Gwyn POV- Soon all the guys from class were walking the halls half naked, chanting with symbols on their chests.
"I am totally praising the Sun King" Benny said.
"I praise him twice as hard as you" Ethan said.
"The Sun King is pleased. He will soon return to usyou may cheer" Lucia said.
"Hooray hooray hooray" the boys all cheered.
"Soon the final ceremony will demand the ultimate sacrifice. Who among you is worthy to be my chosen one?"
All the boys begged to be her chosen one then off down the hall they went chanting.
"That Lucia thinks she's so hot it makes my blood boil. Ah ow!" Erika yelled when the sun burned her arm.
"That's not the only things that's boiling. Lucia's heating the whole world up" Sarah said.
"The sun is turning my skin into human fondue. If I find that Sun King, I am going to knock his teeth out."
"Sounds like you may meet him sooner than you think the way Lucia's talking" Gwyn said.
"We need a plan and fast. Think what would Ethan and Benny do?" Sarah asked.
"Panic? Cast spells that backfire?" Gwyn offered.
"No offense but that's a stupid idea" Erika said.
"You know saying 'no offense' doesn't make it less mean" Sarah said.
"Why think like nerdlings when we can kick butts like vampires?" Erika said before walking off.
"I'm not a vampire though" Gwyn said after her then shrugged and followed Erika.
"Okay where's whatserface?" Erika asked as they barged into the classroom Lucia was using.
"The Queen prepares for the Sun King's return" Benny said.
"I'm gonna be the chosen one" Rory said.
"Whatever I'm not leaving without smashing something."
"Well she seems to like that skull" Sarah said.
"I'm all over it" Gwyn said but the boys got in her way.
"We will die in defense of the sacred skull. Especially Rory" Ethan said.
"Whatevs" Erika said, walking towards them.
"Wait! They're under a spell. We need to retreat and come up with a better plan" Sarah said.
"Fine. But we'll be back" Erika said baring her fangs at them before leaving.
Gwyn took one last look back at Benny but he didn't even seem to recognize her. They went to Ethan's house and Gwyn called Benny's Grandma over.
"I'm glad you called me" she said walking in with a huge book under her arms.
"We figured we needed to come up with a plan like Ethan and Benny would" Sarah said.
"And then give up and call you like Ethan and Benny would" Erika added.
"Lucia is an ancient Maztak name. Now the Maztak's were pretty big on gold and animal hearts too" Grandma said opening the book to show the girls.
"The SunKing and Sky Queen created Earth together but an argument between the two brought eternal night to the world" Sarah read.
"Too bad they didn't have couples counseling" Erika said.
"Prophets say one day a Queen will make an offering so pleasing the Sun King will return to the Earth in an explosion of light that will end the mortal world" Sarah finished reading.
"At least I won't have to finish that essay. Yay!" Erika said.
"Lucia had the boys build an altar at school. She said the hour of judgment was tonight at sundown" Sarah said.
"Well what're you doing yammering with an old lady? It's up to you girls to save the world."
"Grandma's right. It's girl power or nothing. We need to get our geek on and come up with a plan fast" Sarah said.
"Yay!" Jane said walking in.
"She said girl power not little girl power" Erika told her.
"Boo."
"We need a plan with the least violence. They're under a spell and our friends…mostly" Gwyn said looking at Erika.
"What's our big plan?" Erika asked after only a few minutes of research which she wasn't doing.
"I'm trying to find Lucia's weakness and her power source. What exactly are you doing?" Sarah asked Erika.
Gwyn smiled to herself as she tried to find a way to break the spell over the boys.
"Lucia's only weakness is her taste in robes and glass heads" Erika said.
"Right her crystal skull! I bet that's her power source. Check this out. The sun's rays are lighting up the skull" Sarah said holding the book out for them.
"So what?" Erika asked.
"So what happened in the original myth? Why did the sun and Earth split up in the first place?"
"Uh long distance relationships never work out?" Erika guessed.
"Nice one" Jane said.
"Here it is they split up because the Moon Goddess came between them."
"Great gotta give the Moon Goddess a call. Got her number?"
"Maybe we don't need the actual moon. Just something that will channel the moon's energy."
"Remember how Benny asked for a Bloodstone? Well there are also Moonstones, they might work if we could find a place to buy them" Gwyn said.
"Well maybe I'm just a 'little girl' but I know a big geek who paid six months allowance to buy Moonstones online. He even sleeps with them under his pillow" Jane said smiling.
Erika walked over and reached under Ethan's pillow but instead of the rocks she pulled out some underwear.
"Ew! Great now I'm gonna have to chew off this hand" Erika said.
Sarah lifted the pillow and grabbed the rocks.
"Okay got'em let's go."
"You two set everything up with the windows and keep the boys distracted the skull is mine." Gwyn said.
"How?" Sarah asked.
"You can't get to the skull without hurting them but I can" Gwyn grinned.
With their plan sorted out and new leather kick butt outfits, they headed over to the school. They covered the school windows with black paint.
"Who dares defile the Sun King's sacred temple?" Lucia yelled.
Sarah, Erika and Gwyn walked into the classroom.
"The weather girls are here" Sarah said.
"And we've got an updated forecast for you" Gwyn grinned.
"Cloudy with a 100% chance of butt kicking" Erika said.
"Warriors, attack!" Lucia said.
Gwyn flicked her fingers, blue sparks flying out and the crystal skull shot high into the air.
"Not so fast Ms. Lucia. Call them off or I drop it" Gwyn said.
"Wait!" Lucia called out but she gave a look to Benny and Rory.
"Wow you look so hot. It's a shame I'm gonna have to destroy you" Benny said.
Gwyn was just distracted enough by Benny that Lucia was able to grab the skull.
"Let's hope in your right mind you think I'm hotter than her" Gwyn said, then she surprised Benny by grabbing him and kissing him.
"So much hotter" Benny said, dazed coming out of the spell trying to kiss her again.
"Save world now, kiss up to me later" Gwyn said pushing Benny behind her.
Rory was distracted by seeing them kiss that he couldn't stop Sarah from placing a Moonstone on his forehead thus breaking the spell on him as well.
"Chosen one needs your help!" Ethan yelled as Lucia had broken the window the girls painted over and let the sun back in.
"Accept this sacrifice my, Sun King. Purify the Earth in eternal fire!" Lucia said holding the skull over Ethan.
"Here's one final offering from the Moon Goddess!" Sarah said tossing a Moonstone to Ethan who put it on Lucia's head causing her to scream and drain her powers.
She stumbled and dropped the skull and it shattered causing Lucia to turn to dust and disappear.
"What happened?" Mr. G asked.
"We saved the world" Sarah said.
"And we looked pretty amazing while doing it" Erika added.
"True story" Ethan said.
"You're showering before you touch me" Gwyn said keeping Benny, whose hands were covered in oil, at bay when he tried to put his arm around her.
"Thanks for saving me… and the world" Benny said later after he showered at home.
"You're welcome" Gwyn said simply.
"I'm really really sorry I blew you off and tried to kill you" Benny said getting down on his knees.
Gwyn chuckled softly and smiled then she took his hands pulling him up.
"Benny, it's okay you were under a spell. I'm not mad" Gwyn told him letting him off the hook.
"I still have to 'kiss up' to you though" Benny grinning stepping in closer to her.
"Oh for sure" Gwyn grinned back wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
