Left off:
All three girls cheered and gave a group hug. They all agreed to meet at Lotus's house all next week for preparation. Their summer was going to be interesting just like they said it would be.
Ch. 4: The Osiris
It was Sunday, a cool breezy day. The sun was out and so were the birds. Chirping can be heard in the tree next to her room window. You can hear youngins walk past talking about the world's most obscure things. From running over a water bottle with a skateboard to throwing baseballs in dumpsters and well- like I said the world's most obscure things.
Lotus, Maxus, Ilani, and Kia were all gathered in Lotus and Maxus's living room. The teens were all so curious about this Bliss Islands business. WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? And above all WHY?
Who will they meet?
What will they see?
When will they be back to talk about their discovery?
Where are these islands?
Why haven't they seen or heard about these islands before?
The most they could do is prepare. Prepare for the worst, the best, the unbelievable, the unexpected! Ah! Yes! The unexpected! What to expect? Oh well, you can never put a bet on that. These Bliss Islands are never to be taken for granted; never expect anything! Just be!
"So guys, I really want to thank you all so much for accompanying me on this expedition," said Lotus as she placed The Shukumei in front-and-center amongst them.
"Your welcome," cracked Kia.
"No sweat, you're our friend! We're always going to be there for you," Ilani said almost secretively.
"I'll do anything for my little sis, even if it means going to a place that we haven't even heard of!" Maxus said with humor. They all chuckle.
"Well, first things first, we need new outfits and- YES! MAXUS! I KNOW! GUYS DON'T WEAR OUTFITS!" Lotus said going to the back of the book.
"DOES THIS INVOLVE THE NEED TO GO SHOPPING?!!!!" Kia said with clutched fists, twitching eyes and a very scary smile.
Lotus saw Ilani behind Kia with a tranquilizer that looked like it was headed towards Kia.
"Ilani!" Lotus shouted as Ilani looked startled. Maxus was staring at Lotus. Kia had the "rabies-infested" look.
"What? Someone was bound to do it!" Ilani defended.
"It's not nice to sting people with tranquilizers just because they look like they have rabies when you say the word 'shop'!" Lotus preached.
"What? This 'ol thing. It wasn't for Kia; it was just in case some wild animal attacks us or somethin'" explained Ilani.
"Well, in that case, it's fine. Wait! Where'd you get that tranquilizer?" asked Lotus.
"My sources remain anonymous!" answered Ilani defiantly.
Lotus shrugged and said, "That's fair." She then took the Shukumei and opened it to an empty page. When the page was out in the open, letters started to appear. The page was titled THE OSIRIS. A puff of smoke came out with a neon green glow. When the smoke was gone a little crystal ball appeared. Inside it was a little fairy. The crystal ball split in fourths and the fairy came fluttering out. She was so tiny! Maxus's glowing eyes just followed the fairy. Ilani just stared at the fairy making sure she didn't try to turn her into a frog or something. Kia calmed down and was hypnotized by the glowing surrounding of the fairy.
"Oooooooo preeeeeetty coloooooooors!" Kia said reaching a hand out to the fairy.
Lotus forced Kia's arm down and whispered, "Kia, that is not a toy!" Maxus smirked.
The fairy was just floating around without saying a word for about half an hour. She just let the teens stare at her and all her tiny-self glory.
Ilani got up, frustrated with this silent drivel, and said, "This is pointless! I'm makin' pancakes, anybody want some?"
The three other teens just ignored Ilani and stared at the fairy as if their brains were drained.
Ilani stomped back into the room and yelled, "DON'T YOU BLOCKHEADS REALIZE THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE BY STARING AT THIS FAIRY!"
All was silent.
"I'M MAKING PANCAKES!" Ilani roared as she made her way towards the door. The door slammed in Ilani's face. "OKAY! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS BALLYHOO!"
The fairy finally spoke up and said, "Ballyhoo? What ballyhoo? There's no ballyhoo here!"
Ilani looked shocked as well as the others as they haven't heard the fairy speak ever since she got there. Ilani sat down with the rest of the group as quiet as she could be. All eyes were on the fairy.
Lotus broke the ice and asked, "What is your name? My name is Lotus."
"Well, I'm glad you asked!" the fairy started. "My name is Kichi, the good fortune fairy."
That's when it hit Lotus, "KICHI? You're the one who-"
Without letting her finish, Kichi said, "Yup, I wrote it! That was me!"
Lotus's face was glowing with joy, " I'm honored to finally meet you!"
Kichi looked flattered and went up to Lotus's ear and whispered, "Who are your friends, here with you?
Lotus whispered back loud enough for all of them to hear what she was saying. "This is my brother, Maxus, and my two best friends, Kia and the other one…er…Ilani."
"Hello, Maxus, Kia, and Ilani," greeted the fairy.
Maxus just nodded his head. Kia said hi back to the fairy as if she were staring at a huge meteor. Ilani just gave a whish of her hand and smiled indifferently.
