I stretched myself out in my bed after a good nights sleep in my cousins cottage. The voice of my cousin, Lexi, talking to one of the villagers. 'It seems they brought a dog this time'. After hours of pondering about life, I get out of bed and get dressed in my blue green dress and head downstairs to find my hairbrush. On my way down, I pass the window and see that the chicken coop seemed to have collapsed. Sighing I go down the stairs to find Lexy busy in the living room with some papers.
"Morning," I said in a slow grouchy voice.
"Oh, morning Max!" Lexi responded in a cheery voice. "I made you some tea and pancakes."
"Great, thanks," said I and walked over to a small dining table which had some deliciously smelling pancakes and some black tea. I gabbed them and went over to the living room where I put my breakfast down on the coffee table and sat down next to Lexi. "What's that you got there?" I asked looking over her shoulder with a mouthful of delicious strawberry pancakes.
"It's just a thank you letter from a villager," she said folding it up and putting it down on the coffee table. "So how's the food?"
With my mouth overflowing with pancakes, I nod and put my thumbs up. After finally swallowing the food, I put down my plate and looked over at my cousin. "The Chicken coop was broken, I think its the foxes again. You should sort it out. If you need help fixing it just give me a shout."
"Oh no, I'll get it done quickly!" she said and quickly rushed out of the house. I stood up, grabbed the hairbrush and began brushing my short green hair. I gained my mothers looks but my dads talents and characteristics. I always wanted to look more like my dad, he looked more normal? I was tall, curvy and pale with red eyes, I hated the color red.
Pretty soon, Lexi came back soaked and covered in feathers. I could hardly keep in my laughter as she dripped onto the floor. "Pfft... Hahaha!" I fell to my knees with laughter. "Oh my! Did you try using magic again?" I asked panting and picking myself up from the floor. She nodded in response with a rather glum look. "Hey don't worry, I'll dry you up Lexi," I said as I took my wand from my pocket and placed it in my hand. "Wind dry this object that stands before me, Netsu Kanso!"
As the words left my mouth, a jet of hot air sprayed from my wand and enveloped Lexy. All the feathers dropped of her and lightly fell to the ground. Lexy thanked me, I was just about to reply but... "Lexi Zelana and Maxine Hart... Is this the house of Lexy Zelana and Maxine Hart?" We heard a male voice from the other side of the door Lexi just shut.
'I know this voice from somewhere!' I thought and grinned to myself. "Huh? I wonder who it is," Lexi said an hurried over and opened the door but to her surprise no one was there. "Huh...? That's weird..." I walked over to her and lifted her head upwards. When she looked up she gasped, there floating in the air was a... piece of paper? "Why is that paper flying?"
"How Rude are you miss Zelana! Don't call me a piece of 'paper'!" I just managed not to burst out laughing again by puffing my cheeks and holding my mouth. The paper welcomed itself into the house and floated a bit lower. "Ahem. I am the Acceptance letter from Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy!" As the paper said that, it curled back almost like being proud.
"Gedolune... The acceptance letter...?" Lexi's mind became absent for the moment. As it did, I smiled and stepped forward to greet the letter.
"Well, well... isn't it nice to see a capable student returning to our ranks Miss Hart?" Said the Acceptance letter bending the top part of itself back and forward as if we was nodding in approval.
I smiled back at the letter. "It's nice too see you too Mr. Acceptance Letter, Sir." I couldn't help but grin at the parchment. I was expecting for it to arrive but nether her less, it made me happy
"Wait... The Acceptance Letter... from Gedonelune Magic Academy?!"Shouted Lexi and without thinking, she clutched the paper in her hands.
"Hey! what do you think you're doing?! Take your hands of me!"
"Oops... S-sorry..." Lexi stuttered and now I couldn't suppress my laugh as Lexi, in a fluster, released the letter from her hands.
"Well, Lexy, took you long enough!" I said smacking her on the shoulder which made her nose scrunch up.
"Oh boy! what were you thinking putting those wet hands all over me? I'm so wet now!" the acceptance letter exclaimed. "What would you do if I got damaged and the ink started to run? Huh?"
"I... I'm terribly sorry.."
"First of all, why are you wet anyway?"
"Um, It's kind of complicated..."
"She tried using a levitating spell," I said and giggled and my breath.
"H-hey Max! why did you say that?" Lexi asked quietly but in a dangerous voice. Her cheeks became red in an instant. "W-well... so you are really one... Right?
"Hmph! How dare you ask me so! 'The real one'!? Of course! I'm the genuine acceptance letter of Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy!" The acceptance letter said in a voice that sounded like someone through him into the rubbish and tore him up.
"So I'm not just dreaming..." Lexi stammered backwards and sat down on a chair.
I smiled at her. "I know what you're thinking... How could a wizardess as bad as you with magic possibly be accepted to a top notch magical school, Right?"
"Max.. your so mean!" she mumbled and I laughed.
"Don't worry, I'm just teasing you!" I said and turned back to the letter. "So when are we leaving Mr. Acceptance letter?"
"As soon as possible! I'm on a tight schedule and I dislike being late on my visits to future students," the letter said and looked around the room for a clock. "My next visit is more up north, I am supposed to arrive at ten o'clock today!"
"So late?" I asked and he nodded once again. With a flash of my wand and a couple of sentences a big trunk full my school supplies, which I didn't unpack since I last returned, came flying down the flight of stairs. I was fully energized once again and excited to go on another wonderful adventure with the Royal Gedonelune Magic Academy. "Well, Lexi, it's time to get packing!"
