{Season 1|EP.14}

“MY SHIP HAS SAILED!! I REPEAT MY SHIP HAS SAILED!!! YAAA!!! WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE! FINALLY AFTER 18 YEARS OF BEING FRIENDS YOU’RE FINALLY DATING!!!” Ginger Ale yelled. “Jeez Ginger, not everyone needs to know. Remember Zack doesn't know we’re dating.” Musa sighed. “Musa, you don’t understand. My sister has this thing called “shipping.” I have no idea how to explain it but she does it a lot.” Whiskey shortly explained. “Shipping is like putting two people you want together into a relationship. For example: I ship Tequila and Musa together because honestly it’s like beauty and the beast, plus you guys have that whole sad backstory vibe.” Ginger Ale started. “What does that mean I’m the beast then?” Tequila asked. “Do I really have to explain that to you?” Ginger Ale sighed. “I also ship Vodka and Wendy cause Vodka is totally crushing over Wendy, but Wendy just can’t see it. Plus, young love is adorable!” Ginger Ale smiled. “I also ship Felicity and Whiskey, Scotch and Zayla. Oh! And Gin and Alice.” Ginger Ale said. A couple of seconds later Zayla heard a popping sound. She turned around to see a blue cat right in front of her. Pupcorn is a small blue cat with a white stomach. He has a rectangular head, with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, and light blue cheek marks near to his tiny whiskers (two on each side of his face). Pupcorn has a triangular nose that leads to semi-round upper lips on the sides. His body is rectangular too Pupcorn it has a structure that allows him to walk erect, unlike normal cats. “You finally popped!” Zayla smiled bringing Popcorn into a crushing hug

It’s been two weeks since Alice and Scotch left for their mission. Everyone was worried, though she wouldn’t care to admit it, Zayla was worried also. Granted, she made amends with Scotch for the whole: “You killed my sister” screaming/almost killing situation and still hates him, but lately, she’s been worried about him. She wasn’t the only one though, Gin was always worried about Alice. Alice was just a friend to him, a sister, but it’s not like Gin never thought about being with Alice. But what is ice without water? If that’s true, what’s Gin without Alice? Gin started overthinking everything him and Alice been through. Did he like Alice? But the real question is if Alice likes him. Suddenly, the doors slammed opened. Pupcorn came flying in. “Gin! Alice..HEHNrnefqnfnegqhugnrg…” Pupcorn was freaking out. He was flying around in circles like a bird who found prey. “Pupcorn.” Zayla grabbed him and pulled him down, sitting him on one of the tables. “Calm down, and speak normally.” Pupcorn nodded and took a deep breathe in and out. “What happened?” Gin asked. “Alice...she...she…” Pupcorn was shaking, looking at the ground as though he saw a ghost. “Spit it out dammit! What the hell happened to Alice!” Gin yelled shaking him back and forth. “Gin! If you stop shaking him maybe he’ll answer.” Whiskey sighed grabbed Pupcorn. “Now what happened?” Whiskey asked. “Alice! Alice is what happened! I was fishing at the pound by the train station when all of a sudden, this guy tapped on my shoulder.” Pupcorn started. “What did he look like?” Felicity asked. “He has white hair, brown skin, a scar over his left eye, he was wearing a long black trench coat and a black cowboy hair, kinda like Whiskey.” Pupcorn answered. “So what happened next?” Wendy asked. “He told me to give this to Gin. He said if Gin doesn't give them what they want bad things will happen, they're gonna start picking us off one by one until they get what they desire.” Pupcorn’s eyes started watering up as he pulled out a red envelope and handed it to Gin. He opened it and started reading the writing inside

wE Have tHE ONe yOu DesIre. 24 hOURs is aLL yoU wIll receIvE. To GIvE us WhaT we nEed. If not, tHe oNe you deSire WilL blEED.

