Let's Do The Time Warp Again!
AN: So here it is as promised just a reminder it's not directly related to my other story. Sorry AlyssCO1 I'm doing it to you again I'm assuming the dancers had a much more in depth relationship with Skyla when they went back in time. I also can't figure out if High Hope is a high school or college so I'm going with high school. The double spaces between paragraphs (hopefully they show up) show a pov change, I tried to be as accurate as possible. Well I hope you enjoy!
"I can't believe we've graduated," Angelica said tears in her eyes.
Jade laughed even though she was as equally sad, "Come on, we've already said our goodbyes," She tugged on the girl's shirt to stop her from running back to the academy.
"Jade's right. You've spent the last hour saying goodbye to all the trees. You have to leave sometime," Breeze said rubbing Angelica's shoulder.
"It's just- I'm going to miss this place," Angelica sniffled.
"I'm going to miss Skyla," Jade said.
Angelica started bawling and buried her face in Breeze's t-shirt "Do you think she's going to be alright?"
"Sure. She'll find new dancers," Jade said brushing away tears.
"And the Wingdom?" Angelica asked.
"Will be fine. Really it won't be long before she gets new students and-," Jade started crying.
"Hey this won't be the end. We can come back and visit." Breeze said.
"Hey! Guys!" Camille yelled running down the hallway that led to the cable cars. She doubled over a few feet from them, there was something in her hand.
"Aren't dancers supposed to be in shape?" Breeze asked hugging both girls wondering how he'd gotten so lucky and at the same time how to comfort them.
Camille sucked in a deep breath and stood up straight, "I am but man, Skyla's fast,"
"What do you mean she's fast?" Jade turned around and eyed her suspiciously.
Six eyes stared at the girl as she waved a pink glove.
"You stole!- How could you!" Jade shouted
"Hey I'm going to give it back but I thought we could borrow it for a bit," Camille replied.
Breeze smiled catching on, "Angelica it's time to do your thing."
The dancers quickly became panic stricken and feared for their very lives as footsteps could be heard racing down the hallway. They were moving at in incredible speed so much so that Camille didn't have time to move before Slam collided with her. They both managed to stay upright by clutching the door frame and each other.
"Hey have you seen Skyla's glove?" Slam asked. His eyes bulged as Camille showed off the treasure.
"She's looking for that you know," He said reaching to take it back.
"Not yet Slam. First we're going to take a little joyride," Jade said taking the glove from Camille.
"To the music room," Jade said. She waved regally from the the corridor now wearing the glove.
"You know Slam land or air your still the fastest of us all," Angelica said walking towards the hallway Breeze still at her side.
"And the least graceful," Jade said.
"I don't think so, remember that time Angelica slipped her hop on TV?" Slam said
Angelica groaned, "Oh don't remind me," She turned to face Breeze and smiled, "You can let go of me now,"
Breeze's face turned tomato red as the rest of the dancers good heartedly laughed.
"I thought you were a little quiet," Slam ribbed.
The dancers started the walk up the hill to the academy.
"I suppose we'll have to use some stealth as Skyla's bound to be looking for me," Camille said dogging around a tree. She began to sing the mission impossible theme.
Jade shook her head typical Camille, "Hmm, that means we only have to get to the top, keep away from an angry teacher, her dogs, all on top of a deserted mountain. Should be fun. Where'd you steal the glove from anyways?" She asked somewhat sarcastically.
"She was wearing it," Camille replied nonchalantly.
When no one replied Camille turned around, "What! She never takes it off, it's not like I can say, Hello miss I'm testing out a new perfume would you like a sample? No the other wrist. Or Skyla do you mind taking off the last gift your husband gave to you? I'd like to see how it sparkles in the sun,"
"Smooth," Breeze said.
"Nerves of steel," Slam laughed.
A few minutes later and the dancers had arrived at the music room, it had taken longer than usual as they had taken care to avoid Skyla.
The dancers entered the obviously censor activated doors and walked towards the main Wingdom music box. Jade passed off the glove to Angelica. They stood at the ready hands joined.
"By the power within me, as Queen of the Wingdom. I summon my Sky Dancers to defend my kingdom," Angelica raised the glove up and aimed it at her friends.
Skyla watched in horror as her students imitated her. This is what they stole the glove for? To mock her? Did they think the Wingdom was all a joke? Had they already lost all their memories? Skyla ran down the ramp just in time for the final words there was a flash of light and a strong wind.
Angelica realized what was happening when it was too late. Skyla was coming into the past with them. Assuming that's where they were going with Skyla in the mix they might end up any where.
There was a mass collision as they fell into the music box. There was so much light no one could see it was only when they passed though the last cloud in the tunnel did they regain their vision.
