~~~ Chapter 20 : Hours Away About 4 hours later the sun had rose and inside Meg and Lightning's dorm, the girls had just awoken from their slumber. They were still a bit tired though, considering the " noise " that happened throughout the entire school at two in the morning. “ Welp...... today’s the day...... “ Lightning said, yawning and getting out of bed. “ The gala?..... or are you talking about something else? “ Meg asked, getting up as well. “ I’m talking about the gala tonight after today’s school...... “ Lightning answered as she stood up. Meg stood up as well and grabbed some clothes. “ That’s what I thought you were talking about....... but I wanted to make sure my prediction was correct. “ Meg replied, chuckling softly then she let out a small cute yawn. The blue cat opened her eyes, hearing Meg and Lightning’s voices that woke her up from her nap. She watched Lightning and Meg as they prepared their stuff for the last day of school before this year’s Academy Gala. Lightning decided to wear a casual light blue shirt, white denim shorts, some black sneakers and gold hoop earrings for school today. Meg wore a dark green blouse, black medium length skirt, some grey slip ons with lace, and a few gold earrings like Lightning but they were studs. “ Nice clothes, Meg. “ Lightning said with a smile as she put on her backpack. “ Thanks! You look nice too. “ Meg replied with a small smile as well. The two girls took hands and walked out of the dorm side by side to head to class that was starting in about fifteen minutes from now. “ I’ll tell her before the gala begins...... “ the cat thought to herself, watching as the dorm room shut, marking the moment she was all alone in the room for now. “ I’m going to the gala with my crush...... he asked me........ surprisingly. eh-heh. Are you going with anyone? “ Meg asked Lightning while walking down the halls. “ Um...... no........ I’m not going with anyone........ I..... thought you would be by my side....... “ Lightning replied. “ oh um...... I will be able to see you at the gala- but at times I wanna spend time with my date...... I hope you understand......” Meg said. “ Oh I get it! You have fun....... I’ll be okay. Besides- I have that perform to focus on. I have to get it just right so my grades will stay safe. “ Lightning said. “ Alrighty- but I will be watching you sing. I wouldn’t miss it. “ Meg replied, with a smile. Lightning smiled and nodded before letting go of Meg’s hand and walking towards her class room. Meg glanced at Lightning one last time before heading into her classroom across the hall from Lightning’s. Hours later, around 4pm class finally ended. Class was longer than usual this day because of the upcoming event that evening. Meg wanted to make some special touches to Lightning’s look, so the girls didn’t waist any time to go back up to their dorm and prepare for the gala. The blue cat revealed herself to Lightning when she arrived back in the dorm. “ GAH....... w-what........ who....... who are you?..... “ Lightning asked, a bit nervous. “ She can break the spell....... “ “ Come on, Lightning...... “ “ Just rewrite the stars..... and begin something new......“ the cat spoke in a mysterious voice. “ Rewrite the stars?........ break the spell? What? what the heck are you talking about??? and how do you know my name?? “ Lightning asked, very much confused and a bit worried. “ The power of song....... lies within your hands........ I’ve been waiting a long time to find someone with the gift of heart...... strong enough to use my power. Plus......... there needed to be a good cause to use me......... and the spell..... is the perfect test.......... you like this Ace guy right?........ “ the cat asked. “ ....... how....... did you know?...... “ Lightning asked. “ I feel the energy within you......... I believe the power of song could help you get your dream........ “ The cat said to her. “ ....... why would you want to help me? “ Lightning asked. “ Because I believe in your level of skill.......... your voice is a powerful sound........ that can show Ace how much he means to you....... you were correct about Ace being under a spell...... he is under one. And that Myla girl is actually an undercover supervillain........... my purpose is to use the power of song to bring happiness and joy across the universe and get rid of any sign of darkness........... love is the most important part in the power of song. Cause the heart is what makes the song that can show an emotion of feeling. “ she said. Lightning stood silent for a moment. “ So..... let me get this straight......... you’ll help me save Ace............ and at the same time I’ll be helping the world in a positive way? “ Lightning said. “ Exactly........ you’ll be doing a good deed- helping the people by saving them from Myla’s dad.......... and you’ll get the person who’s made for you at the same time..... “ the cat said, walking up to Lightning.-
“ alright...... so how do I use this “ power? “ “ Lightning asked. “ That song you wrote based off your love for Ace...... that is the power...... I don’t actually have any magic to give you......... yet I can guide you in the right direction to “ use “ and “ find “ the power of song........ it’s hidden deep in you. So go to the gala...... sing your heart out........ and it’ll slowly break the spell on Ace....... “ she said. “ Alright........ I’ll do it......... your right....... I do love him.......... and I need to help him from Myla....... let’s do this....... Meg...... let’s prepare for the gala- it’ll start in a few hours. “ Lightning said. “ Mhmm! “ Meg replied with a smile, walking over to Lightning with her dress and accessories.