He looked back inside the envelope to see the water droplet necklace he got her cracked with blood seeping through the crack. “I’m gonna kill whoever did this!!” Gin yelled, slamming his fist on the floor causing it to turn completely into ice. “Pupcorn, where’s Scotch?” Vodka asked and as soon as he said that, the doors busted open once more and in came Scotch. Blood, deep cuts, and bruises all over him. He barely managed to get to the end of the doorway before collapsing. Luckily, Zayla caught him. “Scotch, come on Scotch speak to me.” Zayla voice trembled in fear. “Zay...Zayla?” Scotch asked weakly. “I’m here. What happened to you?” Zayla asked holding back tears. “Me and Alice tried to fight them off...but there was to many of them...I barely ma...made it back here...the….they have Alice...I’m so sorry Gin...I tried everything…” Scotch managed to say. “It’s fine, as long as your safe.” Gin sighed, looking at the necklace. “Why didn’t you call for backup?” Zayla asked, Scotch put his hand on her check. “I knew they were gonna send you. I couldn’t risk them getting you…” Scotch answered. “B-but...I would've been fine...I-I could’ve of helped…” Tears filled Zayla’s eyes as she spoke. “Zayla...listen to me...you...you mean...to muc...much to me...losing you...is like losing...a part o-of history…” Scotch wiped her tears away. “Don't cry, You know I hate seeing you cry.” Scotch smiled weakly, he lifted up his head slightly and softly kissed Zayla. Zayla sobbed even harder. “Your not gonna leave me… You're not gonna to anywhere… you're gonna stay here with me… you can't be gone… don't leave me like this Scotch…” Zayla said between the kiss. “Zayla, look at me… I'm happy… I'm gonna be in heaven with God… he'll make sure nothing happens to you...” Scotch’s eyes closed slowly. He was dead. Zayla held onto his lifeless body, crying, no that's an understatement, she was sobbing. “Scotch!!!” Zayla sobbed. “Dammit you idiot! Come back! I need you! I thought I had you all figured out! Come back! Come back you stupid idiot!!” Zayla yelled. Ginger Ale tried to pull her off Scotch but she shook her head and held onto him even harder.

“You have to let go Zayla.” Tequila sighed. “Let go of me!! I'm not going anywhere!!” Zayla yelled. “Wendy!! Come here!!” Zayla yelled as Wendy rushed over. “I know for a fact that your healing powers can bring back a person from death. So please, I'm begging you, bring back Scotch.” Zayla begged. “U-um… Zayla… my powers… they aren't that advanced yet… I mean, I barely learned how to do SkyKick! I mean I can revive a person from the dead!” Wendy sighed. “DO IT KNOW!!” Zayla yelled. Wendy nodded and knelt down beside Scotch. “Troia.” Wendy chanted, she generates a sphere of energy between her hands and then touches Scotch’s face with it, affecting her sense of balance. “Don’t exert yourself child.” Carla warned. “Don’t worry Carla, I’ll protect you.” Pupcorn smiled. “You barely popped Pupcorn. I pretty sure you don’t even know how to use magic. For which I can protect myself with. I mean, unless, you can do this.” And at the snap of Charla’s fingers pink and white ribbons surrounded Carla, once they disappeared Carla looked different.

Carla's lipstick is deep purple and her dramatic makeup consists of silvery pink under the eye, hot pink under the crease and two layers of eyeshadow on the brow bone, one is lilac and the other is a pearly white, almost non-visible against her skin. This specific Carla has a pink nose. Her pastel purple hair is curled and pulled in a side ponytail, with side bangs that curl up, framing her face. Catrine is wearing a two layered flowery dress. It is like a tube dress but a skirt flows from the waist line, making it look like a summer dress. The neck of the dress is made of blue sheer, that goes around the neck. In the bust, the dress has a sewn on vinyl flower with branches, as well as a blue ribbon around the waist. Carla is based on flowers, which are her main theme here, with a dark blue headband with a big flower with painted on scary faces, and a lime green bow choker, with a little molded skull. Her shoes are blue heels with vines and fleur de lis molded in them, adorned by big leg bracelets with molded flowers and bulbs. She has two bracelets, one dark blue and the other one hot pink. “See Pupcorn. I can protect myself, thank you very much!” Carla scolded. Parviz chuckled. “What’s so funny Parviz?” Pupcorn growled. “You.” Parviz answered chuckling even more. “What about me?” Parviz asked. “Do I have to pick one thing?” Parviz smirked. “I don’t know if you know this. But Carla doesn't like you.” Parviz sighed. “Well how do I make her like me?” Pupcorn asked. “For starters, change the name. What kind of name is Pupcorn anyways.” Parviz started eating a kiwi. “What kind of name is Parviz.” Pupcorn smirked. “It’s persian for victorious and warrior.” Parviz gloated. “Anyways. What name should I choose?” Pupcorn asked. “How about Zelos? He was a fighter on the side of Zeus during the war of Zeus VS Cronos.” Pupcorn, sorry Zelos, nodded.

