Scalatro and Scorpio were called up to Z's office. Scorpio was glaring at Z, while Scalatro sat expressionless. But she was just as angry as Scorpio was.

Z: "I have a mission for you two personally!"

Scalatro: "Just tell us and let's get this over with."

Scalatro sighs, disapprovingly. Scorpio's face crosses with surprise, hearing Scalatro say that like she was Z's big sister...speaking of big sister...

Z: "Very well, my dearest, Ayla. You two are going into a school, front as siblings. Mission is to kill a male boy, around the third year, by the name Riki Ko."

Scalatro: "Isn't he the son of the man who's the former boss of Fire Star?"

Says Scalatro sounding really bored. Literally, really bored. Scorpio, on the other hand, was on the edge of his seat, nervous and scared of his first undercover mission. Scalatro stares at Z, now with expression, having a slight suspicious look on her face.

Scalatro: "I can do this myself. No need for deadweights."

She mutters, both Z and Scorpio had a surprised look on their faces. Scorpio had felt a twinge of sadness, wondering why he was wanting for a second to do this mission with her in the first place.

Z: "Oh, no. You'd be too suspicious, sweetie. Scorpio, in his report is a 'social butterfly'. He'll cover up your personality, the most."

He smiles kindly, but creepily. Scorpio, felt slightly relieved. The next day he would have to be Ayla's little sister. The names would be given tomorrow.

Hiro: "You serious!? 18!"

Scorpio: "I know, 12! I won't be called Subject 18 by Ayla anymore!"

Hiro: "Yeah...you know what's funny?"

Scorpio: "Hmm?"

Scorpio was trying out his new school uniform. Hiro tried hard not to laugh. He continues.

Hiro: "You've been calling the major 'Ayla' more, you've been talking about why she hates you when you're supposed to be sleeping-"

Scorpio: "Wait, you heard that?"

Hiro: "Dude, I sleep right underneath you, here let me help, you don't need to fold the collar, it's supposed to...yeah, there you go...no the tie...no! You have to...here let me do it."

Despite the fact that Hiro was smaller and younger than Scorpio, he had a lot of knowledge about dress code. Once he had Scorpio wearing the uniform right, he steps back and stares at him.

Scorpio: "...Do I look weird?"

Hiro: "Unusual...like you're headed for prep school."

Scorpio: "No...I think it's a boarding school...we share the same dorm."

Hiro: "Ooh! Sharing a room with the major! Stick her hand in hot water while she's sleeping!"

Scorpio: "No! Why would I?! She'd kill me! Literally! Did you forget who she is?"

Hiro: "No...but you sort of did."

*****

Today was the day of going out to the mission. Scorpio, to make himself feel better, thought that they were literal siblings, and going to school for the first time. His smile grew. Before they left, Z had given them permission to use the showers. Scorpio glanced at Ayla.

Scalatro: "What?"

He didn't say anything. Ayla turned, face front and continued to lead him to the school campus. Scorpio secretly thought that she looked pretty. Apparently, instead of wearing traditional female school clothes, she wore the same clothes he did, adding a black jacket, in late spring.

Scorpio: "Hey...we're here!"

Scorpio stood in awe of the tall, beautiful school. Ayla didn't say anything, her face still expressionless. They enter the school when the bell rang, with a crowd of boys thundering past them. Most stopped, confused with the sight of a girl and a boy walking next to each other.

Scorpio: "Hey, major-? I mean..."

Scalatro: "Scalatro."

Scorpio pauses his thought. He glances back at her. His pen name was Scorpio Hiyachin. Now he knows hers is Scalatro Hiyachin. The name seems to suit her...just something about it wasn't right.

Scorpio: "Um...why're they staring at us?"

Scalatro: "They're staring at me."

Scorpio saw that they were just mostly looking at her with shocked faces. Next to him, Ayla heavily sighs. Scorpio flinches and slowly looks up at her.

Scalatro: "You didn't know, did you...this is an all male boarding school."

She shakes her head, disapprovingly, like she did with Z. Scorpio stared at her in surprise. So Z didn't want her to go there by herself since she was a girl. Scorpio was her cover, not just for personality issues.

*****

They were inside their first class. Scalatro wasn't sitting in a seat, but standing next to where Scorpio was sitting. The entire class was staring at them. This was first period, math class, the teacher, Mr. Hakikasa, and speaking of which, here he is right now...

Hakikasa: "Good morning class."

(students): "Yeah..."

Hakikasa: "As you can see, we have two new students here, would you like to introduce yourselves?"

He didn't smile at all when he said that. He scared Scorpio as much as Ayla did. The two walked up to the front of the room with everyone locking onto them like lasers. Especially on Ayla.

Scorpio: "Uh...my name is...Scorpio Hiyachin."

Scalatro: "Scalatro Hiyachin."

Her voice was ice cold. More imitating than usual. She's setting a reputation, thought Scorpio. She stared straight ahead, face expressionless. Mr. Hakikasa's face had a smirk sliding on. Nobody caught that, except for Ayla and Scorpio. Or should I say Scalatro more...? The rest of the class, Scalatro found was very difficult, and high level. She cursed herself for not teaching Scorpio math beforehand. She, on the other hand, was highly skilled at math. Mr. Hakikasa was clearly impress. Class was soon over.

"I wonder if it's good or bad that Hiyachin moved here."

"Which one? The squirt?"

"Nah, the girl. A GIRL. Here! And she's wicked smart!"

"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised that Mr. Hakikasa's ripping his perfect hair out because of her."

Scalatro didn't show it, but she was laughing inside. The math he gave her was perfectly easy. And it was a good opportunity to teach Scorpio how to do it, and it was a good thing for Scorpio to be a fast learner.

Scorpio: "To be honest, you'd be a better math teacher."

When Scalatro was a Celestial, she was a prodigy when it comes to wisdom. She can figure out what someone's thinking by just touching them, (like someone you know), an extremely fast learner, especially in math, science, and social studies. And you probably know why, being a terrorist has its perks.

Scalatro: "We have science next."

Scorpio: "Oh no...science! Please tell me you're good at science."

Scorpio says in mock horror. Scalatro chuckled to herself, not aloud. Scorpio looked up smiling bright. Her eyes widen a little, but went back to normal.

Scalatro: "Hmm...I don't know...math was so hard...science might be the death of me."

Scorpio laughs, catching the attention of others. Then gives her a look that said, 'if-science-could-kill-you-I'd-be-major'. Scalatro refused to touch him. But knew what he was thinking anyway.
