Chapter 2: First Day
The plane arrived at Isshu International. The captain's voice came back on over the intercom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the Isshu International Airport. Please remained seated until the plane as come to a complete stop. Thank you and enjoy your term at Four Regions."
Eric slowly woke up, not yet used to the jet lag. Addie and everyone else had felt the same exact way. The plane came to a full stop and everyone immediately grabbed their bags and got up, walking towards the exit and into the terminal. Eric walked over to the windows with Alyssa right next to him holding his hand. "Wow, if only you could see the beauty of this place, Allie," he said.
"By next week, I should hopefully be able to," she replied squeezing his hand.
"*Cough*Love birds," said a voice.
"Oh, come on, Hiro, really?" Eric groaned.
"Uh, Eric. That wasn't Hiro," Addie whispered. They all whipped around to see a guy in an peculiar outfit consisting of a floppy wizard's hat, a loose bath robe, and blue sweatpants with yellow stars.
"Who the hell are you?" Addie asked popping her knuckles.
"Addie, stand down," Alyssa said.
"Name's Tarrow. Tarrow Arcana. He looked at the three with piercing green eyes with anger broiling in them. Hiro walked up behind him and shoved him. "Hey, watch where you're going, punk."
"Oh, my bad Dumbledore," Hiro replied throwing a "back off" look. Some hearing this started laughing. The kid walked off nonchalantly.
"Hey thanks man. I owe you one."
"No big. I'll find a way for you to make it up." They all regrouped and walked for the bus area. There Makko stood with a clipboard in his hand. Behind him were four different colored buses, each one with a Four Regions written across the side.
"All right. Listen up. Here are the dorm placements. As soon as you here your name, go and sit on your bus. First Ruby: Tate, Gale, Knight, Cheval, Mitchel, Kururugi, Spearin, Murdie, Taminama, Takeshi…" As soon as he finished he continued.
"Platinum: Bryant, Addie and Eric, Bennett, Arcana, Fujiaki, Lunar…" He finished this dorm and continued on to the next one.
"Diamond: Pearl, Cesarini, Wright…" He wrapped the Diamonds and cleaned up the Emeralds. "All right. That's everyone. Let's roll out," he radioed to the other drivers.
The buses backed out and pulled away one by one. The students were amazed and shocked by the view, grace, and beauty of this region.
After thirty minutes of driving the students finally arrived at the Academy. The building stood out in old red and dark brown brick exterior. Around it stood four domes, each with the respective color of the dorms here.
Everyone hopped and grabbed their bags. The main door opened and at the top of a very tall and wide staircase stood a young woman, standing 5'10" wearing a light blue sweatshirt, blue jeans, black flip flops, and her dirty blonde hair held up into a bun. On her face were a pair of thin, blue framed glasses.
"Welcome all. I am Ashley Riley Bennett, your principal. I welcome you all to a new year here at Four Regions. I trust you all to respect each other and do not hate or look down on others due to their dorms. If not," she said throwing up a Pokeball. Out popped a small bear like Pokemon that growled its name. Some people laughed. "Then you will face him. Do not be fooled by his size. He is a true monster. Now everyone please go to your dorms and get settled in. Dinner's in two hours. I expect you all to be there. Now, for those in dorms Ruby and Platinum, your dorms are up the stairs here and to your right. Emerald and Diamond, the same but to your left. Also you are allowed to visit friends in other dorms and you are more than welcome to go to the central courtyard at anytime. Just be sure to knock before you go into the dorms. Now go and get settled."
The students grabbed their bags off the floor and walked towards their respective dorms. Eric, Alyssa, and Addie walked forward towards Ashley. She quickly wrapped them all in a big hug which they all gratefully returned.
"Oh, it's so good to see you again. Eric, look at you. I can remember when you were still so little playing in the little kiddie pool in our back yard," she said.
"Yeah, but that's because you were also playing in it, too," he replied jokingly.
"Still the joker, I see," she replied laughing. "And look here's little Addison," she said wrapping her in another hug.
"Oh, it's so good to see you again, elder sis," Addie replied hugging her big.
"And just so you know, you can go barefoot wherever you want, except the dining hall."
"Fine by me. I'll go find our dorm, guys," she said taking her flip flops off and stuffing them into her bag, walking off.
"And my little sis, Alyssa," she said kissing her on the forehead. "So, you'll be seeing better than me hopefully?"
"That's what the doctor said, Ashley. In one week," Alyssa said.
"Well, I'll be sure to remember. Now go on and get unpacked," she said shooing the two upstairs.
They walked down the hall. "Let's see, 28...29...30!" Eric said. He opened the knob to see Addie out cold on the bed which she had already made. Eric shook his head as did Alyssa at hearing her soft snoring.
Eric dropped their bags near their beds. He opened the curtains. The windows shone in an excellent way into the room. Addie groaned and pulled the pillow over her head.
Hiro and Kame walked down the hall to the dorm in the Ruby area. "Here it is," he said inserting the key in the keyhole. They opened the door to reveal a room of the respective dorm.
"Not bad," Hiro said looking around admiring the place.
"I'll say," Kame said in agreement.
As they continued to pack, they heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Kame shouted.
"It's Briony. Briony Tate," the voice replied.
"Oh come in." The door opened to show a girl standing 5'10" with dark black hair. She was wearing a dark grey toque with a silver turtle neck and purple valet vest, washed out blue jeans, and she wasn't wearing any shoes. Rather she was wearing white ankle socks and she held her shoes in her right hand and her bag in the other.
"Nice place," she said looking around.
"That's what I said," Hiro replied putting his pillow on his bed.
Sorry for this being a short chapter. I have been very busy with school and family. I will try to use every character possible. Thanks for your submissions.
