Astro and Wonderman Book 6 (Book version): Life and death

The best present I could ever receive

(Vanth's point of view)  

"It's our time to get back" a couple of shadows said. They walked in and saw our kids asleep. It had been a couple of months and we'd gotten married and had three kids. Shara's mom and dad wasn't particularly happy about the fact that we had kids but as long as we took responsibility for the kids they were fine with it. The kids were all girls and their names were Astro, Starlight and Rainbow.

Astro had long brown hair and green eyes and her favorite color tended to be green and she loved dresses so she tended to wear green dresses a lot.

Starlight had short brown hair and wore a lot of blue clothes. She didn't like dresses much so she usually wore a t-shirt and blue jeans. Though, she changed the jeans to shorts when she went to bed though.

Rainbow has long rainbow colored hair and loved rainbows so she had a t-shirt with a rainbow in it and wore a rainbow skirt a lot of the time.

The shadows went into our room though and went into my dream.

I was having a dream of hanging out with the kids and Shara when dark clouds came. When they arrived a couple of my shadow friends came to me and said "Your the baddest of the bad. It's such a shame you have to be like this. Don't you miss it. Your thirst for power. Besides, you don't deserve to be with them. You haven't even done anything worthy to get her. All you've done is nothing but evil"

His sister helped chime in and then I felt a sort of cold breeze all of a sudden. I was still mostly asleep though.

"Time to put an end to this goody two shoe wizard" Falisha smiled. Then she put a spell on me to where I couldn't wake up. With her aid the shadows kept whispering dark thoughts into my ear until I gave in. After that nothing would ever be the same.

(11 earth years)

(Lulu's point of view)

"Hey, wait up Aston and Richard" I laughed.

It had been 11 years since Astro and Wonderman had been home. I was still very depressed at times. Mom was still only going out when she needed to. I tried being there for her but it was hard. It was hard because she always seemed to shut everyone out there days.

That and everyone thought I was a little weird. So I usually stuck to myself a whole lot.

Rosie and Yuval had actually had a couple of kids while Astro, Wonderman and the others were gone. There names were Aston and Richard. Aston was a girl with long brown hair but she always wanted to have it out up into ponytails. And Richard was a boy. He had short red hair with a small portion of the bottom of his hair as black. He also had a green and blue eye.

Aston and Richard were both pretty impatient. Aston loved to learn about stars and different kinds of magic and was happy to lucky. She also loved reading books and was very adventurous. Richard loved sleeping though and could sleep just about anywhere and in any situation. I mean I wouldn't doubt it if a war was going on and he feel asleep. However, he had a bit of a temper problem and you could get on his nerves very easily.

Aston used card magic because she thought it was cool how the cards could tell the future. Although she had a different method for fighting with her card magic. And Richard used fire magic like his mom, Rosie.

Currently we were headed to school and they were excited for this cool school project they made and was wanting to show it off to the class.

They could run really fast though and it was hard to keep up.

Richard sighed and said "Why'd we have to bring slow like with us?"

Then Aston gave Richard a look and said "Could you at least try to be nicer to her. We're like her only friends. Besides, I realize that your excited today cause of our cool school project but she doesn't run as fast as we do"

"I finally caught up with you guys. And I heard that Richard. I'm not a slow poke" I protested.

"Are you kidding! We could have been there by now already in half the time it's taking if we didn't have to...." Richard started.

"If you dare finish that sentence you will face my cakes judgement. And everyone's guilty of something. I wonder what your guilty of my brother" Aston said.

"Not the cake's judgement. Anything but that" Richard said then.

"What's the cakes judgement?" I asked.

"Trust me. You don't wanna know" Aston and Richard said at the same time.

Then they glared at each other and looked away. To this I started laughing a little bit.

"What's so funny?" Richard asked clearly annoyed. I

"It's just you remind me of the times I was with Loki and Pixie. They were brother and sister too and they always had trouble admitting they got along. I wish you could have met them" I smiled. Then my smile faded as the sadness came over me from missing them. It was rare when I smiled and when I did it usually didn't last long because there were so many memories.

Aston and Richard looked at me sympathetically then and Richard put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry about calling you a slow poke. Besides, it wouldn't be nearly as fun without you with us" Richard smiled.

"Yeah, and I'm sure a day will come when your not alone anymore and you'll have lots and lots of friends" Aston said.

"Thanks guys. Anyways, come on. We got a school project to present" I fake smiled.

Aston and Richard smiled a little too. They knew it was a fake s mile too but that there also wasn't much they could do about it. This was they knew that the one thing I wanted I couldn't have at the moment. However, they were a always there for me and for right now that was good enough.

So we raced to the school together and we got a great grade on our project and we had formed a team of best friends as we grew up together. We had been childhood friends and stayed that way. 6 years later I was 17. I had long red hair and blue eyes. I put my hair up in the back and I wore a small black sleeveless shirt with a coat to go over it. I also wore long black jeans and black high heels.

Aston and Richard still had the same color hair.

Aston had recently gotten into the color pink and wore a small pink dress.

Richard wore random t-shirts and a pair of blue jeans and black shoes.

Together these days we were known as the excelling trio because we all three practically excelled at everything we did. We all worked hard together to make sure we each got out job done. Sometimes we were called the trouble making trio because we got into trouble occasionally just for fun. We didn't d o it too often though. Later that day on my 17th birthday I would have the best present I could have ever received.
