A Star's Duty

Previous:

A shiver ran down her spine when she felt a warm breath against her ear that said "Are you all right?"

"Um... yeah sure... I'm okay... thanks for asking".

He gave a little smile but his eyes were still in worry. Soon this face of worry was replaced by a face of shock. The cabin began to shake and the lights turned off. Youka looked out of the window and saw that they weren't moving anymore. They were stuck on the mount Everest.


Chapter2. "You want us to jump? O.o"

Everyone panicked. Katia began to cry and Flora kept saying something about being locked up again. The only ones who didn't seem to panic were Youka and the Professor.

"Calm down everyone! We aren't going to make any progress if we keep panicking." the Professor told them all.

"Anton, please, I'm begging you! Make her stop crying, my ears hurt!" Luke groaned.

"LUKE YOUR NOT HELPING!" Flora yelled.

"WELL NEITHER ARE YOU BY SCREAMING!" Luke shouted back.

Soon the two of them were arguing. Katia kept crying, Anton desperately tried to calm her down and Klaus looked as if he was about to explode. The Professor placed his finger under his chin and closed his eyes. He was probably thinking how in heavens name he was going to stop this. Youka looked out of the window and wished she just could escape. She thought at the only thing that could make her calm now, the song her mother always sang for her to calm her down or when she was feeling lonely. She silently sang it out loud, it was not like anyone would hear it anyway.

~When I am down and all my pain is with me,
When troubles come and my heart burns inside,
I will be still and wait in the silence,
Until you come and sit with me.
You raised me up so I can stand the mountains,
You raised me up to walk on stormy seas,
I am strong when I am on your shoulders,
You raised me up to more than I would be.
The morning is a mystery, the afternoon a surprise, the evening makes it history,
So shine high, my little star, and raise them up to more than they can be...~

It wasn't a very happy song, but it relaxed her more than anything else. She didn't notice that everyone had turned quiet while she was singing, and they were gaping at her with big eyes.

"Wow Youka, you can sing beautifully!" Luke told her.

"Which song is that?" Anton asked.

"It's a song my mother used to sing to me when I was little, it calms me down." Youka told them.

"It's so sad!" Flora added.

They sat in silence for while thinking what they could do.

"Maybe we'll just have to wait." Flora suggested.

"Yeah and then freeze to death. Great idea Flora!" Klaus said sarcastically, sounding mad.

"Calm down Klaus, maybe you should come up with some ideas!" Luke interfered.

"Aww, how sweet, coming up for your girlfriend, Luke."

"Shut up, she's not my girlfriend!" Luke told him, blushing slightly.

"But you sure want her to be!"!

Both Luke and Flora turned a deep shade of red.

"Ha, That's what I meant! Just great, look those two!"

"Hey Klaus? What's your problem?" Youka asked.

"My problem? Are you really asking me what MY problem is?" Klaus asked, "Hmm... let's think about that one... I know! Maybe it's because we're stuck in the middle of the Mount Everest and because everyone in this cabin has someone to die with except for me!"

"What are you talking about?" Anton asked, "No one here is dating, Klaus."

"Don't make me laugh! You and Katia... Lukyboy and Flora... and I won't be surprised if Layton over there falls for Miss Sing Along!" he told them, his face turning red in fury.

Actually everyone's head was red, red of embarrassment. Youka sighed. She had to come up with something and fast! She looked down to the snow and then to all the snowboards and skies in the cabin. Suddenly a light began to shine in her head. She opened her window and looked at how far the ground was below them. She heard the voice of the Professor behind her asking if she was trying to kill herself. And if he could join in. She went back.

"I have a plan." she told them.

"Tell us!" Klaus said eagerly.

"Well I need to know, are there any experts here?"

"Experts? For what?" they all asked.

"For snowboarding and skiing of course!"

"Wait! You want us to jump?" Flora asked, startled.

"Yeah, that's kinda the idea." Youka admitted. They all looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Well I am a skiing professional, and Anton can do it very well too. Klaus is a snowboarding champion, but the rest are really... bad." the Professor told her.

"That's great! That's even more than we need." she told him, "Hershel, your backing up Luke, Klaus you're backing up Flora and Anton shall I carry Katia or do you want to?"

"No I can do it, she's really light." he told me.

''Is everyone okay with this plan?" I asked. Everyone nodded, some a little unsure. They prepared for the trip down and took their stuff. Youka opened the door and started the countdown. "Three….two….one….GO!" she shouted. Everyone jumped and screamed, except for Klaus and Youka, they just laughed. The trip down the mountain went successfully. They all were exhausted but full of energy at the same time. Some of them had never been so scared before and the others had the time of their lives and couldn't stop smiling.

They went back to the building where they had started and had to wait for two hours until the cabins were working again. It was all ready evening when they passed the same spot in the cabin by the mountain where they had stopped before. Everyone was asleep except for Professor Layton and Youka. They thought it was for the best if someone stayed awake just in case. It was Layton's turn but Youka just couldn't sleep. So they were doing some sort of question game were they would ask each other questions about themselves. But even though it was kinda stupid, they had a lot of fun. They were out of questions for a moment so they just sat into a comfortable silence.

"Do you want to be in our group?" the Professor asked suddenly.

"Um, you mean your group of friends?" she asked.

"Yes." he replied.

"Um, yeah I think so but... yeah! I would love to!"

"Well you did save our lives, and I am sure everybody likes you, even Klaus."

"Even Klaus?" she asked, laughing, "Wow, that has to mean something." They laughed for a moment.

"If you're going to join us, you will have to go though the incoming day first." he told her.

"What's that?" she asked.

"You will see it tomorrow, try to get some sleep first." he suggested.

"All right, good night Professor."

"Good night." He smiled at her soft glow.

"How is that possible? There isn't any light here!" he thought. She closed her eyes and drifted off in a nice sleep.
