The Aqua League,Chapter 2: Powers(Narrated by Aly)

"I love you," the words echoed in my head. I still remember the look on Blake's face. I really wished I could have said something back. But that's just me now isn't it? Shy and blur. Well, if you're anything like me, welcome to my life. "HE SAID THAT!!" my best friend Kristen said with her jaw dropped. "Aw! How sweet!" My other best friend, Suzzanah said. "Look, it's just 3 words." I replied, as I felt my cheeks burning. "Aly, those were not just ANY words. He was holding your hand for crying out loud! Could you open your eyes and stop being so god-damned oblivious!" Suz said while practically jumping on her bed." Blake Chen. He just joined the swim team recently. Everyday, he goes to train with Abygail Glenns and Steve J.Rodriguez. Two of the best swimmers here at R.A. Well, they're also good at almost every other sport. Personally, I think they'd make a good couple besides the fact that Steve is already taken, ANYWAY, he trains with them everyday so sometimes I go watch him when it happened. I felt it again.Pain. A sharp pain in my chest. I was fine but Blake wasn't as he was training at that very moment in the 2 meter pool.I'm not sure if I can forgive him...even after what he told me. It happened like this...

The R.A. pool...
"Hey Kristen! I-" before I could finish my sentence, I felt that pain again."Oh god! Aly you okay?" Kristen asked. "Yeah, it wasn't as bad this time Kristen."
"BLAKE WHAT'S WRONG!" I heard someone shout.I turned around, it was Aby. Then I realised Blake was having the pain as well, except his was worse. Then I saw his head submerge underwater and Aby diving in. I raced to the poolside just in time to see Aby pulling Blake out. "He needs mouth to mouth resuscitation" Steve said. "On it!" Aby replied quickly. She was half way through when he started to cough. Aby stood back for awhile and tried again. I watched from afar. It all happened so quickly. I didn't know what to do. Then Steve brought out the strecther and him and Aby and a few other guys brought Blake to the nurses office. "Aly! What are you waiting for?!" Your Blake nearly drowned and your still standing here with that look on your face! Go you twit!" Kristen told me. I realised that, and I ran as fast as I could. When I entered Blake's room. My heart went through a shredder. There I was. I saw Blake, with Aby. Together. "Aly, this isn't what it looks like! Please!You have to understand." Blake told me."No, this is exactly what it is Blake. I never should have listened to you." I walked out,crying. "Ugh" I'm so stupid!" I kept thinking while lying on my bed."I could have just said something!" Then I heard knocking on my bedroom door. "Go away" I said."Please Aly, let us come in! We only want to help!" Kristen's voice. I got up and opened my door. As teary-eyed as I was before."You sure your alright Aly" Suz asked me with a concerned look on her face." Yeah,I'm fine.." I replied while wiping a tear. "Feel like telling us what happened?" I nodded and I started to feel the tears come in again. "Blake was to-together with Aby after sh-she saved him." I said through several sobs. "Are you sure? Did you give him a chance to explain?" Suz said, as Kristen watched. She never was the comforting type..."No, it's okay Suz. I'll get over it sooner or later. Thanks anyway but we're late for science in the physics lab now..." Oh crap, Blake's in that class as well...

Hi, this is the narrator. I'm not Aly. I'm just the writer. I'm gonna take you to the boys dorm now and see what Blake is up too....
"UGH! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID. WHAT DID I DO SO BADLY TO DESERVE THIS!!"Blake said to Ed. "Well, Blake that's easy. You nearly drowned, made your girlfriend watch you nearly drown. And in the end, she sees you together with the girl that gave you mouth to mouth resuscitation.I still don't see your point as to why you DON'T deserve this." Ed replied. "Well, gee, that helped a lot Ed" Ryan said." Give the guy a break he nearly died AND lost his girlfriend."
"Look, none of you guys are actually helping. I mean. Ed what have you told Kristen anything about your 'undying passion' for her or Ryan have you told Suzzanah how you 'really feel'? Now tell me. Have any of you guys ACTUALLY told them that you love them!" Blake said "Blake that's a little harsh don't you think?" Kevin told Blake in defense of his buddies. "Whatever. Just- scrap this whole subject. We're late for science in the physics lab."

