Chapter 2
Botan, Cindy, and Maryann were sitting on one of the benches near the soda machines. Botan was about to tell them everything, about the three worlds when a bell rang. Cindy and Maryann stood up. "We have to go, Botan, sorry." Cindy said
"Can we finish this after school?" Maryann asked
"I suppose so." Botan said unsure, "Okay," Happiness retuning to her voice.
Maryann and Cindy went to their next class, English. They Sat apart from each other. All they could do was think of what Botan could have wanted them for and what was going on in school. It seemed dry and empty. Then the lights started to flicker and stop in a blink of an eye. "What was that?" Cindy yelled loudly for no apparent reason other than to be loud.
"Just power serge." Said Mr. Perez the teacher. "So next word is Undulate." he continued with his spelling test. But it was far more than a power surge it was a sign of warning. After that class Maryann and Cindy went their separate ways. Cindy had a creative writing class and Maryann had a Drama class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maryann took her set in the last class of the day and wondered also about Botan and what she had wanted. Maryann was pulled from her trance when the guy she had been crushing on since the fifth grade waved his hands in front of her.
"You okay?" He asked, "Mr. Thatch asked you a question." He said nodding toward the teacher.
"Oh, sorry Mr. Thatch, is there a problem?" Maryann said.
"You need to pay better attention in class." He said and continued with his lesson. Maryann glanced at her crush, Toshiro, he moved to Hawaii from Japan. He had Short black spiked hair, and brown eyes and he could have any girl he wanted. When she saw him look at her she turned away. He pulled his desk closer, "Hey, you want to hang out with me after school?" He asked
Maryann looked at him as if he were crazy, "what do you mean? I always walk home with you," she said.
"No, no I mean you to go and see a movie?" He asked and started to blush.
"Sure. What movie is it?" Maryann asked
"I don't know, let's just pick when we get there. Like spontaneously." He said.
"Mr. Toshiro, would you like to share what you have to say with the rest of the class?" Mr. Thatch asked. Toshiro sank in his chair and blushed as the whole class glanced at him.

At the same time Cindy was writing a poem. All of a sudden she began to think of roses, she loved the way they smelled and the meaning each color represented. Cindy took out her favorite blue pen and just wrote every word that popped into her head. Not once thinking of Botan or what she had to say. Not thinking of anything but the flowers she loved so much. Cindy was lost in her own world. Cindy began to feel a tear fall down her cheek. Noticing this, she wiped it before anyone could ask what was wrong. She hated it when people felt sorry for her. So Cindy kept her depression hidden. After finishing her poem she held it up and read it to herself.
Crimson roses bloom
As spring comes into view
As lovers dance in air
As much as I love you
Crimson roses bloom
When you tell me you love me
When I say the same
When this happens I feel free
Crimson roses bloom
How does this feel?
How do you know
That this feeling is real?
Crimson roses bloom
Remember when you're far away
Remember this is true
Remember that
Crimson roses bloom

After School Cindy and Maryann walked to the soda machines to meet Botan but she was not there. The two girls waited for thirty minutes and when Botan did not show up, they thought she was a figment of their imaginations.
Cindy, Maryann and, Toshiro walked to Cindy's house from school. "So, Toshiro," Cindy started with an evil grin, "You finally asked Maryann out." Cindy brought a hand to her face to wipe fake tears away, "My little Toshiro is growing up," she taunted.
"Yeah, I am." He said, "he took Maryann's hand in his. Maryann started to blush. Just then Cindy felt a surge of power and felt the ground shake. The there was a loud clash of thunder. Then rain came in big drops. Cindy and Maryann walked under the carport and watched as Toshiro stood in the rain.
"What are you doing? Get out of the rain!" Maryann called. As she said it he came up to her and pulled her into the rain. "Ahhh! No! Toshiro I'm getting wet."
"So. It's only a little water." He said and drew her in for a hug. Cindy just sat a watched for five minutes before joining them in the watery abyss.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maryann was so happy about her date with Toshiro, she spent the last moments at Cindy's house getting ready. Cindy's parents were not home to interrupt them as they spoke about teen stuff that they would never understand. The rain had gotten worse after six and the lighting more dangerous. Maryann was fixing her eyeliner when the power went out. Cindy did not panic and found candles. As the lighting splashed every room with a blinding light, Cindy noticed a dark figure with dark hair, and a gleaming sword. "Maryann? Did you see that?"
"No. What?" She said in a bummed voice for her date would surely be canceled.
"I though I just saw someone outside. Oh well." Cindy shrugged as she looked out the window and saw nothing. "What was with that Botan girl?" Cindy asked, neither wanting to bring it up. "Do you think she needed our help with something?" Cindy asked all worried.
"I don't know." Maryann said, "why didn't she meet us after school?" Maryann and Cindy sat on Cindy's bed and continued to talk. Another bight flash entered Cindy's room. They heard talking right outside the walls, and one voice was very familiar, "get them," he ordered. When the girls heard this they stood up and peered out the window, and the light flew in and they saw a mob of angry people. Only they looked bluish in color and looked as if they were mindless. The leader was Toshiro. As the people circled the house Cindy and Maryann began to worry. What would happen next?
Yes what will happen to them? What the hell is going on with the people oh Hawaii? Huh? I don't know find out next time.. And don't worry it will get better, it's just a slow starter be patient
