Episode 3: Shiine and the Power of Love

It was still early in the morning when Shiine's mother knocked on his door. Shiine saw the door open and his mother asked him.

Mother: What do you want for breakfast Shiine?
Shiine: Oh mother, I wish you would let me prepare breakfast.
Mother: Nonsense, Shiine. I am your mother so I should prepare breakfast. How does hot cakes sound?
Shiine: Oh hot cakes, my favorite.
Mother: I know. They'll be ready in a minute.

She closed the door behind her. Shiine looked at his reflection in the mirror. He combed his hair and talked to his reflection.

Shiine: Oh Cha Cha. If only you could see that you and me...

Shiine fantasized himself and Cha Cha running across a field of flowers. Her laughter filled his head and the sight of her face smiling. Suddenly Riiya in his wolf state, with his cute eyes were smiling while Cha Cha hugged him. Shiine, strangled Riiya in his mind.

Shiine's dream was broken when he heard his mother call him for breakfast. He found himself strangling his pillow and put it down.

At the breakfast table, Shiine saw his mother put down hot drinks and food. He saw his father reading the newspapers.

Shiine: Good morning father, mother.
Axis: Good morning Shiine.
Mother: Come and eat your breakfast, Shiine.

Shine sat down at the table in front of his plate. Shiine's father, Axis, looked up from his newspaper and spoke to his son.

Axis: I see that you are going to visit Cha Cha again.

Shiine was embarrassed, he didn't know his parents could see right through him.

Shiine: Yes, father.
Mother: Axis, stop teasing our son. He's a big boy now.
Axis: Old enough to start thinking about girls I see.
Shiine: I don't think about girls.
Axis: Don't you? Let's see, Cha Cha is a girl wouldn't you say?

Shiine blushed.

Mother: See, you've made our son blush.
Axis: Hahaha... Shiine, if you want to learn how to woo a woman's heart, you should listen to your mother.
Mother: What would I know about wooing a woman?
Axis: Everything, you taught me how to woo one a long time ago.

Shiine sat there thinking about Cha Cha.

Cha Cha and Riiya were standing on the castle balcony, when they saw Shiine approach. Cha Cha was very happy to see Shiine as he flew down on his broom.

Cha Cha: Hello Shiine!

Shiine jumped off his broom and made a box of chocolates and flowers appear. He gave them to Cha Cha. Riiya's eyes widened at the chocolates.

Riiya: Chocolates...
Cha Cha: Oh Shiine, you're so sweet.
Shiine: Anything for you, Cha Cha.

Riiya transformed back to his boy form.

Riiya: What is the big idea of giving Cha Cha chocolates, Shiine?
Shiine: Why, Riiya. Are you jealous?
Riiya: I sure am. Where's my box of chocolates?

Shiine fell down.

Suzu, Yakko and Marine were lying down in a field, looking up at the clouds.

Suzu: It's so nice to be looking at the clouds.
Yakko: Yes, and you sometimes find that clouds look like familiar things.
Marine: I know what you mean, like that cloud over there. It looks like my Riiya. Oh Riiya.
Yakko: That one looks like Shiine don't you think, Suzu? Suzu?

Suzu looked at the cloud, and in her mind she saw Shiine's face appear on the cloud. She blushed.

Yakko: Hahaha... Suzu is thinking about Shiine again.
Marine: How about you? You're thinking of Seravi again.
Yakko: Ah my sweet Seravi... our love will one day be revealed. Then we can be together.
Marine: You want to steal Dorothy's husband?

Marine got hit right in the jaw. Yakko's fist was throbbing red as a result of hitting Marine.

Yakko: Why don't you shut up!
Suzu: Yakko, how do you make uh... a boy fall in love with you?
Yakko: Why, I never thought you would ask. Presenting Yakko's secret love potion no. 9 Letter X!

Yakko took out the love potion and held it in her hand.

Marine: Is that potion fattening?

Yakko hit Marine in the jaw again.

Yakko: One splash of this on you, and any man would want you.
Suzu: I don't know...
Marine: You know her potions don't always work correctly...

Yakko hit Marine's jaw a third time.

Yakko: You don't have to worry. In fact we can go and test this right now. I heard Shiine is at the castle.
Suzu: Castle?

Yakko hopped on her broom.

