by Lady Starfire DING-DONG! "I'll get it!" Katrina yelled out of habit, even though there was no one home but her (Darby was out). She opened the door and let in all the girls and their guardians (including Emily, why is she always around?) who had come over for a sleep over party! They all talked and laughed as they carried their bags upstairs, and then played rock paper scissors to see who got to sleep where.
"Woohoo!" Sandy yelled as she beat Janine, therefore getting the couch in Katrina's room, "Well now that we all know where we're going to sleep, do you want to go to the pool now or lat--"
CRASH! SMASH! BANG! CRACK! WHAM!
Talena gasped. "Maybe we should go there now! What's going on outside?!"
They all ran out to the pool and saw (dun dun dun!) an Evil toaster monster draining the pool, smashing everything in sight, and TOTALLY WRECKING THE PARTY!!! Chrissy screamed, "AAAIEEE!! It's the Evil toaster king here to get revenge for me turning one of it's subjects into a fireball!! OH NO!!!"
Maria found it a little hard to believe her future mother did that, and was surprised when Mary seemed to forget about the Evil toaster destroying everything and asked, "So how exactly did you turn it into a fireball, Chrissy?"
"Oh, I just taped the handle thing down so that it over heated."
"So that's what we'll do now! We'll transform and push it's handle down so it over heats and combusts!"
Because this was a good plan (and no one else had one) they transformed and faced THE TOASTER.
"Hey!" Sailor Dragonspaw shouted, "You can't destroy our party because... because... because I say you can't!"
The Toaster-of-Doom turned and pointed it's toasting slots at the Scouts, yelling, "Strawberry Poptart Defrost!" A ton of frozen solid strawberry Poptarts came flying out of it's giant slots, destroying the party around them where they landed. The ones that were headed for the Scouts were mostly fended off with clever blocks, quick dodges, and if not graceful, effective sticks swung around like baseball bats. "Why does he have to attack with things that hurt?" Yui grumbled, "I don't-ow!-like getting hurt!"
Bruce had an idea and said to Sailor Yui, "Hey! I've got a good idea that... are you listening?!" Bruce took Yui's mind off dodging the poptarts by nipping her ankle.
"Ow!"
"Good, I've got your attention. Why don't you try stopping the poptarts at the source?"
"Oh yeah!" She faced THE TOASTER and said, "Hey! Yeah you, you Evil-trying-to-kill-us-house-hold-appliance!" She reached into her Magic Leather Bag and pulled out... a parrot? The bird squawked, "Squawk! Starfire's an idiot!" before biting Yui ("Ow!") and flying off.
"Well," Starshine said, "That was weird."
"Uhh, heh heh, lemme try again." This time didn't seem to be any more useful as she pulled out a large glob of Silly Putty. "Oh, you stupid bag!" Yui yelled as she tossed the glob aside. By chance, it landed on the toaster, blocking a few Poptarts from shooting out. Yui immediently apologized to her bag and pulled out glob after glob of Silly Putty, hurling them at the monster (fortunately, none missed!).
As the monster was no longer able to attack, Steelkitty saw her chance. "Steel Furious Blade!" The triangle hit the killer appliance's lever, forcing and keeping it down. Just as Mary had predicted, the toaster first started smoking, then buzzing strangely, and then finally exploded. Everyone oohed and ahhed at the explosion like they would fireworks, then realized just how much damage had been done to the party. Sailor Dragonspaw screamed. "My sister is going to KILL me!!"
The monster had done it's work well, dumping trash everywhere, destroying things destroyable, it even thought to drain the pool (a smart monster?! No way!). Sailor Sandrock looked around at all of the damage, then concluded, "Yeah, she is."
The Scouts started to discuss different ways to repair what they could... everyone but Sailor Hurricane who was scavenging around looking for anything worth selling (and are we surprised?).
Even during the conversation, they all kept a good distance from Katrina, who looked like she was going to explode from anger. Keeping an eye on Sailor Dragonspaw, Shadow gave some suggestions. "Well, I guess that we could do what we can, and then replace the--"
"I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE ANYTHING!!!!" Dragonspaw screamed with bulging eyes and throbbing veins, "AFTER EVERYTHING I DID, THAT LOSER MONSTER HAD TO GO AND WRECK IT ALL!!!!! THAT...THAT...RRRRRRRGGG, DRASKIN GO!!!!!"
Zalla's turn to scream. "Dragonspaw, what are you doing????!!!!!"
Ariella blinked and turned to Reepicheep. "She stops doing that; but right now, you wouldn't think so."
Draskin beat his mighty wings, sending all the garbage and debri into Katria's mean neighbor's yard. After a pause (in which Draskin had gone back to Sailor Dragonspaw's arm), it dawned upon everyone that Katrina's stupid, impulsive, and spastic move had actually and unintentionally worked! Ok, ok, so it wasn't all THAT bad.
Janine summed up what everyone was thinking when she said, "Sailor Dragonspaw, that's a good idea! We can use our powers to fix the party! I'm sure people won't notice, you have a high wooden fence."
"You know what," Sailor Dragonspaw said thoughtfully, "That's a very good idea--"
"JANINE had a good idea???!!!!!" Starfire said in disbelief.
