Strange Phone Calls

Early the next morning, The girls are still asleep. The phone began to ring in Dr. K’s office, Jenna rushes to the phone and answers it. “Hello?” the phone clicks off, “Well that was weird, guess it was a wrong number…” Jenna goes to Dr. K and tells him. He is concerned, “We must be careful, It might be a trap by Diana…” Jenna looks nervous but agrees.

Over at SERD, Rainbows has just hung up the phone. “This is gonna be so fun…” He tells Diana, “Well, um… have fun…” She tells him, before leaving the room. Rainbows smirks, "We always do...". Diana leaves the room, fully confident in her new team. Rainbows looks at D  GC, "We are clear on the plans? You and everyone else knows their part?" D da GC nods in approval. Rainbows begins to laugh, "what a wonderful birthday it will be...

Meanwhile, at FOE, the girls have just woken up. Kate goes to Dr. K's office and begins questioning him and Jenna. Kate questions them about what happened to her during that last fight, and if they got any special readings from her. Dr. K began an explanation, "You see Kate, Jenna and I have been talking about this for a while now. The simple explanation is, we have no idea where this power has come from, nor have we figured out how you might be able to tap into it, all we do know is that it's is likely possible for all of you to learn it. It is highly probable that Diana already possesses the skill, and able to even fully control it. The likelihood of her not knowing is inconceivable. We can't see an outcome to where she wouldn't. However the overflow of Aura might be unstable, after all, we have no clue if even your grandfather could use it, or even fully comprehend it's potential."

Kate doesn't seem too enthusiastic after hearing that answer, just then Kristine opens the door. "What if Kate were to, let's say freeze me till I pass out, would that be enough for you to use your power? That way I can talk to and perhaps train with, someone from long past?" Jenna shakes her head no, "I told you, must be near death, not just pasted out..." Kate looks at Kristine, then back at Jenna, "What about a bloodletting, I can cut her, then stop the bleeding once she's close to death..." Kristine nods in agreement. Dr. K visibly angry, "Hell no! Not in my school, not under my care. I absolutely will not stand for that, it is far too risky. You know as well as I do, if you were unable to stop it and bring her back, you would never be able to forgive yourself, nor would I be able to forgive myself. I cannot I will not be a part of this, and will not allow it! Do I make myself clear!?" Kate looks down, Kristine looks hopeless. "Fine, I will obey you, I don't want my sister to die. We do need to find an answer,  somehow..." Dr. K and Jenna agree.

The other girls are outside the door and heard everything that was said, they all are shaken by it, even Kiki seems moved. They all go to the Library and talk about everything that happened.

The phone begins to ring, and Kelly answers it, "Hello... Is Kristine there?" Kelly is confused, "Who is this?" The voice becomes less friendly, "I said is Kristine there!?" The voice begins to laugh joyfully. "Fine you loco freak! I'll get her..." The voice seems appeased by the news. "That's a good girl Kelly..." Kelly seems very uneasy hearing this.

Kristine sees the look on Kelly’s face, and grabs the phone quickly. “who are you!?” She demands to the caller, all that is heard is whistling happy birthday. The phone went dead soon after, Kristine looks confused.

Dr. K and Jenna question Kristine about the call, “They just whistled happy birthday…” Dr. K looks concerned, “We have to be careful, something is quite off about this…” Kate interjects, “I think we can handle whatever dear old mother sends our way, I don’t want this to wreck Kristine’s special day…” Kiki nods in agreement, “Kate your like totally right! Kristine needs a good day like soon, We can totally take on anything!” Jenna interrupts, “No girls, you aren’t ready for everything. For one thing, if your mom shows up… You know, I do not want to think about that. We haven’t the foggiest idea what they're up to, and that puts us in a bad place. Diana is a very, very reckless woman. I’ve heard stories from my father, we have to be on guard at all times. Failure isn’t an option, you have to be cautious!” Kate gets angry, “We can and will handle it, whatever it is, whatever it takes! You better understand that! We didn’t survive all we’ve been through for nothing!”

A loud knock on the door echoes throughout the main hall, Kate goes up to the door, and swiftly opens it. It’s a mail carrier, “Hello ma’am, I have this letter for a Kristine  Walker, Is that you sweetie?” Kate looks over at the mail woman, “No, not quite, that would be my sister…” Kristine approaches the door. “Here you go honey, this is for you. I think it’s a birthday card, from your mom. Oh, Happy Birthday day dear…” Kristine looks shocked, she examines the letter, it’s covered in glitter and has a cake sticker on the back, it seems to be holding it closed. Kristine thanks the mail lady, and she leaves promptly.

Karen takes the letter from Kristine, “There’s no way this isn’t a trap…” Kiki laughs “No way dude, it’s like totally fine!” Kimmi cuts her off, “I ‘ope you joking…” Kiki looks caught off guard, “That was like, totally wrong of you and stuff… Like I was kidding, chill out…” Kammi giggles, but then turns serious. “Karen, I’ll open it if you want me to…” Dr. K stops them, “Not so fast there Kammi…” Kiki busts out laughing loudly. They all look at her, “Chill out, that was like totally funny!” Dr. K nods, “The pun was not intended, now then. Let me check it over, hand me the letter.” Karen hands over the latter. “I’ll look into this, after some tests.” He turns to go upstairs. “Wait! Give that back to me, It’s on me, whatever it is!” Kristine yells. Dr. K turns around, “You have a reason to wave caution?” Kristine nods, “I have a feeling it’s not dangerous… not this time.” Dr. K hands it back to Kristine. “I pray you know what you're doing…” Kristine nods.

She slowly opens the letter, once the sticker is off, it opens easily. The continents were only a plain birthday card. She slowly opens it to read. “Happy Birthday to a special young lady.” It’s signed by Diana, Kristine stares at it. Kate looks at it as well, “That’s weird, it seems utterly normal…” They look at the back, “I know it’s early, so don’t expect your gift just yet…” Stamped from S.E.R.D., Kristine looks at Dr. K. “I’m confused, this isn’t…” Jenna takes the card and gives it to Dr. K. “Jenna doesn’t worry, we’ll figure this out.” Jenna tells her, just before they head upstairs.

Later on in Kate’s room, Kristine and Kate are trying to relax watching a movie. “This is a weird movie, who falls in love with an undead guy?” Kristine questions. Kate laughs “I don’t know, maybe she was lonely or something…” Kate responded. They continue to watch it to the end.

In the gym Kelly and Kammi are training, They are working to help the other's weaknesses. Kammi dodges Kelly’s punches with ease. Kelly backs away, Kammi rushes her with punches. They land but not very effectively. They continue to go back and forth.

In Kiki and Karen’s room, the girls are playing some games on Kiki’s laptop. “Like this is fun!” Kiki yells out. Karen nods in agreement. “Totally…” Kiki laughs loudly “What what!? That’s funny!” Karen laughs as well, “I just wanted to try it out.”

Kimmi is downstairs cooking, “I tink tis will be good…” Jenna looks over the meal. “I bet it will be…” Dr. K looks over at the food as well. “I must say Kimmi, you’re a fine cook, it looks quite magnificent indeed.” He commented. Kimmi smiles, “Any ting foe my family…” Kimmi replied.

“Let them have their fun, this plan will change them forever”