Yakko: Come on, we don't want to miss him.

At the castle, Cha Cha, Shiine and Riiya were playing hide and seek.

Cha Cha: Wow! You found me, now it's Riiya's turn!

Riiya turned and faced the tree. Cha Cha told him to count to a hundred and come after them. Shiine and Cha Cha ran off.

Riiya: One, two, three, four, uh... five, uh... seven...

Shiine's head shouted from behind Riiya.

Shiine: It's six!

Riiya continued his counting.

Riiya: Uh... Six, seven, uh... eight, nine, ten!

He stopped counting but still faced the tree. After a few moments, Shiine shouted again.

Shiine: Why did you stop counting?!
Riiya: What's comes after ten?

Riiya was in his wolf form, sniffing out Cha Cha and Shiine.

Riiya: I'm gonna get you, you can run but you can't hide...

Yakko and Suzu flew down on her broom. Riiya turned back into a boy.

Yakko: Where is Shiine?
Riiya: Shiine? I don't know, probably hiding with Cha Cha.

Yakko quickly ran to a nearby bush and pulled out Cha Cha. Yakko's hands were pressing ChaCha's cheeks together.

Yakko: Where is Shiine, Cha Cha?
Cha Cha: I don't know... he's not hiding here.

Yakko let go of Cha Cha who fell back into the bushes.

Yakko: He's not here.
Riiya: Why do you want with Shiine?

Suddenly from far away, a dust cloud zoomed towards the castle, a dust cloud that was calling Riiya's name. Marine stopped in front of Riiya who turned into his wolf form. She looked everywhere before asking Yakko.

Marine: Where's my darling Riiya?
Yakko: They say love is blind, but I didn't know it was this blind.
Marine: What's that supposed to mean?

Marine ran to the nearby bush and pulled out Cha Cha. Marine pushed her cheeks together, demanding to know where she was hiding her Riiya.

Cha Cha: Help me Riiya, Shiine.

Shiine jumped out from behind a nearby tree.

Shiine: Cha Cha! Marine, let her go!
Marine: Not until she tells me where my Riiya is.

Yakko took this chance to jump in.

Yakko: Ahah! I've found you. Prepare to be hit!

Shiine was frightened.

Shiine: Wh... what?

Yakko whispered to Suzu.

Yakko: Suzu, you must be the one to throw this potion. It will cause whoever it hits to fall desperate in love with you. Be careful not to shake it, the effects might change.

Just as Yakko was handing the potion to Suzu, Riiya turned back into his boy form. He was curious at the bottle Yakko was carrying. He wanted to know if he could drink it. Marine seeing Riiya quickly tried to seize the potion from Suzu, she wanted to throw it on Riiya.

Yakko: Marine, what are you doing?
Marine: Give me that love potion. I want my darling Riiya and me to be together.

Suzu was still holding on to the potion when Marine grabbed it, and Suzu was also lifted up. Marine tried to shake Suzu off the potion, causing the potion to change color. Yakko put her hands on the potion too, trying to get it away from Marine.

Yakko: Don't shake it...
Marine: Give me that!
Suzu: Marine...no!

Out of nowhere, Cha Cha ran in and tried to grab the potion away from Marine.

Cha Cha: Marine, give it back to Suzu!

In the struggle the bottle slipped out of their hands. In slow motion, the four set of eyes slowly look at the potion fall down, fall down and break on Shiine. The potion spilt all over him.

Shiine: What is this?

At that moment, the four girls began to see Shiine in a different light. Suzu, Yakko, Marine and Cha Cha began to see Shiine as their knight in shining armor. They all fell in love with him.

Suzu was the first to reach him. Shiine looked down at her.

Suzu: Oh Shiine...
Shiine: Suzu...

Suzu was kicked away, when Cha Cha flew into the scene.

Cha Cha: Oh Shiine, how I love you...
Shiine: Cha Cha! I love you too...

Marine kicked Cha Cha away. She put her hands around Shiine. Shiine tried to pull her hands apart.

Marine: Oh Shiine, darling. Where have you been all my life?

Shiine was starting to get confused. He had no idea what was going on. He was also starting to get frightened.

Marine was sent flying too when Yakko came in. Yakko's robe revealed a long leg, as Yakko looked sexily at Shiine.

