2nd Generation

「Ch. III | Two Strangers」

As Yukira and Lela left Sabrina's temple and headed towards the soda shop, they made sure they got everything right on the order. "I want a root beer," Lela said "And I a Chocolate Firework Sundae," Yukira said.

"And Aunt Sabrina wanted a Starlight Tea," Lela, again, said "Then Uncle Romeo and Aunt Wendy wanted a Strawberry and Cherry Ice Cream Soda," Yukira mentally made a list in her head of what to get.

They walked into the soda shop called Callum's Soda Shop & Isa's café. The two friends had decided to make a shop together after they finished mastering their magic. They couldn't decide what to make so they made a hybrid shop with both ideas they had.

Yukira and Lela looked around at the nicely decorated place, it was a tasteful mix between a normal coffee shop and a black and white tiled, modern soda shop. Isa was behind the bar, cleaning the top of it. She smiled and waved at them "Heya Yukira! Lela! Welcome to the shop, what can I do for ya?" She leaned over with her elbow on the bar.

Yukira and Lela sat down on barstools and Isa got out her little waitress notebook, flipping her dark blonde hair over her shoulder and looking at them with her intense grey eyes "Well?" She said, impatiently and Yukira smiled at her "Well, Isa, I'd like a Chocolate Firework Sundae, Lela wants-" "A root beer," Lela interrupted. Yukira nodded and continued "We'd also like a Starlight Tea, a Strawberry Ice Cream Soda and a Cherry one."

Isa's pen flew across the paper as she wrote it down "Okay, I'll be right back with that, girls," she walked off. The two girls jumped at the same time as someone put their arms around both of their shoulders "Heya Lela, Yukira," "Callum?" Yukira turned her head to see Callum's blue hair with red tips. Its spikes stuck out in unruly angles and he smirked at the both of them.

"Yeah it's me, do you know anyone else with blue hair that has red tips in it?" Yukira shook her head "Good point, but you know, people can always dye their hair," "Whatever, it's me, need proof? My parents are Erza Scarlet and Jellal Fernandes, your mother is Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel-" "It's okay, I believe you."

Yukira raised a hand to stop Callum in his tacks of proving himself "Hey Callum, are you and Isa together yet?" Lela asked with a smirk. Callum shook his head "I can't believe you still think we're a good couple," "You're a perfect couple! Good doesn't even begin to explain it!" Lela smiled at Callum.

Callum stared at her "Really? Then you tell her that, if I dared ask her out she'd say no in a heartbeat," "Who'd say no in a heartbeat, Callum?" Isa came back and looked at Callum as she put the drinks on the table "Here you are girls, a Chocolate Firework Sundae, a root beer, a Strawberry Ice Cream Soda, a Starlight Tea and a Cherry Ice Cream Soda."

"Thank you, Isa," Yukira said, grabbing a spoon and digging into her sundae "No problemo Yukira, now, Callum, who were you talking about?" She put her elbows on the table, leaning forward, closer to Callum. Yukira and Lela shared a small smirk, knowing where this was going.

"Um...we were talking about-" "You!" Lela squealed "He wants to ask you out but he thought you'd say no but we told him to try anyway!" Lela's three friends blinked at her, surprised, two blushing like mad "Y-You want to ask me out...Callum?" "Y-Yeah..." Callum mumbled and Isa smiled, grabbing his collar.

She pulled him forward and smashed her lips onto his "Well, that's a yes," she smiled at him and Yukira and Lela were trying not to hyperventilate from fangirling. They got up and walked away, not really wanting to die from holding in their fangirling.

They sat at a booth and burst out laughing and tried to calm down. They were laughing so hard no sound came out. When they stopped they packed up the drinks and prepared to leave when two guys sat down in their seats, pushing them down. "Huh? Who are you guys?" Lela asked looking at the guy next to her.

