Night was stopped in the hall by a teacher. The math teacher to be exact. She was always out to get him. She didn't believe in people being so silent and so she did everything to get one word out of him. She was talking to him when the halls became empty and then after realizing she was late for her own class she glared at him. She gave him an excuse slip and said practically snapping at him,"Ill see you at Calculus Chris." and stalked off. He growled and crumpled the paper in his hand. No one called him by his real names. Only his true parents. And they had left him. He headed to the art room angerily and when he walked in the teacher looked up surprised. Saying nothing Night droped the crumpled excuse paper on her desk. As he headed to the seat by the window the teacher was about to say something and Night shot her a glance saying don't you try me. He then sat and waited for her to tell them the assignment.

Tenshi once again found her eyes darting over to Night's form. He seemed pissed off at something. Mm...she averted her eyes and returned them to the teacher's form. Why did she care so much anyway? This was completely out of character for herself. Seriously, she could imagine what Salem and Lyna would say if they could see her now. She flipped to a clean page in her sketchpad and started to jot down the requirements for the class.

((the shortness burns...>.>))

Night waited for his assignment to be said and then looked at Tenshi. His eyes ran over her as she took notes and noticed that a small piece of paper was folded on the edge of her desk. Probably more notes. Finally the teacher told them their assignment. Draw a castle. He smiled wickedly knowing he would create the darkest castle ever. He began to get up as others did and he looked at Tenshi but avoided her gaze. He then grabbed two pieces of the paper required and then held one out to her silently.

((okay i did notice that lol okay sorry for my late post i went to sleep for 8 hours and i woke and this happened lol))

Mat looked up him heard the teacher talking to Salem, his stopped breathing for a moment and grinned stupidly. He watched as the teacher talked about moving her if she did somethng wrong. When she sat down next to him he coulodn't help start to make the frog dance that they were suppose to be dissectting today."Hello My Honey! Hello My Baby! Hello Salem!" He sand as me messed up the song real bad when he greeted her. He guessed she wasn't paying attention to him and he didn't care. He noticed that she hasn't looked at him since she sat down, the girls in front of him started to laugh at his little dancing, singing frog. The teacher glared at him, he threw a piece of chalk at Mat's head. He rubbed the spot were it had bounced off his head, he smiled sheepishly as the teacher turnned back towards the chalk board to continue writting with a different piece of chalk.

((hope this is good i am trying to think of something for Lyna))

((lol I love it!))

Salem actually looked at Mat when he started playing with the frog. "Are you serious?" She asked as the little creature danced, though it was short lived as the teacher threw something at the student. "That's disgusting," she said as she put her hand on the side of her face to act as a blinder. The teacher wasn't going to have to worry about her acting up if this was who she was going to have to sit next to. Maybe she would talk to him after class and see if she could get a seat change.

A castle...seriously? A sigh escaped from Tenshi's lips as she got up and then blinked as a piece of paper was handed to her. "Thank...you..." she murmured and took the paper. She moved her sketchpad back into her bag and then placed the paper in the center of her table. She placed her pencil against the paper and then stared at the paper blankly. A castle...She started with sketching out a turret or two and then the front wall. Then some battlements and then...hmmm maybe a cannon here. And oh a catapult here or there would be nice. Then she paused, it didn't have to look realistic did it? The teacher hadn't mentioned anything about that... So Tenshi started to add some ripped tapestries/draperies and chains for decorations. Eventually she got bored and just started to doodle random designs into the castle walls. She never really liked drawing/sketching things besides people much.

((omg so funny XD I had a looney tunes flashback XD))

Night tried smiling but failed yet again when Tenshi took the piece of paper. As he began drawing the dark and looming castle grew more and more sinister. The towers curved and the walls were covered in a curling design that looked menising. The flag that flew from the tallest tower had a sign on it that he created as a signature for all his work. The castle was on the side of a mountain and the naturaly lava and sharp rocks made the place impenatrable except for a small path in which a horse and his princess was riding up on. A guy stood on the ramparts looking over the valley below, his dark persona matching the castle. The sun was setting upon the scene and he sat back looking at his work. It looked pretty good. He added a few more spears along the castle's exterior and a rising gate of steal and smiled to himself. Perfect.

"You used to laugh at it......." He said a little saddly, She has changed alot, he thought to him self. The smile dropped from his face, and he set the frog back up and began to dissect it as the teacher had told them to do. He kept glancing over at her wondering what had happened to her those eight years that she was gone. "Star Fire.....died while you were gone......" He said just as saddly, he watched her for some type of reaction saying that she remembered him and her favorite horse. He knew it was a long shot if she did but he hoped that it was worth it.

Salem's brow furrowed together as she tried to remember that name. It was familiar yet should could not remember it off hand. "Star Fire? Um, I'm sorry?" She questioned, though for some reason she felt that she should say more. Say something better, that name seemed more important than just any other random name. She turned her seat though, to watch as Mat dissected the frog, making no attempt to do any of the work. She thought it was gross, she couldn't remember when she thought cutting open an animal was a good idea.

Tenshi propped her head up in her hand as she regarded her paper, a setting...first she drew a field of grass, then added a cobblestone path and tall weeds. Her castle turned into a broken, abandoned building. Then she added a few dead trees and then shaded in a night sky. Birds of prey perched on whatever space she could fit them on and a lone girl sat on the crumbling castle steps, waiting for a prince who would never return. Tenshi froze and a tired groan tried to make its way past her lips as she rubbed her head, what was she drawing now? She frowned again and then stood up to hand her work in before she drew something else to make herself feel depressed. She stooped and added her signature and the date to the corner of her work, picking up the folded paper as she did so. When she returned to her desk she laid the folded paper on Night's desk and then started to dig through her bag's contents once again.

