Yozora: LOCK THE DOORS! SHUT THE WINDOWS! CALL THE SWAT TEAM! IT'S COMINNNNGGG!

Everyone: *Sweatdrops*

Me: *Smiles* There's only one thing that scares her more than heights and fire.

Kero: What's that? Yue?

ME: No, more than him too.

Yozora: *Hammers doors and windows* DON'T TELL THEM! THEY'LL FREAK OUT TOO! *Hides in corner and rocks back and forth.*

Me: *Sweatdrops* Just look out for Harmony.

Yozora: Harmony, Harmony, Harmony…No more Harmony!

Me: I better take her to a therapist… Come on sweetie, if you behave I'll take you to see some singers who sing in perfect harmony.

Yozora: AAAAAHHH!

Me: TOTALLY WORTH IT! XD


Yozora pulled on her shirt. "Kero, a little help here!" She grunted. Kero sighed and pulled on her shirt.

"Geez Yozora, you better get a bigger size of PJs." He grunted as he pulled.

They both fell when the shirt came off. "I should, but I'm saving my money. Plus the way you eat, you can consider this exercise." Yozora retorted. Kero sweatdropped.

"Hey!"


Maria as she paid for her groceries. She noticed a girl walking up to her. The girl was short, only a few inches taller than Yozora. Maria blinked. The girl walked very straight. As if slouching were illegal. She walked up to Maria and stared her straight in the eyes. Maria sweatdropped. The girl's hair was brown, and her sharp eyes were a scary red. They seemed to be looking into her soul.

"May I help you?" Maria asked.

The girl nodded. "Yes." She said. Her voice was mature, despite only looking eleven or twleve years old. Maria tilted her head. "Do you know a girl by the name of Harmony?" She asked.

Maria blinked. "Harmony?" She repeated. Maria nodded. "I know one. Why?" She asked.

The girl shifted her weight onto one side. "I need to speak with her that's all." She said.

Maria smiled and nodded to the girl. "She's at school right now." She checked her watch.

"It's about time for free period to begin, you'll probably be able to catch up with her." She said. "Are you a friend?" She asked.

The girl folded her arms and nodded her head. "You can say that. I've known her for a long time." She said. She looked around. "Harmony goes to Readington Elementary right?" She asked.

Maria nodded. "She does." The girl nodded and ran in the direction of the school. Maria blinked. "What a strange little girl." She muttered.


Yozora, Emily, Eli, Sakura, Madison, and Li were sitting on a blanket, eating snacks. Well… except Yozora. "Why aren't you eating?" Sakura asked.

"Momma made these." She explained. "Her food isn't edible…" She muttered.

Emily held out a cookie to her. "Wanna share?" She offered.

Yozora smiled and nodded. "Thanks. Your mom made these right?" She asked. Emily nodded. Everyone looked at them with shock.

"What?" Emily and Yozora asked.

"You two are actually playing nice nice?" Sakura asked.

Emily nodded. "Sure. We may not get along 95% of the time, but the other 5% Yozora can be a real sweetheart." She said.

Yozora nodded. "So can she, but other times we act like cats and dogs."

The two girls looked at each other and giggled. "Right?" They said in unison. Everyone sweatdropped.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Emily looked in the east direction. "She's here early…" She muttered. Yozora paled and got up to run, but Emily grabbed her shirt.

"HEY HARMONY!" A female voice called. The girl Maria had spoken to was running toward them. Yozora tried harder to get out of Emily's strength. The girl spoke again, angrily. "SO YOU WERE HIDING IN JAPAN THIS WHOLE TIME!" The voice roared.

Yozora gulped. "Emily please, I'm begging you, let me go!" She pleaded. "Please, let me go! Please!"

The girl jumped. "Well…" Emily muttered. "Okay."

Just as she let go and Yozora jumped out of the way, the girl had landed from aiming a kick at her. "I missed!" She growled. Yozora panted as she stared at the girl, on the ground. The girl was wearing baggy pants, ripped on the left knee, black sneakers, and a long sleeved shirt. "Been a while Harmony."

She snarled. Yozora said nothing. The girl took steps toward her. She scooted away. "Get up." The girl snapped.

Yozora scrambled to her feet. "What are you doing here Max?"

She asked. "Max? Isn't that a boy's name?" Madison asked.

"I'm Maxine Hanson. I go by Max, got a problem?" She snapped. Madison hid behind Sakura and shook her head. Max glared at Yozora. "So you decided to hide in Japan?" She hissed.

