CosmicGiraffe: I'm glad that you like my story! You've written a story about the next generation of guardians as well? Cool! I'll have to read it! As for the picture, well…I wrote an edit on the first page so I wouldn't confuse you! Hope that works!

Yolee woke up with a start, letting out a moan. "Isabelle…? What are you doing?" Isabelle glared at her sister. Isabelle glared at her. "Why'd you wake me up? It's only 7:30…"

"Exactly, and what time does school start?" Isabelle asked harshly, putting her delicate hands on her wrists.

"8:30…so I still have plenty of time to sleep." Yolee muttered, starting to roll over.

"Wrong! We're GOING to be on time today, if I have to force you to be!" Isabelle hissed. Yolee looked at her twin in annoyance. Isabelle was already dressed, wearing a pleated blue-jean skirt and a tee-shirt. Yolee slowly sat up and changed into some jeans and a tank top.

Isabelle looked at the clock with anxiety and annoyance. It appeared that they were STILL going to be late, even after she worked so hard to get her sister up!

"C'mon now, Izzi. We can make it…" Yolee said, trying to sound enthusiastic and calling Isabelle by her nickname. Yolee knew her sister's expressions very well, and she could tell that Isabelle was worried.

When the clock hit 8:30, Isabelle jumped up grabbing Yolee's wrist. "C'mon!" she said.

"I haben'd finneshed mi toash." Yolee said, her mouth full of the toast that she crammed inside.

"Oh well!" Isabelle said, running as fast as she could towards the school, dragging Yolee behind her.

As Isabelle reached for the door handle, her sister panting behind her, the bell rang. Sighing, Isabelle turned to her sister and glared, anger dancing in her eyes. "I wake you up early, and you STILL manage to make us get here late! It's after the late bell, AGAIN!" And with that, she stomped in, muttering an apology.

"Why are you apologizing? The first bell just rang. You're early!" Mrs. Lair said, trying to sound reassuring rather than shocked. Isabelle, who didn't believe her teacher, looked at the clock. 8:30. But, that was impossible. She had left at 8:30, and her house was a ten-minute walk from Sheffield Institute. Biting her lip in confusion and surprise, she took her seat. While Yolee was surprised as well, she affected a carefree look about her face. After all, that's how it was with her: rolling with the punches.

Mrs. Lair stared at Isabelle, shaking her head in shock. She was early. Moreover, she AND Yolee were early. She looked at Ashleigh. Well, at least one student didn't have a case off tardiness. She watched as Reina made it in on time as well. Well, Reina was usually on time, unless soccer got in her way, so that wasn't much of a big deal. Irma started to write the objective on the front board as the late bell rang and Fallon slipped inside, not incredibly late, for once.

Taranee stared at the rest of the guardians, while they were meeting in Cornelia's penthouse. It was lunch break, so Taranee and Irma had to hurry if they wanted to be back in time for their next classes. Cornelia, Will, and Hay Lin were luckier, though. Cornelia was a stay-at-home-mom, since she had married a wealthy man and didn't need to work (which was handy, since she had to constantly watch Fallon and Caleb). Hay Lin was a successful restaurant owner and a chef, along with painting as a side-job. Will was a veterinarian, so her hours were somewhat flexible.

"So, recap what you've learned, Will…" Taranee asked, looking at her.

"Alright; from what I've learned, Phobos is being let out of Candracar. Furthermore, the new guardians have been chosen—"

"Good timing." Irma interrupted wryly.

"Does that mean that our duties are over?" Hay Lin asked, looking around.

"As I was saying," Will said, somewhat sternly, "The guardians have been picked. I've also learned that they can't know about being a guardian until they are all friends." Will added. "The powers just won't work unless they are connected, as you all may remember."

"So, we have to play friend-matchmaker?" Cornelia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Seems like it." Hay Lin nodded.

"The new guardians are a pair of twins—Isabelle and Yolee Raben, Reina Johnson, Ashleigh Evans, and…Fallon." Will announced, not bothering to say Fallon's last name. They all knew her. Cornelia's eyebrows raised.

"I should've guessed…" Cornelia sighed. Irma listened to the names and shook her head.

"I figured it was them. These girls will be impossible to make into friends…" Irma said, looking to Taranee, who nodded in agreement. "Cornelia, I'm sure you've heard Fallon complain about Reina. I told you about the fight they had in class, right? No? Well, by the end of it, they were standing up and yelling at each other. No, this won't be poss—" Irma was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Cornelia stood up, crossed the house, and opened the door slowly. "Hello?" In front of her stood Mrs. Rudolph, the guardians' former math teacher and a Metamoorian subject.

"Hello, Cornelia. I have some news from Queen Elyon." Mrs. Rudolph whispered, and at once Cornelia admitted the elderly woman into her home. When she came in, the guardians—well, former guardians now, apparently—each greeted the woman as she sat down. "Queen Elyon sends a message." She said quickly. "Apparently, her daughter, Bethany, is missing, and she suspects that it was a supporter of Phobos. She thinks that her daughter was kidnapped to show Phobos that some people are still loyal."

Cornelia bit her lip. "Tell Elyon that we'll get the new guardians on the case ASAP and that we will help, too. Can we have a description of the girl?"

Mrs. Rudolph nodded. "Bethany looks much like her mother, except that she wears her hair slightly different; only one braid instead of two. Other than that, you would think you were looking at the queen at first glance." Mrs. Rudolph stood up. "I don't want to take up your time, so I'd best be going." She said quickly,

"Thank you for telling us!" Will said, seeing Mrs. Rudolph out. "We're going to have to rush to get the girls to be friends, now." Will said, when she returned. "There really isn't much time, now."

Isabelle grinned as she made it to class on time, again. It was the second day in a row, now, that she had left at 8:30 and arrived at 8:30. Something was up, and she knew it. She just didn't know what it is.

"Did you hear that we've got a new student?" Isabelle asked Reina, looking at her.

"Umm…yeah. I heard two days ago. She's sitting right behind you…" Reina replied, pointing to Ashleigh, who waved as she raised her eyebrows.

"Not Ashleigh! ANOTHER new student!" Isabelle sighed, watching as the door opened.

Well, that's chapter two for you! XD Hope you liked it! If you have any questions, just ask away! I'll try to answer them ASAP!
