Blue Skies and Rainy Days: Chapter Two

"Hey, Hilde, can you pass me the stapler?" Relena asked. She was working on some kind of file, and had papers spread all over the area of floor in front of her.
Hilde didn't even look up from her book. The stapler flew up from the desk and hovered right over Relena's hand. "Thanks." She said, grabbing it out of the air. All six girl were hanging out in Sylvia, Hilde, and Relena's room. The other three were in a different room, while the boys were together.
"Way cool." Whispered Mariemaya.
"See? Told you people have special abilities here." Dorothy winked at the young girl.
"I don't." she looked down at the floor.
"Yes you do. Otherwise you would have never been able to get into the school." Sylvia told her. "Just give yourself time."
"What's everyone else's power?" Mariemaya asked curiously.
"Well, I've got a photographic memory." Catherine told her. "So does my brother. We can also see much farther than the normal human."
"What's that mean? Photographic memory?"
Catherine smiled. "I can remember everything I see vividly, even for a second. Every detail."
"And you?" Mariemaya shifted her gaze to Sylvia.
"I can see into the future." Sylvia told her. "Only short periods though, and sometimes my power doesn't work." She sighed. "That's why I'm still in school."
"I can use telekinesis, as I just demonstrated." Hilde told her. "We're all in school still, Sylvia. I still haven't worked up to the level of teleporting a human."
"My powers are control of the weather." Dorothy said. "I can conjure up thunder, wind, lightning, and all that other junk. Of course, just like everyone else, my powers haven't reached the farthest level. Tornadoes and hurricanes give me trouble."
"Really? You can do that?"
"Yep, see?" Dorothy held her two index fingers about five inches apart from each other. A small stream of electricity, resembling lightning, flowed in between them.
"I've got Mother Nature's blood too." Relena said with a giggle. "I can make plants grow within seconds and control water."
"Wow. That's really cool." Mariemaya said. "What about the guys?"
"Let's see." Relena rubbed her chin in thought. "Wufei is an ace in martial arts and combat. It's unnatural, his skill. Duo is great in stealth. He can become invisible. And if anyone knows foreign languages, it's him. For some reason, he can pick up different languages very quickly. Heero has a sixth sense. He can feel danger before it strikes, and hear stuff far away that no one else can hear. Let' s say there's a storm coming towards us, for example. He can hear the thunder before anyone else does. Oh yeah, he can sense if Duo's hiding somewhere close by too." Relena giggled. "It's really funny, if Duo's sneaking around invisibly, usually because he's gotten in trouble with someone, Heero will find him because he can feel him out. Then he'll chase him around. Very amusing to watch."
"That's cool." Mariemaya repeated.
"Uh-huh." Relena nodded. "But lots of kids at the school don't have magic powers. They're extremely intelligent or excel in art or music. There's this one girl, Clara, who can play the piano like you've never heard it before. She's only thirteen, and yet some people compare her to Beethoven or Chopin."
Mariemaya nodded, processing all of the new information. "So, how do you find out if you've got powers?"
The other girls exchanged glances. "I think, it just happens one day." Sylvia said quietly. "I had a vision in a dream, and it happened three days later."
Dorothy chuckled. "I got really mad one day. So I was yelling at my friend and waving my arms around, and she was just staring at me. When I asked her why, she said lightning flashes were coming from my hand and going up to the sky. Then it started raining."
Hilde shrugged. "I come from a long line of magically-gifted people. My parents knew I'd get my powers one time or another, so they sent me to a smaller school near our house. When I got them, they put me in this school."
"I was really angry with Milliardo one day." Relena said. "He wouldn't buy me ice cream, I think was the reason. So I ran out into the backyard and sat under my favorite tree, fuming and talking to myself. It really freaked me out when the tree talked back." She shuddered.
Mariemaya just happened to glance at the clock. "Oh, geez!" she exclaimed, jumping up. "Guys, it's 6:53! We're going to be late for dinner!"
"Yipe!" All of them scrambled up from whatever positions they had been in and ran out the door.
"You're late." Wufei pointed out to the group of girls as they plopped down at the table. (Which conveniently seats 11, *wink wink*)
"I know. We lost track of time." Sylvia told him calmly, stopping whatever rude comment that was about to fly out of Dorothy's mouth.
"Trowa! You made it!" Catherine threw her arms around her brother and squeezed him. "I thought you weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow."
