You find yourself sitting in lab next to Miyuki. Same stuff, different day, it seems. You notice that Miyuki is looking at you more than usual, however. "Is there something on my face?" you ask jokingly.

"No," she says, "It's just that... I feel like I had a dream about you last night."

"You probably did," you say half-heartedly. "With everything that's gone on and the circumstances..." You leave that up in the air in case anyone is eavesdropping. Does she understand what happened last night? You never explicitly said anything to her about it, but she tends to be rather insightful when it comes to this stuff. For some reason, that reminds you that you haven't gone back to her house to get her belongings. It might be good to do that tonight, or maybe tomorrow.

"Now you look all pensive," Miyuki says. "Penny for your thoughts?"

You shake your head. "Do you want to get your stuff tonight?" you ask suddenly.

"From my house?" she counters. You nod. "S-sure." She seems to be caught off-guard by your sudden question. "If you think it's a good idea... We might need to go immediately after school if we don't want to run into my dad."

"Alright, let's do that, then," you say. With that decision in mind, you work your way through your assignment, but surprisingly, you don't get done before the class ends. You shuffle out of the classroom with the rest of the group.

"Want me to get us lunch, Anon-kun?" Chiyo asks. "I can cover both of us."

"Sure, Chiyo. Thanks a lot." She lights up like a tree on Christmas when you say that. "I insist on covering dessert, though," you add.

"Come with, then," she says. "You can pick out dessert while I get lunch."

"Alright, sure." You turn to the others. "We'll be up on the roof in a bit," you tell them. "Also, Sora might come up as well. If she does... Can you guys make her feel welcome? I invited her up there, after all."

"I'll be sure everyone is nice~" Sayuri says. "You can count on me, Anon-kun!"

"Thanks, Sayuri." You ruffle her hair a bit before leaving with Chiyo. The two of you head into the cafeteria, and she starts getting lunches. When she asks you what you want, you say, "Surprise me." She giggles and buys it all, and then you pick up some small frozen yogurt containers and pay for those. "Here you go," you say, handing one to her. "Trade me." She swaps items with you, and you see she bought you a Tori bento, which consists of chicken cooked in sauce served over a bed of rice.

"Thanks for coming with me," Chiyo says after a moment. "I've missed hanging out, just the two of us."

"I know," she says, "But..." She lets out a sigh and drops the subject completely.

"Are you alright?" you ask. "You've been acting strange lately." Strange is the nice way of putting it, but you don't say that.

She shrugs. "Just a bit confused."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm confused about what it means to have..." She lowers her voice to a whisper you can barely hear, "...a gear..." She stops whispering after that and goes back to normal. "I'm really worried about everyone, you included. I don't want to see you get hurt again."

"It's an inevitable risk, in all honesty. We're dealing with something huge, so it's dangerous for everyone involved."

"I know. Maybe I'm just nervous after what happened." She smiles, but even to you, it looks forced. "Let's deal with that some other time." You nod in agreement.

When you finally reach the roof, you see the group all spread out, eating their food. They all wave to you, and you notice Sora isn't among them. You figure she just wasn't ready to spend time with everyone. You sit down and enjoy your lunch, but for the most part, you let the girls talk among themselves.

Time passes, and as you're throwing your trash away, you notice the door to the roof open. Standing behind it is none other than Sora. You meet her gaze, and for a split second, she looks hesitant. That passes, though, as she walks toward you. "Hello, Anon-kun."

"Hey Sora. I'm glad you came up here." You smile reassuringly. "Did you want to sit with the others, or did you want to talk, just the two of us?"

She glances to the group, which is in turn looking at the two of you. "You mentioned there was someone else in your dream," she says quietly. "Could it just be the three of us?" That's a reasonable request.

"Yeah, okay. If you want, you can come over here and I can get her."

"I think I'll wait right here," she says coldly. Well, at least you tried.

You head over to the group and kneel down next to Roslyn. "Hey, can you come talk with me and Sora for a minute?"

"Why?" she asks. "What does she want with me?"

"It has to do with the dreams," you reply. "I think she's nervous to be in front of everyone." Roslyn arches a brow, but relents. "Thanks." She stands up and you start to walk off. "I guess we'll see you guys in class."

