Bribio- Hello everyone! It's been almost a year since I have updated (at the time I am typing this, it is 5/27/12)! I am working on revising my storied so that I can keep them rather than deleting everything and starting over. Anyway, I hope that you like this story because I have a lot of fun writing them! I also apologize if the characters are a bit out of character, I haven't finished every book yet, because Ashiko is such a slow reader. Or maybe she just hasn't bought any new ones… either way, I'm not finished so I apologize in advance. I don't own SC! Ir any of these characters besides me and my charas! Oh, and Ashi owns her charas… yeah… please enjoy!
Bribio's Pov
Finally, the last week of school had come. This was everything I'd been waiting for; we were all so close to summer vacation! But, no matter what anyone tells you, the last week of school is by far the hardest. You'd the think I'd be excited for school to start, because its nearing its end, but I'm actually terrified. Everything always seems to go wrong. There would be finals, which was the main problem. We would obviously have people saying, "Oh, keep in touch!" and people leaving and new ones coming, but that was the least of my problems. A final exam… on everything we'd learned in the past year? In almost every subject? Sure, I'm in some advanced classes… but that doesn't mean I remember every little thing our teachers told us! Ashiko doesn't want to go back for our final week, but for a different reason. She just can't study. Literally. Last year, she flushed one week's worth of math homework down the toilet. This year, things weren't nearly as bad, but it's not like she kept anything. Whatever, she's Ashiko. She'll find some way to get out of everything. Still though, I wish I had some help with schoolwork. Ashiko's no help with studying because she flushes stuff down the toilet, doesn't keep her papers and is too busy (cough-LAZY-cough). Oh, no matter what I did, I'd still have to study. I began sifting through notebooks looking for old worksheets on balancing chemical equations. Just my luck, none. "I wish I had someone to just help me out a bit. Everything is just too hard!" I screamed out of frustration. Boy, did I need school help more than ever. "I wish I was more organized, studious and smart! I wish I could change my character!"
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind and a bright glow, shining from… me? When the glow stopped, I instinctively extended my arms and formed a protective cup in my hands. I looked up, and a green egg floated into my hands. It looked like a chalkboard. Oh, those stupid chalkboards… in those stupid schools… Then I realized I was being a bit too calm for what had just happened… "ACK!" I screamed. I had just… an egg came out of me?
Someone knocked on my door. "SOUMA MANSION ROOM SERVICE! CAN I COME IN?"
"Shut up, Ashiko." I groaned.
"How did you know it was me?" my sister called.
"It was obvious, Ashi." I mumbled.
"Can I come in?" she asked.
"Uh… one minute!" I grabbed the egg and pushed it gently into my desk drawer where I knew it would be safe. Not that, of course, I wanted it to be safe. I just had to keep it away from my nosy sister until I figured out what it was. I hoped it would be okay in there. Ashi never usually went through my desk, because it was all school stuff. My closet on the other hand, was raided daily... like she doesn't shop enough (I hope you picked up on the sarcasm). "Come in!" I called.
"Kay, I'm coming in!" She opened the door and plopped herself down on my bed. "So, um…" she started. "Bribio-chan…"
"Yeah?" I asked. I knew she was being serious, she wouldn't call me Bribio-chan unless she was.
"There's something… serious… I have to ask you, like, right now," Ashiko-chan said.
"There this… uh… well, you see…" she stammered.
"DINNER!" a loud voice yelled.
"COMING KUKAI!" Ashiko yelled back. "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE DONE THE COOKING!" Ashiko and I gagged at the thought.
"IT'S PIZZA! HURRY UP, IT'S GETTING COLD!" Kukai sang. Both Kukai-kun and I knew pizza was (and stillis) Ashiko's weakness. Her eyes lit up and her jaw dropped.
"YAY! PIZZA!" she yelled, bouncing out of the room and sprinting down the stairs. Guess I'd never find out what she needed to talk to me about, which was a shame, because I'd been considering asking her if she knew about the egg. Maybe I could confide in Kukai-kun? He was older, maybe he knew about this.
"Bribio! Hurry up!" Kukai called.
"Yeah, I'm coming," I said. I walked down the steps and into the dining room.
Kukai had a funny look on his face. "So… uh… anything weird happen lately?" Kukai asked. Judging by his concerned expression, he knew something was wrong with me.
"No," I lied, "just stressed… you know, finals and all."
"And you, Ashi-chan?" he asked.
Ashiko looked down at her pizza. "No." But I, being her sister, could tell she was lying. "I actually don't feel all that great, can I take this to my room?" she asked, gesturing to the open pizza box. Kukai nodded as he pulled the bottom one open for us to share. Ashiko took the box and went upstairs.
"I… I'm actually not that hungry," I told Kukai.
"Suit yourself," Kukai said, pulling the box of pizza closer to him.
I trudged back up to my room. "No fair." I mumbled out loud. "Why am I the only one with the creepy, chalky, egg thing?" I asked myself. I ran back to my room and jumped on to my bed. I reached into the desk drawer and pulled out the egg. to carefully inspect it.
"Knock, knock," Ashiko said as she let herself in. "Look… I…" she began.
Suddenly, three bangles appeared on my wrist. "Can I do your practice essay for English class?" I gleefully asked.
"What the…" she started.
