You know, I lied. I don't think it's gonna be 2 chapters long. I think it's gonna be 3 chapters...I'm not sure. I'll have to see...I'll think about that. Anyways, here's chapter two. Enjoy!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Will's doorbell rang. Will got up and opened it, to see Caleb. "Hi, Caleb...", Hay Lin said with a big grin on her face. "Hi", Caleb replied, sitting down on the floor. "How was it?", Irma said slowly. She and Hay Lin were leaning closer to make him nerous. "How was what?", Caleb replied. "...Nothing...Cornelia must've been blind when she turned around both ways, and not see Hay Lin's pig tails flying everywhere because she saw a beetle", Irma said sitting normally on the couch again. "You guyswere spying onus!", Caleb asked with a glare. "We told you, since you're not gonna tell us what you're gonna give her, we're just gonna have to spy on you ALL DAY", Will giggled. "All four of you went!", Caleb asked pointing at the four grinning girls. "Mabye...", Taranee laughed.
"So I'm guessing you guys didn't finish planning, did you?", Caleb said with a mad face and his arms crossed. "Yeah we did...Ahem-", Will picked up the list, "-The party is going to be at Irma's house. We're going to invite most of the school...and you", Will said, pointing the pencil at Caleb. "Most of the school? Who's not going?", Caleb asked, with a normal face now. "Uriah and his gang", Will said. "Oh, those guys I promised Cornelia I wouldn't hurt them (See episode "Happy Birthday, Will")", Caeb asked. "Yup, that's right", Taranee said getting one of the last cookies on the plate.
"Anyway...um...the theme is going to be Black and White, which means everyone has to wear black and white, it's very formal", Will explained. "Why Black and White?", Caleb asked getting a chip. "Because, Cornelia is usually the formal type, so we decided to make it formal...but not the music", Hay Lin said. "Yeah, the music is so not formal. The Coral Blue is going to be there", Irma said. "With Matt", Hay Lin added pointing at Will. "Ok, ok. Um, Hay Lin is in charge of food. Irma is in charge of music. And you, me, and Taranee are going to put up the props", Will finished.
"So you guys are already done planning?", Caleb asked. "Yup", they all said in unison. "So...how did you have time to spy?", Caleb asked getting up. "We always have time to spy around", Irma laughed. "Ok, well, now that you're done with this, I'm going to Meridean to see if the everything is ok", Caleb said heading for the door. "Are you sure you're not going, oh I don't know, to Cornelia's house?", Hay Lin giggled. "Please, you think I would go there after I know you've been spying. I'm going to Meridean, but I'll be back tomorrow", Caleb said opening the door. "Wait! What about Cornelia's gift?", Taranee said quickly. "That's why I'm coming tomorrow. You guys can tell me what Cornelia would like, and I'll go get it, ok?", he said. The girls nodded with grins on their faces. "I mean it. Don't mess with me", Caleb joked. "We won't, we promise we'll make it perfect for Cornelia ok? Ok, bye now! Say hi to the Rebels for me!", Irma said pushing him out and closing the door.
"So, now that Caleb's gone...you wanna make sure he didn't go to Cornelia's house...and THEN go to Cornelia's house?", Irma said, still leaning on the door. "Yeah!", the girls said. They all went out the door and quietly went down the stairs. They looked left and right and saw Caleb walking right. "Let's go", Will whispered. They went through the bushes and trees. "Isn't this the way to Cornelia's house?", Hay Lin giggled. "I knew he was lying", Irma grinned.
Caleb reached Cornelia's apartment but didn't go to the front door, he went to the side. He passed throught the big kitchen window, where Cornelia was mixing the batter. Cornelia saw Caleb and waved at him. Caleb waved back with a sweet smile. Cornelia opened the window. "Where are you going?", Cornelia asked. "Portal", he said pointing at the portal at the very end of the apartment.
"Oh so he wasn't lying", Irma whispered. "No, wait. There was a portal near my house", Will said with the map and the crystal already out. "Wait a second, isn't THAT the portal he went through?", Taranee asked. "He just chose this one to visit Corny!", Irma whispered with a grin. "Ha! I knew it", Irma said in victory.
"Portal? Why?", Cornelia asked. "Well, your party is already planned, so I decided to go to Meridean to see how everything is going. I'll be back by tomorrow", Caleb reassured her. "Oh, ok...are you gonna tell me what the party is?", Cornelia said putting the mix to her side to lean on the counter more. "No, I'm not gonna tell you", Caleb smiled. "Fine, don't tell me", Cornelia said. They both laughed. "Cornelia! Are you done with the batter yet?", they heard Cornelia's mom ask from a distance. "Almost mom!", Cornelia yelled back. Then they heard footsteps coming closer. "I have to go Caleb, tell the rebels I said hi", Cornelia said closing the window and waving one last time. Caleb waved back and ran into the portal.
"Ok, girls, let's go in", Will whispered as they ran quietly to the front door to Cornelia's apartment. They rang the doorbell. Lilian opened the door. "Hi, is Cornelia here?", Will smiled and lied. "Yes...she's cooking right now", Lilian said emotionless. "Uuuhhh, can we come in?", Irma asked awkwardly. "Of couse you can girls, come in come in", they saw Mrs. Hale go into the kitchen and waving at them. Lilian stepped aside and they went in.
"Hi, Cornelia!", Hay Lin waved. "Uh, hi?", Cornelia waved with a fake smile. "You can go and talk with your friends honey, I'll take care of this, and you can do the frosting, how's that?", Mrs. Hale asked. "Thanks mom", Cornelia responded, taking off the apron and throwing it neatly at the counter. "Come on girls", she said going upstairs. The girls followed her upstairs into her room.
