Chapter 1 – Encore of Puyo Puyo

Amitie's POV

"Come on, Mom! Of all days, you can't sleep in again!"

"Just give me five more minutes, Ami."

"You said that five minutes ago!"

"I did? Okay…how about four more minutes?"

I grabbed my pillow from my futon and repeatedly hit Mom in the head with it.

"Ow! OW! Okay, okay, I'm up!" Mom shouted as she grabbed my pillow and threw it across the room.

"Geez, Mom. You said you'd start waking up on time from now on." I said.

"I said I would try. I didn't say I'd be successful at it."

*sigh*

"Why so frantic this morning, anyway?" Mom asked.

"Don't you know what day it is?"

"May 31st. Why?"

"Mom, today's the last day of school. We're throwing a party to celebrate us going to high school next year, remember?"

"Huh? O-Oh, yeah! I remember! Congratulations, Ami!"

"Thanks. Now can you get ready, please? We're supposed to pick up Raffina and Lidelle on the way there."

"Alright, Alright." Mom said as she got up from her futon. Around the same time, Ally came out of the bathroom after taking a 30-minute shower.

"Ah, so refreshing." She said while drying her hair.

"You were in the shower the whole time?! What were you doing?!" I asked.

"Something that helps us girls feel good." Ally said with a wink.

I didn't know what she was talking about at first, but after giving it some thought, I figured it out. And was extremely embarrassed for doing so.

"EW! Gross, Ally! Why would you do THAT in the shower?!"

"Well, where else could I do it?"

"DON'T ASK ME!"

"Why are so embarrassed, Ami? It's completely normal for girls your age to do that." Mom added.

"DON'T SIDE WITH HER!"

"Just saying."

*sigh* "Geez, you two. Can we go now?" I asked. I'm already exhausted for the day and we haven't even left the house yet.

"Yeah, sure. Just let me freshen up a bit." Mom said.

"I've already freshened up." Ally teased with another wink.

"Shut up, Ally." I said.

A few minutes later mom was finished getting ready. And by "finished" I really mean all she did was change her shirt. Mom's really lazy when it comes to fashion. We then left the house and Mom drove the car to the meeting spot where we were supposed to pick up Raffina and Lidelle. When we got there, I couldn't hold my excitement anymore.

"RAFFINA!"

"AMITIE!"

I jumped out the car and hugged Raffina as tight as I can possibly can. I felt Raffina do the same. After a few seconds of nuzzling each other, we both looked at each other's eyes, inching our faces together preparing our lips to meet once more. As our lips were about to make contact, though…

"Hey! Earth to Amitie and Raffina! We're going to be late for school!" Lidelle shouted trying to get our attention.

"H-Huh?" We realized what we were doing and broke off our attachment.

"S-Sorry." We both said while being mildly embarrassed.

"Aw, come on, Lidelle! I wanted to see them make out!" Ally complained.

"WE DON'T MAKE OUT!"

"Why would you want to see that?" Lidelle asked.

"Who wouldn't? And besides, I might want to try it sometime."

"Y-You would?!"

"Yeah, why not? …Hey Lidelle, why are you blushing?"

"N-No reason." Lidelle's face was bright red at this point. "C-Can we just go now?"

"Yeah, yeah. Get in." Mom said, pointing her thumb inwards signaling us to get in the car.

I made Ally sit in the front seat and me, Raffina, and Lidelle sat in the back. Literally, the only reason the change of seating happened is that I wanted to snuggle with Raffina more. We haven't seen each other for a week because Raffina's been taking over Amira's shifts at the jewelry store due to Amira constantly studying for her final exams at the college. It was really difficult having to go to school without her. I mean yeah, Lidelle, Klug, and Ally were there, but not being with your girlfriend for that long really takes a toll on you.

"Hey, is Amira going to be done with her finals today?" I asked Raffina, still snuggling up against her.

"She should be." Raffina answered, still doing the same to me. "I know how you feel, Amitie. I've missed you a lot too."

I looked up at Raffina and gave her the sweet, passionate kiss on the lips that Lidelle interrupted earlier. I felt her lips return the force I was giving, and it ended up feeling like we were fighting for dominance or something like that.

"Aw, geez. There they go again." Lidelle said trying not to stare.

"They're totally making out!" Ally said doing the exact opposite.

We broke our lips apart to see that everyone else was staring at us, which left a bit of embarrassment on our faces.

"S-Sorry, again." We both said.

"Don't be, Ami. I had a good time watching." Ally said.

"That's a very creepy thing to say, Ally." Raffina said.

