Beach Vacation
***Special***
Part 2
(brief preview of Part 1; scroll down if you just read
it ;)
Noelle
and Tsuta went on a trip to the beach with their brothers and Noelle’s grandparents. There, Noelle met Mika. She left Tsuta behind who, as luck would run,
ran into Kaigara. Mika has a pet snail,
Spirey, and a strange ring with a closed lock symbol in the center of it. The ring belonged to her deceased
mother. Mika’s a bit depressed, and
after telling Noelle about herself, she runs off, embarrassed. After getting into a fight with Tsuta,
Noelle’s foot kicks something hard in the sand.
It’s Mika’s ring.)
**********************************************************
Noelle: (looks at ring; thoughts) I know I’ve seen this before. Somewhere…
Mika: (comes running up, panicked) Noelle! Noelle!
Did you see my ring? I can’t find
it anywhere!
Noelle: (holds up ring) Yeah, Mika. I found it in the sand. (hands ring to Mika)
Mika: Oh, thank-you! Thank-you!
I don’t know what I would do without it!
Spirey: Koochee!!!!!
(Mika slips the ring on her finger)
Mika: I’m sorry about what happened before.
Noelle: Oh, that’s ok.
Mika: Really?
Noelle: (smiling) Yup! Just Tsuta…(pauses) Oh, no!
Where did Tsuta go?
(quickly looks around)
Mika: I can help you find her. That is, if you don’t mind me tagging along.
Noelle: Sure!
That would be great, Mika!
******************************************************
(Tsuta
is throwing broken shells into the ocean)
Tsuta: Stupid, Noelle! (throws another
shell)
Voice: Man, you are really jealous. (Tsuta quickly turns around to see Wakaru)
Tsuta: I am not jealous!
Wakaru: If you are not jealous, than why are you by
yourself throwing shells around instead of hanging out with Noelle and her new
friend?
Tsuta: They took off without me. That is not my fault. And then Kaigara comes up and starts
bothering me…(blushes)
oops! I’m sorry….
Wakaru: (looks up to see Kaigara building a sand
castle) That’s
ok. She is kind of…odd…
Tsuta:
(turns around) Maybe you’re right, Wakaru. I shouldn’t be here by myself. I need to give this new girl a chance.
Wakaru: (nods head) Right.
And I believe they were looking for you.
Tsuta: Really?
Noelle and Mika: Tsuta!
Tsuta: Noelle!
(smiles; runs up to join them)
Mika: We were looking everywhere for you!
Noelle: I’m sorry about what happened before…
Tsuta: That’s ok.
Wakaru: Well, Kaigara and I should be heading
back. It’s starting to get dark.
Tsuta: Thanks for your help Wakaru. (Wakaru just smiles, waves, and leaves)
Noelle: Hey, I have a great idea! How about we set up the tents on the beach
tonight? We could all camp together. And you’re more than welcome to join us, Mika.
Mika: I’ll have to ask Klora and Sharno,
but it shouldn’t be a problem.
Tsuta: (still a little jealous) Great!
Noelle: Meet us there (points to a spot in front of
their beach house) at
Mika: Ok!
*****************************************
(night time; the two boys are in one tent and the three girls
are in the other; inside the girls’ tent.
Spirey is sleeping in a corner)
Tsuta: (giggling) Do you like my flower pillow?
Mika: I have one like that, but mine’s pink. (Tsuta gives her an annoyed look)
Noelle: I just have my teddy bear. (hugs bear)
Mika: Awww! (the two girls
giggle)
Tsuta: (grumbles) Well, we’d better get to sleep now.
Noelle: (leans over Tsuta) Are you ok, Tsuta?
Tsuta: (rolls over) Yeah, yeah. I’m just kind of tired. (silence for a
moment as Noelle and Mika get in their sleeping bags)
Noelle: (whispers) Hey, Mika?
Mika: Yeah?
Noelle: Where did you find that ring?
Mika: I found it a couple months ago when I was
vacuuming. Why?
Noelle: I was just wondering.
Mika: I’m so glad you found it for me. I really don’t know what I would do without
it. Though…(sits
up looking at ring)…I wonder what this symbol means.
Noelle: Yeah, I was wondering about that, too.
Mika: It looks like a closed lock or something…
Noelle: That’s what I thought it was.
Mika: I wonder what it means… (curls up in
sleeping bag. Mika and Noelle fall
asleep)
******************************************
(later in the night.
Mika
is snoring. Tsuta, who is now up, puts
her pillow over her ears. While doing
so, Mika turns in her sleep and accidentally smacks Tsuta in the face. Tsuta shoves her hand away. Mika smacks her with her other hand. Tsuta kneels up, takes her pillow, and bangs
Mika on the head)
Tsuta: Cut that out!
Mika: (extremely startled) Aaaah!
Tsuta: Will you stop your stupid snoring! And quit slapping me in the face while you’re
at it!
Mika: (angrily) I can’t help that! It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose!
Tsuta: Want to bet?
(whacks Mika with her pillow again)
Mika: Hey!
Tsuta: (in a sarcastic, whiney voice) Oops! I can’t help that! It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose!
