*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"You ready to start the day, Little Sis?"
"Uhhh…..yeah.
Where's Ruby?"
"I am not her sister, but I am yours."
"Thanks, Kyle."
"Wait. Why are you…..what happened between you two? Do I..."
"You're welcome, Lolli."
"Ready, Natysh?"
"Lolli?
….I....….yeah. Hurry up and get changed. Then meet me downstairs. Can't start a day without a healthy breakfast.
Come on, Kain."
"Coming."
*Click*
"..Oh, Kain."
"Yes?"
"Whatever you said back there..."
"Elwin, it was nothing. I just reassured her that she wasn't getting punished. Only…."
"I thank you.
The way she thanked you, it must have been touching."
"I was just...…talking."
"And I was listening."
"As you should, because you are in no position to…"
*Punch*
Ouch, What was that...I mean, if you'd like us to, Elwin; since you are in no position to be two places at once?"
"...As long as you two do it together, then I am okay with it."
"Got it."
"Thanks, Elwin."
"Rest well."
".....DARIUS!!!!!!!"
"COMing.
....Kain, you may be the King, but Ruby also put me in charge to help you with your decisions."
"Then if I need help I will ask.
What? Do you really think I would take advantage of this opportunity, and turn my back on you?"
"Ummm….no, but that's….."
"Besides the point. I know.
Just....stay off my Chest."
"Keep your cool, Darius. Keep your cool.
….So.....you do know that Elwin said we had to do it together?"
"How's she supposed to know? Who's she going to ask to verify?
Once all the Rainbows are back to normal, how will she know who was looking and who wasn't?"
"Kain, wait.
I said…wait. Kain, I said…"
"What?"
"I can't let you go alone."
"Darius, I don't have time for…."
"I might not have clearance, but I do have hands that can assist.
We can worry about fixing the School later, but right now; today is all about us."
"And Rainbow. And Protection. And guarding the...…..but yea. You're right.
Just don't slow me down."
"Yeaa. Yeaa. Whatever."
"My coat, Tomato."
"Do you think he'll want us down there?"
"Why would you say that?"
"I mean....he hasn't come back. What if…..what if he forgot about us…or…..or....already switched!!!"
"Tomato, you are his closest friend. He would never abandon you for a Body.
It's his Birthday; a time for celebration. Even if he has, we will accept that."
"But will he accept that?"
