Chapter 9: China vs. Brazil vs. South Korea vs. America
Lil LoveStar: Hi all I'm still writing this thing. I was going to
stop… but you all seem to like it so I'll continue.
Rio: And
here I thought you were going to stop our adventure.
Spinner: She
knows if she did the reviewers would be mad at her and stop
reviewing.
Lil LoveStar: You stuck up cat!
Showron: Leave Lil
LoveStar alone Spinner. Or I'll tell Kero and Xiaolang where your
whole chocolate stash is.
Spinner: NO!
Lil LoveStar: On wit the
story!
"I liked your shooting Lily." Destiny smiled. "You and Levar helped us win it." She added. Levar shrugged and Lily smiled.
"Hey Dest!" Opal called with the members of the Chinese team (AN: Not all of them… wink, wink -). "There's lunch in the kitchen, all the teams are there."
"And I haven't seen Xiaolang and Sakura since the round ended." Madison said.
"Oh I think I know where they are." Meiling smiled slyly.
"Where?" Madison asked.
Sakura Xiaolang
"This is beautiful Xiaolang." Sakura gasped at the beauty of his garden. Xiaolang blushed slightly. "Well it's where I come to just relax, train and think sometimes." He said.
"Did you plant it yourself?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, I didn't want anyone to know where it was." He said sighing at his work.
"I just love it; it's so peaceful and beautiful. But why did you let me come here with you?"
"Because I care about you and I wanted to share this place with you; you can come here anytime you want, think of it as your own little getaway place." "Now you hungry?"
"Yeah let's see if they made lunch in the kitchen."
Kitchen
"Guess who's down the hall." Destiny said taking a sip of soda.
"Your experiment." Kalvin said reading a book.
"What do you mean but that?" Roxi asked. All 20 young adults gathered to listen. Some knew the answer and the rest wanted to know. "Our sister has a bothersome hobby; she likes to conduct what we call experiments on other people. It's really matchmaking." Jimmy said.
"Amazingly she was able to match all of us and it always been a success." Von said.
"And her 'subjects' are our very own Li Xiaolang and Avalon Sakura." Kalvin said.
"They'll be my award-winning couple, the Card Mistress and a direct descendant of Clow Reed. It will be my retiring match. And they will be together." Destiny beamed. At that moment Sakura and Xiaolang walked in the kitchen and got in line. "Alright I want to see if I'm still the Matchmaking Princess." Destiny said silencing them.
"She wants another 'Princess' title that's all." BJ said.
"Fan Ren break up with BJ." Destiny said.
Across the Kitchen
"So… what else do you love?" Xiaolang blushed.
"The girls like sisters, this place, and Hong Kong." Sakura said getting in line.
"Anything else?"
"Kero too, Yue, Showron is adorable."
"Oh that's it." Xiaolang said getting in front of Sakura in line.
"Hey! Line cutter!" Sakura said as she stepped back in front of him. Xiaolang smirked and started tickling her. "(Laughing) Xiaolang (laughing) stop, I (laughing) can't breathe!" Everyone in the area and some who heard the loud laughing came in and saw the spectacle of Li Xiaolang actually smiling and playing around with a girl.
"Tell me who you love." He smiled playfully.
"Alright! Alright!! You! I love you Xiaolang!" Sakura laughed. Xiaolang smiled and stopped. After getting lunch they snuck back into Xiaolang's garden.
Group
"I got all that on tape." Madison said starry eyed.
"Yeah and I got it on video phone." Roxi laughed.
"Wait where did they go after they got food?" Futtie asked.
"They went to Xiaolang's garden." Destiny said writing something down. "The supposedly 'secret' garden." She added.
"Well… let's be nosy then." Opal smiled. Destiny shrugged and closed the little gold book she had. "Alright, but don't blown our cover." She said. They walked to the fourth floor and down the south wing. At the very end there was a dark green marble wall. "How is the garden all the way up here?" Feimei asked.
"Yeah, I've never seen our little brother come up here in this wing." Xiefa protested.
"Then I suggest you start to learn how to detect every bit of magic used in this mansion and also having to follow him everywhere helps too." Destiny said.
"Yeah I remember that, we had to follow him almost everywhere so we wouldn't get a scolding from Aiden." Kalvin laughed.
"But how do we get in?" Lily asked.
"Now that's complicated." Destiny said looking at all of them. "To get in we have to have Xiaolang's aura… or Sakura's."
"We can't do that! There are few fighters with magic, let alone really any sorcerers that can do that." Courtney said; Lily, Levar, Jonathon and Opal nodded agreeing.
"Now in this school we have a rule or a motto that we follow. When there is a will there is a way." Von said. "I believe my sister has a way in."
"All you have to do is think green or pink, but I recommend that you think green because Xiaolang's aura is easier than Sakura's. Sakura has the Cards and there power with hers together is nearly impossible for some to copy." She nodded for them to try it. Concentrating the members of the American team passed through; Meiling, Rio, Roxi, Michael, and Madison were able to do the same. But Eli used his own aura since he was stronger than Xiaolang. Destiny's brothers did the same. With Kalvin standing next to her he passed through right after seeing Destiny used her own magic to go through. Her scar started to sting but it didn't show.
