Alright. Let's see if I can (Successfully) mush together Snow White and Magical Starsign! (My heroine is a light mage named Chloe) Snow White will appear in later chapters…
Disclaimer: I don't own Magical Starsign or Snow White.
My lashes fluttered open and I looked around. It was quiet. Unusually quiet for Will-o-Wisp academy's dorm room. My clock glowed next to me telling me it was only 7:00. Rolling over I saw Lassi, she was still fast asleep in her bed.
My friend Lassi was a very humanlike bunny-girl with a huge curiosity. Don't let her catch you calling her bunny-girl though, she seriously doesn't like it. Lassi's blonde hair was all messed up and she had major bed-head.
Despite the cold room temperature, I got up and tiptoed across the floor to the bathroom. I only got up to pee and then I looked at my reflection.
God I looked like hell. I fixed my blonde hair and made it back to its usual springy curls. Next I washed my face and put on some zit-cream (I was having a slight acne problem). After cleaning myself up I got out of the bathroom only to find a very sleepy Lassi on the other side of the door complaining about how long I'd taken.
I got dressed. I headed out of the dorm and to a bigger room. This bigger room consisted of couches and cushions and a TV. This room connected all the dorms. Out there sitting on the couch was my friend Mokka.
Mokka was a brown robot who tended to be sarcastic and had a really big heart. Principal Biscotti bought him at a curiosity a few years back. Mokka could use earth magic. Naturally Mokka and I were friends, we were the ones who didn't care for gossip and didn't follow any particular crowd. We were our own person.
"Hello Chloe," Mokka made room for me to sit next to him. I nodded my head in response.
I didn't talk much and no one was quite sure why. It was just a fact everyone accepted about me. Lassi, the chatter-box had the hardest time accepting it.
"On this date Miss Madeleine has been gone three months," Mokka said. I didn't do anything but he knew I was listening. Miss Madeleine was our spell teacher. She taught us how to use our powers to help us and how to fight with them. Miss Madeleine had to go away to a planet called Puffoon to go take down some guy who was causing trouble over there. Apparently he was her student or something…
I started gazing at the TV. We were watching some reality show that I'd never heard of. Next outside was Pico, a fire mage. He had dark circles under his eyes the size of the moon. His red hair was flat on one side and it looked funny.
"Where's Sorbet?" Pico asked right off. It wasn't exactly a secret that Pico liked her. To answer Pico's question Sorbet walked out from her dorm right at that moment. She yawned stretching her arms high in the air and then walked over to Pico.
"What's up?" The beautiful water magician asked Pico. Pico smiled. Actually it was more of a smirk; either way you could tell what he was thinking.
Sorbet was another one of my friends. She was a little bossy and manipulating but I liked her just the same.
"Mokka, did you say it's been three months since Miss Madeleine's been gone?" Sorbet asked obviously listening in on our conversation earlier.
"Correct," Mokka said turning to face Sorbet.
"She's been gone a long time… Do you think something happened to her?" Sorbet asked.
"Doubt it," Pico said. Just then another door opened and my salamander friend Chai came out. Yes, Chai was a magic using salamander and therefore he was a freak of nature and his parents neglected him. Chai could use wood magic which turned out to be pretty handy.
Chai was a crybaby so we all stood up for him when he was bullied.
"What are we talkin' about?" Chai asked plopping down on a couch with us. Most kids who came out of their dorms headed straight for the dining hall so they could eat breakfast. This made us oddballs by they're standards. We all liked to do things at our own pace and a little different and that's kind of what got us to be friends.
"Miss Madeleine has been gone for three months now," Sorbet said.
"Really?" Chai asked, "It seems like it's been a lot longer…"
"Yeah, I know man. But she'll be back soon. She's probably off taking a vacation somewhere." Pico said trying to comfort an upset Chai.
"Hey, where's Lassi?" Mokka asked searching around the room. Everyone turned to look at me.
I shrugged my shoulders and headed back to the dorm to check for her. Lassi's bed was still messy but she wasn't there. I checked our bathroom. Her towel was in a damp mess on the floor and her hairbrush sat on the counter. No Lassi. Where could she be?
"Was she in there?" Chai asked. I shook my head hating the look of disappointment on his face.
"We should look for her!" Pico announced getting to his feet.
We all followed Pico out the door and spread out searching. We couldn't find her anywhere and Pico seemed to grow an interest in the cafeteria food.
I went upstairs and asked Chai if he'd seen anything.
"Chloe, you should go upstairs to the janitor's closet. Sorbet said she saw something suspicious up there but I thought she was nuts." Chai pointed to a small door up a floor.
I walked in the room and sure enough Sorbet was of in the corner ranting on about how weird this wall looked and how you could climb it. I wasn't buying it until Mokka came in and said he could detect Lassi's footprints with his cool robo-senses.
"I'll go back and tell the others what we found! Lassi must have snuck up here while we were all talking." And with that Sorbet left the room.
"Are you going to climb it Chloe?" Mokka asked through the silence. I nodded and heaved myself up and over the wall.
The next room had a huge door… With a FACE on it. I walked up to it and touched it trying to push it open. And then the door started talking.
The doors 'mouth' told me I had to show off my light magic to get through. I, for once, talked loud.
"Crystal Mirrors, shining hearth, bring forth your warmth and light to lead me, Sparkle in the gloom, Shine so bright under the sun and create a new ray." Those words that drew up my light power always amazed me. They made me feel, full. Complete. It sent a shock through my arms as blinding light shot from my hands. The light filled the dark smelly closet with serenity and happiness.
I giggled, which is something I don't usually do. I almost forgot Mokka was there until there was a clang of metal and the door opened; bringing me back to reality.
"Chloe, you opened the door!" Mokka said as he walked in.
I heard footsteps behind us and Sorbet had brought Pico and Chai with her.
"We're all here," Sorbet said.
"Lassi's footprints lead up the ladder," Mokka pointed ahead. There was a humongous ladder in front of us that I couldn't see the top of.
"Whoa! That ladder sure is tall!" Chai exclaimed squinting his eyes to see the top.
"I'm going up!" Pico said as he jumped on the ladder and began to climb. We all climbed up and when we got to the top we were all amazed at the sight that beheld us.
Rockets. Six perfectly good Easter egg blue rockets sat in front of us.
"No freaking way!" Pico shouted.
"Do you think Lassi's in one of those?" Chai asked.
"I detect that the rocket there is ready for launch!" Mokka exclaimed.
"I bet Lassi's going after Miss Madeleine!" Sorbet said.
We all sat flabbergasted as the top of the clock tower swung open and we could see a panoramic view of Kovomaka.
"Hey I can see my house from here!" Pico pointed in a far out direction. Sorbet elbowed him.
Smoke began to emit from Lassi's rocket and the school started a countdown of 70 seconds before the rocket began to grumble and shoot debris at us. We all ducked down and as her rocket left the surface. Lassi was gone. Shooting off to the abyss known as space.
When I looked up all I could see was a flash of light and her rocket disappeared from Kovomaka's atmosphere. I need to go after her, I thought.
Before anyone could say anything I jumped in the next rocket and began pushing random buttons. I could see my friends freaking out outside but I disregarded them.
The rocket finally responded when I pulled this red lever. It said it was 'initiating launch' or something. Then it started a 70 second countdown much like Lassi's and the next thing I knew I wasn't in on Kovomaka anymore.
I was in space rushing at like a zillion miles an hour. I only prayed I would find Lassi and not crash into a pile of space-junk.
I love reviews! Seriously I want to hear what you think. By the way, Snow White will show up in later chapters.
