"You guys ready?" Jade asked.
Nods.
Jade groaned in annoyance, "Then grab on!" Hastily, everyone did grab on.
"You know, if you just tell me where we're going, I can take the others." Jaden suggested.
Jade sighed, "Can't your kids do this? How about Rose's?"
"I never trained them..."
"Idiot." She growled, "Just because I died doesn't mean you can put your magical past behind you until I magically come back to life."
Jaden tilted his head, "How are you here anyway?"
Jade growled, "Fu-" Quick to correct herself, realizing the children in the room, "Freaking Cecelia hired some kind of wizard to bring me back to life with a freaking revival spell." she scowled. "Sarah and Lakey are probably going nuts over trying to find me." she mumbled under her breath. Although Jaden heard her quite alright. "Well, let's go! We got a mother to save!"
Rose Truesdale, in to which has gone missing
Had not so much as to escaped from me.
For the whole time she's been gone, I've been silently wishing.
Take us all, the ones in this chain, for it's her we want to see.
Rose cried.
his was the first funeral she's ever been at, and she hoped that it would be the last.
And it just so happened, that in that casket in the front of the church, was her bestest friend in the whole entire world.
"It'll be okay." Jaden tried to reassure her, though his eyes were stained red. "She wouldn't want you to be crying over her." She smiled sadly, leaning my head on the older boy's shoulder.
What he just said was completely, utterly true. Rose felt Jaden's arms go around her in a comforting embrace. This let Rose hug him back tightly, leaving no space at all inbetween them. Her crying became louder as she burried her head into the crook of Jaden's neck.
"I bet if she were here," he joked, trying to lighten the ever so darkening mood, "She'd be yelling at us to stop worring over her. That she was fine."
The sad energy around them seemed to lighten a bit.
They had no idea that exactly what Jaden suggested, was actually happening by affar.
Even though her mind and body were gone.
Her heart and soul would forever be with them.
"So." Rose started, striking up a different conversation to bring a little light into the dark dungon. "How have you been since college?"
Cece shrugged. "Boring without you around."
Rose chuckled, "Naturally."
"I still can't believe a badass like you married a goody-two-shoes." Cece commented.
"Sy's sweet." Rose began, "He kinda rubbed off on me after I dropped out of college. Met him at a library. Besides, opposites attract. Also, he doesn't even know much about my childhood - or adolesenthood for that matter."
Cece pouted teasingly, "Oh? So you never told them about mwa?" Then she backtracked on what Rose admitted, "Wait a second. A library? You hate studying!" she gaped.
A blush that matched Rose's name adorned her cheeks. "I wasn't even in school. Why would you think I was studying?" She defended herself quite quickly.
Cece snickered, "Then what exactly were you doing?"
Her face got even redder, but Cece insisted she tell her. Rose complied soon enough.
The Flower never could say no to her bestest friend in the whole universe.
Ring! BRRRRRRRRing!
The young girl turned in her bed, groaning at the sound of her phone going off, most likely the alarm she set on it.
But as it continued ringing, Rose got restless and grabbed the phone, ready to turn the alarm off.
But instead, on the screen was a familiar name- or, at the very least, a familar nickname:
Jay-Bird
Rose blinked. Then quickly hit accept to hear the voice of her friend.
"Hey Rosey! I bet I woke you up, didn't I?"
Rose scoffed playfully, a big smiled suddenly slapped onto her facial features. "Sure did, babe."
She could actually see Jaden smirk in her head as she called him 'babe'. So what they weren't together anymore? Didn't mean they couldn't still tease.
"Now, sweetie, feel special. I'm going to be late to the exams because I needed to talk to you beforehand."
Jaden wasn't one for giving cute pet-names, but when he did, it was only teasing.
Rose grinned, "You're always late to school. It's nothing to need to feel special about. So, what's up?" She twirled her finger around one of her red curls.
She bought some dye remover the day she got to the new city. Her naturally red hair coming back into view as her accidently dyed blonde hair slowly disappeared.
She guessed the thought of undying her hair from the color her best friend made it didn't come across her at any point when her best friend was... when she was... here...
"Oh, just calling to remind you to wake you up for your first day of regular school. Still can't believe you didn't want to come here to DA with me. I'm going to miss you, you know."
Rose laughed, "Yeah, thanks. And, just so you know, I would have LOVED to have went to DA with you, but Mom insisted I don't bother with such nonesense and go to a highschool that actually gives me a life." She sighed. "I actually worked hard enough to skip a grade in order to go to high school with you and end up without you." When Jaden didn't respond, she kept talking. "I'll miss you too, love ya."
As friends. Don't get any ideas.
"I'm already late for my exams, I need to go Rosey."
Rose pouted, "Please stay on. I'll be late for school aswell, but I don't care if I get to talk to you." Jaden chuckled on his end.
"Okay."
Good thing too.
Because what Rose didn't realize at the moment was that this would be the last time she would hear Jaden Yuki's voice.
Or, at least, Jay-Bird's voice.
"So, what now?" Jaden asked. His younger sister huffed.
