Clubhouse Mews: Chapter 3

Kitai walked in the glittering snow as it fell. The ground felt cold, but her boots kept her warm. Off in the distance she saw two pink and blue figures. "Kouyou! Kokoro!" she yelled after them. The figures then came towards her.

"We've got some bad news," Kouyou said as she came to Kitai.

"What is it?" Kitai asked, sounding a bit worried.

"'Ol Chang is sick, so his store isn't open," Kokoro stated sadly.

"Oh," Kitai replied softly. She thought for a moment. Where could they go for fun? Maybe… oh yeah! "Think we could go to the lake then?"

"I guess," Kouyou replied.

"We can go to the clubhouse afterwards and have some hot cocoa," Kokoro replied.

"Great!" Kitai said. "I guess that we need to go to the clubhouse first though."

"Then let's go," Kouyou said.

They came to a small wooden cabin that had the words "Clubhouse Mews" on a brown piece of wood, and was painted on with yellow at the top. "Here we are," Kouyou said.

Kitai rushed to the blue door and swung it open. Inside, it was colored with splashes of yellow and blue with pink as the main color. There was a small white table with three brown, pink, and blue chairs near a window in the far left. A small chimney was at the main back and three yellow, pink, and blue stocking were hung there. A small three person couch was on the right, and a brown box was on the edge of it.

"It's amazing how we made it seems so big inside," Kouyou said.

"And so small outside," Kokoro added.

"Least our things are still in here," Kitai stated as she opened the box and pulled out three pairs of skates.

"You gonna fall again Kouyou?" Kokoro joked.

"Hopefully not," Kouyou replied.

Snow is falling,

And friends are calling.

We're gonna go on a snow ride!

Time is jolly and joyful,

It's time to be happy and heartful.

I may never want to go back inside!

Time to go sleddin'

Though we're just beginin'

We're gonna have so much fun!

The white powder on the ground,

Is everywhere to be found!

The best thing is that we're not done!

Now we get to snowboard!

While hot cocoa is being poured.

After that we get to ice-skate!

We may be almost through.

But there is one thing we'll tell you!

Hurry up and don't be late!

Now it's time to go inside.

It seems that we've finished the ride.

Now we have to go, so you need to finish up you're fun!

We will wave good-bye to you,

That's the last thing we need to do.

And with that, we are done!

Kokoro, Kitai, and Kouyou went sledding, snowboarding, and ice-skating. At sunset, they came into the clubhouse, and drank some hot cocoa that they had gotten from Ichigo. The three of them sat down on the couch and relaxed

"That was terrific," Kokoro said with a yawn.

"Just wait until tomorrow," Kitai added.

"Then we get to go freeze again," Kouyou joked and they all laughed. Suddenly, a small song played, and the fire began with a spark in the fireplace. "What was that?" Kouyou asked as she sat straight up.

"I don't know," Kitai replied when they were all sitting up.

A light began in front of them from a small speck, and came into being Queen Kinaki. "Hello," she said.

"Umm… hello?" Kouyou asked.

"You three have grown so much since you were little," Kinaki said. "Now you are ready."

"Ready?" Kitai asked. "Ready for what?"

"Your powers," she said. "You will be given special powers that you have inherited."

"Inherited?" Kitai asked.

"Yes," Kinaki said. "It is now time." She stretched her hands out towards them and began to mumble something.

The three were wrapped in a swirling white bliss, and blanked out…

There it is! -
