“First day everyone, let’s make this great. Hands in.” The Professors put their hands in and cheers. “I hope you all are ready,” says June. June pulls out a potion and pours it on a sapling. The sapling grows into a huge vine creature. “Open the front gates!” The vine creature wraps around the gate and lifts it up for the kids to walk through.

“Good vines.”

“Excuse me, okay Rose, you got this class your first is. Uh!” Rosaline runs into someone, making her land on her behind. “Sorry.” “Oh no, my apologies, are you okay? You took quite a fall? It’s probably because of all that hair.” The boy giggles and helps Rosaline up. “Thanks.”

“Mortimer.” Mortimer reaches out his hand for a handshake. “Rosaline.” “Where are you heading?” says Mortimer. “Uh, plants.” “Hm, oh, you mean gardening? What a coincidence, I’m going there too. Hey, why don’t we go there together? Don’t want you falling again, do we?” says Mortimer. Rosaline giggles and follows Mortimer to class.

“Yes, just bring that dirt over here,” says June. “Oh! we have two more sweeties. observe, come here, come here, hurry now. This is a rare Zafloot.”

“Wow, it’s so tall.”

 “Yeah, it’s as big as him. You’re like six feet, right?” “I’m five, ten.” says Mortimer. “Mmm, same thing,” says a classmate. “Um, is this safe?” “Oh, of course I would never put the lives of my kids in dan-” Mid in between June sentence, the Zafloot explodes, leaving a foul smell in the classroom. “Oh, dear Gods!” June says, while coughing up her lungs.

“What the heck!” Rosaline says, coughing. “It’s okay, it’s not toxic,” says June. As the chaos is going down, Onnie steps past the door. “The hell? What went on here?” “Oh, nothing to worry about, Onnie. I have everything under control.” “Oh, you do? So why does it smell like death in here?” says Onnie. “It often smells nice. I don’t know what happened. It doesn’t do that unless hostile energy is around.” “Well, Ravena did just walk by sooo.”

“Onnie!” June shouts, jabbing Onnie.

The classroom overflowed with laughter, but to everyone’s surprise, Ravena wanders through the door. “What is the meaning of this?” says Ravena. Onnie snorts and bursts out laughing as the class follows.

“What, what’s so funny?”

Classes go on as normal. Onnie played her part to help as best as she can.

“Welcome to cooking class. The names Kahlo.”

“Hello, welcome to swim class. You can call me Ms. Oceane.”

“Hi, I do alchemy and stuff like that. I’m professor Beatrice.”

“You want me to read this?” says Onnie. “Mm.” “Okay, morning everyone, welcome to history. I’m Mr. Necho, sorry I speak rarely.”

“Welcome to Fight Club!” says Alphonse. “Alphonse, you know we can’t call it Fight Club.” says Luca. “Hush Luca, anyway.” Luca gives Alphonse a sheet of paper to read off of. “Welcome to defense training. You can call me alpha, and this is Mr. Luca.” Alphonse says, rolling his eyes.

But of course, it was pretty eventful.

“See, that’s how you do it, now you just-” The cauldron behind Kahlo erupts, shooting beans all over the room. “The hell!” says Kahlo. “I got it!” Onnie races over to quell the fire. “Sorry Ms. Kahlo, I added the popper beans not knowing they actually explode.” “Don’t worry, kiddo. Onnie can fix that later.” Onnie glares at Kahlo. “Now let me!” Kahlo puts on a helmet and hauls out a massive inferno blower.

“KAHLO NO!”

“Okay, you just mix these two together, and now you have an invisibility potion. So, who wants to try? No one, alright. Onnie, drink this.” says Beatrice. “Kay.” “Now people, what you don’t do is.” Onnie ignores Beatrice’s rambling and reads a book, subconsciously shaking the potion bottle. “Don’t rattle the potion.” “Wait!” The elixir shatters and erupts on Onnie, coating her body with a black liquid. Onnie slowly turns to Beatrice, triggering her to laugh nervously. “That was going inside of me.” “Right, but at least you’re not dead.” Beatrice shrugs her shoulders. “BEATRICE!”

  “So, are you sure this is safe?” asks Onnie. Necho nods in agreement. “Okay, I’ll just read this then. Here in my class, we don’t do regular history with textbooks. I prefer a more hand on approach.” Onnie grabs a blade from the sword stand. Necho does the same. “Okay, so do I just start, oh!” Startled, Onnie stumbles back as a sword is thrust into her face, causing her heart to race. She deftly dodges under the sword, initiating their battle.

“Now this is more my speed.”

“Thanks, Onnie, for helping me with this,” says Celia. “I was going to have Nana to help me, but she is assisting Linden at the moment.” “Oh no trouble, like I said, magic is more my speed.” “Okay, my children, Onnie, will now cast the spell. My little shining star. If you would all follow us this way.”

Onnie steps outside and stairs up into the black inky sky. “This one’s for you, mom.” She points her wand to the sky and a beam of light shoots from her wand like a firework, leaving behind a bright star floating through the sky. The class cheers and claps at the sight. “You were right, Onnie. The children loved it.” “Ha, this was my mother’s spell. Glad to know people love it as much as I do.”

Onnie grins as a tear runs down her face.

The sound of clinking blades fills the room.

“You thought you could get away with this! Uh.” Onnie clumsily reads off a sheet of paper while defending herself from a sword happy professor. “No, but… wait, wrong person.” Onnie turns to Necho’s side to read his part. “I’ll tell you this-” Just as Onnie turns around, her hand slips unexpectedly, and the sword goes flying, shattering a window in its path. “… Oh… shoot.”

“Okay, is everybody ready? One and two, and one, two, three.” The moment Vivian breathes in, the sword crashes through the window, imbedding in self in a zither. Vivian pinches the bridge of her nose, turns around and screams into her hat. “Well, Okay, class dismissed.”

 “Ugh, last time I go sword fighting with Necho. I just know we’re going to hear it from Ravena later.” She says while retrieving the sword. “Huh?” Onnie turns her head to the forests on her right. The sounds of eerie clanking and screams echo from the distance. “I hope everything is okay over there.” Seconds later, her name echoes from those same woods. “ONNIE!” “What?” “CATCH HER!” Stella shrieks. “Ahh, put the wind into my palm. Never fail, never fall. Over the pier in which it flies. Take this body into the sky!” Onnie casts a levitation spell on the descending fairy and gently lowers her to the ground.

 “There you go. Are you okay?” “Yup, I’m good. That’s why I have this helmet,” says the fairy. “Oh, sweetie, are you okay?” asks Stella. “Yeah, I’m good.” “Thank you, Onnie, for catching her. Also, let’s not tell Ravena, keep this our little secret.” “Oh, don’t worry, I’m not telling. We kinda made things go boom today already.”

“Okay kids, class is over. Have a good day.”

“Hey, thanks for catching me. My name is Jewel, by the way.” “Nice to meet you, my name is Onnie.” “Yeah, I know.” “So, where are you going?” “Mr. Rio’s class,” says Jewel. “Species huh, Well I guess I could head over there. Mind if I take you?” “I don’t mind at all. Let’s go!”
