The four arrived at the outer perimeter wall of the facility. Even if they were a long distance away the main school building could be seen. They made their way into the courtyard, where they were given the occasional awkward glance by the students. It was because of the clothes they were wearing though most of it was directed at double D's hat.

"My, this place is huge." the former commented.

Eddy whistled. "You didn't mention this joint was vast."

"Enough sightseeing we gotta schedule to keep. I've requested to meet with the headmistress." Bystander said

The group continued on their way. Unknown to them someone was closely observing one of them. Who it was is of the person's own interest. Slowly walking away to avoid getting seen while making a mental note for further reference.

They reached the school and entered through the main entrance. It was much larger on the inside, because of this the Eds had to stay close. After climbing up a long flight of stairs they reached her office. They walked in and at the center of the room sitting on a desk was an older woman wearing white religious robes.

"Hello again Sister Margaret." Bystander greeted

"At ease Bystander." she said holding up her hand.

"So, these must be the boys you talked about."

"Yes, and be prepared for one explanation." he then gestured to Double D to come forward and explain.

He told her of their plight. From the machine to arriving in their world and etc. When he finished Sister, Margaret was intrigued.

"That is quite a story you have there. Although its hard to believe considering that you are from another world that is very different from ours. Though with what Bystander has told me I believe it." she said

"Oh well I'm taking my leave to check out what's wrong with the verse. Also, to make this experience enjoyable I suggest you get a partner." Bystander walked out the door.

As he left Sister Margaret planted 3 sheets of paper on her desk. "Ok, sign here then."

The smartest of the trio looked at the paperwork. Double-D then rummaged through his hat and pulled out a pen and started filling up the blanks. When he finished, he set it aside and gave the pen to Eddy who did the same. After Ed wrote on the last line, the headmistress then took all 3 and put it in an envelope.

She gave the same casual smile before addressing them. "I have enrolled you three as 1st year students, welcome to West Genetics. Now this maybe a military facility but you still need to attend classes. Also, you need to study hard and learn to work with the Pandora and Limiters here."

"Oh, great more work." Eddy groaned

"Come now, Eddy surely this'll be an unforgettable experience for the both of you." Double D said

"You'll be staying in the first-year dorm rooms." she then produced 3 keycards. "Here are the keys to your rooms." each of the boys took one.

"It's located on the right of our facility."

"Thank you, mam we will be going there now." Double D said as he and his friends went out the door.

Following the directions given to them by the headmistress. The Eds arrived at a building with five floors. And after climbing up another flight of stairs reached the 4th floor. "You have your room key Eddy?" Double D asked his compatriot.

He then pulled it out of his pocket. "Yup. 427."

After passing a few of the rooms he found his destination. Eddy slid the keycard on the door lock and upon entering his jaw dropped. The place was truly a 5-star room it had everything from what he expected. 2 separate rooms, silk sheets, plush carpets, a well-crafted desk, soft towels, and best of all they smelled fragrant.

"Now this is what I call a room." he commented as he sat comfortably on one of the chairs

His other 2 friends went to theirs as well. The rooms were also like Eddy's, Double D pulled out his labeler and began putting labels on each of the furniture and items, Ed lied down on his bed and noted it was much softer than his mattress.

"This is much better than mine back home." he said

Their leader went out of his room and decided to explore the place a little bit. He then walked to Ed's room where the latter was still in bed. "Hey Ed wanna come with me and look around." Eddy asked

"Sure." Ed agreed

"Sockhead were gonna check this place out for a while."

"Ok, be sure to return." the latter replied as he went back to labelling.

The duo when down the stairs and explored around their temporary home. They went to most of the buildings that dotted the school. By the time they finished the sun began to set. The 2 Eds had taken a rest on of the benches outside. What Bystander said did raise a question in Eddy's mind.

'To make this experience enjoyable I suggest you get a partner.' he thought back

Eddy was undecided on the prospect of becoming the partner of a girl that was older him. The notion still persisted in his mind. But the question was if he can do it.

"The start of something new, right Ed?" he asked

"All is the same in an alternate world." the least bright of the trio replied.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Come on let's head back."

The two headed back to their dorms. By that time Double D finished with his work. After conversing a little they eventually went inside to sleep.
