Early Fireworks. [Open]

[A. Polyxena]

Andrea’s been practicing how to make fireworks come out from her finger tips since last, last month so she could have something fun to do for this incoming New Year. Plus she always liked how fireworks go up in the sky and explode in bright colors. She’s been practicing in her room or in the dormitory rooftop, but last night the pink robot in the dormitory caught her so here she is now in the Northern woods.

Andrea walked towards an empty clearing. She’s been walking for quite awhile now so she’s really far from the entrance and nosy people lurking everywhere in this damn academy. She arrived in the middle of the clearing, and laid on the snow a mat she used tons of times before.

It was a dull morning. The sun can’t be seen and the clouds gray as ever threatening to let go the snow it’s been holding on. Andrea sat on the mat and for warm-up started to try and making sparks from the point of her point finger. She did it with no effort at all. After a couple of minutes she positioned her right hand like a gun and in the air she shot something up in the air, then bright, blue sparks exploded in the empty sky. Pretty.

[Elyon Brown]

Since,the Christmas season if finally here,she finally have bought gifts for her friends from Central Town.As the blond girl looked up at the sky,there was no sun,only snow falling down from the cloudy sky.Elyon held out her hand and some snow flakes fell on her palm.Great,she was wishing like she can actually shoot fireworks on the sky?Only if she is allowed,that is.New Year is also coming so,she was hoping that she could shoot fireworks in the sky,for sure,she just wanted to.As she was walking through the north woods,going to the dormitory right now,she stopped as she heard something.A booming sound?Kind of but,something like that.No,it was a firework.A firework,huh?We can actually shoot fireworks on the sky?Hold on,she ran back to where she stood from a while ago.As she saw in the sky that it is really,fireworks.

She then,saw a girl .Yes,a girl indeed.A blond girl?Yes,maybe,just a maybe.Maybe that girl is the one shooting fireworks but,hey,maybe it was her Alice,alright.How cool,it reminded Elyon about Tiffany since,Tiffany can shoot sparks?Yes,guess Tiffany can,indeed.Elyon smiled and started to run for the girl,far away from Elyon.Then,she spotted the girl clearly and ran to her,Elyon just wanted to compliment the girl for having a cool and great Alice.Yes,she wanted to compliment the girl,indeed.As she finally sat next to that girl,Elyon opened her mouth to speak but,nothing came out.Talk about being speechless.Finally,words came out from Elyon's mouth.

"Nice Alice you have there."

[A. Polyxena]

Andrea was about to shoot fireworks again from the tips of her fingers to the sky, she wanted to try a red one, when a girl suddenly came out of nowhere. And as if that didn’t surprised Andrea enough, the girl sat down beside her and opened her mouth, but she seemed speechless. ‘O-kay.’ Andrea thought, waiting for the girl to find her voice.

"Nice Alice you have there." She finally said. Andrea smiled. That was kind of her. “Thanks.” Andrea replied. “But shooting fireworks isn’t my alice.” She added not wanting to sound rude or anything. “Anyway, my name’s Andrea. You are?” She asked. Andrea haven’t seen this girl before, so she assumed she might a new student, or she just haven’t seen her all this time.

Bright colorful sparks exploded in the sky, and Drake turned his head upwards to watch with mild interest. He wasn't quite fascinated with things like these- after all, coming from such a wealthy family, he had seen far more better things. But seeing something like this in the snowy gray sky just right on Christmas eve was quite peculiar and charming at the same time.

He walked across the grassy grounds, passing numerous trees and with the little fluffs of snow slowly descending atop him and his surroundings. For this cold day he had chosen to wear something quite different- other than his sweater and pants. Today he was wearing formal clothing, just like what a businessman would in a regular work day. As always, his hair was neat yet untidy, reddish-brown locks falling over his eyes, and the hazel orbs staring sternly onto whatever came his way. His hands were covered with the usual leather gloves- to protect others from becoming victim to his Alice accidentally. On his left wrist was the silver bracelet- a control device in disguise, to stop him from being able to use the full capacity of his abilities.

He heard some conversation transpiring from somewhere behind the trees. It was female, delicate and high-pitched in the making. Girls. And to think he wanted to befriend others other than more girls. He leaned back on a tree when he came into their view, determined to show no interest in what they were doing in the woods.

