"Kendo, good morning!" She beamed, grinning happily upon his arrival. It was very obvious who she was referring to before. "I put extra on my plate for you, here, have it. Did you get the invitation to the ball? You didn't tear it up, did you? You would do that. Tell me you didn't rip it, Kendo."

---

"No, I'm fine. That normally happens to me. I always have irregular sleep positions is the most possible solution." He said to Astrophel, kind of worried that he will get caught. "Anyway, I got to go." He borrowed the book "History of the unicorn folks" and left quickly. Then he bumped into someone familiar. "Is this Scarlet? I said in my mind. But it's not Scarlet. "Oh, Hi Sydney!"

---

"Hey, hey. Chill out, princess."

He smiled kindly at her.

"I would never rip it up. The real invite. The one that I edited.... We'll, that's different."

---

"Oh, good! Well in that case, do you have your suit, your shoes, and your boutonnière? And what about your cufflinks? You're always misplacing the small things. It's our biggest night yet, I want you to look your best, especially for whatever girl you decide to ask out." It was a lighthearted jab, Mona always fussed over him and worried, just showing that she cared. "Eat, you need the energy for today."

---

"Oh, pish posh. I got it all under control, Mona. I promise. Have I ever lied to you before?"

Yes. Yes he has.

"And you already know who I'm asking out. Right?"

---

"Mm... Elona? Or maybe Athena here, she's a very nice girl. Or another elite I don't speak to much?" She teased, crossing her arms with a playful pout and turning away. "What do I know? I'm just your glorified right hand."

Astrophel, having borrowed their book, left the library. They were sick of being hunched over at the table in their room reading books and decided that a change of scenery would do wonders for their mood. By this time, the sun was starting to rise higher, causing reading on the Academy grounds to become rather undesirable. Perhaps a small table to themselves and a cup of steaming lavender tea at the cafeteria would do quite nicely. As they made their way inside an to a small unoccupied table, they began to hear a small commotion. They turned around and saw a rather tall blonde boy in extremely casual clothes talking to a girl with wings and horns. Astrophel could not make out most of the words but they did catch a few snippets, "Tearing invitations?" they thought to themselves "How indecorous." Astrophel spared the, in their opinion, rather odd duo one final glance before turning around and seating themselves at their table.

"Elona? She's way too busy. And Athena... She has guys coming after her left right and center. Don't need her (self-proclaimed)big brother mucking things up, do we?"

He laughed.

"I'll tell you in a bit."

---

"In a bit? You pain me so. I'm simply dying, keeling over to find out who you're so interested in." She spoke sarcastically, rolling her eyes with a grin. Her tea was finished, cup set by her side for her to take later. Mona noticed another student enter the cafeteria, noticed how their eyes glanced over the three of them at the table for just a moment before sitting down in the back. She turned back to Kendo. "What's keeping you so busy that you can only tell me 'in a bit', hm?"

Swishing there unnecessarily long tail but that was on par for their species as she laid in bed, Scarlett squeal to herself with excitement while holding up the invitation with both of her hands, shortly pulling the invitation to her chest as she eagerly kicked her legs up and down. "Today's the dayyy, I can't wait to get so much free stuff~!" She joyfully laugh to herself as she hastily jumped off the bed with her hoof letting out a soft click when hitting the ground, they didn't have to think what they wanted to wear, of course their favorite dress because why wouldn't they for such a special occasion?
When Scarlett did put on the dress as she wasted no time getting out the door, skipping with a jump in her step as she sing "going to the ball, going to the ball~!" to herself, but this did cause her to be in her own little world she began to walk past the other students in the hall.

