29. Rogue Clone

The bell ringed at Royal Woods High and Leni is at her locker taking her back pack out.

"Ok so I have algebra homework, english and history." Leni listed. "Shouldn't be to hard."

"Hey Leni." Leni turned around and sees a 16 year old boy with fair skin, short blonde hair, green t shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers walking towards her with a back pack on his back."

"Oh hey Kody." said Leni.

"I was wondering if you want to do something tonight?" Kody asked. "Maybe see a movie."

"Sure. I just have homework to do first." Leni tells him.

"Cool. See you tonight." Kody says. He kisses her on the cheek and walks away.

"Ok first homework and then movie date with Kody." said Leni.

"Leni!" Leni turns and sees her home ed teacher coming up to her.

"Hi Mr. Smith." Leni greets.

"Hello Leni. I just want to say that your dress that you presented was so perfect that i want you to make another one for tomorrow's fashion show." Smith tells her.

"Tomorrow?" Leni asked.

"Yes. I know it's short notice but can you?" Smith asks.

"You can count on me." said Leni.

"Great, I knew I can count on you." said Mr. Smith.

After Mr. Smith leaves Leni let's out a sigh. "Homework, a date with Kody and i have to make a dress." She groaned. "This will be fun." She finishes grabbing her stuff and heads outside where she sees Luna and Lori already in Vanzilla. "Hey guys."

"Sup sis." Luna greets.

"Hey." Lori greeted. "Oh Leni don't forget it's your turn for patrol today."

"It is? I thought my turn was tomorrow? That's what you said." Leni asked confused.

"Leni, we told you this yesterday." Lori informs her. "Tomorrow is today."

"Oh I see." said Leni.

"I can't cover for you Leni." Luna said. "Date with Sam tonight."

"I can't either. I promised Lincoln I would help him with a school project." Lori says.

"No it's fine." Leni sighs.

Leni sat on her bed with arms crossed, looking at the items in front of her which was her homework, a picture of Kody, her dress fabric and her hero watch.

"Let's see if I make my dress I would miss my date with Kody and miss out on homework and not go on patrol." Leni said. "I can't ask Lisa for help for my homework because she knows I have to go on patrol. If I go on patrol, I can't do my homework, can't make the dress or go so Kody. I wish there was more of me." She sighed.

"I know right." Leni turns and sees one of her duplicates. "Shame your not Multiple Girl."

"I know. That would be so useful." Leni agrees. She them realizes something. "Wait. I am Multiple Girl!"

"Oh my gosh you are her!" One of her clones said.

"I can have my date with Kody and my clones can do all the work." said Leni. Leni clones herself into two.

"Hi!" The clones say in unison.

"Hi." Clone one greets.

"Ok ladies line up!" Leni orders. The three clones line up shoulder to shoulder. "Ok, so I, like, have a lot to do and you three are going to help me." She points to clone one. "You work on my homework."

"Ok." Clone one says.

Leni then points to clone two. "You work on that dress for the fashion show." She orders.

"Fun!" Clone two cheers.

Leni then turns to the final clone. "And you will do patrol." She finishes.

"I totes got this." Clone three assures her.

"I'll go on my date with Kody!" Leni said.

"Good luck." Clone 1 said.

"Thanks me!" Leni said.

"Your welcome." Clone one says. "But how are you and Leni four gonna sneak out?"

"Simple we both leave at the same time." Leni answers.

"That's genius!" Leni three says.

"It will totes work." Leni four adds.

"This plan can't possibly go wrong." Leni two agrees.

"Because we came up with it." Leni says proudly.

"Totes!" The four Leni clones replied,

"We should be called the girls with the plan." Leni two said.

"Isn't that Linky's title?" Leni three asked.

"Yeah but our plan is so good the title should be ours." Leni answered.

In Lincoln's room, Lori and Lincoln are working on Lincoln's history project when he suddenly looks up.

"Everything ok?" Lori asked.

"Yeah. I think I just felt a disturbance in the universe." Lincoln answered. "I think someone just stole my title."

Leni and Leni four snuck out of their room making sure they weren't seen. They head downstairs and look in the living room where they see Rita with Lily.

