"Oh my…" Motta muttered, looking at the object. "I'm sorry, sweetie, but you seemed to have failed."
Eva paled, shocked about how this could've happened. Joy covered her mouth in shock, everyone else staring at the lock or at Eva. The jade Ojamajo shook her head in disbelief. "You must let me try again! I-I can't fail! Please let me try again, I have plenty of spheres in my poran!"
"I'm sorry but the only time you can retake it is the next night."
"But-!" Eva protested before Mota and Mottamotta glared at her.
"Rule are rules; do you dare try to break another?" they said, causing Eva to back down. "Come back tomorrow," they added before closing down the booth.
-Intro-
The group headed back, Eva looking down at the ground. Everyone was wondering how could a witch like Eva, who practically knew what spell to cast and executed it perfectly, failed the first witch exam. Joy sent worried looks at Eva, but Jojo, her new fairy, kept on distracting her by flying up and messing with her. "Jojo, calm down, ok?" she laughed, trying to calm down the black fairy.
"Hey Eva?" Nanami asked, as Joy was now distracted by chasing after Jojo; Eva looked up; her face was wet from silent tears. "I-I'm sure it was just a fluke; maybe you weren't feeling well because of everything that happened today and I'm sure you'll do better tomorrow!"
Baylee nodded in agreement, Baybay nodding too. "Maybe what you need is a day off?"
"Baybay!"
"Nana!" the olive fairy nodded also. "
Heck, maybe we can all go do something this Saturday! Hey Joy!" Baylee shouted, catching both Jojo and Joy's attention. "We're taking a day off on Saturday, you in?"
"Uh, actually…" the black Ojamajo started to say.
Baylee and Eva blinked. "I thought you were new here, Kinhisho…what gives?" "Oh that's right…one of the students asked to show her around this Saturday…" Nanami groaned, her hand hitting her head.
"Who?" Eva and Baylee questioned.
"Hiro…Hiro Fukui," Joy admitted. "It happened earlier today at school and since I've been worrying about what happened after I had left you at the shop…I should've-"
"No, you had to stay or else your parents would've freaked that you didn't come home or showed up at school. I went inside to discuss what happened and we were summoned to the Luna Realm.
"Hey! Isn't tomorrow the last night to have the full moon? At least for another month…" Nanami pointed out.
"Well we have the key that would let us go anytime we want so if Eva messes up we can just-" Joy started to tell her.
"We can't," Eva sighed. Joy tilted her head with a confused look. "Because of the actions, they took the key back and are planning to give it to a…more trustworthy witch. And her apprentices…"
"…crap…" Joy muttered. "Can't this get any worse?"
"The fact that if I screw up tomorrow, I'll have to wait a month before the next exam and you guys will be ahead of me?"
"…ok besides that," Joy said as the door approached them. "Look, we need try to find out what went wrong…" She turned around with a thumbs up, "Tell me how it goes."
"JOY!" the other girls yelled at her, along with some of the fairies.
"I thought we were supposed to tell you that when you leave to go on your date?" Pipi chuckled, landing on her head.
"I-It's not a date!" the black Ojamajo protested, a slight blush appeared on her face, causing everyone to laugh.
-Commercial break-
Nanami is drawing something, JoJo and NaNa are both trying to see what is. Pipi appears from behind the two you fairies and proceeds to drag them off by their ears, while Nanami reveals that it's the title of the show that she was drawing.
-end of commercial-
It's Thursday morning, Joy and Nanami walking towards school, the colored spheres hanging on their backpacks. "Yesh, I hope that Eva gets her fairy tonight, that way we can all get to the next level…" Nanami sighed. The brunette looked over at the black haired girl who was just staring up at the sky. "What's up?"
"It's going to rain…"
"Is that a bad thing?" Nanami asked, tilting her head at her friend.
"I…should've brought a charm from the Maho Dou… " Joy just muttered, picking up the pace.
"Joy, Nanami, wait up!" Baylee's voice called from behind. "Yesh, I can't keep up with you guys if you do that."
"It's about to rain and I would like to be inside before that happens!" Joy quickly explained, breaking off to a dash.
"Joy!" Nanami called out, but Joy just kept going. "I wonder what's gotten into her…"
During class because I'm that lazy!:
Joy was paler than usual, seeing that it was already raining and Eva's seat was empty. She looked over at Baylee, wondering if she knew, but Baylee was also staring at empty desk. That ruled out Baylee knowing what Eva was doing. The black Ojamajo laid her head down, since she wasn't able to get any sleep the previous night.
Dream mode…what else is it supposed to be called:
I'm almost there and all I have to do is just go past he-" the short jade-colored said as she ran across the bridge through the down-pouring rain before slipping on the slippery wooden bridge. There was a river that was starting to flood beneath her, the water, beating against the low bridge a-
Joy jolted awake and quickly raised her hand. "May I please be excused??" she asked. The teacher wasn't given time to answer before she left the classroom. The black Ojamajo was rushing to the roof, pulling out the henshin device. Her witch outfit got drenched as she pulled it on and got on her broom. She didn't even stop to say her little catchphrase.
"JOY!" someone called from behind her, she looked back and saw Baylee and Nanami flying after her. "What's-?" Nanami started before Joy interrupted.
"We need to get to a bridge. I-It was a low one and-where are you going Baylee??" Joy asked, looking over at the teal witch flew off past her.
"I know which one you're talking about and let's find out what you're panicking about!" she yelled, adjusting her glasses and flew towards the west.
Nanami and Joy nodded to each other and flew after Baylee. "If anyone in here knew where it was, it would be Baylee," Joy thought as she flew faster.
Joy-san, will you tell us what happened once we get there?" Nanami asked, looking over with worried eyes. Joy gave a shrug as a reply as she pointed down, gasping in surprise. The other two looked down and gasped and quickly landed on the mud. "Eva-san!" Nanami called out, pressing the buttons to get the poran out. "Haihai happyhairu poran, make a wall to protect Eva-san from the water!" A stonewall appeared to shelter the girl, as she ran out to the other side.
"H-how??" Eva panted as she bended over. Nanami and Baylee just looked over at Joy, who was looking back over at the school. "G-Guys?"
"We should head back," Joy simply explained, scratching her head. The others looked at each other confused as Eva 'silently' pulled the outfit on and climbed on her broom. Nanami and Baylee got on as well, following Eva back to the school. Joy stood out there for a few more minutes before flying after her.
That night at the testing area:
"So what were you doing out there, Eva?" Baylee asked, as they walked with her towards the said area.
"Getting some last minute practice in, but when I realized the time, I was late to school," the jade Ojamajo explained as she gripped her poran tightly. "I…I think I can do this!
"Alright then…here's the retake," Motto said, adjusting her hat. "We would like for you to make a magical key…"
"That can open up…"
"The secrets one may hold…"
"In their heart."
Eva nodded and chanted, "Chimchoi chichim poran, make a key to unlocking the secrets in Joy's heart!" A key with a tag that says 'To Joy's Heart' appeared on the counter. Eva picked it up and aimed it at Joy. "Sorry Joy-chan," she apologized as she turned it.
A black shaped heart appeared in front of Joy's body with a keyhole in the middle. Motta raised a hand and snapped her fingers, disabling the spell of the key. "Excellent job; and don't worry, as long as you see the heart with the keyhole, the item works."
"Your fairy," the other appeared with a jaded glass ball and handed it to Eva.
Everyone gasped in awe as a small fairy appeared and flew around Eva. "TiTi! TiTi!" it chanted, as the Ojamajos gave Eva a tackle-ish hug in delight that they had all past the first exam.
