Orchids

Let us keep on remembering.


Barely a week after the Ring Battles had ended, Mun, Carmen, Alene, Marian, Meiling, and Rachel returned to Italy.

Yiernoshi and Sam walked down an empty street. Yiernoshi was bored. Christine had gone to buy some cookies at some random new bakery, Jeanine was doing homework, Victoria was at yet another golf tournament, and Se Ern was probably at the pet store buying cat food. She didn't dare to find Claire, and Maria had disappeared without a trace.

So in short, Yiernoshi was walking around, trying to find something to do, as all of herfriends were currently occupied.

Suddenly, she saw a figure running towards her. It was Se Ern.

"Hi, Yiernoshi!"

She was carrying a large bag of cat food in her arms. As she waved frantically at Yiernoshi, she tripped over a stone on the road.

Yiernoshi stared at a dark shape that had flown off Se Ern when she had fallen, and was now spiralling towards her and Sam.

It was the Ten Year Pencilcase.

"It's coming towards us!"

Sam stared up at it.

"This is bad. I can't move."

"Eh?"

Yiernoshi got out of the way, just in time, as a cloud of smoke engulfed Sam.

"Don't tell me...it hit Sam...which means that the one standing here should be Sam from ten years later!"

The smoke cleared, and Yiernoshi found herself looking at...

...nothing.

"Sam...?"

Se Ern had picked herself up, and was now running towards Yiernoshi.

"Yiernoshi! I'm so sorry! Did Sam get zapped?"

"Yeah...she'll return after 5 minutes, right?''

"Think so."
-----
An hour later, Sam had not appeared yet. Running down one of the streets, looking frantically for Sam, Yiernoshi ran into Jeanine and Christine.

"Good morning, Fourteenth!"

"Why are you running around, Yiernoshi?"

Yiernoshi scratched her head sheepishly.

"Well...Sam sort of...disappeared."

"Eh?"

And so, Yiernoshi explained to them what had transpired an hour ago.

Christine nodded.

"I see...shall we help you find Sam?"

Jeanine nodded energetically.

"I'll search around the school!"

"And I'll go to Se Ern's house."

Yiernoshi blinked.

"Oh, eh...then I'll go to the park."

Christine and Jeanine ran off.

Yiernoshi ran towards the park.

"Sam! Where are you? Where did you go?"

Running past the bookstore, she bumped into Se Ern.

"Oh, Se Ern! Do you happen to know where Sam went?"

Se Ern shook her head.

She pulled out the Ten Year Pencilcase.

"Hmm...maybe it malfunctioned..."

Yiernoshi held out her hand.

"May I see it?"

"Sure."

Se Ern handed the pencilcase over.

Unfortunately, in the process, its keychain got yanked.

"Oops."

There was a bang, and Yiernoshi disappeared in a thick mass of yellow smoke.
-----
Yiernoshi was travelling in a tunnel of light.

I got hit by the Ten Year Pencilcase...she thought.

Abruptly, the light disappeared, to be replaced by pitch darkness.

Trees? No...the scent of flowers...it's so dark...

She reached out a hand

Oh, it's moving.

Yiernoshi pushed off the black thing above her, and sat up.

She was in a forest, the scent of flowers and morning dew heavy around her.

"This place is ten years in the future...which means that I'll be coming here in ten years..."

"Oh yeah, where is here?"

She looked around her.

"Eh? Isn't this a coffin?"

She freaked out.

"Why is my future self in a coffin?!"

"Who's there?"

A new voice sounded. Accompanied by a footstep.

A familiar silhouette loomed in front of her.

"Ah...you're..."
-----
Yes! Finally began the third arc! This is where everyone else comes into play.

Just to clarify, in case Yiernoshi's shape-shifting lollipop confused you:

Triangular lollipop: to freeze the Dying Will Flame

Squarish lollipop: to absorb the opponent's flame
