Vol. 11
Chapter 42
at the courtyard of St. Mark's College, Marcella was talking in her cell phone with Selina. "A fashion design studio? Fashion shows is for high-end bitches, right? I have no interest in going there."
"Then, you're not going?" Selina seemed shock by what Marcella said. Later on, Selina and Hermione left their college and head for the studio with Luna tagging along. Selina was not very happy.
"Oh, no! It's so late already." Hermione was checking her watch.
"Honestly!" Luna gave Selina a dirty look.
"I'm sorry. I can't help it if the professor felt like picking on me today!" Selina apologized.
"Well, she's right, it can't be helped." Hermione agreed. As soon as they were on the sidewalk, Marcella walked in.
"You're late!" She yelled out.
"Marcy!" The three were shock to see her.
"What have you been doing all this time?!" She asked.
"Someone was kept behind to do some studying." Luna explained not looking pleased with Selina.
"But earlier, you said you weren't interested..." Hermione brought up, Marcella giggled a little in embarrassment.
"Well, we can't just ignore it if Paris showed up there, right?!" Marcella defended herself.
"That line sounds familiar." Luna wanted to shoot herself again knowing what Marcella is up to.
"Anyway, let's hurry!" Marcella was holding a paper bag of stuff but when she swung the bag around as she turned to start walking, the bottom of the bag ripped and all of it's contents spilled out like a waterfall.
"What are you going to do with so many plastic sleeve protectors?" Luna pointed it out knowing exactly what Marcella is up to.
"Oh, no, my friends back at the college asked me to get autographs and sketches..." Marcella covered up as she picked up the mess from the ground.
"You're a liar! You want to get those autographs and sketches for yourself, don't you?!" Selina caught her red handed.
"Marcy, we're going to be in the 2nd year of college next year." Hermione mentioned.
"So?" Marcella turned around and faced Hermione.
"Nothing, that's all I wanted to say." Hermione cut the conversation but Marcella got up got to her face.
"Are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Marcella grew angry.
"No, but you are." Hermione said it with such calmness, Marcella got so confused.
Out in the country with a huge mansion surrounded by acres and acres of trees, Paris was sitting in the balcony drinking a glass of white wine but was interrupted by a annoying voice. "My! You seem quite composed." Admete walked in and stood beside him with arms crossed.
"Oh, you again." he replied.
"I wonder, is your plan going well this time?"
"Everything is proceeding nicely."
"Really? You seem extremely confident. I shall see how well you do."
At the Fashion Craze Studio, both Selina and Marcella were watching one artist sketching out a design and were going out of their minds. "Wow! What an amazing dress!" They both exclaimed.
"So, this is Danica!" Marcella mentioned. Hermione was sitting down with Kayin having or trying to have a conversation with her and Luna.
"I'm sorry for really taking you up on your offer to visit." Hermione felt like she was intruding in their work space.
"Hey, don't you think that dress will look good on me?" Selina blabbed out.
"It's okay, please make yourself at home." Kayin said to the ladies who were actually being normal.
"What?! Something must be wrong with your eyes!" Marcella responded. Boy, are they being loud, and I'm typing!
"There's something I'd like to ask you." Said Hermione.
"What did you say?! Take a good look at these legs!" Selina yelled back to Marcella. They were making such a noise.
"Go right ahead, ask me anything." Kayin was doing her best to make her guest feel comfortable.
"Has anything unusual happened here recently?" Hermione asked.
"Unusual?" Kayin was thinking of what Hermione asked. The private studio opened and Calla walked out and went quickly were Kayin was having her guests.
"They are so beautiful!" The two continue with their ranting.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP !" Calla yelled out with such nastiness. The two girls went mute. The studio was so quiet that you can here the wind pass by. Calla stood firm beside the frighten girls giving them an evil glare.
"Calla..." Said Kayin.
"Everyone is still working! Why don't you be quiet?! You're so loud, I can't stand it!" Calla made her point I think. Kayin didn't like how she was treating the girls.
"Look, we're sorry! It won't happen again!" Selina apologized. Kayin stood up and walked to Calla.
"Calla! How could you say that?! They're here because they like our work!" Kayin defended her guests.
"Bullshit! They just want autographs and sketches!" Calla admitted. The girls' self esteem went ice cold.
"That's not what these girls have in mind!" Said Kayin. The office phone rang. One of the artist answered it.
"Hello, this is Fashion Craze Studio. Yes. Please wait for a moment."
"Anyway, don't let outsiders in here!"Calla said her mind.
"Miss Calla, it's from the director." said the lady who answered the phone. Calla took the phone.
"Hello? Oh, Calla? I just saw your work over here. They're just amazing! Keep up the good work for the last dress, too!" Said Hartell
"This is perfect." Said Calla.
"What?!"
"Director, in the last walk of the fashion show, Danica will be scandalized by wearing a wardrobe malfunction!"
"What?!"
"That's the kind of thrilling entertainment that everyone want these days."
"Hey, wait a second! Hello?! Hello?!" Calla placed the receiver back on the phone without saying goodbye.
"Calla, are you serious about what you just said?" Kayin was hoping she was joking.
"Oh, I'm serious, Kayin. The director asked me to do the last dress. So, it's up to me how I want to do it."
"Calla, what's going on? You know everyone has to work together to create a full length fashion show! That's what you always used to say! 'Making outfits is about teamwork!'" Kayin panicked.
"I understand how you feel." Calla responded, Kayin smiled. "But it's just a fashion show. Teamwork is pointless!"
