It started out as a pretty normal day. The BladeBreakers would salvage what they could after Tyson inhales breakfast, do some training and sit around making jokes at Kai's expense. Kai would pulverize them, yada yada yada... Then things took a turn for the worse. In an insanely humiliating and funny way.

"Kenny! What the hell are you doing up there!? It's been days and you haven't even called!" Tyson yelled from the bottom of the Tamea house's stairs. It turns out that Kenny hadn't been at the dojo for quite some time, and the whole team was curious as to why. Max needed a new blade. Ray wanted to know where his friend was. Tyson was starting to miss the clicking sound of Kenny's fingers on Dizzi's keyboard. Kai wanted some help in designing a new training routine; whoopee... Anyway, Tyson and the rest of the Bladebreakers waited for an answer.

"I'm here guys!" Came the reply. Tyson shrugged and lead the way up the flight of stairs. Max opened the door casually, and walked in to find a surprise. Kenny's room looked half empty. Except for a table of weird looking glowing vile. There were suitcases littering the floor. Kenny happened to be sitting on one actually, trying to force it closed. He was having a lot of trouble doing so.

"So, hi guys! Glad you came. We 're going on vacation! Dad decided we needed 'family time' and is taking me and Mom to Hong Kong! That's why I haven't been over in the last few days. The anticipation is overwhelming! Anyhow, we'll be gone for a week or two. You guys can survive for that long without me and Diz can't ya?" Kenny said happily.

"I dunno Chief... Kai might get irritated and kill everyone." Dizzi inquired from the labtop, sitting on Kenny's bed.

"Uh, yah, I guess... But you better not be any longer than two weeks! Our tournament's coming up!" Tyson said, brandishing Dragoon proudly.

"Aw, don't worry guys! I left all my training info and data with Hilary! I already told her this morning, and she'll be over soon see, I'm leaving... In two hours. That's why packing was such a rush. I only had two days. I've decided to leave my keys with you guys. I want you all to stay here after I leave and wait for Hilary; And feed my cats while the we're away." The whole room, minus Kai, having to put up with Hilary and not having a Chief to calm her down when she got ecstatic spelt danger with a capital D.

"I see where you're going with this. Hilary's gonna meet us over here, so we wait 'till she comes... Which is...?" Ray finished, sending Kenny a curious look.

"In 2 and a half hours. But, I'll leave in about an hour and a half, while you guys stay here and wait for her. But when you leave the house, don't forget to lock the doors and windows, feed my cats, water the plants, and for the LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT TOUCH MY EXPERIMENTS!" Kenny said rather warningly, while pointing at the table the team noticed earlier. "I'm working on serums to reduce furball urges for cats. Not doing anything with it until it's stable (which will be in about 3-4 weeks), could result in hideous, unknown side effects! So DON'T GO NEAR IT!" the Chief yelled, the team wide eyed. They managed a slight nod, just to show they understood.

The next hour and so on went rather calmly, Kenny helping the guys with whatever problems they had during said time. Then came the shout from Kenny's Dad, and after a few goodbyes and a 'hmph' from Kai, the Tameas were off to catch their plane. The BladeBreakers still had an hour to waste, so they lounged around Kenny's room and just talked.

"Have any of you noticed something different about Mariam from the SaintShields? She seemed far away the other day. And the day before that." Max sighed, deep in conversation, for some reason, made Kai open his eyes curiously and stare at the blonde.

"I'm pretty sure that it's none of our girl is weird. What's bothering her could simply be nothing less then something." Kai said in fact, returning to his usual position against the green wall. Max sighed again, and got off the floor and wandered over to Kenny's experiment table along side Tyson.

"Max, Tyson, Kenny told us to stay away from those!" Ray shouted once he saw Tyson pick a light blue glowing vile up and shake it quickly. Ray got up from his leaning against the bed and went up behind Tyson to grab the vile. Max had to laugh when Ray held the vile slightly out of Tyson's reach. But the hyper active kid also saw his chance at mischief. He held a beaker of lavender purple, and acted as if he were drinking the liquid. Tyson turned and laughed, which triggered Kai's alert. He slightly ran over and tried to get Max to give him the vile. But instead, accidentally poured it over Max.

The blonde felt estranged immediately, and fell to his knees. Tyson, alarmed, broke from Ray's grasp and also spilt the blue goo on himself. The same was happening to Tyson as he fell to his knees in pain. Ray tried to bend down to help his fallen comrades, and accidentally bumped his head on the hard table. The two remaining tubes, of black and red, covered Ray and Kai. Then about one minute of screaming agony, and there was a pink cloud. But after the dust had settled, lay a cat, a guinea pig, a puppy and a rabbit.

"BARK BARK! BARK BARK BARK!" What used to be Max said. The blonde was now a lower -than-knee height dark brown puppy.

"MEOW!" Ray had turned into a white and black tomcat.

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK SQUEAK!" The fat little Tyson\rodent uttered.

"..." The cold hearted Kai-now-turned-bunny said nothing, but looked around in distaste. Utter distemper. And that was when they heard the Tamea's front door open and a familiar female voice.

"Tyson? Kai? You guys, it's me, Hilary!" She said, prancing up the stairs cheerily. She almost had a heart attack when she saw Dragoon, Dranzer, Driger and Draciel sitting next to a bunch of animals. Let's jut say it didn't take Hilary a long time to figure the whole thing out. Kenny had warned her of the experiments too, and seeing the broken viles and no Bladebreakers besides pets, she understood perfectly.

"WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO??????" She screamed, causing Kai to inadvertedly bend one ear and flinch. "Okay, okay, breathe.. Breathe..." It seemed to Hilary that she couldn't understand what the animals were saying, but they could understand eachother and what she was also saying. Just when she noticed a blue haired teen walking outside.

"MARIAM!" Hilary dashed across the road, narrowly avoiding getting hit by a car and dragged the SaintShield into the house.

"Woah, woah, what the fuck is your problem?!" Mariam said objectively before Hilary pointed to the zoo sitting behind her. Really, it didn't take Mariam very long either. She bent down, and immediately the puppy bounded into her arms. "...Max?" She asked while lifting the dog into the air above her head. A cheerful bark told her all she needed to know then. She picked up the guinea pig which felt kinda heavy. That alone gave it away. Next was the cat. It rubbed against Mariam's ankles, and she stroked it gently. "Wow... Ray?" The kitty purred, looking up at the 2 girls with those same golden eyes. She tried to pick up the rabbit next, but it jumped out of her reach. Mariam sneered. "Kai".

"Mariam, what are we gonna do? Kenny won't be back for a week or so, and I don't know how to reach him! He should be on his plane right now!" Hilary quivered, worry evident in her voice. The one thing the chocolate eyed female had to admit was that the miniature wildlife park was really cute. The guinea pig especially. "Ok, ok.. Look, I have to go and feed Kenny's cats and water the plants. Can you keep an eye on them for me? After that, you need to help me come up with a place to keep them. My mom won't let me have pets!" Hilary said. Mariam sighed, and nodded.

'Oh, how do I get myself into these things?' She and Hilary were left to deal with the funny farm while Kenny got to go on a jet plane and a vacation; Is this ever gonna be a fun few weeks...

OKAY! DONE! Please review!
