Hi my dear readers, here is the next chapter... anyway I placed a little bonus in the end of the story so read it at your own risk I suppose xP
Aspen p.o.v.
After the lesson ended, I managed to slip away losing both Al and Flavio, now I was quietly marching through the packed corridor, making sure that neither of them would catch a glance of me again. Al's constant stupid pick-up lines made it impossible to hear what the teacher was talking about. Thankfully Flavio was more patient with his romancing progress. I wasn't an easy type of girl that would fall in love with just empty praises, after my previous crappy love story I tend to be careful within the love department, but I always found it funnier to sticking my nose into other's progress in love. After such long of a walk, I finally spotted someone.
"Hi!" I yelled waving my hands around to Catalina and Justice, somehow Cat's face turned pale and she grabbed the other's girl's hand and ran away. Has she seen a ghost?
"What was that about?" Flavio asked me, how could he possibly find me so fast?
"I don't know." I tried to reach a good conclusion in my mind but found none besides possibly that they didn't want to be seen with Flavio. I couldn't tell, then again maybe his gaze scared them away it was easier to become a predator on the other sex when alone. Did he purposely cut me off from my pack? Giving him a suspicious look I started heading to the next class, which was math. Al was now hanging around Erin, the topic for the day was sport. Did he enjoy Erin's company or was it all an act?
I had no purpose in joining their conversation just to find out Al's true intention, instead, I decided to feel sorry for myself because it was the math period, a subject I hated the most. I couldn't understand either Laura or Avalyn for taking a more difficult math course, were they also stuck with flirty men that were bothering them? When the teacher waltzed in everyone took their seats, I dedicated myself to meet all the girls at lunch and let them know of my superior plan.
Kuro p.o.v.
It was a math period, I was always aware that Jian, Lutz, and Luciano were in this class together with me, But only today did I take notice to Laura and Avalyn. Additionally, another girl was hanging by their side, was that the last chick we were missing? I started to scan her appearance just so I could recognize her from the crowd later. She possessed honey-brown hair with dark blonde highlights and chestnut-brown lowlights, her eyes were in the shade of gray-green.
"How do you like my new look?" she asked Laura, she just glanced at her hair once and muttered.
"If you want mode advice I would suggest checking in with Fantina." was she trying to be passive-aggressive? But then she added. "It looks nice I guess." Avalyn gave her a warning look answering the question herself.
"It looks amazing." the new girl seemed thankful for the honest compliment.
"Really Tabitha is that what you were up to during the sleepover, getting a new hairstyle." the girl shook her head repeatedly.
"No my dad demanded we go on a field trip as a family, without warning anyone beforehand, I tried to call you Laura, but everything was so hectic and when I recalled the sleepover my phone already died." It looked like Laura accepted her justification.
"That explains a lot." It appeared that Laura felt my gaze on her back because she turned around catching me in the act. I was expecting her to send me a glare, but she smiled at me? She soon mentioned for Tabitha to grab a place to sit. When Tabitha made contact with her chair the teacher strolled in.
The lesson passed by peacefully, none of the guys present here were trying to pursue any moves whatsoever. This made me wonder if Jian was going to participate in Al's plan. When I messaged him, his answer was following.
"Yes, after all, he offered me some money in exchange." would this fool try to spend that cash on weed? I sighed wondering where Al's plan would take us.
Aspen p.o.v.
Lessons went by painfully slowly, but finally, the lunch arrived. I was excited hoping for a minute of silence to represent my glorious plan, but Erin and Cynthia were making so much noise I couldn't let out even a single word. Even when eating those fools overtalked me Laura who sometimes had to deal with it send me a look filled with sympathy. Finally it calmed itself right before class when Erin and Cynthia nearly lost their voices.
"So girls can you guess what happened?" I asked them, but only Laura dared to shake her head, maybe they were all sensing I was up to no good.
"So Al and Flavio tried their best to flirt with me, after observing them for a while I concluded. They formed a wicked plan to make us fall for them, so in the long run, they can make those pictures perish. " I was proud of my findings and the crazy plan I was about to suggest.
