Here it is! Lily's chapter! I hope ya'll enjoy it because I was a bit disputed about this one, I feel like I probably could have done it better but hey, I'm overly self-critical so it could be fine!

Heads up, there's nothing explicit but there's some slightly mature references (I promise it's still really tame though.)

"Uuuuuhhh… my head huurts." The groan, coming from a mess sprawled under the bed's covers, trailed off into a strained croak; the half-asleep figure crawling up into a ball and moving the sheets to obscure the bright Vacuan sun. "Mornin' Caden." The voice came again, slightly more composed this time; the other person in the room sat looking at the panel of the computer on the other side of the room, hearing her voice, he turned his head.

"Mornin' Lily. Left you some water and a couple'a painkillers on the table there." He said, turning back to his work. Meekly reaching out, Lily took a sip of the water with the small tablet, before retreating under the covers. "Hell of'a party last night." Taking a minute to compose herself, Lily sat up on the bed slowly, squinting at the overpowering light from outside the window.

"Damn straight. What time is it?" Lily asked, sitting up fully and turning to rest on the edge of the bed.

"Little after noon; I pressed your clothes and left them on the side there. They got preeeetty ruffled up last night." Caden replied, winking at her with a mischievous grin.

"You're a star. How you don't have a girlfriend yet, I'll never know." She chuckled, tentatively stepping off the bed, the sheets slipping off her unclothed body; standing up fully, she stretched her arms out and let out a huge yawn. "Enjoying the view?" She asked, peeking down with her arms still stretched up towards the ceiling.

"Savouring the moment." He answered, raising his eyebrows suggestively before turning back to the screen. "Got a clean towel over here if you want a shower." He continued, vaguely nodding his head at the shelf beside him, slowly walking over to him she gave him a hard pat on the shoulder before resting on him to reach over for the towel. Holding the fluffy fabric against her chest she hunched her back and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Whatcha lookin' at?"

"Just finalising my stuff for Haven."

"So you really are going, huh? Here I was thinkin' my favourite guy would join me at Beacon." Lily pouted, softly bumping her head against his as she looked at the text on the screen; all of it fairly standard legal and information queries. "What will I ever do if I need some company?"

"You're you, you'll figure something out." Caden replied, as he continued to enter information into the digital form.

"I knooow, but what if I never find someone as good in the sack as you?" Standing up straight again, Lily started to walk out of the room. "Then I'll meet you again when we're all trained and you'll have found yourself a gal..." Reaching the doorway, she turned around and leant against the hallway wall. "...and I'll never know true satisfaction again! The horror!" Holding her arm against her head as she sunk down the wall, feigning faintness; the speech would have continued if it weren't for the soft cushion from Caden's seat hitting her in the face. "Oh, I get it! You don't love me anymore, well I see how it is! Hmph!" She declared, standing back up and holding her head in the air.

Some time later, Lily found herself sitting on the bed once again, the large white towel snugly wrapped around her. The softer light of the afternoon Vacuan sun giving her fair skin a warm glow, and her faintly-purple hair shimmered in an enchanting shine as it sat comfortably on her somewhat broad shoulders. The towel clung tightly to her slightly-built slender frame, the light inclines indicating muscle evident without being obvious.

Pulling out her scroll, she opened it to it's full size and opened up the messaging service; sliding down the list of contacts she finally reached the bottom option, the little green light indicating that they were available. Tapping the tab, she readjusted her towel to make sure everything was covered; after about 20 seconds, the messaging screen minimised to be replaced with a camera view of an older girl, similar in appearance to Lily herself.

"Hey sis!" Lily said, flashing a cheeky grin at the screen.

"You're calling late, we've been waiting all day!" Lily's sister replied, squinting angrily at the screen before performing the same feigned pout she herself did earlier.

"Hey Amy." Lily sighed, repeating herself with a fed up look on her face. Admitting defeat, Lily's sister turned back to face the camera.

"Hi Lil'" Amy answered before looking away from the camera again. "Hey Vern! Hold the fort for a minute, will ya?" Met with a muffled complaint from somewhere else in the large kitchen, Amy called again; "It's my sister! I want to find out how she did on her entrance examinations!" A loud shout of realisation followed and Lily saw a hand stick up from behind one of the large ovens, with the thumb up. "Cheers Vern!" Exiting the kitchen, Amy looked back to the scroll and continued; "So where have you been all day then?" Looking down, she noticed the towel wrapped around Lily and sighed with exasperation.

"Who was it, Lily?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"Who'd you end up going home with?" Perching the scroll on a table, Amy rested herself on the bench opposite and looked at the character.

"Oh, right. Caden."

"Fair enough. You guys official now, or what?" Amy said, leaning back against the backboard of the bench and folding her arms.

"Nah. This whole 'casual' thing works great for both of us; and you know as well as I do that exclusivity isn't really my thing."

"Do I ever." The mumbled utterance was ignored by Lily, so Amy moved to change the subject. "So anyway, how did you do? Mum and dad've been calling me all day waiting for you to get in touch."

"Oh yeah! Hold on." Lily hurriedly minimised the chat window and opened up another message from her inbox, displaying her examination statistics. "Let's see… 84% average, 96% combat and 71% on the tests."

"84% is good right? What did you need to get to make it into Beacon?"

"70% to be considered, 80% for the guaranteed place." The phrase had been a mantra Lily drilled into her mind over the entire examination season, as her motivation.

"So my little sister's off to become a Huntress! Aww, I'm proud of you!" Amy's stony and exasperated expression shifting to one of absolute joy, a beaming smile on her face reaching ear-to-ear. "Well then, dear sister of mine, I'll run upstairs and let mum and dad know now. If you can get here before his shift ends, I'll get Vern to make some of his special lasagna that you love."

"REALLY?!" Gasping with delight, Lily flung the scroll onto the bed and scrambled to her neatly folded clothes, rushing to put them on as she continued talking. "I'll be over as quick as I can, alright? I'll just need to say bye to Caden and then make my way over."

"Cool, anyway I've been out of the kitchen too long. Don't make it a long goodbye, eh?" Amy replied, accentuating the last part with an exaggerated wink.

"I dunno, I might feel the urge…" Lily smirked, looking at the camera with a rather sultry bump of the eyebrows. Unable to focus on the performance for long, she burst out laughing. "Don't worry Amy, I'll make it quick." She said, delivering a similarly exaggerated wink alongside the addition. "Love ya, sis. See you soon!"

"Seeya soon Lil, don't be a stranger." Waving gently towards the camera, Amy reached forward and the feed went dead as she hung up. Rapidly buttoning up her shirt, Lily picked her scroll back up and shrunk it back down, slipping the small white oval into her pocket before jogging out of the room.

Whew! Glad to have that one out of the way. I know certain aspects of her personality came on quite thick in this, but I promise there is a method to my madness and I'll go into it a bit more when I do my trailer breakdown in between the final intro chapter and the first real chapter.

The next one up should be a bit more basic, making our way down to Vale for some sweet Grimm killing action and the introduction of our third (fourth if you count Nicky) heroine, the badass Miss Skye Kobalt! There'll also be another face from Team PUMPKIN.

Anyhoo, I'm going to give my poor fingers a break and stop typing for a while (bleedin' school). If all goes to plan I'll hopefully have Skye's chapter out Saturday night or sometime during Sunday.
