"Hey twins! Ready to begin our tour?" Tartaglia called from the outside.

"Give us a minute! We'll just put away our things!" Lumine said to Tartaglia. It may be their first day, but they transferred in the middle of the semester so activities are going to pile up. The twins took notes of the lessons, at least Lumine did. Aether tried to take notes, but couldn't understand the lesson. He'll just ask Lumine at home later.

"Aether, are you done putting your things away?" Aether nodded and followed Lumine outside the classroom to meet Tartaglia. He saw that the ginger brought a friend, a  dark navy haired male about the same height as he, Aether, is. Okay, maybe a little bit shorter.

"Hey! This is Scaramouche, a close friend of mine." "Close friend?" The boy named Scaramouche, glared at Tartaglia. "Aw, don't deny it, Scara. We both know how much you love me." "Tch, whatever you say, Ch- Tartaglia." "Oh uhm, I'm Lumine. This is Aether, my twin brother." Lumine introduced themselves. "Hm, name's Scaramouche, as said by this son of-" "Anyways-" Tartaglia eyes Scaramouch, "- on to our tour, follow me twins!"

"This is the school library. Miss Lisa, your English teacher is the school librarian. How she balances her work is a wonder. Morning teach, no class today?" Tartaglia says as he approaches the librarian's desk. "Good morning, cutie. My classes aren't until the afternoon. Oh? Who are these new cuties? I don't think I recognize your faces, hmm?" Lisa smiles at the twins. "They're new students, Miss Lisa. Today's their first day and I'm showing them around!" "Good morning, Miss Lisa!" The twins exclaimed, smiling. Lisa laughed. "Hush now cuties, this is a library, remember. Feel free to come visit anytime. I'm sure there is a  book or two that will interest you. Just remember to return it properly." The twins nodded and said their goodbyes.

"Make sure to return borrowed books on time. She punishes bad students." Tartaglia warns the twins. "Punishment..?" Aether asks. "Best you don't know what type of punishment it is." Scaramouche and says. "Of course YOU know. What? Forgot to return the "How to Grow Taller for Teenage Boys" book, Scara?" "ALRIGHT YOU-" "YOU BOYS wouldn't want to stay behind, right? I can ask the President to give the twins a tour instead." Lisa interrupts, showing a smile to  the boys. "No Miss Lisa.." The boys mumbled. "Hurry along then, you don't have all day. See you in class, Aether and Lumine."

"And this is the Student Council Room. This is where we, the Student Council Members, spend our free time. Feel free to come here if you have any questions or suggestions about the school. We actually have an empty spot, a grade year representative. You see, no one volunteered from your grade level." I wonder why, Aether thinks. Is it a hard role? "What do they do?" Aether asks, curiosity getting the best of him. Tartaglia then explains, "You give announcements to your fellow school mates in your grade level. You're also in-charge of collecting the attendance sheets from the teachers at the end of the week and give it to the President. He is currently not here, probably still in class. Are you interested, Aether?" "I'll give it some thought." Tartaglia smiles. "Please come back here if you decide to join."

"Tartaglia? I told you this isn't a hangout place!" "Relax, Ningguang. I'm just showing the new kids around. Hey twins, meet Ningguang. She's the treasurer." Ningguang, a tall girl who has long white hair, smiled at the twins. "You must be Lumine and Aether. Fischl told me about you over tea-time." "Fischl..?" Aether whispers. "The girl in front of you in class, dummy." Lumine says, causing Aether to pout. "Little Aether here is interested in the representative role." Scaramouche says, Aether forgetting he was with them for a sec. "You're a few centimeters shorter than me though." "Hush it." "Now now, be kind to him Scara." Ningguang sighs. "If you ever plan to join, just tell Tartaglia. He can talk to the President for you." Aether nodded. "What about you, Lumine? You're not interested?" "Oh, I'm not fit for responsibility. Aether is better." Lumine smiled at Ningguang.

"She could be our muse. You know, the school idol." Tartaglia joked. "I mean, she IS pretty. Do you have any talents, Lumine?" "Oh, uhm. No..?" "Idiot, then what will Barbara be then?" "Wait, thats an actual role?" Aether was confused. There is actually a school idol? And Barbara? The girl who was sleeping in class? "Technically it isn't. Its just what the students here call Barbara since she performs a lot in programs. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the tour, Lumine and Aether." The twins said their goodbyes and left the room, followed by Scaramouche.

"See you later then Ninggua-" "You've taken a liking to them, Tartaglia?" Ningguang cuts him off. Tartaglia stopped in his tracks and looks at the girl. "What do you mean?" Ningguang rolls her eyes, "you never involve yourselves with others outside of the council unless necessary. Why did you volunteer to give them a tour? Do you like Lumine? Think she's pretty and easy to get? Or do you like Aether? Either way, they're too good for you." Tartaglia laughs. "Like them? Oh Ningguang, you must be joking! You know who I really like. If he hears this, he might think I'm cheating on him." Ningguang sighs.

"Be careful not to get caught with him. And not to get caught with your acts. Its hard covering up for you, Childe." Childe, Tartaglia, glared at her. "Watch your mouth, Tianquan."
