"kkk…Eagle to worm, eagle to worm, do you read?"
Merodi sighed thoroughly, her sigh coming out as a puff of smoke in the cold. She held up the black walkie-talkie to her ear and pressed a large red button. Using her shoulder, she eased up her aching muscles to press the walkie-talkie up to her ear, while she used her hands to tie up a shoelace that had come up un-done.
"Yeah, I hear you Reno. What's up?"
She waited for a response on his side of the walkie-talkie, only listening to the fuzz of the radio. She then heard him say: "I haven't seen anyone from our school yet, Meron. Any luck on your side?"
She rolled her eyes and sighed. It was only this morning that he called her so that they would get a field start on their "project" It was very cold, and she was forced to kneel, lest she was to be found out that she was "snooping around"
The spot where she was crouching upon was cold, yet the snow melted, due to her being there for such a long span of time. She hissed through her teeth and rubbed her hands against her arms feverishly to find warmth.
"A-Are you sure this'll help on our project, R-Reno?"
She paused and waited for his response, looking at the walkie-talkie. It was a black toy-looking thing, yet it was actually meant for spying. Merodi wondered if Reno got it from a smugglers shop, but absolutely doubted it.
"Of course I'm sure! Don't you know anything about trust?" Merodi heard Reno whine over to radio. She smiled softly to herself, glad he wasn't mad at her for doubting him. She sighed and pressed the red button again, lifting her aching body up.
"Alrightie then. I'll meet you at the town square and then we'll get something to bite, ok?"
"She heard Reno do his "hmmm" thing and chuckled to herself. She heard him chuckle back and chortled. "Sounds like a plan. As long as it's edible, Meron!"
She heard the click as he tuned his radio off. She smirked, looking around at the buildings and trees. It was quite foggy and the snow lightly coated the tops of everything, like icing on cake.
She sighed. Her butt was killing her, due to sitting down for hell knows how long. She wanted to call either Crystal or Tsuna, but she that they would be busy, Tsuna with her stories and Crystal with…heck knows what.
She sighed and got up, her back aching. She felt like crap, getting up too early and killing her back in a matter of time. At least she was making progress…

Crystal hummed along to the song "Too Little, Too Late" by one of her favourite artists, JoJo. She was on her stomach flipping through her novel, "Doll in the Garden" Her bed-room floor was cluttered with papers and sheets of many colours,
She extended her arm out for a bowl of "Fuzzy Peaches" and simply popped them into her mouth. She wasn't paying attention to anything except her music and her book, humming like a humming-bird near a flock of flowers.
She was still very happy and embarrassed from yesterday in meeting Stan. She felt her cheeks grow hot just by thinking about him, his face, his eyes, his---
"Hey, Crystal!"
Crystal snapped out of it, the candy dropping from her agape mouth. She got up from her position and sighed; depressed her free time was cancelled. She closed the book solemnly, the hardcover novel creating a small thud sound.
She looked out the window to find Tsuna peering up at her, a black paper-back novel clutched in her arms. She smiled as a small puff of smoke dispersed from her lips. Crystal smiled softly and waved.
"Hey! Come down and outside, silly!" Tsuna called, her breaths forming in puffs of hot air in the cold. Crystal nodded and waved, signalling Tsuna she'd be down. She then left the window sill and ran over to her closet to find something suitable to wear. What she found was a pale blue zip-up sweater and a pair of jeans.
Un-fortunately for her, the knee-parts of the jeans were ripped, causing a possible flow of heat to escape. She groaned, disappointed there was nothing else possible to wear, but she ignored that and miserably put them on. The sweater was very lovely, yet delicate. It was sure to keep her warm.
While passing a drawer, she instantly scratched her palm, gathering up a small wound on that side. "Ite!"
"Augh, hurry up, stupid or else she'll DITCH YOU!"
With a grunt, she swiftly snatched up her keys and a shoulder-bag, and then left her room with a slam on the door.