"In the Physics Lab I sat with Kristen and Suz. I seriously needed to avoid Blake and the guys. It's only my 2nd week here and I'm already a major emotional wreck." "Aly, stay calm. It'll be OK!" Suz told me. "Uh-oh here comes he-who-must-not-be-named..." Kristen whispered. "Not helping Kristen" I told her and groaned. "Aly about before I'm really-" "Blake! Give it a rest already! And give her a break! A break from her love life! A break from YOU!" Kristen and Blake were arguing until our science teacher, Mr. Ramsey entered. I had never been so relieved to see my science teacher before. "Good morning class! I am happy to say that as a surprise-"Mr. Ramsey was cut of by my thoughts, WOAH! hold up there! When teacher's say surprise, they mean group projects. Uh-oh.
(Back where we left off...)
"-I have arranged for each of you to have a group consisting 7 people. I'll randomly pick from the name list starting with....
Alyson Noor,
Blake Chen,
Edmund Aristo,
Kevin Leong,
Kristen Stevens,
Ryan Peters,
Suzzanah Soon. As you are the first group, you may choose any available laboratory.I have given you the muscular and skeletal system.Please do you research thoroughly.

In the Biology Lab...
"Hey! Look! What's the hole right there in the pelvis?" Kevin asked fascinated with the human skeleton in the Bio.Lab. "That my dear friend," said Ed while putting his arm on Kevin's shoulder,"Is an ass" concluded Ed."Right, and we needed to know that, why?" Suz asked disgusted by them. "Its- a guy thing" Ed said while high-fiving Kevin. "Right, sure, anyway we
have to start. The project thing is due by 7th period." Kristen said being 'the leader' and all. "I say we vote on who the leader is going to be. That way, Mr. Ramsey can scold them instead of us!" Ryan concluded happily." OK, how many votes to Kristen?" Ed asked. Everyone including me put up their hands. Problem solved. "OK, since I'm leader" Kristen said in a perky voice. "I get to split you up to do separate jobs." Everyone groaned. She started assigning us jobs. Like researching on the Internet jobs, or preparing the experiment jobs or writing the report and stuff like that. And yes, she bossed us around like hell. But I'm used to it....sort of...but it didn't really help as I was already in a bad mood. Once again the arguing started. This time. I kinda sort of started it. And that was the argument that changed our lives...forever....

" Hey Blake, isn't that Abygail?" Kevin asked. It was. I saw her at the window, motioning for Blake to come out. He walked out and the next second he came back in again. "What was that all about?" Ryan asked out of curiosity. "Nothing, just something about the swim meet." He answered coolly. I was suspicious and hurt. Kristen saw me and asked again "Oh, sure Blake. Swimming, lets not talk about that ok?" "Whatever." Blake said. I could tell from the tone of his voice that he was fed up and wanted to just, stop. Then it happened. We saw this fugure at the window. Well, I think I did anyway and I just started crying. No, there wasn't a bowl of chopped onions in front of me. I just needed to let it all out. I actually thought it was Abygail again. I didn't want to think of her anymore, I just wanted to stop time, and do over everything that happened. First, it was just a tear. "Aly, you okay?" Blake whispered to me. "Yea, I'm fine it's nothing." And I walked to the other side of the lab to get a few glass tubes. Blake followed me but Kristen held on to his shirt. "Now Blake, that's a big NO-NO!" she told him. I didn't here much from Ryan and Suz, I think they were talking about something. Anyway, I don't remember much about them arguing because there was this voice, calling me, I looked around. I saw nothing. I thought it was just me hearing things since no one else heard it. I turned around and Kevin and Ed were playing with the frogs and flies. Don't ask me why. I'm 14 and I still can't figure out guys. "Can you guys JUST STOP! fooling around!" Kristen ended up shouting. "Kristen , your head is too big for you, come back down to Earth, your being all bossy again!" Blake remarked. That's when it started. Ed defended Kristen, Blake started to snap, Ryan and Suz were trying to be peacemakers but ended up making it worse. Then Kevin fell and knocked over several bottles of chemicals that exploded infront of me and started burining."Aly! Blake ran to me to shield me from the flames. There was a strange smell and purple smoke started rising. All of us were out cold. I don't remember much(I never do), but I had this weird dream, where I was floating in the middle of nowhere. It looked like hell or something cos' there were flames everywere, but then after somtimes I realised the flames were me! I was making the fire! I didn't know what it meant but when I woke up, I was kinda kinda dizzy and blur(who am I kidding? I'm always blur) I was lying on something, I didn't know what but gradually I realised I was lying on Blake, who was still unconscious and I quickly got up. Luckily no one saw. One by one the guys slowly got up. "Anyone who's dead say I" Ed asked "The I's have it, everyone is alive!". "EEEEEEK!" I heard Suz's ear-piercing scream. "I'm-in-a-totally-cute-dress!"she said. "Yup, you are..."Kevin said eyeing her and Suz slapped him.
"What are you doing sitting next to him like that?" I asked Kristen. She saw that she was sitting next to Ed, rather too close for her comfort. Then I felt warm on my hand, Blake's hand was still on top of mine. I felt the heat rushing through my face and quickly took my hand off and avoided his gaze for the sake of me being mad at him... I could see that Kristen was about to make one of 'those' remarks...But she didn't
"AAHHHHHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHA!" I heard laughter. Ryan's laughter. "Honestly Ryan, what in the bloody hell is so funny?" Ed asked. "I DON'T KNOW!! HAAAHAHA!" well, gee...very good answer Ryan...I thought. Then Suz started at me. Why the hell is she looking at me as if I killed someone? I kept thinking. "Aly, I can hear you..." I was shocked and utterly blur...again. "It's Suz Aly...I-I can hear your thoughts!"

