Two weeks and a half later, on a Thursday, Tyler was in his fourth hour; math. He had none of his friends in that class, not even Reid. He did have nice people to talk to and work with in the class, though, so it wasn't all bad. While he was working on the assignment given to them, he overheard some girls talking behind him.

"And they say these amulets give you good luck…almost guaranteed." A girl said to her friend next to her.

The friend sounded excited. "Really, where?"

"Hopes' Garden a few streets over. You have to check it out sometime." The girl stated sounding enthusiastic.

Tyler was a bit interested in seeing these amulets himself. 'Huh…I'll ask Sarah if she'd like to join me in checking that place out. Sounds interesting.'

He then went back to figuring out his math problems.


"I'm so glad you told me about this." Sarah contently stated as they entered a garden named Hope's.

Tyler smiled. "I'm glad I heard about it."

They walked the path that was surrounded by plants to the small building that had a display of the good luck charms on a shelf that they came to see. Before they got to them, though, Tyler suddenly stopped and had a suspicious expression come over his face and began looking around them as if something was nearby. Sarah stopped as well and looked at him in confusion.

"Something wrong?"

Tyler looked unsure. "…I don't know…something just feels…different."

Sarah blinked in interest. "Oh, really?"

She then looked around them as well to see what Tyler was talking about but she saw nothing unusual.

"What do you mean, 'different'?" Sarah asked.

Tyler shook his head at a loss. "Can't say exactly. It just seems like something's here that wasn't before."

"Hmm," Sarah hummed in thought.

They soon saw two familiar faces when they got closer to the small building that held the amulets.

"Oh, look at them, Reid. They are so beautiful." Kate stated.

Tyler and Sarah perked at seeing them there. They went over to them as they were looking at the amulets.

"Hello." Sarah greeted.

Kate and Reid turned to see that it was Tyler and Sarah, and looked happy to see it was them.

"Hey." Reid greeted in a pleased smile.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?" Tyler asked curiously.

"Kate wanted to check out some amulet's she heard about and wanted me to tag along." Reid stated.

Tyler then gained a thoughtful look. "Reid, have you noticed anything strange since you got here?"

Reid thought, then shook his head. "No….are you sensing something?"

"Yeah…I think-"

Before Tyler could finish his sentence their surroundings suddenly began to change. They then found themselves surrounded by tall green walls.

"…I think this is a maze." Tyler mused.

Sarah looked around them in confusion and surprise. "Wasn't this just a garden?"

"Yeah…" Tyler replied feeling overwhelmed by the sudden development.

"It's a Clow card." Reid stated.

"Can you tell which Clow card it is?" Kate asked.

Kate has no magic, so she can't sense Clow cards like Tyler and Reid.

"I think it's the Maze card, it's gotta be." Reid replied.

Sarah groaned in reluctance. "Oh, people get lost in mazes."

Tyler looked at Reid. "What do we do?"

"It won't disappear until we discover where the exit is." He answered.

Tyler sighed as he looked around at the walls trapping them.

"Okay…let's go find the exit." He stated reluctantly.

So they ventured through the multiple paths that surrounded them. After a while, they weren't successful and had to look to magical guidance.

"Great, now what?" Sarah stated in disappointment when they failed at finding the exit the old fashioned way.

Realization lit in Tyler's eyes and he looked over at Reid. "Hey, maybe the lasin board can help us."

Reid smiled. "Yeah,"

Reid made the lasin board appear with his magic and said the spell to activate it.

"Force, know my plight, release the light,"

The lasin board began to light up but as soon as Reid was done with the spell, the light of the lasin board dispersed and disappeared. Tyler sighed in disappointment.

"The Maze has somehow neutralized the board's magnetic field." Reid stated in disappointed surprise.

Since the board was no help, Reid put it away and it was back to the drawing board.

"Hmm, let's see; logic doesn't work, the board is no use, so what's left?" Sarah mused.

They all thought intently on what could help them get out of the Maze. Tyler soon thought of something.

"Hey, I got it!"

The others looked at him in interest. "What?" Kate asked him.

"We can use the Sword card to cut our way out." He explained.

The others seemed to like that idea. "Sounds good to me. Good thinking, babe." Reid congratulated.

Tyler smiled at the praise, then he got out the Clow key and said the spell to turn it into the sealing wand, and he got the Sword card out and activated it.

"Sword card, grant your form to this wand. Release and dispel!"

Tyler now had the sword in hand and sliced the wall open. The others sighed in relief that it worked. So they all cut through the walls in search of the exit. They eventually found it through a lot of searching and dashed through the exit.

"Yes! Finally out of there." Kate stated happily.

"Yeah, talk about a brain teaser. That was some Maze." Sarah mused.

The Maze they just got out of then started to move and swirl around.

"Oh no, what's happening now?" Tyler mused in dread.

"Another Maze is about to start. Hurry, Tyler, seal it." Reid encouraged.

Tyler did just that. "Maze card, return to your power confined!"

The Maze was then successfully captured and flew to Tyler's hand. Tyler sighed in relief that it was over.

"Finally." Tyler stated and pocketed the newly acquired card.

Reid smiled. "Good job back there."

Kate smiled as well. "Yeah, we probably wouldn't have made it out before nightfall if you hadn't thought of the Sword card."

Tyler chuckled modestly. "Thanks."

Reid reached out an arm, wrapped it around Tyler, and pulled him to him and kissed him. They touched noses cutely when they ended the kiss.

"I'm so lucky to have a boyfriend that's hot and smart." Reid mused with a grin.

Tyler giggled before resting his head on Reid's shoulder, the girls gushing about how cute they were.

'Despite how frustrating the Maze card was to figure out, I'd say today was a good day.' Tyler thought as he nuzzled into his boyfriend's neck lovingly.


End chap. 7

Well, that was shorter than I expected, but I didn't really want to spend too much time on the Maze card causing trouble. Mostly cause it's a bit boring, so I narrowed it down some. I hope you enjoyed. In the next chapter, Tyler and all his friends go out on a Friday night to the ice skating rink in celebration of his 18th birthday, but looks like they have a party crasher; the Freeze card. Can Tyler and Reid save everyone from being froze to death? wait till chapter 8 and find out.