"Calla!" Kayin was about to break down. Marcella grew eerie of what's going on.
"I have a bad feeling about this." She whispered to Selina.
"Seriously?!" she whispered back.
"This is a waste of time!" Calla walked away. Kayin ran to her.
"Calla, where are you going?!" Calla continue walking. All the other workers started to worry. "Calla, what's wrong?!" they called out. Kayin calmed them down.
"Wait! Let me handle this!" Calla walked out the door and crossed the street. Kayin ran after her. "Calla! Calla!" The four guest followed Kayin.
"Miss Calla!" They called out. Selina looked up and saw her on the roof of the building. "She's on the roof!" They all ran up the stairs to the roof.
"Calla!" Kayin called out to her but then noticed a glow around her. "Calla."
"Kayin, you think I have no talent, don't you?" Calla asked upfront.
"No..."
"You're so arrogant, just because you have a little more talent than me! But, I'll be better than you from now on! As long as I ave this pencil!" Calla held up the possess pencil, Kayin remembered buying the pencil for them.
"That pencil..." Kayin saw the pencil glow.
"The energy level has peaked! Go! Castor! Pollux!" Paris commanded from afar. The pencil Calla was holding burst out in two beams of light wrapping around her.
"Calla!" Kayin watching this happening fainted in the arms of Hermione. The pencil went back to it's original short length. The two beams of light continue to whirl around Calla's body. After they shoot for the sky becoming stars dropping Calla's body on the ground. The two stars came back down and transformed into two Grecian soldiers looking alike to each other.
"Everyone, transform!" Demanded Luna.
"Upon the Rule of Diana, Lend Me Your Light!"
"Upon the Rule of Mercury, Lend Me Your Speed!"
"Upon the Rule of Mars, Lend Me You Rage!" Back at Paris' mansion, Admete stood along beside him and watch the battle to see if his planned work or not.
"The strongest monsters?"
"That's right. Those two monsters are like twins, bound together by a strong friendship. And that power is several levels greater than the guardian warriors!" He explained to her.
"Really?" She found it hard to believe.
"They will meet their end today."
"How dare you take advantage of fashion, which nurtures the dreams and fantasies..." Said Marcella.
"And the passion of a young woman?!" Added Hermione.
"The girls who like fashion are pissed! Under the name of Olympus, we will defeat you!" Ended Selina.
"We shall see..." Said Castor.
"If you can beat us." added Pollux.
"What?!" Selina felt offended.
"Behold!" The two showed off a bright shining ball of light between the two, like a star. "We are bound..." said Castor.
"By a strong friendship!" Said Pollux.
"In other words," Said Castor
"You cannot defeat us!" Said the two.
"Go around and around...How about this?!" Castor punched the ground sending off a huge amount of energy towards the Guardians. They managed to dodge it. Castor laughed.
"Go around one more time...And how about this?!" Pollux blew out a beam of gray powder quicksilver at them. They dodge that also. The twins laughed on.
"Did you see," Said Castor.
"Our teamwork?!" Said Pollux
"Oh, no..." Said Hermione who was on her knees.
"How come they're using the same techniques as us?" Marcella asked as she was sitting on her bum on the ground looking terrible. The twins walked up to the Guardians.
"I'll finish off you guys!" Said Castor.
"No! That's my job!" Interrupted Pollux not looking too happy of the idea.
"No, I will..."
"No! I will do it!"
"Back off!"
"No! You should back off!" At this point the Guardians were all watching the twins argue amongst themselves.
"This is the end of our friendship!" Said Castor.
"Just what I wanted!" Agreed Pollux. The bright star between them vanished. Luna in her wolf form realized.
"Now! Their teamwork of the Gemini has broken down!" She growled out.
"Okay! We'll show them what real teamwork is! Silver Moon, Watch My Aim!" Selina threw her discus towards the twins.
"Iron Fist, Collide!" Marcella pounded the ground following the discus.
"Quicksilver Haze, Surround!" Hermione completely covered the discus with mercury metal making it poisonous. The twins saw what was coming, a disk with acid and a energy force following after it.
"Oh, no! We should have valued..." Said Castor.
"Our friendship more!" Said Pollux. On impact, the twins were turned to dust blown into the wind.
"We did it!" Selina cheered. Back at Paris' mansion with Admete,
"That's impossible!" Said Paris.
"I enjoyed the show." Admete laughed at him and disappeared leaving behind petals.
"Those guardian warriors are better than I had thought!" Paris was in shock. Back at the fashion studio, Calla was back at her desk feeling tired and holding onto Kayin's hands.
"Come on. Cheer up, Calla!"
"Kayin, the truth is, those pencils..." Call tried to speak but couldn't find her voice.
"Calla, there's something I've been hiding from you."
"What?" Calla saw Kayin taking out her pencil case.
"Here."
"That's your..." Kayin opened the case and saw three very short used up pencils. "Oh!"
"I'm sorry for breaking our promise. I was frustrated because you always did such a great job, so I used these to motivate myself." Kayin felt embarrassed.
"You too?"
"I felt like I would get left behind, if I didn't do anything about it."
"But that's how I felt!"
"Say Calla...I think in the end, it wasn't wrong of us to use these pencils. Because everything we create should be fashion that doesn't disappoint the people's dreams!"
"Kayin, you're right!" Calla was about to cry.
"Then let's make a promise! Let us continue to work hard, so we never disappoint the people's dreams!" The heroes were watching them from the window outside.
"Looks like the finished Danica's Fashion Show will be something to look forward to!" Said Luna to the girls, and they agreed.
"It's a promise."