[Elyon Brown]

Shooting fireworks isn't the girl's Alice?Great,Elyon made a mistake right now.The girl actually introduced herself and her name was Andrea which fits her for sure.Elyon smiled at the girl who was Andrea and then,Elyon introduced herself as well."I'm Elyon Brown.It is a pleasure to meet you."Elyon held out her hand to shake the girl's hands.Anyhow,Elyon saw a figure in a nearby tree and it was a boy and he looks so familiar and as she squinted for a while but,still holding out her hand to the girl,she squinted all the more and finally,she knew who it was and it was Drake.What is he doing in here at this time of day?Maybe he has nothing to do or something but,it was just a maybe.Although,she wanted to approach Drake who kind of leaned back on a tree but,wait,she can't just leave that girl behind without saying a word.

Maybe,Elyon should just stare at Drake for a while since,maybe Drake will be disturbed by her,just a maybe.Now,she was staring back at the girl with a warm smile.The girl named Andrea seems nice and all.It is so cold today and too bad that she did not wear a scarf or anything that will warm up her body,nothing.Elyon shivered for a while and she can't just let her teeth chatter because,of the cold in front of the girl.Seriously,it is embarrassing for Elyon and once again,she will be embarrassed so easily.Her silver bracelet seems to shine and she does not know why but,why did it shine like that?She does not see a sun in the sky either.

Her bracelet is maybe a mood bracelet or something.She doesn't know but,her former friend gave this to her.

[Gray]

Gray found herself lost in the woods that night. She wasn't scared, it wasn't her first time getting lost in the woods. She was watching her feet print marks on the snowy field when beams of colors of different shades flashed above her. She stood there and found herself dazed by the fireworks. A few seconds later when she thought someone was probably near by to have fireworks that big and close to the ground. She started following the where the lights came from and, eventually, though the tall, leafless trees she found two girls. One had light shooting from her fingertips that turned into fireworks, (oh, so that's where it came from) and the other seemed to be talking to the other one. Gray found it rude if she butted in the conversation while the other girl was talking, so she waited. She leaned on the tree next to her and watched streams of fireworks fly from her fingertips.

And then, she noticed something else. A guy. He seemed to be waiting, or watching too. Gray would've loved to have a chat and make other friends than Zaire, but then, she felt lazy to approach him and instead, waited for him to approach her.

[A. Polyxena]

Andrea heard rustles behind her, but before she could see what or who caused it, the girl spoke. "I'm Elyon Brown.It is a pleasure to meet you." She said as she held out her hand for Andrea to shake. Andrea did shake her hand and said “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Elyon. Nice name by the way.” Andrea added smiling at her, but then she noticed that Elyon was staring a something that’s behind her.

She turned to look at it as well, but before Andrea could see what Elyon was staring at, she saw something, or more precisely someone else. A girl, standing lazily next to a tree and was also looking at someone. Andrea followed her stare and saw a guy looking at her and Elyon. Weird?

Andrea faced Elyon once again and asked “Do you know him?” Andrea nudged her head to the guy’s direction, “And what about her?” She pointed at the girl’s direction.

[Touya]

A red hair young man came out from his dorm room. It is pretty bored inside studying. He thought that he might have some rest to get fresh air and ideas while relaxing.

He went out and saw snows from the sky falling. He let out his hand as the snow landed on his hand. It is quite cold but not cold for him. In a cold day like this, the north wood is a good spot to relax. He went to his destination while having an emotionless face. People find it quite scary but he's actually just silent.

"This is the place..."He said to himself while looking at the big forest in front of him. He keep walking forward until he heard some noise. Its not surprising, he saw fireworks came out from this forest, so there might be humans in here.

He stopped when he saw a young man looking at them who seems harmless. He looks like the thugs who's trying to kill the girl from last time in his previous school. He raise his right hand pressing it hardly. Soon, the memory faded away. He let down his hand and saw two other girls. Who is seems quite enjoying themselves. Though he could be seen by them, he doesn't care.

