(A/N: I was using Esthar from FF8 as a source of inspiration in this town, so try using your imagination!)

"Okay! Calm down, people! Don't worry about your luggage, they will be delivered to you, now please board the lifts in an orderly manner!" A man shouted out through a megaphone, shouting instructions and trying to get his voice over the noisy crowd of teens and young adults.

"Weee! We're here!" Rikku shouted and jumped up and down, at the terminal. Their few-hour ride on the Ragnarok was now over, and all of the students were filling the large terminal in a rapid pace. During these few hours, Ione and Kichi had managed to extract some information about their oh-so-silent co-passenger, finding out that she had slight tendency to pyromania, often setting fire to various things… That's when Ione and Kichi decided not to get her really angry, Hyne knows what might happen then.

The terminal they all stood in was at the outskirts of the academy grounds, and it was a few minutes elevator-ride to the school. Actually, the elevators were more like floating platforms, making a regular route from the terminal, to the academy, back to the terminal, back to school, transporting ten students at each time. There were about ten of these "lifts", so all of the students would be in the academy in a matter of a few minutes. The first-years were going on them first, seeing that they all were going to have a small briefing about the school rules and such. Ione awed at the beautiful architecture of the terminal. Everything was polished and shiny, the walls were pretty much made of glass (strong enough to ward off possible monster-attacks) and the whole place was colored in a calming, blue theme. There were LCD-screens all over the place, showing miscellaneous things in them. The whole place was filled with talk, and it all seemed so surreal to Ione. She had never seen so many people in the same room!

"Okay, next patch! Keep the line moving! Oh, and if there's any room in the lifts, the second years can start piling in as well!" The elderly man called out with a megaphone and gestured at the newly arrived lifts. Rikku grabbed the daydreaming Ione, snapping her out of her daze and making her board a lift with them. Kichi dragged a slightly pissed Yuki into the same lift, alongside with the girls and some other first years. They all got seated and waited for the lift to move. When every lift was filled, they nudged into movement. First, it was pretty slow when it began it's climb up, but then it kicked into speed inside the tube.

"Whoah!" Rikku gasped as the breeze made her hair flow around.

"Oh Hyne, this is so fun!" Ione shouted back, making sure she wouldn't fall off. The tube turned see-through, and everyone in the lift admired the view beneath them. There was a small, town-like place, where people were moving around, walking in the pathways.

"Oh my! That's Etheris, the place you can visit on your free time!" Rikku informed Ione, as they both marvelled the calm blue and crystal-like buildings basking in the midday's sunshine. Suddenly, the lift began rising upwards. Every person in the small, round platform jerked a bit, it was a fast movement. As the lift finally became to a full stop, they saw a similar lobby to the terminal, but it seemed to be slightly smaller. A gruff looking man in his thirties was there to greet them. He had blonde hair, pilot's goggles over his head and a blue jacket.

"Okay, okay, kids! Off the lifts!" He barked they all obeyed. What, the guy looked scary!

"Go through this door here and wait until yer called." He instructed, constantly chewing on a small toothpick. They all quickly scurried off the platform and followed his instructions, walking through the door and into the lobby of Eternia Academy.

"Oh..." Ione breathed out.

"Hyne." Rikku continued and they both stared at the lobby. It was built in a circular form, and the diameter must've been close to 25 meters. The lobby continued all the way up, the ceiling situating itself somewhere in the altitude of one hundred or one hundred and twenty meters. The ceiling was made of some see-through material, possibly glass. Everywhere, on different stories, the current teachers and other staff of the school were gathering and taking a good look at the new first years. Small balls of fluff were flying near them, and some of the staff were staring, pointing at the students and talking. Some were leaning into the railings, the space between the floor and the railing shrouded with greenery. The whole school was colored with bright, crisp and soothing colors of blue, icy blue, white and other similar colors. All around, they could see different doors, windows, benches, screens and touch-sensitive hologram-panels. All and all, this could be described by a small, simple word:

Heaven.

Even though Ione was missing her family, she couldn't help but think that it wouldn't be so bad to live in the academy until the holidays. She felt a nudge and turned to Rikku, who discreetly pointed at a guy that walked past. Ione glanced at him. Not bad at all.

