A Whole New World



Chapter One: The Wish.



The morning was cold, wet, and gloomy. The sun wasn't out.not yet. In an average size room there was a bed and on it there was someone under the covers. It was kind of hard to see who was it, for the room was dark. Then a Sailor Moon alarm clock went off, playing the theme song. The person under the covers moved and moaned, reaching out for the Sailor Moon clock to stop the loud playing. When the music was off the person just laid there, not moving. Then about a minute later the person sat up still looking sleepy. The person was a teenage girl and her name was Maricel.

**********

As Maricel was sitting there, she looked at the clock. It was 5:31 a.m. Maricel let out a sigh. Since the new year of school started, she has been waking up so early and it was hard for her to get up. But Maricel was a strong girl and she didn't really mind. Even when she knew her school starts at 7:30 a.m. she wanted an early start. Maricel craw out of the bed and walked to the bathroom to get ready for school.

{ 6:30 a.m. }

Maricel was almost done. She just needed to put on her shoes. Maricel was wearing a black short shirt with white hems at the end of her sleeves and at the end of the neck collar. The shirt showed her whole stomach. The opening of the shirt stopped like 3 inches from her breast. (Wow.. that's short.) She was also wearing a mini skirt just like the ones they wear at a private schools and it had black and red flannel patterns. Maricel wore low cuts white shocks and conformable white shoes and 3 silver strips at the side (Adidas). Maricel got up and walked to her full size mirror. She stands there looking at her reflection. Her hair was all down and she didn't wear any make up. Maricel had a natural beauty; there was no need for it.

"Perfect." Maricel said smiling.

Then she turned around and got her black Jacket to put it on. It fit her very nicely. (I know what your wondering. No she's not gothic. I just think Black is a cool color.) When Maricel walked out of her room she met her father who was almost done getting ready too.

"Morning Papa." She said giving him a morning hug. " Is Mom still sleeping?" Her dad sighed.

"Yep." He said getting his briefcase. Maricel was putting some stuff into her backpack.

"Mom is so lucky cause she starts work at 10."

"Yeah that's true but." He turns around to face his daughter and put out his hand. In his hand was a small white box. Maricel looked at her dad then at the box. " Here its for you." He smiles.

" Really?" He nodded a yes. Maricel took the box and open it. Inside was a beautiful necklace. It was a flower shape with sky blue and white crystals.

"Papa.it's so beautiful!" Maricel gazed at it. Her dad took out the necklace and helped her put it on.

"I got it when I went on the business trip to Japan. There was a small store with amazing stuff. And when I saw that it made me think of my baby girl. So I bought it just for you." He smiled.

"Thank you Papa. I love it!" Maricel said giving her dad a big hug. (What a daddy's girl)

" Your welcome Honey." He hugged her back. When they stopped hugging, Maricel got her sky blue color backpack and put it on. It was one of those bags that you put on across your chest.

"Oh yeah.one more thing Maricel. There's a little story be hide that necklace. The women who I bought it from said that it could grant wishes."

"Oh really.that's so cool." Maricel said as she closed her eyes tight and started wishing for a silver BMW Z3 car. Her father looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Ehhh.honey? You do know that it's just a story.right? The women just told me that so I could buy it." Maricel opened her eyes and looked at her dad.

"Oh.I.Knew.that." Maricel started to blush a little from embarrassment. Her father laughed.

"Sure you did." He laughed. Then Maricel started to laugh too.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot. Papa after school I'm going to go to Lily's place to watch some anime. Ok?

"Alright, but did you asked your Mom?"

"Yeah I did, last night. She said yes. And I got some clothes in my bag just in case if it gets too late, I'll just sleep over there ok?"

"Ok, and NO boys."

"Papa! Her parents are going to be there, so I doubt there's going to be boys. Speaking about boys, when can I start dating Papa?" Maricel asked with puppy eyes. Her dad took a stepped back. He wasn't strong going against his daughter when she shows her puppy eyes. They were too powerful. But he took a deep breath and looked at his daughter seriously.

"Till you're 30." With that he walked passed her and towards the door. Maricel turned around and started chasing after him.

