Do not own SC characters. This is kind of an 'in-between fics' fic. I'm still carrying on A New Era, don't worry. This one is placed in modern times, starring Sophitia and Taki, surprise surprise, lol. This is just about them coping since their backgrounds are so diverse. This isn't a crossover, sorry. The shoujo-ai part won't turn up for a while, but it'll be funny, although this part contains more drama. This story is mostly a drama/humor/romance.
Ages for characters are my main focus for distinguishing each other, not school year ranks so much.
Character ages and school year ranks are:
Sophitia – 19, Junior
Taki – 23, Senior
Mina – 17, Sophomore
Mitsurugi – 23, Senior
(More coming)

Chapter 1: Tribulations
…..'click'….. 'B-ring'
"SacredEmblem12: Hi:) Are you there?" Sophitia waited patiently by her computer screen as she clicked onto her IM. She lived in her own apartment that had the basic living room and kitchen, a balcony that looked over to south of Chelsea in New York City. She had a single bathroom and three rooms; one for herself and two guest rooms even though she lived by herself.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: Of course!:) What did you think I do whenever you pop up onto my screen? Ignore you?"
Sophitia smirked at the reply from the person she loved to speak to everyday, even though she had no idea who this person really was.
"SacredEmblem12: I never expect you to; I know you love talking to me as much as I love talking to you ;)" Sophitia leaned back in what she called her 'business chair' since it was the kind that you by in the desktop section in places like Office Max.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: Very true :)"
"SacredEmblem12: What're you doing now?"
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: Basically babysitting my little sister, although she's the type who believes that she doesn't need to be watched over, which I myself doubt, lol."
"SacredEmblem12: You're just being mean." Sophitia smirked as she wrote her reply.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: I know, I love her to death even though a sixteen year-old can be a hassle ;P"
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: What're you doing?"
Sophitia sat back before she answered, trying to think of a way to word her next sentence right. "SacredEmblem12: Working on my college papers. I'm even meaner than you are by saying this, but when they're done and graded I'm going to burn 'em."
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: LOL. Don't worry; I always think the same as you ;) I'm in college as well. Marymount Manhattan College, it's tedious but workable ;P"
Sophitia raised her eyebrows in surprise. 'She lives in NYC as well?... Hm, small world.'
"SacredEmblem12: Really? :o Wow. I go to New York University, most likely the same as yours with its tediousness." Sophitia spoke the words in her head as if the information was nothing to her.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: :O New York University!! You must have a lot of smarts to get into that one! I'm trying to get into that university myself, believe it or not. I think I just use your library and that's about as close to your university as I can get… whimpers."
Sophitia almost laughed at DragonMistress43's rather pitiful response.
"SacredEmblem12: I'm not that smart, it just takes a lot of work ethic ;) I'm sure you can get further then that anyway . When you get in, perhaps you and I'll be in the same classes." Sophitia grinned and bit her nail slightly as she waited eagerly for DragonMistress43's answer.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: One can only hope ;) I just hope that there isn't as many people that are as abnormally nice (I mean that in a good way, I swear ;P) as you are so that possibly finding you would be easier to distinguish you by :)"
Sophitia tried to hold back her flustered face, even though she was alone, as she read her friend's compliment.
"SacredEmblem12: My, aren't you the little sweet-talker ;P" She smirked as she typed.
'B-ring' "DragonMistress43: Thank you and I meant what I said:) … Ugh, My sister's calling me, I'll chat with you later?"
Sophitia smirked with both mischievousness and excitement for their next meet as she replied. "SacredEmblem12: Of course, just give me a ring on the computer screen. Chat with you later, bye!"
With that she clicked off her IM box after she'd seen her friend's reply of "Good night." She stretched her back before she made her way through her living room while making sure that she wouldn't hit the leg of her cherry oak coffee table like she usually did due to her carelessness.
Coming to the balcony, she looked over the city lights like she did almost every night. There wasn't much since she faced the southern part of NYC, but the night sky above the roofs of the duplexes and apartment complexes was always a beautiful sight to see.
She sighed as she felt the light breeze caress the side of her face. She crossed her arms and leaned onto the metal railing of the balcony. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, that she knew. The reason being was that the only part about going to the community university library that she hated was going to show up yet again.
