heyy! this is my original story that I made up. Please read and enjoy!

Note: I'm sorry! I keep getting the Isabella I know (her names not really Isabella though) and the Isabella in this story mixed up! Isabella Rossi has already had her first kiss, and so the kiss from the last chapter would be the second one. Sorry. The girl I based it on hasn't had her first kiss yet. A loser, I know. Just JOKES! Lol. Sorry, hun!

Chapter 10

Daphne's P.O.V

I walked down the school corridors with Lily and Bridgette chatting away. They were talking about the different sports this year that Lily would have to play in and the ones that Bridgette gets to cheer at.

"So, we have this new cheer thing...completely awesome!" Bridgette was saying. "Oh! That reminds me, Daph, are you going to join the cheer squad or not?"

"Umm..." I stammered, realizing that I haven't given any thoughts to it since she had mentioned it before, about three days ago. "I actually don't know. I'm not very flexible."

"Oh, don't worry about that. You can always be at the top of the pyramid." Bridgette remarked.

"T-top?" I mumbled as we slowly made our way around the groups. I noticed how people, boys and girls alike, were staring. Did I have something in my teeth? Or hair?

"Yeah, come on, please?" Bridgette begged, giving me her puppy dog face. I groaned, then giggled. "Fine. I'll try it out."

"Yay!" Both Bridge and Lily went. I smiled, embarrassed.

Suddenly, we passed a wall. On it was a poster and I gasped as I read the words.

"HOW ON IVYLONIA DID I GET NOMINATED?!?!?!?!?!" the three of us shouted at the same time. We looked at each other shocked.

"Hey...those are the girls who were nominated to be one of the princesses....wow. Four First Years this year? Honestly, what were they thinking? Sure, those girls are pretty but how will they beat the others? They haven't learnt anything we have yet! They're going to lose badly." Came a whisper from behind me.

"Yeah...I completely agree. I wonder who nominated them? Man, they're gonna get whopped." the other whisper came.

We turned around and eyed the two girls. "What kind of shit are you girls talking about? Beat at what?"

The first girl, normal brunette with a slightly big nose and tiny lips smiled at me. "Good luck, hun. There's a Princess and a Prince Contest, for the contestants. It's going to be difficult, especially for you girls."

"Yeah. Don't know what they were thinking. Oh and, BTW, don't swear at us." the second girl, redhead with a long neck but a small body huffed before leaving with her friend.

I looked at Bridgette, my eyes wide with fear. "We're gonna die!"

"No, they're probably just jealous. Did you see how gross they looked?" Lily asked.

"I totally agree. Don't worry about it. Now, we gotta get to class." Bridgette said, then she began to walk again.

Sighing, I followed after her.

Brie's P.O.V

I combed through my hair, thinking about my birthday that was in less then a week. My necklace was off, and suddenly I felt more free, more to myself. Spira floated easily around me, sometimes fixing a spot I missed. Memories flowed through my head, as they always did as I took off my ninja gear and my necklace.

"Hey Monica, you called?" I asked, coming into the throne room.

She sat upon her Mother's throne, wearing her mother's crown, and holding her mother's staff. I thought about the fake tears I had seen on her face as she watched her mother die. Then I saw the happiness as she found out her baby sister, Cassi, was missing. Then, she had called me into the throne room, now.

"I need you to do me a favour." She said. "Please, Brie?"

"What is it?" I asked, taking a seat on the steps. Monica came and sat down beside me, her gown flowing endlessly around her.

"I need you to find Cassi." She instructed.

That surprised me. "What? I thought you liked being queen."

"I do. That's why when you find her, you must keep her wherever she is." she told me.

"No! She...she's your little sister! That's...evil!" I stammered. Monica was always on the edgy side, always being left out....this was the result.

"I command it, Brie Bautista, daughter of General Bautista. You MUST do as I say. And, I command that you eliminate everyone who tries to stop you." Monica demanded.

I sighed. "Yes, your Highness." I hated how she used me to do her dirty work, using my father's position against me.

"Brie...you're my best friend. I knew you'd do it for me. So...I have a gift for you..." Monica snapped her fingers, and a servant girl, I didn't know her name, appeared around the corner. She curtsied deeply and then on a red pillow, was a little box. The servant, held it out for Monica. She took the box, then turned to me. "Brie, I want you to have this." She opened the little red box, and inside was a beautiful necklace. It had a silver hoop in the middle, and had a silver chain.

"Wow.....thanks, Monica! Awwwh, this is soo sweet." I cried, throwing my arms around her. She laughed. "Good. This assures me that you'll do as I say."

I shook my head. After that memory, I didn't remember much anymore. There was always a second voice in my head, telling me what she wanted. I looked into the mirror, and looked down upon my blue dress. Monica was having a special dinner tonight, and my family was invited. I smiled. Dylan was going to be there. Actually, I didn't like him as much as I did when we were younger. Sure, my heart still beats fast sometimes, but after I saw how angry he was that that girl he liked -Daphne was it?- had a boyfriend, I realized that Dylan never loved me. It kinda still hurts, but I never really expected anything of us.

