Chapter 9: The wish part 1.

The three humanoids are once again standing in front of a screen. The screen comes to
life with a familiar dark face with glowing eyes.

"Have you completed the crystal yet?" The face asks.

"We have located all but two." The woman responds.

"But what about the two those girls have." A man whispers.

The woman hits him.

"What is this about someone else having two crystals?" The face asks, eyes glowing
brighter.

The woman shoots the guy a nasty look.

"Uh mearly a setback. We will get those crystals as well." The woman says.

"You have still failed to find a perfect host for the zerks. You have wasted too many of
them. The zerk queen is very angry." The face says.

"I am sorry my lord. We have tried but the warriors of this planet are more powerful than
we ever imagined." The woman says.

"Excuses excuses. I will not have your excuses. Get me the crystals or I will replace you
and you will face my wrath." The face says.

"Yes." The woman says bowing.

The screen goes blank.

"Have you found a location for a crystal?" the woman yells.

"The last two seem to be not in this area. But the scanner shows that one of them is
approaching this area.

Meanwhile a plane lands and a large box is brought out. Inside the box is a bunch of
crystals. One of them glows with it's own Inner Light.

Luna is walking down the street with the same cat that saved her from the mean owner.
The cat meows and purrs. He then rubs himself on Luna.

"Oh you're so affectionate." Luna purrs.

Meanwhile Artemis is watching them.

"Big showoff. Walking around with her boyfriend." Artemis says.

"What are you up to Artemis?" Mina asks.

Artemis nearly jumps up a mile in surprise.

"Don't sneak up on me." Artemis yowls.

"I heard what you said and saw you watching Luna. Are you jealous?" Mina asks
playingly.

"Me jealous of that alley cat?" Artemis responds.

Mina smiles.

"He did save her life. She's probably just grateful for that." Artemis says.

He turns and sees Luna and the alley cat cuddling with each other. Artemis hisses.
Artemis storms home with Mina and just takes a catnap. The doorbell rings and John
goes up to the door. He opens it up and smiles.

"Finally my replacement crystal is here." John says.

John signs for it and closes the door. He puts the box down and opens it up. Meanwhile
Artemis has entered the living room curious to see the new crystal. He meows in awe as
he sees the big crystal with a base to sit it on.

"You like it huh?" John says.

Artemis meows in agreement.

Mina walks in.

"Cool a new crystal." Mina says.

This is even batter than the last one I had. This is said to have been blessed by a great
magician that had the power to grant wishes. It says that if the right person makes a wish
near it, it will grant it." John says.

Mina ponders on whether the threat they are up against will come after this one. A
scratching comes at the door and a familiar meow sounds.

"That must be Luna." Mina says.

She opens the door and lets her in. Thankfully for Artemis, she doesn't have her kitty
friend with her. Artemis meows and motions for the bedroom. Luna follows.

"What's up?" Luna asks.

"Did you have fun with your boyfriend?" Artemis asks.

"For the last time he is not my boyfriend but yes I did have fun." Luna responds.

"Oh don't give me that. I saw you too cuddle and be close to each other." Artemis says.

"So he has a crush on me. Doesn't mean I feel the same." Luna says.

Artemis meows frustrated.

"Besides. Even if I did have feelings for him, why should you care?" Luna asks.

Artemis leaves in a huff. Mina walks in.

"What was that all about?" Mina asks.

"I don't know. Artemis has never acted that way to cats I have hung out with before."
Luna says.

"Have you ever thought of him as more than a friend?" Mina asks.

"Well maybe but we have a mission to fulfill and we can't let anything get in that way."
Luna says.

If Luna were human, she'd probably be blushing right now. Mina gives Luna a look.

"Okay. I feel for him as more than a friend right now. If we didn't have this mission, I
would probably be with him." Luna says.

"If you didn't have this mission, you'd probably not be together right now." Mina says.

"You see this moon on my face? This means I have a mission to protect this world and
you scouts from any evil." Luna says.

Luna storms out and Mina just sighs. Luna goes so fast that she doesn't notice that
Artemis is sleeping in one of the other bedrooms. In his dreams he and Luna are standing
near each other.

"Luna. I love." Artemis starts to say.

Before he can finish Luna leaves him for another cat. Artemis hisses and attacks the other
cat. Despite the other cat's size, it badly hurts Artemis. Luna just walks away and doesn't
help Artemis.

"Luna!" Artemis yells before everything goes dark.

He wakes up suddenly and yowls. Mina runs in.

"Are you okay?" Mina asks.

"Yeah. Just a dream." Artemis responds sadly.