"So…um…Kichi, we were instructed to talk to you, but for what?" Lotus asked.
"Oh, nothing big, just for your adventure suits" Kichi explained.
"Okay, then, Kichi, WORK YOUR MAGIC!" Lotus said joyfully.
"Alrighty, then! Hmmm…let's see…" Kichi said observing each of their personalities.
She looked at Maxus and said, "You look like quite the protective type. You seem very caring of your sister and her friends, and your suit needs to fit that personality. On the count of, you're the only guy accompanying these three lovely ladies. You need an impact-proof, tough-guy sort of suit, but also one that makes you look good, since you are somewhat conscience on your looks."
Maxus just looked at Kichi in awe. He felt like she knew him more than he knew himself. Then, Kia broke the silence and screeched, "ME NEXT! ME NEXT! OOO OOO! ME NEXT!"
Kichi looked at Kia and said, "Yes, yes, you are quite the bubbly-type. You are very flamboyant and vibrant. You are a very in-fashion, chic, and stylish type of girl. You need an outfit that will keep up with your free spirit and vivid attitude, but also one that will be "fashionably acceptable" to you."
Kia was just stricken with silence. They all looked at Kia waiting for one of her blood-curdling retorts. She realized everyone was starring at her and said, "What? Is there a zit on my face?" She ran to the bathroom as the rest of them laughed to themselves.
"Will she be okay?" worried Kichi.
"She'll be fine. She's just a drama queen," answered Ilani.
"Oh, Ilani, I almost forgot! Do you want me to-"started Kichi.
"Yeah, I guess," Ilani said.
Kichi looked at Kia with a very studious face. "Hmmm…Ilani, you are, well, you are, what us fairies call "The Crabs"."
"A CRAB! YOU CALLIN' ME A CRAB!?" Ilani said defensively.
"No, not in a rude way. To us crabs are people who have a hard shell but a soft inside. You see, on the outside, your shell; you are very tough, strong, defensive, and unafraid of what you face at the moment. Now, your inside, which, in this case, your heart, is light. Deep down inside you care, you love, you understand. Your outside is the total opposite of your inside." Kichi explained.
"Okay, what does this have to do with my uniform? May I ask?" Ilani said with impatience.
Kichi paused and said, "Your outfit needs to reveal more of your inner person, but it also has to allow you to be your bold and courageous self. You are a risk-taker. This outfit has to allow you to work in all types of climate and conditions, since nothing, not even a bit of rain, will stop you. This outfit also needs to reveal more of the true you, instead of hiding you under all of the colors and cloth."
Ilani, for once, looked like she cared.
"Ilani, are you okay?" asked Lotus. Kia was walking in.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Ilani responded trying to avoid Kia from talking.
Lotus cleared her throat and said something quietly to Kichi trying not to arouse attention, "Um…Kichi? What about-"
Kichi got the message, "OH, YES! Almost forgot! Lotus, let's see, hmmm….very sophisticated. I see a great leader in you. You are very classy, but you like to have fun all the same. Everyone enjoys being around you. You are like the heart of this pack. You are great to turn to for advice. Am I right, guys?"
Maxus nodded his head.
Ilani gave a "she-is-right" expression.
Kia said, "There was never a zit on my face!"
They all rolled their eyes and smiled.
Kichi got back to the point, "Anyhow, you need an outfit that says: HEY! I'M THE LEADER AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO BE ME! You get what I'm saying, Lotus?"
"Totally!" Lotus said with a smile.
"Okeedokes! Time to see your outfits!" Kichi said with the wave of her wand. Dust poofed out. It was a silver-whitish color as it went up in the air. Then, it turned pink-orange as it came down. Then, finally, it turned blue-green as it landed on the teens' clothes. In the blink of an eye, they were all wearing their adventure suits. They were amazed by how it fit their personality, style, and interests.
Maxus looked at his suit and then said to Kichi, "Wow, Kichi, how'd you-"
"Oh, just believe!" Kichi responded.
Ilani was just speechless, "Kichi, I…I…don't really know what to say! Thank you so much! I'm sorry about earlier…I-"
"Ehh, it's okay! I understand," reassured Kichi.
"O! M! G! Thanks so much, Kichi! I love this!" Kia said. (Or should I say yelled?)
"Doesn't anyone say Oh My Gosh anymore? This world is going to be run by IMers and TextMessagers!" Kichi said to herself.
Lotus started saying, "Kichi, I want to thank-"
"No, sweat! TTLY on me…is that what you young people say now?" Kichi said trying to be "cool".
"Good try!" Lotus said laughing.
"Yeah, I tried…hehe" Kichi said quite embarrassed. "Listen, I have an appointment later today. I really gotta get goin'."
"Okay," Lotus started, "So where do we go from here?"
While Lotus was talking, Kichi opened the crystal ball to go inside. It looked like a portal hole, almost.
Kichi turned around just to find out that everyone was waiting for her answer.