He had red, spiky hair and dazzling green eyes and a charmer's smile. The one next to Yukira had the same smile but onyx eyes and green hair. They both stared at the girls next to them while the girls stared at them, shocked. "Hey, babes, how about we serve you ladies up with a little" the green haired one leaned close and whispered in Yukira's ear "Love potion?"

The same boy smiled and caressed Yukira's cheek, she tried to fight back but suddenly she couldn't. Her skin glowed where he touched her and his hand glowed too. Yukira felt a pull, she couldn't fight him, whatever this magic was, it was pulling her in. Yukira looked over and saw that her friend was the same, but worse.

Lela leaned close to the redhead and was flirting with him! Yukira snapped out of the spell for a moment "Lela! Don't...f-fall...to it!" Yukira closed one eye in struggle to fight the power. She looked around and saw that the shop was empty except for them "W-What are you doing?"

She struggled through her words, glaring at the green haired boy with one eye, taking a glance at Lela to see her almost kissing the redhead but he was teasing her, not letting her touch him. "What's your name?" She said and the green haired boy kept smiling at her "My name's Roy, he's Ace."

"Why are you doing this? And what are you?" Roy leaned forward and almost brushed his mouth against hers "I'm just following orders, Yukira, and I'm have a magic they call-" he kissed her nose, skin glowing bright again but Yukira was ready for it this time so it didn't affect her as much.

"They call my magic seduction magic, the power to make anyone do whatever I want with just. A. Touch." He touched her neck and it glowed brightly again "Stop resisting Yukira, your friend complied easily," he smirked over at Lela and Ace who were on the verge on making out.

"Whose orders are you following?" "My bosses, of course," Yukira rolled her eyes "Whatever," she tightly clenched her eye closed as he used magic on her again. One eye remained fixed on him. Suddenly his charming face turned into a scowl "Fine, if it'll take more than simple touching...I didn't want to do this, Yukira."

It scared her that he actually sounded regretful but she didn't put anymore thought into it as he slammed his lips onto hers. He leaned back and Yukira stared, shocked as a dark pink, spirit-like fog came out of her mouth. Roy pulled it into his mouth and looked like he was really enjoying it, drinking it like it was a drug.

Yukira couldn't help but admit it felt good whatever he was doing but she was too stubborn, she wouldn't fall for his tricks. Roy stopped pulling the fuchsia coloured mist from her and blew it back into her, in and out, in and out. She couldn't help but fall for it, soon, she did.

She leaned forward and kissed him, surprising him and making his eyes shoot open. He kissed her back and held her close, passionately kissing her. Yukira's mind was screaming at her to stop but her body wouldn't listen. Roy smiled into their kiss "They all break eventually," Yukira snapped back to reality at that but she kept kissing him.

She had a plan, let him think she was under his command until she could escape. She licked her lips and tried to be seductive in her moves but Roy suddenly leaned back. He laughed "You should stop now Yukira, or I'll take you, right here and now." She definitely didn't want that so she backed off.

Roy took a little more of the fuchsia mist and opened his eyes. Yukira gasped to see his once onyx coloured eyes were now dark pink, the same colour as the mist "I guess I should explain the mist to you, eh?" She didn't say anything as she stared into his fuchsia eyes with a slightly opened mouth.

"The pinkish mist is your energy, if I take all of it you die but it feels amazing to have a death by my magic, my magic's motto is "death with a smile," kind of sick, isn't it?" She nodded "Yeah, that's kind of messed up." He nodded and glanced over at Ace "Hey Ace! We're done here, now let's finish this job." Ace stopped kissing Lela and nodded.

The two boys got up and held out their hands for the girls, the girls took them and they all stood next to each other. Just as they were about to leave Yukira stopped them "Wait," she left towards the back of the shop and heard some...odd noises. She didn't even try to think about what it was.

She made a note that said "Send these drinks to Oracle Sab's place, they're for Sab, Wendy and Romeo, thank you -Yukira," once that was done she went back to Roy, Ace and Lela "Sorry, I had to do that," Roy nodded and gave her his arm. She took it and they started towards who knows where. Yukira just hoped she'd done the right thing.
