Lunch Time...

Scalatro: "Here, your lunch. You forgot it at home."

Scorpio: "Oh...uh, thanks."

Scorpio looks inside the bento box, given by Scalatro. He secretly thought it was very uncharacteristic for a Terrorist Queen to give him a food-filled bento box...but with exception of the ironic fact that there was a red scorpion on the lid. He opens it, and was happy at the sight of rice, meat, fruit...more specifically on the fruit...rabbit ear apples. He immediately dived for those.

Scorpio: "I love these!"

Scalatro: "Figured. Stop screaming."

Her words caught him slightly off guard. As a terrorist, he can catch little details really easy. Sometimes he wish he couldn't...other times it was really useful...when he can remember them that is.

Scorpio: "Figured...huh."

Scalatro: "What about it?"

Scorpio: "Uh, did you prepare the lunches?"

He takes a glance at Scalatro's bento box. It had mostly rice, eggs, and an apple, and for drink, she had water, while he had apple juice.

Scalatro: "...yes."

Scorpio: "...Here. Rabbit ear apple."

Scalatro: "I already have an apple."

Scorpio: "And nothing but that...plus eggs and rice! You don't even have meat! Here, at least eat the bacon!"

Scorpio shoves the piece of bacon to her mouth when she was about to say something. She glares at him icily, and Scorpio draws his hand away, expecting the bacon he was holding to come with him. But instead to snapped in half, with the one she had, she ate.

Scorpio: "Huh? I thought you didn't want bacon."

Scalatro: "Exactly, why not?"

Scorpio: "What...?"

Scalatro: "You said you thought I didn't want bacon. Sadly, I'm not you."

She picks up her chopsticks and starts on her eggs and rice, eating them together. Scorpio eats the rest of his food hungrily. Apparently the lunch period was longer than Scorpio though. Way longer. Around 25 minutes, where his regular lunch periods are only about 5 minutes. He started to like this school. Once they were done, they threw their trash away and headed to their next class.

Scalatro: "Music...subject, singing..."

Scalatro's voice trailed off in embarrassment, her face had maybe lost the ability to blush, perhaps, but she fairly didn't have much courage for singing. She had never sang before. She glanced at Scorpio. She knew well as ever that HE has never sang either. They looked at each other in either disgust, or disappointment. Neither of them wanted to do this.

Scorpio: "Can't we just skip the class?"

Scalatro: "No...above all else, we need to go to this class. The boy we're looking for shares that only class with us."

Scorpio held his breath as they entered the elegant and spacious music room. Instruments were place on one wall of the room, which most people were taking from. Scalatro goes over and takes a violin from one of the stands. Scorpio stares in surprise and whispers to her.

Scorpio: "I didn't know you played the violin..."

Scalatro: "Now you do."

Scalatro gave herself a mental pat on the back. She had requested a violin for the mission when it had started. Apparently the fact that they were singing just threw her off. She sat next to Scorpio adjusting the music sheets on her stand. Scorpio was shocked on how many eighth notes and sixteenth notes were on the sheet. He wasn't much of a music person, but knew that was going to be hard.

Scorpio: "Uh...what're we playing?"

Scalatro: "According to the sheet...'Snow Fairy'?"

They both appeared not to know what the song Snow Fairy was, but next to the composer read that it was from an Anime called 'Fairy Tail'. Scalatro then knew what it was, but didn't tell Scorpio.

Music Teacher: "Now that everyone is set up, I can see we have two new students! Let me see here...Scalatro and Scorpio Hiyachin! Welcome!"

Scalatro: "Thank you."

Music Teacher: "I am glad that one of you can play the violin. Now...Scorpio is the boy?"

Scorpio: "Y-yes...ma'am?"

Music Teacher: "I would like you to be up here with the choir to sing!"

Everyone fell silent, most past-class faces stared at Scorpio in disbelief of him singing. Feeling completely horrified, Scorpio walked up to the corner of one of the risers, he didn't want to look at the crowd. Instead he stared straight at Scalatro. It hurt him for some reason that she looked like she didn't care. Lyrics in hand, Scorpio tried to sing along with the rest, blending in. He watched how graceful Scalatro was on the violin, it was like she was perfect in any note she played. Almost as if...she had played the violin before. Sometime, maybe, before he came in.

