2 years earlier.

He had been awoken by a loud noise, like something had fell. Walking over to Lorelai’s door he saw her packing a bag. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I need a little space. It’s getting too crowded here.”
Sheena looked around. Well it had been a little hectic since Warren and Taggert had moved in. “We could always kick Meg out!”
“Shush. Before you wake her up. This isn’t about anyone but me.”
“But you are always welcome here. I didn’t do anything did I?”
Lorelai looked down at Sheena. “I said it was about me. Just leave it at that.”
“If you leave, I’ll just follow you. Give me time to pack.”
“I’m moving in with Varkas and Sydonia and Quincy.”
“Oh.” So that’s how it was. Sheena turned around and walked out the door, pausing momentarily and looking over his shoulder. “Don’t be a stranger.”
“Of course.”

Present day.

What was that about, anyway? He still hadn’t figured it out. Lorelai obviously didn’t care too much for Varkas and Sydonia, and her interest in Quincy had seemed strictly professional. Maybe she just couldn’t restrain herself any longer. Yeah right. It was probably Meg’s fault. Meg. Sheena shuddered slightly. Running his fingers through his hair, he remembered the time Meg had switched his bottle of shampoo with a bottle of glue. His hair still hadn’t recovered. But the ladies seemed to like his new hair cut. So maybe Meg wasn’t all bad. After all, Mina was crazy about his hair.
Of course it was partially Mina’s fault he was in Jowston anyway. But she sure was fun to be around. He still remembered the time he had Mina give Coates a “dance”. If he had known that Mina was another of the stars, he probably would have stroked. Sheena laughed to himself. Wonder how Coates is doing anyway? He hadn’t seen him since “the incident”.
The incident. That sounded so ominous. So what if him and Mina had decided to have a little fun? Sheena was 18, Mina was 16, and there was nothing wrong with that. He still couldn’t believe Giovanni could scream like that. You’d have thought the old geezer had been struck blind. I mean, so what that Sheena had snuck Mina into Gregminster palace? Ok so he had snuck her into the Gregminster palace private bath. It wasn’t like Mina and Sheena had been completely undressed. They were both still wearing shorts!
Poor Mina. Probably eating her heart out right now. Boy did Lepant overreact on that one. You’d have thought they’d started a political crisis or something. Lepant just kept going on and on about duty and honor. Then Lepant cooked up this crazy journey idea. “I want you to travel the land and learn how to be a real man.” What a crock. Oh well, at least he could pick up some pointers from the Matilda knights. They seemed to get all the women. Maybe he could get knighted him self. Of course he’d have to hide the fact of who he was. But mom would approve. And Dad? Who cared what he thought?
Sheena looked over his mental itinerary.
1. Travel to Matilda.
2. Become a knight. (Probably red. He looked better in red.)
3. Score.
4. Travel to Harmonia.
5. Meet Whitney Lance backstage at her concert.
6. Score with Whitney.
Time limit: One month. Ok scratch 2. And probably 3 since 2 wasn’t going to happen. But of course, Whitney couldn’t resist his charm. After all, we know how those music stars dig royalty. Sheena smiled.
Now that’s my kinda pl_ “OUCH!”
Sheena rubbed the side of his head. “What was that?” The blonde boy looked down to see a squirrel in a gray cape and mask, brandishing a huge acorn. He felt another hit him in the back. Sheena spun around to see another squirrel in a hot pink cape and mask. “Oh what the…” Feeling more acorns hit him from the back he spun around again. Great. Where did these three come from? He saw three more squirrels, in white, yellow, and turqouise?!?! And why were these squirrels dressed like luchadors? Sheena drew Kirinji from its sheath. “OK. You five quit it, and I wont make squirrel burgers out of you.”
The white clad squirrel simply leapt at Sheena’s ankles and grabbed them. Before he could react, the yellow one had jumped, and with a 360 motion, kicked him in the head repeatedly. As soon as he kicks had stopped, a bright white blur passed in front of his face as he felt a furry uppercut slam into his jaw. The impact sent Sheena tripping over the pink squirrel behind him. Just as he was about to get back to his feet, he saw the sun being blocked by two squirrel bodies.
The first squirrel landed chest first on his stomach. The second squirrel landed feet first in a more tender location.
Sheena rolled over. “Boy if dad could see me now…” He quickly leapt to his feet, and then kicked the two squirrels away. The two squirrels rolled with the blow and landed beside their comrades.

“Mu’ k muu mukuk muk mu!” The yellow squirrel spoke.
(He’s too strong for us!)
“Mu. Muku mu muk mumu muk mukuku muku.” The white squirrel replied.
(Yes. Now we must summon the target lady.)
“Mu! Mu muk’k mukumuk MUK!” The gray one said.
(No! We can’t summon HER!)
“Mu muku. Muk muk mukumu mukmuk.” The white one said.
(We must. Let our powers combine.)

The pack of squirrels began to chant. “Mukuuuuuuu!!!!!”

“Now what?” Sheena dashed at the group of squirrels only to see a dark skinned girl clad in blue jeans and a ripped white top appear in front of him.
“YOU! You hurt my little squirrel friends!”
Oh crap. A target lady. He always seemed to get distracted when fighting these.
POW!
Sheena went flying from the blow. He could just hear his dad now. “You should watch her hands Sheena, not her…” The impact of the ground stopped the thought short. Sheena struggled back to his feet. Ok. This was getting embarassing.
The target lady leapt at Sheena, but this time he was prepared. He swung Kirinji wide and smacked the girl with the flat of it’s blade. The target girl hit the ground and vanished.
The pink squirrel spoke. “MU KU!!! Mu muku muk mukuku muku!”
(OH NO! He beat the target lady!)
The gray squirrel turned and ran quickly. “MUK! MUK MUK MUKU MUKUS!”
(RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!)
The other squirrels quickly followed suit. “Mu’k mukukuk muku muk mukuk muk. MUK!”
(He’s stronger than the black one. RUN!)
