Chapter 4: Madame Pyka

Rue
     I was dreaming. And in my dream I was falling. falling, falling. I could make out beautiful bright colors whirling past me and I eagerly opened my eyes. I really was falling! "EEEEEAAAAAAACCKK!!!" I screamed. Bright, bold colors flew past me in all different shapes and squiggles. I forgot my fear for a second to look and stare at the brilliant blues, the crimson reds, the outstanding oranges, the graceful greens, the pretty purples, and the yummy yellows. "Ahhh!" I exclaimed, blinking twice. My eyes couldn't hold in all the colors before me. You couldn't concentrate on any one thing. Hues of pink and orange zoomed past as fast as I could blink. It was like if you even blinked once, you were missing out on one of the world's most superb moving masterpieces. For maybe the first time in my whole life, I could look past my fears and unto the bright side of things.
     I held my hands in front of my face and gasped. They weren't my hands! They were more slender, like the hands of a manga or anime character. I felt my cheeks. My skin was a smooth as satin. A reflective mirror-like color flew past me and I caught a glance of my reflection in it. My eyes were now kinda manga-ish and I moved gracefully like the animations on anime. I smiled. I was so pretty. But the reflection was gone. I stared down at myself in  awe, so caught up in my own imaginations that I didn't notice when someone tapped my shoulder.
     But I did notice when whoever that someone was grabbed me by my shoulders, shaking me hard; and shaking me out of my fantasies. "What?" I snapped, spinning around. I frowned when I saw it was another girl. And I frowned even more when I saw she was surrounded by two body guards.
     The body guards started to advanced on me when the little girl said one word in her high-pitched sweet voice. "Stooooooop!" She held the "o" for quite a bit, then stepped forward to me, grinning
     "Madame Pyka!" body guard #1 whispered in a strained voice. He pronounced it "Pie-ka."
     "Don't worry, Ms. Adile sent word ahead. Look! Here she is!" Pyka beamed, then added a little more sourly: "I've told you a million times, PK will do. Madame Pyka is just too...ugh!" She threw her hands up in exasperation.
     "Yes....PK," both body guards said heavily.
     "So, are you Rue?" PK asked. I took a good look at her. Everybody was manga-styled. PK had on a little black dress with a big simple pink bow around the waist. She had tiny black ballet flats and short pink hair. A huge black bow sat on the top center of her head.
      "Uh...yeah," I responded, "How'd you know?"
      "Oh! That's easy!" She winked, "Ms. Adile and I are very good friends!" She tittered.
      "That's...nice," I said, not knowing what else to say. She gave a knowing nod then grabbed both my hands.
      "I know we'll  both be very good friends! Oh! And call me PK!" She smiled a bright smile, and I couldn't help myself, I smiled back.