"That Asian girl…" Sophitia spoke to no one in particular as she blinked slowly. "Is going to get on my nerves one of these days." She raised her head to the twilight sky as she spoke in a low voice.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888
The next day the bell rang at just the right moment for Taki. She was just about ready to surrender to the idea of letting her head fall upon the desk due to utter sleeplessness. She left her most hated class, Trigonometry, with her old boyfriend Mitsurugi, who is now just her best friend who just basically helps her and gives her advice if needed.
Mitsurugi wore what he usually did; light, baggy blue jeans held up by a thick leather belt. He left his blue and white plaid-like collared shirt unbuttoned for the purpose of revealing his sleeveless white shirt beneath.
"Have any sports meets today, Taki?" Mitsurugi asked while only glancing at Taki as they walked down the wide white-walled hallway with tall teal-green lockers only on one side.
"Luckily no." Taki spoke with a long sigh as she repositioned her books within her arms.
"Luckily? I thought your sports were your favorite part of school." Mitsurugi looked at her longer this time as he gave her a look of slight confusion.
"It is, but I have enough homework as it is so I have to go to the library I always go to and I have to sign up for some things to try and get into the university I want to move to. I have to take another entrance exam." Taki stated simply as she fixed the collar of her cranberry-colored half-buttoned cotton shirt and looked down at her long blue jeans just after.
Mitsurugi paused for a brief moment. "Well, at the rate that you're going with classes, I don't think your chances of getting into that university are the best." He stated with a raised eyebrow as he looked down to the navy-colored carpeting.
Taki looked at him with an expression of slight scowl. "Well thank you for your positivism." She spoke sarcastically which matched her smile as she came to her own locker. Mitsurugi leaned onto the lockers next to her.
"Hey, I'm just saying that besides your domination in sports, I suggest that you do other things." His deep almond eyes softened at her, even though she didn't look back at him since she seemed all too busy in stocking her locker up with books again. "You're such an aloner Taki, you hardly ever socialize with anyone besides me. I don't think you even socialize with your track, fencing, basketball or tennis teammates!" He added in a tone as if he was stunned just by that little fact.
When he noticed that Taki didn't even look like she cared about what he said he just rolled his eyes in annoyance and sighed silently. "What I said about your chances of moving into the university, I only said that because I didn't want you to get your hopes up if your class participation records indeed true. And I'm only saying that maybe you need to get yourself a real life." He spoke in a soft tone as if he thought his words were redeeming.
Taki's dark wooden orbs snapped to his and had a look on her face as if she was about to growl at him. This was the reason she had left him in the first place; his 'I'm more of a life-liver than you are' talk and sometimes negative responses to her really rubbed her the wrong way. He was just too forward about how she lives her life at times and sometimes kind of a control freak as well.
What she hated most about his attitude was that he would always remind her of the negative things about her academic life, as if she wasn't going through enough what with sports, her somewhat large family, and getting into the top university in New York. Her life was strenuous enough without needed a reprise from her only friend in her community college.
"Well you have an odd way of showing your 'support'!" Taki spoke in a somewhat harsh tone as she lowered her eyebrows. Her anger-filled eyes went to her backpack as she filled it with the necessary books. "And by the way, somebody who watches 'Samurai Jack' on Cartoon Network says that I should get a life?!" She threw her backpack over her shoulder as she shouted at Mitsurugi, who looked furious at that remark although Taki could see his not-very-well-hidden blush.
"Hey, my thirteen year-old cousin is the one who watches it not me! And that's none of your business anyway!" He retorted, his light blush expanding slightly and his nostrils flaring with anger.
"Then stay out of mine!" Taki shot back, fuming as she strode passed him, only to be grabbed by the arm and pulled closer to Mitsurugi. She stubbornly struggled against his grip with gritted teeth but stopped as she saw the softness in his eyes.
"Alright, alright. You've made your point. You're life is your own business, truce?" He asked in a soft tone and his usual charming facial expression of a sly smile and a raised eyebrow.
Taki softly pulled her arm away from Mitsurugi's as she looked down and shifted the weight of her backpack on her shoulder. "Fine." She looked back up to him with a smirk. "I thought you learned your lesson last time when you struck a nerve of mine."
Mitsurugi rubbed his cheek with his hand and seemed to wince. "Oh don't worry; your lesson is still there." He smiled sarcastically but Taki could tell he was doing that just to be funny. Taki chuckled as she continued to walk back towards the front doors of the college with Mitsurugi at her heels. He stopped as he noticed that Taki was going in a completely different direction then him; which to him was an unusual thing. "Not taking the subway?" He asked as he pointed in the direction of the stairs leading underground.
