You too glad your memories have returned.
Keyla's hand flew to her mouth to keep her from laughing too loud. The Valentine's card she was reading was too funny.
"Found a good one?" Catsy asked.
"Yup this is so perfect,"The red head said.
"For your boyfriend?"
"No my friend Richardo. He's the only one who has the same sense of humour as I do."
"Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes and one of your shiny heart shaped tins. I'm going to bake him some cookies."
"Great. I'll ring you up."Catsy headed over to the cash register followed by Keyla.
"Avery's worried that we have Serious competition with that new Romance shop on 5th ave."Catsy Explained.
"Are you?"
"No we mostly sell assceorys and jewlery and make-up. We only sell this love stuff once a year. They are year round."
The Dark Mansion. Queen Hectate Sat on her throne. She peered into her looking orb.
"A store that sales romantic stuff?" The Witch Queen asked with a wicked grin."Sure thing to find the perfect Soultear. Nosferus?!"
"I am here my Queen," Nosferus approached her throne.
"Send your Beastie to this shop."She pointed at the image in her sphere with a finely manicured finger.
"Yes my Queen."He pulled out another bat shaped chip. The chip flew from his hand and out the window. Nosferus disapeard the chip flew into a crystal dolphin shaped vase and was absorbed.
The Bell rang for lunch and Laurine headed to her locker.
"Boy the school clubs are in a frenzy." Keyla approached her.
"What do you mean?"Laurine asked.
"School clubs selling flowers and balloons."
"They do that every year. Soon our lockers will have cards plasaterd to them."
"Oh yeah have you talked to Sylvia?"
"Yeah Asten doesn't remember yet."
"Oh Laurine."She put her hand on Laurine's shoulder"Well at least you have a boyfriend."
"What about Richardo?"After Laurine mentioned his name Keyla's face became as red as her hair.
"We are just friends."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"No Reason. Hey I'm hungry, lets go eat."
Laurine felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around. Ethan handed her a note.
"Laurine could you help me find a Valentine's gift for Sadie?"
"Sure."Laurine wrote back and handed him the note.
"Senorita Laurine?"The Teacher called out.
"Si,"Laurine responded.
"Que color es la esmeralda?"
"La esmeralda es verte."
"Muy bien."
"Tracy if you see Mom tell her I'm shopping."Laurine shouted as her sister hopped on the bus.
"Whatever."The fiften year old shouted back. Laurine rolled her eyes.
"Sibilings." They headed to where Ethan has his car parked. They where about to get in when they saw Keyla with her bike.
"Hey Keyla I could use your help as well." Ethan shouted."Ill strap your bike to the car."Keyla seemed satisfied with this and headed over. Ethan hefted her bike and strapped it to the back of his car.
"So what do you need my help in?" The red head asked.
"Finding the perfect valentines gift for Sadie."
Minutes Later they where in Ethan's car as they headed over t the Neo-romance shop.
"I didn't know you had a thing for Sadie."Keyla commented.
"I like her as a friend for a while but recently I like her as something more."Ethan said.
"So the mystery novel is out of the question."Says Laurine.
"As well as gamebooks." Ethan added.
"How about tickets to a basketball game?"Keyla suggested. Ethan's eyes brightened for a second but then he shook his head.
"Too expensive."He said
"You can't go wrong with flowers."Laurine suggested.
"No,not a lot of thought..same with candy."
"Jewelery is too expensive,teddy bears are too practical..."
Keyla rambled "I got it maybe they have a cute stuffed dolphin."
"Yeah she loves dolphins."Laurine agreed
"Hmmm we'll see what they have."Ethan told them as they parked.
Laurine nearly made a beeline for the indoor florist Neoromance has but remebered her commitment.
"Oh God they have love potions?" Keyla asked and laughed.
"As well as curses for those who caused broken hearts. I admit it is silly but some people believe this stuff actually exists."Ethan said. Laurine was about to comment when she saw something.
