"Are you alright, Butter?" Butch inquisitively posed once he noticed her current facial expression as she leaned against the edge of the pool.

Light green eyes eventually shift from Drake's back and over to her counterpart's face when she breaks her silence, "I have a bad feeling about something."

"There is this shift in emotions." Bubbles were chiming in while leaning back on the lounge chair after hearing her sister mentioning about an ominous feeling.

"We'll just have to stay alert," Blossom remarks while she readjusts her sunglasses to fit across her eyes.

Meanwhile…

Midori purposely edged over toward the pool shed when she heard a wolf whistle followed by "Cutie with the black windbreak on,"

She simply picks up her pace until she feels a hand wraps around her elbow along with a thud as her back connects with the shed.

A hand firmly settled against the wall, which ineffectively blocked her path to escape.

"I apologize for being a bit too rough but you weren't going to stop," The teen offered up an apology to the girl.

"Your Midori from Pokey Oaks, right?" He purposely attempts to break the ice with the redhead.

"You seem like the assertive type but right now I want to be left alone." She politely chided the guy that stood directly in front of her.

The teen seemed rather amused at the comment before he verbally opined, "A firecracker, huh?"

She was narrowing her vision before watching him invading her personal space by advancing forward.

Right before she could react to defend herself, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew across her face.

"Oy, you stupid muppet, my girl said to leave her alone." Drake boldly declares after he flexes his fist until he overhears, "What's going on?"

Athena's voice slices through the brief silence that ensues after she sees a participant on the ground in front of her Head of Discipline Committee.

"I don't have to explain my personal matters to you, Athena." He bluntly hissed as he glared at the male.

"Kaylee…" The raven-haired girl called for the MIT Top, who responded with a nod of her head.

"Hey, how about we go for a walk?" She instantly suggested to the redhead teen with her head tilted, eyes closed with a smile on her face.

"Kaylee…" The teen briefly pauses to look at the brunette who calmly advises, "Don't go too far with her."

The orange-haired teen figured from his tone and expression that was a fair warning not to try anything, so she responded, "Okay,"

"You're acting inappropriately as the Head of Discipline Committee, Drake," Athena starts once she signals for the male to approach the redhead to the left of her.

Lucas momentarily paused during his patrol once he heard the information, he was tasked to find.

"She's important to me so your attempt to throw the book at me is pointless." The brunette sternly expresses with no remorse.

"I'm more than capable of separating the two but she was almost assaulted." He was explaining the situation after turning around to face Athena, Ivy, and Logan.

"Yet, what was the reason behind your attack on a participant?" She needles while she folds her arms underneath her chest.

"You don't think twice when you step on a cockroach, do you?" His response earns all eyes on him.

At this time, Buttercup eventually rounded the corner only to spot Drake in front of Athena, Ivy, and Logan.

"So you're willing to put your position over some girl?" Athena quizzes at the sheer nerve and blatant disregard of his job.

Green eyes were openly glaring in her direction before remarking, "Midori is not some girl. Why am I being interrogated for doing my job?"

"I would love to hear that answer since there always seems to be a personal beef with Midori?" The raven-haired teen inquisitively questions once she stands in between Athena and Drake but faces more toward the girl's direction.

Obsidian eyes temporarily divert her focus toward the newcomer to reply, "There's no personal problem however your friend tends to attract misfortune frequently."

This prompts the POKH Top to swiftly advance until she stands toe-to-toe with the teen, which prompts movement and eyes on them.

"I will not hesitate to violate the treaty if you ever dismiss any of my friends again," She honestly proclaims before she adds, "Drake…go get Midori…this conversation is over."

The others were watching as the brunette was speedily walking towards the nature trail.

Light green eyes stare back at dark orbs while she gives her the third degree, "Am I clear, Athena?"

Silence settles in between the raven-haired teens before one of the bystanders finally escorts the male to the infirmary.

"You will do well to watch your back with that threat, Buttercup." The Olympus Prep Top forewarns before she rotates and strolls away from the older teen.

Ivy was exchanging glances between the two before shaking her head and commenting with her hands on her hips, "Sheesh, could you two be any more like oil and water?"

"I'll talk to her once she's cleared her head…" She says before her sights land on Buttercup and adds, "I would suggest you do the same."

The WIT Top followed in Athena's path while Buttercup spared no thought to her intervention nor confrontation as she strolled back to her seat.

[Nature Trail]

"Talk about intense…it reminded me of when Jayden and I started to date." Obsidian eyes roam over at the orange-haired teen after her revelation.

