Mothra groaned slightly as thin beams of sunlight hit her face, forcing her awake. She rubbed the last remnants of sleep from her eyes, stretched her arms, and gave a quick glance around what, used to be, her room at her parents house. Over the last few weeks she had moved most of her clothes and personal belongings to her dorm room at Toho U, now it was mostly bare aside from a few posters and items from her childhood she deemed too embarrassing to bring with her to college. Her parents had convinced her to stay one last night before school began, upon her agreement they rolled out the spare sleeping and sheets in her old room. Mothra startled herself however upon checking her phone for the time to find that she had completely slept through her alarm, "What!?" she exclaimed "Oh nonononono... Okay... calm down, it's not that late." She began calming herself "My schedule is a little off, but as long as I don't get too distracted I should be fine." The silvery haired girl reasoned as she aced around the room before heading to the door. Almost immediately upon exiting she spotted her younger brother, Battra, he had red eyes, contrasting her blue ones, and black hair that he spiked up into three "horns" by using noticeable amounts of hair gel . Upon seeing his sister Battra, called down the stairs to their parents saying "Mother, father, the dark maiden has exited her chamber!". "Ugh..." groaned Mothra, "It's too early for this." She mumbled as she made her way to the bathroom, the girl was in no mood to deal with her brother, who was currently in the middle of the ever mocked "Chuunibyou" phase for middle schoolers. She remembered when her friend Manda went through it and declared himself a "descendant of the gods of Mu.", as for her brother, he had started claiming that one day he would "sprout great red and black wings" and "return Earth to it's natural state". She quickly washed up before heading downstairs to greet her parents and get breakfast.

"Good morning mom! Good morning dad!" the girl said cheerfully upon arriving at the kitchen. "Morning sweetie." Her dad said, nary taking a glance away from his newspaper and coffee, "Hi sweetie." her mother said with a smile as she set down a small bowl of fruit and a plate with eggs and toast in front of the girl. Mothra gave her thanks for the meal and talked with her parents about her hopes and concerns for college life, Battra occasionally making bizarre comments that she could only roll her eyes at. Mothra didn't let herself chat for too long though since now she had inadvertently put herself on a slightly tighter schedule than she had planned. After finishing her breakfast she quickly excused herself back to her former room to put on the change of clothes she had brought the night before. As she was about to exit though Mothra couldn't help but glance at her phones' screensaver, a picture of when she and all her friends went to the beach the previous summer. It was a goofy pic, her lifelong friends, the twins, Moll and Lora Ito, presenting Mothra while she posed like a goddess descending from heaven, Baragon burred up o his neck in the sand, sticking his tongue out to make it seem like he was dead, Goro, who preferred to go by his nickname Gorosaurus, doing a "Macho" pose, the picture was filled with such things, but her eyes always wound up drifting to the back of the picture, to the figure who stood directly behind her. Godzilla, standing in mid yell, his arms outstretched while Anguirus and Rodan hung themselves from them, cheering the big guy to keep lifting. Mothra loved the picture, in fact she had a framed copy of it sitting on her desk in her dorm room, not just because of the fond memories it had tied to it or because of how perfectly she felt it captured her friends personalities, but also for a personal secret reason, that it was the only picture she had of Godzilla without a shirt on, letting her clearly see a great deal of the muscles he'd attained through years of martial arts. Mothra intended to keep that last reason a secret that she would take to her grave. She must have spaced out longer than she thought however as she heard her mother knock on the door and ask if she was alright. "Ah!" Mothra let out with a jump, "I'm fine mom... just... a little nervous" she replied as calmly as she could to try and hide her embarrassment. It luckily worked, her mother giving a relieved "Okay.", after a few seconds to gather herself back up, Mothra headed downstairs and gave her parents a quick hug before saying goodbye and heading for the school.

Mothra jogged about half way to Toho U before settling into a calmer walk, now having made up the time she lost in the bathroom staring like a little girl at a photo of her crush since freshman year of high school. As she walked through the main gate to the college grounds she heard several students whispering about how beautiful she was as she passed, causing the girl to blush slightly. All those words disappeared though when she saw the figures in front of her. Mothra had known the three long enough to instantly recognize them, even with their backs turned, "Hey Goji! Anguirus! Rodan!" she called out, half skipping, half jogging towards the three. "Hey Mothy," Godzilla turned and answered with a soft look on his face and a matching smile, which caused the girls heart to start beating a million miles a minute "thought you were already at the auditorium or the opening.". The girl answered with a half truth about oversleeping with a smile and giggle since she counted herself lucky to see the big guy before classes started despite how the morning had gone. Upon checking her watch however to see how long she could stay Mothra was disappointed to find that if she didn't head off now she might wind up in the back and unable to see the podium from behind the taller students, she jogged off with a wave and a smile, a little down that she couldn't spend more time with the one person she'd hoped to see all morning. As she was leaving though she could faintly hear Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan, arguing about something but couldn't make out any details. She found that most of the student body hadn't made their way in yet so Mothra had plenty of room up at the front. She took a spot with a sigh before hearing two voices speak in unison to either side of her, "Hello Mothra." The sudden sound jolting the girl from her thoughts. "AH! Oh, Lora, Moll, really, it's so creepy when you two do that." Said Mothra, teasing the twins. "Heehee, we know, but Lora thought it would be funny." Replied Moll, generally the more level headed of the two, she always wore something red, and usually had her long hair tied up in a ponytail. "And I was right." Lora said, matter-of-factly, she had always been a little more of a jokester, she always something blue on her attire and had her hair cut to just past her jawline. Lora continued "We usually can't sneak up on you like that, what's the matter? Not enough time with your dream man?" she said with a sly grin, "WHAT? Lora!" cried Mothra, her face turning bright red. "Now, now Lora, don't tease her. Even if it is... admittedly funny." Moll said with a guilty smile, "Uuugh... I thought you two were on my side." Said a slightly defeated Mothra. "We are on your side." Contested Moll, "But, you must admit, despite being in love with him for several years now, you've told Godzilla, essentially, nothing.". "I can't!" Mothra bemoaned "I mean... he's... he's so... and... I'm just... and what if... so... you understand?" she muttered to the twins, twiddling her thumbs and her face growing ever redder. "Not at all." Said Lora, "You just kind of trailed off there, left us nothing to work with." "Look I-" Mothra began but was cut off by the rest of the students now flowing into the auditorium. She was thankful to have been saved from the twins, she loved Moll and Lora like sisters, but she really didn't want to explain her love life problems to them, at least, not now. 'Someday' Mothra thought to herself, 'someday I'll tell Goji everything.'.
