Chapter 11: More Newcomers and Weekend Set-Up

*TIME SKIP TO FRIDAY*

"*sigh* FINALLY! It's almost the weekend! I cannot wait! After that, Last Week of School!" Raffina shouted.

"Geez, someone's in a hyper mood." I said.

"You have to be happy that school's almost out, Kaze. I don't wanna go through the same process with this thing over there." Raffina said while pointing at Klug.

"This thing? You must be referring to your loud mouth."

"Why you…"

"Tell me what's the reason for you guys to argue with each other." I said to Raffina and Klug.

"Well… Let me just say that she is my Arch-Nemesis." Klug said.

"Because you are making me look like one." Raffina said.

"To be honest, Klug, I kinda have to agree with her. The reason why she is acting this way is because you are trying to insult in various ways that make her want to attack you in any way possible. You were nice to me before, so why don't you be nice to Raffina as well. She's just wanting more respect out of you. Otherwise, she is gonna turn fiery." I said.

"Kaze…" Raffina was shocked by what I just said to Klug. Then he looked at Klug, who was thinking about it.

…

…

"Well…" Klug still had time to think about it.

"I can accompany you too… I-if you want, Klug." Lidelle said.

"I can also show you some respect, too. Just like how I did to Kaze. All she is asking is that if you have learned your lesson." Raffina said.

…

…

…

"Well… I guess Kaze… may be right. I guess I was too harsh on Raffina for all those times that I have bothered her much ever since we first met here at Primp Magic School and we started a rivalry. So I'll turn over a new leaf, Raffina. I'm sorry for trying to make you feel so offended and wanting to have you attack me for the insults that I have said that were not necessary…"

"Klug, you don't have to be at fault for all the things that you have said. We may not like each other for that purpose, but you don't have to beat yourself up for being the reason why you are really annoying in the first place. We've been in this school for many years. Graduation is coming up in a few days, and there's gonna be nothing with you being Mr. Goody Two Shoes if you just be nice to everyone. Especially me."

Raffina's explanation was so strong that it made me wanna trust her more and everybody else too. It was probably because of what I said to Klug about turning over a new leaf and starting to become friends with Raffina.

"Well… Yeah. I guess that makes sense. But I'm not turning over a new leaf with Feli." Klug said while crossing his arms.

"Ugh… of course you don't." Raffina said.

"What?! Trying to steal away Lemres is not a good sign for me."

"Well, too bad, four eyes." I heard a new voice coming from outside and it was a little deep in my opinion.

The door then opened and there was a girl with long hair and it was the same color as me but it was a little darker as it was a normal purple and also had blue eyes. She had somewhat of a red string ribbon on her hair, (I don't know how she got that, but I don't care.) her uniform was a little… gothic for some reason. I can't even tell for some reason about her outfit. I'm just… out of options. She also had two crooked sticks on each hand. Why would she bring sticks? She sounds a little weird to me.

Another came a man with all of his clothing green. His hat, cape, shirt… somewhat orange or yellow, pants, shoes, everything green. He had grey hair, along with a broom. He must be a witch or a warlock.

"You have poor fate, so why bother my Lemres?" The girl then said.

Lemres?

"Bother him? HA! I'd rather bother you more than him if my knowledge is correct."

"Now now, you two. Let's all be nice. How about if we eat some Chocolate Cupcakes with some Whipped cream and chocolate syrup?" The man named Lemres said while holding a cupcake in his hand.

Seriously? He's really into sweets?

"Uhh… no thank you. But I'm glad you came to see me." Klug said. The girl then rolled her eyes, noticing that Klug likes the tall man more than her. I'm guessing that these two have a lot of history together.

…

Wait! Is this the girl Klug was talking about?! I wasn't even paying attention a few minutes ago!

"Same here, Lemres! Feli! Oh, and do you mind if I have that cupcake, Lemres?" Amitie asked.

"Of course. Eat to your heart's content." Lemres said as she took the cupcake out of his hand.

I never knew Amitie would be on a sugar rush.

"Hey, guess what. We got a new student in our class. You mind saying hi to her?" Raffina asked Lemres and Feli as she wrapped her arm around me, already putting me on the spot.

"The names… F-E-L-I. Remember it well." The girl named Feli said.

"How do you do? My name's Lemres. I'm known as a comet warlock. You have a name?" Lemres asked me.

"I'm Kaze Matsuzaki. You can call me Kaze." I said to them both.

"Ok, so what business do you both have with us?" Klug asked them.

"We are just stopping by to see how things are coming along."

"Kaze, is it? You must be from a different dimension. Where are you from?" Feli asked me.

…

…

"Uh… United Kingdom?"

"She's from another world. She calls it a country but It doesn't exist here in this world that we're in right now." TaruTaru said.

"Understandable."