Taki smiled brightly as if she was excited. "Nope, I'm going to take my pride and joy." She answered in a rather giddy sort of way.
"Oh, so you finally got it eh?" Mitsurugi raised his eyebrows as he smiled in slight surprise.
"Yep, years of babysitting my younger siblings really pay off." She turned to the parking lot, excited grin still upon her face. "See you tomorrow." She waved behind her back, not seeing Mitsurugi's small wave in return.
Taki dug out her keys for the 'new best friend in my life' toy and looked longingly at it as she came closer to her new Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, which looked like it was begging to go back onto the road. It had vibrantly dark red as the dominant color and deep purple was the color of the parts of its frame that curved inward. She lovingly spray-painted two long, golden scaly dragons with silver spikes along their vertebra upon it, which to her made it 'complete'.
She swung her leg over the seat and put on her 'specially chosen' red and black MX helmet and shut the dark visor over her eyes. Though how excited she was about riding her toy again she scowled slightly as she reality of going to the library came to her as she swerved between the light traffic.
88888888888888888888888888888888888
"Is there not a day when you're not here?"
Sophitia looked over her shoulder, away from her bookwork which she set upon one of the many long tables of the university library, to find Mina with an amused smirk on her face as she took a seat next to her higher-classman.
"Basically." Sophitia returned simply as Mina dropped her two books textbooks upon the table, which was a small amount compared to the stack that Sophitia had next to her.
Mina had her hair up in a ponytail and had a rather simple attire on, which was a white short-sleeved shirt underneath a turquoise Old Navy zipped-up vest and dark blue track pants. This was a rare thing for Sophitia since they were in a lot of each other's classes and she knew Mina had the tendency to flirt when the students had nothing to do for the final five minutes of class.
Of course Sophitia had a very simple wardrobe; almost dark blue, tight-fitted hip-hugger and long pant-leg bellbottoms (or normal skirts that she saves for summers) and any shirt just as long as it was either a v-neck or had buttons to adjust the shirt herself. She chose to have her hair that framed her face pulled back into a crème-colored tie.
"How long are you going to stay here this time?" Mina asked as she carelessly flipped through the pages of one of her own books. Sophitia eyed her large stack of books for a moment.
"I really don't want to estimate." She raised an eyebrow as she spoke, making Mina snigger slightly.
"I wouldn't want to either." Mina turned her full attention to Sophitia as she leaned her cheek on her elbow. "Are you going to sign up for the University Exchange?"
Sophitia immediately pulled back slightly in confusion. "The what?"
"You didn't hear? The only person who actually pays attention in class didn't hear?" Mina stated sarcastically with a tone that sounded as if she was shocked, although her grin could clearly be seen. She continued after Sophitia gave her a fake laugh. "Students who have constant high honors in schools like New York University can have someone from a community college come over to live with them."
"Isn't that kind of odd? To have a complete stranger live with you just so that they can know more about what NYU is like?" Sophitia spoke as if the idea of the 'University Exchange' was quite idiotic.
"Well it's only the people from community colleges that are willing to live with another person. I hear you get to meet the person before you actually decide whether you want to keep doing it or not." Mina informed as if she had read the full description of the 'University Exchange'.
"Why are you asking me whether I want to or not?" Sophitia asked rather suspiciously. Mina averted her gaze to the textbook, but didn't read it.
"Oh I was just wondering since you're basically the valedictorian of the class, maybe you'd like to help a poor little soul out." Mina stated simply although Sophitia could tell she was holding back a grin. "And who knows, maybe you'll get hooked up with a cute guy." Mina glanced at her friend at the corner of her eye.
Sophitia looked away as if she wasn't interested. "Heh, no thanks, they'll just waste my time."
"You always say that!" Mina looked at her with eyes wide with disbelief as if Sophitia just suddenly annoyed her. "Should I count how many good-looking guys have asked you out yet you always turn down!?"
"Should I remind you that I don't care and that I just want to focus on getting through the rest of my school years?" Sophitia replied in her defense.
"Well, why not try signing yourself up on the 'exchange' thing and make it a bit more worth while for you?" Mina pried yet again. "And besides, today's supposed to be the last day to sign up." She informed.