"So, what are you guys doing here?", Cornelia asked sitting down on her bed. "We just came by to visit, since you couldn't hang out with us. Hey...have you seen Caleb?", Irma grinned. "Uh, yeah, he just passed a minute ago outside my kitchen window into a portal", Cornelia said confusingly. "Oh, we were just wondering...", Hay Lin said. "Ok...", Cornelia said.
"Hey Cornelia, you know, you won't be able to hang out with us tomorrow...or Caleb", Taranee said. "Why not?", Cornelia asked. "Because we're gonna have to buy everything we need for the party, set it up (which will take a prettylong time), make about 40 invitations, and pass them out", Will said taking out the list. "Then...why not Caleb?", Cornelia asked. "Because he's coming with us. He has to help us set up the party. And before he left Will's house, he said he was coming tomorrow with us to the mall to show him what kind of gift you would like", Hay Lin grinned. "He's getting me a present?", Cornelia asked, with joy and happiness in her eyes and face. "That's right! We're not gonna tell you though", Taranee said. "Ok, ok", Cornelia said.
"Cornelia! Mom says to tell your friends that you're making frosting right now", Lilian yelled opening the door. "Hey! Haven't you ever heard of knocking?", Cornelia yelled. "Heard of it, don't wanna use it", Lilian said, putting her hands on her tiny hips. "Ugh, fine, Lilian, just go. Sorry guys", Cornelia said getting up. "Hey, it's ok, we have to go anyway", Will said. They all went downstairs and went in front of the front door. Cornelia opened it and stepped aside to let the girls out. "I'll see you tomorrow...later, ok?", Cornelia said waving. The girls waved back and left to their own houses.
At the end of the day (like at 9 p.m.) Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin decided to sleepover at Hay Lin's house, she wanted to celebrate Cornelia's birthday with a sleepover of her own for Cornelia.
The Next Day...
It was 10 a.m., the girls were already awake and dressed. They had breakfast and Cornelia went her seperate way. Since the party was going to tomorrow, her family wanted to have lunch with her and a little party of their own for Cornelia. Cornelia waved waved at them sweetly and left to her house.
"Ok, girls, we have to split up to see what portal Caleb is going to be out of", Will said as she took out the map and the Heart of Candracar hovered on top.Two x's were shown. "Ok, Hay Lin and Irma, take the one where Caleb went through when he left. Taranee and I will take the one near the smoothie place", Will explained pointing to the X's. "If Caleb comes out through either of them, we'll call each other and go straight to the mall, got it?", Will explained. They all nodded and ran to the portals.
Irma and Hay Lin quietly sneaked past the big kitchen window and leaned against the wall next to the portal. Will and Taranee found that the portal was actually on the roof of the smoothie place. So they climbed and climbed until they reached the portal and sat down. After about 20 minutes, Caleb came out through Irma and Hay Lin's portal. "Good morning, how was Meridean?", Hay Lin asked, as Irma dialed Will's number to tell her that Caleb had come through the portal."Uh, good, everything seems calm and peacful", Caleb replied, looking through the kitchen window, to see Cornelia in a pretty white, skinny(as in, not like those poofy ones),shoulderless, dress. She was greeting an old man, who should be her grandfather.
"Will, Caleb came through our portal...Yeah ok, bye", Irma hung up the phone and the three of them walked to the mall. When they got there, they saw Will and Taranee sitting on a bench. "How did you guys get here so quick?", Hay Lin asked. "The mall is only 2 blocks away from the mall", Will said. "Ok, so here's the plan. Hay Lin and Irma, you take Caleb around the mall and go buy Cornelia a present. Might as well buy your present", Will said standing up. "Actually, I don't need to find her a present anymore", Caleb said. "You don't?", Irma asked in confusion. "Nope, I already got her a present", Caleb dug into his, long jacket pocket and then held his closed hand up.
The girls looked anxiously into the hand. He opened his hand, it was a little, red box. "What's in it?", Hay Lin asked jumping up and down. Caleb opened the little box and the girls gasped. It was a braclet, not just any braclet. It was a crystal braclet. The light above made the smooth-looking green braclet sparkle. He got it out of the box, "It's made of Meridean crystal. Many people use this kind of crystal to make jewlery. Once you put it on, it take in the shape of your wrist, finger, or anything. It lasts forever, it can't break", Caleb explained. The girls looked at it in awe. Their eyes sparkled with the braclet.
"This kind of crystal also-", Caleb lifted up his right wrist, which had one exactly like it, but in a beautiful navy blue,"-is an expression of one's love for another". The girls gasped and smiledwide. "So this means that-", Irma whispered. "I'm gonna tell her, you guys", Caleb finished her sentence and smiled proudly. The girls screamed and hugged Caleb. "I'm soooo proud of you!", Hay Lin yelled. "Guys! Save this for later! We're in public!", Caleb said under all of the girls' screamings. The girls looked at some of the people they caught the attention of and then stopped. The people continued moving.
"Fine, but you're in for a screaming when we get to Irma's house", Irma whispered. "Ok, so Caleb, you can go with Irma and Hay Lin as they buy their presents for Cornelia, and Taranee and I will go buy the props. Then we'll switch. You guys buy the invitations and music, and we'll buy Corny's present", Will instructed. "Got it!", Hay Lin said. They all seperated and went shopping.