"But Papa I'll be an OLD cow by then." Maricel frown.

"Fine, you can start dating when you're older than me." He said walking out the door.

"Good." Maricel said crossing her arms. Then a minute later she realizes what just happened. (Baka) " HEY WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!" Maricel yelled running out the door to stop her dad.

Maricel was walking to school. Then she heard someone called out her name. It was Lily.

"MARICEL!" Lily yelled out.

"Oh, hey Lily. What's up?" Maricel smiled at her best friend. When Lily finally reached Maricel, she was out of breath.

" Not.*gasp*.Much." Maricel giggled a little. " How about you Maricel?" Lily asked getting her breathing under control. Lily was wearing blue jeans with a black tan top. There was a red jacket that was tied around her waist and her hair was up in a ponytail as some of her bangs fell free at sides of her face.

"Not much either." Maricel smiled. The two girls started walking to school.

"So Maricel are you coming over after school?" Lily asked.

"Yeah. My mom and dad said it's ok. So what anime are we going to watch today?" Maricel wondered.

"Well I don't know." Lily said putting her index finger to her chin and looking up. (She's thinking) " Ummm.what do you want to watch Maricel?" Maricel closed her eyes thinking what she wanted to watch.

" I know! Lets watch your favorite anime. What was it called again?" Maricel asked.

"You mean Escaflowne?"

"Yeah! That one." Maricel smiled.

"Maricel are you sure? The last time we watched that you said it was hella boring." Lily looked at her.

"Yeah I'm sure. It's just that the show was kind of confusing. But then thinking about it. It wasn't really that boring, in fact it was educational." Maricel said looking at Lily.

"What do you mean 'educational'?" Lily asked lifting her right eyebrow.

"Well after watching Escaflowne, I been thinking about learning how to swordfight."

"Huh? Really?" Lily asked her. Maricel nodded a yes to her. " That's SO cool Maricel. I just can't believe that you're good in Martial Arts and Kickboxing. Now you're going for sword fighting. Wow Maricel.I wish I was you." Lily sighed. Maricel looked at her friend. She knew Lily was kind of sad.

"Lily." Maricel turned to face her and put both of her hands on her shoulders. "You know what? I sometimes wish I was you." Maricel smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Remember you have ESP. You have such a great gift. You feel people's emotions and make them do something, that's just so cool." Lily looked down and she started to blush.

"Yeah.I guess so." Lily smiled. "Oh Maricel, you're such a good friend." Maricel nodded and smiled at Lily. Then Maricel's eyes fell to her watch; suddenly her eyes went wide open.

" AHHHHHHH!!! Maricel screamed.

"What is it Maricel?" Lily asked getting an emotion change from her friend. A while ago Maricel was acting normal, but now Lily feels a terrify emotion from her.

"We only have 10 minutes to get to school or we're going to be late." Maricel said looking at Lily.

"WHAT?! We're not even close to school yet!" Lily yelled.

"Well we better start running."

"NO! No more running. I almost died trying to catch up to you." Lily said almost started to cry.

"Well too bad, now lets get going!" said Maricel

"God.Why me?" Lily wined before Maricel took her hand and they both started to run to their school.

Lily's House

"Boy.what a day." Maricel sighed as she lay on Lily's bed. Maricel looked up at Lily. Lily had a band-aid on her nose. Then Maricel started to think back how her best friend got it.

=It happened in P.E. and the sport of the day was basketball. Maricel and Lily were on the same team. When a boy (Joe) from their team got the ball, he was looking for someone to pass it to.

"Joe! Joe! Over here!" Maricel yelled to get Joe's attention and it worked. Joe saw her and threw the ball hard and fast at her. Maricel caught it. Maricel was dribbling the ball and running towards the net but then Francisco was in front of her, blocking her way. Maricel was trying hard not to let this guy take the ball from her. Then she heard someone called out her name.

"Maricel! Maricel! MARICELLLL!!!"

Maricel looked to see how was calling her and it was Lily. She was right under the net and no one was guarding her. Lily was weaving her arms and jumping up and down like a mad person. Maricel just smiled and turned around and threw the ball at her hard and fast.really fast. The ball was way too fast and it end up crashing into Lily's face. Every body gasped.

