Harry slowly ambled up towards the hut he was supposed to be sharing. He was still thinking on the kiss goodnight he got from Sora, what was he supposed to do? Should he just act as if nothing happened, or take it as something more? He finally decided to just greet her the next day with a smile and hope for the best.
He opened the door to see that Matt was using the bathroom first and T.K was getting into his sleepwear. Harry walked over to the bed that he put his trunk by and got out his toiletries. Noticing T.K was looking at him fearfully Harry spoke up, "Don't worry, I'm not going to lash out."
T.K sighed in relief and asked, "Um...Do you want to use the bathroom first?" In a voice that implied that he was still intimidated by Harry.
Harry shook his head with a gentle smile and put away his guitar. Matt came out of the bathroom and T.K went in. Matt looked at Harry briefly and went over to his bed, picking up a book and started to read.
Harry shook his head sadly and got into his own sleepwear, a light cotton teeshirt and joggers. Matt spoke up rudely "Why are you wearing those?"
Harry looked at him with an annoyed look. "This is what I sleep in, problem with it?"
Matt just looked at him with a look one would give an alien before going back to his book. Harry sighed and walked into the bathroom as he saw that T.K had finished and opened his hygiene bag. He decided against an antiperspirant and just used standard deodorant after taking a quick shower. After brushing his teeth he walked out of the bathroom and sat down on his bed.
Harry looked at his Transer and saw that it was about 9:48PM and pulled out his headphones. Plugging in his headphones he saw that Lyric was already fast asleep. Turning on his sleeping music 'Ethereal' (DJ Sona) He followed suit, waiting for the next day to arrive.
Time Skip 6:45 AM
Harry woke up with a jolt, his dreams were filled with purple flames and the sky. Shaking himself awake he saw that the other two were fast asleep, he got up and groggily walked over to the toilet where he let his stuff. Taking a long shower and freshening himself for the day Harry got out his clothes and quickly got dressed. He grabbed his guitar, slung it over his back and went to the mess hall to get food before everyone else made a massive ramble get breakfast.
On his way, Harry admired the glow of the freshly fallen snow in the early morning sun. He was still getting used to the timezone but that couldn't stop him from seeing the massive tree covered in snow.
Walking into the mess hall he saw Aaron nursing a coffee, saying a good morning to a still groggy Aaron Harry went up to the serving table to see that there were all sorts of different foods on offer, even fish! Harry decided on some fibre rich cereal, as Grandpa told him, and sat down at the same table as he did last night. As he was finishing he could hear the telltale noise of the others walking towards the mess hall. Bracing himself for the oncoming onslaught of noise Harry went over to the caterers and placed his bowl on the tray labelled 'For Cleaning' with thanks towards the caterers and sat down as he saw Sora walk in. He waved a good morning and recieved one in turn before covering his ears as the chatter of the other children burst into the room like an airhorn.
Sora got her food first and walked over and sat next to Harry blushing slightly, she was still embarrassed by the kiss she gave Harry and didn't know how to respond. Harry smiled at her and spoke, "Morning Sora, sleep well?"
Sora breathed out and responded, "Yes I did, thanks, but did you see the snow, it was beautiful!"
Harry smiled at her exuberance and went over to the timetable, seeing as there was a free time for one hour Harry decided to go out to the river for inspiration. Telling Sora where he was going Harry went out into the chilling morning breeze and walked towards the river all the while admiring the snow.
Sitting down on the slope of the hill Harry pulled off his guitar and saw that Lyric was up. Smiling Harry asked,"Morning Lyric, you good?"
Startled Lyric looked up sheepishly,"Yeah, by the way, Harry could I come out to talk? It's kind of stuffy in here."
After getting the okay from Harry Lyric jumped out of the Transer, quickly building up its image. Harry could see that Lyric was happy to be out and asked,"Hey, am I the only one who can see you?"
Lyric replied, "Yea, due to out wavelengths similarities and that force coming from you, you should be the only one able to see me."
Sighing a breath of relief Harry spoke once more with a grin on his face,"So, you said you played music?"
Nodding Lyric asked why, Harry's grin got larger and asked,"Well then, from one musician to another, I'll show you some of my stuff."
Instantly alert Lyric propped himself up next to Harry and got ready. Harry decided on 'In the Blind'(Area 11) And set the Transer to play everything but the vocals and guitar.
Hold the line
Thespiatiactic answers...
After the song Lyric was suitably impressed, this boy had real talent. Speaking up Lyric said "Well then, while I would love to keep talking there is another girl with a blue hat behind you. I'll let you talk, see ya."
Realising that Lyric was talking about Sora Harry turned around to see said girl looking down at him with a large grin. She said in an energetic tone. "Harry! That was awesome, what do you call it?"
Smiling Harry replied, this girl was incredibly fun."I call it 'In the Blind', how long have you been here?"
Sora replied while sitting down on the grass next to Harry. "About the time you said Event horizons, what are those?"
Harry replied about them being a part of a black hole. Sora took this answer and started to talk about anything and everything. She and Harry talked for about 45 minuets before they heard the chatter from the others approaching. Harry heard snippets but they followed the pattern of 'Making Sora come back'. Sora heard this aswell and said to Harry with a voice that left no tone for contradiction. "Harry, I'm done being around them, they said nothing when your 'sister' and Mimi were calling me names but you, a person I had known for a day stood up for me. I'm staying with you no matter what."
Smiling brighter than ever Harry replied, "Ok Sora, thanks."
The two stopped when the group of other children walked over to the two. Harry stepped back, he knew that Sora was about to get loud and could take care of herself. Tai spoke up in what he thought was a reasoning tone. "OK Sora, here's the deal, you ditch the nerd and we'll forget this all happened, deal?"
Sora simply looked him in the eye and said, "No."
Tai replied as dim as ever, "What! Why?"
Sora took a deep breath and explained in a way that even a child could understand,"No, Harry is incredibly fun, witty and kind. When Rose and Mimi were calling me names you all just carried on playing stupid games, while Harry was there for me. He is not a nerd, just intelligent, something that I can't say for most of you. The only person that I still like in your little group is T.K, and that is because he was following his brother's example. Now, get out of here before I kick you out of here."
And right after she finished her righteous rant a brilliant light shone from the sky behind her. As everyone gasped Sora looked behind her and gasped aswell, there was an incredible light show going on in the sky and it was definitely not fireworks!
Harry silently nodded to Lyric, he knew that this had something to do with his appearance and what he saw when he scouted out the snowstorm. Lyric nodded and spoke to Harry ."Harry, I can detect 7 meteorite-like objects coming from the lights, get everyone back!"
Heeding the warning Harry shouted for everyone to get back. Too scared by Sora to refuse they all stepped back. And just as Lyric said 7 coloured lights, about the size of tennis balls, impacted into the ground in front of them.
As everyone was snapping out of their dazed state Harry saw that there was a device floating upwards at his feet. Biting the bullet Harry knelt down and grabbed the strange device. It was about the size oh his palm and was made of white plastic and purple highlighting, and had a clear plastic screen.
As everyone else grabbed their devices, who were about chest hight by that time. Harry noticed that the river had been whipped up into a massive wave. Harry shouted to the others, "Everyone! Brace yourselves to get wet!".
Everyone did as told after seeing the waves, Lyric jumped into the Transer as to not get separated from Harry in the EM-Disturbance waves. Just as he did that Harry and the rest were hit by the wave Harry was instantly got knocked off his feet. Everyone was swept along and blacked out, no idea of the journey they were bout to undertake.
