The next morning, Raven and Apple were eating breakfast when Briar and Cerise walked up to their table.
"So, I heard that you beat Daring yesterday when he challenged you to a magic duel," said Briar.
"You should have seen it, she used two Firaga's at the same time thanks to her dual casting skill," said Apple.
"It was nothing; sorry, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Raven Queen," said Raven as she held her hand out to Cerise.
"Cerise Hood," said Cerise as she shook Raven's hand.
"Oh, you're Ramon's sister," said Raven.
"You know my sister?!" asked a surprised Cerise.
"Ran into her at Traverse Town, helped her to defeat a Defender, thing was tough to take down," said Raven.
"Wait, you're the person that helped to get this shield for me?" asked Cerise as a Defender Shield appeared in her left hand.
"Yeah, Romona said that she wanted to make it a gift for her brave sister who wanted to help fight," said Raven.
"Thanks, Raven, this is the best gift I ever got," said Cerise as she smiled at the shield before sending it away.
"Hey, what about the necklace I gave you last year?" asked Cedar as she walked up while on her way to dump her tray.
"I was meaning it's the best gift from my sister, of course I love your gift more than anything else," said Cerise before kissing the wooden girl.
"Alright love birds, we have a new person here who didn't know your relationship," said Briar as she motioned to Raven.
"Oh, sorry about that," said Cerise as she remembered that she just met Raven and she had no clue about her being gay.
"It's alright, I'm actually gay myself," said Raven, surprising the others. Before another word could be said, an alarm went off.
"What's with the alarm?" asked Raven.
"It means a Boss Heartless just showed up," said Apple. Suddenly, the wall behind them was blown in.
"Time to destroy this school," said Faybelle as she entered the hole created by the explosion with dozens of Soldier Heartless. The Heartless symbol was on her right shoulder.
"Faybelle!" said both Raven and Briar.
"You know her?!" asked the two as they looked at each other.
"Well, well, well, both the girl I was sent here to capture and the one that brought the darkness out in me, it must be my birthday," said Faybelle with a wicked grin.