Scorpio: "Uh...'You put all the best in me like some kind of magical spell, a guy like me...could've been laughing right about now...'"

He saw Scalatro singing along...her voice, despite the noise, was the only thing he could hear.

Scalatro: "'And all it would've taken from you...is that simple, imperfect smile...you are now...my lone fairy.'"

The song continued...longer...easing both Scalatro and Scorpio's worries. Scorpio thought he had imagined it, but he thought he had saw...Scalatro smile. It looked so sad, his mind went back to when she was on the verge of tears. He wondered what she was thinking. Finally the song ended.

Music Teacher: "That was wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! It sounded better with a new violinist and singer! You two were marvelous!"

Scalatro: "That music teacher's starting to sound a bit to melodramatic..."

???: "You think so? But she has a point there, you guys were amazing."

Scalatro looked to her side and saw an attracting boy with brown hair and unusual silver eyes. But that was not really unusual considering Scalatro's eyes were crimson red. Yet nobody had been surprised of it...or are they just hiding it...

Scalatro: "...Thank you. And you are?"

Riki: "Riki Ko, I'm a violinist too."

He sets down his violin for her to see. She shows him hers...the glossy wood was tinted a dark shade of red. Scalatro stares at him, expressionless. This is the man Z wanted exterminated. Scorpio watched from the risers, as Riki talks to Scalatro.

Riki: "Nice violin, where did you get it?"

Scalatro: "My father."

Riki: "Really? Same here! Except...I can't tell him thanks. I wish I did when I had the chance...but..."

Scalatro: "He's dead, isn't he."

 Riki: "Yeah...died in a car wreak when I was in school. Is your father still alive."

Scalatro: "Yes."

Riki: "You and him get along well?"

Scalatro: "Of course."

Riki: "Yeah...huh, not much of talker are you?"

Scalatro: "You're a 180."

Riki: "Eh? Well, I guess I am."

Scalatro was really disappointed that this was the son of the man, which used to be the boss of an opposing threat of the Black Crows. She stared at him hard. Then she puts her violin away, and Riki hurries to follow. The exit the class and get ready to go to P.E.

Riki: "Hey! We even have the same P.E. class."

Scalatro: "So it appears."

Riki: "So this is your little brother? Hello, my name is Riki Ko."

Scorpio: "Knew that."

Riki: "Just like your sister...not much of a talker."

He sighs sadly. Scalatro and Scorpio exchange a disappointing glance. They were both annoyed about how the Fire Star heir turned out to be like. Later, all the boys had sat down in the gym, waiting for Scalatro to come. She comes last and takes a seat in between Scorpio and Riki.

Gym Teacher: "Ah, so it was true, we have a female in our admits. And a new kid. Welcome."

Scalatro: "Thank you."

After a well-played-over-and-over-again introduction, they began their class. They were in the middle of their soccer unit, and as expected from Scorpio, Scalatro was a professional at the sport. Him, on the other hand, was doing terrible.

Gym Teacher: "Where are you going?! You're right field!"

Scalatro was placed on the opposite team of Scorpio with Riki. She was the goalie. He was on right field.

Gym Teacher: "Goal for red team! Nice one, Ko!"

Riki: "Scalatro! I gotta goal!"

Scalatro: "Indeed you did."

Scalatro had barely moved from her spot. All she had to do, was stretch her arm out and grab the ball. If necessary, she'd kick the ball into the other net. And sometimes hitting the opposite goalie. Once P.E. was over it was time to go home. Scorpio went to the front after everyone left and wondered where Scalatro was.

Scorpio: "I...I hope she didn't leave without me..."

It was nearly nighttime and a beautiful sunset painted itself across the sky. Scorpio looked up at it in awe. He had never been out on the surface for this long, and was slightly happy that Scalatro was hopefully late.

Scorpio: "But seriously though...where is she?"

*rustle, rustle*

Scorpio: "...?!"
