A/N - Capcom owns Megaman Zero. Not me. Now, I hope you all enjoy, also a majority of the OCs belongs to me, except for Ringo, who's my friend's OC.

(1:45 PM)

Zero finished his lunch after a lot awkwardness with Iris and Ringo, especially Ringo. He leaves the cafeteria and goes outside to the courtyard to get some fresh air after that messy situation with Nikan.

He looks at the large tree that resembles cherry blossoms, but it's blue instead of pink, that are on the middle of the courtyard. He looks around to see students talking to each other and minding their own business, which is what he naturally prefers.

He decides to walk to a smaller version of the tree on the right side and looks up at the sky. Passy sits on his left shoulder, and Zero asks her, "What is that tree?"

"That's a Azure Blossom tree." Passy told him, "It is a subspecies of the Cherry Blossoms that is native to the kingdom here."

"I see. So, how did it become blue?" Zero asked her.

"A plant mutation happened. Nobody knows how, but it happened." Passy explained, "They first bloomed when it was a year after the Elf War. People believed the Azure blossoms are symbolism for the end of the Elf war, thus it becomes a national symbol for the kingdom and because the colour is special to Megaman X."

"I see. Any other plants that is rather unique?" Zero asked him.

"Heh, what got you asking all of those flowers?" Passy teased him, "I never thought you're the flower guy."

"It's not that." Zero told him, "I want to learn more so that I can blend in with the other students."

"Fair, fair." Passy understood, "You don't need to know every flower though."

"I know. Just tell me about the normal ones that is native here and everyone knows about." Zero told her.

"Okay. I can do that." Passy said as she nods, "There's one called the Firefly Orchids. They're called that because they tend to glow in the dark. Because of this, they're more common in the park since they were ported from Colombia and it was discovered by a botanist there seventy years ago."

"Interesting." Zero said."

"They come in green or yellow. Those are the most common ones." Passy explained further, "A lot of our flowers were ported from Japan or South America since we are in the middle of those two countries, so seeing exotic flowers and plants is nothing to new to us."

"I see." Zero understood.

"There's one called the blood red Lily, which is basically a red lily that has the same colour as blood." Passy explained. "Some people believed those flowers symbolises the sacrifices made in the Elf War, and a reminder of the horrors in war. It's also a native plant like the Azure Blossom."

Zero listens to Passy as she continues on, as he absentmindedly stares at the blossom tree; looking at the calming and serene blue petals of the tree as summer is approaching rather soon, and he looks at Passy to ask, "By the way, when is the holiday start?"

"July the 10th." Passy answered him.

"Ah, I see. So, I only got around a month left." Zero pointed out, "Honestly... after this shitty day, I'm looking forward to it."

"Of course you are." Passy mumbled as she rolls her eyes.

Just like Ethan, Zero wants to just get straight to the holidays. Then again, that's perfectly normal for a teenager to hate school and wanted to just stay at home during the holidays. Of course, he wouldn't have that privilege once shit truly goes down with Harold.

"I really hope they find Harold soon for the world's and his own sakes." Passy thought.

"H-Hello..."

Zero and Passy looks behind them, to see Dotty hiding behind the tree they're lying against where they are. The blonde boy stands up, which frightens the skittish reploid and blurts out, "I-I'm sorry! I-I shouldn't be here! Good bye!"

"Wait! Hold on!" Zero grabbed his arm before Dotty could run away.

"E-Eep!" Dotty shirked in fear.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. It's okay." Zero told him, "Do you need something?"

"N-No... just... just want to thank you... for earlier..." Dotty thanked him shyly.

"Oh! You were in my English class." Zero remembered.

"... Yeah... not surprised you forgot me..." Dotty mumbled as he looks away to avoid eye contact, "B-But still... thank you for standing up."

"No worries." Zero said, "Is that all you wanna say?"

"Y-Yes! Bye!" Dotty blurted out as he runs off as fast as he could.

This confuses Zero and he looks at Passy where he asks, "Am I that scary?"

"No. He's just naturally skittish and fearful, especially around humans." Passy explained.

"Honestly... can't really blame the guy." Zero understood.

"Yeah. Agreed." Passy agreed in a worried tone.

"But, there are good humans too." Zero acknowledged, "Like Ciel and Gavin."

"The latter is debatable." Passy commented as she rolls her eyes.

"Heh. You really don't like him, do you?" Zero said.

"Well... it's a mixture of like and wanting to rip his head out." Passy admitted, "Don't tell Gavin I said that."

"Heh. Your secret is safe with me." Zero said.

"You better!" Passy said.

"Alright, alright... mmm... I have nothing to do during lunch." Zero said to Passy.

"Most people would either be in some club or talk with friends." Passy said, "Though, it would be obvious you have neither."

"Shut up." Zero complained, and he sighs again, "I guess it's a good idea to join some club so that I have something to do during lunch."

"And actually having friends for once." Passy called out.

"You are not helping." Zero called her out.

"Okay, okay. So, which club do you want to go?" Passy asked him.

"Mmmmm, what clubs are there?" Zero asked her.

"Well, there's drama club, football club, art club, cooking club, music club, science club and many more." Passy explained, and asks, "So, which club do you want to go first?"

"Good question, actually..." Zero mumbled.

Passy looks behind Zero, and says, "Hey Zack. Do you feel like someone is watching you?"

"Huh?"

Zack turns around, and sees a dark haired, female reploid with red eyes, hiding behind a tree. He notices her staring at him, and decides to ask, "Ahem... may I help you?"

"No... you might wanna keep your distance." The reploid answered ominously.

"Okay?" Zero asked while raising his eyebrows, "What's your name?"

"Hwang Hon." The reploid answered,

"Right..." Zero replied. "So, any reason why you were spying on me?"

"Because you are most curious." Hwang hon answered ominously.

"... Why?" Zero nervously asked as he's worried he might of have blown his cover.

"Simple; you caught my attention by getting into trouble on your first day, and managing to face against Nikan and his gang." Hwang-hon explained her reasoning.

"Oh! That!" Zero realised as he mentally sighed of relief, "Simply put, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So, I just risk it without thinking too much."

"... I see. So you just do it cuz it's the right thing to do, Mm?" Hwang-Hon pondered.

"Is it really that strange?" Zero asked her.

"Yes. Most people would keep their heads down and not get involved." Hwang-Hon explained, "Regardless, I have some... business to take care of. Have a lucky day. Hehe..."

She creepily giggled and leaves which baffled Zero and Passy where the two look at each other in confusion.

"Did you understand what she meant by that?" Zero asked her.

"Nope! Never really talked to her." Passy explained, "The only ones I'm familiar with is Iris, Al and Shawn. That's it."

"I see. Makes sense." Zero said, "So, what now?"

"Obviously, look for some clubs, remember?" Passy reminded him.

"Oh yeah! Right! Then let's go!" Zero remembered as the two walks out of the courtyard and look around the large school they're in. 

A/N - Finally! I did it! I'm on holidays for a few days where I come back on Monday, but I will continue writing during those holidays as much as I could since my data doesn't work in foreign countries until I get internet in the place I'm staying in.

Luckily, Notes doesn't need internet, and I stored all of the writing in there in preparation before I went out. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this part and if you did, leave a comment and have a safe day! Aqua out!