"And perverted." Lidelle added.

"Trust me, guys. I've known Ally for years. You'll get used to it." I said.

"Hey, that reminds me of the time Ami first heard one of Ally's perverted jokes." Mom joined the conversation. "Her reaction was hilarious! I think I have a picture saved on my phone!"

"Mom!" I yelled.

"Ooo! I remember that! It was hilarious! Do you think you send me that pic, Melody?" Ally said.

"Ally!" I yelled again.

"Sure thing! I'll send it to you when we get to the school."

"Awesome!"

I slammed my head on the back of the front seat, wanting this car ride to end already.

"I'm so sorry, Amitie." Raffina said while hugging me.

"Yeah, me too." Lidelle added. "You used to only have Melody tease you all the time. But now it's her and Ally."

"It's okay, guys. Like I said before, you'll get used to it…hopefully." I said nervously.

Please to God let me be right.

After the car trip from hell, we finally made it to the magic school. The four of us got out the car and stood outside the entrance gate.

"I'll be back in about an hour or so. I have to meet up with my publisher real quick." Mom said.

"Okay, Mom." I waved over to her as she drove off.

Us four girls entered the school and headed for the classroom. There we saw Klug, who was early as usual, sitting on his desk reading a book.

"Morning, Klug." I said cheerfully.

"Ah, salutations everyone. Nice day, is it not?" Klug greeted us as he would normally.

Ever since the party for my birthday 3 months ago, Klug's been keeping his promise on turning a new leaf, well…trying to. He would sometimes revert to his old self, but he says it just happens sometimes, which is completely understandable. It's hard to change your personality so suddenly.

"Hey, Klug! Take a look at this!" Ally said while giving Klug her phone. Klug scrolled through Ally's phone while she was telling him where to go. I already knew what Ally was trying to show him, and it made me both mad and scarred at the same time.

"Uh…what am I looking at, Ally?" Klug asked while staring at the picture of me with a confused look on his face.

"Ami's reaction when I told her a perverted joke. Want to hear one?" Ally asked.

"No. No, not at all."

"Aw. You're no fun."

"I'm not sure how being perverted can be fun."

"It isn't." Me, Raffina, and Lidelle retorted at the same time.

"Good morning, kiddies!"

"Please take your seats, meow."

It was during that time Ms. Accord, along with Popoi, walked in the classroom. We each sat at our desk and class began.

"Well, as you all know, this is the last day of school. After today, I won't be your teacher anymore." Ms. Accord said while trying to hold back her tears.

"It's okay. Popoi's here for you." Popoi tried to comfort her.

"I still don't understand why you can't just come to the high school with us." Lidelle said.

"I wish it was that easy, Lidelle. But the principle here is rather stubborn. He won't let me leave even if I gave him a thousand reasons.

"Y'know, I've never even met this principle guy the whole time I've been here." I said.

"None of us have. That stuck-up geezer never leaves his office from the start of the day until the end." Raffina said.

"Not once has he ever greeted his students that come to this school." Klug added.

"Wow. This guy sounds like he's total crap." Ally said.

"You could say that." Popoi agreed.

"Anyway, let's forget about that and spend our last day together as a class, shall we?" Ms. Accord suggested.

"Yeah!" We all agreed and our final class with Ms. Accord began.

An hour into the lesson, there was a disturbance coming in to join us.

"Hey-o, everybody!" It was Mom, who slid the door open as hard as she could while greeting everyone.

"Mom, what are you doing here? School isn't over yet." I asked.

"Well, after I visited my publisher, I got bored, so I came here." She explained.

"Huh. Back then when you were bored you would try to leave school instead of coming to it." Ms. Accord said.

"That was different, Accord. Nowadays, I'm full-grown, mature adult." Mom said that while pounding her chest like she was proud of herself for saying that.

"Full-grown, yes. Mature…far from it." Popoi said.

"Hey! Who asked you?!" Mom sounded while being slightly insulted.

I giggled at what Popoi said about Mom, mainly because it's 100% true.

"Hey, Ms. Accord. Didn't you say earlier that you and Melody were classmates in high school?" Raffina asked.

"Oh. I'm surprised you still remember that. Yes, we were. Why, what about it?" Ms. Accord asked.

"I was just wondering why Melody still calls you by your last name."

"Oh, that. That's because she forced me to keep calling her that." Mom answered.

"So, you know her first name then?" Lidelle asked.

"Accord's first name? Of course, I do! It's Ha…"

"Okay kiddies, class is over!" Ms. Accord said while shoving her wand in Mom's mouth.

