********************CHAPTER 2: CRYSTAL****************
I spent the whole afternoon trying to forget all that Final Fantasy stuff that was wandering on my head the past hours.
Luckly for me (or maybe not too luckly) I got a lot of homework from all my classes, so I didn't get any free time to think about Final Fantasy, and since Cat attends almost the same classes at me, i'm sure she'll be almost as busy as me, so she won't call me to read that magazine for me. That magazine became a problem already, I was even thinking to ask Jade to "dissapear" that Magazine, but then I thought that Cat can always buy a new one, besides I don't like to ask Jade to do something for me, or she'll be remembering that every time she can to annoy me.
I was about to finish an essay for Sikowitz about the theater when my I listened cellphone ringing, I looked who was calling: It was Cat. For a second i thought not to answer because if she started reading for me I will have a really bad time finishing all the work I had left, but then I thought it'll be a little cruel so I picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Hi Tori" said her beaming as usual
"Hi Cat" i said smiling
"Are you done with all the homework?" asked her curious
"Not yet" i said snorting "I'm about to finish Sikowitz's essay but i still have a lot of things to do"
"Oh I see" answered her "I have some work left to do too"
"Then, Why are you calling me?" I say between confused and funny
"I wanted to ask you something" said her a little serious
"I'm listening" I said a little worried, and hoping whatever Cat wanted to ask me has nothing to do with the magazine.
"Well..." started her "My dad was watching the news and they said that someone donated a cute cristal to the museum, and I was wondering if you wanna go see it?, I asked Jade to go with me but she said no"
"Oh" I said calming down and sighing relieved "sure, why not?"
"YAY!" said her beaming "we'll go after school okay?, you can bring Trina if you want"
"Why would I bring Trina?" I said a little confused
"Did somebody said my name?" said my sister appeared out of nothing, it was unbelievable how she could listen from her room and rush towards mine only by listening her name
"Oh" I said a little stunned "it's nothing, I'm talking on the phone with Cat, she wants you to come with us tomorrow to the museum" I told her, knowing that she would never go to the museum, she hates museums
"is it to see that crystal they've talked about on the news?" asked her for my surprise with her brown eyes glowing "I'll go, say Cat thanks on my part"
"Wait, Trina!" i said trying to fix my mistake
"Later!" answered her "I have some important things to do!"
"Okay..." I said regreting for inviting her "Cat, Trina's going with us"
"That's amazing!" said her happier than ever "then i'll see you tomorrow, i have a lot of home work, Bye!"
"Bye Cat"
After that call I had to work faster to finish all my homework, it was almost midnight when I finally finished it, so I didn't even bothered to change my clothes and i went to sleep right away.
Thankfully I was so tired that I didn't dreamed about anything but a really weird song that I cannot describe, I'm sure that Cat was humming it all day yesterday, and if I wasn't so tired I'm sure would've dreamed about that game again,
but after all that essays, scripts and drawings, my mind was completly exhausted.
I woke up humming that song i've listened in my dreams, it was kinda catchy, and nothing unusual happened that morning.
"Hey Tori" said Trina while we were heading Hollywood arts"Did you had another epic dream last night?"
"Why do you ask?" I said kinda worried, maybe I screamed while asleep again?...
"Just wondering" said her grinning "it was kinda interesting to listen to your story yesterday"
"Oh," I answered "Well I didn't dreamed anything but a song"
"Sing for me" said her
"Excuse me?!" I asked completly shocked, Trina never asked me to sing for her... Actually she never asked me anything, we usually sat down in the car silently until we arrived Hollywod Arts...
"Come on, Sis!" said Trina almost pouting "Sing for me!, It's kinda boring to drive silently you know?!"
"It's just a tune actually" I answered still a little surprised "I've been humming it since i woke up"
"Oh," said Trina a little dissapointed "Well, the tune's kinda catchy, what's the name of the song?"
"I have no idea" I answered honestly "I'm pretty sure Cat was singing it yesterday, you should ask her"
"I see..." said Trina and then she didn't said anything
"Can i ask you something?" it was my turn
"Sure" said Trina between excited and confused, it was kinda unusual for us to talk 'that much' during out way to HA
"Why are you so interested on my dreams?" I said quickly
"They're funny to listen" said her simply "like I said before, sometimes I get bored while heading Hollywood arts, it was nice to listen your crazy yet epic dream"
"Any other reason?" I insisted
"No, why?" answered her confused
"It's nothing" I said, at least I knew why Trina was so interested on my dreams, nothing important as I thought, I don't know why I feel that she's lying to me, but with Trina you never know, so I liked to believe she was telling me the truth,
I kept humming that song without realizing and Trina was waving her head as I was singing and moving her mouth like if she knew the rythm of the song, there was still one thing I wanted to know.
"Why did you wanted to come to the museum with Cat and me?" i said so sudden that she startled
"Well today you're asking a lot of stuff" said her but she didn't looked like if she was annoyed by it, in fact she looked happier with every question "I really want to see that crystal, it's really beautiful, now let's go or we're gonna be late"
When i turned around i realized that we were in HA already, usually the car trips with Trina were extremly long, annoying and sometimes boring, but that day we arrived at School before i could realize, and she was pretty nice...
Trina left to her Locker, not without reminding me that she'll go to the museum with me and Cat and call me Little Warrior again.
And talking about Cat, i saw her walking behind Jade, who looked really really annoyed, one thing i saw (and i was grateful about it) was that Cat wasn't Carring the magazine anymore.
"Come on Jade" was saying Cat "Please!"
"Cat" said Jade turning around, she looked like if she was about to hit the girl "for the last time, NO!"