I stood up and took one last look before living my chambre. A guard was standing outside, waiting to escort me to the dining hall.

Daphne's P.O.V

"Can you BELIEVE that we get to miss the rest of the day for ice-skating? In September?!?!?!" I asked, excitedly as I changed into warmer clothes.

"I know! I loveee ice-skating though!" Bridgette remarked.

"I've never been...but it can't be that hard, can it?" Lily asked as she tied her hair up.

"Water is my specialty. I hope I won't slip." Kairi sighed as she put her jacket on.

I placed on my jacket too. "And she says we can go on our own for a little while before we meet up at the skating rink. I think Imma go home, and get my skates."

We slowly made our way to the yellow bus (to blend into the human world) and then boarded. Sadly, it was only First Years that were going, so we couldn't have fun with the guys.

Once we had gotten to the human world, which took at least two hours, I got off happily.

"Ok! You guys have got one hour to go anywhere you want! Have fun and don't go anywhere alone!" our instructer told us, before going her own way.

I linked arms with the girls and then we headed towards my house, which was only a couple of blocks away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I rang the doorbell at my house. My friends stood eagerly around me, waiting impatiently to see my house.

The door threw open and my mother came out. Her face was a look of surprise as she took in five girls, one of them was her daughter. "DAPHNE! You're home! Why didn't you tell us? Your father is going to be sooooooo happy!" She pulled me into a quick hug. "And you brought friends! What a delight! Come in, come in!"

I walked into the familiar hallway and listened to my friends "wow"s. Ok, I sooo didn't get it. One girl lives in an ocean castle, another lives underground in a fire kingdom, one lives in trees, hidden from the world and the last lives in the freaking sky! And they think this place is impressive? Pfft.

"Daddy!" I cried as my father rounded the corner.

"Daphne." He said, nodding. Then he turned enthusiastically to my friends. "So, isn't she a pain in the butt already?"

My jaw dropped. How dare he! In front of my friends! My 'rents burst into laughter looking at my face and soon the girls joined in.

"I'm Bridgette. Awesome to meet you." Bridge said, smiling.

"Lily. Pleasure." She introduced.

"My name's Kairi." Kairi remarked.

"Isabella." Iz said casually.

"I just came home to get my skates." I informed my parents, then went to the closet, pulling out my skates box. I took out the white skates with the golden rims. I smiled then placed it into my bag.

"Honey, we also have your birthday present." My mother told me, then she rushed out of the room to retrieve it.

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?!?!!?!?!?!?!" the girls cried, horrified.

I laughed. "No. It's in like, five days."

They sighed in relief and then got it.

"What will I get you?" Kairi whined.

"Why didn't you tell us?!?" Bridgette demanded.

"I don't have moneyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Isabella complained.

"Thanks, Daph. Thanks." Lily said sarcastically.

"Awwh...my baby girl doesn't need no presents. She just needs her friends and family around her. " my father told them.

"Yeah. I agree with the old man." I laughed.

Then my mother was back. She handed me a red box with a blue ribbon. "Honey. Listen to me carefully. Don't open it until the morning of your birthday ok? At...8:00 a.m. Got it?"

I nodded. "I promise, Mommy." I gave her a hug then my father. "I got to go now, byes!"

And with that, I grabbed my friends' and left.

"Awwh...we couldn't even take a tour." Lily complained.

"Wooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kairi screamed as she slid back and forth on the ice. She screamed, grabbing onto the closest person, who just so happened to be Lily (who's never ice-skated before) and they both fell flat on their asses.

I laughed and twirled in the same spot. "I thought you were the master at all sports, Lily?"

"Not. All." she mumbled, pulling on the sides to help her stand up. Kairi stood up, blushing. "Sorry, Lil."

Isabella stepped out onto the ice. I prepared myself to see her flailing and falling but instead she went and did a small figure eight. "I'm pretty good at skating." she told us.

"But...but...you can't be! You're fire! Cold and water are your worst fears! Together, it's unbeatable! You...you can't be good at ice-skating!" Lily stammered, angrily.

"Jealous, eh Lily? And you're angry that I finally beat you in something?" Isabella taunted. She did a twirl in the spot.

Lily growled but didn't reply.

Then, Bridgette came out. Her right leg was raised and her arms out to balance her and she went to the center of the rink and did multiple twirls, pulling her leg into her body to make herself go faster, as she lowered herself closer to the ground for more balance. She stopped spinning and came back up, smiling triumphed at Isabella.

We skated out to her, (I holding onto Lily as Isabella helped Kairi) and we hugged Bridgette. "You're amazing!"

I looked around. Only First Years (boys and girls) were there...so our school had probably rented out the rink earlier.

"I know." Bridgette proudly said. "Been skating for a long time."

I let go of Lily, despite her cries of fears and skated around a bit. I followed in the line, which went around the whole rink. It was quite fun and relaxing...

until...

BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! "OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Came a cry from the middle of the rink.

I laughed as I skated over to Kairi, who was lying on the ice, moaning. Isabella, Lily and Bridgette crouched down over her.

"Are you ok?" I asked her.

"Even though....water...is...my...specialty...ice...is...NOT." she groaned, unhappily. We helped Kairi up onto her feet and then let her go slowly.

Already Lily was getting the hang of it...now only Kairi was left.

For the rest of the afternoon, we skated around, teaching them how to do different things, until they no longer fell...

well...ok, maybe they DID fall after that...but only because I pushed them. Teehee.

Back at the School

We changed out of our wet clothes and into our uniforms again. I placed my present upon my desk, wanting to know what was inside, but I would never break my promise.

"Roof, guys?" Isabella asked. "It's nice out."

I nodded. "Yeah. No homework tonight. Let's go."

"OK...but tomorrow we have to practise for cheer-leading ok, Daph?" Bridgette asked.

I nodded once more.

"I found a new way up to the roof, much easier." Isabella told us.

"Kool. How?" Lily asked.

"This way." Isabella said. We walked down a corridor that was still in our dorm, but was abandoned.

"This is scary..." Kairi whispered.

Isabella then opened a door, which had stairs. We went up the stairs, closing the door gently behind us.

Soon, after about two flights, we found ourselves on the roof.

"That was sooo kool!" I exclaimed.

"I know." Isabella said proudly.

Then, a voice called out. "Girls?!?!?!"

We tried to hide but couldn't find any places. Slowly, we turned around and was surprised. The boys were sitting at the table, playing cards. They were surprised to see us too.

"What are you doing here?" Seth and Lily asked at the same time. "Woah."

"Just...wanting a break from the school." Bridgette informed.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared, floating in the air. Brie! and Dylan! There was probably eight other ninjas with them.

"Good. It's an even number." Brie said, her voice loud and dominating.

I looked to the girls. "Let's go."

"PIXIE DUST!" And, we all transformed.

"This is my first time as a Guardian." Aaron told me, coming to stand beside me. He looked pretty kool in the gear.

THe guys left their table and joined their girls, dressed and ready for battle.

"This time, I'm going to kill you." Brie told us. "I choose...the pink one."

I rose up, so that I was at the same level she was at. Suddenly, the ninjas were all aiming at my friends. It was a blur beneath us, but I couldn't hear anything. A sword, made of metal but had a pink handle appeared at my side. I took it, and watched as Brie pulled out her sword.

"Hey...dude with the hair! How 'bout a sword fight?" I heard from Dylan, down below.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" cried Bridgette.

"What?!?!" Lily, Kairi and Isabella exclaimed.

"I'LL EXPLAIN LATER!" Bridgette shouted she got absorbed in her own battle.

By not paying attention, Brie came at me. I dodged her, using my sword to protect me. Our swords clashed, and I tried to get past hers but it was no use. CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! went our swords, then, she sliced my arm. Pain ran through my body as blood dripped down my arm, but I continued to fight. She had said she was going to kill me. Little violent person.

I got a scratch on her arm and blood appeared, but not a major injury.

We continued.

Not a word was exchanged, as if our fate was already decided. Mark after mark appeared on my body , as it did on hers.

Finally, panting hard from dodging and swinging, I felt as if I could fly no more. She was puffing hard too, just as tired.

Then, I saw an opening. I went straight for her stomach and as she dodged I turned around, hitting her with my elbow. She fell to the ground below, her bandanna falling from her face. I landed on the ground looking down on her, the tip of my sword at her neck.

"Well....what...are...you...waiting...for?" she hurled at me.

Then, Aaron appeared. "Stop! Daphne! Stop!" He practically threw himself onto his knees, away from his ow fight with Dylan, shoving my sword away. I dropped it. He hovered over her, then turned to me, his eyes narrowed. "How could you hurt her? Can't you see the resemblance between the two of you? How...how could you guys dare to do this to each other?"

I looked closely at Brie, never really noticing her features....her gear took too much attention. She had mid-night black hair, and eyes as silver as her necklace....her necklace...which was glowing.... High cheekbones and a perfect nose, she looked more like me then I had thought.

Stop it! You guys can't look alike! You're not related ,but enemies! My brain told me...but it felt strange...looking at her without her mask. She looked at me, no anger or hatred there either, but a look of curiosity and surprise. Perhaps she saw what Aaron was talking about.

Then, I stumbled backwards, against the wall. The world spun around me, creating doubles and triples of the people around me. I couldn't tell who was my ally, or who was my enemy. I slid down the wall, collapsing on the ground. The pain was too overwhelming. I was covered in blood, mine and Brie's...

...I couldn't stop it anymore....the darkness was too tempting...and slowly, slowly, I fell into the darkness...peace and quiet finally taking over my mind....

thats it. Thanks for reading .sorry for the delay and shortness. this was sort of a fill in chapter. Please review! what do u think is going to happen to Daphne? To Brie? And how are the others? Stay tuned to find out!
