Gonna Be Me (A Turning Red Story)

Falling-Out

Mei's POV

Later that evening, me, Xia, Miriam, Priya, Kendra, and Abby were all up on the roof of Tyler's house. Under the moonlight with 1 true love by 4★Town blasting on our radio, we were all having a mini celebration for ourselves while gobbling uneaten slices of birthday cake.

"Yeah! We did it! We are seeing 4★Town!" I squealed happily.

The six of us chomped our slices of cake and then we looked down into Tyler's garden. He was walking around quite annoyed.

"Hey, has anyone seen Mei?" Tyler was asking people and then groaned when people ignored him.

"Dang, he is working you," Priya told me.

"Ugh, what a diva!" Abby growled before shoving her cake slice in her mouth aggressively.

"But it'll all be worth it," I sighed, smiling.

The six of us lay back on the roof and looked up at the beautiful night sky as I poofed back into my human form.

"Tomorrow, we are walking into that concert girls and coming out women," I smiled.

"Literally, goosebumps," Miriam sighed.

"Hmm, what do you think Jesse smells like?" Priya asked us.

"Milk chocolate and wet rocks," Miriam responded while swooning.

That's when we heard beeping. Me and Xia pulled out our Tamagotchis from our pockets. Xia's was called Cara and mine was Robaire, Jr.

"We did it, Cara!" Xia smiled.

"It's happening, Robaire, Jr.!" I grinned at the virtual pet, "You're finally gonna meet your daddy!"

"And your hot uncles!" Abby exclaimed, causing the six of us to burst into laughter, "What? It's true!"

When we finished laughing, Miriam looked at me in the eye.

"Mei, what if you didn't do the ritual?" she suggested, "What if you kept the panda?"

"What do you mean, Miriam?" Xia asked.

"Look at your cousin! She's not the same feather-dusting, straight-A, goodie-goodie-" she compared.

"Who we never saw like, ever," Priya sighed.

"She's such a rebel now!" Kendra smiled.

"Guys, we know Mei can't be like this forever," Xia told them, my smile fading.

"Our whole family would freak!" I explained, "Especially my mom. All her hopes and dreams are pinned on me."

"We know," Kendra told us, "But you guys have really changed and we're all proud of both of you. Just don't get rid of all of it, you know?"

"Yeah!" Abby agreed, "If it weren't for you guys, none of this would be happening. You two da bomb!"

"Word, you da bomb, Mei and Xia," Priya added.

"No, you da bomb," I smiled.

"We all da bomb!" Miriam exclaimed.

The six of us started laughing and we excitedly stood up and started jumping up and down in happiness and excitement that our plan had worked! Then the six of us put our hands in for success. We all had a group hug while jumping up and down as the radio played.

"Alright, homies, next up is 4★Town. The boys are coming to Toronto on the 25th!"

When the six of us heard that, our hearts dropped.

"So get your tickets now! And check it, they'll be cranking open the SkyDome and performing under a red lunar eclipse!"

My heart sank.
