I awoke the next morning to singing in the bathroom that Sky, Brandon, and Timmy shared. It sounded like Brandon. I rolled my eyes and threw the covers of myself. I then stood up and stretched. After, I put on my usual white winter hat, stuffed my hair into it, and walked out into the main little living room hang out in our dorm. ( A:N, I have no Idea what they're called *shrugs* ).
Helia was sitting on the sofa writing something while readin a book. He looked up to see me. "Good Morning, Kozuko. Sleep well?"
I rubbed my eyes and shrugged. Riven was sitting across from Helia in another sofa chair reading the newspaper. Despite Riven's toughnest, and Helia's softness, they are very similar. "Hey Kuzoku, we're heading to Magix later. Wanna come?"
I grinned a bit and sat on the arm rest of his chair. "I'm almost afraid to ask, why?"
Riven laughed and Helia smiled. "We're meeting up with our dates for the dance." Helia said. I shot him the knowing look he knew meant, ' I'm not interested.' "I know what your thinking. But they're all very nice girls."
I rolled my eyes again. "What are their names?" I asked annoyed walking toward the bathroom with terrible noise coming from it, , Brandon's singing.
Riven laughed."You can't judge them by their names."
I chuckled."Sure I can! DAMMIT BRANDON SHUT UP!" I shouted getting frustrated and kicking the door.
The door opened and shirtless Brandon stood in the door way of it. He leaned down and pinched my nose as if I was a little kid, always taking advantage of my "boyish" look and me being short. "It's alright lil Kuzoku! You'll be able to sing like me some day! You just have to practice, and maybe hit puberty! And also, you shouldn't swear and-"
I kicked him in the shin.
He grunted in pain."And NOT do that...ow..."
Sky walked in wearing the usual. "Hey guys. So are you gonna come with us Kuzoku?"
I shrugged. Being around females might get my inner feamle to want to come out! But I want to make sure my dim-wit friends know who they're hanging with. I sighed,"I guess..."
Sky smirked."We got Turtle to come out of his shell!"
"Don't call me that!" I shouted going to my room to get ready for our trip the Magix. By the way, Turtle is my nickname. When I first came to the group of stupidity, they couldn't pronounce my name right. Was it two U's or two O's? They would ask. Then one day Sky referanced my anti-social person to a turtle and it's stuck... but I hate it.
I put on my regular clothes and meet them outside by the level bikes. "I don't undertsand why we have to leave so early when it takes girls 6 months to get ready..." I said aloud.
They all ignored my comment and we sped off. We usualy follow Sky or Riven to our destination, this time however, I turned left. The others turned right! Yo, what was going on?!
I knew yelling was pointless so I gave a heavy sigh in frustration and chased after.
I discovered that the way my idiotic friends were taking, was the way to Alfea, School for Faries. How did I discover this? The hard way.
I sped to a stop infront of the court yard where my now haulted and chatting friends stood. My stop was very abrupt and unexpected, so all eyes on me... crap. Nononononononononono-no! Don't do something stupid!
"Who's he?" A pink haired one asked.
"A friend of ours." Timmy told her.
"Well thanks captain obvious!" A blonde said sarcasticaly. Then stomped her foot."Thanks to you my hair is messed up." I shrugged. Her head tilted to the side. "As a Princess of Solaria, I demand an apology!"
"Yeah that's not going to happen..." Brandon mumbled.
"What's the cupcake?" She asked Brandon sweetly batting her eyelashes.
Sky chuckled a bit. "Kuzoku here, doesn't even know how to pronounce the words 'I'm sorry' to a girl!"
"How come?" A quiet brunnet asked.
"He doesn't like people very much. Let alone girls." Helia informed the girl.
"Well he's about to learn right now!" The blonde yelled to me. "Starting with removing your helmet!"
Oh no... it could just be a rumor, but if a girl see's another girl she'll know! I backed away from her polished finger nailed hands and she laughed. "That's right be scared!"
"I wouldn't fight with Stella, bro." Brandon warned.
"Yeah, she's a Princess and gets what she wants." The red head said.
"Why are ya being so quiet Kuzoku?" Timmy asked.
"Is he loud?" Flora asked.
"No, he's just not usualy this quiet." Riven stated.
I lightly shived the blonde known as Stella away from me and she over dramaticaly fell to the ground. She went on about boys not hitting girls and all that crap I wasn't listening to. I took of my helment and put it down the handle bar. "Well Riven, you don't really plan somebody's murder out loud." I said in anger as I adjusted my white hat.
The blonde stood up and dusted off imaginary dust, put her hands on her hips, and walked away toward her... squire in shining armor? Whatever.
"Kuzoku, these are our dates for the dance. This is Flora." Helia said holding her small waist.
