I don't really know a lot about Lando Ascad, except for that he's absolutely gorgeous. And that he's a bad ass fencer. 3 ANYWAY. xD The story is basically that Lando moved to...um...that place in London where Layton lives, and begins to attend high school with Layton and Sharon. GRESSENHELLER HIGH. x]

For Lando, his life hadn't always been about school. Sure, he had been a straight A student, but he was lonely. He didn't have anyone who shared his interest of archaeology or fencing. Was there ever going to be someone who did? Hopefully the new high school, Gressenheller High, would have at least someone. He didn't care of the gender. He just wanted a friend. One friend. A girl wouldn't be bad either, though.

"Students, calm down, calm down. I don't care if it's the first day of school. You'll be quiet, you hear? I'm trying to take attendance." the teacher barked. He stood in front of the class, in front of the blackboard that had World History scrawled in complete chicken scratch. He sighed, rubbing his temples. "Children," he muttered.

"Lando Ascad," the teacher said, looking up from his paper.

"I'm here, Duchess." Lando replied, smiling sweetly.

"What did you say?"

"I said 'I'm here, Duchess'. Hard of hearing, man?"

The whole class erupted into a roar of laughter, as the teacher's face began to grow increasingly red.

"Do you really want detention on your first day of high school, Mr. Ascad?" the teacher spat.

Lando shook his head. "Nope. Not at all."

"Then I suggest you keep your snarky comments to yourself."

"Alright, Mr. Spandex."

"It's Mr. Spander."

"Duly noted." Lando replied, laying his head upon his desk. Well, the class clown approach didn't work at all...

"Hershel Layton."

A teenager in the seat in front of Lando with a big fro of hair, raised his hand, "I'm here, sir. And I don't believe you were being totally fair to Mr. Ascad."

Lando quickly raised his head up. What is this Layton kid doing?

"Why is that, Mr. Layton?"

"Well," Hershel started, "You do know Duchess is a royal term, correct?"

"For a girl," Mr. Spander said, obviously bored with this conversation.

"It could've been that Mr. Ascad did in fact not know that, or he just messed up his words."

"His words told me otherwise. Don't start with me, too, Mr. Layton. It'd be a tragedy if I had to put two students in detention."

Hershel raised both of his arms, both his palms side up, as if to say, I was just simply stating the facts.

"Sharon Leidle."

"Here!" The teenager answered. "And I agree with Hershel." Sharon's seat was directly next to Lando's and she pointed at the boy, "I'm assuming he's new here, and is just afraid of being at a new school all by himself. I mean, wouldn't you be, sir? When I first moved here, I was a little rebellious myself. It was only because I was new."

"Well, well, well, Mr. Ascad. Are you new to this district?"

Lando nodded, surprised by Sharon's gathering of information. She was right about all of it. He found himself blushing in a matter of seconds.

"I suggest putting away the class clown act, then. It doesn't work here."

After that, Mr. Spander finished calling out everyone's names. When he was done with that, he passed out a piece of paper to everyone in the class.

"Now, everyone. Since it's the first day, we're going to play an icebreaker game. You can get to know people. I've passed out a paper, as you can see. It's called 'Find Someone Who...'. You look at the subjects on the list and go around the room, finding people who like that subject. They sign their name and you go on until either class is over, or your list has been fully completed."

"Hey," Sharon whispered, lightly tapping Lando's shoulder. "give me your paper, Lando!"

He quickly traded papers with Sharon and looked at all the subjects that the paper had listed.

Find someone who has been to Florida.

Find someone who likes to fence.

Find someone who likes to read.

Find someone who has the same birth month as you do.

Find someone who likes tea.

Find someone who likes to write.

Find someone who likes the color red.

Find someone who likes to shop.

Find someone who likes to explore.

Find someone who likes puzzles or riddles.

Lando wrote his signature down next to the subject about fencing and handed the paper back. Sharon gave his paper back and Lando found out she had written her name next to the one about exploring. She had also written him a little note that read: Welcome to Gressenheller High! I hope you enjoy your stay here! Let's hang out sometime! Lando felt his blush return, and he turned to look at Sharon, who winked at him, and flashed him a small grin.

Oh my gosh... Was the only thought that had contained his mind at the moment.

"Okay, get up now and find other people."

Lando was slow to get up, but Hershel had turned around and snatched Lando's paper, and had put his own on his desk. Once again, Lando had put his signature next to fencing and handed the paper back. When he had gotten his own paper back, he saw that Hershel had put his signature next to the one about puzzles and riddles.

"Hey, Layton, thanks for saving me back there."

Hershel laughed, "Don't even mention it, Lando. I didn't want you to get in trouble on your first day of school!"

Lando grinned, "Yeah...I was nervous."

"I could tell." Hershel looked down at his paper, "You like fencing, huh? I'm pretty good at it, myself. Or, at least somewhat good at it. We should fence sometime, together."

"You're on! Winner buys the other lunch for one week!" Lando said, slapping his hands down on his desk.

"Alright, sounds good to me."

Sharon laughed. "Oh, boys." She murmured softly. "Hershel, I'll take your paper." The two switched papers and then quickly gave them back.

"You like to fence too, Sharon?" Hershel said, once he had received his paper back, a bit surprised.

Sharon nodded, "I do. I like to fence, explore, and to shop!"

"Well then," Lando said with a huge smile, "It looks like we'll all have to fence together sometime. Does the lunch offer still stand?"

"Of course it does!" Sharon said, staring Lando straight in the eyes, causing him to blush even more. "Afraid to lose to a girl, boys?"

"No!" Hershel and Lando shouted in unison. They both chuckled.

I have a feeling that this school year is going to be great...
