As Xayah and Rakan were heading towards the cafeteria, Rakan pondered about something. [color=00FFFF]"You ever think there're other Star Guardians besides us?"[/color] Xayah raised an eyebrow. [color=00FFFF]"It's just...Are we the only ones who're capable of defending the planet? Do we have to do all the work?"[/color] From inside his bag, Riku asked if he was just feeling lonely. [color=00FFFF]"Nah, I've got you and Xayah so why would I be lonely?"[/color] His lover blushed a little. [color=00FFFF]"What I mean is, is the First Star gonna choose other people someday? Or do we just protect the planet until we die?"[/color] Xayah put her hand on his shoulder. [color=FF1493]"Babe, you shouldn't think about these things because 1) you're stressing yourself too much, and 2) it doesn't suit you."[/color] She then proceeds to remember what the First Star told her when she was chosen. [color=FF1493]"When the First Star chose me, it said something about [color=40E0D0]stars being plenty and spread out.[/color] So if we take that into consideration as well as the fact that we're called 'Star Guardians', then maybe there [b]are[/b] other Guardians out there. We just don't know [i]who[/i] and [i]where[/i] they ar--"[/color] As she was finishing her sentence however, she bumped into someone, their books dropping on the floor. [color=7FFF00]"Oh! I'm sorry!"[/color] Once Xayah understood the situation, she immediately crouched to help the student gather her books. [color=FF1493]"Oh nono, it was my bad. I wasn't looking on where I was going."[/color] When the student got a closer look of Xayah, her eyes widened. [color=7FFF00]"Oh. My. Gosh. Xayah-senpai I didn't know it was you!"[/color] Rakan's eyes turned to his lover. [color=00FFFF]"You know her?"[/color] Xayah looked at who she was helping and paused for a bit. Then a smile appeared on her face. [color=FF1493]"Oh hey! It's you!"[/color] As they both finished gathering the dropped books, the two hit up a conversation while walking to the cafeteria, Xayah completely forgetting that Rakan was there. Riku and his companion looked at each other and shrugged and just followed behind.

[color=FF1493]"So how've you been? Has school been treating you well?"[/color] The small girl beside her gave a sheepish smile. [color=7FFF00]"Eheh, I'm still getting used to my schedule. It's completely different than what I'm used to back from where I previously studied. But other than that, I've been enjoying my time here!"[/color] Xayah gives a smile and pats her head. [color=FF1493]"That's really nice to hear. You'll get used to things around here soon."[/color] The girl nodded with enthusiasm. [color=FF1493]"So, have you made any friends?"[/color] The young girl's eyes brightened. [color=7FFF00]"Oh yes! She's part of my second and third periods. When she introduced herself and said where she came from, I was delighted!"[/color] The girl clearly loved her new friend with all the giddiness she was showing. [color=7FFF00]"Well, she didn't mind me at first. But after a bit of convincing, I managed to hang out with her and we've been together ever since!"[/color] As soon as she finishes, another girl called out. [color=0000FF]"Lulu! There you are!"[/color] She came running towards Xayah and the aforementioned Lulu. [color=0000FF]"I've been waiting for so long! Where were you?"[/color] Lulu rubbed her head in embarrassment. [color=7FFF00]"I'm really sorry. I accidentally bumped into Xayah-senpai so I got a bit held up."[/color] When the other girl heard "senpai", she immediately bowed her head and apologized for her friend. [color=0000FF]"Please forgive my friend for disturbing you. My name is Poppy Orlon. It's nice to meet you!"[/color] The girl named Poppy also extended her hand out for a handshake. Xayah and Rakan sweatdropped, with awkward smiles on their faces. [color=FF1493]"Um, nice to meet you too. And it's okay to speak without the formality. I don't bite. Name's Xayah by the way."[/color] She took Poppy's hand and shaked it. [color=0000FF]"So, shall we go?"[/color] Lulu perked up and looked at her senior. [color=7FFF00]"Oh yeah! We'll be going now. Thank you for accompanying me Xayah-senpai!"[/color] The two girls left the couple with Lulu and Xayah waving each other goodbye. [color=00FFFF]"So you never answered my question but who's that girl with the green hair exactly?"[/color] Xayah turns back to Rakan as they continue walking. [color=FF1493]"Lulu Fae. She's a first year."[/color] A sound of agreement comes from Rakan. [color=00FFFF]"Seems like a nice girl. How'd you two meet?"[/color] Xayah gave a small laugh as she replied. [color=FF1493]"Oddly enough, exactly the same way we met earlier. It was right after the welcoming ceremony for the freshmen a few months back. She was getting lost left and right. Then she happened to bump into me around a corner. After hearing her out, I gave her a small tour around the campus. Since then, she started calling me [i]senpai[/i] as you've heard earlier."[/color] Rakan lightly pats her back. [color=00FFFF]"Heh. Babe's got a junior under her already."[/color] he says with a smug face. [color=FF1493]"Oh shut it you. Now come on, we still gotta ask Ahri about her 'friend'."[/color]

They arrive at the cafeteria and started to look for Ahri's table. [color=FF1493]"There."[/color] Xayah pointed at a table off to the left. But there was a small problem. [color=00FFFF]"Crap. Our POI seems to be with them. What do we do?"[/color] She thought for a bit. [color=FF1493]"Let's just ask Ahri discreetly."[/color] The two then proceeded to approach Ahri. Once close enough, Xayah tapped Ahri's shoulder and leaned in. [color=FF1493](whisper) "Hey, can we talk for a bit?"[/color]