"Those boxes of the little heart candy's with messages."She reached for acouple."For my sibs."
They kept looking at the gifts when Keyla noticed Sadie looking at something in one of the aisles.
"Crud...Sadie's here."She gulped.
"Distract her."Laurine told her. Keyla ran over to where Sadie was and crashed into a girl with honey blond hair.
"Oh I'm so sorry." The other girl said
"It really was my fault."Keyla apologised and took a second glance"Merle?"
"How did you know my name?"Merle asked"Oh Now I remember yo where playing tennis at the luncheon and we helped the homeless at Thanksgiving."
"Yeah thats right."
"I have a feeling I know more about you."Merle scratched her head trying to think. Then looked into the aisle."She was also there helping the homeless."
"Yeah that's Sadie Hunter." They walked over to where Sadie stood.
"Hi Sadie,"Keyla greeted.
"Hi Keyla and...?"Sadie trailed off when she saw Merle.
"Merle Storms. We where at the Labrynth helping out the homeless last Thanksgiving."Merle said.
"Now I remember you."Said Sadie.
"What are you guys looking for?"
"Trying to find some gifts for my mother and aunt Jamie you?"Sadie asked.
"Searching for a gift for my boyfriend."Merle answered.
"Just browsing."Was Keyla's answer.
"Are you sure they're here Celest?"Orion asked as they aprroached NeoRomance.
"Yes I'm sure."Celest told him"Look there's Riley's car."Orion was about to say"So"When he noticed Keyla's bike was attached to Ethan's car.
"I guess your right."The Brown cat agreed. They both peered into the window.
"Dara?"Marcie asked her friend.
"What?"Dara asked.
"Are those cat's staring at us?"
"Naw they're just looking into the window."
"Ok. what are you going to send your mom?
"These Scented Candles. She collects them."
"Yo Ethan." Richardo Diego showed up.
"I'll leqve you two guys alone." Laurine said as she headed over to a couple by the Jewlery counter.
"Hi Felix,Hi Chrissy." Laurine greeted
"Laurine we heard you and Keyla have your memories back."Felix said.
"Yup."Laurine said with a smile."Are you guys picking up your rings?"
"Yes, Laurine I know its a bit last minute but I want you and Keyla to be bridesmaids."Chrissy said.
"We would invite the others but without their memories it may seem wierd.
'
"True."She started to head back to where the guys where when she nearly bumped into Riley green.
"Sorry Riley."Laurine apologised.
,br>"Thats ok...Laurine is it?"
"Yes." Laurine told her.
"I remember you from the park and the cafe and just last thanksgiving we where helping the Homeless."
"Yeah."Laurine nodded.
"Are you still dating what's his name?"
"Asten, Yeah thats why I'm here."She headed over to the flowers.
"May I help you?"A sales clerk asked.
"Yes I would like to purchase this." Laurine picked up a pretty floral arangement that was held in a tea pot.
"Excellent choice ma'am."They headed over to the register."Carry home or Would you like to have ti delivered?"
"Delevired please."She gave the woman the addres of Asten's apt.
"Anything on the card?"
"To Asten from your secret admirer."
Laurine finished paying for the flowers and the candy when Ethan and Richardo headed over. Ethan held a beautiful crystal vase in the shape of a dolphin.
"ooh Ethan it's beauritful," Laurine commented.
"I hope Sadie will like it,"Ethan said while the Clerk took it.
"How about if I add some flowers?"The Clerk asked.
"Your choice and we'll keep it here untill your ready to give it to your girlfriend,then on that day we will put in the flowers."
"Sounds good," Ethan said while he paid for it. When he rested his hand on it the vase glowed. It grew longer, its fins chainged to something resembling tentacles, and two wings fromed on its back. The creature resembled a snakey dragon with a dolphin's head.
"Yoou."The monster said looking at Ethan. the teenager swore under his breath.