Yozora gulped. "I wasn't hiding. I was transferred here. My question is why are you here?" She asked.

Max glared, and Yozora flinched. "I'm here to challenge you." She declared.

Yozora's eyes twitched. "What? A-again…? You gotta be kidding me…!" She squeaked. Max glared.

Eli blinked. "She doesn't appear to be the joking type." He muttered. "Maxine, where exactly did you come from?" He asked.

Max glared hard at him. "The name's Max, kid." She snapped. "And where I come from is none of your concern." She growled. Eli sweatdropped.

"Right." He muttered. Max returned her gaze to Yozora. She flinched.

"I challenge you Harmony!" She declared. "Meet me in the park right after school in four days! Got it?" She commanded.

Yozora sweatdropped and nodded very quickly. Max shoved past her and left. Yozora stood stiff. Eli walked toward her. Her eyes were a bright blue. "Not again…" She muttered.

"Are you okay Yozora?" Eli asked with concern.

Yozora's eyes closed and fell backwards. Everyone gasped. Eli ran up to her and caught her. "Hey, what happened?" Li asked.

Eli shrugged. "I think she just fainted from shock." He assumed. They looked at Emily. "Just exactly who was that girl?" Li asked worriedly Emily flicked her bangs.

"That's Maxine Hanson." She answered. She folded her arms. "She may look like a little girl, but she's actually two whole years older than us." She explained. "You mean she's 14?" Madison asked. Emily nodded and blew at a stray hair.

"Yep. She's petite, but still growing. She also considers Yozora here as her "eternal rival" and has followed her for a while." Emily looked in Max's direction with confusion. "Max usually comes over after a two and a half years. It's only been a year and a half since Yozora's transferred." She sighed. "Max is early." She said with a quick shudder.

"What's this rivalry about?" Eli asked.

Emily folded her arms. "While I find it silly, this all started because Max called Yozora "Harmony"."

Li blinked. "What? Isn't that her middle name?"

She asked. Emily sweatdropped. "Yeah." She sighed. "This all started because Max made fun of her."

FLASHBACK!

Little five-year-old Yozora stared at seven year old Max. "So your name is Harmony?" Max asked.

Yozora ate her cookie. "No. My name is Yozora." She said. "My middle name is Harmony." She added.

Max smirked. "That's funny. You have such a girly name but you're almost a bigger tomboy than I am!" She laughed.

"So what?" Yozora asked.

"Well, it's stupid. What kind of mom names their kid Harmony if she's gonna be a tomboy? A dumb one that what kind." Max laughed.

Yozora glared at her. "You take that back right now!" She snapped. "My mommy gave me that middle name for a reason! You have no right to insult her!" She barked, her eyes a very dangerous black. Max blinked. "But if we're talking about other people's mothers, what about yours?" Yozora hissed. "What kind of mom let's her daughter grow up being so disrespectful!"

She snapped. "A mom who knows what's good for her!" Max barked. Yozora clenched a fist and the two girls started fighting.

End!

"If she never made fun of Yozora's middle name they'd probably end up as friends. But I guess it's Max's own fault." Emily sighed. "Yozora's never won a single fight against her."

Sakura sweatdropped. "Not one?" She asked.

Emily shook her head. "Nope. Not a single one." She sighed.

Sakura's eye twitched. "Get up! You have some serious training to do!"

Yozora was out cold. Li sighed. "She ticklish." Eli blinked. Li tickled the petite redhead in Eli's arms.

She giggled before laughing. She squirmed. "Q-Quit it! Q-Quit! I'm s-serious!" She squealed before scrambling away. "That…was cruel…" She panted.

Eli chuckled. "It wasn't me." He said.

Yozora looked at Li knowingly. He sweatdropped. "It was you right?" She accused. Li looked away. He shrugged.

"You caught me." He sighed. They stared at each other. Everyone backed away. Although, clueless Eli had to be dragged away.

Yozora and Li continued to stare. No one was there. "You jerk!" Yozora laughed. She pounced on him and they both fell backwards. "How would you like it if I tickled you?" She asked.

Li paled. "You wouldn't." He said.

"Wanna bet?" Yozora asked.

"Don't you dare!" Oh. She dared. Li laughed as Yozora tickled him. He squirmed and crawled away. He panted. "Not cool." He muttered.

