CM series: S1- Akuya Arc

7. Tina

Ella was shocked again: the girl was very pretty!? She had light teal above-shoulder length hair with cream highlights, like Maggie's hair, and lilac coloured eyes. She had a knitted pink top with a pink jellyfish on it, an aqua pencil skirt and pink flat shoes with sashes and bows. She had the face of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.

"Sorry, did I disturb you?" she asked in her gentle voice. "N-no! Not at all!" Ella quickly replied, blushing. "shall we introduce ourselves? I'm Ella, and I'm a normal ice fairy." "Nice," the girl said. "I'm princess Tina of Cloudtale, otherwise known as Tina. Nice to meet you, Ella." Ella smiled and sat down beside Tina. "So what made you sit here all alone?" she asked. Tina's face saddened, but she wasn't scared to say it. "Cloudtale have had attackings by a reign of 'Akuyas'. So my parents are sending me and my sister Alexia to Crystilville!" she explained in a sad tone. "Why isn't Alexia here?" Ella softly asked. "The mansion didn't let her in because she is too young, so had to go in a different train to a camp school she can stay at with other kids," Tina replied. "and I don't want to be in a noisy room for this traumatic moment, so I sat here alone."

"Tina, I'm so sorry," Ella sadly said, putting her arm around Tina. "I lost my parents and my younger sister Frosty. Me and my remaining siblings had to move to Roselilly after our parents and sister disappeared." "I guess that I'm sorry now!" Tina giggled. Ella and Tina laughed and talked to each other, then the door opened. There stood Erin, Sheila, Maggie and Rita. "Who is that?" Maggie asked in a concerned way. "I mean she?" she corrected. "This is Tina, my new friend," replied Ella. "I love your outfit, Tina!" Erin complimented. "Thank you," replied Tina. "We brought all our luggage, including yours," Sheila said. "it's better we join you two and not get headaches from that 'Apples on a stick' game." The other 4 sat down in the same room and it was much more peaceful.

A few hours later, Tina had made friends with all 5 girls. "So, you're the princess of Cloudtale?" Sheila questioned. "Yup, that's me!" Tina merrily replied. "Cool!" squealed Sheila, drinking her pink milkshake. "You mentioned that you sing for a hobby?" said Rita, half interested. "Yes," Tina said back. "it's so nice I have new friends already! Back at home I never really had friends, I only had my sister and other Cloudtale girls." While Tina explained about her kingdom, Ella was daydreaming, however, it was different this time; the aura was blue and there was nobody except her." Ella, Ella.. " said a voice." Ella, it's your sister, Frosty...""Frosty!" Ella blurted out loud, then realised the other 5 heard her." You mean your missing sister Frosty?" Sheila asked.

"No, sorry, I thought I saw her, so I err.. said Frosty!" Ella replied awkwardly. "O-K?" said Rita in a confused voice. "honestly, you are the weirdest person I've ever met." "Why thank you, Rita," replied Ella smiling. Rita facepalmed. After many long hours, the train had stopped, the whistle woofing. "Where are we?" Tina asked herself. "First stop, Crystilville!" called the driver through his microphone. "Wooooo!" cheered all the other girls. "Geez, they're wild," Maggie stated. After the train transporters had removed all the luggage and given it to the right owners, the girls started heading out of the train. "C'mon slowcoaches!" one of the girls yelled. "Arriving takes a lot of time, Iris, darling," Erin replied in a posh way after walking out of the carriage. Crystilville was bright and beautiful.

"Look how immaculate the citizens dress!" Erin exclaimed, pointing at some Crystilville residents. "And the buildings are so tall!" added another girl. Everyone was so attracted to the buildings and structures that they didn't look where they were going, until they crashed into a white wall. "OOF!" the girls yelled. They stepped back and couldn't believe what they saw: three tall white buildings with millions of windows and a Klimt patterned roof attached to each other, complete with a giant vivid coloured door. They admired the monument; it was so high! The door slowly opened, and a gentleman walked out. He wore a butler suit and a delicate embroidered hankie in his breast pocket. "Gooday, women," he said in his Italian accent. "I suppose you are zi new residents of zi mansion?" "Y-yes," a girl shyly stuttered.

"Ok, come in," he replied. The girls stampeded yet again, knocking the poor butler over and piling him with bags and suitcases. Yess, thought Ella. One more step and my dream will become a reality...
