The
First Miracle at the Fall Fair
Nova:
Just relax. Maybe this will make
you stronger. (rubs jewel with a cloth. Butterjewel’s jewel starts to get hot.) Relax…no!
Butterjewel, stop! (Butterjewel
fires and sends Nova flying who smacks into Unijewel)
Tsuki:
(turns around) Nova, just what are you doing?
Nova: (slowly gets up) I’m trying to get my Butterjewel to
attack. I think she can only fight when
she’s relaxed and not under any pressure.
Tsuki: Well, that’s not good. Have you ever heard of a fight where your
opponent said “Relax.
I’m not REALLY going to hurt you, so don’t worry.” (says
this real sarcastically)
Nova:
Well, if I can at least boost up her self confidence, she will be able
to fight, no matter what! She just needs
more practice!
Tsuki:
Well then…(jumps off Unijewel)…why don’t we let
them battle?
Nova:
(shocked) What??? Can we really do that? Won’t one of them get hurt?
Tsuki:
Not really…my Unijewel knows how to control her energy.
Nova:
Energy?
Tsuki:
Yes. Where did you think your
Butterjewel was getting her power from?
Nova:
Uh…
Tsuki: Just watch…Unijewel, start an Attack
Power! (Unijewel freezes) See how she pauses to gather energy for the
attack?
Nova: She’s going to attack? Butterjewel, Attack Power!
Tsuki:
No, wait! (Butterjewel quickly
attacks which Tsuki almost dodges. Tsuki
falls. Her Unijewel, startled, also does
her attack which hits a branch that falls on Nova’s head who also collapses)
Nova: (groaning) I have a feeling this is going
to be dais vu…
Tsuki: (angrily) I didn’t want you to attack because my
Unijewel wasn’t going to hurt either of you!
Nova: (rubs head) Well, she did anyway.
Tsuki: You startled her! (gets up) Anyway,
you better get use to pain. You won’t be
having any more easy fights, so you must be ready. Remember, too, that your powers and your
Butterjewel’s powers must fight as one.
That’s another reason why my Unijewel couldn’t hurt you.
Nova: (also gets up) Tsuki, may I ask you a
couple of questions?
Tsuki: Yeah, sure.
Nova: Is Dark Star afraid of my touch?
Tsuki: Yes.
You have the magic powers and royal blood of the Twilight Star. Your touch could easily kill him. By now, he has probably come with a force
shield or some way to protect himself.
It’s odd that he didn’t think of that before…we might be in luck if he’s
really that stupid!
Nova:
Uh, thanks. Tsuki?
Tsuki:
Yeah?
Nova: Could you…could you at least tell me what
school you go to?
Tsuki: I know what you are trying to do,
Nova. No, I cannot tell you that (takes
off on Unijewel in the distance. Nova
watches her leave, puzzled)
**********************************************************
(school)
Noelle:
Come on, stupid bell. Ring
already!
Mrs. Suisho:
Did you say something, Noelle?
Noelle: (embarrassed) No, not at all!
Mrs. Suisho:
Good. Wouldn’t want to stay at
detention for another hour, do you? (a couple of the boys have their hands on their heads, still
groaning)
Noelle: (grumbling) They’re
just a bunch of babies.
Mrs. Suisho:
Excuse me?
Noelle:
Oh, it’s nothing again. (nervously laughs.
Tsuta: No problem. It’s not like there is anything else to do.
Noelle: So are you guys both going to the
fair tonight?
Tsuta: I am!
Noelle:
How about you, Kaigara?
Kaigara:
Um, maybe…
Tsuta: Oh, come on! You can hang out with us. And you won’t have to worry about your stupid
brother.
Noelle: (jokingly) Or
is it that we’re not good enough for you?
Kaigara: (guiltily laughs) Oh, no!
Noelle:
Then you’re coming. I’ll see you
guys at 6. My house. (waves) Bye! (Kaigara and Tsuta both stare at her,
surprised)
*******************************************
(Dream sequence; Nova and
a shadow are leaning against a tree.
Nova is about 10)
Shadow: Nova?
I heard your mother found someone…for you to marry.
Nova:
Yes. In the future, she wants me
to marry Yuuen, the prince of the Constil Star.
Shadow: You really don’t want to marry him,
do you?
Nova: (blushes) Of
coarse not! (looks
down) There’s someone else…I like…
Shadow: Nova, we’re just friends. There is no way someone like me could ever
marry you. Your parents wouldn’t allow
it.
Nova: (angrily) And
how do you know it was you I like? You
shouldn’t just make assumptions! (folds hands)
I’ll…I’ll make them listen to me.
I don’t want to marry Yuuen. (leans over to the
Shadow, her eyes start to glitter…)
Mother: Noelle! (…the dream sequence ends) Wake up! Your friends are here.
Noelle: Huh?
Mother: You better get going. The fair is going to be starting soon.
Noelle: Oh, right. (quickly gets up)
Thanks, Mother. Bye! (takes
off with Tsuta and Kaigara)
**********************************************
(at
the fair)
Tsuta: So what do you guys want to do first?
Noelle: How about the roller coaster?
Tsuta:
Yeah! The Monster is suppose to be one of the best! Let’s go!
Kaigara: Uh…
Tsuta: Come on, Kaigara! (starts
to pull her arm)
Noelle: You’re not scared, are you?
Kaigara:
(notices a game where she can win a stuffed unicorn) Actually, I’m going to play that game
over there. I’ll catch up with you guys
later. (takes off)
Noelle: Um…ok...
