Milly and Honey, True Blue Friendship!
It was a Sunday afternoon in mid-January, I was going to the movies with Milly, Erin and Anna. We had just finished exams on Friday and we wanted to celebrate.
"Whispers of The Sea?" Anna said. "I don't know a movie about a girl who turns in to a mermaid who fights crime. Isn't that premise a little off the wall?"
"Oh I don't it sounds good. I hear something like that happened on the site of the City in around Lakeview."Erin commented
"Oh, maybe one day they'll make a movie about Riding Hood." Milly added.
I laughed nervously. "Yeah like that would ever happen! Besides they don't know anything about her, so how could they make a movie."
"Oh all the need is her speech." Milly stood with her feet slightly apart and pointed towards me. "I am the girl cloaked in red, I wield fire to burn the stained hearts. I am Riding Hood!"
That's what I looked like when I made the speeches? Talk about lame. But Erin and Anna appeared to think she was spot on.
"Oh don't forget her attack!" Anna added. "Flaming spirit spear!"
She got hold of an inviable spear. Then with smirk on her face she swiped though the air.
More peals of laughter. I laughed along even though it was me they were making fun of.
"That was perfect! You smirked exactly like she always does!" Erin said.
"She does?" I asked.
They looked at me.
"Oh yeah, you've never seen her Honey!" Milly said. "Because your always busy nowadays. This is the first time we've been out together in months!"
"Yeah sorry about that." I said. Suddenly my ring started to glow. Now? "Oh I just remember I have to help my Mom move pictures to the gallery today. Her new show opens Monday." Mom did have show opening the next day, but I had already helped her move the paintings yesterday.
"That's okay go help your Mom." Erin said. "We'll let you know what the movie was like."
"Thanks, goodbye."
"Goodbye!" Erin and Anna said. Milly said nothing just kind of stared. I shock my head. I deal with that later.
I transformed behind a garage container. Then I ran the rest of the way to the drugstore.
Damocles stood beside a frozen girl. She smirked at me before disappearing. Darn. I had gotten there a second to late.
"Riding Hood!" Lugh said as he appeared. "If you had came here as soon as your ring started to glow you could saved this girl's energy. Melt!" He unfroze the girl, then turned back to me. "Where were you?"
"I had to explain to me friends why I was running off!"
"What's more important to you: fighting evil or your friends?"
"They're both important to me!" At this point Lugh and I released everyone was staring at us.
"Um," Lugh said. "Teleport!"
We ended up in the park. I detransformed behind a tree.
"You should shape up Riding Hood!" Lugh told me before he disappeared. "Start acting like a real warrior of Justice."
I sighed. Well at least, it couldn't get any worst..
The next morning when the paper arrived, I released, yes it could get worst.
"Check this out!" Mike said. "'Riding Hood and her mentor, fight outside a drugstore! Is the magic over?'"
"But Lee Brock would doomed if she gave up!" Sara said. "What are we going to do?"
"Don't worry Sara," I said calmly. "She's probably just have a rough time with her boss."
"Wow." Mike said. "Are you sure you're not Riding Hood?"
"Ha. Get real." I said. "I have to go to school now."
Great. That meant more people would be making of fun of me.
"Did you read the paper?" I asked Lugh as I handed in my permission slip for our grade's field trip to Water World! the theme park based on water myths. It was in June and would be a two night-three day trip, so everyone was very excited.
"Yeah." He said. "I'll tell you off, when other people aren't around next time."
"You could not tell off at all." I said hopefully.
He just stared at me.
Oh well. It was worth a shot.
I sat back down beside Milly. "Water World! is going to be so cool. Right?"
"Yeah. Whatever." was her only reply.
She was like that all morning. Was she still mad about the other day. I apologized as soon as I saw her that morning.
Finally it was lunch time. I went and sat down at our usual table. Erin and Anna were talking about the article.
"Apperently she was too late to fight Damocles!" Anna said.
"I'm sure all super heroines have their off days." I said. I had to defend myself.
"The reason she was late was, because she had to tell her friends." Erin said.
I was about say something but Milly beat me to it. "Well, I'd like a friend who had least had a valid reason for running off. Riding Hood has to save people, on like some people I know."
"Is this about yesterday?" I asked. "Look, like I said I'm sorry-"
"This isn't just about yesterday!" Milly snapped. "You've change since we've started high school!"
"I haven't changed-"
"You're wrong! The Honey I knew would never leave her friends to hang out with, Esmeralda. I mean Esmeralda? You hate her!"
"I can explain-"
"You're sucking up to Eleanor and the members of LOAHG so you can be popular. I bet you want to go out with Aiden. What, is Chris not good enough for you now?"
I blushed. "You, know I can't stand Chris. Why would I go out with him? And I am not sucking up to Eleanor!"
"Then what are you doing?" I couldn't answer her question. "That's right you don't answer because its true! As far as I'm concerned the Honey who was best friend is dead and so is this friendship."
She picked up her tray. " Come on Darling," She said to her boyfriend.
"Um. Right Milly."
Milly glared at Anna and Erin, "Either you take her side or mine."
They hestated.
"It's alright guys, I'll leave." I said.
I spend the rest of lunch in the library. As I came out when the warning bell rang., I saw Milly.
"Hey you're not still mad are you?" I asked.
