Welcome To Garden

---

The day was gloomy. The sky was gray, signaling that bad weather was afoot as Carie and Jess walked up the long gravel pathway up to Garden. Both girls hummed the Death March as their parents ushered them to the large building.

Jess shot a forlorn look to her twin and sighed. The two marched thru the gates and to the main entrance. A loud clap of thunder shot off into the distance as the guard cleaned their entrance. The girls gulped as they were drug further into the Garden.

"Oh, Hyne, uniforms!! They're trying to conform us, Jess! What communism..." Carie cried fakely on her sister's shoulder.

"Stop complaining," Selphie snapped and dragged Carie on. Jess shot her sister a sympathetic look.

Later that day, they stood in their dorm trying on their uniforms.

Jess scrunched up her face as she looked at herself in the mirror in the room she shared with her sister. Their parents had left hours ago. "These damn uniforms are so fucking itchy," she complained.

Carie walked over "Yeah, and the whole style is so wrong."

"Indeed." Jess agreed. "We look so alike, do you think we'll be mistaken for one another?"

"God I hope not." Carie grumbled adjusting her uniform.

Jess's face lit up. "But, say they did." Carie suddenly looked interested. "We could cause utter insanity."

"How?" Carie asked curiously.

"Like, confuse everyone. I be you, you be me. We could so totally mess with the teachers' heads."

"But our eye colors are different." Carie pointed out. "So if may not work as well, ya know."

"True..." Jess sighed.

The rest of their gloomy day was spent unpacking and getting settled. As the two finally finished, a beeping noise filled the room, followed by a very loud voice.

"Will Carie and Jess Dincht please come to the headmaster's office? I repeat, will Carie and Jess Dincht please come to the headmaster's office? That is all."

Carie turned to Jess and grinned. "Looks like we're already in trouble."

"I hate when they take all the fun outta it," Jess sighed.

"Huh?"

"Punish us before we cause the trouble, damn communist psychics." Jess muttered shaking her fist.

"Yeah, I hate when mom does that! It's so unfair." Carie commented.

The two trudged to the elevator and made their way up. It stopped on the third floor and they stepped out. A lady with black hair sat at the desk.

"Commander Leonhart would like to see you two," she said, gesturing to the door.

"Who?" Carie looked to Jess who shrugged then back to the lady.

"Yeah, the name sounds familiar," Jess whispered to Carie.

Jess and Carie stepped thru the door where a man sat behind a desk. He was about 5'11", and he had brown hair. His eyes were a stony blue color. Both girls stared in awe at the handsome looking man. Carie wiped the drool that cascaded down her chin with her sleeve. Jess shivered slightly at the man's utter handsomeness.

"Well, it's been a while since I've seen you two," the man started. Carie and Jess shot each other looks of confusion. "But, I knew from the first time I saw you that both of you were trouble. And I was right. You best not cause any trouble around here, 'cos punishment is much stricter. Now, down to the matter of it, here are your class schedules." He handed both girls a sheet of paper.

"I hope to be punished by him a lot." Carie said wickedly as they left the office.

"Yeah," agreed Jess, "cruel and unusual would be nice." The girls went off laughing receiving glares from the secretary and a raven hair woman sitting in the waiting room .

That night the two sat in their dorms. Carie was seated on the couch pealing a banana as Jess sat on the floor eating an apple.

"So what's you schedule?" Jess asked thru a mouth full of apple.

Carie whipped out her schedule. "First period weapon training, second period GF instruction, third period Magic lessons, fourth period Field training, fifth period lunch, sixth period free/training center, and seventh period study hall. What about you?"

Jess stared at hers. "Um....I have first period weapon training, second period Magic lessons, third period GF instruction, fourth period free/training center, fifth period lunch, sixth period Field training, and seventh period study hall."

"Well at least we are in some classes together. Man this place really sucks," Carie groaned.

"Yeah," Jess agreed. " I wanna go home."

"Let's go to bed. Maybe tomorrow 'll be better," Carie suggested hopefully.

"Sounds like a plan."