"I wanted to ask you why you have two sticks." I asked Feli as I had no hesitation to ask her why she has two sticks.

"What? These? They're not just sticks. They're dowsing rods. I use them in the occult art of divination."

…

…

…

…

"The… occult art of… divination?" I was so confused about that term.

"Here, let me explain that to you, for once." Klug said as he took over for Feli.

"You see, Feli was known to be gothic when we first met her. She's quite elite when it comes to working with the occult art of divination. She sounds a little scary when she works with divination rituals and her screeching voice, which drives me insane, comes out.

But honestly, she's really good at these types of stuff. Always works on it all the time… not all the time but sometimes. And yeah…"

"Ok… Thank you for that. Anyway, do you have any fate, Kaze?" Feli asked me.

"No… But you can ask Raffina." I said to her while smiling.

"What?! Kaze! What the heck?!"

"She actually doesn't have fate. I might as well talk to that ocean prince guy." Feli said.

"Ocean Prince? Are you sure?" Lemres asked Feli.

"He may be the only one that I know of."

"When are you gonna teach me your skills, Lemres?" Klug asked him.

"Wanna try tomorrow?"

"Yes! I'll try tomorrow! Anything!"

"*giggle* Ok. Anyway we gotta go. It was nice meeting you, Kaze. Hope we see each other again someday."

"Yes, we will." I said to him.

"Later, Four eyes." Feli said as she closed the door on the way out.

"Geez, that girl." Klug said.

"At least she didn't mess with you for once. I wouldn't bother it if I were you." Ringo then said.

"It would be difficult, but I guess that's my only choice for now."

At the end of the school day, I thought about wanting to sit in the fountain again, but I can't get bored. So I decided to find Amitie and see if she wants to stay at my house to give me some time to talk with.

…

…

...

Or maybe I can invite more people over to give me some more enjoyment in my life.

But then all of the sudden…

"Hey, Kaze." I heard Raffina call out to me as she was trying to catch up to me which I didn't expect.

"Oh? Raffina?"

"I'm trying to see what you were planning on doing. That's all."

"Walking home. Why?"

"I was trying to see if you were bored or anything, we can just walk around together, you know."

…

"Walk around?"

"Yeah, you know, hang out over the weekend."

Well, she can be one person I can totally hang out with. I never noticed why I'm not focusing on her more.

"Well I was planning on inviting people over at my house so if you wanna come, then that's fine with me."

"Really? I can't be a bother coming over to your house?"

"Well, you are my friend, so why reject you coming over to my house. You have been there for me since day 1, so It's not like I'm not gonna trust you to come over."

"Kaze…" Raffina didn't know how to take it… but then several seconds later, she hugged me, trying to show her gratitude for what a true friend should deserve. I didn't even expect that at first, but I'd let it go.

"I appreciate it… and I'm with you all the way." Raffina then said. I then returned the hug back with a smile on my face.

"Same here… I'm with you all the way. But! Two things. One: if you plan on trying to date me, I would have to decline because I want to be straight because kissing girls is not my thing. Seriously."

"Wait! Hold on! Date you?! Kaze, I didn't mention anything about trying to date you!" Raffina shouted, looking extremely blushed.

"O-Oh… did I mistakenly bring that up?" I asked, looking confused.

"D-Duh! I only like boys!" Raffina said, trying to take it seriously.

"Oh… well that's good. Because for some reason, it felt like the two of us… I rarely watch romance… and I think it kinda led me to thinking that…"

I then looked away from Raffina while looking blushed.

"...The two of us… being… being… I don't like using that word."

"You mean that we're a lesbian couple?" Raffina asked.

"Uh… Yes. That."

"I understand. But I'm glad that you only date boys. It would be so weird if you date girls."

"I know… A majority of people in the United Kingdom are not lesbians. So you don't get to see them very often."

"Oh. That's good to hear."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Um… no, not at all. I haven't found one just yet."

"Oh ok. Oh yeah, and the second thing I was about to say was I'm not only inviting you. I'm inviting a lot of people like Amitie, Lidelle, Klug, TaruTaru and all the other people.

"You are inviting a lot of people? Are you sure you want to do that?" Raffina asked, looking shocked.

"I know this may sound too much work and there's a lot of people to invite, causing us to be tired and making us want to go to bed early just because we were scattering around Primp, searching for our friends just to get to my place and hang out, but I can't let my relationships with all of you come to a downfall just because I didn't give them a chance to see my new home because they think I would be accused of taking only one friend with me just to try to give me some enjoyment around here in Primp. So we must try to invite all of our friends here so we can maintain our status of our relationships with each other. Do you want that?"

…

…

"Well… yeah. I guess you're right. I do care about mostly, but I definitely do care about Amitie, Rulue, and the others as well. And I can't forget about their relationships as well. So I guess I could work with you… for a fee of $1,000."

