Hey everybody!
Time for a new chapter of Cardcaptor Wendy! Sorry I'm late, school is very time consuming. Thanks for all your reviews, I enjoy it when people like a story. Now its time for Happy to meet Chelia!
Wendy's Wonderful Friend Part 2
"Wendy?"
Wendy shifted in her covers slightly. Her eyes were closed as she continued to snooze.
Happy, however, was persistent.
"Wendy wake up!" He yelled louder.
"Five more minutes please." Wendy mumbled hitting Happy on the nose.
Happy took a deep breath as he patted his nose. "Who's the person who promised she'd get up at 7:00 like a normal teenager?" He said.
That woke Wendy up. Weakly, she opened her eyes and scanned the room.
Who's making that annoying sound? She looked towards the T.V. The television isn't on, so what made that noise? Wait a minute! She turned slightly and saw Happy's smiling face.
"Aah! A talking plush flying cat!" She screamed. Startled, she sat up and fell right off the bed.
Happy yelped and flew to her side."Do the words Cardcaptor Wendy ring a bell to you?" He said, eagerly.
"Oh yeah, you're the guardian of the Fiore cards!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Bingo! Give the girl a prize!" Happy sighed.
Oh yeah that's right! Happy came out of the book of Fiore last night. He gave me a silver key that turns into a staff to catch card monsters. I caught the Fly card last night.
"It's a beautiful morning, Cardcaptor Wendy!" Happy said, watching Wendy put on her uniform.
"I've been saying I just can't be a Cardcaptor!" Wendy kept saying.
But Happy ignored her and brought out the book. He grabbed the Fly card and took it out. "Don't be so humble! You're helping me out by doing this simple task. You'll do fine!"
Wendy ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. She sat down at the table, scarfing down her breakfast.
"Woah slow down dragon! We don't want you blowing fire everywhere." Natsu teased.
Wendy glared at him as Igneel walked into the kitchen. "So how's breakfast this morning?" He asked, taking a bit of Wendy's eggs. "Hmm…delicious! You made an excellent breakfast Natsu."
"Well, it's better than the dragon's," Natsu observed cheerfully, and then bit his lip to refrain from yelping out as Wendy brought her foot down atop his. Perplexed, Igneel looked at his son's pained expression, and Wendy hurried to distract him.
"Um…I'm going to finish my breakfast upstairs." Wendy said, taking her plate with her.
"School starts in five." Igneel called after her.
"I brought you some toast and eggs." Wendy said, putting the plate in front of Happy."Well, I'm gonna go now." She grabbed her schoolbag from the coat rack in the closet.
"Where you going?" Happy asked, watching her put on her hat.
"School. If I'm going to be a Cardcaptor, at least let me get an education first. Besides my dad and Natsu go to school too."
"Your dad goes to school?"
"He's a college professor at Magnolia University. He teaches history. Got to go, bye!" Wendy said, waving at him before leaving.
"Kids nowadays are so busy," he lectured through a mouthful of food. He smiled and gobbled down all the food. "Thanks for the food!" Happy called.
It was a completely empty classroom that Wendy walked into that morning, and she bounced happily to her desk. It was extremely rare that she was first to arrive, and it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet. She was about to open her bag when the door slid open again and Chelia walked through.
"Wow you're here early today, Wendy!" Chelia commented pulling out her camcorder.
"Hey Chelia is that your new camcorder?" Wendy asked looking at it.
"Yeah and I was able to film something extremely amusing last night." Chelia flicked a switch and pressed a button, and the tiny screen lit up with an image of the crescent moon.
Wendy felt a tremor go through her when she recognized two tiny figures flying across the screen. Uh-oh.
"Is this some new movie or something?" Wendy stammered.
Chelia just smiled and enlarged the picture. "Look familiar?" She giggled.
Wendy's face paled as she saw herself, in pajamas, flying on her wings. The flying thing next to her was Happy. She was so surprised that she shrieked and fell out of her chair.
