Rue woke moments before reaching Balamb. But he could not do anything for Xerox. All he could do was wait to get back. 

Moments after arriving back, the medics had taken Xerox. Rue picked up the toolbox and the giant spanner, walking with the two overhead, looking slightly depressed. Many of the students had started to gather around him. Although the two items he carried were on the heavy side, he had ran to the dorm room, placing Xerox's things where they were normally kept. Taking off the [b]DS[/b] that had been smashed and put it in the corner. It was probably beyond repair, considering it can no-longer retract.

Walking out of their room, Rue walked, dejectedly. Guys and girls had come to talk to the Moomba, since he was without Xerox. They tried to pat the guy. Normally he would swat them away, but he just tried to hurry through. All he could do was be worried about Xerox. The two had spent most of their lives together, He was feeling down inside, eventually escaping the hoard. Stumbling upon an empty space with a bench, Rue sat down on the bench, wondering, hoping there was something he could do.

Xerox stayed asleep the whole time, his body, still unstable.
