this… It’s kinda hard to descried but… It was like this shadowy bear, that was at least 6 or 7 feet tall, if not taller…” Cat frowned, as she pulled out a weird purple berry… Shila’s jaw dropped, “What?! And you guys like, survived with only minor damage?!” Shila asked in astonishment…

Cat nodded as she began to squeeze the purple berry onto the silk cloth… “Well, yes… But, we just barely did… You see, I had found Lefty and we like talked things out… But just as we were fixing to return, Lefty acted weird, and her eyes turned blue… She said something was near… But after a few minutes passed, Lefty felt satisfied that it was gone, and she suggested that we head back…” Cat mumbled through her mouth as she held onto the silk cloth with her mouth. She then began to unroll Lefty’s pants legs again… Cat made sure to be careful and not disturb her, as Lefty seemed to be resting peacefully unconscious due to the amount of energy that had been drained…

Stripes shifted his position and looked at Lefty before returning his gaze to Cat, “Go on Cat…” Stripes frowned, as he looked at the exhausted, drenched, Lefty… Cat nodded as she applied the silk cloth to Lefty’s leg, making Lefty shudder for a moment unconsciously in her sleep before remaining still once more, “Anyways, the bear suddenly pinned Lefty up to a tree… Lefty tried to reach for her sword, but the bear seemed to notice this and pinned her left arm down… That’s when I threw my small sword at the bear, and it yelped in pain and backed off… That gave Lefty enough time to reach her sword… I don’t quite know exactly what she was doing, but she charged at the bear with more courage than I’ve ever seen before… It was a close call, but Lefty got the bear’s ear, and it started smoking!” Cat exclaimed as she rubbed the cloth on Lefty’s leg, making the purple berry stain Lefty’s fur around the wound..

Shila’s eyes got huge as Cat continued, “So, they like kept attacking and dodging each other’s blows… Finally, the bear had enough and swung at Lefty’s legs… Lefty dodged, but just barely as the bear had managed to scratch one of her legs… Regardless, Lefty still stood up and held her sword… But then she ran towards a giant tree! The bear started to charge at her, but when he reached her Lefty just vanished in a bright light!” Cat exclaimed, catching the gang off guard as their eyes grew HUGE… “I thought she was gone, because the bear just exploded and sizzled away… But when I ran over to pick up my sword, Lefty surprised me and re-appeared! She said she had like teleported and stuff… I asked how, but Lefty just fell down and well.. Here we are…” Cat frowned, as she tied the silk cloth around Lefty’s leg and looked at her handiwork…

Stripes stood flabbergasted, as he looked at Lefty with astonishment in his eyes… “Wow, that’s some courage! I didn’t think Lefty had it in her! Especially since she can’t even catch me when she chases me! Huh, guess I underestimated her…” Stripes grinned, as he looked at the drooling/sleeping canine lass leaning against the tree… Cat walked over to the fire and took off her drenched hood, revealing that she had mud all over her coat… “Right, the bear didn’t get a deep enough cut on her to do any real damage, but she will need to take it simple for the next couple of days, until it scabs over…” Cat frowned as she looked over at Lefty, concerned… She quickly turned her gaze on Shila and Stripes, regardless of how much older they were than her Cat still felt like she had some say so about the situation, “So you guys think you can keep an eye on her?” Cat looked at them seriously… Shila and Stripes exchanged looks, “Ya, I suppose we can easily do that…” Stripes grinned, eyeing Shila in the process who just rolled her eyes…

Cat sighed in relief, “Good… Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to call it a night…” Cat yawned as she walked over to a tree and laid down… “Please forgive me Lefty for having to puppy you these next few days…” Cat silently tried to talk to Lefty in her head, knowing that Lefty probably wouldn’t hear her… In the corner, Lefty slowly grinned, (Oh Cat… You ought to know that isn’t gonna work…) Lefty chuckled in her head, before shifting positions on the tree trunk again….

“Wait, you kidding right? You actually managed to harness that much energy?!” A voice squeaked in surprise… “Hush Space! You’re gonna wake them up, or worse make Stripes wonder why there’s noise when everyone’s supposed to be asleep!” Lefty barked at Space. Space smiled, “Eh.. So what? Like I care… They’ll find out soon enough…” Space grinned… Lefty blushed angrily, “Well, I don’t want them to know! They always act so weird…” Lefty shuddered, reminding her of when they were talking while Cat had cared for Lefty’s leg… Lefty pretended to be sleeping, which was halfway true since she was exhausted, but she was really just listening to them chatting about her, including Cat’s mental conversation about puppying her…

