An Unknown Past Revealed
NOTE: Lexi Bunny is also a main character. They still don't allow 3. And it should really be 11+ not 9+, just in case.
So, this is my next story in the series. I'm intending to make one more after it and call that the end of the series. I'm not going to give away any secrets of how it goes until I've posted it with the summary. Until then, please enjoy part 3 of 4 in the Loonatics Enchanted series (for lack of a better title and please no bad comments!)
Chapter 1: No More Secrets
The tall bunny massaged her ears a little and fixed her long, flowing dress. She had yellow fur and was wearing a white dress with curlicue silver hearts imprinted on the overskirt. She took one last glance in the mirror. At first, she thought that she looked beautiful, but then she was overcome with nervousness.
"Nervous? So am I."
The bunny turned around. She saw 2 girls and a coyote in similar dresses standing on the other side of the room.
"I'm fine, Daniella," said the bunny, looking at the brown haired girl, "I'm just a little…OK, I am nervous. Ace and I have never made such a big step before and now--"
"I know how it feels, Lexi," said the coyote, "Tech and I had both had only one relationship before we met and neither of them were anywhere close to love. Now we're in this big mess and…and…"
"Let me guess, Sophie," said the blonde girl, "Our parents aren't here to support you?" The coyote named Sophie nodded. "Relax, it wasn't your fault."
"Wendy, I could have done something and I didn't!" said Sophie, "How could I have been so foolish?"
"Don't say that," said Daniella, "We're sisters…except for Lexi…triplets, even. Triplet Witches, too. We can accomplish anything. And I know that Tech, Rev, Duck, and Ace feel that way about us, too. And, after today, we won't be boyfriend/girlfriend anymore. We'll be husband and wife."
"You're right," said the bunny named Lexi, "Let's go out there and get this done and then maybe everything will go back to normal." The 3 sisters looked at her. "Well…semi-normal at least. Magic and superpowers are an odd combination that you don't see everyday, but that makes it rare. Just like the love we feel for the guys."
"You're exactly right," said Wendy, "Can we just get this over with so that we won't be so nervous anymore?"
3 hours later…
The 4 girls, another coyote, another bunny, a duck, and a roadrunner came into the room with a Tasmanian devil.
"Boy, am I glad we got that over with," said Wendy, "Now I can finally stop calling Duck my boyfriend."
"Tell me about it," said Sophie, sitting down on the couch next to her new husband, Tech. She smiled at him. He smiled back.
"Hey, do you remember what our parents told us about the Anasala tradition after someone's married?" Daniella asked.
"What did they say?" asked Wendy, "I have a hard time remembering stuff like that."
"They said that it's good luck to promise that there will be no more secrets between the couple," said Daniella, "Of course, if you don't carry out that promise, it's bad luck for a whole 12 years, but still--"
"Yeah, we get it," said Duck.
"Oh really?" asked Wendy, "It's a different wording every time from what I do remember them telling me. I promise you that I will not keep any secrets that will potentially humiliate, embarrass, or upset you in any way."
"Fine," said Sophie, "if you're going to do it that way, I promise Tech not to keep any secrets at all, even if he wouldn't believe me if I told him."
"After finding out I was in love with a Witch," said Tech, "I told myself I would believe anything. I promise the same thing you said." Sophie couldn't help but smile at that.
"And I promise Rev not to lie to him for as long as I live," said Daniella, "and since I'm a Witch, that's a long time."
"Fine-then," said Rev, in his extremely fast talk, "I-promise-you-not-to-lie-or-keep-secrets-or-upset-you-until-your-promise-wears-out-which-will-probably-be-WAY-after-I-die-so-I-probably-wouldn't-be-able-to-keep-it-after-that, but-still…"
"Rev, Rev! REV!" shouted Daniella, stopping him in mid-sentence, "We get it."
"Well, if I have to I go with what he said," said Duck. Wendy giggled.
Ace looked at Lexi. "And I promise you that I will do my best to keep you happy and not keep secrets for as long as we're together."
"And I promise the same thing," said Lexi, grasping his hand tightly.
Slam babbled something.
Lexi giggled. "You got that right, Slam."
"What did he say?" asked Daniella.
"You're telling me that you've spent a whole year with us planning this quadruple wedding and you still don't get Tasmanian?" asked Tech.
"I'm getting closer," said Daniella, pulling out a piece of paper, "So far all I have is that" She imitated Slam's babbling. "means either 'I'm hungry' or 'Give me pizza.'"
"Actually it means 'Feed me, I'm starving,'" said Lexi.
Daniella threw down her list. "Well, back to the drawing board."
"Hey-you-came-close-you-knew-it-had-to-do-with-food-but-then-again-almost-everything-Slam-says-is-related-to-food-in-some-way-you've-just-got-to-get-the-right-meaning-out-and-such-it's-a-long--"
"Wow, Rev," said Daniella, "No matter how much time I spend with you, your rate in words per minute is still a little high for my understanding. You might want to slow it down gradually for just a week."
"Got it," said Rev, slowing down. He went off with Ace, Lexi, Slam, and Duck to their individual rooms and Daniella and Wendy went to their shared room.
Suddenly, Tech and Sophie began hearing strange noises…voices, even…
"Do you guys hear that?" asked Sophie. The others stopped dead in their tracks before they could reach the hallway.
"No," said Lexi, "And if I can't hear it--"
"I hear it, too," whispered Tech, so low that only Lexi could hear him.
"What's that, Tech?" Lexi asked.
"Uh, nothing," said Tech, getting up and walking off to his lab, "I'll just go to bed."
Sophie got up, too. "I'll go, too. It's been a long day." But the voices didn't stop…