"I'm not going to do it." Sophitia stated simply as she opened another textbook to try and focus on what needed to be done but Mina started in again and so the two kept continuing their debate that they thought they'd never settle.
88888
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Sophitia groaned in defeat as she sat in front of the computer and signed the form on the website. Mina smiled rather triumphantly behind her.
"I knew the thought of the honor of receiving another school credit for doing this would be your downfall." She stated with a grin as Sophitia had finally finished. Sophitia turned to her and replied with a dull growl.
Sophitia was about to open her mouth in defense as well as protest until their discussion was disrupted as a whole group of students started talking near the library's entranceway, which was being blocked from the curious two by the fact that they were on the second floor of the circular library.
Mina's curiosity got the better of her as always as she walked to along the scarlet carpeting of the library and looked over the railing and down to the ground floor. She noticed Sophitia next to her as she looked down. They watched as students began to crowd around a woman who looked of oriental blood. They had no idea why she came to their library since she didn't go to their university, but then again they often didn't recognize other people that came to their library either.
The woman looked as if she was enjoying what the students were saying to her, which the two could barely make out as 'congratulations' for something. Sophitia scowled; this was just what she was waiting for since the day before when she was out on her balcony. It wasn't jealousy she was feeling, that she knew; it was just annoyance. This woman would get about the same treatment everyday and it irritated Sophitia after a time.
The crowd slowly dispersed as the woman made her way through to one of the computers on their second level.
"Hm, wonder who she is?" Mina spoke to mostly herself as she leaned against one of the many tall dark wooden bookshelves and stared at the girl, who seemed quite intent as she kept her eyes on the trees on the screen.
"I think it's 'Taki'." Sophitia spoke up behind her, keeping her emotionless eyes upon the woman. Mina turned to Sophitia with curiosity on her face.
"The 'sporty' girl? You mean she's the one who keeps beating her college's sporting records?" Mina pointed at her with her thumb with a look of surprise on her face.
"I suppose. I've overheard a little bit about her when I stayed here during later nights." She explained simply.
"I see." Mina looked back over to the woman supposedly named 'Taki'. "Do you want to talk to her?" Mina turned to her with a rather cocky look on her face. "Or would you rather work on your homework?" She asked with a voice matching her cocky face.
Sophitia raised an eyebrow. "You even dare asking those questions?" With that she turned to go back to their original table. Mina smirked, knowing Sophitia was going to reply that way.
888888
It was beginning to irritate Taki how fast the night sky came yet she was relieved as she had finally finished with her late report. Logging off and shoving her books back into her backpack, she then after threw her backpack over her shoulder once again. The night's darkness poured into the room from the large windows that were close to the ceiling. The only light of the room came from the streetlights outside and a few lamps that were placed upon the long tables for people who stayed as late as she did and later were still on.
'I wish people wouldn't crowd around me so much when I just walk through the door here; it's embarrassing.' Taki complained in her head as she headed back through the bookshelves to the stairs to the ground floor. 'I mean Kami! You'd think they'd never seen a person run around the track once let alone beat a time! Beating times aren't that important to me anyway, I just like the challenge of beating myself and making myself better let alone the whole school. So what if I play more sports than almost all of my class? It doesn't mean they have to crowd around me.'-"Oof!"
Taki's train of thought stopped as she felt herself run straight into someone who had just turned around the corner of a bookshelf. They both seemed to have been walking so fast that when they ran into each other they had nearly fallen over as they grunted slightly on the impact.
"What were you doing? Counting how many medals you've one?" The girl who seemed younger than her asked cynically as she hugged her books to her chest. Taki's eyes snapped to her face as it was semi-lit by what little light there was. She looked at the blonde in surprise at what she had said, her face morphed into a scowl.
"No, I wasn't for your information." Taki stated in a low but harsh voice then leaned toward her slightly with narrowed eyes. "And what business is it of yours anyway? How would you know me so well as to say something like that?"
"I've seen all that I need to see down there by the entrance." She stated as she pointed to the ground floor where all the students had gathered around her. She strode passed Taki to place her books within the shelves.
"What? Do you think I used some 'call' to make them flock over to me?" Taki asked skeptically as she followed her. The girl turned to look at her with no hint of emotion in her eyes then turned back to continue. Although there was just enough light that laid upon her face for Taki to just barely recognize it. "You… you're the bookworm that's in here at the same times as me." Taki thought aloud.