“Prove it…” Space’s voice snapped Lefty back into reality… “Wh…What?” Lefty asked, confused… Space shrugged, “You heard me… Show me how you do all that stuff…” Space grinned… Lefty shifted uncomfortably, “Uh… Well… I don’t know… I’ve never tried it without a reason before…. Besides, I’m not sure that I won’t pass out like earlier…” Lefty sheepishly squirmed… “I’m not gonna tattle if that’s what you think… You said yourself that you just thought of what to do and did it… Can you perhaps like, turn invisible and walk through walls? Or can you fly and shoot out orbs?! I mean that would be sooooo way past cool!” Space grinned, his mind turning at the possibilities his friend held…

(Gee.. Could I really do any of those things?) Lefty thought to herself as she looked at Space, “You can do that and soooo much more, young Prophet… But use it sparingly, lest you wish to pass out again…” The stone cross talked to Lefty again…

Lefty blinked, no matter how many times the stone talked to her, she still couldn’t get used to it talking to her like it knew how to communicate exactly the way she thought… “So, what could we do first?” The curious Space questioned Lefty with big pleading eyes… Lefty nearly laughed, “Boy, for someone who is normally such a quiet, shy, and typically silent mountain lion that I’ve known since childhood, you sure do seem to be breaking character today, yes?” Lefty giggled… Space looked at Lefty curious before his face turned red with embarrassment, “Hey! I’m just curious ok? If you haven’t noticed, we don’t have powers in our world!” Space sharply replied as toyed with his clothes.

Lefty giggled, “Teehee! I know that… Okay I’ll think of something that I can do…” Lefty grinned, as she leaned against the tree once more, careful not to disturb her leg as much as she could help it… Space looked at Lefty and smiled, “Okay… Sounds good… I can wait…” Space smiled as he turned over and looked around… Lefty looked at Space before something zipped across Lefty’s body, causing Lefty to shudder suddenly… Lefty’s cheeks grew very hot, as a wave of emotions ran through her, making Lefty blink in surprise… “Stone? What was that?” Lefty asked, wondering if another attack was coming… The stone glowed brightly, “It’s a strong emotional bond…” The stone whispered back… Lefty blinked in confusion, “Huh? Is it like when you know that you’re friends for life or something? Is Space like, gonna play an important role in aiding me through this mission?” Lefty asked the cross stone, still confused… The stone glowed a number of colors before it made a sort of rainbow hue, making Lefty wonder if it was laughing, “Oh you are sooo naïve….. I guess you can say that in a sense it is that way, young Prophet….” The stone whispered before returning to its original color….

Lefty grunted in confusion, and leaned back further on the tree, still trying to think of something to show Space that would wow him… That’s when a spark of imagination hit her… “Hey Space…” Lefty nudged the drowsy lion, “I’ve got something that I can show you... But just remember that I haven’t tried it before…” Lefty grinned… Space just smiled and stared at Lefty, waiting patiently…

(Ok, here goes nothing..) Lefty sighed, as she concentrated really hard… Her stone cross glowed really bright around the two, before it finally faded away… Space blinked a couple of times before looking at Lefty. That’s when Space gasped, floating above his head was a glowing clear blue image… Lefty smiled as her eyes glowed blue, “Look closer Space…” Lefty smiled, as she looked at the glowing blue object in the air… Space squinted at the floating blue object, when a sudden flash distracted him… Now the clear blue image had moving pictures on it… Space watched as the figures became clearer; it was two people with a small duck? Sitting on a porch…

Lefty looked at Space with glowing blue eyes, “It’s one of our favorite Tv shows… Except, I can control it…” Lefty smiled, as she made the smaller, pointier figure on the image move towards the tree in the fenced backyard and climb it… Space gasped as the squarer figure stood underneath the tree and pointed at the smaller figure, while the err… Duck just sat on the porch staring at the two figures… Lefty smiled, “But that’s not all… I can make it in 3D…” Lefty squealed in excitement as another bright flash stretched across the area…

When Space opened his eyes again, he saw that the illusional tree was now standing in the area, looking as real as a tree could get… Suddenly, the pointier figure fell out of the tree, followed by the square figure who was laughing at the small one… Lefty giggled, “If only you could hear it… But, I don’t know how to project sound to you…” Lefty frowned, as she made the images disappear, followed by Lefty putting a paw on her forehead and groan… “Ugh, but it sure does take a lot out of you though…” Lefty frowned as she rested against the tree…

Space just smiled, “Perhaps, but it was fun wasn’t it?” Space grinned… Lefty huffed, “Ya… I guess it was… I haven’t used my imagination like that in such a long time… I was beginning to go crazy not being able to vent my ideas.” Lefty smiled, as she closed her eyes and dozed off… Space looked at Lefty once more before leaning against his own tree, “I just wish I could have powers too…” Space sighed as he drifted off to dreamland…

Okay, this was mostly just a clean-up chapter... -_- Nothing new really, the gang's still hanging out underneath the trees for the night and such... The next chapters they'll be moving around more. :3 I also kinda squeazed 2 chapters into one here because they were too short otherwise... XP So I guess you got a double dose this week due to the delays. :3 Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter! ^_^
