Here it is! Chapter 3. Enjoy ;)
3- Gathering The Guardians
"Wait! What? Matt's back?" Cornelia was completely baffled.
"Yeah. He said he is coming back to Hetherfield starting Monday," Will failed at trying to hold back her smile.
Irma laughed, "He probably couldn't stand being around all of those music geeks."
Matt left Hetherfield at the end of their grade 9 year to attend a high class music academy.
"So does this mean you are dumping Josh?" Cornelia blurted, without realizing what she had just said.
"Oh." Will's face glowed red, "You guys know we weren't actually going out."
Hay Lin giggled ad began to join in the fun, "Yeah you guys. Her and Josh were just an item." She smiled, using her hands to quote the word 'item' .
Taranee stayed quiet while the girls teased Will. She kept her head stuffed in an old History book. Cornelia glared at her and snatched the book away as if it was a shirt Taranee had borrowed from her without asking. She held the book out of Taranee's reach and said, "No more."
Irma nodded, "Yeah. For once I agree with Corny." Cornelia crossed her arms and frowned at the nickname, "You really need to start relaxing."
Taranee protested, "But midterms are-"
"No more." Cornelia repeated her last statement firmly.
Irma turned to Will, "Now, please Will, continue."
Will's face once again grew bright red, as she got straight to the point, "Well, I sort of…agreed to go out on a date with Matt."
The four other guardian's mouths dropped. Will knew what they were all thinking, so she continued, "He just sort of asked me and I said I would like it if we could try things again."
They still were speechless. They would have stayed that way long enough for Will to feel awkward if Cornelia's cell phone hadn't rung and interrupted them.
"Hello?" … "Oh…hey," She smiled.
The girls exchanged curious and confused looks. Hay Lin put her head next to Cornelia's on the other side of the cell phone, trying to here a few words.
"Um, sure. Saturday then." She shut her phone and smiled brightly, "I'm going out with Jason!"
Will, confused, asked, "Jason?"
"The pizza guy!" Cornelia held the smile on her face.
Will gave Cornelia the 'I don't like where this is going' look. She shook her head and sighed, "Cornelia, don't."
"Don't what?" Cornelia asked. You could already hear the attitude in her voice.
"Don't pretend that you aren't still hurt over our last visit to Meridian," Taranee said, speaking Will's thoughts, although she was speaking for the other girls and her self as well.
Cornelia raised her eyebrows, "I'm not pretending."
Irma smirked. For once, the girls would let her talk in her rude way to Cornelia; They wanted sense talked back into her and Irma just loved to irritate her. "So you don't mind that Caleb has a completely gorgeous girlfriend you could never compete with?"
"A little far, Irma." Taranee transferred her thoughts into Irma's head.
"Sorry." Irma apologized insincerely.
Cornelia stood up from Will's couch where she had been sitting for the last hour. She grabbed her bag and opened Will's front door. Before she left, she turned back, saying, "And no. I don't mind."
The girls looked back and forth at each other after the door slammed.
"Well," Irma shrugged, "Clearly, she doesn't mind."
Will raised her eyebrows at Irma, scorning her without actually saying anything. "Anyways," Will suddenly began, "I think you guys should go. I have to get ready for my date with Matt."
"Wait!" Hay Lin stopped at the doorway firmly before Will tried to hassle them out, "It's tonight?"
Will blushed for the third time, "Yes. It's at the Silver Dragon."
"Oh!" Hay Lin grinned, "I guess I'll see you tonight then!"
Taranee smiled at Will, "Well, have fun. And good luck."
Will returned the smile and closed the door. She rushed to her room and tore through her messy dresser and closet, searching for the prefect outfit. She didn't stop until she found her favourite pink tank and her favourite pair of jeans. She pulled them on quickly, then looked herself up and down in the mirror. She grabbed a pair of silver hoops form her dresser, poking them into her ears. After that she fixed her hair, by throwing in some mousse and blow drying it for volume. She wasn't usually this made up or girly, but tonight was an exception; she needed it to be perfect.