Elements part 2: The discovery between two lives

RIIIIIIIIIIING!!

Clarabelle Woods yawned as the school bell rang. She and her friends had stayed up all night, trying to figure out what these strange powers. Or as Aby had called them, "gifts" were. Aby had demonstrated what she could do. She had all power over water. So far, Melody, Evalyn, and Clarabelle still didn't know what their powers were. And that was exactly what they were trying to figure out. Their powers.
In Topaz Gardens' palace, Taiyoo was watching over them. Watching their every move, monitoring their every thought." Sire, is now the time?" said Yuari. A member of the congregation of wise men at Topaz Gardens, and Taiyoo's advisor. "Yes my friends, it is time."
Back on Earth, the girls were having free period in the library when they were once again were transported to the great hall in Topaz Gardens. "*Groan* What happened?" Asked Melody who was lying on the floor half awake.
"Welcome girls, welcome to Topaz Gardens,I am Taiyoo and you have been appointed as Spirit Saviours of the universe, each of you, holding the power of an element...."
"*blink*what?!" said Eva in utter-shock.
"This may seem confusing a shocking but you 4 have proven to have a very close relationship with each other, please understand this. Here you go girls. A crystal tear. Each of them holds your elements in your heart. When you wear it, your powers will increase. I cannot tell you anymore. The rest has to be discovered on your own." "Wait, no! Can't you tell us if-"
Before Eva could finish her sentence she found herself back in the library, as if nothing had happened.