Leni gives Leni four the slush signal and try the back door, but only to see Luan looking through the fridge. Leni four look for another escape plan. Leni points to the door, but Leni four shook her head at Leni's idea.

"Ok I have an idea." Leni whispers. "I'll distract Luan while you sneak out the back."

"Good plan." Leni four comments. "We are on a roll today."

Leni walks up to Luan. "Hey Luan." said Leni.

"Oh hey Leni. What's up?" Luan asked.

"Well can you tell me some monster jokes?" Leni asked.

"Really Lucy said if I make fun of the classic monsters she'll place a curse on me." Luan said.

"What really?" Leni asked terrified.

"Yeah, but as much as I would like talk I have a party to go to." Luan tells her. "See ya." She then heads out the back door. After she's gone, Leni four comes out from her hiding spot.

"Let's get out of here and quick!" Leni four said.

Leni and Leni four bothers exit the door and they see Lucy digging a grave, Leni four hides behind a tree. "Hey Leni can't talk I'm practicing grave digging." Lucy said,

"Oh um yeah." Leni says nervously. "Sorry for disturbing you. Hey um, i think you forgot to feed Fangs."

"Gasp! I completely forgot. Thanks Leni." Lucy says before running off.

"Good thinking." Leni four says.

"Thanks." Leni says. The two run out front where they see Charles talking to Spike, Cassy and Lalo.

"So yeah I think that we do need to start writing letters to the President." Charles was saying.

"What do you think we should say to him?" Spike asked.

"We can use Jay's laptop to write." Charles said.

"Ok. Does anyone here know how to use a laptop?" Cassy asked.

"Good question, señora." Lalo says. "From what I've seen, humans use their fingers to type." The four dogs look at their paws and see that they don't have fingers.

"Dang it." The four dogs cursed. Meanwhile, Leni and Leni four are watching the whole scene with confused expressions.

"What do you think they're saying?" Leni asked.

"I don't know." Leni four responds. "But how are we gonna sneak past them?"

Leni thinks about and gets an idea. She grabs a bone and throws it towards the dogs. "Whoa a bone!" Spike shouted.

"Dibs!" the four dogs shouted.

"Ladies first!" Cassy said.

"You're no lady." Charles said.

"That bone belongs to me!" Lalo exclaimed.

"In your dreams fatty!" Spike shouted.

"That was smart." Leni four comments.

"Thanks." Leni says. The two then try to sneak down the driveway.

"Hold it!" A voice cried behind them. The two turn to see a scuffed up Charles, Lalo, Spike and Cassy. "Leni, what's going on?"

"Nothing Charles." Leni answers nervously.

"Really? Because it looks like you and a duplicate are trying to sneak out." Charles says.

"That's none of your business." said Leni four.

"Kinda is." Charles fires back. "Leni, you're taking a big risk here. What if someone sees you?"

"Don't worry Charles." Leni assures him. "I only made three clones."

"Three? Seems a bit risky Leni. Especially since you're leaving two here." Charles points out. Spike barks something. "I agree. This could go wrong." Cassy then bark something. "Good question. Leni, what's the longest amount of time you've had your duplicates out?"

Leni and Leni four both shrugged. "I don't keep track." said Leni.

Lalo barked and Charles nodded. "I'm with Lalo on this on Maybe you should know your own limit." said Charles.

"Charles, we're only gonna be separated for a couple hours." Leni says. "Everything is gonna be fine."

"Like yeah, just eat your bone and let us enjoy our night." said Leni four.

The two walk away and Charles turns to the other dogs. "I don't like where this is going." He tells them.

"Charles, you got to tell Lisa or anyone about Leni's clones." Spike said.

"I will. But I'm worried about what will happen to her." Charles said. "Lori tried to go over her limits before."

"That didn't end well right?" Cassy asked.

"No it didn't." Charles answered. "Sure she got faster but she passed out while chasing after Johnny Speed."

"This could possibly be worse amigo." Lalo growled. "Even if you don't tell your owners, at least tell the other pets."

"Yeah. Good idea." Charles agreed.

When Leni got home she saw that Leni two and Leni three were in her room waiting for her.

"How did everything go?" Leni asked.