After all the first years were present, they were herded into an auditorium. Ione resisted the urge to suddenly shout "Moo!" as they went, but it seemed that someone else took care of that for her. A faint "Moo!" came from somewhere behind her, causing her and many others to crack up and begin laughing. The auditorium itself was absolutely magnificent. There were many rows of navy blue, soft benches and every bench had a table in front of it. At the front of the room, there was a big screen, a podium and the area in which this podium resided seemed to be made of glass and it was elevated. Ione awed at the sight, until someone pushed her forward and she stumbled into some benches. She glared at the guy, who just shrugged at her and went forward. The guy was her age (Duh!), he seemed to be muscular and he had silver hair reaching about his chin. He was wearing a black leather outfit. Seeing as she was practically lying on top of the benches, she chose that bench row to be hers. She went around to the middle of the bench row and parked herself there. No one was gonna move her from there! Rikku had seen a friend of hers in the crowd and excused herself. So Ione was sitting there, staring at the ceiling, seeing that it was wonderfully crafted.

"Hey kid! What's up!" Kichi greeted her and slid onto the seat on her left.

"Hi! Nothing much. I'm waiting for this info-thing to start." Kichi looked around.

"Well, it'll take a while, because these headless chickens here have the worst speed in getting to their seats." She said and glared at some people passing by. Ione rolled her eyes at her and just sat there, staring holes into the air itself and immersed deep into her own thought. Before she knew it, everyone was at his or her seats and her attention was drawn to the front.

"Ahem, your attention, please!" A woman with strange, dark green hair stood on the platform. She was wearing a long, navy-blue skirt and a white shirt. Her hair was tied loosely, and it was hanging on her right. She smiled at the full auditorium.

"It's good to see that so many of you have been accepted into our fine academy. I am headmistress Djinn Emeraude, and if you cause any trouble what so ever, you will have to deal with me. Got it?" Murmurs of agreement filled the large room.

"Good. And now, I will tell you all you need to know for now. Any additional info can be asked from the senior students, teachers, me or our website. Now, item number one: Student ID cards." She clicked a small button on a remote, and behind her appeared a big picture of herself, in a shape of a card. There were three orbs in the left corner of the card.

"These three orbs," headmistress started and a red circle appeared around the orbs. "Display your current level, your average school grades and your R-2000 robot's mood." She clarified, each orb flashing as she listed the uses, from left to right. The red ring around the orbs disappeared and appeared back into the lower left corner, around a square. It had a barcode in it and it said "Djinn Emeraude" in it.

"Here is your name and a barcode. The barcode is needed to track down your whereabouts, and it is used as a key to the doors.

Also, it is your most important part in your ID card, the barcode itself is your ID. And now, to the other parts of the card. Over here..." She pressed a button in her remote, and the red ring moved itself from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. It read 'in' underlined.

"This indicates your position. If you are inside the school-parameter, it will say 'in'. If you are outside, it will say 'out'. Simple, no?" Again, the students murmured in agreement. She pressed the button on remote again, and the red ring moved to the lower right corner, around a small, rectangular, golden area with a number 7195 on it.

"And now for the best part. Here is the current state of your student account. You will receive 5 Gil for each lecture you attend. It will be deducted, if you skip your lecture or your grades are bad. Upon completing an exam, you will be rewarded by the following: " She said, and on the big screen appeared a list, stating the following:

A- and up -------- 800 Gil.

B to B ½ --------- 600 Gil.

B- to C ---------- 400 Gil.

C- to D ----------- 300 Gil.

D- to E ----------- 200 Gil.

E- to F ----------- 100 Gil.

F- and below --- 100 Gil deduction.

"Now, this system may seem somewhat harsh, but we've noticed that this way, the students are more motivated when it comes to exams." Headmistress cleared up and smiled.

"Everyone with me so far?" She looked around for anyone who might have fallen off from her speed.

"Good. And now, off to the uniforms. There are three general types of uniforms in this academy, as you can see." The uniforms appeared at the big screen.

"Before you even boarded into our Ragnarok, you were asked to choose one of these three uniforms. I realize that boys have very little options when it comes to uniforms, but that's why all of the uniforms can me modified to certain extent. And then, our visors." The image of the uniforms faded away, and was replaced with a picture of the three visors.

