Without further ado, my dear viewer, on with it!

Geo shuddered, recalling what happened in the faculty room. He was inspected, injected, dejected, rejected, and all sorts of nasty things(1)… Only to get the result that he was, as he knew, a full being made of EM waves, or Aura. The shock on his teachers faces was comical, to say the least. He sighed and looked at his Hunter to check the time- only 6:32 pm. "It feels so much later…" he sighed, rubbing his arm with a pained expression.

"Shaddap. I'm trying to sleep here," Mega groaned from the Hunter. Even he was exhausted, being drained of his energy in the name of science… well, that's what Beatrice said. He highly doubted it.

"Sorry to wake you, Sleeping Beauty," Geo replied sarcastically. He kept walking down the hallway. It was quiet… too quiet. He stopped for a second hearing someone behind him.

"Hey, Geo," a familiar voice called out from behind him. Turning he around, he was greeted by a smiling Blake.

"Oh, hey Blake. What's up?" Geo greeted, smiling now, too.

"I wanted to talk, I guess. You're the only one that knows about…" she paused and points to her bow.

Getting the hint, Geo nodded. "Yeah... Is that okay?"

"Of course. You are a friend after all."

"Where should we go?" he asked as they continued walking.

"I'm not sure. We could go to the cliff…"she thought aloud.

"I would suggest my room, but… that'd be a tad bit awkward," Geo scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"We could go into Vale. Is the bookstore there okay?" Blake suggested. "I need to pick up the next book in my favorite series anyway."

"Yeah, sounds good to me. Lead the way, because I'm utterly lost in this maze of a campus," the younger teen said comically. "Seriously though, I have no idea where we are going."

The pair of teens stood inside the bullhead, both awkwardly quiet. Deciding to break the silence, Geo turned to the tall girl. "So, what book are you planning on getting?" he asked curiously, causing Blake to turn a little pink.

"It's called Ninjas of Love," she said, scratching her cheek. The name piqued Geo's interest.

"Oh? What's it about?" Geo asked innocently. Mega immediately facepalmed inside the Hunter.

"W-well… It's uh…a romance book about ninjas," Blake tried to explain, trying to keep a straight face.

"I see…? Maybe I should check it out. Sounds interes-"

"N-no! I mean, I don't think you'd like it," Blake shifted a little.

"Okay…?"

After a while in the Bullhead, the teens were able to move around, strolling along the brightly lit sidewalks of Vale.

"So, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Geo asked, putting his hands in his pockets.

Blake shrugged, "I kinda just wanted to talk about what happened in class today with Winchester," she said quietly. "I'm just sick of people treating us faunus like trash," she sighed. Geo stayed silent, listening intently. "I mean… we're just like them, all that's different is some little animal features…" Blake stopped and looked down, distressed.

Geo placed his hand on her shoulder, trying to somewhat comfort her. "Hey, don't let them get to you. Rise above what they say, don't fall to their level," he smiled slightly, getting a wry smile back from Blake.

"Yeah… Thank you," Blake said, wiping her nose. "You're too kind."

"Eh, I wouldn't say that," Geo waved it off, "In all seriousness, we still have to grab that book of yours, right?"

"Oh yeah. Let's do that. Just… don't go looking into Ninjas of Love, okay?"

"No promises," Geo joked, winking at her.

Shaking her head, Blake started to walk ahead towards Tukson's. "It's only another block from here."

The brunette nodded, following her down the path.

…

In the shadows of the alleyway behind them, a woman in a Grimm mask frowned, disappearing into the darkness.

After a spending some time in the bookshop, talking about miscellaneous things, the black and red pair paid for their books and started walking back towards the Bullhead station.

"Hey, Geo?" Blake called out.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Is it okay if we stop to eat? I'm kinda hungry…" Blake looked away, kind of embarrassed.

"That'd be great. I didn't really get to eat lunch due to the entire event with Cardin and Velvet," Geo rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "So, what kind of foo-"

"Sushi!" she blurted out, not really thinking.

"O… kay. Lead the way…?" Geo responded slowly.

Nodding while cringing at her actions, she started walking off to the nearest sushi bar. They walked for a good 5 minutes or so before arriving at a fancy, and expensive looking sushi restaurant.

Geo sighed, already feeling his wallet becoming emaciated. As they walked in, their noses were blessed with the smell of the seafood already being prepped in the back. The place was quiet, with a calming tune being played on the piano on the small stage in the right corner of the room. "Good evening. How many people will be in your party?" a tall man asked.

"Just us two," Geo answered. The man nodded, grabbing two menus and guided them to a small booth near the pianist.

"I've never been here before, but I already like it," Blake grabbed her menu and opened it.

"Well, I'm sure the food'll be just as good as the atmosphere," the brunette joked, opening his menu as well. Looking over the options, he found something he never tried before. "Hey, what's yakisoba?"

"Oh, it's a noodle dish. It's really good, well, as long as you like meat."

"Huh. I'll get that then. Let's see…" he skimmed over the different types before deciding on beef. "Oh, and don't worry about paying. I have more than enough," Geo smiled slightly.

"Yeah, but I dragged you out here. I'd feel bad if it were just you paying," the tall girl protested.

"Again, don't worry about it. It's my treat, alright?" the boy said with finality.

"Fine, but next time, I'm paying."

"No promises," Geo winked playfully, getting a slight blush from Blake. After they ordered their food, they talked about their pasts.

"I just want to know one thing," the girl inquired, "Why do you chant transcode something before fusing with Mega?"

Knowing this question was inevitable, he sighed. "Well… a few years ago, these-" he placed his Hunter on the table, "-were upgraded, changing the way Mega and I fuse. I happened to be the third person to access fusion after the upgrade. Therefore, I got Transcode 003," he explained the best he could.

"I… I don't follow. If there was something as big as fusing, wouldn't more people know? And that device looks eerily similar to the one I saw Ren using, though yours in much better shape."

"Okay, I'll come completely clean, as I trust you. Time travel. I'm from a long… long time ago."

A/N: (1) if you don't get the reference, it's from and old song called Alice's Restaurant.

Welp, that's that. Cut. Finish. Etc.

Thanks for reading, please review.

Yep. That's that.

See ya next chapter.