"I think I have a hunch on where this is going," Fantina said.
"We going to deceive them that their plan worked, which means we will definitively flirt back." Laura shook her head declaring she didn't want any part of this plan, most of the girls used her as a human shield.
"I can guarantee that when you look at it back in the future, you will remember having a blast. Who knows maybe that's how you will end with your future husband as well." Laura was the first to answer.
"Deception isn't my cup of tea." such an honest person would have it hard, but I decided to bring that up.
"Think of it as a way to get over that person, we are young we should pursuit stupid decision." I never thought she would change her mind so easily because I brought Alfred to this conversation.
"But you have to realize, some of us are shit at flirting." Erin reminded me how some of them had no knack for flirting. I glanced at Fantina asking her to guide these fools that couldn't grasp the ropes of love.
"Why me?" she asked, but I reminded her she was the best for the job.
"No one has such various knowledge in this department as you have." I guess that was enough to convince her to cooperate. Undine, Laura, Erin, and Catalina decided to take advantage of free flirting tutorings. When we grabbed our sets suddenly the P.E. teacher made his appearance.
"Before we begin this lesson, your P.E instructor has a few words to say." came in giving instructions for an event we exclusively erased from our minds.
"Most of you must be aware that on Thursday we going to have a jogging competition, the distance is 10 kilometers long and everyone has to take part in it. The only excuse we accept is a doctors note, otherwise, we don't really care if you guys run, walk or crawl your way to finishing line, as long you complete it, it's fine." Even if all means were approved, everyone was aware of how the last place would be announced to who would make you suffer by paying extra attention to you in P.E. class, no one wanted to be touched by such frightful fate.
"Let's being our class." Mrs. Peterson announced, starting the topic about American Revolution. Sadly the time passed by slowly and none of the other guys tried their pick up lines on the other girls. Yet Al and Flavio were stuck to me like glue, were they having some kind of competition concerning me?
Kuro p.o.v.
Right after school I headed over to Lutz's place, I wanted some of my questions answered and it did seem like he wouldn't bother to answer unless I meet him face to face. Arriving there I was expecting the worst experience ever since both of the brothers were lazy and living alone their house was always messy. Once I made a wrong step in this pile of trash and sprained my ankle that's how bad they were at cleaning. Being allowed inside I was overwhelmed by shock since the whole house was so sparkling clean, I could see my reflection on the table. I was so excited about this change I had to let Luciano know what he was missing out on.
"You won't believe this, Lutz house is clean." Luciano though I tried to play a prank on him since only Luciano could threaten him to clean his damn place and that only worked occasionally. I send him over a piece of evidence and he said he would rush to see this miracle with his own eyes.
"What happened?" I asked looking around, there were corners I haven't ever properly seen before.
"I was bored and decided to clean a little," he answered, but I knew the only thing that came out his mouth were lies. Luciano came over pretty quickly, even if he had a poker-face I could tell how shocked he was at this strange occurrence. It looked like we needed to paster Lutz for some real answer. But if he refused, our next best bet would be asking Claudius.
Undine p.o.v. BONUS~
I was kicking the air with my little feet that weren't reaching the ground, everything was so quiet and calm, I just relaxed basking in the sun. The weirdest part was how I was possessing a body of a 12-year-old kid a red and black school uniform resting on my body. I wasn't too affected by this weird gear up since I looked adorable and that's all that mattered. Suddenly Erin popped her head in my field of vision, her figure also being one of a child.
"Why are you sitting here for? Come, Cat made us some cake!" she was tugging my sleeve, I just sighed and agreed to walk with her. Once I jumped from the bench I saw Laura standing there, with her petite child body she looked even shyer than usual. I melted at her cuteness and couldn't hinder myself from putting her in a bear hug. She let out a tiny "Kya!" sound, making me feel like a total pedo. Shaking that thought away I let Erin guide us, to whatever random hideout she mentioned. We stopped in front of a building that was made entirely out of glass, the hideout she mentioned was just a greenhouse. When we walked inside every corner was filled with trees, flowers, and bushes, the contrast made it all seem so beautiful I couldn't stop myself from admiring all the strange flowers that were growing here. In the middle of the greenhouse stood two tables, there were enough chairs to fit our entire group.