She turned towards me. "Yes I am. Don't ever speak to me again, Fox. I have to go to class now."
She left.
The real rang, but I still stood in the hall shocked. Everything about her, her glance, her manner and her voice, had been so cold. She had never called me 'Fox' before.
"Honey," I turned around and saw Lugh. He had spare period then I guessed. He looked vaguely worried. "Is something wrong?"
"Yes, there is Lugh. My best friend hates me now, and you know whose fault that is?"
"Um. No."
I took a couple of steeps closer to him. "It's your fault! If you hadn't have come made my into a demented fighter, I would still be able to go movies, or hang out with my friends whenever I wanted to! I'd still have my best friend! I hate you!"
Lugh looked hurt. I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth.
There was a moment of silence. Then he said. "I'm sorry, Honey. I'm sorry, I ruined your life. I'm truly sorry."
Then he left. I went to class. I couldn't contrate all afternoon though. I kept thinking about Milly and Lugh.
After school, I went to the park and sat down on my favorite bench. Why did I always do things like this?
I can remember when I was five. Some kid pushed me off the monkey bars, and I yelled at Sara when she triad to help me up, causing her to cry. It was one of the few times my Granny was angry with me.
"Just because you're hurt Honey, it doesn't give you the right to hurt others."She told me.
Just because I'm hurt, it doesn't give me the right to hurt others.
"Sorry, Granny. I let you down again." I whispered.
"Are you alright, Fox?" Someone said to me.
I looked up, it was Chris. He looked concerned.
"Can I sit here?" He asked.
"Sure."
There was a few seconds of silence. "You were fighting with, Milly at lunch today."
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because, I don't hang out with her as much anymore and she thinks I'm sucking up to Eleanor." I said. "She doesn't want to be friends anymore. I understand why. Also I blamed it all, on a person who just wants me to be the best I can be. I' m a horrible person."
He looked thoughtful for a second. "You're not horrible. You're just human. We all make mistakes and hurt others from time to time. They'll forgive you."
"Really?"
"Yep. Milly will get over it. And if you apologize to this other person I'm sure they'll forgive you."
"Do you think?"
"Yeah. Also just try to make more of an effort to see Milly. At least then she'll know you're trying."
"That will work!" I said. "Um Chris?"
"What is it?"
"Thanks." I smiled
"Um. Your welcome." He looked embarrassed for some reason.
Just then my ring started to glow. Again?
"Oh my! Look at the time. I have to go babysit, my brother! See you tomorrow."
"Um bye."
I couldn't believe Chris of all people, would be the one to cheer me up. Who'd have thought!
"Riding Hood Transformation!"
Now, the attack was taking place outside of Milly's house. Suddenly I had a bad feeling about this.
I ran even faster.
Sure enough Damocles stood outside next to the two-level house with a terrified Milly beside her.
"Oh Riding Hood so good of you to join us."
"Milly," I said through clenched teeth. "Run! Before she can freeze you, run!"
She looked at me for a second and then started to run away.
"Nice try, Riding Hood!" Damocles said. "Petrify!"
Milly literally froze in place. Damocles smiled cruelly.
"This is girl, so full of sadness, perfect energy patterns. Lady Nemesis will be pleased."
"Stay the hell away from her!" I exclaimed.
"Oh and who's going to stop me? If I recall you couldn't stop me yesterday."
"We're going to stop you!" Came a chorus of voices and my heart soared.
Damocles seemed unfazed. "Oh perfect. You're all here. Who wants to be destroyed first? Form a line."
"I wouldn't get to cocky, if I was you Damocles." Talia said calmly.
"Why shouldn't I? I'm odiously more powerful then you children are!"
Esmeralda laughed. "Please! I bet you couldn't beat with your strongest attack!"
Damocles fumed. "I could destroy all of you with my weakest attack! I just choose not to."
"Really?" Eleanor asked. "Then show us."
"Alright then! Don't say I didn't warn you!" Damocles pointed at us. "Mini Sparks of Anger!"
"Alright now guys! Like we practiced!" I yelled.
"Ice Heart Arrows!"
"Soap Revelation!"
Within seconds the flames disappeared.
"Tangled Strings!" Talia wrapped them around Damocles. "Sorry Damo. We can't have you start any more attacks."
"Flaming Spirit Spear!"I grinned at Damocles. "Have a nice trip! I'll sent you home first class." Then I sliced the flaming spirit spear through the air. If looks could kill, then the look Damocles sent me before she went back home, would've killed me a million times.
Lugh appeared a second later. I walked up to him.
"Hey I' sorry. I know it's not your fault." I was about to say I didn't hate him.
But he cut me off "I understand." He smiled. "You have a bigger job a head of you."
I gulped he was right.
Milly woke up a few seconds later.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked.
She looked confused. "Yeah, I was about to come in to the house when this strange lady attacked me. But Riding Hood saved me I think. You want to come in for some cocoa and hear more about it?"
I hesitated. Had she forgiven me or not? But then she smiled, and I had my answer.
"Yeah sure cocoa sounds great." I said. " Plus I want to hear about what Riding Hood looked like up close."
I helped her stand up, then we started to walk towards the door.
"Um Honey?" She said.
"What is it?"
"I know this is going to sound silly, but when I first saw Riding Hood I thought it was you. But it couldn't be right?"
"Yeah. It couldn't be." I argeed.
