Amulets
The daughters were all sitting in Serena's room, having their weekly slumber party. The girls had been chatting about things that normal girls chat about, like what clothes to wear, who was dating who and how they had totally kicked follower ass last night out behind Planet Bang. Catty was sitting cross-legged on Serena's bedroom floor, embellishing a pair of the telepathic goddess' jeans. She had been thinking about last night's battle, listening to her two friends account of what happened, when all of a sudden a question came to mind.
"You know what I don't get?"
"What?" Vanessa did not look up from her Cosmo magazine.
"Remember when Cassandra tried to steal Jimena's power?"
Catty waited for a signal to go on. Nobody said anything.
"Wellll," She went on "she didn't have her amulet on, right?"
"Shyeah," Serena was currently painting her toe nails a bright green.
"Well, didn't Maggie say that our amulets are only a representation of our powers?"
"Yeah? Catty, what are you getting at?"Vanessa said looking up from her magazine.
"Well, how is it that our amulets can protect us from stuff like that, but there aren't some sort of cool weapon thingy?" Catty questioned.
Serena and Vanessa looked at her with confusion on their faces.
"The amulets protect us, Catty. Thats why Cassandra was able to steal Jimena's power." explained Serena, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
Catty heaved a heavy sigh that thrust her shoulders down. She then blew a rogue strand of brown hair out of her face to show her maximum frustration. That so totally wasn't what she meant.
So she tried again.
"I mean, if they don't have any power to protect us, how do they protect us? You know, if it wasn't just an ordinary piece of metal it wouldn't be able to do anything at all. No sparks and rays of light and stuff like that. Am I right?"
Her fellow goddesses looked at her for a moment, then contemplated what she had just said. Catty was hoping that they would understand her and not just think that it was just another of her odd ideas that they almost always dismissed.
Then they looked at one another and shook their heads.
"Catty, thats just ridiculous" Vanessa chastised.
The time traveling girl slumped her shoulders in defeat.