"We are here!" Erin yelled, announcing our presence.
"You don't have to yell so loudly," Fantina said all pissed off, sipping elegantly on a cup of tea.
"Where is the cake?" Cynthia asked impatiently.
"It's here, just let me place it on the table," Catalina said, but before she could take any further step Justice slid in and placed the beautiful cake on the table.
"Thanks, but why?" well it did seem weird how effectively Justice stole Cat's job.
"Because you are such a clutz Cat, we don't want the cake to go to waste." Erin voiced her concerns, I was still looking around, and spotted a dollhouse? I looked inside and found small people drinking tea and chatting. My eyes went wide due to shock. One of the small humans was dressed in this beautiful pink kimono filled with cherry blossoms.
"Undine, where did you go? I was so worried." she flew up and glued herself to my face. Seeing worry written all over her face, my first reaction was to apologize.
"Sorry." I carefully patted her head.
"Like I said Sakura you just overreacted." The other tiny human said, the one dressed in a judo outfit.
"But think about it Joan, she could have been kidnapped by those evil guys."
"Like they would have any use of her. Only someone as important as Fantina would be worth abducting." she seriously let out the same aura Fantina possessed, this tiny brat was also dressed like a queen.
"You're so mean Maria." Sakura protected me, I huffed truly agreeing with her.
"Please stop fighting, we are supposed to work together," Avalyn mentioned, not even budging on the fact how there were small tiny humans here that could talk.
"Sorry." All of them apologized in unison.
"Undine, come otherwise Erin will devour all the cake," Tabitha warned me. I took an empty place by the table, admiring how cute everyone looked. My desire to pinch all their cheeks just rose by every minute. Taking a bite of the cake, I hummed in happiness, it was so delicious. Erin was first to finish her piece.
"I'm so stuffed," I swear I saw her even snatching other people's cakes.
"So what now?" Aspen asked Fantina seemed to have been prepared for that question.
"We going to the mall, and maybe try the new bubble tea store." Everyone agreed, the small floating creatures accompanied us. The road there was filled with various conversation topics, and laughter, but our journey was cut short when something looking like black eggs came flying towards us.
"Heart unlock." All the girls yelled in unison, I just looked at everyone dumbfounded. Sakura shook me away from my frozen state.
"Come on Undine, let's do it too." I yelled "Heart Unlock!" like everyone else not knowing what to anticipate.
"Change Transformation, Kicking your ass!" I saw Laura changing into the Judo outfit that Joan was wearing, was that her chara?
"Change Transformation, Baseball Ace!" Erin yelled, now she looked like a professional baseball player.
"Change Transformation, Imperial Ruler!" Of course, I was expecting nothing less from Fantina, coming here looking like a queen with a large puffy red dress and a fur coat resting on her shoulders.
"Change Transformation, Police Officer!" Was it because of her name, since she was called Justice, she was standing there now with a blue uniform holding two guns in each hand.
"Change Transformation, Artistic Soul," Cynthia said, her clothes were stained with paint and she held a huge brush in her left hand.
"Change Transformation, Pure Intentions." A pair of angel wings came out of Avalyn's back, a beautiful white dress was resting on her shoulders, floating with the wind.
"Change Transformation, Lunatic Sounds." Tabitha was dressed in a black cape, looking as if she was leaving for an important cult meeting.
"Change Transformation, Skater," Aspen yelled, a skateboard was resting in her hand, while she was rocking those boyish clothes.
"Change Transformation, Sunshine." Of course, Catalina would be our literal sunshine, having this magical aura behind her, this yellow dress sure fit her making her look like a sun goddess.
"Change Transformation, Cherry Princess." So Sakura was my chara since now I was wearing the same kimono she had, with a little addition of a fan that was now inside my palm. Being thrilled I jumped around like the little kid I was now. But who would have thought I would see those guys as little kids here as well.
