Welcome to Gaia! ::

( In response to Ai-onee sama )

Makie stepped into the library quietly. Her chocolate eyes looked around, as she took a few more baby steps into the library. Actually... Makie hasn't been to the library, so it was new to her. Today she was wearing a red summer dress with darker red straps. The bottom of the dress went to her knees and a line of light pink went across the bottom of it. Under her summer dress, she wore a light pink shirt. The neck of the shirt was ruffled and the short sleeves puffed out resembling those sleeves on a princess' dress. In her silky brown hair, there were to red ribbons in her hair, the same color as her dress. This is what she normally wore during the spring and summer.

With her pink gymnastic ribbon in her hand, Makie began to walk through the aisles of high shelves. She felt she was being enclosed by the shelves that seemed to touch the sky. Her head turned from left to right, looking at all the books around her. Actually... The little brunette, that appeared to be 6 or 7, was in fact lost, and going in and out the high and evil book shelves didn't help. She was looking for the Music Hall, but this obviously wasn't the Music Hall... Man. You'd think after a little less then a year Makie would know her way around the school. But apparently... She doesn't.

"Wh-Why are t-there s-so many books...?" Makie asked herself in a small and fragile, stopping to look around at the seemingly looming in book shelves. "E-Especially... Such books t-th-that are out of reach to people... Y-You'd think they'd... M-Make th-the shelves end at eye level..." I mean... What kind of books do they have that are in reach? Text books? Books on World War 2? Books about things that have to do with Science. Icky! With that thought in mind, the brunette took little baby steps towards a shelf.

There were a few good books. Books about dance, music, and books about musical theater. There were even books of famous plays like Romeo and Juliet. But, one book sparked her interest the most. A book about the light and darkness in one's heart. It kind of reminded Makie about what her grandma would teach her when she was younger. But... The little girl would probably never see her grandmother again... Shaking her head, and causing her semi long brown hair to fly every where, she got rid of the thought. Happy thoughts! Her birthday was coming up, so she had to be super duper happy!!! Yeah...

Now... To get that book... Well, it might not be a problem to one of those tall people, or people that are of average height, but this aroused quite a challenge for Makie. "Wahhh... Book... Come d-down..." Makie said to herself, going on the tips of her toes and trying to reach out her arm as much as she could to reach it. "Y-You can do i-it Makie..." She encouraged herself, before collapsing down into a sitting position on the floor, and banging her wrist on the edge of the shelves.

"Owwww..." Makie said rubbing her wrist. "St-Stupid book shelve... It d-did that on purpose..." The little girl rubbed her eyes quickly, to stop on coming tears, and then thought about what to do... She wanted to read it soo badly. Noo... She needed to read it... No wait... That's wrong too... Makie HAD to read that book. But question was... How would she get it? She thought for a moment, and only a moment before she sprang to her feet.

"O-Okie, I-I got it! O-On my m-mark... Ready..." Makie said as she drew back her ribbon. "... Set..." The girl said as she tightened her grip on the handle of the ribbon. "G-GO!" The girl yelled in a normal tone of voice as she flung her ribbon forward to grab the book from the shelves. But... What Makie got was...

"EEP!!!! T-The Books a-are a-attacking mee!" Her little voice cried out feebly as she ran down the aisle... Away from the books that began to fall off the shelves... She'd clean it up, but they would fall on her and bury her so she'd never be found again! That's when she came across Ai... The brunette smiled instantly. She hasn't seen Ai in a while, and was actually really happy she could finally see her friend. Oh! That reminded Makie of the Starfish Pirate event! She had to ask Ai about all her princess stories! The brunette knew Ai was angel, but she couldn't pass up a chance to ask Ai about her angel princess stories!

"A-Ai! Ai-onee s-sama!" Her little voice cried out as her little legs carried her over to her friend. "P-Princess Ai-onee sama! I-I've missed y-you!"

".. ehhh? Makieee? What are you doing in my room? Please.. give me.. five more minutes to get out of bed... "

Makie drew back. Confused at what to do. Was this library apart of Ai's room!? Oh no! This meant that she was intruding! How rude of her. Maybe she shouldn't have gone in... Or made that mess of the books. Prehaps she should leave while she still can. But then it would be rude to just leave and go when she already made a mess and started to talk to Ai. Oh no. Choices, choices. She was so confused.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry to intrude... I-I was lost... I-I didn't k-know this... Was your r-room..."

But wait... Ai said bed. Ai wasn't in a bed, she was in a chair! Oh no. Maybe Ai lost her memory! Or her sight! Maybe she can't see the difference between a bed and chair! Oh dear! Makie didn't know what to do. The little brunette looked around, her chocolate eyes wandering around the area, looking for something that would help Ai in her loss of sight or loss of memory.

