Kids Assault on Cassie

"Weeeell," Lilly tapped her chin, thinking up what to do with her new spells, "If we got more kids, they might be hard ta take care of, but we'd get lotsa people ta play with..."

An idea suddenly struck Kirk as the four-year-olds flipped through the tome, "Hey, can that book make someone fall in love with someone else? 'Cause there's this girl I really like and-"

"Ewww!" Robin made a yucky-face, looking up at his older brother, "Kirk, you don't really like a girl, do you? Girls're gross!"

"Heh, you just don't know the ways of the world, baby brother." A smirk crossed the young ninja's face as he nudged his once-older sibling, amused by his sudden immaturity.

"Oooo, there is a love spell," Jenny announced happily, now the one holding the book. "And if the girl's nice, she can help us take carea th' babies!"

"Hey!" Ming pouted at her new babysitters, upset. "We're not babies!"

"Are so," giggled Lilly, standing up and pointing off to the door, as if leading her friends into battle. "C'mon, let's go!"



Cassie Sinclair was in a bad mood that day. The shop she'd ordered her new book from had given away her reservation and now she didn't have anything to do today. She was going to check out that house rumored to be haunted, but saw Anne and her friends going in and just couldn't enter with a crowd. Gritting her teeth, wondering how she could get rid of her anger, she stopped walking when she heard a cry ring out behind her.

"That's her!" Kirk smiled behind his ninja mask, his new allies just behind him. "Lily, do your thing!"

"I'm on it!"

As Cassie saw Lilly wave her hand, magical sparks flying along behind it, she threw down her bag. The chance to blow off steam might've finally arrived.