"Your homework is all done." said Leni three.

"And the dress is finished." Leni two reported while holding the dress up.

"Good job me." Leni complimented. "Now we just need me four to come back."

"Can't take too long." Leni two said.

"Totes right." Leni three replied.

"Your right." Leni sighed. She then feels a little dizzy. "Ugh, my head."

"You ok?" Leni two asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why don't guys join back with me." Leni suggested.

"Ok." The Leni clones answered in unison.

Leni two and three all merged with Leni making her whole again. "Much better." Leni said.

A few minutes later, Leni four walks into the room. "I'm back. Patrol was totes fun." Leni four announces.

"That's great me. Let's quickly merge before someone sees us." Leni says.

"Ok. So what are we doing tomorrow?" Leni four asked.

"Lori is taking all of us to the mall." Leni says. "I also have another date with Kody."

"That's totes good." said Leni four.

"Now let's merge back and quick." said Leni.

"Um, do I have to?" Leni four asked.

"Um you kinda do." Leni answered. "I kinda think it would be bad if you're out too long."

"Did anything bad happened to you on your date?" Leni four asked.

"No." Leni replied.

"Good nothing bad happened to you or me." Leni four smiled.

"I guess. Just merge back with me." Leni ordered.

"Ok." Leni four sighed. "Just turn around and we'll merge back."

Leni turns around. "Ready when you are?" Leni said.

"Oh I'm ready." said Leni four.

Leni then feels a sudden impact to the back of her head. She looks up and sees Leni four holding one of her dress manicins before she blacked out.

When Leni came to, she discovered that she was sitting in her closet. She tried to move but discovered that her arms and legs were tied.

"What happened?" Leni whispered.

All she can remember is wanting to merge back with Leni four and then she was knocked out with a dress manicin. Then she just realized something, she was knocked out by her clone.

"I have to get out of here." Leni whispered. She then heard the door open and saw her clone standing in front of her. "Hi me. I think there was a misunderstanding. You were supposed to merge with me. Not knock me out and tie me up."

"Really? But that's what i wanted to do." Leni four replied. "I wanted to be you. The real you. You have a boyfriend and your a hero. So I'm taking over."

"You can't do that!" Leni shouted.

"Yes I can. I just did." Leni four tells her. "Now if you excuse me, i have to go to the mall with MY siblings." She reaches over and grabs a roll of duct tape from the night stand. She then rips a piece off and places it across Leni's mouth. "Bye." She then shuts the door locking it.

Leni muttered in distress and a tear drops.

"You ready Leni?!" Lori asked.

"Totes ready." Leni four said.

The eleven siblings leave. After they are gone, the pets come out if their hiding place.

"Charles are you sure that Leni isn't feeling alright?" Fangs asked. "She looks fine to me."

"Guys I'm telling you, when Leni got home last night she looked pale." Charles insisted.

"You sure?" Cliff asked.

"Yes!" Charles exclaimed.

"Ok. What's the plan?" Geo asked.

"We search Leni's room." Charles answered.

The pets all enter's Leni's room and looks around. "So far I found a picture of Kody." Hops said.

"I thought Lori is crazy for Bobby?" Fangs rolled his eyes.

"I found Leni's homework." Walt reports. "She spelled her name wrong. Again."

"As usual." Cliff nods.

"Hey didn't Leni made this dress already?" Geo asked.

The pets gather around the dress and realize that it was made recently.

"Yeah. I think Leni was asked to make another." Cliff answered. The pets look around and try to find more evidence but no luck.

"This is weird." Charles says. He then hears a noise coming from the closet. "Intruder! There's an intruder! Intruder!"

"Charles calm down. I doubt there's an intruder." Fangs assures him. "But there is someone in there though." The pets then stack themselves on top if each other and try to open the door with no luck.

"Damn. Locked." Hops muttered.

"Use Walt to pick the lock." Cliff suggested.

"And hurry! I don't know how much longer Geo's ball can hold out." Charles informed them.

Walt used his beak to pick the lock while the pets struggled to keep their valence. Walt managed to hear a click and then they all fell to the ground.

