Beware the Future

By Cassie Buttelman



Chapter 1



"What is this is guy made of? Steel?" Cassie asked the Warners as an evil man with a gun was chasing them.

" I still don't understand how he can live when I threw that satellite at him!" Wakko said annoyed.

" Where did you even find that?" Cassie asked him with a weird face.

" Up there!" Wakko pointed up to the sky.

Cassie rolled her eyes. " I shoulda known…"

They kept running and the seemingly indestructible man was following them.

"This is insane! This guy must be a robot!" Cassie murmured.

" Yeah and it liked you a lot Cass!" Yakko commented.

" Yeah I know……and that's the third this month!" Cassie's voice sounded agitated.

Cassie suddenly got an idea and stopped running. She turned and faced the evil menace.

"Say bye bye!" Cassie yelled. The man stopped and looked at her with a puzzled face. She grinned evilly then pulled out her crystal and concentrated. Suddenly a flash of light erupted from the pink crystal and hit the man turning him into dust.

"Buffy Summers eat your heart out…." Cassie said as she blew her crystal to cool it. The warners looked on at her with open mouths. Cassie turned and looked at them.

"What?"







"Number 4 was destroyed sir." A man in a dark blue uniform said to the man who sat drumming his hands on his desk. The room was dark and there were many old covered books sprawled around the room. The man at the desk wore a dark suit with a metallic silver tie.

" Such a shame." The other man said sighing. He stood up and walked around. His face is covered with a dark mask.

" What should we do know sir?" The man in the dark blue uniform said.

" Send another…….."

"But, sir.."

"Send another!"

"Yes sir…" The man in the dark blue uniform walked out.

The man wearing the dark suit sighed and sat down. " This girl needs to be stopped…but how?"



"Oh c'mon you guys! Its not like I was trying to kill myself!" Cassie huffed as she paced around the room. Yakko was nearby and Wakko and Dot were sitting on the sofa watching.

" Hey remember before when you fainted like that? That was not good!" Yakko shot back, equally as mad.

" Ohhhhh Yakko you sometimes make me so mad!" Cassie stormed.

" Oh its equal! Your so stubborn!" Yakko yelled.

"Well at least I'm not the only one!" Cassie retorted and ran off into her room slamming the door behind her.

Yakko sighed an angry sigh. "Yeah well! Your too stubborn!" he yelled.

Cassie was in her room angry at how Yakko had treated her. " Ohhhh!!! He's so!!! GRRR!!!" She threw a pillow across the room.

Finally when she had calmed down she sighed. " I shouldn't be so hard on him….he only wants to look out for me." She stood up and sighed. " I'd better go apologize." She walked to the door to her room and opened it. Then she crept around until she heard some shouting. She slowly and silently walked over and hid near the door. But even from there she could hear the words clearly.

" OHH SHES SO STUBBORN!" Yakko's voice was angry.

"Yakko you must not blame her." Dot said.

" Yeah Yakko!" Wakko agreed.

" But….ohhh Grrrr….she can be so difficult especially when we try to help! She's nearly gotten herself killed!"

"Yakko that isn't her fault. How was she supposed to know? I mean jeez it isn't like she has a sixth sense or something!" Dot said matter-of- factly.

As Cassie continued to listen she heard Yakkos voice grow more angry. And that's when he said it….

" Its just! She's…….OH THINGS WERE A LOT EASIER BEFORE SHE CAME!"

Cassie's eyes widened and water filled them up. Her eyes quivered.

" Yakko! Suppose she heard you!" Dot said alarmed. Cassie had heard enough. She turned around and started running.

She ran out of the tower and into the night…….



The man walked past a girl with pink hair and the look of pure pain on her face. He suddenly realized who that was. He turned and saw her run past him and out of the lot.



Cassie couldn't stop. She wished she wasn't here, she wished she never came. But eventually she tripped and landed hard on her stomach. It hurt so much and she started to sob a little. Yakko was right. Everything was fine with them until I came along. She thought sadly.

She started to get up when a hand shot out in front of her face. She looked up and saw a skinny pale man. With a gentle smile and a kind face. He wore glasses that were shining in the moonlight. Cassie put her hand in his and he helped her to her feet.

" I saw you running, are you okay miss?" He asked with a calm and deep voice.

" I….I…..guess…." Cassie stuttered, unsure of what to tell the man.

He looked at her with concern. " are you sure Miss? You look pretty depressed."

"I….I am fine, I just had a argument with one of my friends." She sighed and sat down.

" Oh…." The man answered sitting next to her. " Oh pardon my manners, my name is Simon."

" My name is Cassie."

" What a pretty name." He smiled. Cassie's cheeks turned a nice shade of pink.

" Now please…tell me." The man coaxed her gently. Cassie seemed resistant, but she looked into his eyes, she couldn't resist.

She told him about the fight.

" I…just…feel that I shouldn't be with them anymore….that I was never with them.." Cassie spoke those words hollowly. She could barely understand her own voice.

The man smiled at her gently. " Don't worry Cassie, but maybe your friend is right." Cassie's head shot up and she looked at him.

" So…you believe him?" Cassie asked, her eyes quivering again.

" Listen dear, your in a tight spot…and your friend was only worried about you. Maybe you should go back to where you belong."

Cassie looked down. She sighed. "Can you help me?"

Since Cassie was staring at the ground, she didn't see the evil grin form on his face…….
