THE BIG DAY

Abie was the first to wake up, she was making breakfast for both of them; chocolate pancakes, eggs and honey drenched bacon. A classic breakfast made by her that was quick if you were a multi-tasker like Abie. She want to wake him up around 7:30, soon, this time they made sure what time to get there. This was at nine, very reasonable, because the staff would want to make little adjustments to what they need. Abie wondered how they, the new students, would be presented as she begun placing the pancakes on a giant place for them. On the tour, Marie had reminded her and Ursa that the 'invitation' said to wear some formal attire.

She had brought an outfit just for it. A midnight black dress that went down to her knees, it had a single, bright yellow flower on its left side, and she wore silver shoes that had a small heel. This would match the steel headband in her wavy hair after sometime under a blow drier. She plans on using no make-up besides her usual, simple appliance of black eyeliner. She was so excited to put it on to impress everybody, it wasn't too much 'WOW' or anything under elegant. She didn't know what Ursa planned to wear, but she was hoping it was something nice too, he after doesn't care about his appearance.

The clock hit Ursa's wakeup call; Abie walked into his room then opened up the blinds. It wasn't too bright that would make anyone wake up on the wrong side of the bed, enough for Ursa to get up; he always anticipates the sunrise. "Wake up, today's the big day," She turned to him peeping out from under the covers. "Made us a big breakfast, my…" She thought up a name for her notorious meal, "The Big Day!" Abie smiled and walked out for him to really wake up.

When Ursa stepped into the living room he sniffed the air, "Big day, uh? Nice name, I do have to agree." He then sat at the table. Immediately grabbing the new bottle of honey, he looked over at Abie who was washing the dishes. He frowned, "Come on Abie, let's eat together. Forget about those dumb dishes for one second," She turned around and smiled, "It's the Big Day after all." He reassured, Abie chuckled at his double meaning of what day it was. She sat down and began taking some of each personality of the breakfast.

When they finished it was almost time to go. Abie had changed into her outfit before Ursa since he was taking a shower in his room, "So what are you wearing? I never saw you wearing anything formal." She asked.

"Your right, so I upped my game a bit. You'll see it in a minute, for such an occasion, change is good. Don't you agree?" He gave a good long look at her dress, her hair, everything. "You look stunning sis; you'll have all the guys drooling at your feet with one blink of the eye, eh?"

Abie blushed, looked down at her dress and smiled. She shook herself, "Ursa, shut up and let me see what you have." He nodded as he walked of, "And hurry we have to get up those stairs remember?!" He closed the door.

After a few minutes or so of waiting on the couch trying making origami with nearby tissues, Ursa stepped out of his room.

He wore a deep black suit with a minuscule hint of glitter; there was a black tie with yellow polka dots up by his neck. He had black shoes that seemed a bit used, but were nothing compared to the hat, that was an odd ball. It didn't fit in at all with the smooth look the rest of him presents.

"Whoa Ursa you look very fine, very fine indeed. You'll have 'girls' at your heels looking like that… Just get rid of the hat!"

Ursa grunted, "You know I don't care about relationships, guys could like me for all I care. What's wrong with the hat?"

"Trust me I couldn't care much either about that. The hat has to go because I say so, I'm a girl. Trust me on this one, man." She got up to him and threw off the hat. "Where did you get this anyway?" She looked up at him.

"Stole it from your dad." An evil grin waved onto his face. A closer look at him, he even sharpened his tooth that stoke out of his mouth.

Abie laughed then began walking to the door, "Come on, and let's get going. Those stairs are going to be hell in these things," She raised her foot to get another look at them.

"Don't worry, it's been worth it and it still will be." He smiled before he became a shadow and followed Abie out the door.

GATHERING

They had been right, those stairs were hell. If it weren't thanks to the wind blowing nice, cold air in their faces, they would have sweat their way to making the stairs a slip and slide. The hot sun and cold breezes were a total contradictory anyone in the city would be O.K with.

At the top of the stairs, they could see the schoolyard had become a jamboree of some sort. Many people were there taking and eating small foods on sticks. This was the moment.

"Do I look ready?" Abie nervously asked Ursa. Which he shook his head 'yes'.

"Me?" he asked.

She stared at his head; his hair seemed a little jumbled. She reached out and fixed it, "Yes! Now let's go."

As they walked into the yard, which was transformed into a beautiful outdoor party, they observed more about the decorations and students. The long tables were covered in white cloth and fine lace. There were red and black balloons on the pillars that lead to the maze of a hallway. Everyone was talking to each other, making new friends with other students. It looked like there were a lot of people who were accepted into the DWMA, maybe the "exceptional" was in surplus.

"Uh…Um…" Ursa started, "What do we do now?" The large crowds were getting both of them nervous and small. Their eyes quickly sunk to the ground as they noticed some people glancing at them.

"Lets hurry to that corner, maybe they wont see us~" Abie whispered like they were hiding.

They began to walk over to one corner, but another crowd of chatting students formed in it before their eyes. They spun around in a different direction, aiming for another corner. Once again the adjacent walls became occupied. They looked at each other with worry in their eyes. They repeated this three more times, but failed when they were all taken. They were about to cry from the pressure of eyes watching them from afar.

"Were screwed Ursa, it's destined..." She gasped in terror. Neither of them had been in such a place where they could stand out with so many other people.

"I have to change, its getting to me!" He complained.

"No don't!" But it was too late; he left her to become a silent shadow. "You JERK! I can't believe you!" Abie continued to fuss to Ursa. As she got a little louder, some groups began to look at her in confusion. She stopped and slowly turned around to more eyes targeted at her, she realized she was nearly in the center of the yard. She glanced to her shadow then again at them. She froze in terror, her fingers turned cold and her face pale. "And you were so excited to come…" she thought, still looking out to everyone.

One girl voice begun to giggle a little, and for some reason, everyone else returned to their conversations. Abie was tearing up, still standing still, hands down at her sides in shaking fists. She ran off into the closest hall, hoping she'd never make it out again.