[Elyon Brown]

Andrea then,was shaking hands with Elyon.'It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Elyon. Nice name by the way.'Elyon smiled and replied to her"Thank You."but,Andrea was asking a question'Do you know him?'Andrea asked as she nudged her head to a boy and it was actually Drake,Elyon's "friend-foe".Often times,Elyon is so pissed off by that boy,no offence but,Elyon also befriend him sometimes so,she call her relationship with him as "friend-foe",alright.To answer Andrea's question,Elyon nodded and told her"Yes,he is Drake.".Although,Elyon forgot Drake's real name,indeed.What was it?Hold on,Drake was just his nickname,maybe?'And what about her?'Andrea shot Elyon another question.Obviously,there was an unfamiliar girl nearby but,maybe she is new?Maybe,just a maybe,alright.As a reply,Elyon shook her head since,she does not know who that girl really is.

Yes,there was another boy in the distance and this time,he is unfamiliar as well.This time,it is Elyon's turn to ask a question"Do you know who is that guy?"she pointed to the boy who was kind of unfamiliar to her.The Academy is kind of filled with lots of new students already.Since,it was cold,alright,her hands hugged her knees as she waited for the other girl's answer with a warm smile on Elyon's face,as usual.Although,that boy seems to have an emotionless face right now in Elyon's opinion.While,waiting for Andrea's answer,Elyon still smiled as her eyes were scanning the woods and it seems peaceful and quiet and the ground seems to be covered by the snow which is color white.

[A. Polyxena]

Andrea’s questions weren’t answered when a new guy arrived, this time the guy has red hair. Is this place filled with nosy people as well, or maybe her alice just attracted these people. Not that Andrea mind people, she just doesn’t want being watched without her knowledge. It makes her feel really uncomfortable. Actually she wasn’t even sure that these people came here to watch. There’s only one way to find out. Invite them over.

"Yes, he is Drake." Andrea heard Elyon said. So the name of the first guy was Drake, and Elyon doesn’t know who the girl is since she shook her head. "Do you know who that guy is?" It was Elyon who asked this time. The red head? “Nope, but I know one way for us to know who they are.” Andrea said, and before Elyon could even say a word, Andrea placed both her hands on the cold snow and concentrated.

Then a couple of seconds later three snowman sprouted from the ground below, each three feet tall, two arms made out of branches, eyes made out of black pebbles, nose from a short branch, and a slit for their mouth. They didn’t move or anything, but Andrea leaned on each of the snowman and blew air into the slits. One by one the snowmen came to life. Andrea smiled, the snowmen were actually cute. “I want you to go to those people and invite them over, and don’t take no for an answer.” She said ordering the snowmen. And with that the snowmen left and went to each person telling them one thing. “Our master wants you to join her and her friend.” Over and over again, until the said person will say yes.

[Touya]

Though its quite far, the red hair young man can hear them clearly. And he soon found out that the male that standing behind the trees was Drake. Lucius 'Drake' Von Drae...A nice name for a young man like him.

"friend-foe"

The blond hair girl answered the other girl. A friend foe? It could be meaning something like is a friend, but still, sometimes hates him. Looks like he's quite popular. The red hair young man took his hand out and touch the tree. Touching the tree and stays like that.

"Do you know who that guy is?"

The blond hair pointed to him. The blond hair girl was meaning to ask her friend who he was. Which he doesn't care about it. He let both of his hand in to his pocket and walked away. But something stop him. A snowman appeared.

“Our master wants you to join her and her friend.”

It kept repeating. He walked away but the snowman just kept on following him. He turned around. A bit angry and annoyed. "No."He said. But the snowman just kept on repeating the same line.

"Fine." He finally agreed and went to the girls who's hanging out together. He went there with the same face, a lonely and emotionless face. He stood in front of them.

"Yes? How may I help?" He asked with a bow while crossing his feet. Almost like a gentleman with a formal greeting.