"We're ok!" The pets say in unison. The door then opens to reveal a bound and gagged Leni. "LENI!" The pets immediately rush to her side where Walt gently peels off the tape from her mouth.

"Are you ok Leni?" Geo asked.

"I think so." Leni answers weakly. "Just a little dizzy."

"Don't worry. We'll get you out." Charles assures her. "Cliff and Geo, you know what to do."

Geo and Cliff nodded and started to cut the rope with either claws or teeth. "What append and who did this?" Fangs asked.

"My Clone did it!" Leni said,

"I warned you this would happen." Charles growled.

"I'm sorry." Leni says. After Cliff and Geo finish untyinh her, she tries to stand only to stumble.

"You don't look so good." Walt comments. He puts his foot on Leni's wrist and gasps. "Guys, Leni's pulse is weak!"

"I was afraid if this." Charles sighs. "I looked at Lisa's notes and i discovered that everyone has a weakness when it comes to their powers. In Leni's case, her clones use the original's energy to maintain themselves. The longer they're out, the weaker the original gets."

"We have to warn the others." said Cliff.

"I know but they are all at the mall." Geo reminds them. "Plus we have no ride."

"Don't worry. First we borrow Lola's princess car and drive to the dealership. There we borrow a car and head to the mall." Charles tells them.

"But what about Leni?" Fangs asks.

"We'll bring her with us." Hops answers.

"Alright let's go!" Charles shouted.

The pets and Leni drove Lola's to the dealership. When they arrived Leni stumbled out of the car but was steadied by Walt and Fangs. They peeked out of their hiding spot looking over the lot.

"Ok we need a car." Cliff says. "But first we need keys." He turns to Fangs. "Your with Lucy alot, you should be able to pull off her disappearing trick right?"

"I should be able to." Fangs answers before flying off. He heads into the building and then into a office. He searches the desk until he finds a bunch of keys. "Any one of these will work." He reaches in and pulls out a set of keys. "These will work." He then flies out of the building.

At the mall, Leni four is looking through the clothes. "Some of these are good but I need something Great to impress my new boyfriend." said Leni four. "Oh this is cute."

"You almost done Leni?" Luna asked.

"Yeah almost done." Leni four shouts. She walks out from behind the rack with several dresses. "I'm gonna try these on before i see Kody."

"Whatever dude." Luna said. "You alright sis? You've been acting weird."

"I'm fine Luna. Never been better." Leni four answers.

At the car dealership, the pets gathered around the keys that Fangs bought with curiosity.

"What car is it for?" Cliff asked.

"No idea. Let's press a button and see what vehicle reacts." Fangs suggests. He presses the unlock button and they hear a car unlock. They turn to the vehicle that was unlocked and their jaws dropped.

"A monster truck." Cliff gasped. "Why is a car dealership selling a monster truck?"

"Who cares lets go!" Charles answered. They quckly toss Lola's car into the back and then help Leni climb up.

The pets all get in the driver seat as Charles placed his paws on the wheel. "Ok everyone just like Vanzilla!" Charles shouted. "Hops, Cliff, pedals!"

"Yes sir!" Cliff said.

"Walt, you're my eyes." said Charles.

"On it!" said Walt.

"I got the Gear shift!" Geo shouted.

"Fangs, music!" Charles demanded.

"Would you be against Western music?" Fangs asked.

"Nope. It fits the situation." Charles answered.

"Did anyone buckle in Leni?" Hops asked.

"Dang it!" Charles groaned. "Make it quick!"

Fangs flies over and quickly buckles up Leni. "Safety first." He says while buckling her up.

"Let's roll!" Charles said. Geo put the gear shift into drive and Cliff pushed down on the gas and drive off to the mall.

As they drove through the city, the pets let out yowls of delight over every thing that happened. Charles let out a howl while shaking his paw in the air.

"This is awesome!" Hops exclaims. "Cliff go faster!"

"Hell yeah!" Cliff agreed while pushing the gas harder causing them to go faster.

"This is awesome!" Charles howled.

"Ugh!" Leni groaned.

"You alright?" Walt asked.

"I don't feel so good." Leni replied weakly.

"Guys we're running out of time." Geo says. "We need to get to the mall now."