She waved a bit and smiled. "Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Flora Linphea, fairy of nature. Have you known Heia for long?"
"Im new to RF. Just entered at the begining of the year." I informed her.
She nodded."Neat."
"I'm Bloom Sparx- or, that's myreal name. My foster name is Bloom Heart. I'm the fairy of the dragon fire! Although I'm not very well at controlling it... anyways! I'm going with Sky." She said hugging Sky a bit.
"I'm Tecna Titania. I'm the fairy of Technology and I'm going with Timmy. He's really smart ya know." She blushed. So did Timmy, while adjusting his glasses, he does that when he's nervous or embaressed.
I smiled a bit but retrieved my cool act. "And you've met Stella Solaria. Princess of Solaria, fairy of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and my world."
Flora put her hands together."Aww, that's so sweet."
"Blah." I said plainly.
"Hey! At least I don't sound or look like a freakin' gay ass!" Stella shouted. Brandon grabbed her arm and pulled her to his chest. "What?!" She questioned.
Brandon mumbled something in her ear and she gave a O shaped face. I glared. I heard some conversation not far away. I turned my eye glance to a couple feet away to see fairies chatting and talking about us. Seemedas if our dear Stella had grabbed attention... probuably up her alley.
"The Specialists are os hot!"
"Sky is the hottest."
"But Brandon is the flirtatious one!"
"Helia is the sweet one."
"Timmy is the smarter one."
"Riven is the better fighter though!"
"Who's the little guy?"
"I don't know..."
"He's really short!"
"I'd never date him! It would look like a comic duo! I would be taller than him! Older than him too!"
"But he looks a bit boyish! Not manly!"
"Pfft! He looks more girly than boyish!"
I put on my helmet and started up my bike again. I turned my head around."If you boys are coming, then hurry it up. I'm leading."
The boys helped their girls on the back of their bikes, and gave them their helmets. I looked behind me to see Riven didn't have a girl. It then hit me that RIven didn't have a girl. I shrugged it off and looked in his eyes through the helmet. He looked behind him, back at me, and nodded letting me know they were ready.
I nodded, lifted my leg, and started at a slower speed. It was arule that on campus of a school, you have to go 10 mlph or less also within 2 blocks of the school grounds. Riven accelerated a bit and was next to me. He pointed to his ear. I clicked a button on my hemlet that allowed up to hear eachother like walkie talkies. "I'll race ya, Kuzoku!"
I smiled." Your on!" I replied back zooming off. We made swift turns and good dodges! To show off, purposley I must add, we made a high jump over a cliff. Once we were reached Magix, we were pumped up with energy and I had totally forgot what those girls were saying. No matter how tough he is, Riven always knows how to cheer me up, female or male.
"Could you guys have gone any slower? Literally!?" Timmy asked.
Riven and I laughed. We parked our bikes and headed down Magix Ave. The girls talked to their dates behind Riven and I. "Yo, Riv. You don't have a date?"
Riven shrugged."I don't really wanna go. I mean, girls and I... we don't have a good history."
My eyes were anime. "Seriously? I'd imagine you to be good with them."
He sighed hands in pockets.. "Well I'm not. Trust me, I'd much rather just train with you the whole night."
"Seriously? Why?"
He cracked a smile and gave a walking nuggie. I struggled with him. "Cuz your my buddy!" I laughed and used my main technique. I pinched him. But i mean pinched! I grabbed a fatty part on his arm ( not impossible to find ), pinched and twisted! He let go of me. I laughed and punched him in the arm. "Wonderful, I'll have a bruise for a bout a week now."
I laughed again. "Then we can both be Turtles!"
"Alright!" He laughed.
"It's a da-" I stopped myself. "It's on the daily calander! No dance for us! Yup! Under Turtle Time okay?" I saved. Why was I all of a sudden starting this up? I had never really stummbled like that!
"Hey guys I'm starving!" Stella complained.
"Yeah me too."Flora agreed,
"Let's get some Pizza!" Bloom called on a whim.
"Okay, sounds good." Tecna approved.
"Boys pay!" Stella called running toward the Pizzaria. What was that!? They can just call us to pay?! Unfair.
By the time we caught up, they had a table and were waiting on us. "We got half peperoni and half cheese. That alright with you?" Bloom asked Sky.
Sky sat down next to her."Yeah. I don't really care."
"Did you know pepperonii is the worste thng you could out on your pizza?" Tecna stated.
"No way Tecna!" Bloom fought.
"It's true, pepperonii is realloy fatty." Stella said.
"Now where did you learn that?" Bloom asked.
"Teen Fairy!" Stella replied.
"And you still eat it?" Flora asked.
"Pfft! Please! I'm not on any diet! Who wouldn't be confident in this body?" She said confidentaly.
Just then, music was heard. We turned our attention to a TV screen that was playing music videos. "It's Musa Melody's new song!" Sky said.
