I don't own Zatch Bell.
Last time: "He…he's my…my…brother!" Kalonni said, making the brother part come out like a drop of poison.
This time:
"Your what?" Nicole said almost falling over.
"You heard me right. He's my brother." Kalonni said staring down at the ground.
In the blink of an eye they were gone. There was so much chaos that everyone left. Well, not everybody. Lori, Morgan, Logan, and Megumi stayed with me. We went inside and just flopped onto the furniture. We changed back into our normal clothes and there was silence for the longest time.
"What just happened?" Said Morgan, throwing her red hair over her shoulder.
"I'm not sure." I said blankly.
"He was sort of big for a mamodo." Said Lori.
"I know. Normally the mamodos are small like Zatch, Rakachi, Kolulu, Kalonni, and Tia." Megumi replied.
"TIA!" Kalonni smiled standing up. She went over to hug Tia, but Tia pushed her onto the ground.
"B-but…I thought we were best friends." Kalonni said in a shaky voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You are NOT my friend! I can't trust you," Tia said clenching her fist as she whispered, "I can't trust anybody anymore."
"But what about Maruse and I? We are your best friends remember?" Kalonni said, still on the ground.
"Maruse is NOT my friend and neither are you! If you don't want to get hurt by my power, then move!" Tia said shoving Kalonni aside and walking out the door.
"I am SO sorry, Kalonni. I need to go, call me ok?" Megumi said walking out after Tia. A few moments of silence passed before Kalonni whispered, "But we're supposed to be friends." This whisper turned to a shout.
"WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIEEEEEEEEEEENDS!" Kalonni screamed as she clutched her sides and curled into a ball. Tears started streaming down her face as she clenched her teeth. Nicole came over and pulled Kalonni into her arms.
"It's ok. We'll find out what's going on. I promise." Nicole said, as she had to hold back her tears. Lori also got down on her knees and hugged Kalonni as well.
"Huh?" Nicole said looking up.
"She…she reminds me so much of Kolulu." Lori said holding back the tears as the memories came back.
Meanwhile… Megumi and Tia are walking on the sidewalk.
"Tia, why did you do that?" Megumi said shaking her head.
"She is not my friend!" Tia said clenching her fist into little balls.
"She seemed nice. She ran to you with a smile and hugged you. Why did you push her away?" Megumi says.
"She seems nice. That does not mean she is!" Tia said as she hung her head low.
"Oh, Tia…" Megumi said as she looked up at the sky.
"She will be…just like Maruse." Tia said as the scar on her neck becomes visible.
"Tia, Maruse is defeated now. He may have turned wicked and corrupt, but that doesn't mean she is."
"I can't take that chance." Tia said. Megumi just sighed and continued on. But she stopped when Tia stopped a few feet behind her.
"Maruse, Kalonni, and I were best friends back in the mamodo world." Tia said. She smiled as she remembered the next part.
"We would always play in the meadows. Maruse would say it was too hot and he'd go in the springs. Kalonni and I would pick flowers and make headbands. We'd pretend we were princesses and Maruse would pretend to be our servent. We would even go out on the tops of the mountains and watch the sunsets. We'd sleep out in the meadows and watch the stars. We also would have pretend battles and show our power. One of our favorite things to do was stick up for Zatch. We felt so bad. Maruse didn't like it and he sat out and watched. Kalonni and I would tell them to stop and show them our powers. That's when I first started loving Zatch." Tia said as her smile faded.
"That's also when Maruse and I grew farther apart. But we were still friends and there was no reason for him to betray us like that! I remember the day when we were getting ready to leave for this stupid battle. I hugged Zatch goodbye. Maruse was so upset. I could see he was happy though. Kalonni and I promised…we'd never fight each other. Hehe, I even remember what Brago said." Tia said.
She smiled and acted tough, "If anyone messes with my sister Kalonni, they'll have to answer to me!" Tia said. Megumi and Tia laughed at this until Tia looked down and said, "Everything's different now."
"Nothing has to be different between you and Kalonni. You two are friends and you need to apologize." Megumi said.
"M-maybe you're right…" Tia said.
"Tia?" Megumi said sounding scared. Tia was in tears. She was in tears, but she was smiling.
"I…I think I do need to apologize to her. Thanks Megumi." Tia said as they headed back for Nicole's house.
Meanwhile….At Nicole's house.
Kalonni was sobbing her eyes out as she told everybody the same story. The door opened and Megumi and Tia walked in. Megumi was smiling as she walked into the kitchen. She motioned for the others to follow. It was just Kalonni and Tia in the room now.
"I...I'm sorry, Kalonni." Tia said as she looked at the ground.
"I…It's ok!" Said Kalonni as she ran and hugged Tia. Tia hugged her back and they both cried together. Everyone was watching from the kitchen and they all smiled.
"Friends forever?" Kalonni said as she pulled a headband of flowers out from under the table.
"Friends forever!" Tia said as she pulled one off of the table as well. They put it on each other's heads and hugged again.
WHAT A HEART WARMING CHAPTER! I need a tissue! (gets a tissue from a random person) I love happy endings! I am currently working out the kinks for the final chapters. They go something like this. The last 6 people with mamodos are Kyo and Zatch, Megumi and Tia, Logan and Rakachi, Nicole and Kalonni, Sherrie and Brago, and Iedo and Hyde. What do guys think about that? Put it in your reviews ok? REVIEW OR I'LL SEND MY SPAGETTI STRINGS TO GET YOU! LMAO!