Skyla was pissed. Jade ignored her and flew towards the wingdom, "Come on guys," She waved her arm forward.
Angelica followed, "Look the light house is being built!"
"I don't recognize anyone. That's a good thing right?" Camille asked.
"Couldn't be better Camille. Now come on to the palace," Breeze said.
Skyla had fallen out of the tunnel some distance from the dancers and had missed their conversation. She wrapped her arms around her waist and squeezed there was a sinking feeling in her stomach. She flew after her dancers she needed her glove back.
She stopped when something caught her eye. The lighthouse was in shatters. Her eyes widened in understanding. Sky Clone had attacked, and her dancers had come back to protect it. She flew faster using her four wings to her advantage. She looked left and right but she had lost the dancers, maybe they were fighting already. She admired her brave young friends.
She headed for the palace she must protect her subjects.
"What's she doing?" Jade asked. The dancers were crouched below the grand window of the throne room.
"I dunno but she's getting ready to do something drastic. Get ready to jump in," Camille said.
Skyla landed in her throne room. It was set up for a lavish party that was lacking guests. There was a small band tucked away in the corner playing playing a soft sweet melody. A few attendants dressed in pure white buzzed about. A women in a long white dress stood facing the green base of the throne, a young man in a traditional garment with green hair stood beside her. Two figures sat on matching ornate jewel incrusted thrones.
The soft music slowed to a stop as the women in white turned around, "Can I help you?"
Skyla froze her heart hammering in her chest. She examined the girls features, thick blonde hair with pink highlights, devoid of blue. Her eyes snapped to the groom. His green hair was spiking at the front but the rest of it lay flat. On his wedding day it would be completely flat. His hazel eyes sparkled.
She felt like a lightening bolt slapped her brain firing up connections. It was her and Skyler nearly ten years ago.
The young man turned to face her, he was smiling, "If your here for the rehearsal your a bit late,"
The young girl her eyes bright repeated her question, "Can we help you?" When Skyla still didn't answer the girl laughed gently.
The attention in the room shifted to the throne as the previous Queen stood up, her straight icy blue hair fell around her shoulders, the ends forming wispy tails. She was tall but not as tall as Skyla remembered, she must have grown some since then.
The Queen flew from the ornate throne and landed in front of Skyla. She used her ice blue eyes to peer into Skyla's pink.
"Hello Sky," Skyla said calmly.
There was a gasp in the room as Skyla had not used her full name or the proper court gestures.
The wingdom woman moved to examine her back, "You have four wings," She stated.
Skyla smirked. The woman had no way of knowing it but they were on equal ground.
The Queen pushed a strand of hair off Skyla's neck. Sky leaned in her lips close to Skyla's neck, "Hello Skyla,"
Skyla kept her face calm though her surprise, apparently Sky did know, "Should be interesting with two queens," She whispered bitterly.
Sky pulled back and held Skyla's hands fondly.
Skyla's anger melted away into love for the woman.
"Angelica get in there and do something," Camille said pushing at the blonds back.
"Why me!" She shrieked.
"You sorta look alike," Camille replied.
Angelica sighed before flying into the room. "Whoa! Mom," She said landing next to Skyla.
Queen Sky moved over slightly to allow Angelica to stand next to her fake mother. The rest of the Sky Dancers followed a moment after.
Skyla stared at the girl shocked, what the hell was Angelica doing?
Young Skyla rushed over to Angelica, "You came back!" She threw her arms around Angelica and embraced her. The white material of the wedding dress hung on the girl awkwardly and there was plenty to spare. The traditional heirloom dress still needed some adjusting.
There were footsteps as the other dancers approached. "Of course, we wouldn't miss such an important day," Jade said. She rested her hand on young Skyla's shoulder.
"Ya! Friends for life remember?" Camille said.
"Of course!" Skyla said hugging her.
Young Skyla let go and turned around to face King Sky Hawk. Joy was evident on her face like a child at Christmas, "See. They did come back!"
Sky Hawk laughed an easy laugh that spread out to the far corners of the room, "Of course I never had a doubt that your ladies in waiting, the seer and the royal b ball teacher would come back for your wedding. After all I did invite them, though I see you brought a friend," Sky Hawk used his sceptre to point at Skyla.
Young Skyla bought into the fib, "You brought them here? Thank you Sky Hawk," Young Skyla caught the students in a very firm group hug.
Skyla cursed herself for being so gullible.
There was laughter in the room as young Skyla was so excited she had not addressed him properly. But due to her close relations with the man her behaviour was often excused.
"Please introduce your self stranger," King Sky Hawk chuckled.
Skyla took a moment to clear her throat she had to do this right, "I am Angelica's mother. Royal page Emma Rose, from the-," Skyla paused for a second trying to think of a plausible situation, "Other realm," She finished.