"God, how long is this gonna take?" Kichi muttered and Ione agreed. Her butt was going numb...

"You were also asked to pick one of these three visor-types. Then you were asked to pick a colour that suited you the best. As some of you already know, these visors are vital when it comes to your life in this academy. Your messages, map, and VR-training will be displayed on these visors. Don't lose them, they are needed every day. The visors and uniforms will be on your beds in your assigned dormitories." Djinn looked at the new students sternly, as to clarify her point.

"And then, our multi-use-portable computers that many of our female students seem to be so fond of; our robots, R-2000!" A small, furry creature floated to her, colored in different shades of blue. It had big eyes, big ears, small wings and a tail. Ione admitted to herself that they were kinda cute.

"Tweet?" It beeped in a questioning tone, sending half of the females in the room into shouting 'aww' and otherwise gush over it.

"Each of you is given one of these. They are your notebooks, phones, computers, companions and important aids in your schoolwork. Be careful, though, because these little things need attention and care every day. All of this is stated in the manual. Now, I'll give you all 15 minutes to do your own robots. Input their colours and name." As the headmistress had finished saying this, small screens opened up in front of every student in the auditorium. A small keyboard popped up as well, and a small, completely white R-2000 appeared on the screen.

"Please select the colour for: Fur." This sentence appeared on the screen, above the R-2000. A colour-chart appeared to the right side of the screen, and Ione put her finger on the chart. She moved it around, watching as the small robot's fur changed it's colour as she scrolled through the chart. She was so excited, that she kept grinning like a total idiot. The auditorium was filled with soft murmurs, as the students began to talk with each other, all the while customizing their robots.

"What color, what color, what color, what color?" Ione panicked and clutched her head between her hands.

"Stop panicking, girl, and go with your gut-feeling!" Kichi stated, slapped Ione gently over her head and glared at her. Ione stared at Kichi and then at her own stomach. Just then, it let out a loud grumble, causing Kichi to hammer her head to the back of the seats in front of her. Good thing no one was sitting on that particular seat...

"Yeah, my gut certainly wants to tell me something." Kichi's glare intensified. Now it wasn't just a glare, it was 'thank-your-luck-we-are-somewhere-public' murderous stare. Ione began scooting away from Kichi, only to hit another student.

"Kichi-san is scary when she glares like that..." She mumbled and smiled nervously.

"Ouch!"

"Oh I'm sorry, I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!" Ione found herself looking at a girl, about her age, with brown hair and uplifted tips, green eyes and a funny, yellow dress.

"It's okay. I can understand why you backed away. Hi, I'm Selphie Tilmitt." She said and offered her hand.

"Hi, I'm Umino Ione, and Ione is my first name. This is Kichi-san, I met her aboard Ragnarok."

"Hi! I'm Selphie!"

"Hi, I'm Kichi." Ione peeked at Selphie's R-2000-progress.

"Waii! It's so cute!" The R-2000 had yellow fur, brown eyes, warm orange ears, wings and tail.

"Thanks! What should I name it?" Selphie asked and pressed her right index finger to her lips, thinking about it.

"Eh... Amber?" Ione suggested.

"Or, Ambra. Both mean the same thing, just a little different." Kichi calmly stated.

"Oooh, I like Ambra. Rare name! Thanks, Kichi-san!"

"No prob." Finally, Ione decided to concentrate on her R-2000. She closed her eyes and allowed her finger to glide on the screen. She stopped it and opened her eyes. Apparently, she had stopped it over lavender. She smiled happily; it was actually a good color. Then, everything just clicked into place: The robot's ears, tail and wings got colored with purple, and its eyes became simple and black.

"And now, for the name! Let's see... She's purple... Lavender? Noo, too long. Plum? No, too... Simple."

"Ugh, am I the only one with brains, damnit! Put 'Sumomo' as its name. It's cute, it can be shortened into Su-chan and it means plum." Kichi said, rolled her eyes and sighed. Ione looked at her for a while, and then glomped her.

"Thank you, Kichi-san! You have a great naming-sense!"

"Let me go!" Kichi shot Ione 'the-mother-of-all-death glares'.

"I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry, don't look at me like that!" After Ione peeled herself off of her now-quite-pissed neighbour, she typed in Sumomo as her robot's name, and Su-chan as its nickname.

