Hey, it's my 3rd publication! I'd be even more excited if you, dear reader, would review it. Even flames are accepted, it proves someone's reading.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise. WITCH belongs to Disney. But Aquasis and the World Hopper are MINE!
And so we now move to...
Chapter One: Heart Hunting and Odd Occurrences
"COME ON, HAN, SPILL! Why can't you come Heart hunting tonight?" demanded Chloe. " We're going to Aquasis. They say the Heart there is a pearl. AN ABSOLUTELY HUGE PEARL! You love pearls!"
"I told you, Chloe, I have to work in the restaurant tonight. I cannot go AWOL again or my mom will kill me. Sorry, BYE!" Her long, black ponytails flapped in the wind as Han Lin ran off to her mom's restaurant, yet again. Chloe flipped her Rapunzel-style blonde locks with a shrug.
"Okay, so what's your excuse, Iris?" she asked. The brunette stopped fiddling with one of her braids and answered,
"Are you serious! I have geography homework, a maths assignment, that English essay AND an art project due in three days! I don't have time for any magic-world-jumping stuff!"
"And Tammy...?"
"Will be helping her," replied Tamora. Her blue-black hair hung in a single pigtail over her right shoulder. "And anyway, I agree with your aunt Lillian. Heart hunting is just wrong. It might make you feel powerful, but, by the slight chance you do find a Heart, what about the world you leave almost defenceless? You know no one from Earth has ever seen the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions, even if they are real. Would YOU defend that world with your life?" Iris and Tammy walked off, leaving Chloe with only red headed Wilma. But...
"Don't look at me! I'm grounded! I'm lucky I'm allowed my cellphone. And you know that you're not allowed to go on the World Hopper alone. So Aquasis is just gonna have to wait. Bye!" Wilma ran down the street towards her home, which left Chloe alone at the school gate.
"Great!" Chloe thought, the sarcasm almost showing on her face as she trudged towards home. "Now I get to listen to Aunt Lillian tell me why Heart hunting is wrong while Mom gets to go to Meridian. Absolutely wonderful!" For some reason, Lillian was in complete opposition to the sport. Chloe thought it was just fun. Lillian did not agree.
When she finally got home, she checked up on her exasperating science project. The point was to over-fertilise a plant to the point that it died, but no matter what she did it stubbornly refused to go to meet its maker. An aunt that wouldn't let you play your favourite sport and a plant that wouldn't die. Life was so frustrating.
En Route to Sheffield Institute-The Next Day
As Tammy's mom, Mrs Cook, was driving Tammy to school, they passed two boys poking a tied-up dog with sticks. Tammy felt her temper bubbling up like a volcano about to explode. "Mom, stop the-OW!" Tammy's eyes, for a single moment, felt like they were on fire. Mrs Cook pulled the car over right outside the school.
"Are you okay, Tammy? she asked, extremely concerned.
"I'll be fine, Mom," the pain was already receding, but when she opened her eyes everything was fuzzy, "but I think I lost my contact lenses."
"Your glasses are in the glove box."
"Thanks Mom!" Tammy said, paused to retrieve her glasses, then got out of the car.
Mrs Cook, first name Taranee, reached down onto the car floor and retrieved the melted remains of two contact lenses.
"Hmmm..." she said, and was about to drive off when suddenly A HUGE "ACHHOOOOOOOO!" came from right outside, followed by a small thud. Getting out of the car she saw the crumpled up body of Han Lin against the school wall.
"That was quite a sneeze, Han Lin," she remarked as she helped the girl up.
"I must have tripped in the middle." laughed the slightly-bruised girl.
"Yes, tripped..." said Mrs Cook, not truly convinced. Right then Chloe walked past carrying a beautiful geranium in a pot. The second Han Lin looked at Chloe she whispered, "That better not be the fertiliser project."
"The one where you kill the plant with fertiliser, right?" asked Mrs Cook.
"In theory," Chloe replied, "but the stupid thing won't die!"
"Your mother had trouble with that one too." Mrs Cook said quietly. "Really?" asked Han Lin, but no one really heard her as a sopping wet Iris stormed past, shortly followed by Wilma, who wasn't even damp.
"Um, what happened?" asked Chloe.
"I so don't want to talk about it." Iris said as she marched into school. Everyone looked at Wilma.
"The fountain in the park kinda exploded on her." she explained.
"Well," said Mrs Cook, "I need to get going. Why don't you girls go find Iris a towel." While the girls headed off into school, Mrs Cook got back into her car and drove round the corner, then pulled over and closed her eyes. "I cannot believe I am actually about to do this again." she muttered. Then she opened her mind, out to her fellow members of W.I.T.C.H.
"CALLING ALL W.I.T.C.H.! URGENT MEETING AT THE SILVER DRAGON ASAP!"
WOAH! This is the longest chapter I have ever written. Over a whole page of writing!
I really love W.I.T.C.H. a lot, and I'm just hoping I have done well. If you don't get the parenting... well I don't really either. Basically W.I.T.C.H. 2.0 have the same power as their mothers, Will-Wilma, Irma-Iris, Cornelia-Chloe, Taranee-Tamora (my favourite cause she's based on me), and Hay Lin-Han Lin.
As I mentioned before, any reviews are accepted. Um, and could someone please tell me how to post a second chapter?
My thanks
DVM
(P.S. NONE of my stories are going anywhere until I get at least two reviews on one. HINT, HINT. *puppy dog face* Please?)