Night stood and was surprised to see Tenshi despise the folded paper on his desk. He ignored it for a second and was the last to hand in his drawing. The teacher began looking threw them and he took the piece of paper. He was about to look at it when the teacher called his name and Tenshi's. Confused he looked up snd put the paper in his pocket. He walked up to the teacher's desk silently and looked at Tenshi from the corner of his eye. "You two... It's almost as if you were drawing the same thing..." she said and held up the two drawings. It was true. There was many things alike in the two pictures. Night then looked at the teacher questioningly at what she was getting at. "I want you two to do a project together. A town, drawn on this big piece of paper over there, and colored in colored pencils." she said surprising Night. "I want to then enter it in the famous art contest that the town holds every year." she said beaming at them.

((question what is the picture of on the folded piece of paper?))

((okay lyna is just going be going about her classes silently until she meets up with the girls or runs into Zack.))

He looked at her, he looked back down at the frog and started to sepreate the insides on the metal tray next to it."Do you remember?" He asked out of curiousity, he watched her out the corner of his eye, he stopped for a moment and stared at nothing impreticular. He was glad she was back so he turnned towards he and gave her is signiture stupid grin. He pulled the gloves off, and began to fill the work sheet out.

((well considering she can only remember one thing about her childhood right now, when she was dragging Night around by the hand as kids with guitars on their backs which dwarfed them XD))

Tenshi observed the papers for a moment in silence, "Can I give you my reply tomorrow? I will have to ask my bandmates and mother first." Really, it sounded fun but if it cut into practice time...managers can be scary things when they wanted to be. The bell rang then and Tenshi excused herself, music was next, hopefully Lyna and Salem were in that class as well, she needed to talk to them, badly.

((sorry, I ran out of ideas >.>))

"Um, what am I supposed to remember?" Salem asked as she quickly noticed that Mat wasn't working on the frog anymore. "What are we supposed to be writing?" She asked now lost as to what the assignment was. She didn't hiave biology so she didn't know what she was supposed to be writing or what any of this stuff was. She wouldn't let anyone in the class though know. She scooted closed to the boy trying to get a look at his paper to see what was going on.

Night looked at Tenshi and when the bell rang he nodded to the teacher silently. He grabbed his bakcpack and walked out of the class. He head to his locker to dump off his heavy book bag and sighed heavily. Music, then lunch. He would have to ask Zack and Mat about how they were getting threw to the other girls. He then ran a hand threw his hair as he stopped in the band hallway and leaned against the wall. He took the folded paper out of his pocket and looked at it for a long time. A slow smile formed upon his lips and he ran his thumb lightly over the smaller version of Tenshi. Maybe there was hope... He was just happy she remembered that much.

"It is just a group work sheet that we have to fill out after taking care of the frog. Don't worry i put your name on it already. Just me and the ranch, and how we used to hang out alot." He said as he said non-chalantly as he handed her the paper and began to clean the mess up. After he was done he started to toss pop its at the back of people's heads. He laughed when the started to blame the person behind them, he was one of the few people that could get away with a few things in class.

Music...ugh, what kind of sick joke was this? Did she really need to take a class in that subject? Not that she was acting all high and mighty and all it was just a little...weird. She placed her bag into her newly acquired locker and leaned against it, thinking again. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. Her eyes darted over to the time and she sighed before pushing off the lockers and walking slowly in the direction of where the music class was being held. Maybe if she hoped with all her might Lyna and/or Salem would be in the class.

((by the way, what period are all of us in? Tenshi and Night are moving to third period, Lyna is in limbo along with Zack, and are Salem and Mat in first period still?))

Salem took the paper and looked at it as she thought about what this Mat boy said. "You have a farm?" She asked trying not to sound to enthused by it. She didn't have time for an answer, the bell rang. "I got advanced music now, I have to go," she said as she quickly got her stuff and practically ran to the music room. It wasn't too far from her science room, she was able to see that from when she looked at her schedule. She didn't know what to think of this boy though, he was different than all of the others, he seemed to know her, but she didn't know him.

((..Sure magical teleportation to 3rd period XD If that's music for you...))

((XD we have been saying typing whatever "the bell rang" quite a few times XD no one noticed apparently :sweat:))

((Haha yeah my bad XP That's what I get for not being on I guess ^^;; ))

((lol)

Tenshi looked up at the sound of familiar footsteps and grinned, "Salem!" She called out, waving her arm a bit to get her friends attention. Finally! It seemed luck hadn't completely abandoned her, now Lyna just needed to show up...

((so short >.>))

((It's all good ^^))

Salem slowed her pace as she saw Tenshi. "Hey," she said sounding as worn out as she felt. "So how has your day been so far?" She then shook her head and said, "Some Mat kid in my biology class said he knew me. How weird is that?" Salem was hoping that advanced music would really just be her, Tenshi and Lyn, and that would be so much less stressful than her day so far seemed to be.

"SALEM!!! TENSHI!!!!" Lyna yelled as she walked into the class, she searched around and seeing them together. Her jaw drop when she saw an electric piano with a tag, she walked over to it and read it, her name was on it. She got pissed, this had to be some kinda of joke. they wearn't serious about this were they? she tought to her self, she looked at Salem and Tenshi as they were talking together. "They aren't serious are they?" she said as she pointted to the instruments that seemed to have thier names on them. She didn't really have anything interesting to tell them about her day yet.

Salem hadn't really noticed much of the room, but when she saw the instruments she wasn't too happy. "Are they expecting us to teach or give free concerts or something?" She asked as she walked over to inspect the instruments. She would not be happy at all if that were the case. "What the heck is this class supposed to be?"