"Thank you!" A message appeared on the screen, and then it shut itself down, retracting back into the table it came out of. Ione noticed that both Selphie and Kichi had finished their robots as well.

"Fifteen minutes are up! Those who are in the middle of creating, please hurry up, we need to move on!" Headmistress suddenly shouted and looked at the students. Slight shuffles were heard, and then complete silence.

"I take it that everyone's ready then?" The green-haired woman asked and beamed at the crowd.

"Lovely! Now, I assume you all know what our holo-maps are." Again, the people agreed.

"Wonderful. In any case, they are all on 3D-version, when the maps of the R-2000-robots are in 2D. They might be easier to navigate right now. Of course, when you feel confident about the whereabouts of the classes, you can use the 2D-map. But hey, this is just me, I got lost thirty-seven times on my first week here... Let me tell you, the teachers were not happy about that!" She chuckled. People were a little shocked about her statement, but eventually, joined her chuckling. Guess the teachers weren't so perfect after all. Always nice to know that!

"Oh, I think we're about done here." People were cheering now. "But before I forget..." Groans filled the large room.

"Oh come on! It's not that bad! I just want you to know that the R-2000 robots usually adopt their owner's personality, so there might be some fighting amongst the robots. Curfew time is twenty three hundred hours, or eleven P.M. At that time, you must all be in your assigned dorms, and if you are caught outside your dorm after that, you will get a detention. Any questions?" People were looking at each other, and then a Rikku raised her hand and stood up.

"Yes?" The headmistress gave her the turn to speak.

"Yea, um, what do you mean, 'if you are caught'?" She asked and patiently waited for the response. Even if Ione was very far away from the headmistress, she swore she saw her eyes glinting in mischief.

"Just that. If you are caught, and only if, you will get detention. If no one is caught, then we can't possibly give any detention, now could we?" She asked, smiling and leaning her head to her left hand, her thumb supporting her chin and her index finger at the side of her face. Ione could sense the atmosphere in the room lighten up considerably as she glanced at her neighbours. Both Kichi and Selphie were smiling, if not grinning at this new "revelation". The headmistress looked at her wrist and gasped.

"Oh dear, is it already that much? Well, before you go, I'd like to say this. Tomorrow's classes will begin at o-nine hundred hours sharp. Each of you shares a dorm room with three other persons of the same sex. You will all receive instructions on how to go from here if you visit your dorms now. You will have the rest of the day off. The "older siblings", as we like to call our older students who have volunteered to help the first years, will be outside waiting for you, so they could guide you to your dorms. Don't be afraid to ask them about the school! And now, if you will, your new pets!" She snapped her fingers, and suddenly, small balls of fur were starting to float down from the ceiling, all going towards students. The swarm of robots looked like a living rainbow, there were so many different colors!

"Oh wow!" Selphie squealed and watched the robots.

"Yeah." Ione breathed out and looked at Kichi. She, too, was awe-struck at the sight. Slowly, but surely, the small computers began to float towards their owners, flapping their tiny wings and dancing in the air. Three robots were floating to the direction of the three girls, each of them beebing happily. A purple-colored robot floated towards Ione, and she extended her hands towards it. It happily flew into them and beeped.

"Tweet! Beep-bop!" It beeped and from the position of the eyes, it was smiling. Ione looked at it for a while, then smiled.

"Aah! Su-chan is so cute in real life!" She gushed, and Su-chan flew to her face and kissed her cheek.

"Chu!"

"Eeeee!" Ione squealed, grabbed the robot and hugged it gently. She saw Selphie hugging her Ambra and squealing, making the robot mimic her squeals, and Kichi was currently scratching her robot from behind it's ear. When Ione brought the robot right in front of her face, it opened it's mouth. There was a small card inside, about the size of a credit card, if slightly bigger. Ione took it (even though she didn't really like the idea of reaching into someone's mouth, be it a robot or not.) and examined it. It was a picture of her smiling brightly, along with many circles, a barcode and a box saying "In".

"Ooh, look, look! My ID-card!" She said and showed it to Kichi and Selphie.

"I know! I have it too!" Selphie said and showed her own. She was smiling as well.