Then the crystals became necklaces and the girls found themselves back in the library, as if nothing happened, except that they now had discovered a bit more about their powers and their destiny. Once free period was over. They decided to have a meeting.
"OK, so we have powers, but only Aby knows what hers are! How are we going to find out ours?!" said Clara frustrated." Why do these things always happen? I just don't get it. Why me! Why us! Why! WHY!"
"Uh, Clara..."said Melody
"WHAT!!"she replied
"Turn around" Aby instructed her.She did as she was told and got the shock of her life. The once small Bonsai plant sitting on the windowsill had know looked like it hadn't been tended to for years and was overgrowing its pot. It was impatient, the same way Clara felt. She walked towards the plant and sat near it. She put her hand on top of it and closed her eyes. Focusing her energy on it and before she knew it, the plant was back to normal size. Your average everyday bonsai plant. "Well, that's 2 down...." exclaimed Eva " So it's just me and you ehi Mel?"
"Looks like Eva"sighed Melody
"Well, it's been an intellectual conversation ladies but I have a swimming class to get to." said Aby while getting her bag and room key "Ciao!" and the door slammed behind her.
"Phew! Tough getting away from them..."she thought..."This 'powers' stuff is seriously getting to me.I mean sure I made them realise it and all but it's meddling with my life. At least swimming can get things of my mind. I hope" she thought to herself. As she approached the pool she saw some people in her class warming up. Then she saw Steve. "*groan* Great, Mr. Ego is in my class, just what I need to brighten my day." Aby said to herself. She didn't tell Melody that she had known Steve before Melody and him were together. Actually, Steve and her had the same swim coach.
*TWEET* the whistle blew and she saw Steve dive in. Aby and Steve were 'okay' friends as they seemed to have one thing in common, obsession with sports, swimming in particular. As she watched Steve swimming, she saw Alyson Noor and her gang, in other words, the newbies. "That Blake guy did seem okay...nah, not my type" Aby thought. Then she saw Blake come towards her direction. "Hey, your Abygail right?""Yeah, Blake right? Call me Aby. You in this class?"
"Seems that way, hey you know a guy named Steve here?"
"Steve Rodriguez?" She replied with a cringe.
"Yeah, he was my swim buddy back in the day. Heard he was here at R.A." Aby looked directly over her shoulder and saw Steve coming towards her. "Yea Blake, Mr. Ego is just behind me."
"Hey Stevy! Log time no see man!" "Stevy?!" she thought, 'okaa-ay I'll leave you two to 'catch up.'" she said and headed to the lockers.
"Hey!Aby!" said Marissa, Aby's swim buddy since 7th grade."Marissa! Long time no see!" Aby replied ." Hey Aby, were you just talking to those two guys? I mean the seriously hot ones?" said another girl. Also Aby's swimming buddy, Lilian. "Who?The 2 guys with abs who are talking to each other? Yea Aby was talking to them. God ! It's so obvious Steve .R is crushing on you Aby!He keeps looking at you! You guys would make such a CUTE couple!!" Marissa said "If it weren't for Melody, he would be yours. IN the bag!" "Totally" added in Lilian. "Eh, guys, earth to Marissa and Lilian!! HE'S TAKEN, what's more, BY MY BEST FRIEND. Still think a relationship with him is a good idea?!?" Aby said while waving her arms in the air." Look, Aby, we may not be your closest friends, but we know that he's probably crushing on you. "
"And probably is a -0% chance thank you, now if you don't mind, I think Coach Lynette is giving me a motion to change, and fast..."Before you know it, Aby's in the locker room and out in a flash. "What were you doing for the past 7 minutes Glenns?" "Uh, I was-"
"You were TALKING instead of TRAINING for the big swim meet!! I need you and Rodriguez to give me the gold. And you have a newcomer to train with. Blake Chen. Ah, here the comes the lad now!" "Lad?"Aby thought"What will she do next to kill my day..."
"Ah Rodriguez, I want you and Glenns here to train together from now and, Chen, train with them, they can give you some pointers on how we do it here at Rose Academy."Outside Aby was smiling, on the inside she was screaming, screaming on how her whole semester of swimming would be ruined by the thought of training with Steve and Blake. "Oh, and cut him some slack will you? The boy's new around here. That's all for now.Ah, yes and give me 20 laps before you go. Thank you" And Coach Lynette walked away."Well, looks like you guys are stuck wit me." said Blake. Aby glared at him and said."Shut up and tell us how fast you are..." "I'll do better than that. I'll show you!" replied Blake enthusiastically as he ran to the locker room to got changed. "Ugh!"Aby said after Blake ran off" My day cannot possibly get any worse than this!" "I know how you feel Aby." Steve said while shaking his head. Aby just glared at him.

Somewhere in the girls dorm...
Eva sighed. She felt uneasy. She felt insecure. She felt...lost, lost in a world of her thoughts. Thoughts about everything that has happened to her. Getting her powers, and watching her friends get their powers one by one. She really wanted to know what her's were. She longed to find out. Then she smelt somthing burning. "Melody? MELODY! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" she ran to their apartment kitchen. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I SWEAR!
"Oh yea, you didn't do aything EXCEPT SET THE KITCHEN ON FIRE!"
"STOP!" At the moment Eva uttered these words the flames died down. Eva was shocked and tried again. "Dissappear!" And the flames vanished. "Eva, wh-what did you do?!" "Melody," Eva said, a smile slowly forming across her face. "I owe you one, big time!"

Arkandran...
"Your majesty, how are the chosen ones?" asked Yuari. "They are well my friend, their first task is almost complete. Only the the guardian of Air has yet to discover herself....
