Chapter 10
Sorceress Myst: Welcome back to Who's the Better Matchmaker!
Apprentice Jed: (looks around) Where's Fagtron?
Sorceress Myst: Don't worry she'll crash through something sooner or later. Oh btw, this is my new apprentice, Jed.
Apprentice Jed: I made my first appearance in A New Years Fic and survived Fagtron's membership test.
Sorceress Myst: What membership test?
Apprentice Jed: That one she gave me after the fireworks incident. (Fagtron crashes through the wall)
Fagtron: Eirl the girl is gonna have a baby! Joy the boy is very happy!
Apprentice Jed: How do socks reproduce?
Sorceress Myst: Jed, It's best not to question Fagtron's retardedness.
Fagtron: SORCERESS MYST! APPRENTICE JED SAID A BAD WORD!!!
Apprentice Jed: Did not!
Sorceress Myst: Fagtron, reproduce means a way of getting a baby.
Fagtron: Oh. Can I say the disclaimer?
Sorceress Myst: I guess.
Fagtron: (clears throat) CCS is not owned by APPRENTICE JED and Xylona doesn't belong to APPRENTICE JED and I'm still cute and cuddly.
Apprentice Jed: I think the disclaimer is more along the lines of 'I do not own CCS or any of its characters except for the characters you wouldn't normally see in CCS.'
Sorceress Myst: Good job. Now on with the story.
Fagtron: What! She didn't mentioned the characters' names.
Apprentice Jed: What, you expect me to remember all that? Besides, mine made sense.
Fagtron: No, mine was better!
Sorceress Myst: I SAID 'ON WITH THE STORY'!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bell rings at the Palmer Middle School, warning the kids that they have 30 minutes of freedom left. Mysty and her sister, Onica, walked to their lockers after witnessing another catfight in the girls' restrooms.
"So Onica, I was thinking we could pester the little kids and scare them about the helah monster." Mysty started as she watched her sister put on make-up, "How could you wear that crap?" Onica flicked her hair and said, "With ease, and the kids stopped believing that myth since Dawn put on a lot of eye liner and acted like a vampire. Besides, I'm meeting Eiryn soon."
"Oh gag!" Mysty acted like she was choking.
"Come on Mysty! You need to get a boyfriend."
"Find me an evolved life form and I'll think about it. I only go out with someone out of love not if he's cool."
"I don't go out with Eiryn because he's cool, I really love him." Onica argued.
"Yeah, …I know. You're lucky." They began to walk down the hallway. Soon A pair of arms wrapped themselves around Mysty's waist. She frowned and said in a monotone voice, "I'm sorry, you have reached the wrong twin. Please step back and try again."
"Sorry Mysty, I just wanted you to experience what is like having a boyfriend." Eiryn joked before he walked over to Onica and kissed her.
"We need to talk… alone." Eiryn said to Onica with a sad tone.
"Right, well I'm gonna see Dawn now. Sayonara!" Mysty shouted as she ran off.
"No Japanese!" was the only reply Mysty heard after she turned the corner. Dawn was already selling tickets for the band fundraiser when Mysty found her.
"Hi Onica." Dawn greeted cheerfully.
"Why do you do that? Onica has blonde hair. I have mouse brown hair. There is a difference!" Mysty corrected her blonde friend.
"Just kidding. Anyway did you hear the rumors about your sister?" asked Dawn.
"If it's about Eiryn screwing Onica in one of the band hall's practice rooms, it's a lie because on that day we had a family history lesson at home."
"No, I mean the one about Eiryn dumping Onica for you."
"For me?!? Why?"
"Jamey and Chelsea says that he likes you better."
"That would never happen! I dislike his rotting guts and Onica would be heart broken."
"Well it's just a rumor. Don't take it seriously." Assured Dawn as the bell rang, "Bye! See ya in band!"
Mysty's first period was a computer class called Auto CAD. Fortunately the teacher was gone so she had a chance to chat with her friends from Japan.
"Let's see it should be at least early evening over there." She muttered to herself as she logged on.
Lady of the Dragons: Hello Card Sorceress and Camera Girl how was your day?
Card Sorceress: It was great! How was yours?
Lady of the Dragons: Mine's just starting. So have you captured any new cards?
Card Sorceress: Nope, Syaoran caught one.
Camera Girl: Do you think you can sense Card Sorceress blushing when she wrote Syaoran's name? I can.
Card Sorceress: I am not!!!!
Lady of the Dragons: Oh yes, definitely. Sakura likes Syaoran. Sakura likes Syaoran!
Card Sorceress: Stop it!
(BigBrother enters the chat room)
BigBrother: Sakura, get off the computer. It's time for dinner.
Card Sorceress: Okay coming! Bye guys!
(Card Sorceress and BigBrother leave the chat room)
Camera Girl: I think Syaoran likes Sakura too.
Lady of the Dragons: You know what would be entertaining?
Camera Girl: What?
Lady of the Dragons: If say a foreign exchange student from England moves over there and makes Syaoran jealous. Ooh, I can see it now! Soon you will fall madly in love with this new student and have dreams of him kissing you!