"Get out of her."Richardo said and threw some cards at it.
Laurine ran through the store searching for Keyla.
"C'mon."She said when she finally saw the redhead."She didn't notice Merle,and Sadie.
"Why is everyon panicking?"Keyla asked
"Another batwinged monster."Laurine explained. Soon they found a private place.
"Sun Spectrum Power!"
"Andromeda Galaxy Power!"
"Kri Kri kriiii." The dolphin monster sounded its cry. Fragil objects shattered and people who haven't left yet covered their ears.
"I have to do something,"Merle said.
"Yeah," Sadie agreed."But how can we help?"
"I'm not sure," Riley said from a few feet away
"But we have to."
Stop right there."A voice called out. Everyone turned to see two young women stand back to back.
"I am the soldier of warmth and light."Lady Sun said."I am Lady Sun."
"Invited by a new age I'm the creative Lady Andromeda."Lady Andromeda announced. Lady Sun threw her Chakram at the monster but it gracefully dodged it.
"Andromeda Soundwave Shatter!" The soundwave vibrated towards the beast
"Krii krii kriiiii!" The dolphin cried. both attacks cancled each other out. The beasty then used its fluke to knock Ethan out. The mosnter then wrapped him in its tentacles and flew off.
"Doooh."Lady Sun groaned. She leaped out of the window after it Lady Andromeda followed.
"C'mon we have to follow."Merle said to Riley and Sadie.
"What coulde we do?"Sadie asked.
"I don't know but we have to follow."Merle replied and ran off.
"She's right."Riley said and ran after her.
Sadie didn't know why but she followed.
They entered an alley
"Where did they go?"Riley asked
"I think they went that way."Merle answered and pointed.
"Girls turn around."A sweet and pleasnt voice instructed. They turned around to see a grey cat with a golden spiral on it's forehead.
"Am I loosing it or did that cat just talk?"Riley asked. The others nodded. The cat walked closer to them. Three beams of light shot from her forehead and landed on the foreheads of the girls.
Memories came flooding back. of each of their frist times they transformed,of their days on the moon and finally battling the Negaverse. Their symbols shined on their heads.
The beastie dropped Ethan into Nosferus's arms.
"Good work."Nosferus told his servant and was about to sink his fangs in.
"I don't think so fangface."Lady Sun shouted.
"Take care of her."Nosferus ordered. The flying dolphin dived towards Sun.
"Sun lightdisc spin!"The monster dodged most of them but the Silver ax of Andromeda kept it from attacking.
*So there's two of them* Nosferus thought as he pulled out Ethan's Soul Tear. He was about to examine it when a Leather whip wrapped around his wrist. he looked up to see a Lady dressed in pink and purple.
"Three?" He asked in shock when a grey griffin collided in to him. He dropped the soul tear.
"Four," Lady Nebula added grabbing the tear.
"Five,"Lady Centauri finished before shooting an arrow at the beastie. The secod the arrow hit the beastie went poof,and changed back into a vase.Andromeda raced to catch it unaware that a bat shaped flat chip fell out of it and cracked. Nosferus saw that he was surrounded.
Don't worry I'll be back." He said before vanishing.
"We'll be here waiting for ya." Comet shouted back
"Where did Andromeda go?" Nebula asked while putting Ethan's soul tear back.
"She went to return something."Sun answerd.
Ethan woke up.
"I'm still on the rooftop?"He asked.
"Yes." The other's answered.
"I have to get back to NeoRomance" He said heading towards the fire escape.
Asten Wright answered the knock at the door
"Yes?" He asked of the delievery boy.
"A gift for you,"The boy handed him flowers aranged in a teapot.
"Thankyou."Asten tipped the boy and headed toward the dining room table.
"Where did you get that?" Sylvia asked.
"It was delivered,"Asten replied and checked the card."It says its from my secret admirer."
"Thats pretty cool."