"I'll kick you." I said with a sweatdrop.

"HA! Revenge is Sweet, Kaze. Ok, seriously. I could work with you. Now let's go find some friends that we can invite."

"Yeah. Let's."

We decided to find Amitie first since she has a strong bond for both of us. Raffina told me that she usually hangs out in the playground, so we headed over there first.

"Hey there she is. And she's with… Sig? I haven't seen these two together ever since you got here." Raffina said.

"Yeah, I remembered Lidelle and Sig were together trying to go look for bugs last week. It was a weird feeling."

"And it was a weird feeling for me that Sig said something about bug season before you first arrived here. I was just out of it. But in a way, Sig is really into bugs. He's keeping all of his bugs in his collection."

"True. Anyway, Let's go talk to them." We then walked over to the duo who were on the slide.

"Amitie. Sig." I said to them both.

"Hiya, Kaze! Raffina." Amitie said.

"Oh… Kaze. Wuffina." Sig said.

"RAFFINA, SIG! How many times do I keep telling you I have an R in my name?!"

"Pfft… Wuffina." I managed to hold in my laughter as Sig made me laugh at what he just called Raffina.

"Oh, be quiet, you."

"So what are you guys doing here?" Amitie asked.

"I was wanting to see if you and Sig wanna come hang out to my home for the weekend. Wouldn't be boring to be lonely with nothing to do when you got me and my new home to come sit, chill, and play games."

"Totally! That's what best friends are for! Right, Sig?" Amitie asked her friend Sig while wrapping her arm around him.

"Uh… Yeah."

…

...

"Well, that was simple." I said to Raffina.

"Yeah, agreed."

"Are you bringing Ringo and Arle as well?" Amitie asked us.

"Yeah. She said that she is bringing everyone in her home so that she can enjoy herself over the weekend."

"Wow. That's nice. This is gonna be so much fun. Teehee!"

"Now we must go look for Rin…"

"Hey, guys." As soon as somebody cut me off, I looked over to see Ringo and Maguro were below us on the playground slide.

"Oh. Hi, Ringo. Hi Maguro." I said to them both.

"Hey, Kaze. We're trying to see what you all are up to." Ringo said.

"We're trying to invite some people over at my home. I was trying to ask if you and Maguro wanna come over and hang out with me." I said to them both.

"Totally. Who would wanna be bored around here in Primp when you got us after all?" Maguro said with a smile.

"Yeah, Maguro's right. It's the start of the weekend anyway so I'm down for it." Ringo said also with a smile.

"Thanks, Ringo. Now I'm gonna find Arle."

"Are you trying to be a workhorse?" Raffina asked me.

"N-No. I'm only trying to see if Arle wants to hang out. That's all."

"Let's not forget about Klug too. And TaruTaru." Amitie said.

"Oh yeah. That's right. Also Lidelle." I said.

We were now heading to this base Arle and her friends were at. I'm not just only inviting Arle, but Witch, Harpy, Serilly, Draco and all other people too. They support me, so I must return the favor.

"So is Arle all by herself?" Amitie asked.

"No. She brung most of her friends from her world. Including Witch. It's normal for her." I said

"Oh… because you might not know this, but I remember we were all doing a Puyo tournament and All of us, excluding Ringo and Maguro, and a few friends got sent here just to play. It was really fun though."

"Wowie… Luckily I wasn't part of it. I wouldn't know what to do."

"I mean you got all of us, so it shouldn't be too much to handle." Raffina said.

"Yeah. That's true." I said as I entered the base.

"Hey guys." I now said to everyone.

"Oh, Kaze. You're here. And… Amitie, Raffina, Sig, Ringo, and Maguro. What are you all doing here?" Arle asked.

"Are you trying to make this party more fun?!" Draco asked.

"Well… Alternatively, I just wanted to ask if you all wanted to come over to my house."

"Yeah… I'll decline." Schezo, with no hesitation, said.

"Huh? Why not? Don't you wanna have fun?" Arle asked.

"I'm not into this stuff. You are gonna try and ruin my peace. I don't have fun normally in my life."

"Of course you just don't wanna have fun." Witch said as she facepalmed.

"Honestly, I think you have too. Schezo, we didn't let you stay here just to let you sleep and take anyone's power. We want you to have fun as well. Just this once." Chico said.

"She does have a point. I don't have that much fun, but I'll join you." Rulue said.

"I know that I don't have fun that much, but I said what I have said. Now can you leave me out of…"

"Or we can make a deal. I have an attic that is just so quiet in there. No one's gonna try and bother you in there. You can also bring your blanket with you. That way… you can sleep in there. And have all the peace and quiet to yourself. Do you want that?" I asked Schezo.