"Pretty hard not to have it." Kichi commented and showed her own, where she was smirking, her face in a ¾ view. Selphie rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean!" Kichi smiled triumphantly and petted her robot.

"Krhm!" They heard the headmistress clear her throat. Everyone fell silent, and listened to her.

"That's it! Now go to your dorms and explore the school! Hurry up!" She smiled and waved her hands in dismissal.

"Yes ma'am!" The whole room chorused together, more or less in sync. All of the students began pooling out of the auditorium, Ione and her friends among the last. After Ione had gotten out of the auditorium, she heard a voice.

"Okay, dweebs! We're the "older siblings"! Ask questions if you want!" Ione turned to the source of the sound, and her mouth dropped. No way... She began walking towards the young woman, bottling up her bubbling joy. The person, a red-haired, green-eyed woman was standing in the middle of a group of guys and girls.

"Oh my God, what is she doing?"

"I have no idea, but she wouldn't dare to approach her!" Some students were discussing.

"Approach who?" Kichi appeared next to them. The group of girls and boys stared at her like she was a retard, but after she cracked her knuckles, the all hurried to explain, now slightly terrified of her.

"The legend of this school! That woman there is Rouge Matsuri!" A boy said, pointing at the redhead with a toothpick in her mouth.

"Ya, she's like, one of the coolest students in this school!" A girl continued.

"I heard she once trashed an entire classroom!" Another girl said.

"And I heard that she single-handedly beat a T-Rexaur!"

"You so heard wrong! That's not possible!"

"I totally heard that she has won so many fights that she's like, the second teacher in the martial arts class!" Kichi rolled her eyes. Oh God, gossiping was something she did not like. Come on, a T-Rexaur? Single-handedly? Tch, yeah, right! Get real! She then turned to watch Ione.

"Roux Matsuri!" She called out to the vibrant redhead. She turned to Ione, just in time to catch her when she dived at her. Ione hugged her, and she returned the hug. She then, after releasing her, ruffled her hair.

"Why, if it ain't my little cousin Ione! How are ya, kid?" She smirked at Ione. She swatted Roux's hand away and tried to look angry, but her smiled betrayed her.

"I'm good. One thing. Why are you an 'older sibling'?" She made the air-quotations with her fingers. "You sure as hell don't seem like one!"

"Gee, thanks for the encouragement, kid." Roux replied in a sarcastic way.

"Naw, I was forced to do it. That old fart, Highwind, didn't like it when I accidentally smashed one of his inventions when I was brawling with some idiots." She shrugged and shoved her hands into the pockets of her black jeans. Her hands were covered with black, fingerless biker-gloves. She was wearing a black top that exposed her midriff, along with a bright red jacket.

"I heard that, Matsuri!" The man with the goggles and blue jacket shouted from the level one above the ground. He looked angry.

'Hey, that's the same guy that I saw earlier! So he's a teacher, then... How the hell did that happen?' Ione thought.

"Aww, shut yer trap, Highwind! I'm doing my time here! Sheesh!"

"Be grateful your classes ended last year, Matsuri! Or else you'd be in one big fucking trouble!" He shouted back.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Such language in front of these kids! Why, I'm abhorred by your behaviour, professor!" Roux snapped back. The man whom Roux called Highwind turned and waved his hand like he wasn't even going to answer that one. Ione stared at her cousin in shock, as well as most of the first years.

"You... You... You just dissed a teacher!" Ione exclaimed and stared at Roux.

"Heck, he's got a thick hide, he can take it." She waved that one off and turned at her friends.

"Hey cuz! Where are the dorms?" Ione shouted and Roux stood up straight.

"Oh yeah! That's what I was gonna tell you!" She snapped her fingers and looked at the first years.

"Okay, ladies! Me and my girls'll take you to the girl's dormitory, and the guys can follow Sephiroth and the other guys!" She said and patted the shoulder of a tall young man with really, really long silver hair. He was dressed in a black polo shirt and jeans. He sighed slightly at Roux's introduction.

