The next day, early morning, Flare was in the middle of a dream. Flare still in the mitts of his dream thinks ("wow this blanket is so soft and these pillows are fluffy "). Flare opens his eyes, looks around the room and says "it feels too early". Flare tries to sit up, looks down and Tsubaki's arms are around Flare and her head is on his chest. Flare says "no wonder I felt warm". Then Flare thinks ("what time is it anyways?") Flare reached over and picked up the clock and thought ("what's the point of setting an alarm clock if I wake up before it does"). Then he says "oh well I guess I'll take a shower and have something to eat". Flare unwraps Tsubaki's arms from around him, got out of bed, took a shower and put some pants on. He heads downstairs to the kitchen and cooks up eggs, bacon and orange juice. Flare makes enough for three and then Black Star walks into the kitchen and asks "what's for breakfast?" Flare says "eggs and bacon with orange juice". Black Star says "sounds good, is sleeping beauty still asleep?" Flare says "yeah". Black Star says "well, prince charming needs to go wake her up". Flare says "that's what prince charming is going to do". Flare puts a plate of eggs and bacon, glass of orange juice on a tray and picked it up and carried it up the stairs to Tsubaki's room. He enters the room and sets the tray on the little coffee table. Flare walks over to the bed, crouches down and says "baby it's time to wake up". Tsubaki rolls over opens her eyes and says "morning baby". Flare says "morning, I made you breakfast". Tsubaki says "I didn't know you could cook?" Flare says "well, when you live as long as I have you pick up a few things". Tsubaki says "baby, you are perfect. Your strong, handsome and can cook." Flare says "I don't know about that, anyways eat some breakfast, take a shower and get dressed we got school today". Tsubaki says "ok, morning kiss?" Flare leans in and kisses Tsubaki.
Later that day, at the academy the door to Stein's classroom swings open and Flare, Tsubaki and Black Star walk in and take their seats. The late bell goes off *ding dong* and Stein is not in the classroom. Flare leans over to Maka and asks "where is Stein at?" Maka says "I don't know, but apparently we're getting a substitute teacher". Flare says "I see, does anyone know who we are getting as a substitute?" Maka says "nobody knows, we just get the luck of the draw". Suddenly the door flies open and Medusa walks in wearing a naughty teacher outfit, like the ones you buy on Halloween. Medusa says "alright class, take your seats". Flare thinks ("fuck how did this happen to me"). Medusa says "alright class, I have an announcement to make, I will be substituting for Professor Stein for a couple days". Flare asked "okay, so what are we planning to do then?" Medusa says "well, to get to know you guys better, I thought we should take a hot springs trip". Flare says "I'm assuming Lord Death knows about this?" Medusa says "of course, now we leave tomorrow so make sure you're packed and ready to go". Flare thinks ("I know she has some other plan than a hot spring trip but I'm not too worried right now"). Tsubaki leans over and asks "Maka is throwing a party at her place after school would you like to come?" Flare says "yeah I would like that". Tsubaki says "great, this way you get to meet my other friends". Flare leans over and kisses Tsubaki then Flare sees a flash at the corner of his eye. Flare looks over and sees Medusa with a old style camera that prints out the picture from it after it takes the picture. Flare says "hold the fuck up, now I know damn well you did not just take a picture of me and Tsubaki kissing". Medusa says "yeah and you two look so cute". Flare snaps his fingers and the picture incinerates into ashes. Medusa says "not bad, lover boy".