"Now she is a pretty girl." Riven said.
"Huh?" I asked. DON'T BLUSH AT THAT. Please c'mon I've never done it till now! I begged myself.
"She is pretty, she just uses it in the wrong way." Stella said being a fashion star.
"Cuz she keeps her bits and pieces covered?" Helia asked. Flora laughed at that.
"No! Just... her style!"
"She does have stylists ya know." I said. It was true. I did and they all liked my cool tom boy, emo, cool fashion.
"Turtle emerges!" Brandon laughed.
I glared and raised my hand." Shh!" Bloom said watching the screen. We all shut up and watched the screen. There was a piano melody that started it.
When I was, a young girl
My Mother,
First taught me to play,the piano
She told me, the stories. Of her, and my Father.
A love story, a reality.
She said, "One day, you'll be there.
Not a common pair, but rather a connection,
Between you and them."
She said," Will you promise me, one thing?
That you will always stay strong,
And face your fearsome person?"
The music got more emotional with the guitars joining in with the piano, then they all took one last long note. The drums started a drum down and the music got heavy guitar!
Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me.
Then other times I know that I'm alone.
But through it all, Rise and Fall.
Party or on the street!
We all have to learn one lesson on our own,
To stay strong!
To stay strong,
Although your dead and Dad won't understand me,
I must learn how to stay strong!
Forever is long,
Cause in my heart I will contain it,
Emotions to control it,
This Man keeps on skinning
My blessed self esteem
"Your Misery and Hate Will Kill Us All!"
"There are no Rainbows, Just the Rain That Won't go Away!
Rainbows appear if you stay strong," and
Carry On!
So Carry On!
And though your dead and Dad won't understand me,
Your memories will Carry On!
On and On,
And though I'm Broken, Damned, Defeated,
Your weary little voice is-
On and On "Face your fearsome person!"
Woah oh oh
Disappointment, Rage, Blood, Tears Possible Revolution?
( Oh oh oh oh! )
They will laugh at me,
But I WILL NOT CARE AT ALL
Till I die,
They'll never make me.
Not ever,
Or ever take my heart.
They can try,
They will not break me
They want it all, But we will fight this part
Don't explain, or say your sorry
I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
We give a cheer, for the war and
Inside for all the broken
( OH! )
I'm just a girl,
I'm no hero
Just a boy
Who wants be my own person
Just a person
With a revolution
Both DOESN'T CARE!
Stay strong!
Stay strong,
Although your dead and Dad won't understand me,
I have learned how to stay strong!
Forever is long,
But in my heart I will contain it,
Emotions to control it-
For LO~NG
We'll CARRY O~N
We'll always Stay Strong~
The video ended with her eye and the screen went black. Pur pizza came and we started to eat. Riven took out his cell and started typing. I bite into my cheese pizza and leaned over to him. "Wat'cha doin'? Uh?" Riven had looked up the song. I laughed and tried not to blush... that's really hard.
"It's a good song! Did you not hear those 10 second holding notes!?" He asked. I laughed again and took another bite. Riven read the lyrics to himself then stopped. "What do you think. 'There are no Rainbows, Just the Rain That Won't go Away!
Rainbows appear if you stay strong, ' means?"
I knew that. "That if you choose to give up, your choosing to be gloomy therefore choosing the rainy days. If you at least try and get through challenges with staying strong, you can create you own rainbow. Your achievment. And that could be anything." I pointed out waving my pizza everywhere to prove my point.
It did take a long time to write that song and to make the video. The begining piano melody, my Mom actually made up. It was the first song she taught me to play. ANd her words were true!
Riven nodded. "You should team up with Helia some time. Your good at poetry."
Stella laughed."Probuably cause he's too girly to fight!"
I glared. "Actually, I'm a decent fighter. At least I don't depend on powers to get me everywhere."
She went stiff and her eye twitched. She let out a scream in frustration.
We found ourselves walking in Magix again. We all got kicked out and weren't allowed in for another two weeks. It's all thanks to Princess Stuck In My Ass.
We walked to the park at sunset and Flora, with some awesome magic, layed out a picnic. We all sat down and chatted amoungst eachother. "Okay Tecna! Truth or Dare?" Stella asked.
"Oh great, here we go..." Tecna mumbled. "Truth."
"Do you like Timmy?"
"Of caurse! He's nice and smart!" Stella started smirking. "Wait a minute, I thought you meant as a friend ya big jerk!" Tecna yelled.
We all laughed.
"Alright, Flora, Truth or Dare?" Tecna asked.
"Um- truth."
"Okay, were you lonely last year because you did not have any of the guys to tlak to?"
"That was a lame question." I commented.
"Shut up." Tecna responded.