"Where are you going, Anon-kun?" Chiyo asks.

"Sora has some questions for Roslyn and me, so we're gonna go discuss them before class."

"Oh... Okay! I guess we'll see you a bit later." You nod and give the girls a quick wave before you disappear behind the door.

"So, where shall we have this discussion?" Roslyn asks you. Sora looks at you as well, but says nothing.

"Follow me," you say. You walk down the hallway, glancing around to make sure there's no one around the classrooms. After you're sure no one is looking toward the three of you, Sora's 'fan club' included, you slide into the nearest classroom. Just as you suspected, it's completely empty. In fact, you realize that this classroom isn't used at all. The only things in here are extra desks and chairs. "Here we are."

"This will suffice," Sora says. She leans against a wall and crosses her arms. "So Anon-kun tells me that the two of you had the same dream." Straight to the point. You expected nothing less from this girl.

Roslyn glances at you, then to Sora. "Yeah... We did. Why are you so interested?"

"He and I had a shared dream as well," Sora explains. "The fact he's had two dreams in the same night with a different girl in each one bothers me. More importantly, we all remember our respective dreams."

"Yeah, it's really weird," Roslyn says. "I've never had something like this happen, ever." She glances at you again, and she looks embarrassed for some reason, but she looks back at Sora. "Do you have any idea why this might be happening? I mean, you're a lot calmer about this when I was when I found out all this happened."

"I'm not entirely sure," Sora says with a small sigh. She looks up at the ceiling and then closes her eyes. "I have a few theories, but I don't have any concrete evidence for any of them, so I am reluctant to share them right now."

File: 1349668310229.jpg-(355 KB, 1024x768, sora__9.jpg)

"Ah... Alright." Roslyn looks flustered, so you step in.

"Well, I can say with accuracy that, for me, it was like I was lucid dreaming. I've read about lucid dreaming before on some websites I frequent, and everything that happened, with the exception of the shared dream, matches what I've read. So, at the very least, what I could attempt to do over the next few nights is try and lucid dream again and perhaps bring the two of you into the dream simultaneously. From there, we might be able to discuss the situation. Also," you add, "We would be guaranteed the freedom to talk however we want without the threat of eavesdroppers."

Sora looks at you with what could constitute praise in her eyes. "That sounds like an excellent idea, Anon-kun."

"Thank you." For some reason, those words of praise form Sora make you feel extremely good about yourself. "So I suppose that's it. Unless, that is, there's something else either of you want to talk about?" You look from Sora to Roslyn.

Sora frowns for a moment. "All I really have to say is that we should all agree to keep this quiet, at least until we understand it more. I understand that the two of you are close with the other three in your group, but I would prefer to prevent this knowledge to spread."

"That's probably for the best," Roslyn says, nodding. "Unless the others are affected as well, in which case we'll probably have to be having these conversations with them as well."

You glance at the clock hanging up in the room and realize lunch is almost over. "We should probably head to class," you suggest. Sora nods and stands up straight, then leaves without a word, leaving you and Roslyn alone in the empty classroom.

"Go on ahead," you say, waving her on. "I'll catch up."

"Why?" she asks. "Come on, you know you'll be late if you don't leave now."

"I'll be fine. Go on, I'll sit next to you in class and work extra hard to make up for making you go alone." She wilts a little bit, but then nods. "There you go. Like I said, I'll be there shortly." When she leaves the room, you take a deep breath to collect yourself. You walk out the door and start walking, but as you're walking, you forget what caught your eye. You curse under your breath and turn around. Whatever it was, it must not have been important.

As you're walking to class, you hear some talking from up ahead, and you see a group of guys circling something -- or someone. As you get closer, you hear a familiar voice. "I never said you had permission to touch me, you plebian. I highly suggest you move away from me before I make you regret your pitiful and miserable existence." There's no ire in the voice, and you know it's Sora. It's ice cold. You'd think the words alone would deter these guys, but it only stimulates their actions.

"Come on. I knew you were an ice queen, but pushing us away so soon? Geez, cut us some slack! We all think you're great, even if you are a bit of a bitch."