…

"Hmph. I guess the attic does sound quiet. And I can sleep there.

…

Ok, Fine. I'll go. But just promise me you will leave me alone after that."

"Sure. I can deal with it. But, for one condition."

"Tch!" Schezo did not sound happy at what I just said.

"Like Chico said, you're gonna have to learn to have fun with all of us. Otherwise, we are all just gonna call you a party pooping perv."

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Most people were laughing at what I have just said to Schezo.

"HEY! CEASE YOUR LAUGHING AT ONCE!" Schezo Yelled.

"I'm sorry… it's just too funny to hear." Harpy said.

"Right on." Draco said.

"Ok fine. As long as you're giving me peace and quiet, then I'll have fun."

"Thanks, Schezo." I said.

"That's nice and all, but are we actually taking "him" too." Ringo said while pointing at Suki.

"Um… No." I said.

"Say what?!" Suki shouted.

"I mean I know you're nice and all, but you kinda creep us all out in your appearance, so I'm not gonna try and invite you."

"He doesn't get to go, but I have to go?!" Schezo shouted.

"Schezo…" Arle said with a stern look.

"I'm sorry, Suki." I said.

"Whale, it don't matter. I was plannin' on going to the beach anyway. So make sure to take care of y'all selves now." Suki said as he was running down the forest to head to a beach.

"Thank you, Kaze. This fish just drives me insane. I can't stand him." Raffina said with an annoyed look.

"Wow… that's rare." I said.

"But can't we just get food while we're at it? I mean, what if we're hungry and all?" Draco asked.

"Don't worry. I'll just cook some burgers and hot dogs. I can make that while we have fun."

"Ok!"

"Anyway, can we get this over with?" Schezo said.

"Yes. But I have to find Klug, Lidelle and TaruTaru."

"WHAT?! Never mind." Schezo said as he gave up and accepted my quick response.

"You worry too much. Anyway, next we need to find Lidelle. I bet she must be somewhere around this forest."

"Hopefully. I bet she is with Donguri Gaeru or Onion Pixy. Lidelle has gotta be around here somewhere at this point." Raffina said.

"Who? Me?"

"Wow! Look who is here already." Amitie said.

"Hey, Lidelle." I said.

"Oh, Kaze. Why are you all here?" Lidelle asked.

"Well…"

*A Few Minutes Later*

"Oh… So you guys are inviting me to Kaze's home? Just to have fun?" Lidelle asked.

"Yeah. It's the weekend anyway. So do you wanna come?" I asked.

…

"Of course. I declined last time, so I'll go this time."

"Yay! Thank you, Lidelle!" Amitie shouted as she hugged Lidelle tight.

"ACK! Amitie! Too Tight!"

"Whoops… sorry. I got ahead of myself there."

"So now that's Lidelle. All we need is Klug and TaruTaru." Raffina said.

"Yeah. So that means we all gotta go head out now. Let's go." I said.

We all were now searching around town looking for Klug and TaruTaru. It'd be hard to find them around Primp somewhere. I know it's small but still… I think Klug wants privacy anyways.

"Hey, look I see them over there. And they're with… Feli and Lemres? What a coincidence." Raffina said.

"I know, right? I thought Feli and Klug hated each other." Ringo said.

"Well, let's ask them. I think they might be working on something." I said.

We then walked over to the group to see what they were doing.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?"

"Kaze? Wait?! Why are there a lot of people with you?!" Klug asked while being surprised at how many people I've brought with me.

"Well I wanted to ask if you all want to come over to my house. You know, just to spend time with all me and everyone else." I said.

…

"Well I'm free. So sure." Klug said.

"Yeah. Me too." TaruTaru said.

"Sure. I have nothing to do anyway." Feli said.

"Of course. The pleasure is mine, my friend." Lemres said.

"Ok. Thank you, guys. I appreciate it." I said.

"We're all here for you, you know. We can do anything you want." Raffina said.

"Alright so that's everyone, right? Me, Raffina, Amitie, Arle, Carbuncle, Ringo, Maguro, Witch, Lidelle, Sig, Klug, TaruTaru, Feli, Lemres, Harpy, Draco, Chico, Schezo, Rulue, Nasu Grave, and Ragnus. So there's 21 of us."

"That's still a lot of people if you ask me." Ringo said.

"Yeah, I think it might fit enough people once we reach here." Arle said.

"Totally. I know I have never been to your house before. I should have said something." Raffina said.

"Hey, why don't we bring some games while we're here?" Maguro asked.

"Yeah. Good thinking. I bet I could be part of some games while we are there. But we gotta buy some first." I said.

"Well, how about we drop off these people and we can go find some together?" Witch asked.

"Good idea. First, I need to do a tour first once we get there. Alright, let's go, everyone." I said.

Let the fun begin. Just like always.
