"Haaaaaah... Expulsion rescinded... I'm beat." Deuce sighs, still leaning on Ace.

"You're not kidding... And I'm the one who has to drag your ass all the way back to our dorm." Said red-haired boy groans.

"La-lala~ I start as an official student of Night Raven Collage tomorrow! I'm going to leave you all in the dust and take the top spot!" Grim says, excitedly.

"Oh geez, we're going to have to keep a close on him aren't we?" Morgana says.

"Looks like it." Ren says back, a fond smile on his lips.

"Starting tomorrow, we're all classmates. See you then, Prefect Ren, Morgana, and Grim." Deuce says to the trio.

"Saying that again is really embarrassing, will you stop?" Ace says with a sigh.

"Pfft! That's true. Even if we don't want to, we're going to see each other every day. I'm even in Heartslabyul with this jerk." The spade boy groans.

"Which is why I'm the one stuck carrying you. Man, thinking about seeing your serious mug every day, no thanks." The heart boy says next.

"That's my line, truant Ace." The blue-haired boy rebuffs.

"Sure, sure. Almost-expelled-crybaby Deuce." Ace says back and the boy groans. "Well, see you tomorrow, Persona Prefect. I got to lay this guy down to bed." He says to Ren and the two not-cats, then walks away with Deuce on him.

"You know, those two might actually make a good combo." Ren comments.

"Yeah, they're the "fight because they're so close" type." Grim adds.

"I sure see it." Morgana agrees then climbs up onto Ren's shoulder. "Anyways, we better get back to the dorm! After today, we all need sleep." He says.

"You never change, do you?" Ren says with a playful roll of his eyes. "But, when you're right, you're right. Come on, Grim. Let's head to bed." He says, picking up the other not-cat and coxing him onto his other shoulder.

"Right! Tomorrow we aren't the handyman! Finally... Finally! Our bright and shiny life at Night Raven College begins!" The gray not-cat cheers. Ren couldn't help but laugh at his enthusiasm, then makes his way back to the dorm.

~Take Your Time~

Once returning to said dorm, the three were greeted by the trio of ghosts, Ezra, Phineas and of course Gus. As in, almost immediately after they step into the place, the ghost trio appeared before them. Startling both the boy and not-cats.

"We heard the news from the Headmaster. You're now the official Dorm Leader of "Phantom Dorm"!" Ezra tells the group.

"Huh? Did the headmaster come by and tell you?" Morgana asks.

"No, he sent a letter informing us of the situation." Phineas answers.

"Along with the letter was a package and some food for you. It's in the kitchen. And like we told you before, if you're going to stay here, be on the look-out for pranks~!" Gus says next and the three disappear from view.

"Grr...! I swear, we will get rid of you someday!" Grim swears. Ren himself walks to the kitchen area, finding the package and food waiting on the table. Both Grim and Morgana hop down from his shoulders and quickly head for the food.

"What!? No tuna, again!" Grim complains when he doesn't see what he asked for.

"Stop complaining. We at least got some fish." Morgana scolds while directing his fellow "not-cat" to said fish, which was broiled mackerel. "Trust me, it's good." He adds and takes one of the fishes to eat.