Why is that these girls always get bothered by groups of guys? Seeing this pisses you off, but you aren't sure if fighting is the best option.

You take a breath, and in a moment of brilliance, you produce your cellphone from your pocket. You stroll up to the group and address Sora, ignoring the guys. "Hey Sora, there you are." She looks up at you with a slightly confused look. "Want to see something pretty cool?" Before she, or the guys, can say anything you continue. "It's this video I have of these guys harassing you. Y'know, it'd be a shame if they were to do something really stupid and be recorded doing it, don't you think? Imagine the trouble they would be inviting on themselves."

One of the guys, the one that was addressing Sora, turns to you. "Why don't you give me that before you fall down a flight of stairs, huh?" He nods to a guy next to you, and the guy reaches for your phone. You manuver the phone out of his reach for a moment, and continue.

"Even if you try to steal this from me, or even fight me for it, what are you going to do about that?" You hook your thumb up past your shoulder, gesturing to the security camera behind you. You see the lead guy pale, and in a sudden flair of brilliance, you say, "You know, I'm fairly certain you can waste the oxygen needed for the more intelligent students elsewhere, so you should consider dispersing, post-haste."

The lead guy looks a bit confused, and you can practically see the gears turning in his head. "We'll let this slide for now," he says, and he slinks away with a defeated look on his face.

File: 1349675831472.jpg-(110 KB, 501x586, roslyn_6.jpg)

Sora looks to you. "Thank you, Anon-kun," she says smoothly. "I could have handled that, but I have to say I fairly enjoyed seeing your method of handling this interruption." She stops, then looks at you again. "By the way, why are you over here? I thought you would have gone to class with Reinhardt-san."

"I had something to do," you say, "And as I was going to take care of it, I saw you getting hassled. I thought helping out a bit might have been worth putting off what I had to do for later." You purposely leave out the part that you forgot what you were going to do, for fear of looking like a complete idiot immediately after pulling off something you didn't think you could do.

"Well, thank you, nonetheless. We should really be getting to class, though."

"You're right. After you." Sora just shakes her head, a small smile on her face, and she heads to class, you in close pursuit. The two of you manage to get into the classroom just before the English teacher, and you sit down next to Roslyn, whereas Sora sits in her usual spot.

"Coming in with Sora, huh?" Roslyn asks, a little heatedly. "What's that about?"

"I ran into a group of guys harrassing her, so I handled it," you say with a shrug. Roslyn looks mortified, and you realize she probably thinks you got into a fight. "I handled it with words instead of fists for once."

"That's good..." As the teacher starts to address the class, she quietly says, "Let's talk during gym." You nod, and you make an effort to avoid the English teacher's scrutiny for the entire class period. When the bell rings for the end of class, you notice him glaring at you with a smug look on his face. You don't say anything, though, and you quickly head to the gym, where Roslyn is waiting for you, along with the others. "Can we join you in your jog?" she asks.

"I don't see why not," you reply. As you make your rounds around the gym, you can't help but grin when you see Sayuri, Chiyo, and Roslyn all doing their best to keep up with you. Chiyo is the only one that can keep pace, with Roslyn slightly behind, and Sayuri lagging behind greatly. As you start to lap Sayuri, you see she has a troubled expression on her face, almost as if she's ready to cry.

"I can't keep up at all," she says quietly. You can tell she's trying despite the lack of success.

"Hey, cheer up," you say to her with a grin on your face. "Did you know? When I first started running like this on a regular basis, I had a lot of trouble making laps around my neighborhood. I could barely do two. The fact you're doing this well already is great, and if you keep doing it, you'll probably be able to out last even me in the future." She brightens up a little bit, and you can see a fire in her eyes. "There you go. Be careful not to push yourself too much, though, okay? When you start to get really tired, do a cool down lap by walking." She nods, and you pick up your pace, finishing up about two more laps. Chiyo keeps pace with you, to your surprise. "I didn't know you had this much endurance," you comment.

"It's because I'm with you," she says with a small grin. "I think I should do this more often, though. It feels really good."

