Chapter 30: Untouching Reunion
Enid stared blankly as the woman left. "Um...What?" she asked herself. She then looked at the clock. "I better go find my dorm" she said as she stood up. She then took out the piece of paper that she was given that had her schedule and dorm number. She then began to wander the halls looking for her dorm. "Let's see. Where's my dorm? Suite 7, Suite 7" she started. She then came across a large door with a '7' on it. "Okay Enid, you made it to P.O.I.N.T. Prep, you aced the trial, you just gotta meet your roommate. What's the worse that could happen?" she said as she put a hand on the door handle. She then took a deep breath and opened the door. She stared around the room in awe. She then saw a female with mint-green skin and dark blue hair with a bow on the white couch holding a koala. She was wearing a pink dress that matches her bow and long white boots. "Oh! Good evening. Your the girl who did so well in the discipline exam right?" the girl acknowledged. "Oh thanks. I'm Enid. I like your bear" Enid said. She then leaned down to the bear's height. "I didn't know we were allowed to have pets here Miss..."she said as she waited for the girl to introduce herself. "I'm Miss Pastel and this is my pet koala" she said. The koala looked up at her angrily before it disappeared a puff of green clouds. Once the clouds cleared it revealed a girl with dark skin, indigo eyes, and long pink hair. She was wearing a P.O.I.N.T. vest, light gray shorts, gray heels, and she has a small gold crown on her head. She appeared to have oversized paws, a gray tail, and chest tuff like a koala. "I'm a princess! Koala Princess"She said angrily Miss Pastel. Miss Pastel only smiled. Enid laughed at this. "You guys seem like good friends" she commented. "You could tell huh?" the koala girl said. "Koala Princess and I have been friends since middle school" Miss Pastel explained. "Best friends!" Koala Princess exclaimed. "We bonded over our favorite hero in the world" Miss Pastel said. "We bet you can guess who" Koala Princess said. "Sorry, I actually have no idea" Enid said. "What?!" both of the girls exclaimed. "She's practically famous" Miss Pastel said. "And she's your new roommate" Koala Princess said. "My roommate?" Enid questioned.
They all heard the door open and close. "What's all the ruckus girls?" a voice asked. They all turned to see a girl with short blonde hair and tan skin. She was wearing a red velvet dress that has a poofy skirt with a white blouse under it. She also had a tiny red hat with a pink feather, light-red stockings, and white heels. "Elodie!" both of the girls exclaimed happily as they ran to greet the girl. "Elodie, of course" Enid mumbled to herself. The girls then began to shower the blonde girl with praise and compliments. "We were just talking to your new roommate" Miss Pastel said. "Oh, Enid" Elodie said disgustingly. "I mean, haha Enid! She was my middle school best friend" Elodie said semi happily. Enid could clearly tell that she was faking it. "Oh that's so wonderful" Miss Pastel exclaimed. "We competed for a spot here at the academy and when I won she was just so understanding"Elodie said. "Uh, I mean that's not exactly how it went" Enid said. Elodie let out a fake yawn. "Goodness, all this friendly chatter is just tiring me out. I think I'll go to bed early tonight" Elodie said as she walked off towards her room. "Goodnight Elodie!" The two girls called. "Uh goodnight" Enid said. Elodie then turned to Enid. "Oh Enid, you're so naughty" Elodie said with a light push before she walked to her room.
"We should all get some rest too. Koalas need 22 hours of sleep" Koala Princess said before she fell asleep on Miss Pastel. "Our classes start tomorrow so you wanna be well rested. Besides, I'm sure Elodie is super excited to catch up with her best friend" Miss Pastel said. "I wonder" Enid said as she let out a nervous laugh. "Goodnight guys" she said as she walked to her's and Elodie's shared room. "Night Enid" Miss Pastel called. "Elodie? You still up?" Enid asked as she walked into the room. She saw Elodie asleep in her bed. "Guess not" She said as she went and sat down on her bed. She then took out a picture frame from her pocket. "Looks like my school year is off to a rough start huh Ko? My roommate is Elodie and I have no idea where we stand. What would you do in my situation" she said before she put the picture frame down on her nightstand. "Well, I'm gonna make things work out here. No matter what happens with Elodie" she said. Her phone then buzzed, signaling that she got a text. She took out her phone to see a text from Nebula. "Good luck Enid! We are all routing for you and we all know that you will do amazing! Hope to hear from you soon" she read. She let out a small laugh before she texted her back and turned her phone off. She then put her phone on the nightstand next to the picture of her with Rad, Ko, and Nebula.
