I was sleeping deeply due to jet lag when suddenly my peaceful slumber was interrupted. "Y/N" I stirred awake and felt a presence plop on my bed. "Whaaaaaa....." I tiredly mumbled, "Is your phone broken?" "I've been spamming you for hours." I opened my eyes and sat up to be met by none other than Ky. Well, Kyouka Jirou actually "No. I lost my phone." I'm getting it today. Wanna come?" "What time?" "Uhhh 1?" "OMG.. y/n.. it's already 12:45. Get up!" My feet were grabbed, and I was promptly dragged off my very, very comfortable bed.

I plopped on the floor and groaned. Ky dragged me to the bathroom, threw some clothes on me, and splashed ice-cold water on my face.

While I normally take forever considering the overwhelming time pressure, I was done in ten minutes. We ran outside, plopped onto Mage, and began flying to our destination.

Mage She's my dragon surprise! any way, I've seen her all my life, in my dreams at least, but one day, when I was 4, I went to go play in a pond. I went to touch the water, and it shot up and sprayed me. It was quite gross. I think I got algae up my nose. Obviously, I didn't want to be covered in dirty water and was super bummed out. I tried to get the water out of my clothes, and it actually worked. The water came off, formed a bubble, and dropped back into the pond. I felt my shirt, and it was dry. I was so shocked that I hadn't noticed the man behind me. "You out here all by yourself?." He asked with a unnervingly sweet tone Obviously, I was a dumb child, but my mother basically branded the phrase "stranger danger" into my brain, so I was suspicious:

"No, my mommy's not far from here," which was the truth. We were on a walk, and I got distracted by a turtle and followed it to the pond. "I have something fun in my car, wanna see it?" He smiled sickly, and his eyes bore into me. "No." I don't wanna i have Mommy and Turtle, and I don't want to see what's in your car. Go away." The man frowned; he didn't have a nice smile, so I didn't mind that "wrong answer."

Eventually, we made our way there. I checked "my" phone with one minute to spare. We got off Mage, and she shrank back down to a tiny little thing so I could put her in my pocket.


I saw the purple guy and sat across from him; he sat next to me, "You, uh, got the thing?" I said, "Yeah, right here." He passed me the phone, and I passed his. Ky snorted, "I feel like I'm watching a crack exchange." "Ky..shut up, thanks." "no problem. You get a lot of texts. I'm guessing from her." He pointed to the ky and said, "Your phone buzzed off my table; I think it was trying to commit." I turned the ky and gave her a really? Kinda face

He stood up and started walking off, but before he opened the door, he turned and said, "See you at UA." "Huh?" Me and Ky said very intelligently, "couldn't help but see the recommendation letter sticking out of your bag on the plane; maybe we'll see each other soon." He smiled, and then he walked out of the shop, "Well, then, I'd say it's about time we leave, yeah?" "Mhm"

"Wrong answer," the man lunged and grabbed me, "Let go! Mommy, help!" I did everything—I kicked and screamed and even bit him. He would loosen his grip, but he wouldn't let go. I couldn't fight him off. I was only four and got my quirk less than five minutes ago. He put something on my face and the world stared to fade, and just as I thought I was done for, he let go, I fell to the ground, and with my remaining conciseness rolled away, I saw a blue creature jump on the man, then everything faded to black. I would later find out that the creature was mage, and I was fine aside from a little poisoning and bruising, but I would live.
Apparently, my mom came running in and saw mage wagging her tail and smiling, the man unconscious at her feet, and me on her back resting. That's the first time I really saw her when I was awake—well, half awake, anyway. It was also the day I developed my quirks: water and earth manipulation; mage was my other half; fire and air were both stronger together than they were apart. We protected each other. That's how our relationship started, and that's how it stayed.