"Right." Walt agreed. "Charles take a left and that should lead us to the mall."

Charles nodded and turned left. "I'm not letting my master die on my paws!" Charles said.

"Or mine!" Cliff adds pushing harder on the gas. "She will live!"

"I see the mall!" Walt reported.

"Good eye Tweety!" Charles reported.

"See if you can find a good parking spot!" Geo told him.

"On it." Walt replied. He scans the parking lot and sees a space open near the entrance of the mall. "Found one!"

"Where?" Charles asked.

"Left side, near the entrance of the mall!" Walt shouted.

Charles turned left and parked the monster truck in the parking spot. "Oh yeah." Charles said.

They all jump out with Leni following them. As soon as she's out they run into the mall where Leni stumbles.

"Guys, i don't think she can go any further." Hops tells them.

"Yeah. Leni's too weak." Walt agrees. He looks around and sees a bench. "Let's try to get Leni to that bench."

"Good idea!" Charles said.

The pets all get together and struggle to get Leni to the bench. "Are we at the mall yet?" Leni asked.

"Yes Leni. We're here." Cliff answers. "Guys this is bad."

"Yeah. We don't have much time." Charles agreed. "You guys find one of the kids. I'll stay with Leni and act like a service dog."

The pets nodded and head straight to the mall. Fangs hits the button and the automatic door opens up. "Stay with me Leni." said Charles.

"I'll stay here Charles." Leni said and coughed.

The pets maneuver around the people trying to find any sign of their masters.

"This is getting us nowhere." Cliff groaned. "Walt, fly up and see if you see anyone." Walt nods and flies up. Once he's high enough he scans the floor for one of his masters. He doesn't see anyone until he sees Luan walking out of the party store. "Bingo." He flies back down to the other pets. "I found Luan coming out of the party store!"

"Good work!" Cliff said and ran towards the party store and the others followed.

"I got some good deals for party supplies." said Luan.

"Luan!" Cliff exclaimed

Luan looks towards and her eyes widen when she sees Cliff, Geo, Hops, Walt and Fangs coming towards her.

"What are you guys doing here?" Luan asked leaning down. "You know your not supposed to be here."

"We know but this is urgent." Hops tells her. "Leni made a few clones to help her with her to do list but one went rogue and locked her in a closet. We saved her but Leni's clone has been out for too long and Leni is slowly dying!"

"She's dying?!" Luan exclaimed,

"Yeah and we need to her clone and fast!" Fangs said.

"Ok. If i remember correctly, Luna took Leni or the clone of Leni to the clothes store so that Luna can get something to wear for her date with Sam tonight." Luan tells them. "But they probably left already."

"What else was she gonna do?" Geo asked.

Luan thinks about it for a few seconds then it comes to her. "She was gonna meet up with Kody at the food court!" Luan screams.

"She's going to steal Kody and Leni's life!" Cliff said.

"Leni is on the bench near the entrance and Charles is acting like a service dog." said Geo.

"Ok, you guys go back to Leni." Luan orders.

"What are you gonna do?" Fangs asks.

"I'm gonna deal with the clone." Luan answers.

Kody and Leni four are at the food court sitting at a table. "So how was your day?" Kody asked.

"Well I've been thinking of you." said Leni four.

"That's sweet, Leni." said Kody.

Not far away, Luan peers around the food court entrance and sees the clone with Kody, causing her to scowl.

"Ok you faker. Time to take you down." Luan mutters. She then enters the food court and approaches Leni four. "Hey Leni, Lori told me to come get you. She tried calling but you didn't answer."

"I didn't hear my phone ring." Leni four replied with a confused tone. "What's going on?"

"There's a family emergency and we need to go now!" Luan tells her.

"What's the emergency?" Leni four asked.

"No time let's go!" Luan said.

"It sounds serious. We can go out another day?" Kody suggested.

"Ok. Bye Kody." Leni four says.

"Later." Kody says back. Luan then grabs Leni four by the arm and drags her out of the food court.

"Hey take it easy sis!" Leni four replied.

"Don't you sis me!" Luan shouts. "I know your secret. I know that you are just one of Leni's duplicates."

