[color=CAFFD1][i]Shit, I’m late. I’m late. I’m so fucking late.[/i][/color]

The student teacher let out a sigh as she pulled into the parking lot and hopped off her motorcycle. She checked her phone- she was technically on time. If she was a student, she’d be sprinting into class right as the bell was sounding and no one would be able to say anything. These were pretty extraordinary circumstances, so she doubted anyone would look down on her [i]too[/i] much if she was a bit tardy. She pulled a pop tart out of her bag and made peace with the fact that her body would hate her for this before she started chowing down on it and broke into a sprint as everything began to turn red.

The two week break had been… very trying for Lucy Selene. Between all the calls from friends and family, the spiral into depression, getting back into drinking, an unexpected run in with a student… She felt like the break could have been a lot longer. She needed to get her sleep schedule back on track, for one.

But, hey, she was a whole week sober, now. That was worth something, to her at least. Time to rack up those milestones all over again.

Lucy shoved the last of the pop tarts into her maw and tossed the wrapper behind her into a nearby trash can as she ran past it, and swung into the classroom.

[color=CAFFD1]”Heyyy, sorry I’m late, I-”[/color] She paused. He wasn’t moving. [color=CAFFD1]”You alright?”[/color] She looked back out into the hallway. That wrapper was frozen in space just above the can. And, actually, why was everything red? This was a bad dream, right?

[color=66FF99][i]”They’re back again, Lucy.”[/i][/color] Lunasa’s voice rang out through her soul. [color=66FF99][i]”Will you be ok this time?”[/i][/color]

[color=CAFFD1]”I, uh,”[/color] The medium stammered. [color=CAFFD1]”Yeah, of course.”[/color] She broke into another sprint as she transformed.

The cafeteria was populated by a crowd of frozen students. None of them looked very dead, yet, and that was good. She could handle this. No panic attacks this time. The giant bug outside? She could handle that. And Thea and Amber were here again. She noticed that last part a bit too late, and nearly bumped into the two of them before she skidded to a stop.

[color=CAFFD1]”H-hey Thea, hey Amber.”[/color] Lucy gave a quick wave. [color=CAFFD1]“Fancy meeting you two here again, huh?”[/color] Lunasa quickly split off from her and flew towards the window, shooting a few lasers at the enemy Spirit as booming laughter echoed throughout the school.