".. MAKIE!"

"Eep! A-Ai! You c-can see again!" Makie cried out softly, relieved that she realized who Makie was and seemed to know where she was. It might have looked strange to one who didn't know what the brunette was thinking. But, not a lot of people paid attention to her, so it wasn't like any one would care if she said something weird and random like that. But... That was what Makie normally acted like. She wasn't stupid, but she always procrastinated and studied the night before the test, so she wasn't very organized either. So.. Her thoughts were all over the place too..

When Ai started to stutter, and almost mimicking Makie, the little girl giggled in a small voice. Silly Ai. She didn't have to cover up the fact she was an angel princess, she already knew about that. When Ai walked closer, she looked up, but then lightly embraced her friend. She was always shorter than Ai, but... Not this short. Did Makie shrink...? No one knows... Did Ai grow? Maybe. Who knows? No one knows! God knows! The Oh Holy Nose knows!

"M-M-Makie, I'm not a princess! I mean.. me? A Princess? Please, if I was a princess.. I woud be a horrible one!"

Makie paused for a moment, and put a small pale finger on her chin. Ai was a good actor, but, Makie was her friend, wh ywas she hiding things from her. She wanted to frown, but that would make her worry, so, the little girl had a neutral expression on her face... A thinking expression. Hmmm... Well, Ai was very pretty, and she was a REALLY REALLY good singer, and she had pretty little angel wings, but... She didn't have her crown, so maybe she wasn't a princess. But, Ai probably left it in her room so people wouldn't stare at her. Yeah that's it.

But still... The situation was quite strange... OH!! AI LOST HER MEMORY OF BEING A PRINCESS!!!! That's it! First she lost her memory of where her room was, and now she forgot she was a princess! Looks like it was up to Makie to make Ai remember! But how... That's the hard part since the little brunette only just recently found out about Ai being a princess. Maybe if she told a princess fairy tale to Ai, she'd remember? Hmmm...

"B-But... Ai-onee sama... L-Lydia told K-Kuri and I a-about you being a p-princess... B-But th-then she s-started t-to chase us w-when I asked w-where the.. 'Cellar' was..." Makie began to explain trying to make her friend remember. "A-And... Yeah... T-These girls claiming to b-be 'pirates' w-were... S-Saying how y-you w-were a princess... T-Tomoro was t-there to s-see you too! And... Y-Yeah..."

Makie wasn't sure if it was the best explination of why Ai was a princess... But it was the only explination of how Makie found out about Ai being a princess. Maybe... Maybe she should have really asked Ai if she wanted the brunette to be talking about this 'princess' thing in public. Not a lot of princesses like tehir privacy being invaded.

Miyu and her white kitty, Yuki, walked into the library. Miyu's head hung, as did Yuki for Yuki did as Miyu did. Miyu walked over to the librarian and asked shyly, "Excuse me, where are the healing books located?" Miyu was hoping to study up and improve upon her mediocre skills. She dreamed of being a powerful healer. Heal the physical wounds of people hoping that it would help her cure whatever it was inside of her that caused her great sadness. Miyu wanted to find something to fill whatever was missing in her life and find a friend. Yuki was all she ever had outside her family. Miyu wanted more...she wanted so much more...

Miyu turned to Zaira and smiled softly, "Thank you. I would like that very much." Miyu followed Zaira and Yuki followed closely behind. Miyu also was looking for a friend. She was excited to make this new acquiantence. She spoke as they walked, "I'm Miyu, by the way. And this is Yuki. What is your name?"

"I want to be a healer, yes. I know a little about healing, but I want to improve upon what I do know. Healing means a lot to me. Without it, I wouldn't have Yuki. Right Yuki?" Miyu turned her head and looked down at Yuki and Yuki meowed 'Yes!' "I wouldn't be anywhere without Yuki. And Yuki wouldn't be here without my healing." Miyu smiled a bit. She was happy Yuki was in her life and excited to finally be having a conversation with someone.

Miyu touched the dagger and examined it with her hands. "I was thinking the same thing, but I have yet to get the courage to do so. Besides, I am still working on improving my powers. I'm hoping, though, to be powerful. Not evil powerful, mind you, but just really good at what I do. How good are you at healing?"

"I'm not sure. Do you have any recommendations for a good start? I can heal minor wounds, but not much more than that. And ...I'm not really sure how to learn this stuff or what I should know. I am so new to this place. I've never seen so many people with powers like I have ever in my life. I was the village freak, you could say. So, please, would you mind sending me in the right direction?" Miyu sighed. She then looked at Zaira with a bit of a desparate look on her face.

"Where should I go to heal, though? I am so shy.. I cannot possibly think of randomly asking someone if I can heal them if I see them hurt!" Miyu sighed. "I'm doomed!"