Yakko: Hello, Shiine.
Shiine: Oh no, not you too!

Yakko put her hands around Shiine's shoulders. Yakko put her face close to his.

Yakko: Just kiss me.

Yakko's lips moved closer to his face. Shiine tried to get away. Suddenly, Yakko's hood was pulled from behind, causing Yakko to lose her grip on Shiine. A dust cloud formed as the four girls were fighting over Shiine.

Finally, the four of them separated into their respective corners.

Marine: We'll fight for him.
Yakko: I agree. The winner can keep him.

Riiya decided to cut in.

Riiya: Girls, why are you fighting over Shiine?
Girls: QUIET!

Riiya was thrown to the floor. The girls ganged up on Riiya and started insulting him.

Suzu: You are a glutton!

Riiya started to crack like a mirror, as his feelings were hurt.

Marine: Yeah and you're not even cute!

Riiya cracked a little more.

Yakko: And you're so childish!

He cracked even more.

Cha Cha: We don't even like you!

Riiya finally cracked into billions of pieces.

Riiya: Arrrggghh...

The girls went back to their fighting. Yakko was chasing Cha Cha with her potions, Marine was chasing Suzu with the magic wand. Then it turned around and Cha Cha was chasing Yakko on her broom while Suzu was chasing Marine with her samurai sword.

Suzu: Let me change you into sushi, Marine.

Marine then chased Cha Cha as Yakko chased Suzu. Again it changed around when Cha Cha chased Marine and Suzu chased Yakko. On and on this went until all four of them were dizzy and tired.

Finally, Cha Cha decided to use her Crescent Aurora Bracelet. The magic boomerang brought back with it a guitar. All eyes fell on the musical instrument. Nobody knew what to do with it, but Yakko picked it up and got ready to sing Shiine a song.

The guitar suddenly started playing, and it played what Yakko was really feeling. Yakko couldn't help it but she suddenly burst into song. It was a love song and it went something like this:

My love for you was never meant to be,
But you're my prince and I'll never forget,
You are the love for me,
My darling Seravi.

Everyone's eyes grew huge as they realized that Yakko was singing a love song to Seravi. Marine and Suzu realized what was happening.

Suzu: The musical instrument makes the person sing what is really in their heart.
Marine: Oh my...

Yakko kept on singing.

My love for you is like the endless sea,
You're the kindest man that I've ever met,
I know you can love me,
My darling Sera...

Marine kicked Yakko away from the guitar.

Marine: Hiiya... My turn. This love song is for you Shiine.

Yakko lay face down in the dirt as Marine started singing.

Riiya, my Riiya, where can you be my love?

Marine stopped. Everyone's eyes grew wide at the first words. Marine tried again.

Marine: This one's for you Shiine.

Riiya, my Riiya...
Marine quickly closed her mouth with her hands. She saw Riiya standing there tall and straight, so handsome.

Marine: Riiiya!!! Come here my darling Riiya!

She ran to him but by the time she got there, she found a white fluffy dog sitting down. Marine continued looking for Riiya. Cha Cha pushed Suzu towards the guitar, but Suzu refused.

Suzu: You first Cha Cha.

Cha Cha picked up the guitar and started playing a beautiful melody that was unfortunately ruined by rotten lyrics.

Cha Cha: I am hungry!

Cha Cha suddenly realized that the potion's effects had faded, now that the guitar showed their true feelings. Happily she turned to Shiine and saw that he was crying.

Shiine: *sob*... Nobody loves me... not even Cha Cha.
Suzu: That's not true Shiine, we still love you.
Cha Cha: That's right Shiine...

Riiya in his wolf form sang and danced across the background.

Riiya: Nobody loves Shiine, woo hoo... Shiine is a loveless boy.

Suzu and Cha Cha shouted at Riiya.

Suzu and Cha Cha: Keep quiet Riiya!

Riiya started to cry as Marine bumped both Cha Cha and Suzu in her search for Riiya.

Marine: Riiya, where are you?

Suzu went over to Shiine. Shiine looked down at her and saw that she was blushing intensely.

Suzu: Shiine, we'll always be your friends.
Shiine: You're right Suzu.

Slowly the clouds float by as Marine's voice punctuates the air.

Marine: Riiya!!! Your sweetheart is here Riiya!!!

End.