"You ok?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah I'll be ok." Destiny said.
"How were you able to use your magic and we couldn't?" BJ asked annoyed.
"Because I'm stronger than you." Destiny said with her left eye closed. She started toward where she knew Sakura and Xiaolang would be. They followed her to the rose patch. "Be careful of the thorns." Destiny said looking over them toward the couple under the cherry blossom tree, near the fountain. Madison got out her camera and started taping. (AN: OK I'm sry but I have to get to the tournament so I'm going to end it here) After fifteen minutes of contained laughing and kawaiis they finally left so Sakura and Xiaolang could leave on their own and get to the tournament.
Court
"Where are they; slackers!" Meiling acted seeing Sakura and Xiaolang were late. Madsion held a giggle; Eli raised a brow at them with a smile. Sakura and Xiaolang came running to the court.
"You're lucky that there having problems with how to set up the music, otherwise we would have had to play without you." Meiling said.
"Isn't Destiny setting up the music?" Brent asked.
"Yes but the committee is saying that her music wouldn't work but they won't listen to it and it would work for this." Kalvin said walking by. Meiling and Madsion sweatdropped.
"What song is it Kalvin?"
"Basketball by Lil Bow Wow." Kalvin said looking back at them. "They're just being stubborn and Destiny's being patient with them." Kalvin's older brothers came walking up to him hearing what was being said, "She's going to get her way anyway. Might as well end the delay now and let the song be played." BJ said.
"What's so significant about the song?" Sakura asked.
"It's just as the title suggests, it's about basketball and that is what were going to play." Jimmy said. Destiny stomped by them with steam coming out of her ears.
"You ok sis?" Von asked.
"Those assholes said that they want to listen to the song before it can be played, I'm being real nice in not hurting them! And saying that there's nothing bad about the song but they insist and they said if I play it publicly then I can't host for the rest of the tournament." She said sighing. "So I'm going to get my CD." She walked to the house. Getting the disk quickly and her boom box she had the committee listen to it.
"Now will you let me play it?" Destiny asked with a vein popping out of her head and hand. The committee saw this and quickly said yes. Destiny smirked and said thank you and changed into a pink Victoria Secret outfit with white rims at the neck, sleeves, and waist band of her pants with a pink strip. "Ok let's start this game off right." She winked and walked toward Sakura, Chelsea, Nikki, Rita, and Opal,
"Hey you guys want to cheerlead for the rounds?" She asked.
"How can we when we're going to be playing ball?" Opal asked.
"Well our team is not playing until the second round." Destiny said.
"But Chelsea, Nikki, Rita and are playing in this round." Sakura said frowning at Destiny's bizarre idea.
"Ok Sakura duh use the Mirror Card and the Illusion Card." "You guys can play, while your others cheer, or…" She touched the four girls and made them separate. Each girl had another next to her.
"What did you do?" Xiaolang asked looking at both Sakura look at him with question. Destiny smiled and said, "I made exact copies of them, with their own magic, memories, everything you could think of. All of them looked at the pairs of threes and marveled at Destiny's power. "Ok now let's get on that court while your double plays." Using her magic again gave them each a pink outfit, matching hers only they each had their first initial on the pants like Destiny's. They agreed, seeing it impossible to say no to Destiny, on the court they put on the headset MIC that Odessa gave them. They bowed and smiled at the live crowd. Who in turn cheered. "Welcome back all of you, this will be the match off with China and South Korea. Let's start if off right by putting on a song that stands for this very sport. The music started and Destiny said softly, "Follow my lead; you've done this routine before." They started to sing as the players came on the field right behind them as Odessa announced them. Some found it hard to believe that the cheerleaders and some of the players looked the same. (AN: I don't want to talk about the game because basketball is not my main thing but I'll be talking about the cheerleading instead) The girls twirled, jumped and moved with grace and flare, singing to the chores, each of them saying 'Holla round the World, Put it up, Put it up now and several other parts of the song. (AN: Now of course like any smart person would have figured they were off the court and in front of the crowd and cheered and put on a show during the half time.) It was like they were each dancing to the song. They did moves that not many cheering squads could ever do and that was because they had magic but they used it for their safety not to show off. They were perfect and at the end of the game China had won the game. The girls cheered even louder at that.
The second round went pretty fast because the real Destiny played as her copy that she made cheered, America won easily against Brazil. After the whole ordeal Destiny returned the copies to their original forms, feeling tired after all that work she took a break as everyone celebrated.
Lil LoveStar: Well that's it for now, hoped you liked and
sorry for taking so long.
Destiny: Its cool LoveStar, it's a
good chap.
Kero: I have a feeling we'll be seen more in the next
one though.
Lil LoveStar: We'll be seeing a lot of stuff next
chap. Until then!