*GASP!*

When the ball fell, Lily was just standing there and her face was red. Then suddenly Lily fell backwards. *OOOF!*

"LILY!" Maricel ran to her friend to see if she was all right. Maricel kneeled down next to Lily. "Lily, are you ok?" Maricel asked.

"Toooo..faaaassssst." That was the only thing she said before she closed her eyes. Maricel just looked at Lily, she didn't mean to throw the ball that fast.

"Medic!" Maricel yelled out.=

At the end of the flashback Maricel started to laugh. Lily stood there with her arms crossed and eyes closed. She knew why Maricel was laughing.

"Maricel this is all your fault! " Lily yelled at her.

"Hey I didn't mean to throw the ball that hard and I already said I was sorry." Maricel said with puppy eyes (Oh no!). When Lily saw those puppy eyes all her angriness went away.

"It's ok." Lily sighed and went to the bathroom to take off the band- aid. When she came back her face and back to normal.

"So let get started on watching Escaflowne," Lily said as she walked to her DVD anime collection and pulled out the DVDs.

"Cool." Maricel said lying on her stomach getting really to watch the anime. When Lily turned to look at Maricel, she noticed that she was wearing a beautiful necklace.

"Wow Maricel! That's a cool necklace you're wearing." Lily said looking at it. Maricel look down at the necklace and smiled.

"Yeah, Papa gave it to me this morning. He got it from his trip to Japan." Lily lay right next to Maricel looking at the necklace still. " And he said there's a story be hide it too."

"Oh really? Tell me Maricel." Lily asked

"Well Papa said the women who he bought it from said that it grants wishes."

"Wow. That's so cool."

" Yeah I guess. But then Papa said it was just a story that women told him so he could buy it for me." Maricel sighed.

"Oh." Lily said kind of sad cause the story wasn't real. " Well anyways, lets begin." Lily said as she press play on the control. Maricel nodded a yes and turn her attention to the TV.

{8 hours later}

"Wow! that was so cool." Maricel said stretching.

"Yeah. I just can't get enough of watching Allen Schezar." Lily sighed. " He is SO HOT." Maricel laughed.

"Yeah. I guess."

"You know what Maricel?" Lily asked sitting next to Maricel.

"What?"

"I wish that Escaflowne was real." Lily sighed again. " So I can go there just to see Allen and all the other hot guys there." Lily giggled as Maricel did the same thing. "Do you think that's crazy Maricel?" Maricel looked at her and smiles.

"No, cause you know why?" Maricel asked her.

"Why?"

" Cause I also wish that Escaflowne was real too."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Ok, who do you want to see? It better not be Allen." Lily asked as her voice sounded like a threat. Maricel giggled.

"No I don't want to go there to see any hot guys. I just want to go there to learn how to swordfight."

"Oh that understandable." Lily said. "But is that the only reason why you want to go there Maricel?" Maricel looked down and then smiled.

"And to have an adventure." Maricel smiled. Lily looked at her and smiled. " And maybe to see some hot guys over there too.( I knew it!) " Maricel said with a BIG smile. Both girls started to laugh. It lasted like a minute. Then Maricel held her necklace in her right hand.

"I wish I was in Escaflowne right now." Maricel said with her eyes closed. Lily looked at her.

"Me too." Lily said as she closed her eyes too.

Then suddenly Maricel felt her necklace shocked. Maricel looked down at the necklace and then it started to glow with sky blue and white lights.

"What the.?!" Maricel yelled. Lily looked at Maricel and saw what was happening. She started to freak.

"Maricel what the hell is going on?!

"I don't know." Maricel answered, then the light surrounded them.

" AHHHHHH!!!" The two girls screamed. Then Maricel and Lily started to vanish. They were both gone. The room was quiet and cold. It was so lonely. Then the door opens.

"Lily! Maricel! I'm home and I brought pizza." Said Lily's mother looking for the two girls. They were nowhere to be found. Lily's mom walked in slowing and saw that the TV was on but it was all black. Lily's mom just stood there.

"I wonder where are those two?" She asked. Then she walks out of the room to call her husband.