"Come on, let's go." He motioned the boys to follow him and began walking away. Ione looked at the remaining group of girls and her eye twitched again. Nearly all of them were drooling after the silver-haired man, sighing like the lovesick girls they were. Few girls, including Kichi and Ione, seemed to be immune to his "charm". Kichi looked at Ione, rolled her eyes and motioned as if she had the noose of a rope around her throat, tugging it up and pretending to be hanged. Ione nodded at this and opened her mouth, pointing it with her fingers, pretending to puke. Kichi nodded at that comment. She walked up to Ione, as the girls began moving after Roux and the other girls. After walking to an elevator, the girls were divided into small groups, each one led by an "older sister". The robots were chatting away with each other, about lord-knows-what. Ione went with Roux's group, along with Kichi and Selphie. There were only two elevators, so only two groups were going up at a time. After they got into the elevators, and they began moving up, Roux began speaking again.

"Okay, ladies! The third floor is the dormitory floor; both gals and guys live in it. Savvy?" Everyone said they understood it. After they exited the elevators, they saw the other group was there as well. Their "older sister" was a woman with blonde hair, the school uniform number two and glasses. Roux greeted her.

"Yo, Quisty, this is my cousin, Ione. Ione, this is Quistis Trepe, a bit of a stuck-up, but a nice girl to read into tests with." She gestured towards the woman, Quistis. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Gee, thanks for the positive introduction, Red."

"No prob, what are friends for?" Roux smiled and began walking to the dorms. Ione waved at Quistis, who waved back and mouthed "nice to meet you". Ione mouthed "you too" back. After the girls were at the intersection that held many hallways lined with doors, Roux began speaking again.

"Okay, ask your robots where your rooms are." She said and waved her hand. The girls looked at her strangely, but did it anyways. Ione turned to her pet.

"Su-chan, where do I sleep?" The robot cocked it's small eyebrow, and then tweeted. It began to fly into the corridor marked G-4. Before she could run after it, Roux stopped her and handed her a small slip of paper.

"Call me later, kid." She smiled and let Ione go.

"Sure thing! Bye!" And she ran after her robot. It was hovering near a door marked 458. Ione petted her small companion, who purred in delight. She swiped her card into the reader, and the small red light turned green, and the same sound you hear unlocking a hotel door was heard. Ione opened the door, and walked in. She gasped in awe.

"Oh dear Hyne..." Was all she said. The room was spacey, and it had two double beds. One was at the left back corner, looking from the door, and the other was put to go along the back wall. There was one big window on the opposite wall from the door, and on the same wall with the door, there were cupboards. Below the window there was a loveseat and two recliners, all in the same shades of blue, along with a small, round, deep brown coffee table. The beds all had a curtain to protect the privacy of the occupants. On the right there was another door, clearly marked "Bathroom". Ione stared at the beautiful, light sky blue room, the wall-to-wall carpet and the lovely light-colored beds. She inspected the beds. They had name tags on them, but none of the said her name, except the lower bed against the back wall. She looked on the bed, and saw a small white box on it. It had a plastic "window" in it, allowing Ione to see her uniform. Her visor was on top of the box. On the small wall on the door side there was a screen, it looked like a computer screen. Ione noticed that her luggage was on top of her bed. She carefully removed the luggage and the box from the bed, and jumped on it, observing that she could easily sit on it without hitting her head into the top bunk. The screen was flashing, and there was a command on it. As Ione approached it, it seemed to activate the sound.

"Please identify yourself." A small text appeared near the right side. "Please show your ID at the scanner." A small panel slid off a small dark cube. The cube had a small, red light inside it. Ione dug her card out again and showed the barcode to the panel. Sumomo flew on her lap and looked at the screen, intrigued by the lights. The mechanical voice came back.

"Student identification confirmed. Welcome, miss Umino Ione." The female voice informed, and the screen changed into a dull, dark blue color, along with some icons on it. Ione stared at the screen, slightly dumbfounded.

'Oh Hyne, how much money are they putting on the students?' She thought and kept staring. She snapped out of her daze, when she heard the door open. She looked at the door, and saw her new dorm-mates: two girls were standing at the doorway.

"Hi!" She said and waved at them.

"Hiya!"

----------------------------

Oooh, what will happen to Ione? Who are her new dorm-mates? Why can't I have a bed like that? These questions will be answered (except for the bed-part) on the next thrilling chapter of...

Eternia Academy!

G'bye!

Well, friends, that should quench your ever-present thirst for stories. At least for the time it takes to wobble to a fridge and grab a bite to eat or a soda to drink. O.o