"Ew! What is that smell!" Taranee heard her mom say as she entered her apartment. Taranee didn't need to ask anything to realize what her mom was talking about. She smelt the terrible stench before she even had her key out to open her front door. Only one thing could smell so absolutely fowl.
Taranee darted to her bedroom before her mom could get near it. Her thoughts were proved correct when she shut her door because she saw the small green goblin- like creature sitting comfortably on her bed.
"Girls!" Blunk jumped off of her bed and flung himself into the fire guardian's arms. "Where's other girls?"
Taranee pinched the bridge of her nose as she pushed Blunk off and replied, "They aren't here…but why are you?"
"Blunk bring news!"
Taranee quickly whipped her hand over Blunk's mouth when she heard two loud knocks on her door.
"Taranee, hun?" She heard her mom's voice speak, "What's that smell?"
"Um…just a mouldy science project!" Taranee quickly covered, "I'm throwing it out!" She knew that if her mom saw the green monster she would have near a heart attack.
"Okay," Her mom replied, "Just get it out!"
"Yep!" Taranee listened carefully for the footsteps to fade away before releasing her hand from Blunk. "What kind of news?"
Blunk responded., "Caleb find clue!"

"But mom!" Irma complained like a 4-year old child.
"Irma, you need to baby-sit Chris tonight," she pulled on her black leather jacket.
"Mom-"
"And that's final!" And with that, Irma's parents were both out the door.
Irma sighed and turned her head slowly to face Chris. He jumped when he saw the fierce look in her eyes, but that didn't stop him from annoying her.
"Haha! You look like a bull!" He laughed at his joke.
Irma was ready to smack him across the face, but she didn't. Instead, she thought, "Go to bed. Go to bed. Go to bed."
Chris stopped laughing before he could pee himself and stood up, "I think I'll go to bed." He silently walked to his room.
Irma exhaled all of her anger and took hold of the remote. She changed the channel to something more age appropriate.
Knock , knock.
Irma rolled her eyes and opened the door, "What did you forget?" She meant to direct the question at her parents, but she found herself asking Taranee and Blunk.
"Irma, Blunk says Caleb found a clue." Taranee ignored Irma's question.
"But…I'm babysitting!" Irma frowned. She remembered the last time she had gotten a babysitter to replace her.
Taranee had an urgent look on her face.
"Well, I guess I could call Alchemy and see if she is free." Irma sacrificed getting in trouble, to save Elyon.

"Cornelia, get the door!" Mrs. Hale told her daughter.
Cornelia got up lazily, praying it wasn't one of her friends that she wasn't exactly intent on seeing after their last conversation. Her hopes of it not being one of the other guardians got the best of her when she saw Taranee and Irma standing in her doorway. And by what she could smell, it wasn't just them.
"What?" She asked rudely.
Irma opened her mouth to reply in the same tone, but Taranee stopped her, "Blunk is here." Blunk stepped out from behind Taranee and Irma, smiling like he didn't smell as bad as he did. "And he's told us Caleb found a clue as to where Elyon is."

"I think we should try again too," Will agreed with Matt when he asked if they could start things over.
Matt smiled and took hold of her hand, "Good."
Will felt an instant connection when she felt his touch. They both began to lean in,. ready for a kiss to start their new relationship. Will frowned when she had to stop because of three guardians that entered. Her stomach turned when she saw Irma point in her direction,
"You guys!" Will's eyes grew wide. She jerked her head towards Matt.
"Will, please!" Cornelia started, "It's important."
Will didn't want to leave, but she knew her duty as a guardian. Plus, it had to be pretty important if Cornelia was willing to be in the same room as them right now. She turned her head sadly towards Matt.
"Please, Matt. This won't take long."
Matt stood up, facing the girls. "Does this have to do with…" He looked around, careful not to sound too loud. In a low, hushed voice, he finished, "W.I.T.C.H.?"
The girls exchanged looks. Will took a step toward him and grabbed his hand gently, "I don't want to get you involved in this again. It's too dangerous."
Matt angrily protested, "I still have my-I mean Lillian's powers."
"NO!"
"Will!" Irma grabbed her friend's shoulder, "We don't have time for this. Just let him help for now."
Will pouted, but agreed as long as she could talk with Matt about this more when they returned to earth.
The girls quickly ran to the basement. They grabbed Hay Lin on the way, who was serving tables, and now completely dumfounded as to what was going on. They stopped at the bottom of the stairs. Hay Lin watched as Will pulled out the Heart of Kandrakar. She braced herself for her transformation, as did the others.
Will hurriedly cried, "Guardians, unite!"
