They all chatted about merrily for a while before they started their study session. Tsuki was particularly thrilled that her new friend could join them. Since there were only a few classmates there studying for the make-up exam, they split into groups of 2 to 3. Levee had offered to help tutor math, so Tsuki chose to tutor the history portion of the exam. She smiled and laughed with her female friends as they went through the material. “Tsuki, you make it seem so easy!” one of the girls exclaimed while writing down some notes. Shaking her head, the orange-haired girl shyly replied, “T-That’s not true. I just really enjoy history.” “Yeah… not to mention: math, English, Japanese, cooking, and archery. Did I miss anything?” another girl stated in a mocking manner, causing Tsuki and the other girl to laugh.
Two of the boys that had chosen to study the language portion looked toward the loud group and chuckled at the sight. One of them could not help but say, “It’s always lively when Tsuki-chan’s around.” The other only nodded in agreement and returned his focus on the material.
After a few minutes, Tsuki stretched her hands into the air and let out a soft groan. As she randomly looked around the room, her eyes met with Levee’s eyes for a brief moment. Levee smiled at her, and a feeling of relief washed over Tsuki. She returned the smile, believing that things were going well. The study session actually went on for a few hours. After several minutes with one subject, they would switch and mix in with others to study another subject that would be on the exam. By sunset, it was clear that the study session really took a lot out of everyone.
One of the male students that was there to help tutor the language portion of the make-up exams suggested that they all go grab something to eat together to congratulate them on a successful study session. He pushed up his spectacles and awaited for the group to decide on it. “Umm… I actually have to go home since my family’s expecting me. I’m sorry that I can’t go,” said one of the girls in a disappointed tone. “That’s okay. Maybe we’ll go celebrate again when everyone passes their make-up exams!” Tsuki quickly stated, trying to cheer up her friend. She looked up at her and nodded. Although one of them could not make it, the others were free and agreed to grab some dinner. All that was left was Levee. Tsuki turned to her and grabbed her hands. “Levee-chan! Please join us! T-That is… i-if you’re free!” They all turned towards her and voiced their agreements.
OOC: If there's little to no fighting involved, I want to have the time of my life as a cute little high school girl doing high school things that I've always dreamed about! So let's do this, Levee-chan! (:

Levee looked from one fellow student to the other while trying come up with an excuse why she shouldn’t go, but to no avail. Echoes of her mother’s voice rang through her ears like silver bells, “You should try and have more fun.” Levee’s own voice wanting to yell back at her mother, “Mother sometimes I think you have forgotten what fun is.” Her shoulders fell in defeat as she replied to them all, “Ok, I’m in.” Everyone seemed happy that she was willing to go.
It seemed being social in this world was more of a good thing than bad, more often than not people aren’t trying to stab you in the back. As she looked towards Tsuki she realized like her they were both in their P.E. clothes. With a small frown she whispered to Tsuki, “Is it possible we can take a detour so we can get some normal clothes if we are going out?”

Every packed up their books, worksheets, and other materials into their bags. The room filled with enthusiastic chattering as they all spoke about where to go and what to eat. Tsuki was amongst the students laughing and smiling as they planned for the evening ahead. What brought her back to the reality of their situation was Levee’s genuine question. Tsuki stared at her and then at herself, blushing a slight bit when she realized that she still wore her PE outfit. She quickly ran to stand beside Levee and told her friends, “I-I think I’ll go with Levee to change out of these clothes. You can go first and just text me where to meet up later!” The others looked at each other with a blank expression before smiling. Some of them nodded and some replied with words. They all understood though and headed out to the shopping district.
Tsuki turned her entire body to face Levee and said, “Sorry that I didn’t notice. I was a bit too excited that we all get to go out and eat together. Do you want to go to each other’s houses together? I can wait for you while you change and then we can go by my place.” She held an enthusiastic expression on her face, hoping that Levee would agree.
OOC: I'm wondering... how are fairies with temples?

Tsuki’s attitude must be infectious, because Levee couldn’t help but smile when she gave her response. “Ok, we better get going then.”
Levee felt a bit relieved she had Tsuki to walk with, so at least she wasn’t the only one wearing her P.E. clothes off campus. It wasn’t a far trip to Levee’s house and she had managed to actually fit in some small talk along the way. “So, you said earlier you’re not in the student council, are you in any clubs?”
They arrived at Levee’s home with a pair of large bronze gates made to look like a willow tree sitting in front of them. Levee removed a bronze key from her bag that had her clothes and opened the gate pushing one side open very easily. Turning back she said to Tsuki, “Um… I haven’t actually brought anyone home before, so please stay on the path, and don’t go into the garden.” Judging by Tsuki’s expression it must have been an odd request, but she walked along the path quickly opening the front door to let her friend stand inside the entryway.
“I’ll be right back,” She said as she ran up the stairs to her bedroom leaving her shoes behind. As she changed, she heard a tapping on her window coming from a slender whip like vine. She ignored it as she finished, pulling her shirt down, and the tapping grew louder. Opening the window she whispered loudly at the vine, “Knock it off, I already fed you today. You will leave my guest alone.” She closed the window a bit loudly as the vine went away falling back to the ground.
Making her way back down the stairs she made sure the ribbon in her hair was still secure, and said, “Sorry I’m a little slow, let’s hurry to your place.”
As they walked down the path you could see the large garden on both sides of the path. She was happy they got through the gate fine, looking back before they set off she could see the familiar vine coiling around one of the gates bars.
OOC: Fun to write. Levee should be fine around temples, just iron to my knowledge that messes with Fairies.