"Boys and their egos, right?" Kaylee poses, which earns an audible giggle and a nod.

"Let's get off of this boys' nonsense…" She was dismissing their topic about boys before halting in her tracks.

"You know…I heard rumors about that little island over there." The MIT Top suddenly stops, twists her upper body and points out a sliver of land.

"On our next off day, we're going to have a test of bravery." She deliberately mentions as she waits for Midori's reaction.

"Really?!" The ginger curiously poses as her eyes seem to twinkle at the idea of paranormal activity on an abandoned and possibly haunted land.

Kaylee nodded her head then lifted her finger to add the icing on the cake, "And the winner gets a spooktacular surprise."

"Awesome," She squeals with excitement in her tone as she approaches the other teen girl.

"But you can't tell anyone since it'll be after curfew. Even we Tops have a life too." She gravely whispered while she placed an index finger over her lips.

Blue eyes soon caught sight of a brunette who quickly drew near their location over her friend's shoulder.

"Oh and looks like your knight has come to your rescue." The curly-haired teen teasingly quips once she spots the brunette over her shoulder.

Green eyes closely observe as the MIT Top finally separates from the redhead's side and heads his way.

His glare momentarily softens as if to convey, "I knew I could trust you."

The orange-haired teen merely nodded her head before she returned back to the pool area.

"Midori," He calls out to her as she responds with a glance in his direction before she faces him.

"Are you hurt?" His tone was laced with genuine concern as he steadily approached her.

"I'm just tired of not being able to react when I need to. I'm not helpless." She voices her feelings at the moment when she continues, "but I was thrown for a loop since this morning."

"Princess asked why was I so happy?" The ginger teen eventually spiels about her morning with her roommate.

"I couldn't tell her how I hung out with a guy, who fell asleep during Sleeping Beauty because he couldn't fall asleep."

Her dark eyes peer through her red fringes when she jokingly tosses out, "Can you believe the irony?"

Drake quietly chuckles to himself before he eventually admits, "It is funny."

"This is new to me? For me to like someone else." She openly confesses when her cheeks heat to a light pink color.

"I can't believe I just said that…so…um," Midori nervously stammers through her words as she deliberately avoids eye contact and awkwardly laughs once the realization hits her.

Drake closed the distance with one last step and gently planted a kiss on her lips, which prevented her to finish her statement.

"I've been waiting for you to say that ever since that day in the alleyway."

"I never knew greedy leprechauns practice patience." The redhead teasingly quips, which earns laughter from the brunette in front of her.

His sights notice a familiar face in the distance as none other than one of his lieutenant, who signals for him to come over.

"Alas…duty calls," He was annoyingly exasperating at the shoddy timing of his job during their special moment.

Drake combs his figures through his hair when he advises, "Make sure you stay out of trouble,"

"Yeah just like you should avoid shiny golden things," Midori retorts with a smirk on her face as she shifts her weight to her right leg and crosses her arms in front of her chest.

He flashes a similar smirk once he drops his hand from his head and adds, "I'll let you have that one lass, next time I won't go easy on you."

[Ivy and Logan]

"So we're going to write a report to keep for the records since multiple Tops and the Head of Discipline Committee played some role in this incident," Ivy started off with once she withdrew a pad to record his point of view.

"Is this really necessary?" The teen irritably questions once they were in the empty ballroom.

Ivy was pushing her glasses upward while speaking. "There are certain rules and procedures that your Top should've disclosed to you about due process, which if you haven't figured out is what I am in charge of."

"If a Top surmounts a certain number of infractions and reports then they're formally removed from any position of power after a completed successful investigation."

"So then why is he still here?" The teen cocks his head in the direction of the teen with curly blonde ear-length hair.

"Well you see he's Logan Rhodes, SoA Top, and my partner for today so he'll make sure I don't coerce you or you feel too comfortable with your persona." She explains Logan's presence with a smile present on her face.

The redhead crosses her legs at the ankles, spins the pencil between her index and middle finger when she asks, "So shall we begin?"

A few minutes later…

The young man was dismissed from the room when Logan felt the need to make known, "Drake's a good guy."

Ivy was tediously scanning the notes to upload to the database when inquisitively questioning his rationale, "What led you to that presumptuous statement?"

"He's the type of guy to protect his most precious person with everything he's got." Logan sincerely expressed completely unaware of his current facial expression directed towards her.

She opts to ignore the comment while she silently ponders over his statement, 'Most precious person, huh?"

"Boys and their need for their egos to get stroked." The WIT Top verbally uttered once she pressed the red button to begin the scan.