The next day, Bianca was with Doctor Greyman in his classroom. The students were all in their seats and Bianca was inputting their attendance into the computer. "Special abilities mean nothing without the wisdom to know how and when to use them" Doctor Greyman started. "Yeah, if you still have superpowers" the girl sitting next to Enid said. "Demon Queenie!" Bianca warned angrily. She then walked over to Doctor Greyman and pat his shoulder. "There there Doc. They don't know any better" Bianca said soothingly. "Doctor Greyman pat her hand that was on his shoulder and turned to the class. "Since this class is already so wise, you must be ready for a pop quiz!" He said. Biana then rolled him over to the podium and she pressed the button that revealed a scenario on the chalkboard. Doctor Greyman the explained the situation. "Double homework for everyone but the first student who can figure it out. Go!" he said. "That's a bit harsh" Bianca said as the students began to attempt to figure out the problem. Doctor Greyman shrugged.
"Attack the bush and take the remote!" Enid and Elodie both said. "Correct!Both of you" Doctor Greyman said. "How did you figure it out?" he asked them. Elodie then explained how she figured it out. "Excellent observation Elodie! Meticulous as always!' Doctor Greyman praised. 'But what if the trees were not a willow? Obviously the villain wouldn't want to be in plain sight' Bianca thought. "What about you Enid?" Doctor Greyman asked. "Um, I dunno. I just figured losers always hide in the bushes. You know?" Enid said nervously. "Spoken like a true spitfire. I love it! Well done you two" Doctor Greyman praised as he applauded. Bianca then turned to Doctor Greyman. "You sure you're good here Doc?" Bianca asked. Doctor Greyman nodded and Bianca headed towards the gymnasium to help Laserblast and Foxtail prepare for the following class. Once they were done, the bell then rang.
The students began walking into the gymnasium. Laserblast was in the P.O.I.N.T. aircraft piloting it. Bianca was outside directing Laserblast in the aircraft and making sure that the ropes were secure, while Foxtail and Chip Damage were with the students. "While your other instructors deal in the abstract, all that matters to me are your physical capabilities. These two sets of ropes extend far beyond what the average hero is capable of climbing. The first one to make it to the top wins! The losers get D's. D as in Disappointing. Show me that your exceptional students and that your worthy of P.O.I.N.T Prep's name! Who's first?" Foxtail asked the crowd. The students moved aside to reveal Elodie and Enid. The girls then took a hold of a rope. "On your marks" Foxtail started. "Elodie, what is your problem?" Enid asked as she let go of her rope. "Get set" Foxtail said as she raised her whistle. "Why have you been acting so weird?" Enid asked worriedly as Foxtail blew her whistle. The crowd began cheering as the girls began to climb. Bianca then joined Foxtail and Chip.
Suddenly, Elodie fell to a lower point on the rope she was climbing. The crowd screamed in fear of her life before they calmed down when they saw she was fine. Bianca sensed that something was not right and she glanced over at Chip. She was shocked to see his eyes glowing green. Bianca's jaw dropped. "Exceptional" Foxtail said as Elodie climbed higher on the rope. Specks of green began to fall from Elodie. One of the specks cut the rope that Enid was on and she began to fall. Elodie paused. Bianca noticed that Chip's eyes were no longer glowing green. "You're about to win why did you stop?" Foxtail asked. Elodie looked to the aircraft before she launched herself off the rope and saved Enid. The girls were swinging from one of Elodie's arrows as they glanced at the setting sun. They then landed on top of one of the buildings. "Enid! Elodie! You two went completely off course for this assignment. Your both getting E's! One letter lower than a D! E for Enid and E for Elodie! Class dismissed" Foxtail said angrily before she disappeared down a shoot. "Okay honey, time to land and get some food" Bianca said into the communication device in her hand. Laserblast slowly began to land. When he was at a certain spot, Bianca told him to stop as she made a high ice platform to that she could remove the ropes. Once she was done she cleared the ice and got out of the way so Laserblast could land. Bianca then went over to Elodie and Enid. "I saw what happened up there girls. You were both magnificent! if it were up to me I would give you both an L for loyalty" Bianca praised. She then turned to see Laserblast exiting the now landed aircraft. She then turned her attention back to the two girls. "You two go get something to eat then get some rest. You two have earned it" Bianca said. She then waved them 'goodbye' and walked off with Laserblast.
That night, Bianca was sitting in bed waiting for Laserblast to join her. "Something wrong?" Laserblast asked her. Bianca took a deep breath before she turned to her husband and told him what she witnessed.