Levee’s place was not too far from the school, so the walk was short. When they reached her place, Tsuki stared at the house with amazement. She mentally compared the temple she resided in to Levee’s bronze-gated home. Her eyes began to wander around. When Levee spoke to her, Tsuki caught herself being too curious; her face reddened as she listened obediently to Levee’s request. It was an odd request, but she followed and waited at the door. While she stood there at the entrance to the house, she looked around again. Various plant life surrounded the home. The rustling in the leaves made her slightly frightful, but she played it off as her imagination. A few minutes past before Levee finally reappeared from upstairs, changed and ready to leave.
Tsuki threw her another smile and nodded when Levee said, “Let’s hurry to your place.” Her house was a bit farther than Levee’s, so they had to walk a couple of blocks before they finally reached the temple. Standing at the bottom of the steps, she looked towards Levee and said, “Here we are! I live at the temple with my family since my dad’s the temple priest and all. Sorry about the walk though. If you don’t want to walk, you can wait here at the temple gate. But I’d like to show you what I can! The disciples are really nice too!” Even though Tsuki offered Levee the chance to stay at the gate, she continued chattering on as they both walked the steps toward the temple.
At the top of the steps is a large open area with a shrine visible near the back. One of the disciples was sweeping the front and noticed the girls. “Welcome!” he said. When he saw Tsuki, he quickly added, “Oh, you’re back! Welcome home!” Tsuki waved and motioned Levee to hurry on to her room. They entered the left building and passed several people before they reached Tsuki’s room.
“Please sit wherever. I’ll be quick,” Tsuki said to Levee before she grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bath area. She left to change elsewhere to be polite. While she was away, someone knocked on the door. “Excuse me. Would you mind if I come inside? I’ve brought some tea,” said the voice of a sweet older woman.
OOC: Guess who it is!!! I'll just spoil it. It's Tsuki's mother. She was home and heard that Tsuki brought a guest home.

Levee joined Tsuki on the walk up to the temple. She could feel a faint thrumming of energy in the atmosphere, but she paid it no attention as it had likely been a place of prayer for generations. Looking around, she took in the scenery, noticing everything looked so clean; the sweeping disciple seemed to be responsible for that. When the man greeted them, Levee waved her hand with a small smile as not to be rude, and hurried after Tsuki. She didn't pay anyone too much attention as they got to Tsuki's room. She looked around at the decor in the room as Tsuki ran off to change. Sitting down, she twiddled her thumbs as she waited. A few minutes later, she was humming to herself, slowly slipping into a daydream just as there was a knock on the door. A little startled, she snapped to being fully alert as an older woman opened the door with drinks. Relaxing her shoulders, she smiled and gladly accepted a glass saying, "Thank you, um... Tsuki is off changing. She should be right back." Taking a sip of the tea, she said, "I'm Levee." Not knowing what else to say, she hoped Tsuki would be back soon, not sure what more she should say to the kind woman.

Tsuki was always glad that the bathroom was close by. With the change of clothes in hand, she made her way there quickly to change out of her gym clothes. Leaving them in a basket, she hurried back to her room.
“I heard Tsuki came back with a friend, so I thought I would show some hospitality,” the woman explained. She placed the tray on the small table in the room and poured some tea for the young girl. After showing some gratitude for the tea, Levee introduced herself. The woman realized that she had not introduced herself earlier and said, “I’m Tsuki’s mother. Just came back from the office, and I thought I’d drop in to see Tsuki. Well, I won’t take any more of your time. I’m probably making you uncomfortable! Anyway, you two take care.” With that, the woman stood up and left, leaving the freshly brewed tea on the table for her daughter and guest.
When Tsuki turned the corner, her mother exited her room and was closing the door. “Mom!” she exclaimed, catching the older woman by surprise. “Oh! T-Tsuki. Sheesh, don’t scare me like that!” the woman spoke out, waiting for her daughter to approach her for a hug. “You’re home early today,” Tsuki stated, staring at her mother with a happy expression. The woman smiled back, finding her daughter’s joy to be relieving. “There wasn’t much to do today so I came home early. It looks like you have something to do, so I won’t keep you. You two have fun, and stay safe, okay?” Tsuki nodded and watched her mother leave around the corner before entering her room.
Entering the room, Tsuki noticed Levee sitting by the small table with a cup of tea in hand. She could not help but smile, knowing that her mother brought some tea for Levee. “Thanks for waiting, Levee! Let’s go meet up with the others now,” said the girl, pulling a phone out of her jean pocket and texting the others for their location.
OOC: Now, the question is... would you (erlkings) want to start a new thread at the shopping district? If you do, then I shall know your answer!!! (Updated on 09/16/14. This thread is continued here: After Class Invitation.)