I quickly shook my head back and forth and felt the magic bangles disappear. "Agg! I will NOT do your essay, especially considering YOU only have one day left to do it!" As I said this, I noticed a black bat necklace that just…appeared…on her neck.
Ashiko's Pov
As Bribio said this, I noticed the three bangles on her wrist, pink, blue and green, disappeared. "Then you shouldn't have asked," I scoffed. "So why don't you just leave me alone?"
"Well, you get out of my room then, genius!" Bribio yelled. I thought I noticed a necklace on my neck, but it immediately disappeared.
"I'm telling Kukai-kun you're being mean!" I pouted. "COUSIN KUKAI!" I took off down the stairs, followed by Bribio.
Kukai's Pov
My cousins ran down the stairs, both of them screaming. Why me? WHY do I have to be related to them?
"Kukai! Kukai!" Ashiko sobbed. "Bribio-chan is being a meanie!"
"Am not!" Bribio yelled back. "Shut it, Ashiko."
"Ashiko-chan to YOU."
"Will you two just SHUT UP for TWO seconds and explain what's going on?" I yelled. Both of them just stared at me. But at least they stopped yelling. "Let's go talk upstairs. Race you to the top!"
Bribio's Pov
As cousin Kukai said this, a star clip appeared in his hair. "Kukai!" I yelled. I was too late. Kukai sprinted up the stairs at light speed. Literally. Ashiko and I charged upstairs to see how he did it.
"Kukai!" Ashiko panted. "How did you-"
The star clip disappeared.
"What can I say? I'm amazing at sports!" he grinned. His sudden… change of character … (and the disappearing jewelry that both Ashi and I had seen) seemed totally normal to him. I mean, I knew he was athletic and stuff especially at school… but this? Jeez…
"Everything's been so weird today. Disappearing accessories, the egg, I mean…oh, whatever. I'm probably just dreaming," I thought. I slapped myself. "OW!" I yelled. I hadn't meant to hit myself quite so hard. "Shoot! I'm awake!"
Kukai just said, "I'm going to go to bed." Before Ashiko-chan said anything, he said, "The two of you need to learn to get along."
"Whatever," Ashi said. "Gotta go flush my English essay instructions down the toilet," she groaned.
"Of course," I said, pretending she was normal. I went back to my room, sat on the bed, and grabbed the chalkboard egg. I carefully looked at it. "I can't take care of a little chicken in here, that's for sure," I said out loud. "I almost wish it would hatch soon so I know what I'm going to have to deal with." I laid down on my bed and held the egg up in my hand to look at it, and, unconsciously, let a small smile spread across my face.
Ashiko's Pov
I went into my room, still wondering about everything that had happened today. Bribio's disappearing jewelry, Kukai's hair clip (first time I'd seen him with one of those), and…there might have been a necklace on my neck. It was kind of hard to see. If there was one, it disappeared about a second after I'd seen it.
"Hm…" I said. I looked at this little egg thing that appeared today. It had a little black trident on it, and faded from a violent shade of red to pitch black. "Maybe Bri has one!" I thought excitedly. When I felt like…well, evil…I had that necklace thing. And Bribio acted like a total school nerd, which was…odd, for her. She'd been different ever since we transferred to Seiyo. She MUST have one of these egg things. They could be the only explanation for the weird changes of character. I crept downstairs (luckily Kukai didn't catch me-he was cooped up in his room) and went to the refrigerator. I pulled out a chicken egg. The surface wasn't as smooth as my egg's, nor was it the same size, but…my plan might work.
"Who's down there?" Kukai called. Shoot. I forgot he watches the security channel tape. Howcome he gets a TV in his room and I don't?"
"It's just me," I said. "I was hungry," I lied.
"Alright," he yelled down. I heard his bed creak, which meant he probably went back to bed.
I slowly went back up the stairs, then crept into Bribio's room. "Wow. This was just too easy," I said, spotting a green egg in her hand. She'd fallen asleep with her egg in her arms. It was the same size as mine. I slipped it out of her hand, and slipped in the chicken one. "I promise I'll give it back," I whispered, even thought I knew she couldn't hear me. I crept back to my room.
I held both of the eggs under the light of my zebra stripe lamp. They looked the same size, and were both smooth…"Wait a second…Bribio's is…"
"BRIBIO!" I yelled. I ran into her room and grabbed her arm. She stood up, so I was able to pull her to my room.
"What are you doing with that?" Bribio sleepily asked, pointing at her green egg with the chalk writing on it. "Give it back," she said, putting the chicken egg on my desk. She snatched back the green one.
Bribio's Pov
"I'm sorry I didn"t a-" she began.
"No!" Bribio cried. There was a long green crack on it. "You broke it," she whispered in a sad tone that made my heart splinter.
"Hey!" Kukai yelled, letting himself in to Ashi's room. "What is…" he looked at the egg with the trident in my hands, the green one in Bri's hands, but then both of us looked at his hands. There was one with a star on it, the star that matched what had appeared in his hair.
"Hey! You never told me you had Guardian eggs!" Kukai said.
"Look at mine," Bribio sobbed. The crack looked bigger and longer. Ironically, it split in the center, like it was…
"HATCHING!" Kukai and I yelled at the same time. We scared Bribio, and she nearly dropped the egg.
"Careful!" Bribio scolded us. But we were right. Something was about to come out of the egg. A little…person? What looked like a mini human arm was poking its way out.
Bribio-Gotta go! There's chapter one. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review for me!