There was a slight gasp as relations between the two realms were far between.
"We haven't had a visitor from that realm in quite sometime. Is everything alright over there?" Sky Hawk asked as he leaned forward in his chair.
Skyla gave a quick nod of her head, "I just came to wish the princess well on her wedding day and with her marriage,"
"Well that was very kind of you. It's too bad the ruler of that realm could not attend. As is custom." Sky Hawk said the sentence edged.
"Sorry boss man, but the other realm doesn't work that way," Slam interjected.
Slam received many looks some confused, others angry for disrespecting their king.
"Sk-Emma is the highest member of the court there-," Camille was cut off by a sharp elbow from Jade.
"What she means is-" Jade tried.
Sky stepped up beside the girls, "It's quite alright husband. I invited her. Now I feel that our guests have had a long trip and should been shown to their rooms," Sky cocked her head at young Skyla, "Perhaps you'd like to show them the way?"
"Yes of course I just need to get out of this first," Young Skyla played with the material that bloomed out from her waist.
Sky laughed, "Maybe your ladies in waiting can help you,"
Sky Hawk tapped the bottom of his sceptre to the ground once, signalling he wanted silence, "Yes. That sounds like the thing to do. But please leave Emma here as I would like to talk to her,"
Skyla held back a sigh, her dancers would go have fun and leave her to deal with the political backlash. She dropped into a flawless bow. She was on one knee head bowed, her right arm lay across her chest and the palm resting on her left shoulder, "Please may I ask for the honour of being the first lady in waiting. I would not feel right unless I was able to serve the court in some manner,"
"No way," Breeze pointed at Skyla who was still on the ground.
"Skyla bowing to someone! I'd never thought I'd see that." Slam said as he scooted between Jade and Breeze for a better look.
Jade realizing they may have made an error, "Please allow us to serve the court as well," She attempted to drop into a bow as Skyla had but Sky Hawk motioned for her to stop.
"Please you are our guests and friends. My only wish is that you help Skyla get ready for her wedding,"
"Are you sure?" Camille asked.
Skyla grumbled her head still bowed no one knew she made a sound. If you were excused from court duties you didn't question.
Sky once again came to the rescue, "That will be all. Please take some time to explore our land and reacquaint yourselves with Skyla. Husband if you will allow it I would like very much for Emma to become my lady in waiting at least for the next few days,"
Sky Hawk leaned forward in his seat his elbows resting on his legs, "Please tell we what qualifications do you have to be serving someone with such a high rank?"
Skyla began to speak but was interrupted by Sky, "Hush husband. She will be my lady in waiting and that is final," There was a soft tapping as Sky moved to stand by Skyla. With a firm tap on Skyla's shoulder she stood up. She made eye contact with the king before standing to the left of the Queen.
Young Skyla moved to the centre of the room a few feet from the throne, "Is that all then?"
There was a smile on Sky's face as she touched young Skyla's shoulder, "Yes. Please go have fun with your friends,"
"Emma if you'll follow me," Sky motioned towards the royal family's private chambers.
Skyla trailed after the woman staying a few respective steps behind.
The Sky dancers looked at each other they were slightly worried about Skyla but they were too excited that their time jump had worked.
Breeze raised his hands above his head, "Free time!"
Young Skyla giggled, "I have to get out of this dress first,"
"Of course my lady. Then what would you like to do?" Jade asked with a slight bow.
"Oh you have to see Whirl and Twirl. They've grown up so much. They can fly now- my music boxes. I must show you those. Skyler gave me one for our wedding it's beautiful, it looks a little like a egg, and there's gorgeous swirls, blue stones. Azurite. I'm sure it's azurite. And a red stone I can't remember it's name but it's the stone for January," Skyla gushed.
Camille laughed, "We'll do it all and a lot more,"
Young Skyla began to walk from the room. The train following behind her.
Camille picked it up and follow Skyla out of the room. Jade carefully picked up the overflow.
"I'll catch up with you guys in a sec. I just want to say bye to my mom first," Angelica said surprised at how easy the word mom slid off her tongue. She flew down the corridor to the left of the room past the guards, and stopped a step behind Skyla. The Queen had all ready entered her room leaving Skyla and Angelica alone.
Skyla smiled a sickly sweet smile at Angelica, "Dead," She whispered. She pinched Angelica's cheek before disappearing into the room.
AN: I'm not going to lie the best part about this was the research. I know I said this would be one shot but it'll actually be a few chapters and I cant believe how fast this came together after grinding my brain for a week I guess I had more done than I thought. I'm sorry I couldn't miss the chance to use the gemstone azurite once I found out it was a blue stone. Well enjoy. The rage comes next chapter. By the way would somebody please tell me if I'm using the wrong version of course?
Till next time!
