Chapter 3
Love at first sight
California, night-time
Bella's pov
I was in shock. It was all my fault. I didn't let my Kwami explain, so I didn't know how to use my powers properly at that time. I really hoped Panzie wasn't mad at me. He didn't seem mad when we talked, just worried. I had to fix it for the world.
''Bearzy, are you there? I can't handle them alone! They are millions!''
''Yes.. I am here. I will be honest with you.''
Aaron's pov
I didn't know what she meant by that. Be honest with what?
''I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!'' said Bearzy.
''It's alright! We will find a plan together!''
Brrrrr, brrrrrr. Then the connection was lost. I didn't have time to tell her where to meet. We had to find each other. There were a lot of clones, but their powers still didn't work on me. They grabbed me since they were big, then threw me far far away. I couldn't move. I was in pain. I think my arms were bleeding, but I was dizzy, so I couldn't really see. When Heartless (villain's name) was about to hit me, Bearzy appeared out of nowhere and saved my life. I realized she was holding a sword. Maybe it was her Bearizman? She was so pretty. That was the first time I realized how pretty she is. She took the possessed object and broke it. The Evil butterfly popped up, and she made it look normal again.
''Are you okay?''
''I have to be okay. We have to defeat them.''
We tried all we could to defeat them but we were 2 and they were millions. Bearzy was very talented because she managed to free 5 evil butterflies in 2 minutes. I helped her do that, but I'll let her get the admiration afterwards. I couldn't stand people looking at me and taking photos. Plus, they were annoying. I was an actor in my free time. My dad was very strict and made me do a lot of things when I was only 17. The wedding was going to be after I turn 18. I was curious how old Bearzy was. About the wedding… I actually didn't love the bride. My father insisted that I marry Emma because her parents were even richer than us, and WE ARE LIVING IN A MANSION. On the other hand, she was obsessed with me. She wouldn't leave me alone. We were defeating clones when we realized they weren't millions. Just 30 or so. We were so happy. Bearzy kept all the butterflies in the kit. She said she will free them all at once. When she was about to free them, we saw it was only one Heartless left. She was bigger than the others. I think she was the original one. Suddenly, Bearzy's ring started beeping. She was about to detransform! I couldn't do it alone! I was still injured.
''Bearzy! You are about to detransform! She can't see your identity! If she sees your identity, the bad guy will see it too and come to your house.''
''I will go feed my Kwami! You can do it!''
Then, she left. I was alone with Heartless. At least her powers didn't work on me. Heartless tried using her powers one more time, but of course it didn't work. I floated her up and I only had 15 seconds to get the Evil butterfly. In the last second I grabbed the evil object and broke it. Where was Bearzy?! She had to get the butterfly! I followed the butterfly because I had to know where it was going, but then it turned white again. BY ITSELF? But.. how? Maybe the bad guy could reverse his powers if he wanted? I had to tell Bearzy. When she came back, she started yelling at me for no reason.
''Why did you let the butterfly go?! Are you dumb? Now there will be more clones!This is all your fault!''
I couldn't believe what she said. She didn't even let me explain. She just started yelling.
''If you let me explain maybe you wouldn't be making me dumb?''
''….''
''The butterfly turned white all by itself!''
''But how?!''
''I don't know.''
''I am sorry I yelled at you. I hope you can forgive me. ''
''It's okay, I guess.''
''Partners…''
''What?"
''Complete the phrase! Partners..''
''Forever?"
''Yess.''
''I have already freed all the butterflies. I guess we're done here.'' Said Bearzy, somehow excited.
''Wait! Don't leave! I have to ask you a question!''
''Go ahead!''
''Do you believe in love at first sight?''
''What kind of question is that! Of course not! That's a lie. Why?''
''Oh.. just asking.''
When I looked, she was already gone. How did she not believe? Love at first sight is real! I even experienced it myself!
Bella's pov
When I got home I kept wondering why Panzie asked me if I believe in love at first sight? I knew I told him that I don't… but as I thought more about it, I actually did believe. Why? Because I experienced it too! Aaron was nice and handsome. I wanted to know him better though. I was so excited for the next day. Maybe I will get to talk more to Aaron! I really hope there isn't going to be a villain. I want a day off! About the villains.. who was causing this? Who was the bad guy behind all these attacks? I was sure he had powers like us. What if a villain comes overnight and I don't hear? I had to be sure ! Sadly I couldn't contact Panzie if he was detransformed. I could try. I transformed and called. Suddenly, he answered.
''Bearzy? Why are you calling me? Did anything happen?''
''Noo. I just wanted to go look if there are any threats outside. Even thieves! I am stressed. Are you coming? We can meet at nine o'clock''
Aaron's pov
I couldn't believe it. Was this some kind of date? I really hoped it was. She was pretty, talented, forgave easily, had a kind side, but she was harsh if she didn't know you well. She is nicer now. I am starting to really like her.
''Panzie, are you there?''
''Ohh! Yes! I would like to come.''
''Cool! See you on Flowers Street.''
''Okay.''
I was about to leave when I heard footsteps. I instantly detransformed. It was my dad. Ughh! He was going to yell at me again! ''You are not doing that you are not doing this.'' I hate when he says that!
''Hello, son.''
And I forgot to mention, he doesn't call me by my name! He always calls me son!
''Yes?''
''Go to sleep. It's nine am already! Did you shower, brush your teeth? YOU AREN'T EVEN IN YOUR PYJAMAS? What did you do all this time?!''
''I had a lot of homework. Now please leave me alone.''
''I will leave you with your assistant. Sophie, come upstairs!''
GREAT! Now I will for sure miss my 'date' with Bearzy! This was a huge opportunity! I will miss it!
''Hello Aaron! Nice to see you. Your father told me to watch while you are doing your night routine.''
Sophie was like a mum to me. My mum passed away 10 years ago, when I was 7. I miss her so much. Sophie is nicer than my dad, but she obeys him. I can't blame her though. She would lose her job if she didn't.
''Ok. I will go shower.''
''Then I will wait here''
I didn't even realise my father had left. Finally. I was crying inside because Bearzy was going to think that I am a liar and that I tricked her or something. I finally finished my night routine and I lay in bed. Sophie usually stayed in my room until she was 100 percent sure I was asleep. I tried tricking her a lot of times, but she just knew when I was lying. I fell asleep on a wet pillow because of the tears.
Bearzy's pov
When I got there, Panzie wasn't there. I was surprised because I was 10 minutes late. I have been waiting there for 30 minutes and he still didn't come. I was so mad at him! How could he be so childish? Fool me, really?! I gave up and went looking for any threat alone. I didn't find one. Now I could sleep well knowing that the town is safe. I was still mad at Panzie for making me wait for 30 minutes. He could have simply said that he doesn't want to come or that he's busy! But noooo. He had to trick me. I went home. I changed into my pyjamas and went straight to sleep. I was tired after a day like this. I was lucky my mum went on a work trip and I was alone for a week. I was 17, I could handle it. I am excited to see Aaron tomorrow.s
