       Crystal Shadows ~ Chapter 2: Of Secrets and Surprises

       [glow=yellow2300] Synopsis of Chapter 1:
       The Knights are a rag-tag group of friends that spread
       throughout all the grades at Webster High. Merida is one of the
       founders. She also has to deal with her sister Zelda who is
       heading for college, and her younger triplet brothers. Suffice
       it to say, it's hard to get a moment of quiet. One night, she is
       watching her favorite show Merlin when she texts her friends
       about the next meeting. It doesn't take long for Lucy and Edmund
       Pevensie to respond to her call. Nor does it take long for their
       friend Link to respond while he moons over his long love Zelda
       while she prepares to start attending college.
       The only member of their gang that doesn't get the message is
       Fakir, who spends all of his time at the pond in his back yard
       with a little duck he calls Ente. That night they read a story
       he had written about a Demon King and a band of Brave Knights.
       Though, he doesn't know that with the aid of a flower, she can
       turn into a girl named Duck, a person that Fakir doesn't get
       along with very well. The next day he gets caught by Merida and,
       in a burst of irritability, offers his back yard for their next
       meeting.
       In the meantime, Link has driven out to Zelda's college, at her
       behest, and they confessed to each other. The only person that
       knows is one of Zelda's classmates, Belle, who watched from afar
       as a small misunderstanding was patched up between the
       two.[/glow]

       Merida stared open mouthed at her friend. He had never, ever!,
       let anyone near that pond. She had found out about by mear
       accident and had been prometly sworn to secreacy. And not to
       mention they always used Merida's house for training. No matter
       what. She had a big open area perfect for the basic training,
       and around all different kinds of terrain and foliage perfect
       for testing different biomes. And if the weather was bad they
       used her giant shed where they stored all the weapons and armor.
       But she would not pass up a chance to see this pond, to fight at
       it, to play and train at it. "Sure! But we'll obviously have to
       stop by my house to grab the gear."

       "Of course," Fakir responded, wondering why he had offered his
       backyard up for training. At the very least, they would get
       experience fighting by water. "I'll talk to you later," he said
       as the bell rang.

       "I mean,"  said Lucy when there was no response from her
       brother, "I know why we're called The Knights of the Round
       Table, and 'The Knights' is a great abbervation. But I feel
       like, we should have our own name. That's unquiely ours. You
       know? Like a subset of the Round Table."

       Zelda was up before her alarm could even go off. She got ready
       for her first day of college with excitement. Quickly she texted
       Link wishing him a good day, she had already missed him so much
       but she was a little distracted by her new school.
       The entrance to her first class was filled with students trying
       to cram into one door. She took the first seat available and saw
       out of the corner of her eye the top of Groose's silly hair do.
       Oh no.... Zelda covered her face and looked the other way hoping
       that she would become "invisible" to him.

       Link was already in the library finishing up his homework when
       he got Zelda's text. He smiled to himself, then stopped. He had
       completely forgotten to talk with Merida about why he wasn't at
       practice! What was he going to do? Merida was sure to beat a
       confession out of him...and the last thing he wanted was for her
       to know that he ditched the group for a girl...he'd have to come
       up with something fast...he already heard her voice approaching
       the library doors.
       Padme hurried to class. She had overslept...again. She snuck
       into class just as the bell rang. Thank goodness... she thought
       to herself, then looked around. She caught sight of a very
       pretty young lady who had a head of flaming red hair. Padme's
       eyes widened. How wild, and beautiful. The girl looked back and
       the young transfer student averted her gaze. The last thing she
       needed was to make any enemies at her new school. That is what
       got her kicked out of her old school, after all.

       Zelda turned back around very slightly to see where he ended up
       sitting and didn't see him anymore! Maybe he was in the wrong
       class....
       "Zelda! What are the odds huh" Groose exclaimed sitting on the
       opposite side of where she was looking. She faked a smile,
       "yeah....how great..." he put his arm around her and she shoved
       it right off "so who was the one guy that was all over you last
       night? You don't have a boyfriend or anything like that..."
       Zelda gave him a hard look, "he's my boyfr-" she stopped
       herself.
       We never really made it official but we told each other that we
       loved each other so that should be enough right...or maybe it
       was just the spur of the moment...I should refrain from getting
       my hopes up.
       But before she could defend herself from Groose's question and
       comment class began to start. The duration of the class
       consisted of Groose constantly playing a game of scooting closer
       to Zelda and her pushing away. She sighed, there's always
       something to screw things up she thought in a sarcastic tone.

