„You can make it if you try. Yeah..."

Huh? Zeke frowned slightly. Casey was a geek, yes, everyone knew this, but since when he had discovered his love for... ähm... singing?

„Yeah, yeah. You'll get what's due you. Everything coming to you. “

„Case? You okay?“

The boy stopped dancing around in his room, grinning wide. „It's a great song, don't you think so? Perfect for today.“

Zeke smirked amused. „What's happened? A talent scout discovered your voice and invited you to American Idol?“

Casey giggled. „It would rather be WB Superstar; I can't sing. But I could just hug the whole world today. I will go to New York this summer, for a ten-week program at Manhatten Art School. Mr. Brown talked with my parents, told them that this is a chance I shouldn't miss, and finally they gave in. I still can't believe it.“

For a split of a second, Zeke felt disappointment rushing through his body; he had hoped to spend some time together with Casey during summer break; they had already made plans. But how could he be so selfish? Going to New York, to one of the best art schools, had always been Casey's dream, and after all the teasing he had to endure at school all the time because he loved photography more then football, he deserved it more than anyone else to have some fun.

„Zeke?“

„Ähm, yeah?“

„What do you think about my idea?“

„Sorry, I was distracted,“ he had to admit. „What kind of idea?“

„I wonder if you would like to come to visit me while I'm in New York. Of course, I will be busy at school, but I guess we will have some free time, too. Might be fun to do some sightseeing together with you.“

Zeke grinned wide. „You serious?“

„Sure.“ Blue eyes were sparkling excitedly. „Hard to imagine going on an adventure like this without my best friend.“

Feeling tired, Celeste put her black cape aside, brushing her hair out of her face. It had been another long day for the magical healer; a lot of monsters, a lot of hard fights. But today they had been lucky. Some minor injuries, nothing serious though. Probably one could call it a good day.

Then her eyes fall onto Ginger. She was much too young to be a warrior; she should go to school, meet a young man, she should laugh and dance. But the circumstances had turned all their lives around. The only chance for the world to survive this monster invasion was to fight them whenever it was necessary.

Ginger never complained but did what needed to be done. And she did an excellent job; with her golden cannon gun, almost bigger and heavier than she was, she was well known all over the world. The other warriors had long stopped to put her courage in question. Even the monsters in their darkest caves showed her some respect.

Celeste stepped closer, watching the young woman cleaning her weapon; almost caressing her hand moved quickly over the shiny metal. „You should have some rest now,“ Celeste said, and Ginger looked up, smiling slightly. „I will rest when the job is done; when the monsters are gone, and the world is free again.“
