"I'm Samantha. It's nice to meet you." The blonde curly haired tan girl said with a friendly pink smile.
I blinked twice looking at her. She was cute, like an anime innocent school girl. She had long curly blonde hair that went to her waist that the sun's natural lighting complemented well. Her eyes were crisom red and burned with warmth like cabin fire sparks at night. Samantha wore a dark red and white short sleeve belly show stripped shirt with a big red heart in the middle. Her black skirt was short with some frills that matched her nice black shoes that straped together at the insides with velcro.
Innocent school girl, right?
"Um, yeah~! Hi, I'm Kuzoku. Nice to meet you too." I stuttered. "We should get going..." I mumbled trying to avoid her and the awkwardness as much as possible while starting up the bike so it made a rumbling noise.
"To where?" Samantha asked in her cute soft voice.
I realized that I had no inkling where we would go, or where she would like to go in that matter. I brought my gloved hand up to my face and gave a long exhale. Taking this as a sign that I had no clue, Samantha took her hand and placed it in front of her mouth, shutting her long eyelashed eyes and giving out muffled giggles. "Your funny. I like you!" She laughed.
I gave her a side glance from behind my gloved hand that was ( thanfully ) covering a possibly visable blood flow to my cheeks. I put my hand back on the purple padded handle bars and looked at her, "Well, where do you want to go?"
She shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe we could walk around town for a while. Actually," She paused, pointing a finger up stating her point. "I heard there was this new choclate bakery in Magix! It just opened last week. A couple choclatiers fresh from colonary school just opened it. I think it's just across the little bridge in that old little cottage. They remodeled it totally and it's supposivly really popular."
"Alright then. We'll go there, I'm not gonna lie. I love choclate and have a bad sweet tooth." I admitted with a mere smile.
She giggled again, "Great! So we'll do that maybe tonight. In the meantime, what do you want to do?"
I used my gloved hand once again to pat the seat behind me, "Ya know, I've been told once or twice in my life that I'm a person of the whims."
She giggled again and allowed me to take her smaller delicate hand and help her onto my bike. I took of my purple helmet and secured it around her head which fit her perfectly, considering I was on of the "smaller boys" of our class.
I lifted my foot from the secured safety of the ground and let gravity take us airborn. I spead at Alfea's campus rule speed limits, and once we broke out from the paved sidewalks and out of view from the large pink castle like fairy academy building, I speed off into the larger two lane roads and off to Magix.
I put my foot securely on the grounds of Magix and flipped my golden key out of the bikes ignition. I flipped my other leg over the red object next to my other foot to be standing of the ground. I helped the innocent Samantha off the bike and chained it up safetly to a parking space. I got off my knees and gave Samantha a thumbs up and a big white smile.
We walked around Magix for some while, admiring the decorations being put up for the soon upcoming holiday of Easter, and finally, Samantha settled that she saw a cute little china store that she wanted to go into if I didn't mind. I reassured her that I did not mind and we walked to the little corner store called Tsui Ling's China. We opened the glass door that had a paper flipped to the red bold words Open and greeted by the jingling of a cieling bell.
An old lady looked up from behind a glass counter infront of the store and smiled. She had wrinkles under her eyes, on her forehead, and created more when she flashed us her genuine smile. Her eyes were dark brown and squinted but full of sage gained from her age and worldy expierience. Her hair was all kinds of whites and grays that she tied back in a high bun and secured with a white and golden sparkly clip in the shape of a lilly.
The old lady looked back to ground to continue her task which appeared to be a tedious one in that matter because she was trying to life a big brown box with duct tape and all kinds of signs saying face up, and fragile. When she stood up straight to put the box on the counter, I could get a full view of her petite and hunched over frame.
"Here, please, let me help you Ms. " I said rushing over to the old chinese lady's side lifting the box and placing it on the glass counter top gently. I put it down letting out a, "Phew~!" while dusting off imaginary dust from my hands. I smiled and looked down at the old lady. She looked at me with her dark brown eyes as if shocked by my actions... or something else. I smiled a big smile at her, " As a specialist, it's my duty to help as many people as I can to become a hero!"
"That was nice of you Kuzoku! " Samantha said while walking towards us standing on the opposite side the glass display case counter.
"Yes it was." The old lady said softly as she smiled looking up at me."What a pretty young lady you are."
My heart skipped a beat, but Samantha smiled and bowed her head as if saying a silent "thank you". Safe.
"I must say, your shop is very cute. The name is admirable too." Samantha complemented the old lady. "Are you Tsui Ling?"
The old lady nodded slowly, "Yes, I was named after my grandmothers. My mother opened this shop and I've been taking care of it since I was a youngster."
Samantha put her hand over her heart, "That's so sweet."
"Well it's a very nice shop you have down here Ms." I said walking over to Samatha.
"Oh please, call me Tsui Ling." She suggested. She then put her hand ontop of the big box labled fragile. "Do you want to see?"
