Life at Windian High (Part 2)




"Ms. Rorins..." A female, Japanese accented voice said to the older woren. "How long ago did Frank leave?"

The owner of The Reverse Edge turned to the teenager. "Well Yuki... he left a few hours ago, so he should be back anytime soon," Jess Rorins replied as she adjusted a crossbow that was on display. "Still though... It's great to see you two again!"

Currently, Yuki Kauro and Brad Terranama were visiting Windia. They were able to cross dimensions, thanks to the Holy Mirror that was housed within the Velvet Room.

The Velvet Room resides in Torana, thanks to the fact that three Persona Users currently live there now. It holds many secrets, but those will be revealed later.

Brad was looking at some spears on display. When no one was looking, a little pixie flew out from his jacket and sat on his shoulder.

"Wow..." Sonya said to Brad quietly. "Some of these spears... they're top quality... like what you use... or what some of the demons carry around..."

"Tell me about it, Sonya..." Brad said to the little pixie. "I could have used some of these back in Lunarvale..."

The bell on the door ringed as it opened.

"Mom! I'm back!" Frank said as he entered. Ray followed him in, looking sort of embarrassed.

"Frank! Ladon! What happened to you???" Jess asked as her tail waved in worry.

"Um... Frank?" Yuki said as she approached her friend. "When you go fishing... you usually stay dry!"

"Heh... that's kinda my fault..." Ray said with a sheepish grin.

"How man?" Brad asked.

"Well... I kinda hooked him by his shoe... and dragged him underwater..." The Light Dragon said with a chuckle.

Yuki was going to reply, when Neko-Chan came tearing down the stairs and into the room.

"Meow! Frank!!!" The catgirl demoness said as she pounced. Immediately, she noticed that the Persona User was soaked. She cut her pounce short and rolled to a stop near Frank.

"Myah? What happened to you?" Neko-Chan asked as her tails waved.

"You don't want to know... Here..." Frank said as he handed Neko-Chan a giant black bass.

"MEOW!!! FISHIE!!! Purr..." Neko-Chan said as she accepted the fish. "Thank you! I'd hug you, myah... but you're..."

"Wet?" Frank finished. "Just stick it in the kitchen... I'll cook it for you later. The rest of the fish are for later tonight."

Neko-Chan raced upstairs once more.

"Frank hon..." Jess started. "I'm glad to see you... and so are your friends... but you're dripping all over the floor!"

"... oops... Sorry mom... I'll go and change. Be right back!" Frank walked upstairs with a steady squish squish coming from his water-logged shoes.

Ray watched the entire scene before turning to Yuki and Brad. "I'm guessing you're the friends he was talking about. Hi, I'm Ray Bendrel. Nice to meet you."

Yuki set her camera down and turned to the Light Dragon. "I'm Yukino Kauro, but all my friends call me Yuki. A pleasure to meet you, Ray." The Persona User said before giving a slight bow.

"I'm Brad Terranama. Nice to meet you, man." Brad said as he extended a hand.

As Ray was shaking Brad's hand, Sonya flew from her shoulder toward the Light Dragon, leaving a trail of sparkles in her wake.

"What the..." Ray said as a trail of sparkles encircled him. "What in Ladon's name..."

The pixie came to a stop and hovered in mid-air in front of Ray. "Hi there! I'm Sonya! Nice to meet you!"

Ray extended a finger and the pixie began to shake it.

The Light Dragon looked at Yuki and Brad, trying to figure something out.

Where... where have I seen them... wait... when Frank disappeared... That's when... They're from Lunarvale! They fought that demon called the Snow Queen!

"Dude..." Brad said before combing his hair. "What's wrong?"

"You helped Frank in Lunarvale... I saw the fight... Against the Snow Queen, right?" Ray said quietly.

Yuki nearly dropped her camera. "Wait... You know? Lunarvale? The Snow Queen?"

Ray nodded. "Yeah. I saw you guys fight her. Thanks... for saving Torana."

"Hey man..." Brad said before slapping the Light Dragon on the back. "Think nothing of it."

Frank came down the stairs holding a pair of blue and gray shoes from Lunarvale. He slipped them on and began to tie them, when a sparkling caught his attention. He looked up, and saw a pixie staring at him.

"Hey there..." Frank said with a smile.

"Hi!" The pixie said as she hovered near the Persona User.

Brad chuckled. "Frank, meet Sonya. She's a friend of mine... sorta like a companion."

"Hi Sonya. I'm Frank, nice to meet you." Frank said before tying his shoe. He looked back up at the pixie with a smile.

"Same here, Frank. Any friend of Brad's is a friend of mine! Except for that Alana girl..."

Frank slapped his forehead. "Brad... is Alana STILL giving you trouble?"

"Alana???" Ray asked in confusion. "Who's Alana?"

"Alana Morris. Another Persona User, Ray. She's kinda possessive. And well... she's not all there..." Frank said before standing up.

"I'll say!" Brad said before moaning. "She's declared herself as my girlfriend. She's not. We are friends, but she's been pushing the limit..."

"What has she done?" Ray asked in confusion.

"For starters..." Brad said as he looked around, making sure that Alana hadn't followed him. "She chases away every girl that I talk to, ruins my dates, and..."

"She's threatened to kill Sonya multiple times, because Brad pays her more attention." Yuki said before loading some film into her camera.

Ray blinked. "You're not kidding... I feel for you Brad..."

"Well..." Frank said as he finished mopping the floor. "I'm ready... Ray, want to come along? We're gonna go around Windia for a bit..."

"I think I will, Frank." Ray said with a smile.

"Hang on! Group picture!" Yuki said as she fitted her camera on her tripod.

"Meow? Picture?" Neko-Chan said as she came down the stairs.

"Yeah! Go on... everyone stand... here..." Yuki focused everyone in the viewfinder and set the timer. She raced to the group and stood in place.

"Smile!" Yuki said. Soon after, the flash went off and the picture was taken.

"If I can find a dark room..." Yuki said as she put away the tripod. "I'll develop these before Brad and I go home... Okay?"

"Deal Yuki!" Frank said with a grin. And with that, the group of friends left for a night on the town.
