Chapter 16: It All Works Out In The End
Magenta and Fu Dog stood up and stretched their bodies. It felt so good to be able to move again! Magenta smiled. So far, everything was working out! Well...almost everything...Magenta had decided to tell Fu Dog that he'd been under a love spell. It was the only way to find out if he really and truely loved her. She had told rainbow about it earlier, and she'd told her to go for it.
Rainbow flew up to Magenta's ear and whispered.
"C'mon! Now's the time to tell Fu Dog!"
Magenta sighed.
"I know, but I'm afraid-"
"Lemme guess." Rainbow interrupted. "You're afraid that once you tell Fu Dog the truth, he might not love you anymore?"
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.." Magenta replied.
"Don't be afraid. Just do it and take what you get." Rainbow said, giving Magenta a little push.
Magenta tried to look confident as she walked over to Fu.
"Um, Fu Dog? Listen, there's something I need to tell you. You've been- AAAAHHHH!"
Magenta was interrupted when a green energy blast barely missed her head. She turned her head to see the Huntsmaster and Huntsgirl firing energy blasts from heir staffs at her, Rainbow, and Fu Dog!
Magenta quickly got down on all fours.
"Quick! Climb on!" she told her friends.
They climbed on and Magenta took flight just in time to miss another energy blast that was fired at her.
"Ha! Is that the best you've GOT?" Magenta teased, as she did a loop de loop to avoid three more blasts.
Rainbow and Fuu Dog spat at the Huntsclan from Magenta's back.
"Na na na na na na!" they sang, "You can't catch us!"
This enraged Huntsmaster, and he shot at them furiously. Magenta laughed. She turned her head and spat at him, not paying attention to where she was going.
"'Genta, look out!" Fu Dog suddenly cried.
"Huh!"
Magenta saw it, but she couldn't make herself stop, and she and her friends smacked right into the wall in front of them! She slid down onto the ground. The Huntsclan formed a tight circle around her, Fu Dog and Rainbow. They had their staffs with them. Magenta and her friends gasped. They were trapped!
FLASH
Jake and Grandpa were sneaking around in the Huntslair when they saw the huntsclan had formed a tight circle around someone. Jake flew up into the air a bit, just enough to see that they had Magenta, Fu Dog and Rainbow trapped! he flew back down and whispered to Grandpa.
"Gramps! It's Fu, Magenta and Rainbow! The Huntsclan has them trapped!"
"We must save them, then!" Grandpa replied, and whispered something in Jake's ear and he nodded.
FLASH
"Any last words?" Huntsmaster asked Magenta, preparing to shoot her, Fu and Rainbow with his staff.
"What's this?" A voice suddenly asked. "You've started the party and didn't even invite us?"
Huntsmaster and Huntsgirl already knew who it was, without even turning around.
"Dragons.." they muttered under their breath.
"That's correct, Hunts-punk!" the voice replied.
Magenta wanted to get up and dance around with joy! Jake and Grandpa had come to rescue them!
She smiled and stood up, her strength renewed. Fu Dog and Rainbow climbed back on her back, and they resumed flight.
Jake whacked Huntsgirl and Grandpa tripped her with his tail. She tripped and went flying into the Huntsmaster, knocking him onto his back. Jake and Grandpa grabbed the chains that's been used on Magenta earlier, and tied the Huntsmaster and Huntsgirl back to back, tightly.
"Quick!" Grandpa shouted to Magenta, Jake, Rainbow and Fu Dog. "Let's get out of here! Those chains will not hold them for long!"
"Heard that!" Jake replied as they all flew out of the Huntslair.
FLASH
"I am glad that everybody is back safe and sound." Grandpa said back at the shop.
"Me too.." Magenta replied, smiling up at Fu Dog, who returned her smile.
"But, Grandpa continued, I am afraid that Jake and I must stay with the Phoenix's for at least one more week, to be sure that the Huntsclan does not try to capture them again. Is that Okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Magenta and Fu Dog chorused.