The girl sharply turned to her and scowled at her. "Firstly, I'm not a 'bookworm', my name's Sophitia! And secondly, I'm in here almost every day! It's you that suddenly shows up all the time." She jammed the last of her books harshly into the shelf as she finished. Sophitia strode past Taki again to grab her bag.
"Well then I'm sorry my lifestyle displeases you, I'll try very hard next time so that it suits your fancy, 'Ms. P-E-R-F-E-C-T'." Taki spoke in such a cocky manner that Sophitia looked like she desperately wanted to throw a book at her. "Now, let me have the honors of departing so that my ways and air won't pollute yours. Gods know that we wouldn't want to completely shatter your perfection." Taki finished as she strode over to the entrance, fuming but glad that she got in the last word. She sighed as she walked through the doorway.
"The next time you count your medals, make sure that the medals you're counting are real, jock!!"
Taki sharply turned with wide eyes as she heard Sophitia's voice and was about to go back in to put her back in her place but the doors shut before she could go in. The stopped herself from opening the door, knowing that matters would only get worse if she did. She clenched her fist with rage until her knuckles were bone-white, then slammed her fist into her hand to try and release some of it.
She breathed out as much rage as she could, seeing as to how driving with road rage is a bad idea, especially when you ride a motorcycle. 'Surely my friend can bring me out of the after-effects of this little experience.' Taki thought to herself as soon as she thought she was sane enough to ride her toy through the streets that usually have more cars upon it during the night.
8888888888
"DragonMistress43: You there?"
Taki hoped to high heaven that her friend would reply as she laid her rather bulky laptop on her lap as she sat in her love-seat couch and put her feet up on the brown oval-shaped coffee table.
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: Lucky you, you just got me through the door :)"
Taki sighed silently in relief. "DragonMistress43: How's your day been?"
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: For the most part I can't really complain, of course by the end of the day it kind of crashed and burned."
'That's how I feel.' Taki thought to herself as she typed her reply. "DragonMistress43: That's basically how mine went as well."
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: Really Oo? What happened to you?"
"DragonMistress43: An argument that I didn't expect, to put it simply. You?"
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: I ran into somebody I didn't really like, so without even 'Hello's we basically engaged in an all-out war."
"DragonMistress43: That's what my argument was like. Strange coincidence eh?"
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: Anything can happen I guess."
"DragonMistress43: Yeah, I guess, I just wish less would happen to me."
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: lol, I always think that."
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: I signed up for something called a 'University Exchange' today."
Taki raised her eyebrows in surprise at this. "DragonMistress43: I did that as well, I'm going to be living with the honors student."
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: I'm going to be the person who is going to let the person live with me. I'm a little uneasy about it, but my friend made me and she thought it was okay. Maybe you'll end up with me :)"
Taki smiled at the idea. "DragonMistress43: I would enjoy that:) I really would."
'B-ring' "SacredEmblem12: Me too :)"
Taki could literally feel her heart begin to feel warm at her friend's agreement as she tried to think of another good reply.
888888888888888888888888888
The next morning which, luckily for Taki was a Saturday, so Taki had the pleasure of sleeping in. Of course her relaxing sleep was unforgivably disrupted as her younger sister, Sakura who went to high school, jumped on top of her yelling Taki's name excitedly.
"Sakura!" Taki scolded although it was mostly in a groan. "You know, you have to stop doing this eventually. I mean, what if somebody was with me?" She raised an eyebrow at her long ebony-haired sister who also had purple streaks in it due to her rather extreme love of anime. Even though they moved to New York and lived there for almost five years, her youngest sister chose to have her love for anime and manga to show.
Sakura merely cocked her head to one side. "At this point, that's kind of unlikely." She spoke simply as she began to fidget for and look around for something on the sheets. Taki's eyes went wide at her sister's reply.
"And just what is that supposed to mea-?" Taki stopped as Sakura finally found what she was looking for: a long and narrow envelope. "What's this?" She asked as she took the envelope and looked at Sakura suspiciously.
"How should I know? It's your mail." Sakura stated as she got off the bed and headed for the door. She suddenly turned back to Taki with her hand on the door frame. "And by the way, Haitani wants to ask you for some sort of favor; something about magazines. He's waiting for you in the kitchen, so hurry it up." And with that, Sakura left to the kitchen.