"Alright, see you in a bit." You start taking your cool down lap and you fold your hands behind your head as you walk. You hope Miyuki will be okay with this idea, having Chiyo along with the morning jogs. You think she'll understand, considering how Chiyo's been lately. You'll talk to her about it after you guys go home.

After you guys go home. Shit, you remember that you were going to go with Miyuki to her house immediately after school to get her stuff. Well, you could probably broach the topic on the way there. After your cool down, you get ready to go. As you head outside, you're met by a cool breeze. You look up and see the dark clouds still hanging over the sky. "Will that damn storm break?" you mutter.

"It might," someone says from behind you. You turn and see Chiyo standing there. "Heading home?" she asks. She produces an umbrella from her bag as she asks.

This could buy us the time to pull off her mission, but by all means get her to go home and leave us alone first.

Maybe adjust it so we'd also be unsure if Miyuki would want her to help or not.

"I'm waiting on Miyuki, since I'm helping her out with her circumstances. I don't really want to talk about it out of respect for her, unless you two have already talked about it," you explain.

"Oh... About her dad?" You don't say anything. "We talked about it the other day. You're going with her to her house to get her stuff, right? She mentioned that you had wanted to do that for a few days." You nod. "Do you think I could help out somehow?"

"I don't know how, exactly..."

"I don't know, either, but if I can be of help..."

You frown, but then you see Miyuki heading your way. "Well, we can ask her now if you'd like." Chiyo turns to see Miyuki, and they wave to each other.

"Hiya," Miyuki says as she approaches the two of you. "What's up?"

"I was waiting for you," you say with a knowing look.

"Right. Chiyo?" she asks.

"I was wondering if you could use an extra pair of hands," Chiyo explains simply. "If not, I can head home, but if I can be of help..."

Miyuki frowns and looks as if she's thinking. "Well, I guess you can come with. My father shouldn't be home right now, so..." Chiyo smiles.

The three of you start walking, Miyuki in the lead. "So," you say, "What is the plan? We get in, gather whatever you want, then bail?" Miyuki nods. "I hate to think negatively, but what do we do if your dad IS home?"

"I... I don't know," Miyuki says quietly.

Possibly if you send him a message of some kind, that you need him to come get you from somewhere?

A faked apology might not go amiss either. I don't like it personally, but if we can send him off on a wild goose chase, then that might be our best bet.

Figure it out
Perhaps chiyo could keep a lookout for him outside while miyuki and us grab and carry as much as we can and stuff it all in some trashbags.
Oh, and we go in first and make sure he isnt there before miyuki goes in

"Well, we should figure something out, just in case. Does he know anything about where you're staying?" you ask. She shakes her head. "Well, maybe... Damn, I don't like this idea too much, but you might be able to call him or something, offering up a fake apology. Then you could ask him to pick you up somewhere, maybe..."

"I'm not keen on doing that idea, either," Miyuki says.

"Can't we just stab him?" Chiyo asks. You turn to her in disbelief that she would say that, and she shrugs. "What? I'm kidding."

Miyuki turns around and grimaces while walking backwards. "As much as I'd like to authorize something like that, no, we can't do that. He's a bastard, but... he's still... my father..."

"Well," you say, "Maybe... Chiyo, could you maybe distract him if he's there? Without hurting him, I mean."

"If you want me to, I can definitely try," she says.

"That might be our best bet." You nod, and Miyuki does as well. She turns around and keeps walking.

"We're almost there," she says. The dark clouds in the sky rumble, as if in confirmation. As the three of you approach the house, you notice something. Further down the street, you can see the charred remains of a house. Was... was that where that explosion happened before? "W-wait a second," Miyuki says abruptly.

"What is it?" you ask.

"His car is there... And there's another car." She points to a driveway, and you see a car that you've never seen before, even on TV.

"Whose car is that?" Miyuki wonders. The three of you get closer, and you freeze when the front door opens. Stepping out of the house, you see a woman in her early twenties with long, silvery hair. She looks back into the house for a brief moment before turning and closing the door behind her. "Oh no..." The woman turns back around, and even from this distance, you can hear her snap her fingers, and fire erupts throughout the house.

Thunder crackles in the sky, and the storm finally breaks. Rain comes pouring down from the sky, drowning out the cries of the girl in front of you.
