I Capture the CandyMan
Summary: Everyone has a secret. Some you just want to tell, others you want to hide from the world. And for Rose, Parker, London and Lucky, their secret is already out. They are the most imfamous people to ever be put into S.S.W(Secret Society of Witches) But when Queen Aredalla sends them on a mission to travel between their home of "Purple Moon" to "The Milky Way" in order to bring back a certain chocolate maker, things get Wicked.
My story "Sweet Seduction" is in the making so be sure to look at that! And now, one of my more worked upon stories.
"You look beautiful ladies! Queen Aredalla is going to be blown away" the girls hair and makeup stylist, Jacob commented. He was one of the most handsome alien beings ever to grace the cover of "Fabulous" ever. The man proved that purple skin is the new green and wearing sunglasses indoors is way better than showing off your eyes. However, when he did show them they were the most elegant and coveted rainbow coloured eyes ever. Jacob would always wear skin tight leather track suits with shiny black boots. The attire often got people curious as to if he was gay. And in in fact in December 2005, Jacob admitted the truth to "Celeb World" That of course didn't stop girls from adoring him and it certainly didn't stop the four new sisters, recently brought into S.S.W, from hiring him as their new stylist.
"How does it look?" London asked her sisters from her makeup chair. A frail young woman, who London insulted for having "disgusting tresses", was desperately trying to apply makeup, while she looked at her sisters spread in "Witch Weekly"
"Why don't you pick up you lazy head and look in the mirror!" Parker said dryly. Parker was one of the meanest girls of the bunch. She was the first to be jealous of the new handbag you got, first to insult you if you got in her way in the store, and first to spread nasty false rumous. For Parker, the chance to be in S.S.W, was a reason to brag. And the people kept their distance, She was beautiful with her cropped purple hair(for the girl couldn't stand having the same hair colour as others) golden brown skin and glittering green eyes. Hours of dental surgery had given Parker a movie star smile.
"Well, maybe I will look up! I'm getting tired of looking at your ugly face in this magazine, Parker!" London spat. Due to her sudden outburst, the lady doing her makeup smudged her peach pink lipgloss that she was working on.
"Now look what you did, loser! You wrecked my perfect pout! Jacob, I want another artist!" London complained. The girl's constant yelling often sent people away and wrecked her beautiful face with her snarling. London was more of a classic beauty. She had an artsy way of dressing, alot of times looking like she just stepped out of the 1950's. London had a face as deeply tanned, and eyes that were as glittering green as Parker's. However, she had long curly black hair that was wonderfully shown off when she was at the clubs. Her outfits were always original, can't-get-anywhere-else-unless-you-are-me elegant. Lots of short, strapless white and black dresses and diamonds. Diamonds on her fingers, her ears and her neck.
"So what's Queen Aredalla really like Jacob?" Lucky asked, ignoring her sisters bikering. It happened almost all the time, yet for some reason it was always between London and Parker. Maybe that was because Rose and Lucky were adopted kids.
"She can be nice...but only if you do as she says! Aredalla is a very commanding person." Jacob explained, spraying Parker's hair with hairspray. He stopped for a moment. "She also has an extreme weakness to chocolate. I have to go to the finest chocolate stores to purchase those delights. But lately..." here Jacob trailed of at that time.
Lucky looked up from "Celeb World" to look at her stylist. "Lately?..."
Jacob sighed and went back to Parker's hair. "Lately, she has been disapproving of the stuff that is in the salon during her appointments. She says that it's not good enough."
London was standing up now, searching for another makeup artist. "Then go to a better chocolate store" London said. Jacob turned around and snapped his fingers, thus bringing a brand new makeup artist to handle London.
"Thank you Jacob!" London said giddly running back to her chair.
Lucky stared at London. "Wow! You said thank you. Now that's something to put in the magazines!"
London hissed like a cat in response. Lucky just laughed.
The new makeup artist turned out to alot better than the previous. Not only was the woman well groomed, but she also knew that when Parker threw a bad remark at London, that was the time to stop applying makeup and wait for things to cool down. After about an hour had passed the girls waited in the lobby for Rose's arrival. She was in another room than Parker, London and Lucky were because she was getting a different treatment for her face and hair. Parker had taken Lucky's magazine, and was now reading it while blowing big pink bubble gum.
"How much longer? I can't stand waiting any longer! We are going to be late, thanks to her!" Parker spat.
"It's not her fault. She will be coming soon. Hold your horses!" Lucky defended. Parker rolled her eyes and went back to chewing her gum.
All of a sudden, a very glammed up girl came into the lobby.
"Sorry I'm late. Everyone was making such a fuzz over me to look pretty just because we are going to see Queen Aredalla" Rose said.