"Why are you acting this way to Luna?" Mina asks.

"I don't know. A lot of strange things are going through my head right now." Artemis
responds.

"You have never acted this way before. Even though you have known Luna for such a
long time. Both in this life and the previous one on the moon." Mina says.

"I think that the future of Serena and Darien being discovered, has made me realized that
you never know what will happen in the future." Artemis says.

Artemis shuts his eyes again and Mina leaves him alone. That night Mina sits in her room
and ponders what she heard from both cats.

"I wish that they could be human for a day. Maybe that would help them come to terms
with their feelings." Mina says.

She falls asleep and unseen by everybody, the crystal starts glowing brightly and inside
the cats' room, a transformation is occurring. Early in the morning, before the sun comes
up, both Luna and Artemis wake up. Luna is alarmed to see that she can't see anything in
the dark.

"I'm blind. Oh my god." Luna yells.

She tries to get up but finds something is strange with her legs. It hurts to walk on all
fours and she notices that she doesn't have any fur anymore. She crawls painfully over to
the door and finds that she can reach the light switch. She turns on the light and looks in
the mirror. Luna screams. The others run in and gasp as they see a naked strange woman
on all fours in front of the mirror.

"Who are you and what are you doing in our house?" John says with a bat in his hand.

The woman turns her face towards John. Serena squints at the woman and gasps.

"Luna? No it can't be?" Serena says.

A grumble sounds from beside the bed and a naked man sits up.

"What was that scream?" The man asks.

Mina looks at the man and gasps.

"Artemis?" Mina says.

"Luna and Artemis? The cats. Is this some kind of a joke?" The host woman asks.

Mina puts her hand to her mouth.

"Oh my god. I wished that they would become human. I never thought it would really
happen. It must have been your crystal." Mina says.

Serena quickly goes into the bathroom and gets two towels to cover up Luna and
Artemis's naked bodies. Artemis yells when he sees himself in the mirror but Luna stops
him.

"What has happened to us?" Artemis asks.

"We're human." Luna responds.

"Ugh. These human bodies suck. It hurts to walk on all fours. Our entire skin is exposed.
I can't even see in the dark very well." Artemis says.

"Welcome to our world." Mina says.

"It's still early in the morning. Let's go back to sleep and deal with this more in the
morning.

They all nod and go back to their bedrooms. The two former cats curl up and sleep on the
floor. The next morning Artemis wakes up and still finds him as a human.

"Darn it. I thought maybe it was just a dream." Artemis says.

Luna wakes up and stretches her body. Out of habit she starts cleaning herself with her
tongue.

"Ugh. This isn't the same. Their tongues aren't as rough as cats." Luna says.

The others come in the room. They all help clothe Luna and Artemis with the host
families clothing since they are similar sizes. Then they start to help teach them how to
walk on two feet.

"This is extremely unwieldy." Luna complains.

"Hey everybody must go through this. Although most of them do it when they are a
baby." Mina smiles.

Luna reaches to feel her tail and yelps when she feels she doesn't have one.

"How will I keep my balance without a tail?" Luna asks.

"I think you will manage." Mina responds smiling.

John and his wife look at the two.

"This is weird. But not the strangest thing that has happened since you girls have come to
live with us." John says.

After a few hours Luna and Artemis can shakily walk. They decide to go out and enjoy
the sunshine.

"It's so much cooler without a fur coat." Artemis says.

Luna stumbles and Artemis steadies her. When she stands up their eyes lock. Their faces
and lips come close but pull away suddenly.

"We can't. I admit that I have feelings for you. But we have a mission to fulfil." Luna
says.

Artemis grabs Luna's hands and holds tightly.

"Luna. I love you." Artemis says.

He kisses her fast before she can stop him. But he finds that she is kissing back. After a
half a minute they break apart smiling.

"So that's what it's like." Luna says.

Meanwhile one of the male humanoids is watching.

"I sense great power in that one. Go and take that host to please the queen." The man
says.

He lets out a creature and it crawls over to Luna. Artemis is running his hand through
Luna's hair and smiling. He frowns when he sees the creature crawling up her head.

"No!" Artemis yells.

He swipes the creature from her head. It latches onto his hand and quickly zips up and
into his head.

"No! Artemis." Luna yells.

Artemis's eyes start glowing and he shoves Luna back. His nails grow into claws.

"Artemis fight it." Luna yells.

Artemis jumps on top of Luna and scratches her badly with his claws, leaving a big
bleeding wound in her chest. He then takes off.

"Artemis." Luna says weakly then goes limp.