“Now, you can’t turn into a human. You need to learn how.” Parviz continued. “It’s a really easy spell. Granted since you just popped it’s gonna take a while. I think there’s a book in the library that shows you how to transform.” Parviz added, and as soon as he said then a scream came from the library. “Musa!” Parviz and Tequila said almost simultaneously. Tequila and Parviz ran into the library to see Musa tied up on the wall. She was bleeding from every inch of her body. “Musa…” Tequila voice sadded. He untied Musa and carried her in his arms. On her stomach, words were cut out to spell “We warned you.”. “ZELOS!!!” Tequila yelled storming out of the library and pinned Zelos to the wall. “Who the hell did that to Musa?” Tequila yelled. “Hey! Hands off my cat! He didn’t do a thing! He just popped! Now don’t get mad at Zelos just cause he didn’t find out who hurt Musa, Scotch, or kidnapped Alice. We’ll find them. I promise.” Zayla sighed as Tequila nodded. “Now. I advise everyone to get to bed and be on guard. We don’t know who, or what, might be lurking around.” Ginger announced. “Hey Ginger Ale. Do you wanna stay with me tonight? I mean I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Whiskey asked as Brandy pulled Ginger close to her. “Don’t worry Whiskey, I’ll keep her safe.” Brandy smiled.

Brandy is a buxom young woman with a slender figure. Her wavy, blonde hair is cropped short, reaching only the base of her nape. It is quite messy, giving it a somewhat spiky appearance. While it is mostly swept back, some bangs hang down her forehead, curving away from the face on either side. Her brown eyes droop at the edges. The mark of the White Swan Corp is branded on the outer side of her left calf. Brandy's casual attire is quite revealing. Her top consists of a simple brown bandeau, with the upper edge embroidered with a flowery, white lace. She also wears loose, pin-striped capri pants, the ends of the legs tightening around her calves. The hems of the legs are decorated with dark piping. Her left forearm is covered by a tight, dark bracer with a wing-like ornament attached to it beneath her elbow. Her right arm is encased in golden armor. While the part covering her upper arm and shoulder is plated, the rest takes the form of a simple gauntlet. Her neck is protected by gorget with a golden border and whose color matches that of her bandeau. A dark jacket with a light border is tied around her waist, allowing it to flare out behind her legs such that it hides her legs from view from behind but leaves them exposed from the front. The jacket has a large collar and lapels. The arms are knotted loosely below her abdomen, the ends hanging down. The light cuffs are quite prominent and each is encircled by a dark band with three rows of studs embedded in it. She completes her outfit with a pair of simple sandals.

Brandy and Ginger Ale went upstairs with the rest of the group members.

Felicity sat on the patio of her bedroom trying to meditate. In her head she kept seeing murals of 5 crystals. A white mural, a red mural, a green mural, a purple mural, and a blue mural. The murals started shattering and crashing down onto Felicity. She started screaming because of the pain. “HELP!!” A voice screamed.

“ALICE!!!” Musa yelled sitting up. “Musa!” Tequila tackled her to the bed. “Musa! Thank god you’re awake!” Tequila sighed in relief. “H-hi Tequila.” Musa shivered under him. “You okay baby?” Tequila asked. Musa’s eyes watered up. “The scar burns like hell.” Musa groaned. Tequila whimpered looking down at the “We Warned You” scar. Tequila kissed the scar making Musa whence in pain. “Te-tequila! I-it burns.” Musa hissed. “I’m gonna make it feel better.” Tequila smirked kissing the scar harder making Musa laugh. “It tickles!” Musa laughed. Tequila’s hands roamed her body. “I-I love you.” Tequila smiled kissing Musa. “I love you too Tequila.” Musa smiled also.
