Chapter 6

(Lazy short chapter warning! Sorry for the long wait again!)

Clara and Mackenzie sat at a circular table under the shade of an umbrella. They were chatting over a cup of tea.
"Who was that girl who saved us?" Clara wondered.
"Don't know." Mackenzie sipped her tea absentmindedly. "But she looked very familiar. I saw something in her eyes..."
"We'll need some help if we want to crack this case,"
"But who will we ask?"
Clara searched into her mind for something. What would fourteen-year-old me do?
Then, an idea struck her.
"Davi, Lance, can you still call Kippie and Rory?"
"Of course! I'll call Kippie," Davi (in her pixie form) volunteered as she turned into a Glitter Pad.
"I'll do Rory!" Lance replied, doing the same.
As they all waited in silence, Mackenzie asked, "How come we are all grown up and you pixies didn't?"
"I guess we're not as affected by time as humans," Lance guessed. "I don't kno—Rory? Rory, it's me!"
Clara and Mackenzie shot up in their seats. "He answered!"
"What? You found Rachel? We found Clara and Mackenzie, Davi and I! That's awesome!" Lance cheered.
The two girls beamed at each other. As for Davi, she still waited for a reply from Kippie.
"May I talk with Rachel?" Clara asked Lance politely.
"Sure. Hey Rory, put Rachel on." Obediently, Lance floated up to Clara's palm. Clara took a hold of him and listened for Rachel's voice.
"Clara!" an undeniably familiar voice said joyfully.
"Rachel! How is everything?"
Clara and Rachel caught up with each other gladly, talking about their new jobs and recent battles. They also remembered battles they used to fight together as the Glitter Force a long time ago.
"I'm so glad I got Rory back, and that all of this wasn't just a dream," Rachel laughed.
"Same here." Clara glanced over at Davi, only to see a disappointed pixie.
"No answer," Davi whispered, shrugging.
Frowning slightly, Clara told Rachel, "I wonder what Maya's up to. She's already married, huh?"
"Yeah, and she's probably somewhere far from Sea Shell Bay..."
After a long silence, Rachel continued, "Hey, do you want to meet up?"
"Sure! There is something I have to talk to you about. Plus, Mackenzie wants to talk to you too."
"Alright. Maybe at the park? Around dinnertime tomorrow? I have work until the evening."
"Okay! See ya there!"
"See ya, Rachel!" Mackenzie called so that Rachel could hear on the Glitter Pad.
Rachel laughed on the other side and said, "Okay, Mackenzie."
With that, the call ended, and Lance took on his usual pixie form.
"This is so great!" Lance squealed.
"Yeah, except..." Mackenzie looked down, making Clara and the pixies look at her in concern.
"One member's still missing."
