Everything started at Taranee's house. The W.I.T.C.H girls were just there spending some time together as they usually did. Everything seemed very quiet, and pacific. Will and Taranee where playing some video game, Cornelia was laying on a coach reading a magazine, Irma was eating some cookies and ,next to her, the energetic Hay Lin was staring at the roof. It was the first time everything was so calm since the moment they started being guardians of the veil, and most of them were really enjoying it.
But, of course , Hay Lin was not having as much fun as the other ones did, so she decided to break the silence by starting talking about the important celebration that was coming. She took her bag and took two papers with two beautiful hearts on each of them. One was Pink and the other one was red.
"so girls, which of this hearts we should use for the decorations of the Silver Dragon ?" asked the optimist Air guardian. The rest of them instantly stopped what they were doing to stare at her friend
''What are you talking about?'' Will asked as she stared at the drawings
''well duh! Next week is Saint Valentine's day! Remember? I told my grandma that we were going to help with the decorations of the restaurant!'' the rest of the guardians glared at her.
''HAY LIN!'' Cornelia cried
''don´t you think you should have asked us first?'' Taranee asked crossing her arms
'' well yeah… but I knew you guys were going to say NO'' The Asian girl smiled as the guardians once again glared at her
'' AW come on guys! Saint Valentine's day is an important celebration a very very!! Important celebration!''
"Oh come on Hay Lin, the only thing important to you on this day is Eric." said Will teasing her
"Right." said Hay Lin, while she smiled dreamily, she had to admit, before knowing Eric Saint Valentine's day was just another stupid celebration "Do you know he invited me to the school dance?"She said proudly
"Hay Lin, you have told us like ten times!" said Taranee while she turned off her computer
"Eleven." joked Irma, who was staring at Hay Lin Papers. She hated Romantic things, but she had to admit that the hearts were really beautiful
"Well Taranee, I think you are more excited than Hay Lin because you are going with Nigel." said Cornelia, trying to defend Hay Lin, after all, the earth guardian was as romantic as the air one.
"Ha-ha. I agree with you Corny." laugh Irma "What about you Will? You are the most excited because Matt invited you."The leader,whose face was now completely ,red cried:
"No!! I think you are, Irma! You are the happiest because Martin invited you!" Everyone started laughing.
"Oh shut up ...maybe he is an idiot, but I didn't want to break his heart." said the water guardian, she remembered the day she told the girls she was going to the dance with Martin , they couldn´t stop laughing!
"I think you like him you know?" said Cornelia. Irma didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. As you would've imagined many guys invited Cornelia, but the curious thing was that she didn´t anyone.
"umm Cornelia, can I ask you something?" Irma asked after some minutes
"What is it?" Cornelia asked turning to her friend
"Well, many guys invited you to the party, but you said no to all of them. Why?" Irma asked.
"Oh it's just that," Cornelia said softly "Well, I don't want to go that's all."
The girls looked at each other. Cornelia Hale? The party lover didn´t wanted to go? That was unbelievable.
''what's wrong?'' Cornelia asked putting her hand on her hips after looking at their friend's expression
'' Aww! Come on Cornelia admit it!! you didn't accepted the other guys because you wanted to go with CALEB!!''
''What? Are you kidding?'' Cornelia blushed
'' I have seen the way you guys stare at each other when we go to Meridean, that is definitely true love!'' Hay Lin said dreamily. The rest of the guardians agreed
'' that's ridiculous I DON´T LIKE HIM, I don´t even expect him to invite me to the party because in Meridean St Valentine's day doesn´t exist!!'' Cornelia shouted madly
''Geezz Corny Hay Lin was just kidding, Right Hay?'' Irma said trying to calm down her friend
'' yeah yeah I'm sorry Cornelia It was just a joke'' Hay Lin said, but It was too late tears where starting to appear in the Earth guardian's eyes. Will, put a hand on her shoulder but before she could say anything Cornelia ran into the door:
'' I must go to my house guys, It's starting to get really cold, see ya later!'' and before anyone could stop her, Cornelia disappeared
''you shouldn't had mentioned Caleb Hay Lin'' Taranee said
''yeah I'm sorry, I hope she is okay''
''oh don't worry guys she will be'' Will said smiling '' I know perfectly how to make her feel better''
'' uh It seems our leader has a plan'' Irma said
'' actually I do Irma, Guardians! We have a plan! We must make Caleb and Cornelia go to the school dance together''
A smile appeared on each of the guardians faces
''wow! You rock Will!'' Hay Lin said exited as she gave her leader a high five
''yeah, Cornelia is gonna love us after this'' Irma smiled
''Well…I like the idea but…''Taranee started doubly, making Irma frown
''But what?''
