Calebéo & Corneliette
Toutes les histoires, commencent pareil
Rien de nouveau sous la lune
Pour qu'une étoile s'éteigne
Il faut qu'une autre s'allume
Bien sûr, la pluie et le hasard
La nuit et les guitares
On peut y croire
Chacun ses mots, et ses regards
Toutes les histoires ont leur histoire
N'écoutez pas ce qu'on vous raconte
L'amour, y a que ça qui compte
On s'aimera tojour,
On s'aimera si fort
Et puis, doucement, sans le vouloir
On passe du cœur, à la mémoire
Toutes les histoires, commencent pareil
Rien de nouveau sous la lune
Voici celle, de Roméo et Juliette.
Chapter 1
"Oh, finally, freedom! Congratulations, girls, we really did it!" Will closed her exercise book and stood up.
The five girlfriends were sitting round the table altogether in one room and doing their homework. They decided to meet at Cornelia's and help each other with geometry, which was probably their weakest subject.
«Yeah, we had to work really hard on this homework» Taranee pointed out «I'm glad it's over finally»
«You know what, » Hay Lin said «We should have put Caleb on this. He must have been studying geometry in Meridian»
«Aha, we should make him more useful. At least, his due is to protect us and it doesn't matter from whom: Meridian monsters or our teachers and terrible homework» Irma said putting her books away «Right I say, Corny? »
There was no answer. Cornelia even didn't notice that Irma called her the name she disliked greatly. Last five minuets she didn't say a word and it seemed that she wasn't listening to her friends' conversation. She was daydreaming and her thoughts were very far away from the place where she was.
Everybody looked surprised. «Cornelia! » Hay Lin took Cornelia by her shoulders and started to shake her.
«Ah, what? » Cornelia was back on Earth again. She seemed to be surprised. It just looked as if Corny was sleeping and Hay Lin woke her up.
«Is anything wrong? » Will looked worried.
«No, why do you think anything goes wrong? » the blonde looked at her team with wide opened eyes.
«Cause you were not listening. You were just sitting silently and we thought it looked suspicious» Hay Lin said.
«And it's not for the first time. This have been happening to you for the last few days» Taranee noticed.
"Oh, that's OK. I was just… thinking"
"About what?" Irma asked curiously «It must be something important because you forget everything in the world! »
Cornelia was confused but tried not to show it. « It doesn't matter at all. Forget it» she waved her hand.
The other guardians looked at each other. They all guessed the reason of Cornelia's strange behavior but didn't tell Corny about it.
Will broke the silence «If everything's all right I think we can go»
« Totally» Hay Lin said «And remember our plan: we're meeting at "Silver dragon" at five. Grandma wanted to cook something really delicious! »
«Great» Taranee took her bag «Bye, Cornelia, thanks for letting us study at your home! »
«You are always welcome! » Cornelia smiled «See you guys later»
Everybody said goodbye to Cornelia and went away. When the door was closed Cornelia sat on her bed and sighted deeply. Her little kitten climbed on the bed and Cornelia took him in her arms and hugged gently.
«Oh, Napoleon, you're the only one who I can tell about the feelings I have to Caleb. I know it's much more than a simple crush. I've never felt this way to any of my past boyfriends. Oh, who am I fooling! Nobody of them was my boyfriend, only good friends, but I never loved anybody of them. But this is different, I'm totally sure in my feelings. I want to tell him so much but I'm scared. What if he doesn't love me? I can't imagine how I will live knowing this and how I will react. Maybe it is really better to leave everything as it is now. »
But let's leave Cornelia alone with her thoughts.
At five o'clock:
An hour later the girls met at the "Silver dragon" as it was planned.
« I also didn't believe that at first» Hay Lin put a piece of fresh fish in her mouth «But Jackie told me, that Rachel told her, that Stephanie told her, that Westley told her that it was total truth»
«Oh, I see now» Irma said a bit surprised that the news they have just heard travelled through the whole US.
Everything was as usual: Mrs. Lin was doing the washing up; Cornelia was dreaming again, Hay Lin was telling everyone the latest gossips, which she said were "total truth", Irma was eating (that was probably the main reason why she came to "Silver dragon"), Will was trying to remember if she had already phoned Matt. Taranee opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted. Somebody opened the door and rushed into the room. It was Caleb. He seemed to have bad news.
«Guys, I got bad news» he said.
The guardians immediately looked at him. And Cornelia too. Caleb looked in her crystal blue eyes and forgot what he wanted to say. Cornelia was the one who he was dreaming about since the first days they met. Caleb had never had such feelings to opposite sex but when he looked at that blond, he was lost in her deep eyes, and her silk golden hair and soft lips made his heart beat very fast and … well, you can say many romantic words about it, but let's return back to the "Silver dragon".
«What happened? » Will looked very worried «Caleb! »
Caleb remembered what he wanted to say.
«I was in Meridian and I found there an unknown portal. It is said, that it was opened when Elyon couldn't control her power. They can't close it now. I need your help before anything really serious happens»
«Come, girls and be careful» Mrs. Lin said «Unknown portals are very dangerous»
«Guardians, united» Will took the heart of the Kandrakar.
It took a minute for girls to transform into their guardian look. Will used the crystal to open the portal to Meridian and Caleb and the girls walked into it. Blunk also wanted to join the company but Yan Lin hold him. «You should better stay, it's dangerous out their» she said.
At this time guys walked out of the portal on the other side of Meridian. Caleb led them to the place where he saw the portal, but when they came, there was nothing!
«It's nonsense! I saw it here two minutes ago! » Caleb was really surprised.
«I think, I know what happened» Cornelia said. Everybody looked at her. «You remember, Mrs. Lin told us about portals, that they can move from one place to another»
Everybody was really surprised to hear that from Cornelia as they were totally sure she wasn't interested in what Mrs. Lin told them about Meridian.
«That's right, but where can it be now? » Taranee shook her shoulders.
«Let's check the map» Irma suggested.
Will took out her map and started to roll the heart of the Kandrakar above it. Soon the crystal sparkled pink and fell on the map.
«Oh, my gosh! The portal is in Heatherfield! » Will said looking at the searching results.
«Even better! It is in the "Silver dragon"! » Irma said.
«No, grandma! » Hay Lin cried «She is in danger, come on, what are we waiting for! »
The girls quickly rushed into the portal but when they got into the restaurant it was too late. A large fire-coloured portal was already there. And it was going to swallow Mrs. Lin and Blunk! Guardians immediately used all their powers to make a shield over them. Hay Lins grandma and Blunk were safe now. But the portal's power light up the guardians, they could only close their eyes when…
