The Marathon Begins!

Saya and Miyuna had on their sportswear and stretched. I walked out my room with Victoria and looked at them. I had my hair in a ponytail and wore a short dress. Saya and Miyuna looked at me and smiled.

"You two planning on being in the race?" I asked.

"Mhm! I heard Kotome was gonna be in there! I wanna get a chance to race her!" Saya said.

"No offense, but compared to Kotome...you're only a snail frozen in time to her." I said.

"Did I hear someone say time?" Gloria appeared out of nowhere, wearing sportswear.

"Geez you also Gloria?" I said.

"Of course! A chance to race fast people with powers? I'm taking that chance any day!" Gloria smiled.

"Well..alright. You best get going then, I'll be watching from the Lunia Tower. Victoria, you go ahead and join also, just in case something happens." I said.

"As you wish, Your Highness." Victoria ran to her room to change.

A few minutes passed and Victoria walked out in running clothes. We all went to the starting line and I waved then headed towards the tower. Kotome was stretching and she got in running position. Another girl stood beside her and closed her eyes. Gloria kept her eye patch on and gave a smug laugh. Victoria got in running position. Saya and Miyuna stuck close together and looked around.

"On your mark! Get set! Go!" The man said and fired the gun in the air.

Kotome vanished and a huge gust of wind blew behind her. The sound finally came and it sounded like a very loud boom. Saya and Miyuna hugged each other and squealed in terror. Kotome caused a sonic boom. They opened their eyes and saw they were in dead last.

"Kotome is amazing.." Saya caught her breath.

"Y-Yeah.." Miyuna said. "L-Let's try to catch up."

Saya and Miyuna began running. Saya began to hum Green Greens from Kirby. Saya and Miyuna did more skipping and dancing than running. I watched from the screen and covered my mouth and laughed a bit.

"Oh my gosh..they are too cute.." I said.

Kotome and Victoria were neck and neck in the race. Kotome looked at Victoria and smiled then ahead.

"You're pretty fast Victoria." Kotome said.

"You're just a lot slower without your Lunar Arms." Victoria said.

"S-Slower?!" Kotome said and looked at Victoria.

"By a lot. I studied you..and I know after that sonic boom you wasted 40% of your stamina..you blitzed your way to first, but you're soon running out of steam.." Victoria said.

"Oh? You studied me? Then study this!" Kotome flickered and vanished.

"Chaos Control!" Gloria took off her eye patch then teleported her way near Victoria. "Uhm, Saya and Miyuna are dead last."

"Mm? That sonic boom must've freightened them. I'll go check up on them." Victoria began to trail behind.

"We.." Saya started to sing.

"Are the crystal..." Miyuna continued.

"Gems!" Saya jumped.

"We'll always save the day." They both sang.

"And if you think we can't we'll.." Miyuna sang.

"Always find a way!" They both sang.

"That's why the people.." Saya sang.

"Of this world." They harmonized.

"Believe in." Miyuna sang.

"Garnet, Amethyst" Saya sang.

"And Pearl" Miyuna sang.

"And Steven!" Saya jumped in the air and laughed.

I basically started to throw up rainbows because of the cuteness overload I was witnessing. I didn't even wanna switch the cameras.

"Oh what about that song we wrote together when we were in Uphelia?" Saya smiled.

"Oh! Whisper My Name? You wanna sing that?" Miyuna smiled.

"Mhm! Let's do it!" Saya smiled.

They started humming and harmonizing together. Miyuna was going to sing first.

"Outside it's a rainy day

And you're looking to fade away." Miyuna sang.

"Fade away fade away." Saya sang the ad-libs.

"When I come you just look away.

Hoping my image is fake." Miyuna sang.

"But I felt something had changed." Saya sang.

"I hear you whisper my name

But I know it's just not the same

But I can't figure why you would waste your time

Because I know I have no chance anyway." Miyuna sang powerfully.

"You were looking your window

And you hoped you disappear.

You acted like you didn't need me

So I acted like I didn't care." Saya sang her verse.

There was a little pause before Saya sang the main chorus.

"I hear you whisper my name

And I felt like something did change

And I don't know why you would hide how you felt from me

Cause I know I could help you anyway."

"Whisper whisper my name

Whisper whisper my name

I heard you whisper whisper my name

Whisper whisper my name

I heard you whisper.." Miyuna and Saya harmonized.

Victoria looked back at them and smiled. She clapped a bit and Miyuna broke out of her trance and blushed incredibly hard.

"V-Victoria?! I thought you were in the front!" Miyuna said, embarrassed.

"I was then I was informed you were trailing behind so I came to check up on you two. You both sing beautifully." Victoria smiled.

"It's nothing, we sang all the time back in Uphelia since we only had each other." Saya smiled.

"Y-Yeah.." Miyuna nodded.

"I would like to hear more sometime." Victoria said.

"S-Sure, we wrote a few songs on our free time." Miyuna said. "We'd be delighted to sing for you."

"I'm looking forward to it." Victoria smiled. "Let's focus on making sure you two make it to the first rest point on time."

"Okay!" Saya and Miyuna said.

I smiled and stood up and turned off the screen then walked out the room. I was planning to make my way towards the first rest point which was in Everwright Village. I wanted to hear those two sing in person. Their voices was like my mom's singing..it really put me at ease. I felt warm inside listening to them sing and wanted more. I contacted Haido and he got the vehicle ready to head over towards Everwright Village.
