The Tarot Time Shifters - Chapter 2: Pentacles - part 1 by Ly the werewolf
Flint the time detective smiled happily at their team's newest 'capture': Cups. The foot-tall, female time shifter was walking alongside Flint, a large smile upon her face. The young caveboy turned to his new friend. " It's really great to have you here, Cups. Now Petra Fina and the Dark Lord can't get you! We'll all protect you! Right guys?" he asked, turning to the rest of the group. Everyone gave a slight nod.
" So, Flint," Sara began, attempting to strike up conversation. " Who's the next tarot we're after?" Cups was the first to answer.
" That would be Pentacles, dear," she replied. " I could smell that money-guzzling scoundrel a mile away." The entire group looked at her quizzickly, some of their faces unreadable. Tony snapped out of it and started to reassure his friends and family.
" Guys, remember what Ms. Grey said? None of the Tarot Time Shifters like eachother. So," he continued, shooting a glance at Cups. " I guess the only choice we have is putting up with it. For now."
" Well, I know what we gotta do now," stated Rocky. " And dat's gettin' some shut eye. " Wordlessly, and without orders, Lupie dashed off ahead of them. Sara started after the wolf, but Merlock held her back.
" Don't worry, my dear. He's probably just looking for safe ground to camp on. " he cooed. Sara immediatly melted at his carefree words and angelic touch. Just this once, she ignored her baka brother and his constant gagging noises, along with his infamous ' I'm gonna be sick 'cause my sister is kissing,' face. Shortly after, Lupie returned. He trotted up to Flint, and mumbled the desired location in his ear. Flint nodded, and motioned the team to follow him.
By the time they arrived, the crescent moon was already high in the sky, like some grotesque grin pasted along with the stars. Conversation was short; if any. After a few 'good nights', and 'nigh...' 's, everyone curled up and allowed their tired bodies to drift off into the land of dreams.
Except Tony.
The youngest of the Goodman twins lay wide awake, entirely conscious of every little sound and movement around them. He glanced over at his sister, Sara. ' What a life she must lead,' he thought. ' Even though she's less than three minutes older than me, she gets all the power. Merlock's a lucky guy....She can be a pain sometimes, but she's a great person. I know I'd snap shortly after if I were a werewolf....' His current train of thought was rudely and abruptly thrown off track by a rustling in some nearby bushes. " H-H-Hello...?" Tony squeaked. He momentarily blushed at his sudden 'girlish outburst.' " W-W-Who's there? Sh-show yourself, uh, whoever you are!"
" Very well." Tony's face turned whiter than a sheet. The young teen watched in horror as the bushes slowly parted, only to reveal......
A time shifter.
" Huh....?" Tony blinked, in awe. He looked the tiny creature up and down. It was roughly the same height as Cups, except this one was a lot thinner. Well, as thin as he could tell. Also like Cups, it was adornded in a long robe, the fine fabric and belt dragging on the ground. While Cups had much rounder, more 'plump' features, almost everything about this creature was round. Like circles. It's head, eyes, nose, even it's oversized ears were all round. ( Does anyone here watch CardCaptor Sakura? Think Kero. ^_~) A single gold yen dangled on a string around it's neck, along with another, very noticable charm - a pentacle. There was another one on a headband; a large pentacle perched proudly atop its forehead. Tony arched an eyebrow. " Let me guess, Pentacles, right?" The tiny time shifter smiled, and waved around a tiny wand with yet another pentacle on it.
" You got it!" it replied gleefully. A small smile played onto Tony's face. ' If I catch Pentacles, one of the Tarot Time Shifters, all by myself, everyone will respect me! My future as a time detective will be set in stone after that!' Pentacles watched, a large sweatdrop sliding down its forehead as Tony giggled away like a madman.
" Hey, uh, Pentacles, can you give me one---" Tony stopped midsentence. Pentacles was waving around his little wand, sparkling dust falling from it onto Tony.
" No one's gonna get me THAT easily," it mumbled angrily. " Now, to have a little fun...Tony, repeat after me: I LOVE MONEY."
" I love money." Tony obidiently replied, his eyes glazed over, void of shine and life.
" You will do exactly as I say, boy. Say it again: I LOVE MONEY." Pentacles ordered.
" I love money...." Still repeating the phrase over and over again, Tony got up and followed Pentacles out of the safety of the camp site, and into the inky darkness of the forest that surrounded them. Instead of the occasional hoot of an owl, or the continuous chirp of crickets, the only thing that could be heard throughout the night was the insane laughter of Pentacles, and his new toy.

Well, how 'bout that? Poor Tony! Oh well. He'll learn that money isn't everything! Nani? Oh -- Moshi moshi, Pentacles! Woah, wait, Pentacles, what....are....you.......I.....love....money......