Mika: (whacks Tsuta with her pillow) You did that on
purpose! Mine was an accident, and you
know it!
Tsuta: So?
Mika: What’s you’re problem anyway!?
Tsuta:
I was about to ask you the same question, you big chested brat! (hits Mika hard with a pillow who quietly looks down at her
sleeping bag. Tsuta pauses)
Mika: (quietly crying) So, you think it’s great to be
me. Is that why you
are so upset. (looks
up, Tsuta can tell she really hurt Mika’s feelings) (trying to hold her
tears back) How dare you! (Mika jumps onto Tsuta. The two girls start a wrestling match. Meanwhile, Noelle, who’s
eyes are wide opened, gets up in frustration.)
Noelle: Will you two cut it out! (Mika and Tsuta freeze)
Mika: She started it!
Tsuta: No, you!
Noelle: QUIT IT!
(they stop)
I am trying to get to sleep, but I can’t when you guys are both fighting! (gets up) I’m going out. (leaves the tent;
Mika and Tsuta are both quiet)
Mika: Guess we were being kind of rude.
Tsuta: (grumbles) Yeah.
Mika: We didn’t even think of Noelle.
Tsuta: (pauses) Ok, so maybe I got a little carried
away…
Mika: And I should have warned you that I toss and
turn in my sleep. (both
girls smile at each other and fall back down on their sleeping bags)
(Meanwhile,
Noelle is outside watching and listening to the waves slap the shore. It’s still pretty dark out)
Noelle: (relaxing.
She suddenly hears a strange noise and turns around) Huh?
(Out from the shadows comes Dark Star)
What…what..what are
you doing here?
Dark Star: When I heard you were going to the beach, I
followed you here…assuming you left you’re locket and rings behind…(looks at Noelle suspiciously)
Noelle: (grits teeth) (thoughts) Darn it! I was afraid I was going to lose them if I
took them to the beach! And what would
be the chances of running into Dark Star?
(sighs) (thoughts) Bigger than I thought.
Dark Star: Well, this will make things a lot easier for
me. (raises
hands toward Noelle as he starts an attack)
Voice:
Hey, what’s going on here? (startled, Dark
Star, and Noelle, turn around to see Wakaru)
Noelle: (surprised) Wakaru?
Dark Star: This is none of your business, boy! You have no idea what kind of trouble you are
getting yourself into.
Wakaru: Leave Noelle alone.
Dark Star: Excuse me???
Wakaru: I said leave her alone! (runs toward Dark
Star)
Dark Star: Foolish boy.
(raises hands toward Wakaru)
Noelle: Wakaru!
No! (Dark Star attacks Wakaru who
flies into the air and slides into the sand)
Wakaru! (runs
toward him)
Dark Star: (stares at them) (grumbles) What a nuisance. (raises hands) To prevent this from happening again, I will
have to put everyone in this town asleep…(raises
hands. A blue glittery powder covers the
town. People who were awake quickly fall
asleep) There.
(turns to Noelle) Now, time for me to
destroy you. (raises
hands again. A Firewidow appears before
him)
Noelle: (gives a quick gasp of terror) (thoughts) There is only one thing I can do now…(stares
at Dark Star, nervously) (loudly) RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!!!!!!!! (takes off)
Dark Star: (smirks) She can run, but she cannot hide from
me.
Noelle: (running) Oh, that was stupid! I should have brought my locket and rings…(a tear falls from her eyes) Now Wakaru is hurt because of me! (turns around to see
if Dark Star is chasing her. She doesn’t
see him) Huh? (runs into the
Firewidow) Umph!
Dark Star: Did you really think you could run from
me? (steps up
to Noelle and picks her up by her shirt)
Let’s see you get out of this one.
(raises hands to do an attack. Firewidow starts glowing) Time for you to d… (a splash from the
ocean and a strange glowing causes Dark Star to stop and turn around) No, it can’t be. It can’t be!
(Noelle looks up to see a strange Jewel standing by the shore, glowing)
Noelle: What is that?
Dark Star: It’s a Spiritjewel. You’re mother sent three of them to Earth to
protect you. I was afraid of when I
would run into one of them…(the Spiritjewel
takes a step toward Dark Star who drops Noelle.
Dark Star grits his teeth as Noelle looks curiously up at the creature)
Noelle: (gets up and starts walking toward the Spiritjewel) Spiritjewel,
I am grateful for your help. (puts hand on Spiritjewel’s
muzzle. Noelle closes her eyes while the
Spiritjewel glows.
Something falls into the sand.
Noelle takes her hand off of the Spiritjewel’s
muzzle and picks up a watch)
(looking up at Spritijewel) What is this?
(she notices that the top of the watch can pop
open. When she opens it, she sees three
small rectangular buttons)
(looks up at Spritjewel again) Should I push one? (surprisingly, the Spritijewel has vanished)
Guess it doesn’t hurt. (Noelle
pushes a button. A strange glow comes
from the ring forcing Noelle to look away and shield her eyes with her
hands. When the glowing stops, Noelle
turns around to see her locket and her two rings lying in the sand. Noelle picks them up) This watch must be for
emergencies…incase I forget my locket and rings (closes watch).
