Mitsumi never thought he would be looking at a place like this. He had no fond memories here. He would pass by here and think a ghost would try to grab him-Mitsumi and Beckett were in the drama for the mirror. It may be a weird phobia to be afraid of a drama room. The plays were always creepy, the masks they used scared him, and the lighting reminded him of an Amish horror film. But maybe it was a good thing the drama scared him. It meant they were good at acting. Mitsumi looked under every seat in the drama studio looking for the mirror.
" Are you sure this is where you hid it?" Mutsumi asked.
" Positive. If someone left it behind I wanted to be sure they would find it," Beckett said.
" Smart," Mutsumi said. " But what if the person who left that mirror here was someone evil. Y'know, like a witch or a goblin queen. More importantly how do you not know where it is?"
" I wasn't thinking straight. I put it under one of the chairs so no one could find it. I'm sorry."
" It's okay. Let's just find this mirror so we can put this whole mess behind us." Mutsumi saw a gum wrapper under one chair. There were five wrappers under the seat and Mutsumi picked them. " What kind of lazy person can't even put a candy wrapper in a garbage?"
Mitsumi decided to throw all the gum wrappers into the garbage. Mitsumi noticed the glisten of something small in the trash. Did someone drop their bracelet in it. Mitsumi picked the piece out of the trash.
Mitsumi was holding it. The piece of mirror Beckett was looking for. It was the mirror, the same shape and size Beckett mentioned when they entered the drama room. There was only one problem. The glass in the mirror was shattered. " Beckett."
" Yes."
" I think I found your mirror."
" Really?"
" Yes. I'm holding it right now. We might have a little problem." Beckett moved towards Mitsumi. She was shocked to see her mirror, the only mirror that could take her back to her ordinary self, was shattered. " Oh no. This can't be. That mirror was my only way to be normal again."
" Maybe the magic will still work." Mitsumi said. " You have to try."
" It's not going to work," Beckett said. " I'm just going to be cursed like this forever."
" Come on, Beckett, try."
Beckett was going to listen to Sailor Mercury. She took the mirror away from Mitsumi and rubbed her hand on the handle. She believed this was like the Wizard of Oz. If she rubbed it three times maybe it would work. " Take me back to the way I was. I want to be normal again. Please make me normal again." Beckett waited for her transformation. She wanted to be back to her normal sweet self. But nothing happened. " I feel...I feel...no different."
" But that can't be. Was that really all you had to say?"
" Yes. I was sure it was. Why didn't it make me normal?"
" Because the mirror has been jinxed." Beckett and Mitsumi turned around. There was a woman, Caucasian, hair as wispy as a red-faced monkey's, wearing a red dress." Rather the mirror has been hexed. It was my magic that destroyed the mirror."
" You did this?" Mutsumi gasped.
" Yes."
" Can you reverse it?"
" I could. It's my sorcery that broke the mirror. I'm talking slow because you might be recovering from a hangover. I will not fix the mirror. Have fun with it being broken, and enjoy your malediction."
" Look her, madam," Mutsumi said. " you will restore Beckett's mirror. She is not a puppet for your little plan. She is a human being and she deserves to live her own life."
" Human life? She is only a part of my ploy. She was born to make monsters for the Dark Kingdom."
" Dark Kingdom? Star mentioned them to me. He said something about them being his enemies."
" There are over thirteen million people in this country we are going to subjugate into monsters. I'm not like the other members of the Dark Kingdom. When I start a plan I expect it to start off small but escalate into an army. Do you like my plan. Isn't it beautiful?"
" It's not beautiful. You're controlling people like slaves. You're giving them no free will and destroying their thoughts. That's cruel, wicked, and foul."
" That's why I love it. It's so evil and terrorizing. No one ever expects it to happen. No one expects such a legion of deleterious beasts could come from the hands of a simple high school girl. You shrubs can do nothing against it."