"Looks like her little castle is enchanted. Only she can enter and exit this place."
"Well, at least we appeared outside of it." Leslie sighed from behind.
The three little ones were left behind with Alexis - although reluctantly. You see, Alexis really wanted to go and make sure her friend was OK, but she had to stay behind and make sure the kids don't get into any trouble.
Also, Jade pointed out that the dungon was no place for a pregnant woman, no matter how strong said pregnant woman was. Whips and chains weren't good to be around when you're carrying a life. Especially not if they could be used against you.
"Hey Jay, I bet if all of us used our magic at once, we could easily break the enchantment." Jade grinned at her idea.
Jaden rose an eyebrow, "And just what do you mean by all of us?"
Jade glanced at the trio of teens, "Why us, my nieces, and best friend's daughter of course."
Said teenage girls gasped. "We... we don't know how!" Katherine exclaimed.
Jade frowned, "Well surely you two are magical. The whole side of your father's family is!" she revealed, practically shrieking.
"We're not! At least... I don't think so..." Cassidy said.
Jade shot a glare that could kill at her older brother. Jaden put his hand up in surrender, "Yes they are, okay?" he revealed, which caused a few to gasp. "I kinda put a spell on them to hide their powers. Rosey obviously put one on Leslie and Marina too. If not they would have been flying around before they learned to walk!"
Cassidy and Katherine gaped at their father, an obvious gleam in their eyes. "We can fly?!" Leslie also gave a similar reaction, except she was more concerned with having been put on a spell while just a newborn!
"Ugh!" Jade huffed, crossing her arms. "I was always the one break the news. Looks like it's still that way. Reverse the spell." she ordered.
Jaden sighed and looked toward his first daughters. They looked up at him in wonder. He winced and turned back to Jade, "I don't want to hurt them..." he pouted. "They're my little girls!"
The twins rolled their eyes, but giggled at their daddy's actions.
Jade sighed (there seems to be a lot of that going on), "Hey babes, you think you can take a little pinch? All Jay's gonna do is recite the spell to unlock the spell and you'll suddenly feel a rush of energy, you might just lose a little control for a second too..." she asked the girls (Katherine and Cassidy).
Kathy and Cassy quickly nodded, excited about the fact they were actual witches (and not the bad kind either).
"How about me?" Leslie asked, pointing a finger to herself in confusion. She turned to her father, who was still in shock of finding out that his wife was a witch.
"Sorry sweetheart," Jade began, "only the one who put the spell on you in the first place can break it."
This caused Leslie to frown just slightly.
Rose rushed into her school, she was way late. Jaden would probably get to school on time but she couldn't say the same for herself. When Jay called her, he was already dressed and ready to run to the Kaiba Dome. This was while he was talking to Rose on the phone, who was still on her bed, clad in her PJs.
She was now up and ready for school, dressed in a skirt and a blouse. But... there was one problem... she was already 30 minutes late to her first period class.
Oh well.
"Hey! You late too?" a girl ran up to Rose and chuckled. "So how were you late? Overslept? Miss the bus?"
Rose's mouth formed a smirked, "Nah, just talking on the phone."
"Boyfriend?" the other girl asked.
"Ex." Rose stated simply. "We broke up because I had to move. Besides, he's going to a boarding school that probably has a bunch of pretty girls, not to mention he's older than me. I come from Japan!"
"In peace?" the girl joked.
Rose laughed and stopped her running, they were at the school, they could handle walking the rest of the way to their already late class. "Of course!"
"I'm Cecelia, or Cece." Cecelia introduced herself. "Badass."
Rose smirked, "Rosalinda, I prefer Rose. Badass."
"Well in that case, we'll get along just great. So, how many detentions have you gotten last year?" Cece asked.
Rose thought for a moment, then sweatdropped, "I get one practically every day of the week with the people I hang with."
Oh, this would certaintly be the start of a great friendship.
Cecelia watched Rose as she took a sip of the drink she gave her.
Certaintly Cece never wanted Rose in any danger, she had no intention of hurting her bestie.
In highschool, Cece and Rose immediately became fast friends. Having most of the same classes, skipping said classes, and calling the principal by his first name. Yep, they were fast friends.
When Cece caught Rose doing a bit of magic to manipulate her detention time just a tiny bit. Cece was shocked, but she knew how to handle these things.
Cece's family were full of witches and warlocks. With her... they just happened to skip a gene.
After that, Rose broke out into stories and stories about her and her best friend Jade Yuki, who happened to pass away several months ago.
This to which Cece was not satisfied. So she got an older brother to cast a spell on Rose.
All her real memories along with Jade and Jaden Yuki were then replaced with fake memories consisting of Rose and Cece.
From what Rose could remember, her and Cece were best friends ever since kindergarten.
But Cece was broken from her thoughts when the door slammed open.
Rose's eyebrow rose and in walked the female version of a seventeen year old Jaden Yuki.
Oh who ever could this be?
I'm not a poet! I'm not good at this rhyming stuff! Grrr!
Oh, and three guesses for who showed up.
;)
