Nightmares, and Heather's Promise
At the end of the day, Blueberry runs home and knocks
on Mint's door, like she promised. Mint runs down and opens the door.
Mint sees Blueberry looking really happy. Mint leads Blueberry into Mint's
bedroom and they sit down on Mint's bunk-beds.
"Why are you happy? I thought you were really upset,
about your shirt, I mean," Mint says, confused.
"Because I got my own back on Devil and Danté earlier," says Blueberry
joyously.
"How? What did you do?" Mint asks, curiously.
"Well…Devil came over and said, 'If I take 1 Shoyru, and multiply by
a thousand bruises, how many bruises does that Shoyru have?' so I said,
'You better shut up, or something bad might happen to you'. He growled
at me and then called me 'Midget'"
"You're not that small…" Mint says. "You're bigger than me."
"Yeah. Anyway, I growled and I said, 'I warned you.'. Then I used my
only Ability against him, Flash. He then staggered around, tripped over
a chair, fell on to Miss April's desk, knocked her stuff on the floor.
Miss April then gave him detention and made him stand in the corner for
the rest of the lesson. He was guarded by Miss April's Robo-Poogle, so
he could not get away."
"Cool…guarded by a Robo-Poogle!" Mint then realises what Blueberry said.
"YOU HAVE AN ABILITY?!" Mint yells excited. "How did you get it?"
"My owner found a Faerie that was trapped in a jar in a bush and I let
it free and then it granted me the ability," Blueberry says happily.
"I wish I could have an ability…" Mint says sadly. Heather comes into
Mint's bedroom.
"Mint! It's dinnertime. Since it's Friday, Blueberry can sleep over if
you want," Heather says. Mint looks at Blueberry and Blueberry looks back.
"Yeah! SLEEPOVER!!!" They both yell. They all giggle.
"Mint! Blueberry! I have made you some Pizza. Is that
OK?" Heather asks.
"Yeah. That is fine," says Mint happily.
Heather, Mint, and Blueberry come downstairs, go into the kitchen, where
the delicious smell of Pizza is coming from. Heather gets it out of the
oven and splits the Pizza into three equal parts. Heather lays one of
the Pizza slices on Mint's plate and one of them on Blueberry's plate.
She lays the remaining slice on her own place and she picks it up and
starts eating it. Blueberry and Mint do the same. Then they suddenly burst
out laughing, spraying food everywhere.
"What's wrong?" Heather asks.
"We are just thinking of something Blueberry did today," Mint says, stopping
her giggles.
"Served him right though…" Blueberry says.
"Served who right?" Heather asks, starting to think that they were being
bad girls at school.
"Never mind," Mint says quickly.
After dinner, Mint and Blueberry fly back upstairs and they go back into
Mint's bedroom. Blueberry notices that Mint looks unhappy.
"Mint. Your fur is growing back and that scar and those bruises are going
to go away after a few days," says Blueberry, hoping that that will cheer
up Mint.
"Yeah, I guess so…" Mint says.
They both were on their sides on the bunk-beds and eventually doze off
to sleep.
In the night, Mint and Blueberry start to toss and turn in their sleep.
They are both dreaming the same dream. Devil and Danté are both chasing
after them. Devil and Danté are getting closer and closer. Then just as
Devil and Danté are about to catch them, Mint and Blueberry both wake
up, scared, shaking, crying, and in a cold sweat. They look at each other.
"Did you have the same dream?" Mint asks scared.
"Devil and Danté?" Blueberry asks. Mint nods. "Yeah. I had the same dream."
Blueberry and Mint keep crying. Then Heather comes in.
"What's wrong girls?" she asks worried.
"It's Devil and Danté! They are going to destroy us!" Mint and Blueberry
both yell at the same time.
"Who are Devil and Danté?" Heather asks.
"Two twin red Grarrls in our class at school," Mint says. "They
ripped up Blueberry's Gormball shirt that was signed by the Fire Faerie
and the Faerie Queen," says Mint.
"Did you do anything to provoke them?" Heather asks, worried.
"No! We were just practising our throws in the Gym like Miss April told
us to do," Blueberry says.
"Look. I can teach you both how to fight without abilities, if you want?"
Heather offers kindly. Mint and Blueberry look at each other and grin.
"We'd be able to get out own back good!" Blueberry says.
"We'll start in the morning. But now you can go back to bed! I'm tired!"
says Heather.
"OK," says Blueberry.
"Watch out Devil. Watch out Danté. We said we'll get you back. And when
we do...you'll be no more..." Mint growls.