Hanging close to the wall with there familiar quietness as Sydney wasn't honestly sure for everyone was going to meet, hoping that she could simply find a group of graduates that intended to go to the ball so she could blend into the crowded group, besides if she continued walking around the school then she would find one eventually Sydney though to herself. Only for their walking to be interrupted from the thought when someone happened to bump into them, shuffling back momentarily as she hastily pull it out there dagger to point in front of them. "I swear, if it happens to be-" she mumbled to herself in a threatening tone before realizing it was another one of the students, not that she bothered remembering names because it's not like the students were important to her in the first place, except one, but they made sure no one knew they're hidden identity in the first place. Shortly walking back in place as she noticed the book they were holding, "you know, if you actually wanted a full-fledged history about our kind, then have you ever thought about asking one of their own kind first? Those books barely have any information on us anyway, our woods are sacred and hidden away for a good reason in the first place. If our village was found, then there would be a good chance of selfish people imprisoning us and force us to heal all of our wounds, there's a reason why there's a rule that we were only allowed to heal wildlife back there!" She gives them a light lecture as she cross her arm, not the biggest fan that they would go to a book for all places to learn about them, compared to simply asking one of their kind their own history.

"Mm. I just don't feel like it, I guess."

Kendo shrugged, leaning back slightly.

"Why, do you wanna know right now? I'm sure you'll find out."

---

"How rude for an elite. I thought we in such a high class would be a little kinder and genuine." Despite her scolding, she couldn't help the smile that stuck to her face, looking down at her lap as to avoid his gaze. "You're so..."

---

"Honestly I knew you would said that." Kalyteros said. "Now my knee hurts" he said in his mind. He then continued No, this is published like 10 years ago. And I remembered, one of the pages said 'one fighter then tracked down the child murderer' And also depicted how you are unicorns but are always depicted as goats. Anyway, I'm Kalyteros. I heard you are looking for someone. I haven't found anything yet to meet up, but I'll think about it. If I can help you, I will. You know Scarlett, right? The one who killed unicorn children? I might manipulate her to go with you. Which you really want, right? But I need to have something first. Then after you become pairs, the stage is all yours." "He doesn't know, I wouldn't." Kalyteros said in his mind.

---

"Charming? Ruggedly handsome? Just handsome?"

He laughed.

"I know, I know. No more teasing. I get it."

---

"I was actually going to say cruel and cold-hearted, but I like those better." She leaned up to kiss his cheek lightly, moving back down and grabbing her book. "Well, when you want to tell me which lady you have in mind, I'll be around for you to do just that, Satou."

Satsuki ripped open the envelope, skimming through the letter. A letter from the Headmaster? she thought, not like it matters anyway. Headmasters always say how much they "love" their students and honor them for their hardwork. Though, that was a lie, since there was always at least one student who did poorly in the academy.

She was just about to throw the letter away, since it was useless now, but the thought of another student rang through her mind. That student was particularly frustrated about students dumping their letters into the garbage. So instead, she tucked the letter between all her other belongings.

Satsuki dressed in her usual attire; a fancy gray buttoned shirt, and a black skirt. She always loved fancy little thing, though nothing too formal in which it becomes awkward.

She slipped through the crowd, easily avoiding some very active students. A ball shouldn't cause that much commotion. After all, it was practically the same thing as a regular event.

Satsuki made her way to the cafeteria, pouring herself a cup of tea. She merely took a glance at a nearby group chatting away, and sat at a table near them. The excitement of the ball bombarded her mind.

Guess I have some preparing to do.

---

"Oh, I know. No need to remind me."

He laughed at the kiss on the cheek.

"You really want me to choose a certain person, huh?"

---

"Would you rather take ten girls at once? So sorry, but I don't think I'd ever let myself be a part of that. Not me, personally." She huffed, looking back down at her book and flipping a page dramatically. "If you've nothing to say to me, Satou, then why are you here? To tease me?"

---

"Something like that, yes."

He smirked.

"Cause you're adorable when you blush. If you didn't know."

He laughed cheerily.

"I have a few things to say. But not right now."

---

"Hmm, seems like you really do have someone in mind Mona. You're sure to cause a riot when he announces his choice. He couldn't make a better choice anyways." Athena smiled, it was great that what was perhaps now her two closest friends got along so very well.
