"Keep your chin up Ruby, I know you can do it. You have Korry with you and all the amazingness that comes from being a Doer, and if anybody can do anything it's us! Love, MJ" Ruby sighed as she read the letter that her sister had sent her before Ruby had to go back to St. Fortuna. There were details about how her apprenticeship was going but a good deal of it was trying to get her pumped up for her second year. Ruby wasn't worried or sad it was just… She already missed last year. Things just wouldn't be the same without MJ there. The only real friend she had with her now was Korry, so she was thankful for that. But there was no replacing MJ.

But Ruby couldn't mope around, especially with the train pulling into the station now. This would be the best chance she had to find Korry since she couldn't find him when she got on. So Ruby did her best to go with the flow of the crowd until she got to where her luggage was stored. It wasn't a quick pace but by the time she got there, she didn't have to fight tooth and nail just to try and pull her luggage away. She had just finished putting her things on a trolley when a rather short, but good looking boy (that she was sure she had a class with before but couldn't place him) came up to her with a big smile… And immediately got her name wrong. Several times.

Well Ruby could appreciate the effort that he remembered that she was named after a gem and this wasn't the first time someone mixed up which gem it was (usually it was old Lewis the guilds old treasurer though) and he didn't seem to be meaning to mix it up so Ruby was able to look past it. But she would have at least liked a chance to correct him before he started to shove papers in her hands and ask questions about it. Ruby was at a lost of what to say or do. She felt like it would be rude to hand him the papers back and he said it would just be one question.

"Ummm..." Ruby mumbled as she quickly read over what the paper said. "Regis," Ah so that was his name… Why did he put all four of his names down… He has four names? Why did he write like he did? Ruby bit her lip for a moment as she considered what to say next, and figuring honesty was the best policy, she tried to be gentle. 
"Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think whoever you read this to might think you're being rude. I don't think you're meaning to sound that way, but what you wrote about yourself isn't exactly humble." Ruby didn't want to hurt Regis's feelings but she really did feel like it might be better to try and tell him this before he met his partner. 
"And um, you were close. It's Ruby, not Quartz."

Nancy was not a morning person, and given the opportunity, she would sleep anywhere. A train seat was a surprisingly comfortable spot when you were super tired, Nancy had found that out last year, and just like last year, Nancy slept through the whole train ride. She could enjoy the majestic wonders of nature that could only be experienced by train when she went back home. She might have stayed awake if someone had chosen to sit next to her, but no one really wanted to sit next to the tall goth girl that had stumbled onto the train looking like she was in a bad mood from having to get up early. Which was fine with Nancy, more sleep for her.

Nancy woke up when the train pulled into the station and everyone began to make a commotion as they started to get off and collect their things. 
"I definitely needed that nap." Nancy yawned as she stretched before getting up and making her way out to collect her own things before making her way up to the school. As she put her suitcases on one of the provided trolleys, she looked around for any of her friends. There were plenty of people she was friendly with, the type of people you recognized in the hall and could have friendly chit chat with, but she was looking for more personal friends.

And she found them as she started to make her way with the rest of the students. Her good friends Felicity and Monty, and some guy she didn’t know and… Wow, they sure had a crowd of people around them. Everyone in the group seemed to have their attention focused on someone else in the group, and the only person who didn't seem to be getting much attention was poor Monty. Well, that was about to change. 

"Hey, guys!" Nancy called as she started their way. "Nice to see you again!