"Pwease" said Cat with those big eyes she used against me
"Don't do that!" said Jade more annoyed
"Do what?" asked the redhead innocently
"You know i hate when you babytalk!" answered the goth
"Pwease come to the museum with Towi, Twina and me" said Cat with baby voice
"OKAY!" yelled Jade "just leave me alone already"
"YAY!" said Cat and walked away, I'm a little happy that she didn't saw me.
Jade walked near to me, i couldn't let the change go...
"So she convinced you?" I said grinning
"Shut up Vega" said her a little annoyed and walked away, but then I remembered she got interested in my dream too
"Hey Jade" I said quickly
"What do you want now?" said her turning around but not stopping
"I wanted to ask you something"
"Do it quickly" said her still walking away
"Why were you so interested about my dream?" I had to scream because she was almost at the end of the hallway, luckly there was nobody around
"I wasn't interested" said her a little nervous and walked away, she looked kinda ashamed about the question, which is weird coming from Jade.
I went to my locker to pick up the things i would use that day and walked to my first class thinking that it was a really unusual day.
Cat was so excited all day, giggling for herself as always but I knew she was that exited for the visit to the museum we'll make today.
She talked a lot with Jade during classes, and sometimes Cat turned around to see me.
When the bell for the lunchtime rang, Cat jumped from her seat giggling "Yay!" and ran towards me, I was a little nervous for all the staring.
"Hey Tori" she said smiling "wont you ask me the question?"
"Question?"
"Yeah, the one you asked Jade this morning" said her with her eyes glowing in excitment
"Oh, that one" I asked smiling, so that's why she was staring at me so much... "Cat, you and I know that you're interested on my dream because of the Final Fantasy connections" She giggled
"And that's why i want to see the crystal" said her
"Because of my dream?!"
"No, for the Final Fantasy connections" answered her and took the magazine out of her backpack "See? Crystals appear in almost every single Final Fantasy game"
"Oh... i see" i said a little nervous
"Don't worry" said her putting the magazine in her backpack again "i won't read for you..." said her like if she was reading my mind "so you said Trina will come with us?"
"Yeah," I said still not being able to believe it "I'm really surprised, she hates museums"
"Well the crystal is really pretty" said Cat with a smile
"That's what she said..." I answered thoughtful "Oh well, I think we'll have a good time"
"Why would you think we wont?" Asked her confused
"Well, you know," I said carefully "Trina it's kind of annoying sometimes..."
"She's a little weird" said Cat it was a little ironic "but she's your sister, you should love her you know?" Again, Cat showed her ability of being honest but happy at the same time, she made me feel a little bad.
We bought our lunch and walked towards a table, she took out the magazine again and started to read.
I didn't know why I was so attracted to that Magazine, more than once I stared at some pages while Cat was reading, and when I realized that I turned around immediatly, a few times, I think Cat saw me because she giggled.
I was staring at a picture of a person with rabbit ears and i remembered that Jade had rabbit ears on my dream, I was about to ask Cat about that, but someone screamed behind me and made me startle
"Hey Girls!" it was Trina
"Oh my god Trina! you scared me so bad!" I said breathing harshly
"Yeah, yeah" said her ignoring as always "we're going to the museum after school, Right?"
"Of course" said Cat and closed the magazine, I felt both relieved and really curious at the same time
"Ok, just asking to make sure" said Trina winking "see ya later girls!"
She walked away like if nothing happened, and actually now that I think it, nothing happened, I was just getting curious about Final Fantasy again, and i didn't wanted to, so for the first time, i'm glad Trina scared me.
Besides of that moment everything was pretty normal, and the classes lasted less than i expected.
Cat, Jade and Me were waiting Trina, she'll take us to the museum, but as i expected she showed up 30 minutes late, Jade was seething, and Cat, well you must know by now: She was reading the magazine.
"What took you so long?" I asked a little annoyed
"Well, excuse me" she snapped "I'm a really busy person"
"Lets go already" said Jade almost excited, but then she shifted her tone to anger again "I wanna finish this as fast as possible."
The Car trip to the museum couldn't be more normal, Jade was kinda angry of being there, Cat put away the magazine and started to giggle random stuff about the crystal and Trina was humming the song that I was humming in the morning.
We arrived to the museum faster than I thought.
"Okay" said Jade "Let's get this over with"
We walked inside the museum, looking nothing in our way to the crystal, Cat was hopping around and making noises, Jade looked weird, like if she was angry but excited at the same time, and Trina wasn't paying attention at all.
After a few seconds we arrived to the crystal, I was really impresed, I've never seen something like that:
It was at least 6 feet tall, with 4 different colors (Blue, Red, Green and Yellow) glowing everywhere and it was really shiny , it looked like if it was a giant colorful light bulb
"Oh my gosh" said Cat beaming and with shaky voice "it's prettier than I thought"
"I have to say this is incredible" said Jade as excited as Cat "but too colorful for me"
Trina was speechles, her eyes were sparkling with the colors of the crystal, it was the first time i saw my sister paying so much attention to something.
"I gotta say it, i've never seen something like this" i said gasping
No one said nothing for a while, we were just staring at the sparkling beautiful crystal, I didn't knew how much time we were watching it.
"Okay" said Jade snapping everyone out of their thoughts "enough crystal, now let's go"
"But i haven't made my wish yet" said Cat
"Your what?" asked Trina
"My wish" repeatedd Cat "according to the Final Fantasy magazine, a four colored Crystal contains the powers of wind, earth, water and fire so it can grant a wish to anyone who touches it"
"ho ho "said someone behind us", so this cute girl knows how this crystal works...