"So…what you're saying is…?"
"You still don't understand, do you?"
Reno sighed as he mushed up his strawberry sundae into a swirl of cream and the very berry itself. He tiled his direction towards the sundae as it was mutilated into a colourful mess. Merodi groaned and rested her head in her hand, frustrated.
Reno murmured to himself while placing a single strawberry into his mouth with a plastic spoon. "And we don't even have a victim yet…Meron, that's sad…"
Merodi gave him a slight "grr" sound and went back to her own sundae. She pushed and screwed up the ice-cream delight, grumbling something about the Holocaust and something evil to do with Reno. Reno gave her an eye-roll and tilted his head towards the open window of the café.
The streets were slightly empty, yet crowded, bustling with life. Reno sighed at the dullness of this town. This is pointless…stupid school district coming up with this jack-ass plan and…
Reno perked up when he noticed something…
"Hey…Hey Meron?" Reno murmured, tugging at Merodi's bubble-gum blue sweater. He didn't let his eyes leave what he was looking at. Merodi looked up from her sundae and "mmm?" Reno.
Merodi shifted her gaze to where Reno was set upon. She found out he was looking at that guy from that test day, Spat. Merodi felt that type of cruel smile creeping upon her lips. Spat seemed to be the innocent gazelle that was practically waiting to be exterminated.
"He's single…isn't he?" Reno smirked, scooping up a bit of his sundae. Merodi nodded, scooping her bit of her own sundae. Reno gave her a wicked smile and slipped the spoon in his mouth taking one last glance at Spat.
"Now…all we need is another…" Merodi murmured, peering out at the crowd out there.

"Are you going out again, Harmony!"
"I'll be back, mom! See you!"
"Wait! Don't g--"
Harmony slammed the door, slipping on her soft white coat, smiling broadly up at the sky. It was lightly snowing, the white flakes of ice tickling her nose delightfully. She giggled and shifted her gaze towards the town.
Since she was new to this town, she would at least get to explore it. She sighed as she heard her mother screaming her way to the front door. Harmony gasped and took cover behind a trash-can, her breaths coming out in faint gasps.
She steadied her breath and listened, just as soon as her mother was to close the front door. When that exact sound was heard, Harmony sighed, getting up and brushing herself, her bottom in being fairly wet.
"Phew…I should be a bit more careful next time…silly me!" she murmured to herself innocently. She giggled and lifted up her coat hood and ran off.
"Heehee! To the towns it is!"

"Yeah, I saw that yesterday too! It was pretty retarded, though…"
"But I loved the way he acted out his love for the girl, anyhow!"
"Whatever" Crystal giggled as she and Tsuna walked down the icy side-walk, talking about what was on last night. Tsuna rolled her eyes and nudged Crystal playfully. Crystal laughed and tried her best not to slip on the iced over pavement.
"Ok Tsuna. Spill it. What is it that you wanted anyway?" Crystal snorted, shifting her gaze to her friends. Tsuna sighed and smiled softly. "Ok, ok, you got me. I just bugged you to ask you for some girl advice--"
"What! The Tsuna Io is asking me for advice!" Crystal exclaimed, adding a touch of enthusiasm in her voice. Tsuna groaned and stopped dead in her tracks, putting her head in her hands. Crystal stopped in a small amount of time, retracing her steps to face Tsuna.
Tsuna's head was down, her breaths coming out in small puffs. The sun beamed down at them, as if their position was its own business. Crystal bent down to look at Tsuna. "Hey…what's wrong…?"
Tsuna sharply took in a deep breath and lifted her head from her hands.
"I don't know what to do…I think I love him…"
Crystal's eyes popped out. Huh? I thought you loved Suzuran…?
"Tsuna-chan…wh-what are you talking about?" Crystal stuttered, gently tugging at Tsuna's sweater. This was just too freaky.
Tsuna? In love!
"I'm talking about him, Crys-chan…Pazu…"

