Catlin POV

The sun that came trough the window woke me up, in my arms Mayu still looked like she was asleep... I looked around my room, it wasn't that much of a room, my bed was against the yellow wall in the right corner, on the left, also against the wall, was my desk full with all the Piffle Princess bags, the closet with the mirror hanging was on the other side of the room next to the door, my bathroom door was open and I could see, from the bed, that I still had the bathtub filled with yesterdays water, my orange sofa was, also, against the wall between the door and the bathroom. Yeah not much of a room. I need to get up, big day in front of us…

I got up and started to get ready, I had to go and talk to Gina. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair and started to think in what I should use today... I finally decided for a mini, not that mini, black skirt and a long sleeved pink shirt. It was late we needed to be going.

Picking Mayu carefully I went downstairs, in the kitchen was an old woman, with brownish hair, she was cooking and mumbling an old baby song.

"Good morning Gina!" I said, "There is someone I would like you to meet."

Holding Mayu up with both hands, I saw Gina turning and looking a little strange at the sight of me holding Mayu, oh so I thought…

"Catlin, you know you're my little girl, now and forever, but you're already 16 don't you think you're a little old to be playing with dolls?" Gina asked looking, now, confused.

"Oh Gina! This isn't a doll it's an Angel, me and Mayu" I said pointing to the dolls has I sat in a chair on the kitchen table – "we are going to start fighting Angelic Layer!"

"Angelic Layer?" Gina still didn't looked convinced, but then pulling a smile she asked "Oh, I see that's one of those little cute dolls that also fight, right?"

"Yeah it's one of those, but you know I think Mayu is starting to be something more already!" I said, the last part almost to myself…"Gina I need to ask you two favors, ok?" While I was mentally praying for an in-good-mood Gina, she turned quickly to the oven.

"Well Miss Scott…" said Gina turning around, again, to me with a big smile on her face "Here are the pancakes, so now, what was the second favor you were going to ask me?"

"I have a sketch I did last night…" - I said flashing also a smile "And I was thinking if you would like to do Mayu's clothes, I already have the fabrics, based on the sketch you could…" While talking I still was praying for that in-good-mood-thing but Gina just started talking.

"Hum, and where's that sketch, bring everything to here, bring the fabrics also and, while you eat, I will see what I can do!"

"Oh, Gina thanks you're the best!" I said running up stairs ready to pick up everything I needed the fastest I could.

"Don't run we've time!" – I heard Gina shout before I arrived at my room, so I took my time, this time of course lasted like five minutes, but at least I had tried right?

When I got to the kitchen my plate was, once more, filled with pancakes and in the kitchen table was now Gina's sewing box.

"Let me see…" She said taking the sketch of my hands while setting in front of the sewing box. "It's good work Catlin, really good work" she said to a very-content-Catllin a little later.

I sat in front of her and while she started sewing I happily ate, my pancakes filled with honey. Moments later she asked for Mayu, she needed her to the measurements.

After a while, I had nothing to do so Gina said I should go to my room and do some homework or something, she would call me when it was finished.

I went to my room just as Gina had said me to do, but I didn't do any homework. Instead I switched my computer on a started looking online for more information about Angelic Layer, now that I finally had an Angel I needed to enter in some kind of contest I really wanted my Angel Card. I entered a site that described all the prizes I could get if I had enough points on my Angel Card. Everything was amazing, having my own Angel was just simply fantastic but I shouldn't forget why I was doing that…

"Promise me, please! Just do it for me…"

"Yes, I promise, I will do it for you, but please don't…"

I will do it, I promised, don't worry Henry, for you I will…

"Catlin, come down, it's done!" Gina scream got me away of my memories and thoughts…

When I arrived to the kitchen, Mayu was now setting on top the sewing box.

"I added a little thing, I think you'll like it!" – Gina said.

I looked carefully at Mayu, she was just how I had imagined her! Her pink hair cut just a little after the shoulders was shining against the black kimono, that had now four pink flowers, three on the right corner and the other one on the sleeve, but this one was bigger more detailed, it just fitted the outfit. The black leggings were in another kind of black fabric less vibrant and more elastic, they kind of were glued to Mayu's legs making it a two-piece outfit and the shoes were just amazing. Mayu seemed like a true fighter, the black kimono, with only the left big and baggy sleeve, and the leggings, everything was… Oh just perfect!

"Thank you so much, Gina! She's just perfect! I have to go and call Ann and Thomas! They'll love it."

"Thomas? Isn't he, wasn't he I mean Hen…"

"Yeah he was, but he is also my friend Gina." I cut her off I knew, quite well who Thomas was, he was simply my friend. Nothing more.

I walked out of the kitchen and right to the hall, where the phone was. First I needed to talk to Ann she was just so h«going to love Mayu!

"Hello?" – Ann voice came on the phone.

"Hey Ann, what're you doing? I kind of wanted to ask you to come around, I have something to show you…"

"Looking mysterious Cat..." Ann voice was filled with curiosity "You know it's a long walk till there don't you want to tell me what's all this about? You know how I'm when I'm curious, pleaseee."

"No Ann, no deal, c'moonn, move your ass and come visit your friend!" I said half laughing at her curiosity.

"Ok, you know I hate when you do his to me, now I'll have to run. Bad, bad friend" I heard her mumble before she hung up the phone.

Now it's time to call Thomas… I looked around for my notebook so that I could find Thomas number.

I hadn't see Thomas for 2 years, but three weeks ago he just appeared in front of my school gate and we kind of bumped into each other, he had given me his number and this last three weeks we had been talking by phone and also online, he was a great guy, kind of mysterious, and really, really cute.

"Hello?" Suddenly I was, once again, pulled out of my thoughts, Thomas had picked up the phone and it seemed like he had been talking alone for a couple of minutes by now.

"Huh? Hello Thomas it's me Catlin look I finally got the Angel I was thinking if you hadn't time today to go and train with me?"

"Ah, let's see, yeah I guess, after four o'clock I've nothing to do…"

"Ok then can we meet at Piffle Princess at 4:15 pm?" I asked unsure.

"Yeah sure, see you then Cat". – Cat, he called me Cat... Thomas voice on the phone was magical, just somewhat, well, boyish. That voice just led me to those beautiful dark-green eyes and that chocolate hair, and…

Oh hell, Ann is coming! I have to get everything ready because she was probably going to stay for lunch. Looking back at the kitchen I saw Gina already preparing lunch, maybe pizza would be great for lunch, yum, so I put on one of my bests smiles and entered the kitchen… It's going to be a great afternoon!

"Ohh, Ginaa…"
