   Hello everyone! So, a little bit of... sibling drama, huh? XD Well, I felt the need to be a little bit evil >:D But, not too much... that's for later. But, let's just move onto the part!
~~~~
Your Point of View:

   "So, how are going to design this?" Dante asked the group, as I quickly sat back down.
   "I'm not sure. I do think we should add a Phoenix though. We should make that our mascot." Cadenza responded, writing that down.
   "How we can we incorporate the drop?" Laurence asked the group. "Is it like a drop of water?"
   "I think we should have the Phoenix's feather resemble different sizes and shapes of drops. Besides the head of course." Garroth replied.
   "And because our band isn't heavy metal or hardcore rock, we should back up from aggressive things. We should make the Phoenix a different color." I added.
   "What color?"
   "Hmm... maybe blue?" Dante smirked.
   "Haha, very funny Dante." Laurence rolled his eyes.
   "I wouldn't actually mind blue." I commented. 
   "Blue's my favorite color." Garroth chuckled.
   "Seriously? HAHA!" Dante laughed. "Yes!"
   "Alright, blue it is." Cadenza wrote down. As we continued to think of ideas, we had a page filled with ideas. Most of these were pretty ridiculous, thanks to Dante. The bell rang, and for the rest of the day, it wasn't that great. I mean, drama was kind of a lecture today, which made me kind of sad. Then, 7th period came around. All of us had separated, and I headed to my Journaling class. 

Dante's Point of View:

   As Garroth, Laurence, and I changed into our armor, Ms. Dark was in the other room, pulling out something. We all looked at each other, concerned.
   "BOYS!" she yelled, "LET'S HURRY UP!" we quickly finished up, and walked out of the small armor room. "Alright, wait a minute, what kind of armor is that?" she asked us.
   "Our normal armor." I replied, looking at her confused.
   "Um, no." she replied, "You need someone more flexible. THINK FAST!" she threw a pen, and I dodged it, barely.
   "HEY!" I frowned.
   "Haha, nice dodging skills. However, your armor got stained." I looked at my shoulder, and surely enough, there was a pen mark.
   "Darn it." I mumbled.
   "Also, you need someone more... professional. Something you can move in. You're advanced, not chickens. Take that as a compliment by the way." she smirked, "Alright, I think I have something." we all walked to a box she had. She opened it up, and dug through the contents. 
   "Of course they would be at the bottom of the bag. Laurence, you get green, Garroth, you get blue, and Dante you can have red. I figure your suits might as well match your weapons. Now, you have 2 minutes to change. Oh, and here's some padding. It's pretty light." she handed us these things, and we walked into the changing closet again.
   "What's up with that?" Laurence asked us.
   "I don't know, but I'm glad mine's red." I smiled. 
   "This is too big..." Garroth looked at us, with the suit on. Then, his bracelet lit up. The suit lit up with it, and tightened to his size. He moved his legs up and down, and mumbled, "Never mind." 
   "That was cool!" Laurence exclaimed, "But I will say, I look pretty hot in this." he smirked, looking in a mirror.
   "Yeah yeah, whatever." I snorted, "But, these are pretty cool." While they were mostly colors like black and gray, it also had details of red and silver, making it pretty cool. We put on the new combat boots, and mine had red detailing, with a red thing on them. Well, these didn't look like Garroth's or Laurence's. We walked out, and she smiled, 
   "Glad to see they fit perfectly." she smiled, "But, we have to test them out. Garroth, see your sword?"
   "Yeah." 
   "Hold your hand up, as if you were going to grab it. Don't move. Now think about the sword floating over and you getting a hold of it." he nodded, before doing so. I saw his sword glow blue, and his hand glow blue. The sword came over, and he grabbed it. Laurence gasped, and I dropped my jaw. That was amazing.
   "Alright, Laurence... try doing the same thing with yours." he stretched his hand out, and the sword instantly connected to his hand. 
   "Dante, hold out both your hands, and try running. Those boots are supposed to give you a boost."
   "But, there's no room..." she pressed a button and then a door opened to the school's basement. We had this whole entire space.
   "Is that enough? Run with your hands ready to grab something."
   "Um, OK." I started running, and I was going at incredible speed. Then, I could hear something swoop, and then I felt something. It was one of my katanas. Then, I saw the other. I stopped, before holding them up. "OH YEAH!" I yelled. I ran back, and I didn't run out of breath... this was amazing!
   "Good, they work." she closed the door, and then grabbed a clipboard. "That's great, actually. So today, we're going to work on dodging with this armor. You can easily move in this armor, as Dante showed us just now. So, we're going to work with that. Alright, I want you all to position yourselves on those lines. I also use the technique of color-coding. Hopefully you can all assume which is yours." I went on the red, and then she smiled, "Good. Now, I have a simulation. You can use your weapons, but your goal is to try and dodge those arrows without moving. You'll have a barrier. If you hit it, you'll get bounced off it, and land right in the middle again. You will have room, but not a lot. A glow of red surrounded me, and she wasn't kidding. "NOW!" the arrow went straight for my chest, and I used my katanas to hit it back. It worked! We continued, and I started getting tired. Then, the simulation disappeared.
   "Not bad, not bad at all. You're all better than I thought. However, that was Level 1."
