Mythical Spirits: Season 1

Double Double Toilet Trouble

Janeira's POV:

In the middle of science class, I had to ask Mr. Frank to use the restroom as an emergency. He accepted the question and let me go. On the way, there was an unusual smell masked by a flower scented spray. I saw Melanya and Eve applying makeup, chatting, spraying the scent, and taking bathroom selfies while I minded my own business.
After using the bathroom, I washed my hands and dried them. When I was going to get back, the two M.E.A.N. Girls members stopped me and taunted me.
Melanya started the teasing, "Hey, shortcake baby. Did you pee on your hands?"
"No, why would you know?"
"Oh wait, you're dressed up like you belong in Level 1."
"Janeira, I'll help you go potty training." Eve added.
"No thank you. I'm in Level 3, yet people see me as a toddler. What's wrong with them nowadays? Stop treating me like a baby!"
"You're throwing a temper tantrum, right? Grow up and toss your style in the trash, shortcake!" The girls laughed and applied lipglosses on themselves. I stormed out of the bathrooms, heading back to class and studying any boring science content until the bell rang.
After school, I took a city bus to discover another unusual smell that came from home. I opened the door and slowly, it was a disgusting mess inside.
   "Hello, is anyone home?" I pinched my nose, walking inside the living room. My babysitter was chasing after Flora and Fauna screaming over potty training, making me cover my eyes. What did I just see what they don't see? I never expected to come home to clean up a mess like this one before my parents will blame me.
   "Ceci? Is everything okay?" I asked my babysitter.
   "I punished your sisters. They will have no screen time and dessert for tonight." Ceci answered me, putting all of the scattered toys away after the twins napped.
   "But I can't disappoint Mom. Plus I have homework to do. Does that mean we are the ones to clean up the house?" I raised my eyebrows and extended my arms in a stern tone.
   "Sadly, yes. You're only eight years old and I'm twenty-two, yet we got responsibilities!"
   "Aw, snap!" I grabbed some cleaning supplies from the bathroom, giving Ceci some, and we both started cleaning the house.

Miele's POV:

   As I took the city bus home, I realized that there was this ridiculous smell spreading around.
   "Eww, who would've caused all of this?" I tiptoed around, finding and avoiding rolls of toilet paper and knocked over toys on the floor. The next thing I noticed was Cecilia and my sister Janeira, still cleaning everything up.
   "You were the one attempting to poop around the house? What even is wrong with you?" I accused Janeira at first.
   "It wasn't even me! Flora and Fauna did this. I just went home to find out the same thing! Are you judging the clothes I wear? Or how short I am? That's why you blamed me?"
"Shut up, JJ! You deserve better than that." Soon enough, everything was cleaned up before Mom and Dad arrived home from work. They talked with Cecilia over the messy incident, claiming the fact that the twins were the ones responsible, proving Janeira's innocence. Yet they still paid her, which kind of made me uncomfortable, but that was the best we could ever do to stabilize our family. When I entered my room to have some homework done, I was going to shower when I found out that in Flora and Fauna's bedroom, they somehow vanished.
*****************************************
Charles's POV:

   Sometime at the last minute I finished my homework, I smelled something unusual around the entire mansion. Could it even be my body? Was it a skunk villain? What literally just happened? I hurried to the shower, leaving more thoughts showering in my head. You know what, forget the odor. I hope my friends have better houses to breathe into. We will sometimes make any gross jokes whenever we believed about stuff like cooties, laughing like it wasn't even that serious. But most of us aren't really into what girls think about us since we were taught that kids will be kids. However, I can't even smell like a skunk in front of Prairina. What will she think of me? A few minutes later, I changed into a plaid button down shirt and a pair of designer jeans. Taking an odor eliminator in the bathroom, my mom tried to spray it around, making it so ineffective that the smell worsened.
"Mom, why is our mansion smelling so different?" I asked her in the worst French possible.
"It could possibly be a skunk invading our house, or Dad clogged the toilet again."
"Honey, I can still hear you from upstairs!" Dad yelled at us.
"Bleh, Dad! Since when was the last time you ruined the bathroom?" I made a disgusted face, pinching my nose.
"Charles, it was an accident!"
"Uh-huh, an 'accident'..." I backfired, running into my room. Outside of my window, two skunks sprayed the entire city with skunk spray. Taking out my sunglasses and my armor, Blaze appeared in the way.
"Who really wants to beat the smell of skunks when you got something spicy?" He raised his eyebrows and smirked.
   "As in cinnamon?" I grabbed him by his body, placing him on my desk.
   "Cinnamon? Did you say 'sin'-namon? Ahhh, Charlie's got a dirty mind! Charlie's got a dirty mind!" He was screaming and laughing at his sinful puns.
   "Blaze, listen. Nine year olds don't have dirty minds."
   "They do nowadays. Check all of your mainstream media online before you talk back to me. Now where's my pepper?"
   "Not again... it's downstairs. But it better be quick before I transform!" I outsmarted him that time after months of taking the job as a dragon themed Prince Charming. Usually, when Blaze makes a joke out of something in a conversation, I would laugh it off like there's nothing wrong. Some of his jokes may not be suitable for youngsters like me, but that's to be expected unless you have a sense of humor, in which I kinda do. Later, I gathered my school supplies to fit them all inside my backpack, finding out about Blaze coming back.
   "Did Mom and Dad see you?" I asked him quietly.
   "No, they're in a different room. Neither of them noticed me."
   "Good, they're never allowed to know my identity as Flamegon. It could ruin my job at one point if I told them."
   "Awe, Charlie! I'll make it out to you whenever I possibly can, with the modeling and the dragon life..."
   "Thanks, but I have to smell good for something tonight."
   "Ooh, is it a date with your girlfriend?"
   "No, not so fast! But on second thought, I still wanted to make her happy, but all my ideas to do so are just plain stupid. Mythical Spirits, begin the story!" Disguising as Flamegon, I flew out to do my usual training, chatting, flirting with my crush, and battling against two skunks.
"Oof, we got all of Nymphus covered up in a dumpster kind of smell... but at least that's great to keep everyone out of the way, especially you tiny wimps, so that all of the land is mine!" Darkbird was calling his motivation to threaten us. Turning to his skunks, he offered, "Stinkerbell and Smellybell, get the 'potty' started with sixteen constellions, eight of them each in your belongings. Take them down with your magical spray, and that'll stink the world away!"
"There's nothing in 'fart'-ticular that you'll pass your goal!" I fired back at Darkbird, leading to awkward stares from my teammates, then laughter bursted out from them with my cheeks blushing from embarrassment.
   "Flamegon, I never expected a pun that made 'scents'." Snow Frost cracked up.
   "'Stink' about it. It's gonna last forever starting today." Jackalope added, tapping my shoulder with her baton.
   "Is this even a pun war? I can't believe we cracked up!" Merfish claimed.
   "Skunks, now!" The two skunks continued spraying, even with all of our magic neutralizing the scent. Darkbird wouldn't even stop controlling them and left several shadows behind.
*****************************************
Janeira's POV:

   Could the skunks be my sisters? If so, I have found some evidence because I know them more than anyone else.
   "You were the one attempting to poop around the house? What even is wrong with you?"
   "It wasn't even me! Flora and Fauna did this. I just went home to find out the same thing! Are you judging the clothes I wear? Or how short I am? That's why you blamed me?"
"Shut up, JJ! You deserve better than that." I can't even bear it all. Do people want me to dress up like a teenager and grow up so fast? Maybe they're right. I should go ahead and not be that pigtailed dork in toddler's clothes.
   Several flashbacks swirled inside my head as I battled the two skunks and Darkbird, spraying my star bottle to fight the skunk spray. Somehow, my teammates noticed the clue on one of the skunks, which was toilet paper.
   "Eww, what are you going to do with all of that toilet paper?" I responded to the situation.
"Maybe roll them over the buildings into a spider web, and draw as many spiders as possible." Prairina replied cleverly, soaring her way quickly into one of the buildings.
"Alicorn, over here! The skunk spray's smelling a lot awful and we have to hide somewhere." Merfish called me over, diving into a river near a bridge.
"I'm coming over, Merfish!" I took off with my wings flapping each second, speeding up as I sprayed some more of my powder, leading to real spiders creeping onto the toilet paper web. Some of the deadliest traps, from a spiked iceberg to an extremely crazy tornado, were set up to join the fight, sucking up any skunk spray and trapping the skunks in the toilet paper web.
"We're safe now, Prairina got rid of the odor." I reminded Merfish as she got back up and her tail turned back into her legs.
"Good. But what's with all of the weird traps these guys have set up?"
"That's pretty much the point of every war we fought. We gotta go join them before time runs out!"
   "Fly up and I'll go surprise the whole trap with something."
   "Okay, as you'll say." We hastened over the spider web, feeling the wind blowing, especially the pink tornado with most of the wind. Numerous attempts on stealing Darkbird's scythe ended in success when at the last minute, I used my horn as a telescope, discovered the tornado and the scythe fell out. I flew to go snap it in half, breaking the curse completely.
   "When the darkness went away, Team Spirits, we saved the day!" The two skunks turned back into Flora and Fauna to my surprise.
   "That was only a set of twins the entire time?" Wereport overwhelmed. "I mean, they're stinking cute!"
   "Wereport, those are my friend's sisters!" I lied to my team, using my real identity as the "friend".
"Flora! Fauna! Where are you?" Several people shouted to track down my sisters.
"They're safe in our arms. These two have a moral to know." Jackalope replied.
"But they made a mess around our whole house." Mom and Dad explained.
"No matter how gross your kids are, everyone is human, even we can be gross. But as for what happened, they would have to know that actions have consequences." I told the moral, leading to applause.
"That's very thoughtful of you, Alicorn." Miele responded with pride, carrying Flora.
"Here, take your kids home." Prairina offered Fauna back to my family.
   "Thank you." Dad carried Fauna onto his body, leaving all of us in the middle of the city. The boy spirits were making more disgusting jokes for fun, pretending to make farting and burping noises. Most of the entertainment they did also involved "cooties" when we all were using our powers randomly, acting like there wasn't anything wrong with all of the games we've enjoyed until our departure back to our homes.
*****************************************
Alan's POV:

If kids think that cooties are gross, then why was all of this even a thing? Sure, these stinky baby spirits think that they could talk trash about me, but yet it stunk when I lost another battle with two skunks, especially when there was a smell of flowers, food, and other fragrances in the powers that I couldn't even stand at all. I'd rather have the whole city smell like it belonged in a dumpster than bear with happiness that could break later on. Soon, I'll do anything to satisfy any tourists with an unexpected scent!