Trowa shrugged. "The shuttle was early."
"I assume you're rooming with Heero, Duo, and Wufei?" she asked.
Trowa nodded.
"He was going to be with Little Pete and Marcus Wakefield, but I changed all that." Duo said with a wink.
Relena placed her hands on her hips. "Duo, you didn't sneak into the office and edit the room list, did you?" she asked.
Duo shook his head. "Nope. I just asked Mr. K to switch him-this time."
Duo had once snuck into the office using his powers, to *ahem* edit the room and class list/play pranks once before. Everyone complained that he got to do whatever he liked when he was invisible, though, so he didn't do it anymore.
"Mr. K" was actually Mr. Treize Khushrenada, the head dean of the school. He was very busy, but spent as much time as possible with his students. Many affectionately called him Mr. K, as Duo had. Duo could often get Mr. K to do stuff for him, seeing Duo was one of his favorite students. This was only because Duo ended up in his office many of times for getting in trouble in class. Mr. K did not punish him though. He had a special ability to see the good in each of his students, and knew Duo was only trying to have a little fun. He made sure every student was treated right, and if anyone was harassing or bothering other students, they could face serious consequences.
Duo snapped his fingers. "I think we have a new student though!" he announced to everyone. "I heard Mrs. Wendell talking on the phone when I went to the office today. She was telling someone about registration fees and when the classes were and what time the student needed to be there. She said a name, but I couldn't catch it."
"You really think we'll have another new student?" Hilde asked. "Cool. Wonder if it's a guy or girl, and how old they are."
"I guess we'll find out tomorrow." Sylvia said, and they all nodded.
"Let's eat, I'm starved!" declared Dorothy.
Duo was roughly awakened by a pounding on the door. Drowsily, he rose from his warm, comfortable bed in time to hear someone on the other side of the door mutter, "--Don't those boys have an alarm clock? DUO! WUFEI! HEERO! TROWA!" Duo yawned and opened the door. Hilde, already dressed, stormed in, took one look at Duo in boxers, and giggled. "You're going to be late. Wake up, get moving! It's the first day of class!"
This was answered by loud snores from Wufei's bed. Heero pulled his pillow over his head, and Trowa murmured something about fluffy slippers. Duo mumbled something to Hilde and stumbled into the bathroom.
"You boys are pathetic." Hilde laughed. She went over to Wufei's bed first. "Wake up Wufei!" she called into his ear.
**SNORE**
"You don't want to be late for the first day of school, do you?"
**SNORE**
"I'm going to send Mariemaya in here, and she's going to wake you up--her way."
Wufei bolted out of the bed. "I'm goin', I'm going!" he cried, and dashed towards the bathroom. Unfortunately, he ended up crashing into the locked door. Mumbling something and rubbing his nose, he went for the closet.
Next Hilde went for Heero. "Heero, wake up."
"Don' wanna." He mumbled, and pulled the pillow tighter over his head.
"Well, you have to. Else I'm going to tell Relena you want to marry her."
Heero jumped out of bed in the same fashion as Wufei. Hilde giggled. She liked doing this. Lastly, she climbed over to Trowa's bed.
"Cathy, you can water the green calculator plants…… I took care of the parrot…"
Hilde burst out laughing, which jolted Trowa out of his, er, interesting dream. "What?" he grumbled.
"You better get your butt to class. No one is ever late for Lady Une's class. Believe me, you don't wanna be." She told the newcomer, glancing at his schedule.
"Fine, whatever…" Trowa wandered around, collecting his things for class. Hilde chuckled one last time and exited the room.
"Come on, where are they? We're going to be late." Dorothy tapped her foot impatiently.
"We might as well go on without them. They just woke up. It's not like we have classes together anyways." Hilde informed them.
Sylvia shrugged. "I've got Latin with Heero and Duo, first thing. I'll wait for them." She rolled her eyes. "That'll be interesting. Bet anyone five bucks at least half the class in snoring on their desks."
"I've got Latin first too, but I'm not waiting." Mariemaya told her. "See you."
Relena moved her backpack up on her shoulder to a more comfortable position, and then sighed. "Why can't they start school at a normal hour?" she grumbled. "I didn't get enough sleep."
Catherine giggled. "Wait a minute, am I actually hearing this? Relena Dorlian complaining about school?"
Relena glared at her. "Come on, let's go."
