Starlight City is a town separated into five key boroughs; the northern district, the southern district, the western district, the eastern district, and the central district.

Of those five boroughs, the two with the rockiest of relationships are without a doubt the north side and the east side. From trying to have the best pizza places in the city to the east side making their tallest building just an inch taller than the north side's tallest building, to even having several fights break out. Safe to say if there were two people you never wanted to see interact, it would be someone from the east and someone from the north.

Which is why it came as a complete shock when the north side's Starlight High would be having their 2014 Homecoming dance alongside their rival school, the east side's Seastar High. Several of the students of Starlight High would discuss it in the hall next to a poster breaking the news.

"We have to dance with those east side losers?" Trisha groans.

"This is gonna be so weird," Victor sighs.

"Who thought this was okay?!" Randy shouts.

"Take a chill pill," Bernard nudges Randy, "Freshmen like you are going to lose your voice if you screech like that all the tim-"

Though before Bernard can finish his complaint, fellow senior and ex-student council president Evan Dixon shoves his way past him and towards the sitting X Locke, the new student council president.

"Hah! What a complete mess you made having us share a homecoming with Seastar!" Evan laughs as he elbows X, "Take a look at this complete buffoon! This is why I should've stayed as student council president."

"Y'know there actually weren't any plans to even have a homecoming this year. The school didn't have any funding left to give after how costly those renovations last year were. Oh and all the 'business meetings' you did all the time," X Locke explains, "If I didn't reach out to Seastar High, then you all wouldn't even have a dance to get mad about. Something Dixon here was more than fine with happening."

People start to get quiet before X remarks, "Y'know, if this joint homecoming really is as terrible as you all claim, I'll just let Seastar know that they can go ahead and have their own while we'll be stuck with none."

The entire angry mob falls silent, some beginning to walk away in embarrassment.

"Thought so," X remarks as he leaves sipping on a carton of apple juice.

"Huh, didn't expect that from him," Ronnie remarks as he makes his way to the club meeting.


THE MIRACLE CLINIC: SEASON 2


During study hall, members of the miracle clinic are gathered in Amnestor's classroom chatting about the recent announcement. Randy still seems upset about the whole thing but nobody's really giving him the time of day. Elizabeth is silently getting some homework done while Amnestor is at his desk sipping some coffee.

"I know most are upset about this, but I'm glad we're having a joint homecoming," Sammy says as she sits atop a desk, "It's been hard trying to reconnect with some of my friends from Seastar."

"Yeah I feel you," Alex remarks, "I don't think any of us got to see Vanessa or Blanko over break."

"But still, I just hope most people don't make the whole rivalry thing so extreme," Marcus sighs.

"Yeah imagine how annoying everyone's gonna be at the dance," Selina groans before looking at Randy.

"What?" Randy questions, "Is it wrong to not want to show off how better we are?"