Camera Girl: Yeah right. Like that's going to happen.
Lady of the Dragons: Maybe you should expect the unexpected. Oh crap! The bell rang. I gotta go to band. C ya!
Camera Girl: Bye!
Mysty quickly logged off and rushed to her next class. For once she took her time getting to the band hall so she wouldn't be out of breath. It's very difficult to play an instrument when you're breathless …unless you're a drummer of course. Suddenly someone stopped her from her destination. Mysty glared at the rusty haired boy, "What do you want?". Eiryn gave a sugary smile and said, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to band. Just like my sister, whom I should be getting to now. Shouldn't you be with your football team? Good Bye!" Mysty side stepped around him and walked into the band hall.
About 5 minutes after the tardy bell rang, Mysty already had her alto saxophone out and was searching for her solo.
"Where's my 'Honor and Arms' music sheet? Oh yeah! I left it in the practice room." When she reached the practice room, she heard someone crying.
"Onica! What happened?" Mysty cried out as she hugged her sister.
"Eiryn dumped me …he said he likes you better (hic) because you're a sorceress." Onica sobbed
"How did he know? I thought we were going to keep this a secret from everyone. We promised father."
"I… I told him. I didn't mean to. It slipped out."
"Maybe we shouldn't go to the game tonight. And we should ask father what to do."
"He said act like nothing happened. He is the reason why you didn't know about this sooner."
"Which means we still have to attend the game." Mysty sighed.
"If only I was a sorceress. Then Eiryn would still like me."
"Onica believe me, being a sorceress is no fun." Mysty answered the door to find a water boy from the football team was about to knock on the door.
"Oh! Umm …Eiryn said he wanted to talk to you at half time tonight." The boy muttered nervously. Mysty looked reluctant to go, but Onica nodded at her. She swallowed and said, "Tell him I'll see him there." The water boy smiled, saluted, ran into the doorframe, and then finally left. Dawn walked in front of the doorway shortly after the water boy left and asked, "Why are water boys afraid of the band members? They're such wusses!"
******************************************************
Time flew by quickly after the band played songs like 'Let's Go Band', 'Gimmie Some Lovin'', and 'You Give Love a Bad Name'. Before Mysty knew it, it was already a minute before half time.
"Alright, head down to the field. We got a show to do." Ordered the band director. Slowly the band marched on to the field and waited for the other band to finish. She wished they would play forever. But since when did wishes come true for her? Soon it was their turn, Mysty marched to her spot and began to play 'Ghost Riders in the Sky'. Then Onica, Holly, Dawn, and Mysty marched to the front of the field to play the saxophone soli on 'They Called the Wind Mariah'. During the soli, she could she Eiryn staring at her. She was so afraid that she almost forgot to join the rest of the band to finish the song. Finally the band finished with 'The Magnificent Seven' and marched off the field. Mysty was pulled out of the line before she could reach the bleachers.
"We need to talk now." Eiryn stated firmly.
"What? You already made my sister upset. What makes you think I'm gonna even spare you a glance now?" She snapped.
"I need to tell you the truth, …I've loved you for some time now and I want you to be my girlfriend."
"How long ago?"
"Two weeks."
"That was when you found out I was a sorceress. So you only love me because of my powers!?!?" Mysty found a new strength coming to her when she saw Eiryn's shocked face.
"You know about that? I mean, NO! I-It's not because of that."
"I don't care! I wouldn't be your girlfriend even if you were the last guy on earth!"
"You are going to regret those words." Eiryn sneered.
"Eiryn! Get yer arse back here! We got a game to win!" the coach yelled.
"You better watch your back, cause your gonna be mine whether you like it or not!" Eiryn called over his shoulder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorceress Myst: The reason why Mysty is calmer than Xylona is because Mysty has no use for her powers yet. Which means she doesn't overdose on caffeine to keep her energy up.
Apprentice Jed: It's quiet …too quiet. Fagtron must be up to something. (Fagtron and her pyromaniacs tribe burst into the studio with torches)
Sorceress Myst: Uh-oh, this isn't good.
Fagtron: Here is the new member! (Points at Jed) We must light her on fire and have her join our fiery circle! Attack! (Apprentice Jed pulls out a fire extinguisher and puts out all the fires)
Tribe member: Ahhhh! She have power to kill fire. RUN AWAY!!! (the pyromaniacs tribe leaves)
Fagtron: You killed fire!
Apprentice Jed: (pulls out a candle) Here stare at this flame.
Fagtron: Ooooo
Sorceress Myst: Jed go get the silver cage!
Apprentice Jed: Yes ma'am!
Fagtron: WHAT!?!
Sorceress Myst: You disobeyed me by trying to set the apprentice on fire. You earned one day of time out in a silver cage …without a chew toy.
Fagtron: NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I WANT MY MOMMY!!!! SERVO!!!
Sorceress Myst: For the last time, he is not your mom!
Apprentice Jed: C ya next chapter and don't forget to read 'A New Years Fic'!
