Coco woke up with anxiety. The history test was tomorrow and while she had
studied she just wasn't the best in that subject. She wishes she could
learn history like Mymy. She got herself ready and came downstairs for
breakfast. It was just Mymy, Mom, and herself because Maya hadn't gotten
up yet. Sometimes she worries about Maya. She spends all day in her room
and doesn't really have any friends at school. Thinking of all of this
made Coco realize she hadn't spoken to Maya all weekend.
She hurried
to finish her breakfast and went upstairs. She put her ear to Maya's door
to see if she was busy. Silence. She gave a quiet knock and a groggy "come
in" rang through the door. Coco opened the door and saw Maya half-awake in
her bed. "Come on Maya it's half past 10," she said while shaking Maya.
She was having none of it.
"Let me sleep more, I didn't get to last night" she complained. Coco began
to drag her out of bed, inconvenienced yet with a smile on her face. Maya
grabbed at her sheets trying to avoid it at all costs but Coco was much
stronger from playing rugby. Finally, Maya fell off the bed. This greatly
angered her. "Don't you know to take a hint!" She shouted. Coco was
frustrated, all she wanted to do was see her sister.
She should know there are a million other things she could be doing but
she chose to spend her time with her. Maya was too tired to understand her
perspective. Maya turned away to her bed and Coco grabbed her arm. Maya
came around hard and pushed her into the wall. Guilt rushed over Maya like
a tidal wave, but she was about to learn a new meaning of guilt.
Coco had fallen to the ground and was feeling a lump on her head.
She looked down in horror. "My necklace!" She gasped. Sure enough, her
necklace had broken into three pieces on the carpet. Maya was in shock at
what she had just done. "Coco, I'm-" "I've had it since I was 4. It was my
only memory of my old parents."
Tears began pouring down Coco's face
and Maya couldn't keep her composure long either. Coco left to tell her
Mom of what had happened. Maya curled up into a ball on the ground. She
picked up the pieces in her hand only to watch a single tear fall and
splash on to all three of them. They began to glow green. She was
compelled to hold them but they soon grew too hot and she tossed them on
the floor.
Mymy burst through the door with rage on her face. "It
w-was an accident" Maya yelped, Mymy wasn't moved. She replied with scorn
"I don't care that you didn't mean to break the necklace. You hurt Coco
and if you had-" She noticed the green splinters of crystal, which were
now hovering in the air. "What in the name of God?"
She said
mesmerized by the crystals, which were growing in size. Coco walked into
the room, her makeup was smeared around her eyes. She was awestruck by
what was in front of her, the crystals had grown to be nearly 2 feet long
each. A deep voice boomed out. "Who are you?". Coco responded, "my name is
Coco, this is Maya, and this is Mymy". "So you are thy who have come to
unlock the time amulet." It roared.
"The WHAT?" Mymy yelled. "The
time amulet!" It repeated. It spoke with a much more casual tone "Wait are
you girls not cool explorers or something. I was expecting this to sort of
being like Indiana Jones, not a fan-fiction written by a fifteen-year-old
with a spelling issue." Maya asked, "Huh?". It replied, "Nevermind, way
too meta for you anyway".
A return to seriousness was had and it
said " Since you are unaware of my legacy, I am the time amulet. At your
command I will bring back one person, one place, and one thing from the
past." Mymy went first "I know a thing! Bring back the strongest army to
ever fight!" "As you wish. You there, with the dark hair, what will you
bring back?"
Maya wasn't sure what to say, she finally gave an
answer "Traditional Japan." Mymy rolled her eyes. Coco spoke, "Well, if
I'm gonna bring back a person I should pick someone good." History was not
her strong suit "The guy who killed Hitler!" She said with innocent
enthusiasm. And with a woosh and some cool magic stuff, it was done.
