Title: Cards
By: Ella aka Serena
Mina woke up and looked around her room. Everything seemed normal, but it didn't feel normal. It was 10 in the morning, and she got out of bed. She changed into some comfortable clothes and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
Mina's Mother had set the table up for breakfast. Mina's dad had already left for work. Mina's Mother was pretty. She had blue eyes and short brown hair. Mina sat down at the table and grabbed a muffin.
"I heard what happened about Madison." Mina's Mother was trying to start a conversation.
"Hmm." Mina made a little sound. Mina sat down in a chair across from Mina and made a face as if she didn't know what to do or say.
"The police will find Madison, whatever happened to her. So how did you sleep?" No they won't. They can't find Madison. Queen Beryl has taken her hostage, Mina thought.
"Silent." Mina took a bite of her muffin.
"Aren't you the least bit hungry? You missed dinner last night."
"No. I think Madison's disappearance has really effected me." Mina's Mother frowned. She knew that Madison and Mina had been friends since grade school, so they were really important to each other. Someone then opened the mudroom door and came in and Mina leaned over in her seat to see who it was. It was Jamie. What was he doing here?
"Thank you, Jamie. Here's your pay."
"You're welcome, Mrs. Aino." Mina looked a little bit annoyed.
"What are you doing here, Jamie?" she asked.
"Jamie helps out around the house while your father is away." Mrs. Aino explained. Jamie looked over at Mina with his mean looking face, and although his eyes were mean looking, he was hiding something in there. He has a secret... Is it anything like my secret? Mina thought.
"Jamie didn't think you would be feeling too good today, either, so he stopped by and offered to take you for some ice cream." Mrs. Aino smiled cheerfully. I looked at Jamie with eyes that said, "I know you're hiding some secret..." and then Jamie's expression changed for once. He smirked like it was all a game, then went back to his mean looking face. Mina went to the mudroom and put her shoes on as Jamie waited outside for her. She spotted a card on the ground and picked it up. It had "The Sun" printed on it, and the design on it was beautiful! It had a picture of a yellow sun with a face, the background was a reddish orange color, and the flames on the sun looked like fire. Mina stepped outside with Jamie and we walked along the streets of London together.
The first few minutes, the two kids walked in silence. Then Jamie spoke up.
"I see you found my card." Jamie continued looking at the pavement.
"Oh, yes, I did ." Mina handed it back to Jamie and got curious.
"Those aren't normal cards, cards that you would find around here. What are they? What are they for?" she asked.
"Something. What's that locket in your pocket for?" he asked.
"Something," Mina answered. She knew what he was saying: We all have our secrets. Mina and Jamie walked more in silence. As odd as it sounds, Jamie started to hum a tune. Mina looked at him.
"What's that you're singing?" she asked. Jamie continued huming, than spoke it in Japanese.
"Nee watashitachi yarukkyanai ne. Tatakitsubushite yaru wa kono te de aku wo. Sou yo sore made ganbaranakutcha. Mezamenasai aoi senshi yo," he paused, "Mezamenasai ai no senshi yo, ne?"
"I'm not sure..." Mina said. She knew that he asked a question by the tone of his voice. Mina looked at the street sign and spoke again.
"You didn't really plan on taking me for ice cream, did you? That was just an excuse for my Mother."
"You figured it out."
"Hmm..." Mina thought. Jamie sighed and sat down on a bench and Mina sat down beside him. A few more minutes of silence, then they started a conversation.
"You can sense things now, too, can't you?" Jamie asked. He stared at the ground.
"A little bit. How do you know that?" Mina was curious how he always got information.
"You're Sailor V. A lot of power comes from you." Mina looked stunned.
"Who does that make you?" Mina asked. Mina didn't quite understand herself, but Jamie knew what she meant. Mina thought it out while Jamie was thinking an answer.
"A Card Captor."
"What is a Card Captor, Jamie?"
"It's a person who is destined to catch cards that can cause a mass amount of destruction, and once these cards are caught, the captor can use their magic powers to fight."
"That explains that card I found. That's amazing that you captured that card!" As the day rolled into the afternoon, Jamie and Mina sat on the bench talking about their destinys.
