This is a chapter where Faerie Bell knows who the mystery girl is but Amelia doesn't so I will be referring to her as "the mystery girl"(since this is Amelia's POV) in this chapter.

Chapter 5: ""The First Element"
"Amelia! You're not supposed to be up!" My mother cried. "The doctor doesn't know what you have, dear. Sit down, please!" She frantically pulled a chair out and in a hurried manner, lay a big bowl of chicken soup on the table.
I finally sat down. I decided to accept the treatment even though I was better.
The doorbell interrupted my pleasant thoughts. After fussing with my mother about standing up, I graciously walked to the door.
It was Brittany.
"Oh, Bri! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at school!"
She smiled, "The same could be said for you, considering you're better and all."
"How'd you know that?" I asked, surprised.
"I have my sources. After all, it's not every day a disease like that goes away in less than an hour."
I could've bet my face was white. Did she know?
"Brittany!" I heard my mother call from the kitchen, "Why aren't you in school?!"
"I just wanted to check on my best friend, Mrs. Nemota." She said in a sweet voice. Brittany turned to me, "Mel, I need to look in your room for a belonging of mine." She disappeared upstairs.
I just hoped she wouldn't see Faerie Bell. Then I'd have alot of explaining to do.
-scene change-
Brittany didn't even knock. She walked in and whispered, "Faerie Bell."
"Amelia?" Faerie Bell asked as she appeared in the corner. "Oh, hi, Brittany."
"Mel doesn't know I'm talking to you. Did she drink all of it?"
Faerie Bell pointed to the empty bottle on the table, "Every drop."
"Good. Well, I better go back downstairs. See you at the next battle."
-scene change-
Brittany emerged empty handed, "It must be at my house. Well, I got to go. Maybe I'll see you at school!" And she left.
"Maybe? We're in the same class!"
-later that day-
I ran to the battlefield as fast as I could. The mystery girl might need my help.
"Faerie Bell! Let's go! Neoscan... Drackonack Energize!"
We arrived just in time to see the Yellow Usul being thrown to the side by a ferocious Fire Kougra.
"Horn Blaster!"
"Good job, Faerie Bell!" I yelled.
"Tail Spin!"
The mystery girl scanned another card, "...Wooden Blocking Shield Energize!"
"Faerie Bell, let's get down to business! Neoscan... Ice Scimitar Energize!"
"Hoof Crusher!"
Faerie Bell jumped out of the way of the enemy's attack, but not in time.
"Faerie Bell!" I tried to warn her.
"Fury Paw!" The Kougra attacked. The mystery girl tried to help but she couldn't scan a card in time. Unfortunately, I didn't have any helpful cards. I had rushed out of the house. "Faerie Bell, you've got to dodge!"
Then something strange happened. My Neoscanner glowed a pale blue color. Faerie Bell was glowing also. "What's going on here?" I asked as I held my Neoscanner. A beam of light shot from it and hit Faerie Bell.
"Faerie Bell... element change to..."
Light blue wings appeared on her back and her hooves became smoother.
"...Water!"
I looked at my Neopet. She was different. Changed.
My Neoscanner was back to normal again.
The Yellow Usul looked shocked. The mystery girl looked amazed. I... I didn't know how to look.
Faerie Bell flew out of the Kougra's attack range, "Water Rockets!"
The attack pulverised the Kougra and it vanished.
Faerie Bell changed back to normal. As I ran over to hug her, I dropped my Neoscanner. "You alright, Faerie Bell?"
I never noticed the pale blue card that appeared beside my Neoscanner...
There you go. Another chapter done. How'd you like it? And never fear! Amelia will find out it's her best friend who's been decieving her in the next chapter!