Tsuta: (yelling to her) Ok, but you’re going to miss
all the fun! (Noelle and Tsuta take off)
********************************
(all
3 are eating cotton candy and talking)
Noelle:
This is good. I haven’t had
cotton candy since I was a little girl!
Tsuta:
This is so good!
Kaigara:
Mmmm! I’m having so much
fun! I especially like this unicorn doll
I won! This is defiantly one of the best
days of my life! (all
laugh; Wakaru comes by)
Wakaru: Kaigara! (grabs unicorn doll;
Kaigara tries reaching for it) I can’t believe that you still believe this
garbage!
Kaigara: Give it back!
Wakaru:
Why can’t you understand the difference between fantasy and
reality? (Noelle sees Daraku running in
the distance; she gets suspicious) There are no such things as flying
unicorns. If you want to keep your
friends, you need to get over it. (tosses unicorn doll
at her and leaves; Kaigara is crying)
Kaigara: I hate Wakaru! Stupid brother!
Tsuta: (shakes head) He is a real jerk. (sees that Noelle
looks perplexed) Noelle? You ok?
Noelle: Huh? (turns
around) Oh, yeah. I’m fine.
Kaigara: Hey, Tsuta, want to try that water
gun game over there? Bet I can beat you!
Tsuta:
You’re on! (turns
to Noelle) Winner goes against Noelle.
See you later! (both take off)
Noelle: (thought) Good. They’re gone.
Now where did Daraku go? (she suddenly starts
hearing screams. She can see some people
lying unconsciously on the ground) (out loud) Guess that’s my cue! (runs behind a game
stand and puts on ring and locket; she transforms. When she’s done, her Butterjewel quickly
appears. Nova gets on Butterjewel who
starts galloping) Where are you, Dark Star?
Dark Star: Ah, so there you are Nova. This is going to be more interesting than
last time. I am much better prepared. (snaps fingers and three Firewidows appear) Are you ready?
Nova: We’ve been practicing, too. Give us your best shot!
Tsuki: Nova!
Nova: (turns around) Tsuki! You’re here!
Tsuki: You go heal the people. I’ll take care of the Firewidows!
Dark Star: I don’t see why you had to come to
Earth, too. (sighs)
Very well.
Firewidows, Attack Power! (the Firewidows charge at Tsuki while Dark Star turns to the
fainted people) My people! Arise!
Nova:
Butterjewel, Healing Power! (the people who are hit by Nova’s power faint again. However, the people who are still under Dark
Star’s spell place their hands on the cured who are then once again under Dark
Star’s spell) Oh, no! This isn’t working!
Tsuki: I
can’t keep up with all of these Firewidows! (gets hit)
Aaah! (falls
off Unijewel)
Nova:
Tsuki!!!!
Dark Star: (laughs evilly) Heh.
This doesn’t look too good for you, Nova. So now what are you going to do?
Nova: (Nova charges at Dark Star. Her Butterjewel hits an invisible force field
but they manage to stay in balance) Uh!
Dark Star:
I told you I was better prepared, didn’t I? You’re finished, Nova! (a bunch of people
come up to Nova and manage to pull her off her Butterjewel. Nova groans in pain. Dark Star makes his way towards the people
who are holding Nova down. He laughs
evilly, and then something suddenly hits his arm. He grabs his arm and winces in pain)
Tsuki: (in pain, Unijewel is still fighting
but growing very weak) The force field has been
broken, Nova! Try to touch him!
Nova: (still struggling to get free; tries
reaching for Dark Star. Her Butterjewel
grabs Nova by her jacket and manages to break her free from the people’s
grasp. Once she gets herself on her
Butterjewel, she starts charging toward Dark Star. Dark Star disappears along with the
Firewidows. Nova turns to Tsuki) What a
chicken. Tsuki! Are you ok?
Tsuki: (gets up painfully) I’ll be fine. Unijewel, Healing Power! (Tsuki gets her wounds healed. Nova stares at her surprised) We’ve got to heal
all these people. Let’s get to
work. Unijewel, Healing Power!
Nova: Right.
Butterjewel, Healing Power! (together, the
people are all healed)
Tsuki:
(sighs) That was close. Wonder what happened to break the force
field?
Nova:
Um…I don’t know. It just broke.
Tsuki: It
just broke? I wouldn’t think that a
force field could break that easily. That’s odd.
Person:
That’s them! They’re the ones who
saved all those people! (Nova and Tsuki
turn around to see a whole crowd of people and the media running toward
them. The media start yelling random
questions. The two start running)
Nova: Now I know what you mean! About the media!
Tsuki:
What?
Nova:
Why we can’t tell each other our true identities! (Tsuki stops; they are now far from the
crowds)
Tsuki: Nova, I lied.
Nova: You lied?
What are you talking about?
Tsuki: The reason why I can’t tell you who I
am…it’s really because…I don’t know.
Nova:
What!?
Tsuki: I just transform. I don’t know how or why or when…I just
do. I have no idea who I am when I’m not
Tsuki.
Nova: Oh,
I’m sorry, Tsuki…(Tsuki takes off. Nova watches her, then hears a “There they
are!” and then she, too, takes off in the distance)
************************************
(back
at the fair; everything’s back to normal)
Kaigara: Noelle? Where did you go?
Tsuta: Kaigara and I were about to play a game,
and then we both blacked out. We’re ok,
though.
Kaigara: I saw a real unicorn!
Tsuta: Whatever.
(bites her lip) (grumbling)
Maybe Wakaru was right…
Noelle:
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to go home.
Tsuta:
Home? (grabs
Noelle’s arm) You are not going anywhere
until I can beat you at the water gun game.
Come on! (pulls
Noelle towards the game. Kaigara
follows, giggling)