"But…it's going to be difficult" said the negatively.
"Why do you think that?" questioned Hay Lin. "you know, Caleb loves Cornelia with all his heart." She smiled dreamily.
"Well, that's exactly the problem. How many times do you guys hear Caleb telling us, 'I'm a rebel leader, I don't have time to fall in love.'?" Taranee asked, looking at Will. "Caleb is too proud to admit his feelings to Corny."
"But Caleb loves Corny." Hay Lin complained. "Have you seen the way he looks at her?"
"Yeah, I'm sure that's true love." Will joined in
''yeah! Do you remember that day we went to the lake and Caleb saw Cornelia in her bikini? He was as red as a tomato!'' remained the water guardian laughing
'' and when we were fighting with Cedric and he nearly hurts Cornelia and Caleb saved her? That was sooo romantic!''said Hay Lin
"Of course girls, I agree with you." said Taranee "but..."
Ringggggggggggggggg!!
The bell rang before Taranee could finish what she was saying. When Hay Lin opened the door the girls were surprised to see the brave rebel leader in front of them.
Without being able to control themselves the guardians smiled evilly:
"Hey girls." he saluted. And sat well, actually threw himself, on the couch where Cornelia had been some minutes ago ''Mind if I join you guys?'' The rebel asked casually
"Caleb! Of course you can… actually, we are glad you actually came'' Said Will with an evil grin''we were talking about you."
''really?'' Caleb asked as he looked around. ''hey, um, where is Cornelia?'' he wondered
'' yeah we were also talking about her…'' Irma joined between giggles
"And about the very important day that is coming." finished Hay Lin.
"Yeah, Saint Valentine's Day." said Taranee while looking at the girls playfully.
"What are you guys talking about? Saint Valen. . . what?" asked Caleb, confused.
"Saint Valentine's Day." said Hay Lin. "It is an important celebration Earthlings celebrate…. about love."
"Love?" asked Caleb without interest.
"Yeah." said Taranee; "It is a traditional celebration where lovers express their love to one another." she smiled dreamily.
"Yeah, it's the perfect day to tell 'you know who' about your feelings." said Irma playfully.
"What?!" he asked trying to sound surprised about what Irma said ''what are you talking about?'' He demanded innocently
"Cornelia, duh!" Will said without shame "you see…there is a school dance every Saint Valentine's Day. You can invite her. It is a good opportunity to tell her how you feel…''
"Girls, please. Cornelia is a beautiful girl but I-I don't like her." Caleb interrupted trying to hide his feelings
The girls sighed sadly
''so…you won´t invite her?'' Asked an unhappy Hay Lin
''well…no'' Answered the rebel, even if deep down he wanted to…
"Okay, if you don't want to invite her…" Taranee said, making the rest of the girls turn to her with angry expressions on their faces.
But the fire guardian had her own plan. With a big smile on her face, she finished her sentence
"In that case, I guess I will ask my brother Peter to invite her…after all…he actually likes her…a LOT"
''ha! way to go Tara'' Whispered Will on the fire's guardian's ear as she saw Caleb's angry expression.
"What? No way! I'm going to invite her first!"
"But I thought you didn't like her." said Hay Lin smiling again
"That's true, I don't like her." said Caleb, "I LOVE HER, and I'm going to tell her my feelings that day!"
The guardians clapped
''Yay Caleb!! '' Hay Lin hugged him
"Great," said Irma, "This part was easy.''
Meanwhile with Cornelia:
''How dare Hay Lin to say that…?'' Thought the earth guardian angrily as she walked through the streets of Heatherfield in order to reach her apartment. It was really cold, which wasn´t very surprising, bearing in mind it was February.
Cornelia sighed at this. She hated February and the stupid celebration that was celebrated during this month…she hated it. Maybe she used to like it a year before, where boys would almost fight with each other in order to go with the school dance with her. But now, she didn´t seem to care very much about her millions of fans… and she knew perfectly why…
''How can she even suggest it!?'' Cornelia kept thinking angrier thanbefore'' I mean…me and Caleb? That would never happen!! NEVER! I mean…It's not that I don´t like him…he is so handsome and charming and…no! Bad thoughts Corny! Very Bad thoughts!'' She thought biting her bottom lip.
But after some seconds, she gave up.
''ugh…who am I trying to fool? Even Lillian could be able to see that I'm completely in love with him...b-but it just can´t happen! It's never gonna happen…never!!''