"Well, sorta. I really didn't mind."Flora answered honestly.
"Woah, how do we know that's true?" I asked. I hate this game, but one thing everyone has to do to get me to stay in, is to answer honestly!
"We know!" Bloom laughed.
"Flora is the worste liar. But she can also tell when your lying." Riven stated.
I nodded now getting it. Seemed believable, I mean, she was nice and sweet and all that stuff I could never be.
The game continued for a long half hour until my turn... shiver. "Kuzoku, T or D?" Sky asked.
"T." I replied.
"For Turtle?" Brandon mumbled.
I raised my hands and he put his arms up in his deffence. "Are you seriously Gay or Bi?" He asked with seriousness in his voice and face.
The girls seemed shocked he would ask, then confused for some odd reason, then serious. How could I respond to this? One more outurst and they'll think I'm Gay or Bi, and they won't be my friends anymore! I'm a girl... but hey don't know that! I need these people to help me stay strong! I need to stay strong! For myself, my family and Melody! Act fast-
Oh God Tell Me, Can You Hear Me Sing My Song As I Sing?
If Not Then Well, It's Not Really You I'm Singing Too
I had been SAVED by my phone! "Scuse me," I said as I ran off toward a different direction. ( A:N/ Scused is not a mistake! When I say Excuse, I never say the E and is comes out like Scuse. My Computers teacher does it too XD )
I clicked answer and brung the phone to my ear. "Yeller?"
"Musa Melody? Or sorry, it's Kuzuko over there isn't it?" The voice said.
"Hai."I responded. "Sorry my voice is deep. I have to hide it from my friends. We're at Magix Park. Anyway, what'daya need Galatea?" I asked.
"Okay, I got a call from Teen Fairies section in the Magix New Channel and they want to interview you and for you to preform! As your agent, I said yes. It's schedualed for Monday at 5-6 pm. I know you have school, but think of it! Money will come rollin' in, you can pay your tuition for this year and next too!"
"Keep your exitment meter down! It brings up your voice." I said quietly making sure the guys didn't hear.
"Maybe you should turn your In Call Volume down. Besides the point! You'll do it right?" Galatea asked.
I sighed. "Alright."
"Great! Be here at 2 and we'll do you make-up, hair, fashion, and warm ups. See ya then! Love ya!" Galatea ended and hung up.
I shoved my phone in my pocket and walked back over to the picnic. They were whispering and when they saw me walking over they stopped. I was suspicious but guessed they could see I was annoyed and didn't wanna say something done. When I flick somone of with my finger, that's how many seconds they have left to live. "So, we should be getting home." I said. "And if you wanna break cerfew, be my guest. But I'm leaving."
They all stood up and started to follow me to our bikes. "Who was that?" Bloom asked.
"Any of your buisness person I just met today? I mean seriously, nosey. If you haven't realized, I don't even tell them who I'm talking too." I said pointing to the guys.
Bloom glared and me and I glared back. I got on my bike and again led the way. The guys went toward Alfea, Riven and I radioheaded them, as we call usinig the walkie talkie's in the helmets, and said we were taking off toward RF.
Riven and I entered the dorm...alone. For some reason it felt a little strange. I mean, I'd been alone with him before, but now... it was weird.
I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom. I threw on my baggy white tee and gym shorts. When I came out Riven was in bed shirtless. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked.
I saw him put down the calander and I almost laughed. I became bubbly and felt as If I had to return the faver of making me warm inside. So I agreed to answer the question.
"Why do you change in the bathroom?"
I stopped and got under my purple bed covers. "No reason. I'm just... insecure. Yeah. Between you and me, I just started hitting puberty. That's why I have no leg or arm hair, and my voice is squeaky, and why I've been having outbursts."
"Oh!" Riven replied. "One more,"
"Yeah?"
"Do you like your long hair? The fact that it's sorta purple?" He asked. ( A:N/ In Musa's enchantix, her hair is like... more purple. If you look closely, you can tell. )
I looked at him. "Not really. I just enjoy it long. Like Helia." He nodded. I took a deep breath in."Alright, I'm Turtling in. Get it? Turning? Turtling? Haha... anyways! Night." I said turning off my light and putting in my head phone with one bud out.
I sleep with music but usually leave one out so I can hear my alarm. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. But I heard the rest of the guys walk in. I ignored it and started doozing off again, but I heard them all stand in the door way of our room and I heard Riven say,
"Operation Yag in session."
I'm continuing this cause I enjoy it! Give me credit! This is SUPER Long! And took me forever! Any ways, let me know what'cha think and um yeah! Sorry for all the A:N's! It might be confusing now, but the story will all add up toward the end! And if your super smart, ( or reguarly intelligent I just suck at foreshadowing, ) you'll figure it out sooner! Yay!
Yukari Musa Over And Out!
