Kira walked with his hands clasped behind his head, looking directly ahead as he walked down the hall, Athrun right beside him, he looked over to his friend; Athrun was staring straight ahead, following the large group of students making their way to the auditorium. Ever since he had seen her, Kira couldn't get his mind off that pink haired girl; this was the first time had felt such feelings over a girl, and it was a very strange feeling. Finally, he broke the silence between the two, his voice in the same trance as he was.
"So, what do you think her name is? Do you think she's here to be a pilot too? How about that hair?"
"Yeah, yeah. We all love the pink haired girl. Anyway, the auditorium's right over here." Athurn said as he threw his head up into the air; the truth was, he and Kira had been friends since birth and he surely didn't want a girl to come between them. He hoped Kira wouldn't be like this for the rest of the year. Kira looked away and placed his hands into his pockets, he spoke again, this time having returned to his normal state of mind.
"So, where do you wanna sit?" He asked, walking down the the rows of seats; the auditorium had black walls, with red carpeting and padded red seats. It reminded him of an theater, the massive stage with thick red curtain contributing to the feeling.
"Right here's good." Athrun said, nodding off to an empty set of seats off to their left. He turned into the row and took a seat, with Kira not far behind. The row was empty, much like the rest of the auditorium; they were among the first to arrive, and there wasn't much noise in the rest of the room. "So, what do you think the teachers are like here?" Asked the blue haired boy, looking over to his friend.
"Probably stuck up." Replied Kira, with a laugh.
Meanwhile, Botch Lacus and Cagali had entered the auditorium at the same time, stopping a few feet from the door. "Let's sit at the front, Cagali. I want to be sure to see the teachers."
"Whatever." Cagali replied, following Lacus toward the front.
Near the front of the stage, the older of the two sisters with shorter red hair sat, her legs crossed over each other as she waited in silence for the assembly to begin. She looked over to her left to see Meyrin staring back at her; the younger of the sisters quickly turned her head away and pretended not to have been looking. She looked back at her sister once more and spoke.
"Luna... I know you're not that happy about me being here, but could you at least try and make an effort to be a sister to me?" She spoke with a serious yet sincere tone, which was a bit unusual for the easy going girl. Lunamaria looked away from her and frowned; had she really been that mean?
"Look, Mey. It's not that I don't hate you being here it's just... No matter what it is, you always seem to be better than me. It makes me really angry sometimes th-" Luna turned around as she heard a voice from beside her, quickly turning back to Meyrin she spoke once more; "We'll finish this later."
"Is anyone sitting here?" Asked Cagali motioning to the seat beside Lunamaira.
"Nope. Take a seat. I'm Lunamaria, and this is my younger sister Meyrin." Replied Luna, giving a warm smile to the two girls, her sister poked her head out and waved shyly, giving a meek smile.
"I'm Lacus Clyne, it's a pleasure to meet you both." Replied the pink haired girl, with a huge grin on her face. "And I'm Cagali." Chimed in the blonde.
Just outside of the auditorium, Shinn leaned against a wall, a wooden door labeled "Boys" beside him. The door opened, and Rey emerged the sound of an automatic hand dryer echoing within the bathroom. "Took you long enough" Said Shinn as he turned into the auditorium door, bumping into someone in font of him."Sorry!" Shinn exclaimed as the tanned skinned young man tunred around to see who had bumped into him. "My fault, I shouldn't be standing in such a busy spot." Replied Dearka with a large smile on his face.
"Dearka Elsman." He said, extending a hand to Shinn. "Shinn Asuka" The blue haired boy replied, shaking the young man's hand. "And that's my friend Rey." He added in; Rey gave a quick nod to Dearka, and led the three into the dark room.
"My friends's already in there waiting for me, I think he's over here..." Dearka took the lead and let the other two to a row of seats in the middle of the auditorium. "Hey, Dearka, over here!" Yzak waved his friend over, Shinn and Rey not far behind. "I met these guys outside... That's Rey, and that's Shinn." Exclaimed Dearka loudly, pointing to each of the boys as he spoke. "Yzak Joule; it's a pleasure." Dearka, Shinn and Rey each took a seat, Yzak catching two girls in the corner of his eye.
"Hey... Check out those two." He whispered, pointing to a pair of girls who had just been among the last to enter the auditorium; one of the girls had short, red hair while the other had short blonde hair. They seemed a bit lost, looking around with no real sense of direction. "With our luck, they'll come sit with us." Dearka continued. "Ah, shut up Dearka. Talk about something other than girls for once." Said an annoyed Yzak.