"Rose! You look beautiful!" Lucky said in awe. Rose smiled.
"Aw...look at you Lucky!" Rose commented.
Rose and Lucky never really worried about how they looked. There were so many magazines showing them running out of hotels with bedhead hair. However, today was special. Unlike Parker and London, Rose and Lucky had pale skin. They were both wearing white cocktail dresses and stick straight blond hair with matching black heels and blood red lipstick. They looked like twins. Even their eyes were the same ocean blue colour.
"Come on! If we hurry we can catch a space shuttle over to "Shadow Planet" " London said, getting up.
Shadow Planet was of course, the famed planet where Queen Aredalla lived and where headquarters for S.S.W was.
"You got the invitation?" Lucky asked Rose, when they got into the warm fresh air.
"Yeah" Rose responded, taking another look at it.
Congraulations!
I, Queen Aredalla invite you: (there were four blank lines filled in with the names London, Lucky, Parker and Rose in gold handwriting) to join the coveted group Secret Society of Witches. Be warned! To rise in the ranks you must learn to prove yourselves. Only then, can you become true powerful witches.
I look forward to meeting you on: August 6th,2006
5:00 pm
Shadow Planet: S.S.W HeadQuarters, Room 255
P.S. Show your invitation at the door to gain entry. And please, wear something nice!
Till then, Queen Aredalla
"Ruler of Purple Moon Galaxy"
"Let's go!" Parker shouted to Rose, who in reading the invitation had fallen behind.
"Coming!" Rose called.
Two hours later, the girls found themselves in Room 255. The room didn't have the grand power that Rose would have expected of the place.
The place was large, with blue carpeting and black painted walls. In the centre of the room, was a large table surrounded by black leather chairs. The table was so shiny you could see your face in it.
"Ladies? Your late! Queen Aredalla waits for no one!" came a voice. Then out of the shadows, came a man dressed in a nice suit.
"The meeting was an hour ago, ladies! Where were you?"
"Stupid traffic" Parker muttered under her breath. London nudged her in the ribs to keep her quiet.
"No matter. Queen Aredalla asked me to give you this" the man said, handing London a gold envelope with a purple seal, showing a picture of an eagle taking flight.
"Now be gone!" The man barked. "There are other matters that have to be dealt with in this room"
The girls nodded and left.
"I can't believe we missed the meeting! There goes our chance of being respected" London said dryly.
"Well, what does the letter say?" Rose asked.
London shrugged and broke the seal. Inside was a piece of pink paper with writing in gold ink.
Is it too much to ask to come to a single meeting? That should have been the simplest part of being in S.S.W!
But since you four are quite the known people on your planet I will let you do this one mission.
As you may have heard my favourite food is chocolate. However, lately the candy has failed to be as delicious as before. I have asked my workers about possible candy makers. They came up with this. In a far off galaxy "The Milky Way" there is a planet called Earth. It is here that it said that humans(much like us) are loving this famous candy maker. He goes by the name of Mister William Wonka.
Here is your mission. Travel to Earth and bring me that candyman! Do not rest until you have. Do not return until you have.
I need my chocolate!
If you comply and do bring me William, you will get a handsome reward.
Till then, Queen Aredalla
"Ruler of Purple Moon Galaxy"
"What does it say?" Lucky asked.
"We are going to the Milky Way" London said slowly, still horror struck.
"As in the galaxy?" Parker yelled, grabbing the letter.
"But we have never even been outside Purple Moon" Rose protested. "What does Queen Aredalla want us to do?"
"She wants us to bring us some candyman named William Wonka. He is apparantly quite the candyman on Earth"
"Leave our galaxy just Queen Aredalla can get some chocolate? No way!" London pouted. Parker smacked her hard in the back.
"There is a handsome reward. I bet you could buy that pair of shoes you wanted, London" Parker tempted. London's head sprang up.
"Let's go!" London said.
The four girls headed toward the elevator. Parker jabbed the down button. The elevator came quickly and the doors slid open.
"How are we going to get him to come to Purple Moon?" Lucky asked.
"Please Lucky! I am a young and beautiful women and he is a guy. He won't be able to resist me!" London said.
"Why do you get to seduce him?" Parker yelled.
London smiled. "Isn't it obvious?" she asked, showing off her pearly white teeth.
Rose rolled her eyes. "But that is fake love! I don't think it is right to falsely give him the wrong signals, only for him to find out this is all a trap!"
"Rose, you have to understand honey! It's all about keeping in with the trends and right now, betrayal is so in vogue" Parker answered, as the doors to the elevator closed shut.
So what did you guys think? Is this better than my other stories?
Note: I am still working on "Sweet Seduction" so stay tuned for that.
