Chapter 30: Welcoming a New Member
Exhausted, Vanessa began to fall backwards, and Fairy Godmother waved her wand, making Vanessa float onto a bunch of cushions. Vanessa smiled with relief to see that Cindy was back to being Cinderella. Angel and Sakura walked over to Vanessa.
Angel leaned over and said, "We did it."
Sakura jumped up and said "Yeah!"
Cinderella held out her arms and said, "We all did it."
"Indeed, we did." smiled Fairy Godmother.
"Well done everyone." said Luna.
"You can talk?!" asked Sakura which made everyone else giggle.
Prince Charming walked over and wrapped his arm behind Cinderella's back.
Vanessa smiled at the pair and thought that even if Cindy couldn't return Charles's jacket, Cinderella and Prince Charming were back together again.
As if Prince Charming read Vanessa's mind, he stepped forward and said "And I should thank you for returning my jacket earlier and trying to remind me about my princess. I apologize for my rudeness earlier and for making you feel frustrated."
"It's nothing." replied Vanessa.
She smiled, seeing her friends, Luna, Fairy Godmother, Cinderella and the Prince, stand near her.
Vanessa's phone flew out from her hand and floated upwards, shot a beam of blue light into the sky, which created a portal that made Vanessa, Angel, Sakura, and Luna float upwards.
Cinderella and Prince Charming had shocked expressions when they saw that the group was departing.
Luna closed her eyes and golden light surrounded her body which created a bubble that enclosed the group.
Vanessa yelled "Goodbye Cinderella! Goodbye Prince! You two stay together and live happily ever after now! Goodbye Fairy Godmother! Thanks for all your help!"
Sakura waved "Bye!"
Cinderella yelled "Thank you for all you've done Vanessa! And I know you'll achieve all your dreams! Don't give up on your love either!"
Sakura stared at Vanessa and asked in an exaggerated tone "Your love?"
Angel covered her mouth in surprise. "Who are you in love with Vanessa?"
Luna smiled knowingly.
Vanessa waved her hands in exasperation "You guys!"
The group below waved at the group in the bubble and vice versa until Vanessa's group were out of sight.
After Luna finished healing Vanessa and Angel from their fatigue, Sakura began bombarding them with questions. Why did they look like people from Sailor Moon Crystal? Why were they wearing prom dresses? When did Vanessa started living in a dorm with Angel? Did they save other worlds before this?
Vanessa yelled "Stop young lady! I can only answer one at a time. So, what was your first question?"
Sakura repeated it.
"Well… I guess, that happens so we can fit in the animated worlds? It just happens."
Angel nodded.
Vanessa pointed "But, you just look like an anime girl."
"Really? I wanna see!"
Vanessa took out her phone and put it on selfie mode and held it out for Sakura to see.
"Ooh. ~"
Angel sweat-dropped, seeing Sakura's reactions.
Sakura asked her second question then Vanessa explained that Cinderella had been changed into a girl in the senior year of high school and instead of going to the ball, she went to prom and they came with her.
"Ooh. Was it nice?"
Vanessa and Angel shook their heads.
Sakura's tone fell flat "Oh. Anyways, why are you living in a dorm with Angel?"
Angel explained that they were attending a summer camp hosted by the Magical Baculus Academy for witches to learn magical skills and that they were both in the same room and the same house, the house of Leo because they had active powers.
"Ooh. That kinda sounds like Harry Potter."
"That's what I thought!" exclaimed Vanessa.
"By the way, what other worlds did you save and why do you need to save them?"
Vanessa replied, "I saved Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood."
"Oh my god, you saved Inuyasha and did you meet Ed?!"
"Yes. ~ Even better, I got his autograph."
Sakura closed her eyes and tilted her head up "Oh. ~ I'm so jelly, I wanna meet Inuyasha and Ed too!" When she reopened her eyes and faced Vanessa, she asked "But, who put the bad energy on the clock tower? And why are the other worlds in danger?"
Vanessa replied "That's the thing. We don't know. Someone puts a bad energy on an object in the world and it distorts the story of the world."
"Like Eto Rangers?"
Vanessa nodded.
Sakura bounced "Oh! I wanna help you guys! I wanna help save the other worlds. Can I help, please?"
"Whoa there." said Vanessa who was surprised at the dip the bubble made when Sakura jumped. "Of course, I wanna say yes, but I guess it's up to Luna… After all, she was the one who guided me when my phone got the magic app."
Angel asked, "What do you think Luna?"
Luna put her paw to her chin in thought then said out loud "Well, you certainly did help us… And you've already gotten yourself into a bit of danger…" Luna looked up at the young adults "Are the two of you willing to keep Sakura from getting into too much harm if possible?"
Sakura puffed out her cheeks since she felt that she wasn't a child that needed to be watched.
Vanessa exclaimed "Of course! She's my best friend."
Angel nodded and Luna looked at her owner and said, "I know you will."
Luna smiled with her eyes closed "Alright then. Vanessa give me your phone."
When Vanessa placed her cell phone down in front of the black cat, Luna placed a paw on its screen. The screen read "Add New Member? ...Request Accepted."
Luna said, "Welcome to the team Sakura."
Vanessa hugged Sakura and the two friends said "Yes!"
Afterwards, Sakura began pestering Vanessa about who her mysterious love was, and Angel joined in.
Vanessa was stubborn and refused to tell.
Sakura said "I'm your bestie! It's not fair that Cinderella gets to know."
"I didn't tell her his name. ~"
Angel softly said, "I guess we should stop bothering her now."
That made Sakura deflated. Afterwards, Sakura was the first to reach her stop when the bubble began bouncing up and down.
"Wait! What do I tell my friends? They'll think I've been gone for a long time…"
Luna replied "You only spent part of the day. One day in the world is one minute. They'll probably think you disappeared on them for a few seconds."
"Whew ok. Bye guys. ~" waved Sakura.
Everyone bade goodbye to Sakura until Vanessa clicked "yes" to the notification "1 member ready to go home! Return?"
Sakura got sucked into the phone and Vanessa and Angel opened their eyes wide.
"She'll be fine." reassured Luna. "Get some rest."
The two girls laid back in the bubble and Luna reverted their prom outfits back into the ones they wore before. After a while, the girls fell asleep…
