My Pov
It had gotten colder now so I had to wear a different outfit. A black and white tank top was worn under a pink parka with white sleeves and accenting. A small row of dull gold buttons were on each side of the chest. A two layer, pink check skirt worn with a black belt. Tall black boots worn with an alternate black shade of tights(Look at Pretty Rhythm Sexy Stones; Pinky Rock Parka, Frill Gingham Check Skirt and Monochrome Tights & Pom-Pom Boots). I was getting ready when I heard a knock on the door. I went to the door and opened it. I expected to see Uncle Ken, but instead I saw...
"Grandma!" I exclaimed happily. I ran and hugged her.
"Talia, how are you sweetheart?" Grandma asked warmly.
"Fine!" We walked into the living room. "Would you like something to eat?" I asked.
"If it's not too much trouble. I'd like some soup." Grandma said. I cut some vegetables, meat and boiled some water. Soon I made some nice and hot soup. Grandma seemed to like. "You've gotten so good at cooking. You've changed so much."
"Well, I think it's for the best. The old me would've been totally helpless." I said. We both laughed. I happened to noticed the time. "I completely forgot! It's our annual day of service! I've gotta go!" I ate my soup and hurried out the door. "Bye Grandma!" I remembered where we were meeting and got there just in time. There were 3 groups, each made from 8 kids in the class. In my group was me, Lucas, Katie, Bear, Nate, Eddie, Shelly and Sarah. As Mr. Johnson started asking who wanted to do what, Nate began weirdly volunteering us for everything.
"I admire Nate's enthusiasm." Katie said.
"Yeah, but Nate's never acted this way." Eddie said.
"He's gone bonkers." Bear said. I thought the same thing until I saw a dark silhouette behind him.
"There's something there!" I exclaimed. We pointed our watches behind Nate and saw something. "Who's that?"
"That's the Brave Tribe Yo-kai; Blazion. He makes everyone he Inspirits to become pumped up and hardworking." Mynimo said.
"Pumped up and hardworking... Does anyone have a Yo-kai that can make someone lazy?" Lucas asked.
"Dulluma and Cutta-nah are able to do that. Eddie, Bear, let's go." I said.
"Come on out my friend. Calling; Dulluma! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!" Bear and me exclaimed.
Summoning: Tough!
Gruff stuff! Rough bluff! Red ban jacket stand! Bling Blang! Tough!
Dulluma!
"Come on out my friend. Calling; Cutta-nah! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!" Eddie exclaimed.
Summoning: Brave!
Soul shave! Flamo engrave! Flash team'a Brave!
Cutta-nah!
"Dull, Cutta-nah, could you please try to break Nate free of Balzion's influence?" I asked.
"I'll try." Dull said.
"I suppose so." Cutta-nah moped. Both of them Inspirited Nate at once.
"I don't feel like doing this anymore. I feel too lousy." Nate groaned. Perfect. Blazion then lunged toward Lucas, but I pushed him of the way.
"Talia!" Katie exclaimed. However, nothing happened.
"Nice try, Blazion, but Inspiriting doesn't work on me." I said. Blazion was pushed out of my body. Blazion was angry. "I think you need to chill out. Come on out my friend. Calling Shiver! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!"
Summoning: Charming!
Alarming! Boom Boom! Walla Walla Dance Dance! Charming!
Pupsicle!
"Shiver, cool Blazion down!" I said. Shiver used her power of ice on Blazion and brought his temperature down. After calming him down, we all befriended Blazion. The rest of the day went fine until I started feeling light-headed and dizzy.
"Talia, what's wrong?" Lucas asked.
"I don't feel good..." I mumbled. I stumbled a little and Katie helped me. She felt my forehead.
"She's burning up!" Katie exclaimed. How? I felt fine this morning.
"Talia lived in a part of the country where it never got this cold or snowed. She's not use to this climate!" Sweety said.
"I'll get Mr. Johnson." Nate said. Mr. Johnson insisted I go home. Since Lucas lived so close to me, he walked me home. We got to my house and knocked on the door. Grandma answered it.
"Talia, what's wrong?!" Grandma asked.
"She suddenly came down with a fever, so I brought her home." Lucas said.
Lucas's Pov
Talia's grandmother took her upstairs and put her to bed.
"Thank you so much Lucas for bringing Talia home. I wish I could make her my healing broth, but I don't have the special ingredient I need." the grandmother said.
"What is it? Maybe I could get it for you." I said.
"I couldn't ask that. The item I need is called the Refreshing Herb and they only grow deep on Mount Wildwood." the grandmother said. I thought for a minute. I felt I needed to get those herbs no matter what.
"I'll go get them for you." I said. I ran out the door before she could say anything. I got to Mount Wildwood and began looking everywhere. Finally, I found them. Just before I could get them, a strange Yo-kai appeared in front of me.
"I am Mad Mountain and these herbs are mine!" the Yo-kai exclaimed.
"Please I need them for a friend whose sick." I said.
"Please, like I'll fall for the sob story." Mad Mountain scoffed.
"Mad Mountain, I don't think you realize who you're talking to." Alloo said. Alloo flew up and whispered something into Mad Mountain's ear.
"Oh yeah? Prove it." Mad Mountain said. Alloo whispered something else and Mad Mountain's expression turned to panic. "Do forgive me. Here, take them." Then he disappeared.
"What'd you say?" I asked.
"Nothing important. Come on, we need to get back to Talia's." Alloo said. I hurried back to Talia's house and gave her grandmother the herbs. She made the broth for Talia and it did seem to work.
"Thank you Grandma. And thank you Lucas for getting the herbs. I hope you didn't run into any trouble." Talia said.
"Well, a Yo-kai called Mad Mountain tried to keep me from getting them, but Alloo said something to hi and he changed his mind." I said. I went back downstairs.
"Lucas, I'll never be able to thank you enough. I feel there's only 1 way to repay you. Take this medal." the grandmother said. She placed a medal in my hand. I looked at it and then at her. She smiled and then turned into a pale-skinned figure with cyan eyes. A small amount of dull, dark blue hair with gray-blue tips was visible under her cape's hood; which was ice-blue with white bubbly texture so far down. She wore the same blue kimono with a white band and gold boots. "In this form, I am called Frostina."
"You're a Yo-kai?!" I asked, shocked.
"I have been for a long time. I took a human form because I didn't want Talia to be all alone. I trust you won't tell her." Frostina said. I nodded. She changed back into her human form. I decided to stay a little while before going home. At night I stared at Frostina's medal.
"I had sensed a strange aura around her." Alloo said.
"It's gonna be hard to keep this a secret from Talia for very long." I said.
"You'll do fine. We'll check on Talia tomorrow." Alloo said. I nodded and went to sleep.
