I landed on the ground in an alleyway. I deactivated my clear armor and now I was in a pair of jeans and a grey polo. I wasn't that new to earth, but I was new to Illinois and my new school, Sherman High.

I walked into the classroom and sat down next to an all-too-familiar black-haired boy. I smiled at him.

"Hey Lance, long time no see." He looked at me with a confused expression before turning back to the front of the class

"Do I know you?" I chuckled a little.

"I'm not sure if you recognize me or not, we both have grown so much. But I think you'll remember my name." Just as I said that, the teacher started role call.

"Lance Lunas, Baron Barkovski…" As she went on I noticed Lance's eyes widen and look at me. He seemed to freeze that whole rest of the class. When the bell rang, Lance grabbed me roughly by the arm and pushed me against the lockers with a loud bang.

"What the hell are you doing here Baron? Come to try to kill me again?" He asked fiercely.

"No." My short answer seemed to be one of his buttons. He pushed me against the lockers again, this time harder.

"Then why are you here?" he asked again.

"For your information, I was sent here an earth year before you so that I could scout the land and make sure it was safe enough for you and the princess." This seemed to calm him down a little.

"Have you heard anything from Galaluna since you've been here?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Well I have. I got one distress message a week ago. All I heard was a man screaming 'Modula'." He looked back at me.

"Wait, how did you get a distress message that quickly?" I smiled and pointed to my diamond ring.

"It's my armor. It's top of the line and made out of the strongest Hefilamite, I need to show it to you later." Lance narrowed his eyes.

"Who said I wanted to hang out with you? I thought you hated me…and I hated you back." I frowned at him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"This is a time of war, we all have to band together and become one strong force. We all have to be friends. And besides, I never really...hated you, I just wanted to look tough infront of my friends." He still looked like he wasn't buying it.

"Look tough infront of your friends? That's real mature." I started laughing at his comment.

"We were 11 and 12! And now we're what, 16? 17? I think we've matured a little." I chuckled to myself.

"I suppose...I'm still not letting my eye off of you Baron. Not ever. Especially around the princess."

"Pa-leese, I would never harm a hair on the princess's head. We are both Galalunians after all." Lance nodded.

"I suppose so..." He started to walk away. I frowned before he turned back to face me.

"You coming?" I smiled brighter and I ran to catch up to him. This looked like the beginning of a bright friendship.