[Elyon Brown]

As Andrea replied 'Nope, but I know one way for us to know who they are',Elyon just nodded but,she was actually confused.What will Andrea do now?Elyon would ask another question but,something stopped her.Andrea placed her hands on the ground all of a sudden and looked like she was focused right now.Will Andrea use her Alice?Kind of since,Andrea looked so focused right now and both of her hands were pressed on the ground.After a few seconds,three snowmen sprouted from the ground below,each three feet tall,two arms made out of branches,eyes made out of black pebbles,nose from a short branch, and a slit for their mouth.Elyon was speechless and just stared at the three snowmen.Was that actually Andrea's Alice?Maybe,for sure.For a while,the the three snowmen did not make a single move at all but, Andrea leaned on each of the snowman and blew air into the slits. One by one the snowmen came to life.Andrea smiled like what Elyon did right now since,the snowmen were awfully cute.

'I want you to go to those people and invite them over, and don’t take no for an answer.' Andrea ordered the three snowmen and with that the snowmen left and went to each person telling them one thing.'Our master wants you to join her and her friend'.Elyon watched the three snowmen leave to fulfill Andrea's order to them.The three snowmen first went to the unfamiliar boy and perhaps,they told the boy'Our master wants you to join her and her friend'but,Elyon overheard that the boy told them'No.'but,the snowmen forced that boy and finally,the boy agreed and went over to Elyon and Andrea.'Yes? How may I help?'the boy asked with a bow while crossing his feet.Elyon was speechless,once again.

[Touya]

The blond hair girl seems speechless. He continue to stare at the girl with blond hair. She seems speechless enough to stare at him if nothing happens. But its okay. He turned to the other girl who was already looking at him. "How May I help?" He asked. But it was trash. She didn't actually answered him.

He felt annoyed. The girl wanted him to come but when he is here, she muted. She didn't say anything. He sigh and put his right hand to his forehead while his left hand under his right hand's elbow supporting it. He closed his eyes thinking of something. Then, he released his hands and turned to the one who uses her alice.

"Do you want to hang out or not? Either each answer is fine with me." He smiled. It was a warm smile with kindness. And too, its pretty handsome. Usually the smile that the girls are hoping to see in his previous school.

[anonymous]

Drake didn't like being stared at- it was one of his incurable traits, really. Fear of other people's stares-- though he was kind of used to that now, so it wasn't really fear.

He adjusted his position on the rough bark, raising his gaze towards the sky, ignoring everybody else. Besides, they seemed to enjoy each other's company. Sort of anyway.

The soft breeze played with his crimson locks, and his clothes that were lying out in the open joined in the sway too. Wonderful. Perfect for a picnic. A sigh.

The gazes he felt were now piercing into his chest, and with sudden anger, he brought his eyes down and glared upon them all.

"What did I do now?" He asked angrily, pissed.

[Gray]

Gray watched other people come in the scene. She, again, waited for them to finish what they were saying before she'd go in to introduce herself. She was new there, she didn't know anyone else besides the other new student. Her head was deep in thought after much observation, but then she didn't notice she had been staring at the boy by the other tree. Frankly, she didn't care, her stares rarely meant anything. But she looked away anyway, that guy might get pissed at her. And if he already was pissed at her, she wouldn't care, not that it'd change anything. Besides, seemed like they were all familiar of each other. She let out a sigh, seeing as how easier it was for them to talk to each other "Sucks to be new" She thought.

She dozed off for a few minutes, well not really asleep but her mind was somewhere else. She was awakened when she saw another man come in, with red hair. Looks like everyone came there for the same reason -- wouldn't blame them, it is a good place to be alone, though it isn't exactly 'lonely' here.

She decided to find someplace else to be...lost in but a little figure came to her. It was a little one, made of snow -- a snowman. It was saying something repeatedly, but she didn;'t seem to notice. She held it with both hands and held it up high. With a smile on her face and a plan on her mind, she announced "You're mine now!" But then that didn't seem possible as it wasn't reacting much but stead saying the same thing over and over again "[Our master wants you to join her and her friend.” It said. "Oh, wow." She puts the snowman down. "Which one's your master?" She asked, but to no avail. She decided to follow it, and as suspected, it led to the others who were there first. She wanted to greet everyone. So she did. "Hi everyone. I'm Gray. I'm new here, hope I'm not bothering." She smiles, a bit uneasy of what she just said. She could imagine them staring or glaring at her, and she'd escape out of the scene. But that wasn't happening yet, so she decided to wait.