"WENDY ARE YOU OKAY? WHERE'S THE CARD? CAPTURE IT QUICK!" Happy burst out of her bag, punching the air. Both Wendy and Chelia gave him shocked expressions and nobody spoke for a moment.
Getting over her shock, Chelia checked here screen again, then looked back at Happy.
"Well this is a strange coincidence." She finally said.
At lunch, Wendy and Chelia found a remote location behind the school and ate there. Happy came out of Wendy's bag and ate lunch with them.
"Aye sir! This was the best lunch ever!" Happy said.
But Wendy wanted to know something. "Why did you come to school today with me?"
"Well I was bored and frankly, I wanted to see what you do on a daily bases." Wendy shook her head. What would convince him that she didn't want to be a Cardcaptor? For crying out loud, she was just a kid!
"So your name's Happy right?" Chelia asked, fascinated by the flying talking creature.
"Yeah and your Chelia, Wendy's best friend, she's told me so much about you." Happy said, sarcastically.
Wendy frowned and hit Happy over the head. Stupid cat!
"So you're the guardian of the Fiore cards? What are those exactly?" Chelia asked.
As Happy explained the Fiore cards to Chelia, some kids were playing soccer. While they were playing a sinister force was taking their shadows. He crept behind a tree and took his regular form. That was a close one. There are so many shadows here in the daytime. But I can't help feeling that the new Cardcaptor is here right now.
"And so, Wendy became a Cardcaptor." Happy concluded. Chelia's eyes sparkled as he finished his summary. Wendy groaned and fell on the ground.
"That's wonderful!" Chelia enthused, paying no attention to the fallen Wendy. "The Cardcaptor that protects the city from the disasters of the Fiore Cards. That is so awesome!"
"I can't do something that important!"
"No, you can do it, Wendy-chan! If you don't mind, can you show me how you use your magic?"
"Yeah Wendy show her a bit of magic!" Happy egged.
Wendy sighed and brought out the silver key from her pocket. "O Key of Fiore, which hides the powers of Light. I need your power to set things right. Show me the true power. RELEASE!"
Just as it had the night before, it lengthened into a short staff, and Chelia clapped her hands with delight.
"You are able to use magic with this staff?" She inquired, gazing at the staff.
"Yeah, although I need a Card." Wendy said.
"Like this?" Happy suggested, holding up the Fly Card. Wendy bit back another groan.
"When did you -" Wendy started before seeing the sneaky smile on Happy's face. I'll deal with you later. She thought eyeing Happy.
"So, do you have a trademark pose yet?" Chelia asked.
"A what?" Wendy and Happy said in unison.
"Trademark poses and spells are the basic parts of being of a magical girl!" Chelia lectured enthusiastically, and Wendy whimpered. It seemed her friend was enjoying this more than anyone involved.
School ended, and students scattered in the courtyard to go home. The sun was low in the sky, their shadows stretching long across the ground below them. Thus no one even noticed when the shadows did not follow their owner's home that evening, but chose instead to slide across the grounds and retreat back into the school where a suspicious looking character stayed behind. "Yes I'm so close to retrieving my lost powers. Soon I'll be at full Shadow Dragon power again." Rouge said, quietly as he absorbed all the shadows.
The next morning Wendy skated into the courtyard after making Happy promise not to follow her to school. She said hi to passing classmates before stopping abruptly. She saw her fellow classmates in a crowd.
"Um…what's going on?" She asked someone.
"Oh hey Wendy, did you see the mystery message on the side of building?" The person replied.
Wendy shook her head but then looked up. Something was written on the side of the school building. She gasped as she read what was written.
THE SHADOW CARD WILL RISE TONIGHT
"The Shadow card?" Chelia asked coming beside Wendy. She shot Wendy a look of concern. Wendy nodded and gulped.
This is definitely the work of a Fiore card.
