Love Flowing On The Waves

Rachel and Crystal arrived in Skylands to find that the magical feeling of Valentine's Day was in the air. The mabu homes were all decorated with pink, red, and white streamers and hearts and were giving gifts to their loved ones or significant others. Crystal saw a chef go by with a large cake and he struggled a bit to keep it steady, to which she went over and helped him steady it, making him sigh in relief before he looked to see it was her. "Ah, thank you, Life Portal Master," he said as she helped him get it onto a cart.

"That's a big cake," she said.

He nodded. "It's for the Valentine's Day buffet and dance tonight at Skylanders Academy," he said, smiling. "It's going to be quite a party at Skylanders Academy."

Rachel smiled, recalling that Fiesta had told her about that. An arm came around her waist and she turned to find her husband-to-be, Magna Charge, beside her and he smiled. "Hello, my lovely proton," he said before pulling her into a dancing dip and kissing her. She giggled as she kissed him back. Crystal covered her eyes with a giggle before giggling again as fingers tickled her sides and she turned to find Spellslamzer and Mesmerelda behind her.

"Looks like the spirit of Valentine's Day is capturing everyone," the tall Spell Punk said with a chuckle.

"Yeah," the little girl said with a giggle.

Mesmerelda smiled. "What about you, Crystal? Any secret admirers we should know about?" The spider asked teasingly.

The Life Portal Master shook her head with a giggle. "Elda, I'm not old enough to have a boyfriend," she said. "Besides, a lot of boys have cooties." She shuddered at that part.

Rachel burst into laughter, followed by Magna Charge as Spellslamzer chuckled and Mesmerelda was trying not to laugh too. "I hope you don't mean our friends, sweetie," Rachel said to her sister.

"Nah, they don't have cooties," she said. "The boys in school do. Ugh. Like those boys that pulled that mean prank on me with the fruit."

The older girl recalled that and remembered that was the reason the little girl had been afraid to ask Camo to be her dragon partner. Now the two were best friends. "Well, Crystal is a bit young to have an admirer, but that doesn't stop her from participating," Magna Charge said. "I hear someone is going to be helping set up the 'Lovers Lane' at the flower gardens for Valentine's Day."

Crystal nodded eagerly, squeaking when two hands wrapped around her waist and picked her up. "I hope I'll be able to squeeze in with my bride-to-be," came a familiar voice and the little girl giggled as she was turned around to face Thumpback.

"Thumpback!" She said with a giggle.

"I'm sure you'll be able to, Thumpback," Rachel said with a smile before glancing around and not seeing Kairi. "Hey, where's Kairi?"

"She should be coming any moment now," the giant whale said. "She said she had to work today."

Just then, Rachel's phone rang and she answered it, her face expression changing when she heard the voice and the words on the other end. "I'll be right there, Kairi," she said before taking to the sky and flying to the Academy like a bullet.

"What happened?" Mesmerelda asked.

"If that was Kairi on the phone and Rachel's expression is anything to go by, then the Water Portal Master needs help," Spellslamzer said as they headed for the Academy, arriving at Master Eon's office just in time to see Rachel dive into the Portal. The guardian of Skylands looked at them.

"I'm afraid Kairi was targeted today by a mean girl at her workplace," he said. "Rachel has gone to get her."

Thumpback looked concerned and they gathered closer to watch the viewing crystal to see Rachel land lightly on her feet in an empty aisle of the store that Kairi worked at and began walking towards the front where they could see the Water Portal Master looking ready to burst into tears while another girl looked at her with a snobbish expression.

Rachel came up to them and glared at the girl bully. "Back off," she said warningly, wrapping a protective arm around Kairi, holding her in a side hug.

"Hey! Mind your own business!" The other girl snapped.

The Tech/Fire Portal Master narrowed her eyes and her hand glowed a light blue before a sharp gust of wind suddenly blasted against the bully, causing her to cry out as her hair suddenly whipped upwards and she frantically tried to straighten out her hair. She was suddenly drenched as what felt like a wave of water hit her and she sputtered, trying to wipe her drenched hair out of her face. She looked at Rachel, who smirked before holding up her free hand and a fireball formed in her palm. "Oh, I'm sorry, but you bullying one of my best friends is my business," she said, secretly manipulating the cameras so that they didn't see her use her powers and a ring of fire surrounded the girl, flash-drying her from the downpour. When the fire dissipated, the girl looked like she had just rolled out of bed with her hair all frizzy and poofy, a bit of soot on her clothes, and her makeup ruined. She screamed in shock, looking at the tall blonde, who narrowed her eyes again. "You come near Kairi again, and you'll not only have to contend with me, but also her very protective husband-to-be, and trust me, he is not one you want angry at you."

With that, she looked at Kairi. "Go get your stuff and clock out, hon," she said softly. "Your shift's done, right?"

The Water Portal Master nodded and quickly got her things, clocking out and following her out the door. The bully glared at them before a gust of wind hit her and messed up her already-messy hair worse. Kairi chuckled. "I think she got the point," she said in a low whisper.

"That last gust wasn't me," Rachel whispered back and Kairi then realized it was windy out. Giggling, she and Rachel walked to the alleyway and when all was clear, they saw a Portal appear and they jumped onto it, vanishing into thin air with the Portal disappearing too.


