FTRS Short Story

Visitation Day

Hey! I'm back! Hopefully with another good idea but who knows! Right now I'm just going with the flow, I'll write things down and come back later and change things I don't like. Let's see what road my brain leads me on this time! 

And before we start, I want to add something. If there's speech and it's in italics it means that they aren't actually talking it's more like "telepathy" in a way since they pretty much have a conversation with their faces. If that makes sense. 

Jax's P.O.V.

"Jax!"

Oh no, Raz is heading this way. Hopefully, she doesn't say anything about-

"Jax! I talked it over with Father, and we've decided to let you start off with a meeting. Luckily, Father has one to attend to this morning anyway. You can tag along with him, it's in the next 30 minutes, get ready." Raz says, before heading off.

I was hoping they would take longer to find something for me. Like, maybe a couple of hours? Or maybe till noon?

"Good for you, Jax!" Maxine grins at me, "Is it a political meeting?"

"Isn't that the reason they even have meetings?" Kayla asks

"Well, I suppose. But there are so many other topics you can have meetings about." 

"I should probably go now," I tell them as I stand up, if I don't get ready now I'll end up being late for the meeting.

Gilly's P.O.V.

"See ya," I wave as Jax heads off. I guess he can't tag along with me then. I turn around and Ollie is staring at me intently.

"So, more patty cakes for me right?" 

I groan, "We'll see, Ollie, we'll see."

"C'mon," Maxine says eagerly as she gets up. We follow her outside where parents are slowly starting to turn up. 

"Quack."

I turn around just as Peaches tries to fit my hand in her mouth. I yelp, yanking it away quickly.

"Maxiiinee," I call, "I thought you left Peaches in your room?"

"I did, she must've found a way out. I guess that means she's coming with me," she says cheerily. "Oh, my parents are here!" 

I smile and wave to Maxine's parents before darting into the growing crowd to find mine.

"GILLY!!!!" 

"Han, where's Mother and Father?" 

"Gilly!" I turn around and see Anna waving me over, Hamish, Trixie, Felix, Mother, and Father are with her, "Over here!"

I run over to them, taking Han with me. Trixie gives me a big hug, followed by Hamish and Felix. "C'mon!" Anna calls, "Let's show them around, Gilly."

"Can we pleaaaaaaseee go see the pegasi? Please, please, pleeeaaaaaase?" Hamish pleads. I look over at Mother and Father, they nod. 

"Alright then, let's go!" Anna grins and leads the way.

*Time skip*

"Wooowwwww," Hans says as we enter the stables, "They're so big!"

"Can I touch them?" Felix asks, marveling at the pegasi.

"Sure," Anna chirps.

"Can we ride them?" Hans looks up at me.

"Umm... I'll go ask ok?" I look around for the stable boy (I can't remember if his name is mentioned in the book, I don't have the physical book, and I can't seem to find it in ebooks) "Wait here," I tell them, "I'm going to find someone to ask." I head off into the halls, weaving my way through the crowds of people. Other students touring their families, professors chatting with parents, and kids playing in the halls.