       Link snuck into the bathroom after he finished eating lunch.
       There was still some time left of the lunch period, and he
       wanted to talk with Zelda again. He got his phone out and
       started texting.
       Hey sweetie! You know, I realized that I never did what I meant
       to do when I went to your house yesterday. I was meaning to ask
       you out, if your feelings were the same. I guess in all the
       commotion with your mom and Groose and everything I just
       forgot...I'm sorry. Would you like me to ask in person, or will
       the flowers I sent to your dorm room compensate for this
       last-minute text? ;)
       Have a great day!

       Lucy huffed, her brother wasn't paying any attention at all!
       "I'll ask Merida! She'll understand,"  Lucy told her self in her
       head.
       The rest of the day past quickly and before she knew she was
       standing at the front door waiting for the others. Merida
       siddled up to her and said, "So change of plans, training will
       be at Fakir's today. We'll have to stop by my place first,
       obvioulsy. And, oh yeah!, Link's not coming,"  there was a
       defiante tone of resentment in her voice at the last part.
       "Oh alright, um Merida, I invited someone to come along. I just
       need her help with a project!" Lucy explained quickly, she knew
       Merida was fericely protetive of who joined the sessions. Just
       then Lucy spotted her red-haired friend busting out the doors,
       "Duck."
       "Hi. Sorry Lucy,"  puffed Duck. And before Lucy could say, 'no
       problem!' Duck rattled, "Tomoyo called, seventh period!
       Something came up. She is so sorry, but if you could do
       tommorow..."  Duck's eyes were pleading.
       "Sure, that will work just fine," Lucy reassured her. "Give me
       more time to think anyways...." "If you could still come with
       me?"
       "Of course!" Duck replied, happy to help.
       Just then Fakir siddled up to the group.
       (guys...because of when and how often people have been replying
       to this - our days are a litte off, if we could work to fix that
       it would help tremandously)

       (d'awwww we're all such love saps hahaxD it is quite great:P)
       Zelda's phone buzzed in the middle of class, she didn't want to
       get caught on her cell in the middle of her first day of class
       though...she would have to wait it out.
       All the books closed and the students rose from their seats as
       Zelda made a mad dash for the door. Groose of course beat her to
       the door, "listen Zelda I just want to clarify that I don't want
       to come between anything you may have with that kid yesterday"
       she was shocked were these words ACTUALLY coming out of Groose's
       mouth??? He continued "do you mind if I walk you to your dorm,"
       she shook her head no and they began to walk together at a
       steady pace.
       "I've always admired you," Zelda's shoulders fell here he goes
       again... "there was always something about you that was flawless
       and magnifying. I guess I just never had a good way of
       approaching girls back then huh?" she now was washed by some
       pity. She had NEVER wanted to bring down his spirits....he was
       just CONSTANTLY on her about dating and she always felt
       sufficated. She tried to lift his spirits a bit, "you weren't
       horrible Groose, you were actually very sweet...until you asked
       me out every hour on the hour" she joked. Groose laughed while
       looking down at the floor, "yeah that was a bit much wasn't it?
       But we we're only in Middle School! I just want to start
       over..." she smiled at how civil he was being, "sounds good to
       me!" They reached her dorm room. He looked at her with hopefull
       eyes, "see you around?" She nodded, "sure thing Groose!" Zelda
       put her hand on the door knob and began to open the door with
       her back when Groose leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. As he
       got close to her face she backed up by opening the door and
       walking into her room, "goodbye Groose." He walked away knowing
       that he didn't really give himself a good start. Zelda had known
       that passion wasn't going to be a part of that kiss he was
       trying to give, it was a friendship kiss but she knew that if
       she had let it happen it would upset her to the point of being
       sick.
       She closed her dorm door and pulled out her phone to see Link's
       sweet text, flowers? she looked up and saw the full bouqet of
       roses sitting on her desk! She was overjoyed and pratically hit
       tears of happiness. She replied as fast as she could.
       It's alright baby! The flowers are beautiful thank you so
       much!♥
       I don't want you to waste gas on coming all the way out here. We
       will just have to wait it out for a weekend or a vacation time I
       guess....
       I miss you! Be safe at practice and tell my little siblings to
       behave please haha :P

       (I know.... :P well, at least we have people to share it with!)
       (And Tally- wait, what do you mean? This is day three, right?
       Started out that night with Merida and the show, then the next
       day Link and Zelda had their time and the day went by with Link
       not at practice, now day three, Link at practice and Duck too at
       Fakir's house? And, of course, Padme joining the school and
       finding interest in the group.)
