Musical Alchemy Oneshot

Nine- New Element

(Judy and her baby swan Odette enter the castle area for the Science Exposicion, after she heard of her newfound alchemy friend entering. She can't wait to see what great invention he invent. But when she enter the expo, she didn't see him. She ask a guard of where Varian is, and he told her he's inside the palace. After she thank him for the info she went inside the castle, and what she see is unusual. Varian is wheeling a cart of dirty clothes. She walk beside him.)

Judy: Varian?

Varian: (jump and turn) (blush) O-oh! J-Judy! What are you..d-d-doing here?

Judy: Looking for you. What are you doing?

Varian: I'm doing Cass chores so she can do her guard duty.

Judy: Doing Cass chores? Shouldn't she be doing it herself instead of you? I thought you'd doing the expo.

Varian: I'm still am Jude, but I hope to be last in time. And I'm just helping her, after all she promise to my assistant for it.

Judy: Assistan- Oh! I get it. You're doing this cause you like her.

(Varian let out another blush, he should know Judy's smarter than she looks. He turn around and wheel to cart.)

Varian: I-I don't know what you're saying.

Judy: (follow him) Wy else would you help her? That's something friends do, or if they wish to impress someone. And come to think of it, isn't she a lot other than you? 23 or 20 is she?

Varian: Look, it's nothing personal Jude. She promise to be my assistant if I help her. That's all nothing is gonna change that.

Judy: (pick up a abandoned shirt) (Throw it at the cart) If you say so Varian. But good luck!

(She walk away and back to the expo. Varian stop by a doorway, turn around to watch her leave, then he hit his head against the door.)

Varian: Nice going genius. You're such a idiot for making her think that.

(A few hours later, in the crowd Judy watch the exposicion and hope to see Varian's work. She look at St. Croix, not liking the way he look at the inventors, she hope Varian get treated fairly. Then it's Varian's turn as he step out of the curtains.)

Varian: Behold! The power of alchemy!

(Then coming out is Shorty. Judy raise her brow in totally confusion, where's Cassandra? Didn't she promise to be his assistant? She turn to St. Croix diration, and see Cassandra by his side. She let out a frown, she choose her duty over Varian's. She turn to Varian as she watch him present his invention.)

Varian: I give you.. The Elemental Remogrifier. Assistant?

(Shorty left a bag of sands and pour some in it. Varian turn the wheel and pull the lever as it spin.)

Varian: The rotation causes friction, which heats the sand while the counter-centrifugal force promotes particle compression. (Pull the handle again) The end result? Fifty pounds of sand turns into.. This.

(He reach inside the machine and pull out a shiny stone, shimmer in blue shade. The crowd look amazed of this, Judy smile big of this.)

Varian: I call this new element.. Judylite.

(Judy eyes widen and she gasp softly. He named this element after her? Instead of Cassandra? She wonder why?)

(After the storm that almost hurt everyone. Judy walk to Varian, who look away with a nervous look. She put a hand on his shoulder with a smile.)

Judy: You okay?

Varian: Y-Yeah. You?

Judy: Nothing I can't handle. But...why you name your element after me? I thought you want to impress Cass.

Varian: I did, but I realize that...not only do friends help, they are always there for you in the end. You made me see that Jude.

(Judy let out a smile, one that made Varian knees feel weak. He pull out something, the element he made with beads of blue. He grab Judy's right hand and slid it on, turning out to be a bracelet. Judy pull her hand up to look at it. She smile again.)

Judy: Thank you Varian.

Varian: No problem Ju- Hmp!

(Judy gave him a hug, he stood still unsure of what to do.)

Juy: I love it. Love it so much, never gonna take it off.

(Then she place a kiss on his cheeks, making him red in the face. She pull away.)

Judy: See you tomorrow?

Varian: Hu..Ye.i..

Judy: Bye!

(She turn and run off. Varian watch with a blushing face, then his face form a lovesick look. Behind him, Cassandra let out a quiet chuckle of this.)
