Waking up in his room of his newly appointed home, Xerox yawned and checked the time.There was still some time left before the first bell rang. While changing his clothes and brushing his teeth, Rue, his best friend a Moomba, woke up as well. "Morning Rue." Rue waved, and walked away. Since the Moomba didn't need to do things like wear clothes, brush teeth, or wash his face in the morning, Rue would normally get breakfast for Xerox. They lived happily like this. Xerox and Rue both had only been in Balamb Garden for a month and a half.

Xerox was appointed to go to Balamb to sit the SeeD test. The instructor whom he was allocated to was Duncan. Duncan was a good instructor, but a problem was he was a bit lazy, some people knew this. Xerox has been requested to make things that would help Duncan with his work before. Some successful, others ... excessive ....

Moving on, after finishing his morning routine, he grabbed his giant spanner and strapped it onto his back. Grabbing his toolbox, Xerox walked over to the Cafeteria. Inside, were a few others, having some breakfast. Sitting next to Rue, who had grabbed his breakfast, Xerox passed the toolbox over to Rue, who would sometimes carry it for him. Putting his spanner aside, Xerox ate peacefully. Once he had finished, there was about fifteen minutes left before the first bell. Picking up his spanner, Xerox went to homeroom, with Rue following him.

Some of the other instructors saw Xerox and Rue as problematic. For one, Rue was a Moomba, that caused some problems with some of them, and the other thing was Xerox's creations. A couple have ... broken down would be putting it lightly. Others have been useful. Reaching the lecture hall a eight minutes before the first bell. Only a few other students had arrived. Sitting down in his seat, he noticed Duncan had arrived, five minutes before the first bell.

"Duncan, Can I ask something quickly? Is it alright for Rue to come along for the Field Test? I mean, you should know he doesn't cause problems ... normally. I mean, sure there have been some but that's because of my ... failures .... Anyway, Rue can come right?" Xerox asked Duncan, with Rue sitting on the floor next to Xerox. The two were almost inseparable, growing up as best friends, almost like brothers.
