La Kitten

"manny, come here for a moment please," his dad called out.

Manny entered the living room to find out what news his dad had for him.

"yeah dad?" he replied.

"I have a suprise for you," he explained.

Manny's big brown eyes grew wider as his father went on.

"your long lost cousin, Janet, is coming to live with us," he said proudly.

Manny's large smile faded into a suprised uncomfortable one. Manny's father turned around revealing a 13 year old girl. She had long, brown hair with large bangs covering her face. She had green eyes like his and a scar appeared on her face just like his. She wore a tight blue long sleeve shirt with a black jacket over it, and long jeans with black flares, she also wore silver tennishoes with green sparkles on the side. She smiled and ran up to hug manny. His cheeks warmed up a bit and slowly hugged her back. wow. I have a long lost cousin, he thought.

"I so glad to finally met you manny," she said in a sweet tone.

"uh...yeah, me too," he replied.

Manny wanted to show Frida Janet's arrival so he stopped at her house. Manny rang frida's doorbell and waited. Janet stared all around her trying to get everything memorized. Frida's father opened the door and frowned at Manny.

"what do you want rivera?" he said harshly.

"I wanted to introduce frida to my cousin, Janet," he explained.

"not another rivera," he whinned.

"what's wrong with riveras?" Janet snitched.

Her eyes filled with angry as she glared at him. Frida's father finally gave in and called frida down. Frida ran down the stairs.

"yes papa?" she asked.

"the punk is here," his father explained.

"papa! Manny is not a punk! He's just a boy with freakish superpowers," she snapped.

"whatever," he mumbled to himself and went to the kitchen to get a snack.

"what's up dude," frida greeted.

"not much, exept for my long lost cousin," he replied showing off Janet.

"cooooool," frida said as her eyes grew larger.

"I want a long lost cousin," frida complained.

"dude, is she like your girlfriend or something," Janet whispered to manny.

A slight blush appeared on his face as he heard that.

"ewww, no way, we're just friends," manny whispered back to her.

"hey, are you guys having secret conversations without me," frida said.

"yes," janet said honestly.

"oh ok, just wondering," frida replied happily.

"hey how bout we all go to the circus!" Janet sugested.

"sounds good to me," manny said.

"I like your cousin already," frida told manny.

They all walked to the circus that was only in town for 2 days. Janet bought 3 front row tickets including popcorn and cotton candy. Janet located their seats and waited till the show started. The host of the circus had the spot light on him and announced the beggining act.

The small light moved from the host to the entrace of the first act. Nobody came out. The crowd started to boo and throw circus food at the host. One even threw a donkey. There was a sudden rush of cold air and an evil laugh. Sartana of the Dead bursted through the circus entrance.

"I'm back El Tigre!" sartana said.

"I uh... gotta get a soft pretzel," janet stated an ran away.

"um...okay," frida replied alittle wierded out that she would be getting a pretzel right now, churos would be better.

"Sartana! face the rath of..." manny said as he span his belt buckle.

"EL TIGRE!!" he finishedand and jumped to the tent's support beam.

Sartan played her mystic gutiar and about 10 dead people came up from the earth's surface. El Tigre sneered at her and let out a fierce roar.

"you. You ruined my cousin's arrival. Scared her off. But worst of all! you messed with the wrong guy!" he screamed.

"your welcome," was all she could say.

Just then a tiger's roar was heard on another beam. A girl appeared. She wore a brown cat suit with so many of El Tigre's features like the whiskers on the sides of his head, a mask that went over her head, cat ears, brown boots, a bandana, a tail, and a belt with a silver belt buckle. Her bandana was blue instead of red and the letter was 'K' instead of 'T', her boots were high heels, she had a skirt that went over her pants, her tail was longer and swayed back and forth like it didn't have an off botton, and her head mask had a pony tail flying out of it. She had her arms crossed over another and looked up.

"sartana," she said in a dark voice.

"you didn't think you could have a party without me knowing," she pleaded.

" la kitten," sartana hissed.

La Kitten's claws appeared as she jumped off the beam. La Kitten clawed in half three dead people. El tigre just stood there with his touge out staring at kitten. Sartana pointed her gutiar to the love bird el tigre and was ready to end him. A red beam blasted but la kitten pushed him aside.

"sartana! leave him alone!" she roared and grabbed sartana's gutiar.

La Kitten clawed the gutiar in half and it exploded...again. La Kitten moved back and protected el tigre. At the end of the flash sartana and her minions were gone. Nothing but ashs.

"I fear she is going to return," la kitten mumbled to herself and turned to el tigre.

"hey, you okay," she asked.

"oh yes, I'm more than okay," he said with cute eyes.

"good to know, I can't let miracle city's most macho hero to get hurt," she said flirtishly.

Frida jumped over the gate and ran to the heros.

"are you okay el tigre!?" she asked with consern.

"I'm fine," he lied.

Frida noticed a large cut on manny's waist. It bled through his el tigre suit and dripped on the ground. Her eyes filled with consern for him.

"but your wounded," she answered.

"oh, look at that," he said as if he couldn't care less.

Frida took a long strip of white cloth out of her pocket. She handed one end to la kitten and frida wrapped it around manny's waist. Kitten tied it. La Kitten looked at el tigre up and down.

"so are you two going out or something?" La kitten asked.

Manny's heart stopped in his chest and his whiskers shot up. Frida blushed and looked at her feet.

"no way!" manny answered.

"oh okay, just wondering," she replied. She began to walk away to the tent entrance.

"oh wait!" manny said. La Kitten stopped and turned around.

"will I ever see you again La Kitten?" he asked. Kitten got closer to him and put two fingers under his chin.

"anytime you want me around just whishle, oh, and leave the 'la' out of my name," she whispered on his neck.

Manny's heart beat went crazy and his left ear started to twitch. His blush grew deeper and his tail swayed back and forth. He started to prr as she scratched his chin. She then turned back around and made her way out. Then he realized something an turned to Frida.

"WHERE'S JANET!!!??" he asked.

"she should be back soon," frida replied.

"how long does it take to get a soft pretzel?" manny asked frida. She shrugged.

Manny spun his belt buckle again and returned to his normal form. At that last part Janet came running from the circus entrance. She was panting hard and started to sweat.

"sorry, guys," she apologized.

"where were you?" manny asked.