"It's about time... We're the last ones here. Are there even any seats left?" Miriallia said as she began to trot down the aisle, Stellar in tow. The two forced their way through a filled row, taking a seat beside a red eyed, blue haired boy. Stellar turned to look at the boy beside her, the boy's head tuning around at roughly the same time; their eyes locked and they simply stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity. Shinn's breathing got heavier as Stellar's heart began to beat faster and faster, but before either of them could speak, the curtains parted and a man with short blonde hair began to speak over a microphone.
"Now that everyone has been seated, I will commence. However I must start of by announcing that your Principle, Headmaster Gilbert Dullindal will be unable to attend this ceremony, due to a matter that required his immediate attention. In his place, I, Rau Le Cruset your Vice Principle, master of discipline and head of the piloting program will lead the assembly. Now then; you, the best of the best have all been accepted into this Academy under the impression you exhibit traits in leadership, or piloting. We expect you all to live up to our high expectations and will only accept the best from you. For it is you, who will be in charge of our futures. Now, without further ado, the staff will introduce themselves one by one, following that I will give you a brief description of the school's facilities and schedule for today." The man motioned to a row of men and women behind him, and then stepped back to take his own seat. In his place, a woman in her mid twenties stepped up to the microphone, adjusting it to her height and began to speak.
"My name is Murrue Ramius, and I'm the head of the Destiny's English department. Together, we will explore literature both modern and ancient, breaking it down and analyzing the different literary styles and techniques used by authors. Next up is Mr. La Flaga." With a smile, she took her seat, giving the young blonde haired man beside her a turn to stand up and speak."Good morning, kids. I'm Mu La Flaga, head of the Health department... Unlike my beautiful co-worker Mrs. Ramius, I don't really have a speech planned, so I'll just pass the mic over to Reverend Malchio here." As he sat back down, Murrue gave him a leer, that told him to act a bit more professional the next time.
"You may address me as Reverend Malchio, I am head of the Social Sciences department. We well be exploring what humanity truly is, and delve deep into the minds of the masses. Next is Mrs. Badgiruel " As the oldest staff member took his seat, a young well-kept woman with short blue hair took the stand and spoke in a brash tone.
"You will address me as Mrs. Badgiruel; I am head of the Mathematics department, and will be teaching you basic arithmetic needed for those who plan to persue military carrers." She promptly took her seat, not even bothering to introduce the next teacher; in her place, a woman with light brown hair took stepped up and began to speak.
"I'm Talia Gladys; head of the Science department. We will be exploring the anatomy of the human body, Physics and the Universe that houses our homes in Space and here on Earth.. Next up is Erica Simmons." As Mrs. Gladys took her seat, another brown haired woman stood up, taking her turn to talk.
"Good morning to you all, I am Erica Simmons and head of the Technology department here at Destiny. We will be learning things such as how a mobile suit operates, battle ship mechanics and the like. Last but not least, I present to you Mr. Waltfeld." She stepped down, giving way to the final member of the staff; an older man stood up an adjusted the microphone to his height, and took in a deep breath of air.
"I'm Andrew Waltfleld, and I'm in charge of the Commander's program. I'll be teaching those of you enrolled combat tactics, ship functions and how to boss around your subordinates." He said, the audience laughing at the comment. With a nod he stepped down and gave way for Le Cruset to talk the stand once more.
"Now that you've been introduced to the staff, I will take the time to explain the school's layout to you. This is the main building, located at the front center of the grounds, directly to its East are the girl's dormitories, while on the opposite end are the boy's. Directly behind the main building are the various tracks and fields you will be using during P.E, you are also free to use the fields during recreational times and during weekend. Roughly five miles from the school is a small town with stores and recreational buildings, you are only permitted to leave to visit the town on weekends. With the exception of today, breakfast is to be served from Seven-Thirty to Eight-Thirty in the morning, classes will begin at Nine and proceed until Twelve, where you will be given a one-hour lunch break. Classes are to be dismissed at Three in the after noon, allowing for three hours of recreational time; dinner will be served from Six to Seven in the evening. All students are expected to be in their dormitories by Eleven O'clock and are forbidden from leaving the dormitory until Six in the morning, while there is no active "bedtime" we expect you to be in bed at a reasonable time, and will not be responsible for lack of sleep. On weekends, breakfast will be served from Nine-Thirty to Ten-Thirty in the morning." He took a deep breath, a quick look at his watch and continued on."Currently, it is Eleven-Thirty Six; after receiving your room numbers, and bringing your bags to the assigned rooms, you will be able to have lunch. Unpacking is to be done after lunch, with free time until dinner, which will be served at its regular time.

Active tomorrow, Sunday meals will be served at their regular times. In the main foyer, table have been set up to assign you rooms and schedules. You are dismissed, and, good luck this year to all of you." With that, the man made his way backstage. The students had all gotten up and began to poor out of the room, all of them in a frenzy to get their rooms assigned to them.
