"Here we are in a brand-new world!"

"Listen, puff ball, do you have to say that every time? We know we're in a new world already!"

"Syaoran-kun, you're still holding my hand."

"Oh! S- sorry, princess!"

"And how many times do I have to tell you to work on those landings, pork bun? Get back here!"

"Aah! Syaoran-chan, Kurgy's being mean!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"Kurogane-san, wait-"

"Oh, my," said Fai, looking around. The others stopped and looked, too, frozen in place.

Curiously, 'frozen in place' was a phrase that could also be used to describe the sixty or so students in shorts and T-shirts staring at the strange group of travelers that had suddenly appeared in the middle of an otherwise normal game of mat ball. One of them had stopped mid-roll, even.

"Congratulations, Mokona! I believe this is the first time we've landed inside anywhere," Fai said. His voice echoed through the huge gym.

"Holy. Freaking. Crap. Ler, wake up," one of them suddenly said. A girl with short black and blonde hair crouched over the body of her friend, who had apparently fainted. "Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler. Ler." Each 'Ler' was accompanied with a poke and finally a swift kick to the stomach. Her friend groaned and sat up groggily.

"Mum, I don't wanna go to sch- HOLY FREAKING CRAP!"

"I KNOW, RIGHT?"

"Um…" Syaoran stuttered nervously while the two girls clung to each other and squealed. "Mokona, maybe we should le-"

"NO!"

Both girls suddenly launched themselves at Syaoran, bowling him over and pinning him down firmly.

"You can't leave!" said one, the girl called Ler.

"Ever!" proclaimed the other.

"No, they have to leave eventually. Sakura-chan needs her feathers," Ler pointed out.

"Oh. Right." The girl thought about this. "Well, you have to stay for a while! You just got here!"

"I- what?" stuttered Syaoran, extremely flustered.

"You can't leave!" they both shouted at the same time. Syaoran nodded weakly, cheeks burning bright red.

"Ara! Ler! Get away from those people!" the voice of an adult in power echoed loudly as someone Fai assumed was the girls' teacher stormed across the gym, accompanied by a narrow-eyed woman in a blue police uniform. The two girls leapt up and stood at attention. "What do you two think you're doing?"

The two girls shared a quick glance, exchanging an unknown amount of information. Ara finally stepped forward and spoke.

"It's okay, Mr. Denton! They're just visiting me and Ler… actually, they're here to pick us up," she added slyly.

"Campus passes," the cop demanded, holding out her hand. Syaoran and Kurogane exchanged their own long glance. Fai just tilted his head to the side and smiled sheepishly.

"Ah, yes. About that. It seems we forgot. As you can see, we're not from around here, so we're not really familiar with how things work. We're sorry to have caused all this trouble."

The cop's eyes narrowed even further. Mr. Denton suddenly seized his students, dragged them away from the strangers and dumped them unceremoniously in a corner of the gym with the command of "Stay there," despite their loud protests.

"I'll have to escort you off the premises," she said.

"Of course," said Fai smoothly, and motioned for his friends to follow with him. As both Syaoran and Kurogane passed, they quickly slipped their swords into Fai's hands, hidden behind the cover of his thick robe.

...

Ara and Ler crouched in the corner Mr. Denton had forced them into, whispering furiously.

"What are we gonna do?" demanded Ler.

"What do you mean, what are we gonna do? We can't just pass up an opportunity like this!" Ara hissed back.

"I know, but they're leaving! We can't just walk out in the middle of gym!"

"Ler, do you not know me? Do I not always have a plan?"

"How could you have possible planned for something like this?"

"I have a lot of free time. Give me your cell phone."

"I don't have it."

"Screw you," said Ara in annoyance, and stood up, looking around. "Brandi, let me borrow your cell phone."

"It's not mine, it's Bryan's."

"Just give it."

Brandi handed her the cell phone and Ara sat back down on her knees next to Ler.

"What are you gonna do?"

"Shush," she said. "I'm calling the attendance office."

"Why do you have the attendance office's number memorized?"

"Because, I- Hi, this is Julie (censored), Ara and Ler (censored)'s mother. I'm on my way to pick the two of them up for a doctor's appointment and I'm running a bit late, so is it alright if they wait outside for me to pick them up? Great. Yes, they should be in P.E. right now. Yes. Alright. I'll send them in with a note tomorrow. Thank you so much. Bye."

Ara flipped the phone shut and handed it back to Brandi, who walked away as if she hadn't heard anything. She realized Ler was staring at her.

"What?"

"We're not sisters. Your mum can't pick us up."

"They don't check that. Come on, they'll be gone by the time we leave if you don't hurry up. Let's go," said Ara, dashing past Mr. Denton and out the door.

"But I have to change!" wailed Ler. Ara ran back in, grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her out.

~ Kay. So. I'm positive I'm not the first person to do this, but as clichéd as it is, it's still a lot of fun to write. So I'm writing it, and if you don't like it, don't read it.

Also, name isn't really Ara, just as Ler/Rena-nee's name really isn't Ler or Rena-nee. I'm not paranoid about giving out my name or anything, I'm just very, very strange. And I really like nicknames :)

Sadly, there are no scribbled thoughts. I typed most of this up directly without handwriting it first. New chapters soon!

Reviews will be loved, polished and displayed on a shelf :) ~
