Destiny's Blades: Realization Part I

Chapter 8 - An Old Flame

From the outside the dorms don't look all that big.

Don't get me wrong. It's still a huge building; but it's like there was magic tied to the rooms or something.

We were all stunned and in awe with how huge the recreational room was.

A billiards hall, a bowling alley, (yes, a bowling alley. We're surprised too.), ping pong tables lined down a row, foosball tables, smaller closed off rooms that had all sorts of instruments inside; guitars drums, pianos, you name it, they had it.

"So, what do you guys want to do first?" Mari looked around, her face glowed as if she were at an amusement park for the first time.

Rose shrugged. "Bowling?"

Mari started to fiddle with her hands.

"U-Um, I know it's going to sound weird but— It'll be Zach and I's first time bowling, so—"

The girls started to laugh affectionately.

"Amazing. You guys seriously have never bowled before?" Noel wiped a tear from her eye. "That's perfectly fine! We'll set the bumpers up for you two then!"

We all agreed and headed towards the lanes.

As we approached, we heard laughter and a couple of familiar voices.

With their backs turned to us, we saw short black hair with a purple streak on the side, and long, curly, light brown hair that was tied back.

"Oh, Raphie! You're so cute," A female's voice snickered.

"R-Really? Well—Uh—Thanks?" 'Raphie's' voice sounded flustered.

Rose made loud vomit sounds. "Groooooosss!"

"Who said that?!" The female shrilled.

Rose started to laugh.

"Fight until the last one falls! Fight until we kill em' all! Stand tall! Our protectors who answered the call!"

"Until the end of time, We'll hold the line!" The girl responded.

"CAMELOT!" They shouted in unison.

They both started laughing together. "God, I can't remember the last time we did that together. I can't believe you still remember it Vi," Rose chuckled.

"This still doesn't make us friends," Vi hastily reminded.

"Yeah, yeah."

Miyu started to laugh. "What a cute little chant."

Vi turned around. Her gray eyes were fixed on the group, the purple streak in her hair seemed to give off a translucent glow in the lighting.

She had her piercings back on and her cheeks were dappled in red.

"It's been hammered into my head ever since we were kids."

Raph turned around and frowned at us. "Hey! You were interrupting something!"

Vi put her hand on his shoulder and smoothed her voice. "It's okay, we can continue our conversation later."

He seemed to swoon at her words and started to stumble on his own. "Oh—Uh—Yeah, sure."

Rose whispered to the other girls in the group. "She was always such a flirt."

Mari let out a small giggle. "Violet, Raphael. We're about to bowl for a little bit. Would you care to join us?"

Raph huffed. "It's Raph."

I swear I saw a flame spark in Vi's eyes at the question.

She was probably looking at this as an opportunity to beat Rose at something.
