Author's Note: Thanks guys to the people who reviewed I really appreciate it.
"Ray…is there something that you know, that we don't," Tolaku asked Ray.
Ray sighed and rubbed his forehead with frustration, "Sorry guys the only thing I can remember is the name of the muses and what their powers are."
"So tell us Ray who was this Melpomene?" Julia asked while Flamerion just observed with a twinkle in her eye.
"She's the muse of tragedy. She's the one with the worst attitude, she IS tragedy. She loves making it around her."
"Wow, talk about a bitch with an attitude," Julia said folding her arms over her chest.
"Anything else?" Crystal said asking Julia.
Julia thought for a minute, 'The whole Julia of the Azcolios is a little creepy.'
"Nope, that's it." Everyone sighed.
"Man this doesn't look good," Max said looking at his feet.
"We don't know how much longer it will take to feel safe," Ray said looking sadly at Max.
"Well, then while we have peace….I'm going to take a long bath!!" Crystal said heading out the door. She didn't notice everyone fall anime style on the floor.
*****
Tolaku held the sleeping form of Rose while Julia brushed Flamerion's yellow fur.
Tolaku chuckled, "I can't believe Crystal is taking a bath at a time like this."
"Well that's Crystal for ya."
"I wanted to ask you a question."
Both Julia and Flamerion looked up at Tolaku, "Do you know what pushed us out in the street?"
Julia's eyebrow's furrowed, "Didn't feel like a physical push."
"It could've been one of the muses?"
"That's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure."
*****
"Ah, this is great," Crystal said as she sunk more in the tub she was in.
"My friends are going to be in danger soon, but with me and Shimmer there there's nothing to worry about."
"It's a bit strange about Rose, I wander what she has to do with this whole thing."
*sigh* "Why am I worrying about this, I should be relaxing in the nice bubble bath." Crystal let out a sigh and sunk more in the tub. Just then she spotted something black on the ceiling. She narrowed her eyes……
…and froze.
*****
Tyson was getting a midnight snack when there was a very high pitch scream through out the house. He dropped what he had in his hands to cover his ears.
"What was that!?!"
"SOMEONE HEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!"
"That's Crystal!!!" He ran down the hallway towards where he was hearing the screaming, He skidded into the room and immediately turned bright red. If he was holding a bright tomato you couldn't tell which one was brighter.
Crystal stopped freaking out, covered herself with a towel quickly, blushing just as much as he was. Then turned towards him.
"TTYYSSSOOOOONNN!!!!!!!!"
"WAIT I CAN EXPLAIN!!!!!"
"DON'T BOTHER!!!! CAUSE YOUR GOING TO BE DEAD!!!!!!" She yelled as she grabbed the shampoo bottle and tossed it with all her might at him. It him square in the head, making dizzy marks in his eyes. But he quickly regained himself and started running out the door with full speed with Crystal right behind him with a bottle of conditioner in her hands.
"PLEASE CRYSTAL I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN TROUBLE!!!!!!"
"STOP MAKING UP STUPID EXCUSES!!!!!"
"BUT IT'S TRUE!!!!"
Julia walked outside her door to see what was going on, "What's wrong? EEEEPPPP!!!!!!" Tyson tried to skid to halt.
"WATCH OUT!!!!!" Tyson yelled just inches away from her.
"KASHAGKERS!!!!" She disappeared just centimeters in front of him, but then he was knocked over full force by Crystal.
"OOF!!!" Tyson had just enough time to turn around before Crystal landed on top of him. They stared into each other's eyes that seemed like forever. Then they heard a door open and Tolaku's head came into view.
She smirked at what she was seeing. Tyson and Crystal both on top of each other on the floor, Crystal just had a towel around her body and their faces were just centimeters away from each other. She just had to chuckle, "Get a room you two!!"
She didn't bother to wait until both their faces were bright red because she had turned back into her room and shut the door.
******
Julia sat Indian style on top a big rock pillar, and she looked kinda pissed off. You see, she is now in the Grand Canyon.
"Note to self, don't use too much power when your panicked like that."
She sighed, "Now I gotta wait about an hour to regain the power I used to get here."
"LIFE SUCKS!!!!!" She listened to her echo that traveled throughout the whole Grand Canyon.
*****
Flamerion's ears twitched she felt a very familiar aura near by. She slowly woke up from her light slumber and walked quietly towards Rose's little bed. She looked in to make sure she was okay and then scurried out the door, out of the house, and down the street.
"Why in the world would she be there of all places!!" She thought out loud as she scurried down the street. Just then she skidded to a stop when she saw a woman disappear.
"Flamerion don't interfere."
"Polyhymnia, Muse of Sacred Song. It's been a while."
The woman known as the muse of sacred song was dressed up in a sacred Japanese outfit. Her beautiful sleek black hair was done in many braids, and then put up in a bun. She had make-up put on her beautiful face that looked around 20 years old.
"What does Erato doing at Kai's place?"
The muse smile, "Erato is trying to convince our little hero what is wrong and what it right."
"Oh really?"
"Melpomene has been giving Kai doubt for a while now. I'm hoping Erato can help see clearly."
Flamerion closed her eyes and smirked, "She's the muse of love poetry and all. I'm sure she can pull something off."
"It's coming can't you feel it?" Polyhymnia said softly.
Flamerion opened her eyes, "Yes, I've been feeling it grow for a while now."
"How long exactly?"
"Around 19 years."
"Well Flamerion, do not interfere with what Erato is doing I feel it will heal what Melpomene has done to his poor heart."
Flamerion nodded, "Fine, I need to go back and guard Rose and Julia after all."
"Yes please do," she said before disappearing.
"Don't worry I will," She was about to walk back to Tyson's place, then she suddenly realized something, "Why can't I feel Julia's aura anymore?"
******
Kai has been having some restless sleep; he's always had nightmares. Mainly about Julia getting hurt right in front of his eyes, and he couldn't do anything about it.
This time he saw Julia just kinda standing there like in a trance. Then a shadow suddenly came over her. And then it separated into seven shadows that surrounded her.
"Julia of the Azcolios, you're ours at last. Now you will conquer the world with your POWER!!!"
Kai woke up with a start, he then turned to the woman that was sitting at the end of the bed. She had gorgeous blue eyes and curly brown hair her bangs were pearly white. She had a spaghetti strap red dress, and wrapped around her arms and back was a long dark red ribbon.
"AH!! Who are you?"
"Kai, please understand that I am here to help your troubled heart."
"……..o…k…."
"Now Kai, why in the world would you give up the woman of your life?"
"She betrayed me!!" He growled.
"Woah tiger, how did she betray you?"
"She went off with another man!!"
"What man? She was stranded on an island by herself with just two friends by her side."
"Max!!!"
"Yes, Max would be the type of person to betray his teammate and his closest friend to break your heart."
"Well I guess Max wouldn't be the type of person to do that. Then where did the baby come from!?!"
"Maybe they don't know either," she said as she got up off the bed and walked towards the open window to look at the moon.
"This is all too confusing," Kai said rubbing his temples on his forehead.
The mysterious woman turned around, "Things will become clear soon, but my advice to you is…..Don't push away love." And she disappeared, leaving Kai alone to think upon her wise words.
Auhtor's Note: Yeah I know. My chapters have been getting shorter. I'll try to fix that. But anyway time to give out some credit.