Yozora stared at him. "What?" He asked. "I've never heard you laugh before." She whispered.

"Yeah you have." He muttered.

"Nuh-uh." She said. "Sure the occasional chuckle or snicker, but not like that. That was a real laugh Li. It's cute." She said. Li turned red. "Li? Li, you're red. Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.

Li shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm just hot." He assured.

She smirked. "Okay then, if you're hot…" She pulled out a cold water bottle from her bag. She smirked again. "How about I cool you down?" She poured it over Li's head.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"I did say that I'd cool you down!" She laughed.

Li sighed as he wrung out his hair. "That's a little too cool if you ask me." He mumbled. Yozora frowned. "Oh, I'm sorry Li." She apologized.

She hugged him. He blushed. "Are you warmer now?" She asked. Li looked to the side. "A little." He muttered. Yozora kissed him on his cheek. He turned completely red. "I…" He mumbled.

Yozora released him and smiled. "I knew that would work! Come on, free period's almost over!" She took his hand and dragged him inside.


Yozora held the Fight Card and her bell. "Are you sure this is a good way to train Sakura?"

"Hey, Emily said you have yet to beat Max in a match. Which I don't get because you beat the Fight Card without magic." Sakura insists.

"It's not that she's stronger than I am, it's just that she's faster and more cunning!" Yozora snaps in effort to defend herself.

Li was up in a tree. "Why don't you just do it? Transform the Fight Card and train. You wanna beat that crazy girl's winning streak don't you?" He sighs. She looked at her feet. "Just do it."

Yozora took a deep breath in. "Right." She tossed the card up and over her bell. "I call upon the power of my star," She began. A light surrounded her. "Ancient forces near and far, Clow card discard your former might and draw your power from my light!" She chanted. "I, Clow Mistress Yozora, command you under our contract! STAR CARD!" The card changed. It looked like a Sakura Card, only yellow. She smiled at the new card. "Fight Card, release!"

Fight's outfit appeared to be unchanged, the only difference was that she had changed from blue to very light yellow. Suddenly, Fiery's Card glows and he makes himself known.

"Yo, Fight! What's up?" He greets. Fight says nothing. Fiery shrugs and turns to Yozora, only to sweatdrop to find her with red eyes.

"Fiery, you can be a real nuisence!" She growled threateningly. Fiery couldn't help but step back and scratch his head. He looked at Fight.

"Total color change! That's not a good look for you Fight!" He laughed. Fight puffed out her cheek and got into Fiery's face.

"Keep your opinion to yourself, Ashbreath!" She snapped.

Yozora blinked. "Hey, what do you know, Fight can talk." The two cards glared at each other until Yozora smacked Fiery on the head with her bell. "Get back into your card." She hissed.

Fiery smirked. "Fine then." He pecked her on the cheek before returning to his card form. Yozora touched her cheek and hissed

"He burned me." She mumured. She put her hand on the burn. "Neptune." The burn healed almost automatically. "That always feels weird." She turned to Fight. "All right, Fight, I need to train with you." She got into a stance. "Your move."

Fight charged and the sparring began.

Nineteen minutes later...

Fight and Yozora laid on the ground, breathing heavily. "Man...I've...been...slacking." Yozora groaned. Fight's breathing wasn't as heavy.

"When is this match of yours anyway?" She asked. Yozora sat up.

"In four days after school." She sighed.

Fight sat up. "Oh." The two girls stared at each other for a while. After a long pause, "You're gonna get creamed." She said. Li, Madison and Sakura sweatdropped.

Yozora's eyes turned somewhat red. "What?!" She pulled on Fight's cheeks. "How can you say that!?"

"What, you said you've been slacking, and four days won't be enough to catch up and-okay my face does not work that way!" Fight grunted. She pulled on Yozora's cheeks as well.

Madison smiled. "Well, this has to be one interesting training session. Their just like sisters!" She laughed.


Yozora: *is still fighting with Fight*

Me: Yeah, she's totally gonna get creamed.

Sakura: We should make them stop.

Li: I dunno, I find this to be very entertaining.

Madison: If they keep this up, they're gonna have sore cheeks.

Me: *Sighs* okay. I'll stop them. Harmony, Max skipped the fight to tomorrow.

Yozora: WHAAATTTT?! *Let's go of Fight and passes out of shock*

Fight: *sweatdrops*

Sakura: And now! The moment you've been waiting for...! It's time for...!
