Chapter 24: I Heard About You

Note: Charles is pronounced as Sharles.

The three girls were headed towards the gardens in the front of the school, but Vanessa told them to go ahead because she had to go to the restroom. When she finished her business, her phone appeared in front of her!

"Ah!" A blue light emitted from the screen and sucked her into the phone!

Then the phone reemerged, floating in midair inside Room 708 and sucked the sleeping Angel inside! Angel woke up in shock as she and Vanessa floated in the light blue space.

Vanessa said, "Oh no, it got you too."

"Got me?...Vanessa, what's going on?"

"We've been summoned."

"Summoned?" Right at that moment, Vanessa and Angel got absorbed into the bubble.

"Luna!" exclaimed Angel opening her arms wide before hugging her cat. Luna noticed that Vanessa seemed upset then she said, "I'm sorry this is short notice, but another world is in danger."

Vanessa sighed "I guess it can't be helped."

Honestly, Vanessa was looking forward to spending her break with her friends but if she went on a mission, she could avoid going to class a little longer. But the missions usually exhausted her! Mission or not, it seemed that things wouldn't turn in her favor.

"Angel, are you alright now?" Vanessa paused then her eyes widened in shock. "Did Elizabeth see you disappear?"

"I don't think so. Elizabeth told me she had to leave. I took a nap but I'm still a little tired."

"Alright. Get some rest then."

Angel agreed, and Luna transformed their clothes. Vanessa was wearing a pink Hello Kitty cap, pink star shaped sunglasses with blue lenses, a black t-shirt that had Elsa and the tagline 'Let it Go', a pink zipper jacket, blue jeans, and pink sneakers!

Angel wore a short white jumpsuit, white sandals, and a white sunhat!

Afterwards, she sat down and closed her eyes. Luna asked Vanessa what happened that made her owner exhausted. Vanessa explained that she heard Elizabeth say that she used up her powers during the power screening at camp.

Luna said "I see..."

Suddenly, the bubble started moving faster and it jolted Angel awake. "What's happening?"

"WE-WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER ANOTHER WORLD!" Vanessa yelled from fear.

The two girls and cat began screaming their heads off the faster the bubble moved. Fortunately, the bubble slowed down the moment it exited the portal and the sky was bright and sunny. They only took a moment to catch their breath before the bubble began to drop straight down!

The bubble popped! Angel yelled "Oh God!..."

Vanessa began to pray to Buddha frantically while Luna cried her eyes out and Angel screamed. But instead of making impact with the ground, the two girls bounced on a trampoline? After bouncing, their bodies laid still on the trampoline and Luna landed on Vanessa's stomach.

None of them had the strength to react.

A blue eyed, blonde girl stepped out of the front door and was shocked to see the girls fall onto the trampoline.

"Oh, my goodness!" She ran out towards the trampoline. "Are you an angel?"

"Huh?" asked Vanessa.

"What? Yes, I'm Angel."

"Cinderella?!" the girls sat up and exclaimed in unison.

"Um. My name's Cindy."

"Cindy?"

Vanessa whispered in Angel's ear "I'll explain it to you later."

"My goodness! It's exactly as my godmother said!" Cindy clapped her hands together. Vanessa was making a funny face when she saw Cindy's reaction. "Two guardian angels have appeared!"

"WHAT?!" The girls exclaimed in unison.

"My godmother is psychic you see. She told me, I would meet two girls who came from the sky and they would help me watch over the house and stay by my side."

The girls just looked at each other and shrugged.

Angel asked, "Is there some place I can rest for a while?" It was clear from her tone that she was still exhausted.

Cindy said "Oh, no. Are you alright?"

"Just tired."

Cindy said to wait for her. She went back inside the front door and once she returned, she said "The coast is clear but we gotta be quick."

Vanessa sweated. She wasn't the fastest person around, but she had to help. She and Cindy supported Angel under her arms, moved quickly up the stairs until they were safely in Cindy's room, and slammed the door.

Afterwards, they helped Angel lay down on Cindy's bed.

Vanessa looked around Cindy's room and noticed there were cut outs from magazines and pretty drawings of dresses displayed inside a board on the wall.

"Did you draw these?"

"Yes, I did."

"These are really good."

"You think so? It's my dream to be a dress designer."

Vanessa thought to herself "Geez, I get it. I don't have the most amazing dream."

Cindy noticed Vanessa's expression and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Um. Yes!" Cindy shushed Vanessa immediately which caused her to whisper an apology.

"Yeah. It's great. You've got what it takes Cindy."

Cindy thanked Vanessa and Vanessa asked her "Why did you wanna be a dress designer?"

"I just love helping my godmother sew ever since I was little. Plus, I love fashion."

Cindy asked "And what about you. Do you have any dreams?" Then Cindy realized that she didn't get Vanessa's name yet.

"Oh, my name's Vanessa. And the person lying down is Angel."

"Oh. You know, if she had wings, I would've thought she was a real angel."

Vanessa sweated before saying "Oh yeah!"

Cindy shushed her again.

"Sorry. But uh…You asked me what my dream was? Well, it might seem simple compared to yours but…I want to work in an office. Um…Get married to the love of my life and have kids."

Cindy said "That's a wonderful dream. I want to be with the love of my life too…"

Cindy began to blush.

"Ooh. You have someone in mind?"

"Um yes."

"Ooh. Spill. Spill."

"Um…His name is Charles* Charmant. He's kind of popular at my school. But, I think he barely knows who I am…" Cindy looked dejected and asked "What about you, Vanessa? Do you have anyone?"

Vanessa turned red and said "Um…Well…You see…" She fidgeted nervously.

A really loud voice yelled "CINDY! IS THERE ANYONE IN THE HOUSE?!"

Vanessa jumped and sweated. Cindy had to shush her so many times, her family probably heard her!

Cindy said, "I'll be back but I can't wait to hear about him." She winked at Vanessa before leaving the room.