Taki rolled her eyes at what her sister informed her to do. 'Ugh, wonderful, this is just what I need on a perfectly good Saturday. My perv of a younger brother is probably going to ask me to hide his dirty magazines from father again.' Taki scowled with annoyance at the thought as she ripped open the envelope.
Her eyebrows rose with intrigue when she saw that the letter was approving her admission into the 'University Exchange'. What had her even more surprised was that they had already chosen who she was supposed to live with.
Her eyes widened as she froze in horror at the name that was listed for her in highly noticeable italic letters: 'Alexandra, Sophitia.'
888
"WHAT!?!?" Sophitia choked on her morning tea as she read the name that she now despised on the letter from NYU's 'University Exchange'. "T-T-Taki!? Oh please no. Please let that be a misprint." Alas, Sophitia knew that her own university, which handled thousands of students a day, would never mistype a single name.
She whimpered at her own misfortune as she bent her head back and crumpled the letter within her hand. "How am I possibly going to survive at all with that jock even knowing that she's going to be in the same apartment as me all day?" She groaned as she ran a hand through her hair at the top of her head, massaging her scalp as if she was already getting a migraine.
"I have to call Mina and hopefully she can help me get out of this." Sophitia spoke as she ran hastily towards the phone at the edge of the kitchen counter.
888
Taki walked listlessly into the kitchen that was full with her rowdy brothers, sister and single father.
'Great… Just great… I get stuck with her.' Taki complained in a low tone in her head as she walked through the kitchen, ignoring her arguing siblings. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see her younger, curved yet thickly-spiked haired brother, Haitani.
"Hey Taki, I… erm… whoa… what happened to you last night?" He raised an eyebrow at her condition when he looked into her eyes; she looked extremely aggravated and was ready to kill anyone who would rub her the wrong way. "Couldn't sleep?"
Taki moved her jaw to one side in a grinding motion and tried to smile as she replied. "Nothing of your concern." Taki put her hand on the refrigerator door handle. "What do you want?" Taki asked in a careless tone. "I'm not hiding your… 'treasures'… again." She warned in a low voice as she took the carton of milk and headed for the cupboard for a glass.
"Please! I'm beggin' you! Dad threatened he's going to burn them. Just put them under your bed until he's not so hot-headed, please?" Haitani pleaded with both hands clasped together as he nearly kneeled down on the floor.
Taki sighed at his puppy-dog eyes and looked away to continue on what she was doing. "Fine; I won't be here anyway." Taki stated as she took her glass into the living room.
"Really now?" Her father heard that last sentence and suddenly came in with a tone of intrigue. He watched her sit down onto the couch of the family room across from the kitchen.
Taki sighed again; this was going to be a long story.
888888888888888888888
"You called her a what?" Mina asked over the phone with a raised eyebrow. She was quite surprised at the coincidence of Taki and Sophitia ending up being 'University Exchange' buddies.
"A 'jock'." Sophitia put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes as she answered. "I just threw it in as a last remark. I mean it fits her anyway because she's just all into her athletics and a 'jock' is basically a football or basketball athlete. It just popped into my head and it worked at the point!" Sophitia rambled, trying to get her point across.
"Well you ought to try and figure out a way of making things better for you two. You're supposed to meet at the library we always go to." Mina paused. "I would go if I were you, I mean, what if she still wants to bunk with you nonetheless?" Mina asked as if she was really thinking of it as a possibility.
Sophitia blinked as she thought Mina's possibility over. "If she's willing to live with me and is willing to take this seriously, then I'll… let her stay." She sighed. "When are we supposed to meet?"
"Monday." Mina informed simply.
"Alright. I'll try my best to get along with her." Sophitia promised as she leaned back on her couch.
"I certainly hope so; 'cause with what you told me about your fight with her, I might need to buy some war helmets." Mina noted with a grin.
Sophitia laughed. "Build some trenches and barbwire fences while you're at it." Sophitia grinned as Mina laughed at her note and said goodbye. She sighed as she hung up the phone and ran her hand down her face. "This is going to be fun." She noted sarcastically as she looked up towards her balcony. "I hope DragonMistress is having better luck than I am."

The next couple of chapters will have a lot more humor in them, so hang on. I hope you liked this one. Some of the scenes that I'll use I got the idea from the manga 'Love Hina'.
