"I have to admit Mate, that was one of the most condescending things I have ever heard," Pan complained. "I mean come on, wasted potential. We have yet to show him anything, what a load of crap." "Yeah, I get what you're saying, but let's see what happens tomorrow with initiation," I try to reason to him. Desperate to change the subject I tell him about the weird guy I met before the assembly. "So let me get this straight: this guy with this huge cloak just dropped his book on your face, apologized then walked away without telling you his name." "Yeah you just perfectly summed up what I just told you, congratulations you have won a prize for most observant person I have ever met," I respond. "No need to get hostile Mate, I just think aloud more often than not. Though I can't say I have ever met a guy like that at Signal, which gives us some options: He could either be from another Kingdom like you or he never went to one one of the academies, which would mean he is either a prodigy or was taught by people in the frontier," Pan stated looking rather proud of himself.

"Sorry to break it to you Pan, but your reasoning there doesn't help us with finding out who this guy is," as I say this I can see the crushed look in Pans eyes as what I said sunk in. "Well thanks for being a party pooper, because you just pooped all over my party. But back on track, we could always just try to look for the guy. I mean how hard can it be to find one person in this crowded room?" "With how short I've known you I can't yet tell if you're being serious or sarcastic," I respond. "And one day you will my friend but that day is not today, so here's the plan; you will start going that way and I will go the other way to see if I can spot that auburn haired guy, and Break," Pan said as he rushed off in what I now realized was the direction of where the girls were sleeping. Pan might die, so I got up and began walking in my directions with my eyes open for the guy when I suddenly heard someone angrily shout: "What the hell are you doing on this side of the room you pervert." That voice now extremely familiar as I turn around to confirm that yes it was that grey haired chick from this morning. Who had punched a guy into a wall, Pan will probably not survive this.

"Look luv, this is all a big misunderstanding. I came over here to try to find some random guy, that my mate had sort of met when the other lad dropped a book on his head. It's really quite simple luv," Pan tried desperately to convince her of his innocence. With just one look at the pissed off grey haired girl, he could tell that his friend needed his help. As he speed-walked over the girl said "Listen you pervert, I have half a mind to just smash your face in right now. And the other half is beginning to agree with it," as she finished saying that her fist was poised to punch Pan right in his face. So I as the great person I am walked over to save him by tapping her on the shoulder. This distraction proved fatal as she elbowed me as she turned around, I instantly regretted going to help him in that moment.

As I lay dazed on the ground, I realized that the girl who had socked me sitting above me. She seemed regretful as she said, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you I was trying to punch that damn perv. Please forgive me." And now the chick looked sad as well as guilty, great. So putting on my best smile, I say to her "It's alright, this happens to me all the time." For some reason she blushed a little, weird. "My name is Walter Aspen but you can just call me Wasp, what's your name?" "Mine name is Ash, well it's Ashley Bolide. It's a pleasure to meet you too, I guess," "Great now that we know each other," I say as she pulls me up, "I would like to introduce you to my buddy Pan-," I finally look around and see that Pan is gone, "and he has vanished, or I guess you could say he Panished." Ash groans deeply at that one, though she did flash a little smile. "That was terrible, but you were trying to find someone right. Maybe I've seen whoever it is," she responds.

I crack a smile as I tell her about the guy I had met earlier that day. "And he just dropped his book on you and didn't even tell you his name, what a dick," Ash says in response. And at that I cracked a smile and began to laugh. "Okay, why are you laughing? You just started out of nowhere and its kind of weird," she says looking uncertain. "No sorry, it's just that today has been just crazy. I mean I saw you punch a guy into a wall," she looks kind of embarrassed when I say that, "I became friends with one of the weirdest Faunus I have ever met, I ran into the weirdest guy who just dropped a book on my head because he was in a tree. And finally, I just saw said new friend about to be punched by the same girl from before. This day was just crazy," I chuckle out. She looks sheepishly around as she says "You saw me punch a guy into a wall, shoot I was hoping you were in another one of the ships. But back to what we were talking about; I can't say I have seen him." "So I am basically back to square one, except now I am down my cowardly partner. But seriously does no one know about this caped dude,"

"Actually," came a brand new voice, "I know exactly who you are talking about." I turn around to see that a new girl had walked up dragging Pan by the back of his shirt. "I mean this caped creep you're talking about he had auburn hair, right," the raven-haired girl said. "Y-yeah, how did you know what we were talking about," I ask her nervously, maybe a little too nervously. I mean that nightgown was a little two low cut for her ahem "assets" which were a little on the big side. "Oh, I'm sorry, you were being a little loud when you were talking to her" she said as she pointed towards Ash, who seemed to be getting a little angry," And I couldn't help over hearing. Your friend was also very eager to tell me more when I asked him," she looked down at Pan who at further inspection seemed to be terrified at his current situation. Noticing me staring at him, the raven-haired girl let him go. He then proceeded to crawl next to me as he slowly got up.

"So who is he then, since you were going to tell us right," I say. "Hmm oh right; the caped guys name is Susanoo, I've known him for a long time actually; you could even say we're childhood friends," she says with a smile that kind of creeped me out. "Okay now that you've told us his name could you tell us yours," Ash asks. "Hmm what do you mean," the girl looks at Ash expectantly. "Well you just came into our conversation and you never introduced yourself at all," Ash said. "Oh I can't tell you that," "And why not," "Because that would ruin the surprise, now I hope you all have a good nights rest," she said over her shoulder as she walked to where I could only assume her bedroll was. "That girl creeps me the hell out," Pan says after he finally regains his voice. "She's just like one of those old ladies in fairy tales, you know the ones feed you a whole lot of sweets and then try to eat you." "You could say that again man. Hey where did you go when I was talking to Ash," I asked. "Oh once you saved me from being mauled by the She-Beast" "Fuck you too" "I craftily escaped in order to not be destroyed, unfortunately for me that chick grabbed me and asked what I was up to. She said that in the most calm, gentle voice that almost made me faint from fear. I was like a mouse about to be eaten by a snake, that level of fear."

"You are the saddest pervert I ever met goat boy, and I don't say that lightly," Ash curtly responded. "Don't call me Goat-Boy, She-Beast. Come on Wasp we can look for whatever his name is later," Pan stated as he dragged me back to where we were sleeping; I waved back and smiled at Ash as she waved back. It was pretty weird seeing the jovial Pan look this angry. "Hey are you okay man," I ask hoping to calm him down a little. "I'm fine, I'm going to bed," He shot back at me. After deciding that there was nothing that I could do to try and calm him back down, I decided why not and tried going to sleep too. It was only as I closed my eyes and began to drift off that I noticed a black cloak in the distance.