"What?!" Leni four exclaimed. "That's crazy!"

"The pets told me everything and not only that Leni is here also!" Luan informs her. "She's also dying because you have been out too long!"

"She's dying?" Leni four asked.

"Yes!" Luan exclaimed,

"I didn't know that would happen if I was out for so long." Leni four said sadly.

"Well you are going to merge back with Leni right now!" Luan scowled.

"Ok." Leni four sighs. Luan leads Leni four to the original where they see her lying on the bench with the pets sitting around her.

"How is she?" Luan asks.

"Not good." Charles answers. "She's fading fast and getting weaker by the second." He looks up and sees Leni four causing him to growl. "This is on you."

"I know. The reason why I did this is because I was jealous." said Leni four.

"But what you did was wrong and it is currently killing Leni!" Cliff growls.

"I know, that kitty cat. I'll go back into Leni now." said Leni four. "I'm sorry for all of this."

Leni four approached Leni and placed a hand on her, merging the two back into one. A few seconds later Leni wakes up with a groan.

"Ugh what happened?" Leni asked. "Where's my clone?"

"Your clone is gone." Geo answered. "She returned to your body."

"Thank goodness." said Leni.

"Leni, you know I'm gonna have to tell Lori and Luna about this right?" Luan informs her.

"You can't tell them about this!" Leni exclaimed.

"I have to you almost died!" Luan replies.

Leni is about to retort when sees tears start to come out of Luan's eyes. "Luan?"

"I thought I was going to lose you like I thought we were going to lose Linc." Luan says. "Do you think I wanted to hear that you were dying!?"

"Not really?" Leni sighed. "I'll tell them, it's my mess and I need to take my punishment like a grown up."

Leni sat on the couch at the base with her hands folded on her lap and head down with Lori and Luna standing in front of her. She had just finished telling the two the whole story involving her duplicates. As she waited for them to say something she heard everyone else outside having fun with the monster truck the pets stole.

"Leni, what were you thinking you could of gotten yourself killed?!" Lori shouted.

"I'm sorry." Leni tells them not looking them in the eye. "I waa just trying to get all my stuff done."

"Why didn't you tell us you had so much to do?" Luna asked.

"Because you guys were busy with a date or helping our other siblings with their homework." Leni confessed. "I didn't want to interrupt you guys.

Lori and Luna exchange a glance and their gazes soften.

"Leni, you could've told us. Your just as important as anyone else." Lori tells her.

"Yeah. We could've had Lynn or Lana do your patrol and you could've done patrol tomorrow." Luna adds. "I get it's tough balancing your personal life and your hero life but that's why we're all doing it together."

"It's easy for you guys Sam and Bobby know about us being the L-crew. But Kody doesn't." said Leni.

"I know it's tough Leni, but it will get easier." Lori tells her. "You just gotta be patient and when the time comes, you have my permission to tell Kody everything. But until that day comes, we'll help you through this."

"You really mean it?" Leni asked.

"Of course I do." said Lori.

"Thanks." Leni says with a smile.

"However, do to your recklessness we are gonna have to punish you." Lori told her. "So i have decided to give you the same punishment i gave Lynn for fighting Squatch on her own. I'm suspending you of your hero duties for two days. It would be longer but i think nearly dying is punishment enough. Wouldn't you agree Luna?"

"Couldn't argee more Lori." said Luna. "But let's throw in no powers for two days too."

"Sounds good to me." Lori agreed.

"Sounds fair." Leni sighs. "Can i still come to the base?"

"I don't see why not." Luna answers.

"Yes you can." Lori nodded

"Yay!" Leni cheers. "But i really am sorry. I'll be more careful next time."

"You better be Leni." said Lori.

"We're just happy your ok." Luna says. She and Lori then sit on either side of Leni and put their arms around her.

"I love you guys." Leni tells them.

"We love you to." Lori says.

Hey Guys Smoke here, one of the co-authors of this story. Now we know what you're all thinking where's the evil teddy bear? Well me and Zachlor16 were suppose to do the evil teddy bear chapter. But the choater will be put on hold due to the fact we can't find a name for the evil Teddy bear. So until further notice the evil Teddy bear will have to wait.