Lutz looked like a Neko that emerged from a manga, Kuro, of course, had to be a samurai, Oliver's outfit was hinting at him being some kind of crazy cupcake. Al was wearing a doctor's outfit, I tilted my head confused, but something in my mind told me he was representing a vet. Jian looked like a successful businessman. Vlad, on the other hand, had all the rainbow colors implicated in his outfit. Flavio came parading in a king's outfit. I looked back and forth on him and Fantina.
"I think I found a match." Doing down the line I saw Luciano dressed as if he was ready for a masquerade party. Matt was shining there like a bright star, I had to cover my eyes to see Vincent properly that stood by his side. For once he didn't look like an addicted mofo which made me question whatever it was Francis standing there instead.
"We meet again poppets." Oliver the cupcake said, I couldn't hold back my laughter because this outfit was ridiculous.
"What's wrong Undine?" Cat's eyes showed deep worry as if she thought someone sprayed me with laughter gas.
"They all look so funny I can't take this anymore," I said collapsing to the ground while holding my stomach. This was the opportunity to mess around a bit before they launched their attack.
"Laura you must have some strange kink for cat ears, I dare you to touch these." I pointed at Lutz that looked uncomfortable while glancing at Laura.
"He thinks of you as a predator." I was laughing even more, but who would have thought that Laura would accept my dare and in a blink of an eye, she ran to him and touched one of Lutz's cat ears. She returned just to exchange a high-five with me.
"What do you think you doing to my friend?" Kuro aimed his sword at Laura. Avalyn of course on their side.
"Why are you guys fooling around?" Laura shook her head.
"I'm serious at all time, this is the path of material art. I will fulfill all my desires with these two hands of mine." I started clapping admiring little Laura's dedication.
"Is your second wish to abduct him?" I asked not expecting much although I saw her eyes sparkling. I nodded.
"We are the predators now, kidnapping innocent young boys." I was hit by Avalyn and Catalina that were disagreeing with my speech. It seemed like I annoyed even the guys on the opposite side since Oliver attacked us.
"Cream attack!" thanks to Erin's quick thinking I could evade the sticky attack.
"On the battlefield, you always need to pay attention to your enemies." was Laura filming a movie with her cheesy lines? But I had to giggle at the cream attack, which made me think was it edible. Would Laura scold me for eating mid-fight?
"Star attack," Matt yelled, glowing starts were heading our way but Catalina took out the attack with one of hers.
"Sunshine Laser." I decided to try something out as well.
"Cherry blossom." I waved my fan and a huge amount of pink cherry blossoms emerged, attacking the guys at full speed.
"Rose blossom." who knew Luciano would also have flower-based attacks. Matt tried to mock my attack power, pissed off I continued the attack.
"Sakura Tornado." A pink tornado would have hit Matt if it wasn't for Lutz the Neko. At least the black eggs become purified and they flew away.
"Good job." Justice praised me, while still focusing on her fight. It didn't seem like the guys had enough just yet.
"We are not done!" Jian yelled sending an interesting attack at Laura, who just dodged and punched him in the face.
"Deadly punch." that seriously didn't look like judo, was the uniform there just for show and misleading her enemies? Because Laura was suddenly in the enemy's reach Vlad took it upon himself to send her flying with his rainbow force.
"Rainbow crash." Laura was sent flying but with Fantina's supporting magic she landed safely. Erin seeing our best friend being defeated rushed to Vlad attacking him with multiple ball attacks. I thought he would go down, but Al had healing magic? Kuro took this time to charge at me, probably as an act of revenge for before. I used my cherry barrier, causing his sword to become stuck. Even if Jian was hit he managed to pick himself up, I found myself in a tricky situation since no one was beside me to help me out. Suddenly I heard Laura scream.
"Ears." as on command I covered them. Avalyn and Tabitha put their powers together, with an angelic lullaby and sound strengthing spell they put every guy to sleep. Exhausted I fell down, smiling to myself about the victory.
A huge slam echoed in my room, I looked around and realized that was nothing but just a silly dream. But we won against them in my silly dream so I was having a positive outlook for the future. Nevertheless, I realized I watched too much Shugo Chara the day before.
Right I forgot to mention that Claudius is 2p Prussia, but you may have figured it out already (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)