"Aw, what? Come on! I wanna know!" Ally wined.

"I admit, I want to know as well." Klug added.

We all looked at Ms. Accord, who then looked at Popoi with an unsure look on her face.

"Just do it, meow. It would be a good send-off present for them." He said.

"sigh. Alright. I'll tell you." Ms. Accord said while taking her wand out of Mom's mouth.

We were all excited to hear this. Normally, Ms. Accord would never tell us anything that had to do with herself or what we were going to do in class. So this was a rare moment for us.

"My first name…is Harmony." She said.

"WOAH!" Needless to say, we were all shocked.

"Good for you, Harmony! You've finally revealed your true identity!" Mom said with a thumbs up.

"Don't push it, Melody." Clearly, Ms. Accord was still embarrassed about telling her students something personal about her.

"Wait. Harmony and Melody…I think I'm starting to get why you kept it a secret." I said, putting two and two together.

"Yes. I was afraid that our other classmates would think that we're sisters, so I went by Accord the whole time."

"Still don't see how being my sister would've been a bad thing." Mom said.

"Melody, no offense, but at the time EVERYTHING about being your sister would've been a bad thing."

"Wow. So cold."

"I said no offense."

"Yeah, but still."

I again giggled at what was said about Mom, mainly because it was again 100% true.

"Anyway, we still got another 2 hours before school lets out. So just go sit at the window over there and don't do anything distracting." Ms. Accord said.

"Sure thing…Harmony." Mom replied.

"You're enjoying this way too much."

"Just like old times, huh?"

I'm starting to feel sorry for Ms. Accord for having to deal with a younger version of Mom for 3 years.


Raffina's POV

After school today was definitely one of the hardest moments of my life, as me and the others had to say goodbye to Ms. Accord for the final time. There were some tears, mainly from Amitie and Lidelle, but it was definitely understandable. I almost cried myself. Ms. Accord has been my teacher since I was 5 years old. Back then, it was just me, Lidelle, Klug, and Tarutaru. So it was easy to bond with her. But now that we're leaving her behind while we go on to high school, it's going be a little hard to cope with that feeling of emptiness for 3 years.

After we said our goodbyes, Klug said he had to go help his dad out with something, so he had to leave. He said he'll still come to the party later. In the meantime, it was just the five of us riding in Melody's car heading for the sweets parlor to meet up with Lemres for party planning. On the way there, we started reflecting on times spent with Ms. Accord as our teacher.

"Y'know, even though I've spent the least time with Ms. Accord being my teacher, I'm going to miss her." Ally said.

"Yeah, me too." Amitie agreed. "We did so much fun stuff together as a class."

"Yeah, but you got to admit that flying cane stunt was kinda pointless." Lidelle added.

"Yeah, true. Having to go all around town looking for it, only to find out it was just another one of her surprise tests was a huge letdown." I said.

"Ha! That sounds just like her!" Melody said.

"What do you mean by that?" Amitie asked.

"She may not look like now, but when we were in high school, Harmony had a huge imagination. She would read so many books that she would sometimes imitate the adventures in said books."

"Ms. Accord?! Adventurous?!" The four of us said in shock.

"Yep. And it was fun to watch too. I would go with her just to film her doing such things, much to Popoi's disapproval."

"So she had Popoi during high school too?" Lidelle asked.

"Yeah, but his personality back then was no different from how he is today."

"Did you know about the secret?"

"Of course I did. In fact, it's how we met. It wasn't that hard for me to figure out that it wasn't ventriloquism."

"Did anyone else know?" I asked.

"No. The rest of the class were too oblivious to the whole thing. Although, there was one other girl who knew."

"What happened to her?" Ally asked.

"After we all graduated, she ran off to follow this guy she fell in love with. Haven't seen or heard from her since."

"Wow. Talk about determination." Amitie said.

"Yeah, it's something."

After a few more minutes of driving, we've reached the sweets parlor and Amitie and Ally ran inside like they were little children.

"SWEETS!" They both shouted.

"H-Hey! Don't run inside!" Lidelle said walking in after them.

I was about to walk in with them, but then Melody grabbed my arm and held it with a good grip.

"H-Hey, Raffina. Can I talk to you for a sec?" She asked while looking nervous, which was not like her at all.

"Uh…sure, Melody. Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing wrong. It's just there's something about Harmony and me that I purposely left out."

"What do you mean?"

Melody looked very uncomfortable trying to get what she wanted to say out of her mouth. It got me really worried for what she was about to say.

"…It was during the aftermath of the assaults…" She said.