   "Really?" Laurence asked her, surprised.
   "Yep. If you're all tired, just wait till Level 2. But, there's only 5 minutes of the period left, so I'm gonna let you change. But before, put your weapons away." we nodded, and put away our things.
   "Garroth, do you still have the bracelet?"
   "Yeah, why?"
   "I'm upgrading it. In fact, hurry up and all of you can get an upgrade." we ran into the closet, and quickly changed back. We walked out, and she handed us these... watches.
   "Yes, they tell time, in fact, they have the precise time. But, it also has instant connection with each other, and has a connection to your inner magicks. If you feel overly angry, sad, or anything else, it can trigger the watch. Be in control of your emotions boys, because I don't need no babies. Also, never take these off. They're fireproof and waterproof. Heck, they're bulletproof. If you take them off, you lose instant connection to you and your weapon. But, the bell's gonna ring, so I'm gonna let you go. Have a good day boys." we grabbed our stuff, and thanked her. "Oh wait, I need to give you this. It's a form for use of weapons. I know your parents signed this before, but I need it for my teaching. Make sure you turn this in to me by tomorrow." we all nodded, before walking out. I felt a burst of excitement hit me like a wave or energy.
   "This is so cool!" I exclaimed, looking at my watch. 
   "Yeah, but we can't tell anyone." Laurence frowned.
   "What if people start asking us?" Garroth asked Laurence and I.
   "We bought them, for ourselves..." I trailed off, "What other reason would you get a watch?"
   "Nobody buys watches anymore." Laurence commented, "But we can say we got them for our birthdays or Christmas years back."
   "That's good. OK, I gotta go meet up with Cadenza. Debate is OK, but it's kind of weird at the same time. Oh well, see you all after school!" I walked off.

Garroth's Point of View:

   "Alright, (F/N)'s just right here. Dante just ran off though." Laurence mumbled. I looked down the hallway he ran towards.
   "Yeah, I guess everyone just wants the day to be over, huh?"
   "Definitely. All right, I'll see you later Garroth." Laurence walked off.
   "See ya." I replied. The bell rang, and I sighed. How was I going to tell (F/N) about Zane?

Your Point of View:

   I walked out of the classroom feeling a bit relaxed. We did this thing called rush-writing, where we wrote whatever came in mind. I felt like a million weights came off my shoulders. I wrote about the wedding, Cadenza's constant rambling about the apparent love triangle between me, Laurence and Garroth, and the daily rush in general. I found Garroth in his usual spot, and he asked me, 
   "Hey, I need to tell you something. Can we go outside today?"
   "Sure." I replied. We sat outside, in the outside tables. I looked at him, and he sighed, 
   "So, Zane pulled me over from lunch today while you and Cadenza were gone."
   "Laurence and Dante told me. You looked nervous at lunch. Are you OK?"
   "Not really. Look, he pulled me over because he was mad from the game, when you benched him."
   "Really?" I looked up, "He could've just pulled me over instead, I wouldn't have cared."
   "I don't think that's the point. When Zane gets mad, he gets MAD. He got in trouble with my dad, because of what happened that day. He's upset at you, and he told me he wanted you to feel humiliation."
   "Really?"
   "Yeah..." Garroth sighed, "I hate it when he interferes like this. It gets on my nerves. Zane can get away with anything."
   "Why?"
   "In his own words, he's a great liar. He lies his way out of every situation, and gets away with it too. He's so frustrating."
   "I'm not going to let him do that. He's not going to get away with messing with me, I'll tell you that. If he wanted me to get the message, he would have just done it face to face instead of chickening out." I mumbled, "I'm not letting him scare me away."
   "What are you going to do at the wedding?"
   "If he does anything at the wedding, it's going to be a big deal. They're going to think he wants to be the center of attention, and tell him off. There's no way he's gonna ruin the wedding. How could he lie his way out of that?"
   "That's a good point. I should probably tell Marie about this."
   "That would be a good idea." I replied, "But thanks for giving me the heads up. I know now to watch out for Zane, and his minions. Who are those people anyways?"
   "The girl with white hair and purple eyes is Sasha, the one with blonde hair and pink eyes is Polly, the one with greenish eyes and long brown hair is Zenix, and then you have Zane. But, everyone thinks he's one of the most popular people, if not, then the most popular person in school. He only cares about his social life."
   "Seems predictable." 
   "No kidding. I mean, I want him to be nicer, but at the same time, I know that's not going to happen. He hangs around so many bad influences. It makes me feel like an awful brother."
   "Hey, you're not an awful brother, Garroth. It seems like you really care about him. I think his choices are what makes him the person he is, it's not your doing."
   "I know, I just can't help but feel somewhat bad."
   "You can't be in a mood like this, besides, the wedding's coming up... and there's no need to be upset when a wedding's happening."
   "Yeah, you're right."
   "Of course I am. Now, let's practice our duet, and make this mood better, shall we?"

   AND FINALLY GOT THIS DONE!!! YAS!! XD Hello!!! So, I finally got this done, and I wanted to finish it earlier but then I was being a weirdo so now I can finally focus on one of the main things, which really makes me happy! :D *happy faces!!!* So yeah!