"Better than anything YOU could come up with!!" Janine shot back. And the fight was on. Steelkitty asked Starshine if they EVER stopped fighting, and was disapointed to learn that they didn't.
As Starfire and Hurricane continued to their fight (which, in a short amount of time, had switched from whom had good ideas to whom the cooler Scout was to whom had better hair to Starfire still not forgiving Hurricane for taking her shoes and then to what all their fights boiled down to: which was better, koala bears @( *0* )@ or teddy bears) the rest of the Scouts and the gaurdians divided the work based on each individual's powers.
First of all, it was unanimous that the first thing to do was to clean up the monster's mess. But just as they were about to get started, the police arrived (it took a while to calm down Steelkitty and convince her that they weren't after her). It was also a unanimous decision that this was not a good thing. To make things WORSE, the police officer was pretty perverted and kept looking at the girl's miniskirts and legs. "So, uh, do any of you ladies have any ideas as to what leg--i mean, led to several people calling in to us and saying that they hot--er, um, had seen some sort of monster shaped like a toaster?"
Maria, being young and not used to leering old men, got VERY mad as she was looked over by him, and before she knew what she was doing had yelled, "Look at this, creep!! Starlight Twinkle!!" What happened next was pretty cool. Stars appeared above the policeman's head, and the brightest light you had ever seen sparkled out of them and right into the old man's eyes. The policeman was blinded/stunned/knocked out. The Sailors split up to take care of their new first priority.
Katrina had been learning how to make food appear from Steve. she now made buckets and buckets of chicken and she, and everyone else other than Sandrock, Starfire, Curtain, and Hurricane started going door to door giving away free chicken. The other four took care of the police officer.
Sandrock hotwired the car, and Starfire gave directions to the donut shop (yeah, she would know). Hurricane drove (SCARY!), and Curtain zapped electricity into the car as it began to run out of gas. They parked the car in front of the store so that he would think he'd fallen asleep by the donut place again, and then they all raced back (Starfire lagging, she had bought a donut while there).
When everyone was back at Katrina's, they split up the work based on their powers. Sailor Curtain fixed the electrical problems the monster had created, and as a bonus, zapped the satelite on Katrina's house and therefore getting her 17 more channels!! Sandrock's brightly colored crystals were the perfect touch for a game of tag. Sandrock was it, and her crystals were HARD to dodge.
Sailor Hurricane was then assigned to fill the pool, since she did have a watery attack. She stopped some fight she was having with Starfire to say, "OK! Hurricane Hail Blast!" This, however, was not nearly as helpful as it was hoped as it only filled the pool a little more than half way, and with bits of ice at that. As everyone looked into the pool with sinking hopes, Starshine suddenly had an idea. "Hey! Why don't we get a bucket and fill it with this ice? It'd be perfect for keeping drinks cold!!"
Everyone cheered and followed through with her idea, and Icesis filled the pool the rest of the way, leaving the top glossy and perfectly smooth. "Wow," Sailor Starfire said as she looked at the pool, "It's so pretty!" Pretty as it was, she made the mistake of walking out onto it. After slipping and falling, she slid halfway down the pool while she went on about how much she loved heat better (and used some pretty bad language to inforce her thoughts). Everyone laughed, then joined her. Yui provided ice skates for everyone, courtesy her bag o' tricks. Everyone skated and skated until they were soaked, freezing, and having so much fun they laughed until their sides hurt.
"Brrr!" Dragonspaw said through chattering teeth, "These fukus are cute, but not the best for holding in heat."
Janine agreed and said so. "If only we had some sort of way to get all of this ice mel--" she suddenly stopped, and everyone turned to Starfire.
Reepicheep said to her, "Starfire, we know that this might not be the smartest thing, but we're trusting you to melt all this ice without burning down Katrina's house as well. Do you understand? WITHOUT burning down Katrina's house!!"
"Don't worry, I would NEVER burn down Katrina's house! ...Her lawn would burn WAY better!"
After Starfire convinced everyone she was kidding (especially Sailor Dragonspaw), everyone got off the ice and watched as Hurricane's and Icesis's ice rink was melted without so much as an ice cube left. Sailor Hurricane found this very emotional and had to use several Kleenex. All the Scouts changed into their swimsuits and climbed into the water which was not, as everyone thought, way too hot but actually just right.
Everone dried off and changed into PJ's (Chrissy and Janine fighting about who had the cooler ones), and played Monopoly while eating pasta made by Maria; and unlike Chrissy's cooking, no one choked (with the exception of Sandi when Chrissy told her she hated Creed). All the girls then went up to bed, and, exausted, fell asleep in no time. Everything from then on was like a normal slumber party... except for the fact that when Janine woke up she gave Chrissy a three inch bleeding scratch on her arm for writing 'IDIOT' on her forehead when she was asleep. Chrissy was laughing too hard to care. They all went home after they had tracked down their gaurdians (who had been inside the whole time, raiding Katrina's kitchen, trying to teach Emily to talk [nothing yet] and that sort of stuff), they sadly had to go home, where they saw on the news how several people reported seeing a giant toaster, but when questioned, claimed that this never happened...
