Pick a card

Chapter 21

    After a morning of driving around with Yuvraj, and sticking cards onto those who were trying to cast magic on them, noon had come and everyone with a card had been rounded up in front of the big house of Basil, who was unhappily giving a speech about them changing there ways, while Yuvraj watched from the side smiling, lazily spinning the hat on his finger.

    After all that, Yuvraj stepped up, telling everyone about contacting the circus town, and a few other places were you had similar opportunities.

    After letting the crowd carry on with their day, Yuvraj went up to his bike, riding it up the extremely long loading ramp up to the flouting ship.  Heading towards the ramp, not looking forward to the climb, Crystal felt a hand on her shoulder.

    Turning around, she had a double whammy of Deja vu as she saw a pair of molten neon blue eye, just like Yuvraj's and Yvonne's.

    "You, you..."

    "Yeah I know, the biological mother.  Listen, I had a good view of Yuvraj there as he fell from the sky and take care of my uncle.  He already has a family in his life, and two mothers would mess things up a bit, so I would like you to pass a message, let him know I'm proud of what he did, though the spot were my tattoo was is extremely itchy."

    Right then a blur of motion landed beside them, causing a sudden dust, cloud, from which emerges Yuvraj, "You saved me from this disastrous family, we'll call it even."

    With that he headed off, Crystal and his mother watching as we went.

    "He still manages to surprise me, I don't wanna imagine meeting him if he was raised in an evil environment."

    "You think my family is evil, my husband's family was worse."

    "I'm not gonna ask."

    "Good choice."

...

    After a few days, everything was set, and they were finally leaving, and Crystal was sitting in her shared room in the RV, looking at herself in the mirror.

    Crystal, pull yourself together.  You have a crush on Yuvraj, but you need to actually tell him if it's gonna do you any good, so muster the courage, and quit being such a girl about it, this isn't a romantic comedy.

    Getting up, she made her way to the door, and pulling it open, found Yuvraj there, hand poised to knock.

    They stood there for a moment, and inside her head, Crystal was freaking out a little.

    "Crystal, are you busy?"

    "Oh no, did you need something?"

    "Yes actually, you see, I just heard on the radio, that the search for you and your sisters is still in full swing, but the trail has gone cold ever since the reports of you being seen on Hawaii."

    "Really?  What about it?"

    "That you, have to face you family soon."

    The realization hit her like a wall, the family that had raised her since her discovery on the street when she had woken up with no memory.

    "I completely forgot about them, what am I gonna tell them?"

    "I actually have a plan.  You see, I'll go get them from there home, with a note from you, keep it on the down low, then bring them to town, show them the reality of magic, and mystic creatures, then we'll introduce them to your new sisters when I bring them to meet you, over a nice lunch my mom is probably gonna make using the finest cuisines from around the world."