Then Magenta remembered something she needed to go do. She excused herself and ran out of the room. She changed into her human form, and then she picked up the phone. Earlier, when she'd been talking to Courtny, she'd given Magenta her phone number. Magenta dialed the number and waited as the phone started to ring. One ring. Two. Three. Then someone picked up.
"Hello?"
The voice belonged to Courtny.
"Hey, it's Heather." Magenta said.
"I'm sorry. Who?" Courtny asked, sounding very confused.
"Uh...wrong number!" Magenta answered, and quickly hung up.
She was confused. What had happened?
"I wonder what happened?" She wondered out loud. "Courtny knew who I was yesterday. Oh well..."
She changed back into her dog form and turned to leave the room, when she noticed Fu Dog standing in a corner. He was shuffling his feet, and every now and then, he would dart a nervous glance at Magenta then look back down at his feet.
Magenta walked over to him.
"Fuzie, what'd you do?" She asked, having a feeling that he knew why Courtny didn't know who she was.
"Well, um..." Fu Dog began, "After we had our fight, I looked for a way I could apologize. Then I remembered what had happened with Courtny earlier that day. I looked up her adress, and then I made a mind erasing potion. I, uh then went to her house and saw a drink on a window ledge. I assumed it was hers, so I poured the potion in it. Now she doesn't remember ever meeting you..."
Magenta smiled gratefully.
"Wow, you did all that for me?"
Fu blushed.
"Yeah. You were pretty mad, and I knew it was all my fault...so I wanted to make things better.."
"Fu, that may be the sweetest thing any guy has ever said to me.." Magenta said softly.
Then she remembered her promise to tell him the truth. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat.
"Hey, listen You know Rainbow?"
"The tiny green dragon who saved us? Yeah, why?" Fu replied.
"Well.she can grant wishes, and since I did her a favor, she granted me one."
"Cool." Fu Dog said.
Magenta hesitated.
"I-I don't know how to say this but...my wish was that you'd like me the way I like you."
Fu frowned.
"So, I'm under a love spell right now?" he asked, looking slightly angry.
Magenta shook her head.
"No! It wore off this morning! I know you probably don't like me that way anymore -she sighed- but can we at least be friends?"
Fu Dog's angry look was replaced by a relieved looking one.
"Well, that's good. For a minute there, I thought that was the only reason I love you."
Magenta gasped.
"What?"
Fu smiled warmly at her.
"'Genta, we're more than friends. Remember? I asked you to be my girlfriend. Though, at the time, I wondered what I had seen in you. At least I know I wasn't under a spell, I was really having those feelings for you. While I am a little angry that you'd wish for that to happen, I realize that if you hadn't, I probably never would've been interested in getting to know you better. And...I'm glad you did!" He blushed. "...I love you, Magenta."
Magenta smiled happily. She still couldn't believe that this was really happening! She licked Fu Dog on the nose.
"Oh, Fu Dog..." she crooned.
They leaned in closer and closer.
All of a sudden, Jake popped up in between them! A very startled Fu Dog and Magenta fell over.
"Yo!" Jake said, "Gramps and I are gonna take off now, Okay?"
Magenta and Fu nodded, still shocked.
Jake turned to go, but then remembered something and turned to face Magenta.
"Oh yeah! Your friend Rainbow went home. She said she -he got a confused frown- hopes that everything works out. I-is everything Okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine." Fu Dog replied, smiling down at Magenta lovingly.
"Ok, then. We're gonna go!" Jake replied. He ran out of the room, and up to the roof.
"Hey! Let's go and say 'goodbye'!" Magenta said to Fu.
They got up to the roof just in time to see Jake and Grandpa change into their dragon forms. They waved, and took flight.
"Bye!" Magenta called. "Good luck defending the Phoenix's from the Huntsclan! Bye!"
The sun started to set, and she and Fu Dog waved until the two dragons were out of sight. It got dark and windy.
Fu put his arm around Magenta.
"C'mon. Let's go inside, where it's warm." he said.
"Okay." Magenta replied, letting Fu Dog lead her into the shop, where she knew they'd be alone together for another week.
