"...otta be here somewhere!" Me and Crowley browse the books for any clues of my hometown. Not a picture, mention, artifact nor a single mention of a gem.

"How is this possible?! many books later and no sign of Beach City" I sulked. "Hmm..Strange, are you sure this is your hometown [Y/n]? You aren't lying, are you?" Crowley asked. "Why would I lie about something like that?? I swear I'm not lying!" I insisted. "The only other explanation is that your from another world or universe" Crowley concluded

". . .OH! That makes a lot sense now!" "Well since I am so gracious I will let you stay free of charge until further notice" Crowley exclaimed. "Where am I going to live?" "I have just the place for!" Crowley smiled excitedly.

"...this is..interesting.." I swear dropped as I looked around inside the seemingly abandoned building I'm supposed to stay in. "Quite the charmer isn't it? A little broken down but I think you'll be fine." We walk further inside. My eyes widen at the sight of a particular large portrait of a blue woman—

CRASH 💥 a chandelier dropped close by me barely grazing my face "AH!" I jumped back startled "hee hee hee~" "w-what was that?!" I look around frantically wondering where the source of the voice came from. Just then I felt something pass through my body "welcome to our castle!~" it was a ghost.

"I forgot to tell you. Some mischievous ghosts took home here! Atleast you won't be alone, right?" "I guess?" "Now. Like i said earlier, I will let you live here free of charge, however, that doesn't mean I will let you free load. Food and Money will be payed on your end." He explained

"But I don't have any money on me.." I panicked inside wondering what I'm gonna do without any money. "You don't? Hmm, that is quite the predicament..perhaps you could work for your expenses instead. How good can you clean?" "Uhh, I would say pretty good" I stood proud with my hands on my hips "Excellent! You can be our Janitor for now until I sort things out. Well I'll let you explore your new home for a bit while I go get your uniform and food" "but—" he left before I could even speak

I sigh "I guess this isn't too bad maybe there's broom around here.." I felt water drop on my head. There was a leak. "Ugh! My flame ears are gonna go out if this keeps up!" . . . "I thought you were kick out!?" "Ha! No one can get rid of the great mage grim!" (I'm fighting the urge to skip this part of this story...and I will..for now)

Blah..blah...blah Crowley comes back grim this Job that tuna bed yada yada yada the next day Crowley says to go clean the statues at the Main Street eat food at the cafeteria yaaaayy

-Main Street-
"Look at all these cool statues!" I stare at the statues in amazement "All of their faces look scary" Grim crosses his arms "like this lady, she looks like she has reeeal bad anger issues."

"You don't know The Queen of Hearts?" a red head said. "Queen of Hearts? Is she some big deal?" "She's a Queen of Hearts? What do you mean?" I asked "Noo, she was a queen who lived in a maze like gardens of roses long, long ago. She was a strict woman who prized order above all. She couldn't tolerate a rose being off color, or her playing card soldiers being out of line, She basically ruled over a kingdom of madness, but not one of her subjects dared to defy her. You wanna know why? Because the punishment for breaking a rule is immediate decapitation!"

"Wah! That's seriously messed up" "that's so cruel!" Me and Grim say in shock "Pretty cool, right? I'm a big fan. I mean, who would bother to obey a Queen that was kind all the time?" ?? Explained "Yeah, true. A leader needs to be strong but putting that aside, who are you?" Grim asked "names Ace. I'm a first year student here, Nice to meet ya!" Ace introduced himself

"I'm Grim. I'm a prodigy who's plannin to be the greatest mage to ever live! and that's my henchman" Grim confidently said "I'm not your henchman! Anyway My name is [Y/n] It's nice to meet you too!" " '[Y/n]'? Got an odd ring to it.." "so Ace tell me.  Is this lion a famous ruler too?" Grim asked "Of Course" (and I'm not writing all that if ykyk)

"Pretty cool huh?, Not like some piddling weasel." Ace grins "Myah?!" "Pfft— HAHAHA! I can't hold it anymore!" Ace laughs holding his stomach "h-huh?" "you're the ones who turn the orientation into a fiasco, right?" "The one who can use magic? And the one who wasn't summoned by anyone at all? It took everything in me to not burst out laughing in the middle of the ceremony" He chuckles "H-hey don't be a jerk about it!" "Yeah! And I can use magic! Just not your..type of ma..gic" I looked away embarrassed "as if! If that was the case you wouldn't be demoted to janitors! You both are so lame" Ace laughs "What did you call me?!" Grim shouts angered "and not only that, you two don't know a single thing about the seven either. Not a thing!" "Maybe you should go back to kindergarten before coming here!"

"Grrrr" Grim scowls at Ace "Why do you have to such a bully about it!" 'He's such a dink!'
"Anyways I thought I would just tease you a bit. I'm glad a did. It's been a blast! Unlike you I have classes to attend. So I'll let you get back to picking up trash. Bye!" Ace walks away "hey! Wait a second!" "Myuh-uh! You don't walkin away from me! It's too late for that!" "Myaaaaah!" Blue flames spread around street "Woah!" The flames block Ace's way "Grim stop! You're gonna hurt someone" "No one's gonna make fun of The great Grim and get away with it! I'm gonna make that explodey-head of yours explode all over again!"

"Explodey head?!" Ace exclaim (I need to expand my vocabulary..)  "You wanna throw down with me, shorty? You got some guts. You wanna talk about hair? I'm gonna shave you like a toy poodle!" Grim spits fire towards Ace and Ace counters it with wind magic

"What's going on here? A fight?!" "Oh sweet! Get 'em!" A small crowd forms shouting encouragements "I said that's enough!" I jump infront of Ace and summon my shield sending Grim's flames towards another direction, which happens to be towards one of the statues

"Wait no!"  I threw my shield near the statue trying to save it from being burned but ended up scratching and burning it "AH!" I yelled "Oh no! The Queen of Hearts's statue is damaged!" All three of us panicked "Maybe if you didn't run your mouth this wouldn't have happened!" Grim scolds Ace. "This is my fault?! You're the one who—" "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Crowley shouts speed walking towards us "uh oh! The head mage"

"Did I not warn you 'no more incidents?' And now you burned one of my statues?! It's almost liked you WANT to be expelled?? And [Y/n]! Didn't I specifically tell you to watch Grim and keep him out of trouble?" Crowley shouts "I tried to but he wouldn't listen!" I plead "You! State your name and grade" He turns his attention to Ace "Ace Trappola..freshmen.."

"Listen you three, as punishment of you damaging one of the statues you will all wash a hundred windows" "WHAT!?" "You'll meet in the cafeteria after class, are we clear?" He sternly says "Yes sir.."

(A/N: I'm honestly fighting the urge to not skip this whole chapter of the story entirely because of how..much long dialogue it has. I really need to expand my vocabulary and learn how to use punctuation and make much more exciting add-ons.)