Dark Star: That will make things more difficult for
me. (Noelle is a bit surprise for she
had forgotten he was still there)
Noelle: Well, that’s the whole point. (puts on her locket
and rings. Noelle transforms into Nova
and her two Butterjewels come running toward her) Now are you ready to fight?
Dark Star: Just because you transformed doesn’t mean I’m
not ready to fight. I had a backup plan.
Nova: Yeah, right.
I’ll see about that. (Dark Star’s
Firewidow starts running toward Nova. It
does a quick stop causing sand to blow in it’s
face. It then flings it’s
tail at the sand which hits Nova’s face.
Nova cries and blocks her face.
She is temporary blinded) Stardust,
Dark Star: (worried tear drop on forehead) Now that’s
embarrassing
Nova: (from the background) Come on you two!
Dark Star: Let’s try a little something
interesting. Firewidow, Flame
Attack! (The Firewidow swings it’s flames toward the sand.
The burning sand fireball hits Nova who slides into the sand. All is quiet) That was pathetic. I didn’t think beating you would be this
easy. (starts
walking toward Nova who slowly gets up)
You’re Spiritjewel wasn’t very useful after
all.
Nova: That’s what you think. (Stardust and
Dark Star: (sighs) She’s a slow learner. Firewidow, Flame Power! (as the attack
approaches Nova from behind, Nova jumps out of the way. The attack hits both of her jewels)
Nova: (angrily) If you two weren’t fighting, you
wouldn’t have been hit! (both jewels shamefully get up) (calmly) I’m sorry I had to do that, but you need to
fight Dark Star NOW and NOT each other!
(both jewels stand beside Nova)
Dark Star: One more attack, and I’ll have all of you
knocked down at once. Firewidow, Flame
Power!
Nova: Attack Power!
(she and her jewels close their eyes. A light beam departures from their foreheads
and collides into the Fire Attack. It
cuts through the attack and hits Dark Star who falls over onto his Firewidow. Dark Star gets up
panicking, his back on fire from the Firewidow.)
Dark Star: (jumping around) You may have one
this battle…OW!!!!...but it’s not over yet!
Oooooow!
(he disappears)
Nova: (jumping for joy) We did it! Yah! (notices that the Firewidow is still there) Woops.
(the Firewidow starts charging toward her, then
stops abruptly which causes sand to fly in its face again. It does a Fire Attack at the sand. Nova quickly hops onto Stardust) Attack Power! (the two jewels
start charging toward the Firewidow.
They cut right through the Fire Attack, without a scratch, and hit the
Firewidow with an intensive blow. The
Firewidow disappears)
(a bit tired) Whew. (gets off
Stardust. she
suddenly remembers Wakaru) Oh, my
gosh! Wakaru! (she gets on
Wakaru: (rubs head) What happened? (from behind the
trees, Nova is watching)
Nova: (quietly) I hope he didn’t see me. I’d better untransform
quickly (she
takes off her rings and locket and puts them in her pocket. Stardust and
Noelle: What a long night! I didn’t even get to have a good look at the
watch the Spritjewel game me. (Noelle looks at it. It’s a normal watch, a black band, light pink
cover, and two purple buttons on front.
It even has the time)
What!? (Noelle notices
that on the face of the watch is the same exact symbol of the closed lock as
the ring Mika was wearing. Suddenly,
Noelle hears rustling from the tent.
Exhausted, she quickly makes her way back to her sleeping bag)
*******************************************
(morning. Noelle and
Tsuta wake up)
Tsuta: (yawning) Hmmm?
(she looks at the empty spot where Mika had
slept)
Where’s
Mika?
Noelle: (her eyes are half closed; she is still
exhausted) (groaning) I have no idea.
******************************************
(everyone is packing up now
Noelle carries the rolled up tent and puts it in the trunk of the van)
Grandmother: Try something like that again, and you won’t
even get the couch.
Grandfather: (embarrassed) Yes, ma’am.
Noelle: (to Tsuta) It’s kind of weird that Mika would
just disappear like that.
Tsuta: Honestly, Noelle, I didn’t really like
her. She was too weird. (Kaigara and Wakaru come walking up to them)
Kaigara: (running now) Tsuta!
(she tries to hug Tsuta who shoves her aside)
Tsuta: Leave me alone! (Kaigara pulls away, shocked)
Wakaru: Are you ok, Noelle?
Noelle: I’m fine.
Why do you ask?
Wakaru: Well, um…I just wanted to make sure you were
ok. So are you guys on your way back home, too?
Noelle: Yup.
But I’m glad to be going back.
You can only take the beach for so long.
Tsuta: (grumbling) You can
say that again.
Wakaru: Well, we’d better get going, too. Let’s go, Kaigara. (Kaigara stares at Tsuta and then quietly
walks away with Wakaru)
Noelle: Did you not have a good time, Tsuta?
Tsuta: It was ok.
Hey, I’ll race you to the car! (she takes off)
Noelle: That’s not fair! You got a head start! (chases after
her) (the two
girls giggle as they run around the car.
the sun shines it’s rays across the beach)
