Chapter Two

        I'm performing on stage, lights dancing around me. The music flows through me and I move on my own without a thought in the world. I see my friends and family cheering me on in the audience... Adelynn! Adelynn! Adelynn! -

        "ADELYNN!" I hear a voice screech in my ear and I bolt upright in shock. "Come on, you have to wake up! It's morning already!" Cyre tugs on my arm and helps me up to standing. "Okay, don't panic but.. you fell asleep while doing homework last night and I couldn't bring myself to wake you because you looked so peaceful and you were so tired earlier and-"

        "WHAT? I didn't finish my homework yet? No no no... I have to finish it because we have a test today and then I won't be prepared..." I sigh and mentally panic before shoving everything into my school bag and heading over to my dresser to take clean clothes out. "Hey Cyre, which jacket do you like better?" I quickly hold up a slim white jacket and a black vest. "I plan on wearing it with black leggings and a light blue shirt."

        "The black one." Cyre suggests, and Fern comes zipping out of the bathroom to nod her head in agreement. I quickly change clothes before grabbing my backpack and heading over to the stairs. "Wait!" She calls, and I stop dead in my tracks, turning around to look at her.

        "What? Did I forget something?" I look around the room as Raina comes out of the bathroom looking like a fresh new flower in the spring. "Wow, Raina, you look so fancy today!" I scan the room again, not sure what I missed on my way to get things ready.

        "You know it's only 5:45 in the morning right..." Raina trails off, clearly unhappy with how her morning has started.

        "Cyre! Why'd you wake me up so early? I don't usually get up until 6:45..." I trail off, staring Cyre down for an explanation.

        "You might meet your partner today! What if he's cute? What if you already know him? What if you DON'T already know him? OMG you get to make a new friend, I'm so excited!" Cyre keeps going on and on while Fern aggressively nods along. "Come on, let's get you ready for school!" Cyre announces, while I look at her in confusion.

        "Umm.. Cyre I am ready. All I need to do is brush my hair and -"

        "No no! You must be more presentable! You could be meeting your partner today! OMG what if he's cute?!?" Cyre flies over to me, holding my hairbrush in her wings and going on her ramble again. "Here, I'll help you do your hair while you put on some makeup!" Unable to argue, I just lazily put on the most minimal makeup I can do while Cyre brushes my hair. Deciding to leave it down again today, I turn to Raina who looks at me with approval. With her makeup and hair pulled to the side, it seems Fern was thinking the same as Cyre.

        "Umm.. there's one more thing you guys need to know..." Fern trails off, looking at Cyre.

        "Adelynn, we need to come with you to school." Cyre nervously folds her wings behind her back, looking up at me with a small smile.

         "What? No you can't, people would look at me like I'm crazy!" I say and she immediately flies over to me, stopping me from letting the retractable stairs down to the main level.

        "We have to be with you at all times, Adelynn! You never know when an akuma will overtake an innocent person and you need to be ready to help them! So I'll just make myself comfortable..." She gives me a smirk before flying into my purse and making herself comfortable in one of the inside pockets. Glancing back at Raina and Fern, I see the same thing has happened. I internally sigh as I let the stairs down, making my way to the kitchen where I find my mom baking muffins.

        "Good morning girls! I hope you slept well." She gives us each a hug and hands us a box of muffins. "Feel free to help yourselves and then give the rest of them to your friends!"
