Full Summary:

Meet Robin, a mathematical genius and an aspiring chemical engineer. She goes to Northwestern Ylisse University along with her younger twin brother in hopes of gaining more knowledge. Meet Robert, Robin's younger twin brother who has a passion for theoretical physics and a genius in his own right. Meet Chrom, the prince of Ylisse and Robert's roommate. He leads a band of misfits named the 'Shepherds'. Chrom isn't what you'd expect from the Ylissean Royal Family. He's not exactly your stereotypical spoiled rotten prince. He's a philanthropist of sorts and goes out to help Ylissean citizen to a better life along with his band of misfits. At first glance, Robin and Robert sees Chrom as always serious, calm, and even weird. As the future leader, Chrom is expected to show much leadership. Under Chrom's serious exterior shelters a good, loyal heart and it seems that Robin may have accidentally gotten through his walls. Not only that, but she'll see a dorky side she never expected from Chrom. Things are about to get pretty awkward between them. Robin finds that college isn't as straight-forward as she had expected it to be.

Robin and her younger twin brother, Robert, had just arrived from the eastern Ylissean countryside. They had their old clothes and some valuables with them. It was luck that they had struck a full ride scholarship to Northwestern Ylissean University, where many of the prominent nobels, royals, and wealthy came to study. Robin herself was no slacker. She's one of the academics of this school, along with her brother. They were both of equal intellect and genius. Robin and Robert were very close and they both had no qualms about speaking to one another about anything. Anything that troubled the other, they would definitely talk it through. This time around, the school required same-sex dorms only, meaning that Robin and Robert were not allowed to room together. In any case, Robert was already complaining to Robin about his roommate.

"You know, before I could even book my room, they did some extensive background checks. It was ridiculous. I mean we were already screened before we even got accepted to this stupid university. I wonder who my roommate is? Those RAs never told me."

"Hmmm, well, maybe it's for the privacy of your roommate. Besides, you don't know who and what kind of person your roommate is until you've met them. We'll see how that works out, but for now, I'll help you move right in." Robin smiled at her younger brother reassuringly.

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm just over-thinking things." He smiled back at her.

They began to haul in some of their basic furniture like an iron and an ironing board. A coffee maker and a microwave was placed on Robert's side of the room. They both put in office supplies on his study table. The room itself was roomy, with only two occupants allowed in it. Each side of the room had its own wardrobe, study table, & bed. The room, however, shared a refrigerator and a microwave. It was not such a big room, but it was enough to sustain Robert and his mystery roommate. Robin posted up some sentimental things on his wall, like a poster of their favorite band. She had framed pictures of the two of them on his study table. As well as an old family photo of Robin, Robert, and their mother when they were younger. They were posed in front of their old countryside manor. Their mother smiled happily with her hands on a young Robin and Robert's shoulders, one on each side of her.

"I remember this," Robin paused, "This picture was when we were eight and mother wanted a family photo after her birthday."

"Yeah," Robert responded, "You look a lot like her too. Long platinum blonde hair, brown eyes, and a heart-shaped face. You're a spitting image of her."

"Hmmm, that's what everyone says," Robin nodded in deep thought, "But you look like her too, but a male version."

Robert laughed at her remark and continued unpacking his clothes into his wardrobe. They went on to help one another and in populating his room with as much familiarity as possible. Robin wanted to make this his 'home-away-from-home' and wanted to make it seem as welcoming as possible. Their old home, their true home, had been burned down to the ground by some Plegean Cult Followers. It was a mystery to both of them why they had targeted their home in the first place. Soon afterwards, they were taken in by a village and lived in a small cottage together for the remainder of their lives, until they went to college of course. It was an abrupt change for them, but that was how they had lived and they adapted for it. Their small cottage had all the amenities they needed for life. That was then when they looked after one another and it seemed as though it all worked out for them, even if they were orphans. They had never known the reason for their home to be burned down, but with the house came their mother's death. It was parallel to the complete destruction of their home. Their mother had died when they were only nine years old.

"I'm sure, that mother will be proud of both of us... if she could see us today," Robin continued to say after a long moment of silence.

"Yeah, you're right. We lead a hard life, but we came out on top. That's the most important," Robert responded in agreement.

After two hours of unpacking and arranging, they had finally finished. Robin's room was upstairs, but it remained untouched momentarily. They were early and one of the first to come to move-in day. Many others waited for the last minute, but not these two. Luckily, Robin's roommate was not there in the building either. This building had six floors full of dorm rooms. It was the closest to all the subject buildings of the university, as well as the dinning commons. After tirelessly fixing up Robert's dorm room, Robin was tired just as much as her brother. She walked to the window and looked outside. She admired the view of the university outside her window. The university looked magical, like everything was glistening and new. Probably because of all the money the rich kids put into this school. Robin knew that this school was one of the best in the country. Being accepted alone was a causal of pride in your family. While she and Robert had no family left, they were both proud of each other. Robert was the only family she had left and she was happy that they were moving up in life somehow.

She continued to look outside, admiring a statue of the Hero-King, Marth, in front of the campus. It was surrounded with well-groomed shrubbery and flower beds. The front of the school was a garden and a plaque that told of the school being dedicated to the future generations. It was simply a beauty and a relaxing place to be. She looked over to Robert who was still rummaging his bag for something and did not notice her looking over. She turned back towards the window, still admiring her school campus. There was a calming vibe about it that Robin could not quite understand. They then heard a knock, which startled her and her brother. The door opened and neither of them looking at who had entered. They thought it was just Robert's roommate who finally decided to show up and fairly early too. He spoke, which broke the silence. Something about Robert's roommate's voice seemed eerily familiar. She remembered this voice either as a child or from else where.

"Oh, I see my roommate is here."

They both turned around at the same time to see who was this person. They both couldn't believe their eyes.

"PRINCE CHROM?!" They uttered at the same time.

"Hello guys..." Prince Chrom responded uneasily.