We both nodded eagerly like little kids saying yes to a bedtime story. She took a small knife and started to cut open the duct taped box. I stopped her from using her shackled old bony joints and cut open the box myself. She commented on what a nice boy I was and opened the four flaps of the box. She rumaged through chinese written newspapers and packaging peanuts. She finally lifted with her fragile bony wrinkled hands a small fine china grand white piano.
Samantha gasped and her her hands over her mouth, "It's beautiful!"
Tsui Ling nodded, "It is from my home." She twisted a silver switch, and slowly the piano started playing music and opened. Inside was a small mirror that barely showed your face and a tiny twirling balerina in a pink tutu with matching shoes, a white skin colored base, hair tied up in a bun and over her face a half black half white mask. "It is said to show who one truley is."
I looked intently at it and listened to the music that came out of it. It was so sweet and innocent, but yet with happyness, joy and deep feeling. The sound reminded me of rain drops falling, stars twinkling, millions of fingers snapping, and magic.
I didn't realize that Samantha was laughing at how deep I took the glass object and how Tsui Ling held it out to me. I blinked and looked up and Tsui Ling. "No, it means too much to you. I couldn't possibly take it."
Tsui Ling lowered her eyes as if disapointed, and that gesture made me remember on how my mother looked the first time I truley disapointed her and I vowed to never have to make someone feel like that. I put my hands on the piano when it seemed as if the music stopped and the balerina started to vanish in the dephs of a little hole so the paino could close because Tsui Ling's joy stopped and when my fingers brushed against the tiny keys, the balerina came out of her hole, the piano lid sprang open to show me the mirrorrs' image of me and the music started again.
Tsui Ling smiled, "You keep it."
I smiled and thanked her in a whisper and with that, a smiling Samantha and a very deeply felt me left the tiny corner store with a new friend and music box in hand.
Dusk cuaght up with us rather quickly, and so did the chilly weather of the changing seasons. I offered Samantha my vest once or twice but she refused lecturing me on how I coupld get sick and it would be her fault. I rolled my eyes and took of my white kintted hat placing it on her blonde head of hair. Her big red eyes questioned me, but I flashed her another white smile.
We walked across the small Magix bridge and into the property of the three choclatiers. A little wooden sign that said Welcome to Our Home. Samantha commented on how it was cute on how the bakery itself was named Our Home.
I opened the heavy oak door for Samantha and was greeted for the second time that day by a cieling bell along with the smell of choclate. It lured us into the little mini cottage and englufed us in it's smell and feel of comfort and warmth. It may sound weird, but Samantha's eyes reminded me of Our Home.
When you walked in, there was a little dinning area consisting of dark weaven chairs with orange and yellow cushions, and matching tables with glass plates, glasses, silver ware, and cinnamon scented candles. The floors were wooden, and two walls were renovated to be logs like a log cabin. The other two in the back of the cottage behind the counter where a relaxing yellow. There was a glass counter displaying many delicous treats with a cash register sitting ontop of it. There were no kitchen doors, the treats were made infront of everyone which made the smell of choclate pervade the entire room and perhaps the outside as well.
Smantha and I sat at one of the tables infront of a large renovated window letting us view the moon's reflection on the lake, the giant oak tree nursed back to health, the little rock path from the Magix bridge to the bakery, and the fields of grass that surrond everything else.
"Relaxing isn't it?" Samantha asked adjusting my hat on her head.
"Charming. " I corrected.
A young girl maybe in college in a white collared shirt covered by a yellow and orange plaid jumper with a small white apron with pockets and her orange brown hair tied in a pony tail walked over to us with a tray of delicacies.
"Free samples today! Gift boxes are available and the prices vary. Please enjoy your stay here at Our Home and return again! Please also leave comments on our WorldWideWeb page to kinda get us in the right direction because we are new here in Magix! I'm Stacy, so if you need anything, let me know!" Stacy exclaimed all the while putting down plates of treats, and two cups full of something unknown ( but to take a wild guess, it probably contained choclate ).
One plate contained bite sized choclate brownies with choclate custard topping it and the same laring the inside. Another dish contained bite sized pepermint choclates shaped and decorated into hearts, eggs, bunnies, and ribbons. There was a small bowl filled with choclate dipping sauce swirled with vanilla with sides of fruits like bananas, apples, and strawberries. The two tall and narrow cups Stacy placed on our table were filled with choclate cake pudding topped with custard, choclate cinamon sticks, and a small portion of a choclate bar. All in all, this was a alot of choclate.
So we started eating. Smantha taking small bites of the pudding with a spoon, and me eating the bite sized brownie with my fingers. "The smell reminds me of what the palace smelled of that night." Samantha said suddenly, staring out of the window intently as if fixated on her reflection in the window, and not what was outside of it.
I stopped munching,"Castle?"
She looked at me, "Yes. My castle in Loveron. It smells of the night of the engagment party."
Great, so she saves the girly stuff for last. I knew she was a bit too quiet to be true. Like every girl she's going to wanna talk about it... and me being a boy, I have to be the other them but different gender.