Thumpback braced himself as the Portal in front of them glowed and Kairi suddenly jumped out of the bright light, to which the whale held out his arms and caught her, holding her close as she gasped and took a moment to get her bearings back. Rachel leapt out moments later and felt a magnetic charge catch her, to which she smiled and looked at the one responsible for it as she was lowered into his arms.

It was quiet for a bit until Kairi looked to see she was in her man's arms. "Thumpback!" She said happily, hugging him.

He hugged her back. "Don't listen to what that mean girl says," he said. "She's just jealous of you."

She looked at him. "You guys saw what happened?" She asked.

"Yes, and by the way, Rachel," he said, turning to the Tech/Fire Portal Master. "Good job on that wave."

"Thank you," she said. "I had some good teachers from the Water Element."

Kairi looked at her guy and chuckled. "I was wondering where she had learned that trick," she said.

Thumpback grinned. "Come on, my lovely mermaid," he said. "It's Valentine's Day and I know exactly how I want to spend it with you."

She giggled before she thought of something. "Wait! The cameras at work," she said in realization. "Rach, the managers will see you using your powers!"

The Tech/Fire Portal Master smiled and shook her head gently. "Don't worry, Kairi, I took care of it," she said. "One of the best things about having Tech for one of my elements, I can manipulate cameras so that no one sees what really happened."

Kairi sighed in relief before Spellslamzer came in with Crystal on his shoulders and the little girl was grinning hugely. "Thumpback, you and Kairi are needed in the Sensei Water Realm," she said, handing him something. He looked at it and realized it was a card and opened it before smiling and nodding.

"Thank you, little one," he said.

"What is it?" Kairi asked as she didn't see what was written on the card.

"Let's go see," the whale said to her before heading out of the Academy, still carrying her. Rachel smiled and looked at her little sister.

"What were you and Spellslamzer up to?" She asked.

Crystal giggled. "Spells helped me set up a private hut at the beach in the Water Realm," she said.

"Ah, the new resort," Magna Charge said.

"Yup!" The little girl said with a giggle. "With dinner and roses and everything."

"I think my little sister is turning into quite the matchmaker," Rachel said with a smile.

Spellslamzer chuckled. "I wonder who's been teaching her?" He said in amusement, giving the Tech/Fire Portal Master a knowing look.

"Moi?" The older girl asked playfully. "Now whatever gave you that idea?"

Crystal giggled again before seeing Spitfire come up to them and she gently tapped Spellslamzer's arm. Smiling, he gently set her down. "Hi, Spitfire!" She said happily.

"Hey, kiddo," he said before looking at Rachel. "Hey, Rach. I promised Crystal I'd take her racing today. There's a new trophy they just announced."

Rachel nodded with a smile. "That's fine with me," she said before looking at Crystal. "Stick close to Spitfire, mija."

"I will," the little girl promised as the Fire Supercharger picked her up and they headed for the racetrack. Mesmerelda came up behind Spellslamzer and hugged him, giving him loving eyes.

"Come on, Handsome," she said sweetly. "Your lady is waiting for you."

He smiled. "Far be it from me to keep my lady waiting any longer," he said, scooping her up and carrying her away.

Rachel felt Magna Charge scoop her up and she smiled as he carried her away to whatever he had planned for Valentine's Day.


In the Water Realm...

Kairi gasped as Thumpback brought her to the new beach resort she had heard so much about. "Oh, I've been wanting to go here," she admitted.

"Well, we have a two-night stay here," the whale said with a smile. "Crystal and Spellslamzer set it up per my request after we saw what happened."

She smiled. "I have the best friends in the world and the best boyfriend/husband-to-be ever," she said, kissing him. He kissed her back and carried her over to the lavish bathroom that was just off the bedroom. It had a deep jacuzzi and the water was bubbling from the jets of water inside. Thumpback carefully stepped into the water, which was pleasantly cool as the day was hot and Kairi felt her legs transform into a mermaid tail, to which she giggled and began swimming around, sensing her man's eyes on her as she swam before she came to a stop in his lap again, snuggling into his chest as he held her.

"My lovely mermaid," he said to her.

"My handsome whale," she said before gasping as he handed her a red rose and indicated to a cart nearby that had her favorite dinner and dessert along with a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a cute plush of a sea turtle, and a red heart necklace.

"Umi helped me pick out the sea turtle for you," he said.

Kairi smiled. "Aww," she said. "By the way, where is she?"

"She's with her uncle Snapshot," Thumpback said. "He promised to watch over her while we enjoyed a vacation. I gave her her Valentine's Day gifts this morning and she was very excited. She loved the plush kitten you got her."

The Water Portal Master smiled. "I'll make sure to give her a great big hug when we get back," she said.

He chuckled. "But for now," he said. "I'm going to give you the biggest kiss you've ever received that your head will spin."

She giggled at his playfulness. "And I'll return it with a kiss that'll make your heart skip a beat," she said playfully.

Chuckling again, Thumpback pulled Kairi into a kiss that indeed made her head spin while his heart skipped a beat, their love flowing on the waves as they got lost into each other's arms.


Happy Valentine's Day! :)