Merodi ran up to a trashcan and with a swift turn kneeled without a sound. She tried her best to act like the spies in her favourite movies. She smirked and pretended she had a gun and made movie-star faces.
"I'm double-o si--"
"Meron?"
"AHHH!"
Merodi shrieked in horror, thinking she was found out. Reno sighed and rolled his eyes. "Meron…just because we're stalking the guy doesn't mean we have to look like stalkers!" Reno groaned, helping the confused yet frightened girl up.
"W-Well…at least I don't scare the he--"
"Shh! He'll see us if you keep on babbling like an old-lady like that!" Reno hissed, slipping a slender hand over Merodi's mouth. Merodi made a muffled out squeal, not impressed that her partner knew nothing about personal space.
They quickly watched as Spat turned a corner to an alley. Reno cursed under his breath, finally getting annoyed of the feeling of hot breath anointing his palm. He let go of Merodi who had turned a brilliant red. Reno turned over and gasped fakingly to see her like that.
"Eh? Meron, what's wrong? Are you catching cold?"
Reno slipped his hand onto her forehead and gave her a look of worry. Merodi fumed red and pulled his hand from her head. "Stupid! We're going to lose him!" she hissed, pushing Reno.
Reno chuckled and let himself to be pushed. Merodi growled and tried to push the oaf as hard as she could. "D-damn you…"
"Hey, it's not my fault you're a weakling!"
" Shaddup! Its not my fault you're a heavy dummy!"
"(gasp!) I'm offended, weakling!"
Merodi seethed through her teeth and ignored the dunce, looking over him to find Spat turning another corner. "Shit!"
"(gasp!) Did you just swear, Meron?"
"I SAID SHADDUP!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Harmony hummed as she walked down the streets of the town she was humming cute songs like Simple and Clean. She was definitely not the type to be walking around the alleys here. How on earth did she get here you ask? Hmm…
Harmony walked down the usual path of the town, obliging the sights and scenery. Since it was her first time, it was natural for her to not pay attention. She hummed as usual with her eyes closed. Some Chinese guy tried to tell her something, his warnings coming out in blabberdash.
Harmony waved to him and replied, not even knowing what he said and made a simple assumption he said "hello." She giggled and smiled "Hello to you too, Mr!"
What the guy said was "Pay attention, crazy biatch!"
Harmony soon started to let her humming fade out,clutching her arms to herself. She was starting to think this place was not safe (duh) she tried to whistle, only to get the attention of a crow. It squawked and flew over her, frightening the living day-lights out of the poor thing. (pazu from "A La Mode" is NOT like this dirty bastard of a crow!)
Harmony shrieked and curled up into a little ball, shielding her head from the world she was in. Oh…is this how Alice felt when she was in Wonderland? Harmony thought to herself, shivering like a leaf.
"Ah! I don't want to be here, someone please he--"
"Hey"
Harmony looked up to the familiar face. She felt a smile of hope come across her small face; it was that guy she bumped into a few days ago! She squealed in happiness and embraced him tightly.
"Wheee! My knight in shining armour has come to rescue me!" Harmony whizzed out, twirling in a circle. Spat grunted at contact and tried to pry her off. "Wtf…?"
Harmony gave off her signature "happy smile" and grabbed onto Spats hands. Spat flushed pink and gave Harony a quick "what the hell are you doing" gaze. He grunted and felt the small girl hold in a "master lock" embrace again.
"Ohh! Thank you so much Mr.Knight!" Spat turned red. "W-what the hell are you doing!" he hissed, prying her off of him. " Nande omae wa koko ni?A girl like you shouldn't be here!" he exclaimed, making her squeak in fear. Spat hissed through his teeth. He was not in the mood for the cute act.
"B-but…what are you doing here, then?" the small form piped, sweatdropping. Spat softened and started to ask himself that. The two stared at each other, yet mean while from a distance…
Reno and Merodi snickered cruely as Reno marked down two words on his clip-boared he had been carrying for a long time. The pencil going over the paper was all he needed. The two words in kanji were:
Mission impossible
