"Oh, my gods." Pearl breathes, staring at the vast campus she is about to join. She grabs her large suitcase and with a big breath, pushes past the open gateway. Inside she growls. A few lines about how there is so much noise. She walks down hall after hall trying to find her homeroom.

"Pearl?" A familiar voice questions. "Is that you?"

Pearl is pleasantly surprised as she turns. With a large grin and a tilt-up, she is met by her younger half-sister Adagio. "Adagio you've grown so much, how long has it been?"

Pearl throws her tiny frame at her tall sister. The two embrace. After a few moments Adagio unwraps her arms from Pearl. The girls hold themselves at arm's length. Each taking in how much the other has grown. Well not so much in Pearl's case. "I know,"

"It feels like years but it's been a month.."

"Only a month? Gods... Oh! Whose your homeroom?" Pearl asks grabbing her suitcase's handle. She begins walking. Adagio follows close behind.

"English with Chiron. What about you?" Pearl grins.

"Guess what,"

"No way,"

"Yes way, you're gonna have to deal with me in English," Pearl adds hops to her steps. "So why are you here?"

"It was dad's idea.. and you know he's particular, so he very "subtlety" pushed me to go and of course Mother agreed. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've been told he wants me to have some friends. Dad says or well, thinks that I have none. So here I am. At this very well-built school." Adagio asks as it's a known fact that Pearl is homeschooled. At least up until now. "What about you?"

"Lately homeschooling been too easy. The twins insisted I come here...And friends would be a plus," Pearl stops walking. She pushes a few curls of hair pout of her face.

"I get where you're coming from, to have some more would be great," Adagio stops too.

Pearl gets a good look at Adagios outfit: she was wearing a maroon sweater, dark blue jeans with no rips, black high-top converse, she had a dark blue backpack with a bunch of diamond-shaped designs and a bunch of pins from bands Pearl doesn't recognize.

"COMING THROUGH! LUNA NEEDS TO GET TO CLASS! " Luna, a girl with dirty blond hair, yells running down the hall and almost crashes into Pearl.

Unscathed Pearl summons some water from the nearby fountain. She uses the water to grab the girl's waist. Pearl yanks on the water and Luna screams as she goes flying towards Pearl and Adagio. Her suitcase in tow. Pearl winces at Luna's screams. She does her best to stop from passing out. Pearl puts her hand up in time to stop Luna. That doesn't stop Luna's suitcase from ripping out of her hands and slamming into Adagio.

"Yo, what's with this water stuff?" Luna asks slumping in the water around her waist. Pearl and Adagio get a good look at Luna. The sisters take note of what she's wearing and her demeanour. Luna's hair reaches the lower part of her shoulder blades. On her back is a galaxy print backpack. She's wearing light grey tights, rainbow converse, and mid-thigh black shorts, paired with a teal t-shirt that says 'your dog has fleas'.

"You almost ran me over, and I don't think that's very nice since I'd rather not become roadkill," Pearl states smirking at the plan she just thought of.

"I almost ran a lot of people over. What makes you so special?"

"Well, I was able to catch you whereas everyone else did not or just didn't care enough," Pearl says looking around and seeing some people staring at them. She releases Luna and puts the water down the drain in the fountain. Adagio passes Luna her suitcase and mutters about being ready the next time.
