Part... um, something...
There was a break. It worried me. Just a few seconds ago there was the sound of metal against metal. Rena had been going through some serious training on Iaso's comand, and was only allowed to use her gun. We'd work with Alchemy later he explained.
So, we took turns fighting her. I had gone first, to my dismay. Rena was fine using her gun to attack, she's scarier when she's blocking. She can use her gun, and push your weapon towards yourself, so your pretty much defenseless.
After me went Marigold, who had to use Alchemy, like me. The thing that surprised me was that she used clap Alchemy. When I had asked her about it, she had explained that you had to think of yourself as the alchemy sign. And to top that one off, she showed me that earlier she had painted them on her palms.
Lucky was for last and best, according to Iaso (which, by the way, this was his idea, why isn't he praticipating?), and she was. The battle had lasted for ten minutes before we all sat down to watch.
After another five minutes, I watched the colorful butterflies that were found in Xing. Marigold began explaining all of them, the Tigis with a wingspan of exactly five centimeters, the Wikile, which was found only in August.
Then everything stopped. Lucky hovered above Rena, who was lying on the ground. Then Rena tackled Lucky. It was kind of funny, seeing the two roll around against the ground, there bodies trying to get the best of each other. Rena ended up winning.
"I see someone's feeling better." Iaso said, messing with the pigtails in Rena's hair. She brushed him off.
"Yeah. I guess I am."
"MY DRESS!" Lucky said, looking down at her dress. It had sand covering the whole front of it.
"kind of reminds you of a teddy bear doesn't it?" Marigold inputed, looking distatefully at Lucky.
"Ok, don't even start with that!"
"Yeah, like I loved having my hair cut to my chin!"
"You ruined my teddy bear!"
"By accident! I didn't do it on purpose! You brought it on yourself when cut my hair!"
"Can we stay off the teddy bear? Good. Let's not forget, you also demolished my tea set, cut my favorite kimono into ribbons, stole my shoes, and put toothpaste in a piece of my cake once."
"Ok, I didn't do the toothpaste thing. I found toothpaste in my cake, too."
"Yeah, let's just minus that from the thousand other things you did!"
"Your not exactly clear either! Itching powder in my bed sheets, kicked my off the side of a dock into five feet water, and rammed me into an expensive vase!"
Back and forth. It was soooo wierd. I mean, there the same age, share tons of intrests, and have the same colored hair, why aren't they friends? And why do they hate each other?
"Anyways-"
"What the heck is going on?" I asked, jabbing my thumb in the direction of Marigold and Lucky, who had decided on wrestling it out.
"Ok, When Lucky and Marigold were little they used to be very good friends. Then one day when they were having a tea party Marigold accidently spilled some on Lucky's favorite teddy bear, and Lucky went nuts, I don't see the point though, the teddy bear made it."
"Uh-huh. What about the other stuff?"
"Lucky is overreacted, and Marigold just retaliates." Iaso explained.
"Well, that's nice." I said blankly. Said two girls joined us a second later, hair a mess, clothes ripped at the end and arms, Luckys necklase missing.
"Lucky! Were's your necklace?" Rena asked abruptly.
"Huh? Ah..." Lucky dropped to her knees and crawled. I shrugged and bent down too. I knew the chain she always wore was gold, but I had no idea what it was adorned with.
Pretty soon we were all on our knees, searching for it, Marigold was digging in a certain area. Rena was combing an area by the flowers with Iaso helping her, and Lucky was searching where her and Marigold had been fighting.
"Found it!" Marigold held up a chain with a key attatched. She handed it to Lucky, who hugged her immediatly.
"I'm sorry for cutting your hair."
"Yeah, I'm sorry for spilling tea on your teddy bear, when it wasn't really me."
"Then..."
Marigold shrugged.
"Maybe your cursed..."
"Highly doubt that."
"And-"
"Ok, this is probably the stupidest conversation you two have ever had." Iaso exclaimed, slamming his head into a wall.
Marigold smiled. "Keep hitting your head and you won't live to see your sister's birthday tommorrow!"
"It's your birhthday tommorrow?" Iaso asked, turning his head to look at Lucky. You could almost see the discomfort in his voice. It was wierd.
"YES! Did you forget again?" She placed her head in her hand. "Your not that smart of a brother as I used to think you were."
"You used to think that when you were five, your turning nine tommorrow."
We decided to go back inside, since we were done with Rena's practice. We passed a small door, above a bookcase. It had cobwes clinging to it, apparently no one had touched it in several centuries.
"Hey, doesn't that open?" Rena stopped us, pointing out the door above the bookcase. She tiltied her head to the side. "I could've sworn that it opened..."
"It does, I have the key, but it doesn't reach far enough to turn the lock."
"Yeah, besides, me and Lucky have to think about our birthday tomorrow!" Marigold said, arms around Lucky's shoulder.
There was a pause.
"Ok, I'll try to unlock it." Lucky said. She jumped and grabbed th edge of the bookcase, and lifted herself up. I wondered how it didn't tip over. Then again, she probably didn't weigh more than fifty pounds.
She took the chain off her neck and inserted it into the keyhole. She twisted but it didn't open. "See?" she leaped off the side.
"Maybe if you put something in there before that, so that it can reach," Rena suggested, sliding a ring off her finger.
"If you say so," She jumped and landed swiftly, reachin for the ring. She popped it into the keyhole and inserted the key. The door opened.
"Ok, why does it work for Rena?" Lucky said angerily, sticking her head into the door. "I HATE YOU DOOR!"