"Huh?" I asked simply already preparing for the long story.
"I was suprised when you showed up today. Most people know about what happened that night, and men tend to avoid me because of it."She trailed slowly, "The night my Mother told the kingdom I was engaged to Price Karlos of Lovetron: the prince of our sister planet. It's been the same for years. Marry the other royal from the sister planet."
"Doesn't that mean your cousins?" I asked mouth full of pudding trying to sound involved with her story. Let's just blame it on my short attention span.
"Sort of. That's not why I didn't want to marry him. It was something else..."
"Adventure?"
"Love."
Of coarse...
"My heart belonged to another. What's even worse is that he was the stable boy! But I couldn't stop myself. His beautiful mess of brown hair that he tied back in a pony tail when he worked, his love for animals, his big white smile he was able to flash even though his past is sad... and I was engaged. But that night changed me. Them. " Smantha said with hatred.
"Them?" I asked for elaboration.
"The Trix." She growled with anger.
I made a noise in my throat that prevented me from chocking on the choclate vanilla swirled dipped sauced strawberry in my mouth. "What?"
"They crashed it! I didn't care about the party! They hit him! Blasted him! He died! In my arms! I would rather have his life back then my stupid enchantix!" She yelled, balling her fists, tears rushing from benath her red puffy eyes down her red cheeks, along her jawline and falling down onto the white table cloth staining it with her tears of sadness.
I chewed my finger nails. No no no no no no no no no no! Now she's going to want comforting! Shi~t! I'm bad at that!
I looked all along the table looking for something useful, but I think I just managed to move my arms and hands awkwardly up and down hula style which made me acomplish: looking like a dork.
"Hey Mr! I'm giving out free stickers to the couples in this room!" A little girl with blonde hair pulled up into two pigtails, her big purple eyes sparkling with joy. "Here!" She said placing the big red heart sticker on our table. I stared at her and she stared at me then, "Bye!"
I looked at the sticker and at the crying blonde teen sitting across from me. A could hear the idea in my brain click and I quickly grabbed the sticker, pulled the heart off of the square white paper and place it at the bottom of her right cheek. She looked at me and I ( guess... ) gave a big white smile.
"Thank you for tonight Kuzoku." Samantha thanked as she stood infront of me, hands folded neatly infront of her slightly more girly frame. "It was really fun."
"It's all good, Samantha. Oh and, I'm sorry about your love. The trix," I paused, "Sooner or later someone will teach em a lesson."
She simply odded. Before I knew what was happening, she was more than a few centemeters from my face. By instinct, I put my hand to her face and pushed away. Shit! Why am I such an ass when I'm a boy?!
"Ya know Samantha, you don't have to pretend to like me to prevent marriage. Just find someone you really love." I said and flashed her a bright white smile.
She smiled and gave me my hat back. "Thank you, Kuzoku. I hope you find someone to."
With that, Samantha ran off into the inside of the pink castle academy for faries.
I walked into the door to find the guys sitting around the TV watching some Musa Melody stuff. They obviously didn't hear me walk in because I am clearly a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Pop songs always tell us our lives are irreplacable
But if someone were to come and take my place, I'm sure no one would notice at all
Through long continued days that want to make me flee
I realize I'm here for a cause and take a seat
Forever unable to become anything at all
My heart slowly comes to a stop.
Pulling on my scab I scratch my old wound to bleeding again
A second kind of blood drips out of me
And it turns out to be the new part of me
What kind of music do I even like?
What kind of food do I prefer to try?
Who is the person that I like?
It doesn't matter they probably don't like me anyway
When I was young I covered my ears and would cry,
"No one understand eachother one another!"
I yell this to myself all the time,
But truth be told I want to be loved even if on the outside
Because I'll never be anything, I have put up a good upfront
Pretending I've accomplished something and smiling to myself
That's no way of living is it?
My heart once again comes to a stop.
I wonder what about me is still lacking.
I have no hints so I guess this'll do
It's sorta like waking up at seven am
and saying I can sleep for another five minutes
What kind of music do I even like?
What kind of food do I prefer to try?
Who is the person that I like?
It doesn't matter they probably don't like me anyway
There's none. There's none. There's no future at all.
I do not. I do not. Hold any expectations.
There's none. There's none. There's no one around me.
No one to love me anymore.
I want. I want. To smile and hold hands with someone
I do. I do. Want someone to recongize me.
I have given up on any and everything.
This side of me starts to blur...
What kind of music do I even like?
What kind of food do I prefer to try?
Who is the person that I like?
It doesn't matter they probably don't like me anyway
Saying things like this made me give up again and again
And while self satisfied let myself get hurt
Now I see why no one loves me,
I don't have to not care, I just have to love me fi~rst!
(There's none. There's none. There's no future at all.

Musa Melody walked up to the camera and looked half the universe in the eye and said, "I'm Musa Melody, I can be anything. Even if it takes a song to get it through, Thanks for watching my own personal Interview. "