Now I was really scared of what was next. I remember the day Amitie told me how she and Melody were viciously assaulted by her father. She had so much fear in her eyes that it made me want to cry. I may not know the guy, but I could never forgive the bastard for what he did! To his own daughter no less! From what I've heard, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. I hope his death is slow and painful!

"M-Melody. You don't have to do this…" I said, trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Melody said. She took a deep breath and continued.

"After we left the hospital, Ami refused to go home. I understood why she felt that. Mainly because I had the exact same feeling. So we went to say at a motel. We were there for a month, and during that month Ami went through severe depression. She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't leave the motel room, she would just spend days in bed crying her eyes out to the point of them swelling up. It was a horrible sight."

"Yeah. I know how you feel." I agreed.

"Eventually I convinced her to go to a therapist to talk it out, and the therapist said that the city we used to live in was nothing but a field of nightmares for her. I felt so horrible. I felt like I failed as a mother by keeping my only child safe. I knew I had to fix everything, but I didn't know what to do. So one night, when I was sure Ami was asleep, I called Harmony, and told her everything that happened."

"So…that means…"

"Yeah. The job, the house, Ami's enrollment in the magic school. Harmony did all of that for me. And although I've been truly grateful for what she did, I haven't told Ami."

I was shocked after hearing all of Melody's confession. To think that she sacrificed so much just to make Amitie happy again. She really is a caring mother, but just has an odd way of showing it.

"W-Wow. Melody I had no idea…"

"Yeah. Which is why I'm telling you, Raffina. Please, whatever you do, don't tell Ami!"

I didn't know what to do. I want to help Melody out, but at the same time, I don't want to keep any secrets from my girlfriend. But in the end, I had to make a decision.

"…Okay, Melody…I won't tell her." I said.

"OH, THANK YOU, RAFFINA! YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!" Melody shouted while hugging me real tight.

"But please promise me that you'll tell her yourself eventually. I don't like keeping secrets from people."

"Uh…sure. I-I'll try." Melody looked unsure when she said that, but at least she'll try to.

After the unexpected but very knowledgeable talk, we went inside the parlor to meet up with everyone else. Lidelle and Ally were already eating ice cream that they picked out with Lemres, while Amitie was waiting near the counter.

"Hey, you two! Where did you go?" She asked as she walked up to us.

"I just had to ask Raffina something. Nothing to worry about, Ami." Melody said.

"Mom, when you say that, all I ever do is worry."

"Hey!"

"She's right, Amitie. There's absolutely nothing to worry about." I said.

"Well…okay. If you're saying the same thing, then it must be true." Amitie said as she hugged me.

"Ah, geez." Melody walked up to the counter sounded insulted that her daughter had to get confirmation from someone else to prove that she was right.

"So, what happened? How come you're not eating anything?" I asked her.

Amitie started blushing a little. I haven't seen her do that since before we started dating. Almost forgot how cute it was.

"I-I…I wanted to pick out something with you." She said. "I-Is that a bad thing?"

Now I was the one blushing. "N-No, of course not. In fact, I find it sweet that you did that. Thanks, Amitie." I said. I then gave Amitie a quick kiss on her lips, which made her giggle a bit.

"Hey, you lesbos! Do you want some ice cream or not?" asked Amira, who was also there helping Lemres out with his sweets making.

"Seriously?! Why do you keep saying that word?!" I asked, clearly angry that she keeps doing that.

"I just like to see you react to it." Amira admitted.

"Alright! My girl!" Melody said as she gave Amira a high five.

"Melody and Amira seem to be getting along." Lemres said, witnessing the whole thing.

"Trust me, Lemres. That's a bad thing." I said.

"Hey!" Both Melody and Amira shouted.

"Come on, Raffina! Let's go get some ice cream!" Amitie said, pulling my arm in the process.

"Alright, alright." I said as I was dragged to the front counter where Lemres was at.

After we picked out and ate our ice cream, our small little group got down to business on planning for the celebration party later today. I don't know how it would turn out, but with Amitie by my side, I honestly couldn't care less.

A/N: IT'S HERE! The sequel to Love of Puyo Puyo is finally here! Man, I've been DYING to write this ever since I've finished the first one. To be honest, I didn't want to end the original at 12 chapters, but at the same time, I felt like it was getting too long, especially with how much I can write in a day. I enjoyed writing the original and I plan to enjoy writing the sequel as well. I hope you can enjoy it with me. In the meantime, feel free to review, favorite, and/or follow the story. Next chapter coming soon. Thanks for reading!
