-End of August-

"I've never had to train so hard in my life. I don't think I can go on." rose says to Yucca.

"I feel the same way but we gotta keep going, we're literally right in front of the gate Rose." Running her fingers through Rose's long hair.

"Do you think I should cut it short again?" Rose asks Yucca looking into her eyes.

"No, I think it's fine how it is." She says smiling at her.

Rose got up from her squatting position and began to walk through the gates leading into the school.

"Were there always this many students here?" Rose asks Yucca.

"It seems that everyone is back from all of their missions," Yucca responds to her.

The two walk until they are greeted by a familiar voice.

"Hello Rose, Yucca it's nice to see you again," Alcea said offering the two a seat at her table with Gladiolus.

Gladiolus had poured them some tea that Alcea had made.

"It's good to finally have you girls back, so are you here for good this time?" Gladiolus asks them.

Rose laughs a little and takes a sip of tea before responding.

"We're here for good, and we've also been moved up to our Junior year," Rose says to them.

"We haven't been moved up just yet though. Iris still has a few more test we have to takes before our advancement.

"It's the lovebirds!" another familiar voice said coming from the distances.

"Hey sis, how have you been?" Rose asks her turning to greet SnapDragon.

"I've been great, and so has my kitten," she says winking at Alcea.

"That's gross, we don't need to know that much," Rose says to her.

"Yeah, now its awkward Dragon," Gladiolus says to her.

"Whatever there's no shame in my acts of love." She says sitting on Alcea lap.

They all share in a laugh at what SnapDragon said, and continued to talk about their most recent missions and whatnot.

"So this is where you two have been, I've been looking for you. I am proud to say you're being moved up to the Junior class with Alcea and Antirrhinum at the start of the next school year." Iris tells them.

"That's good to hear, and it's all thanks to you Iris," Yucca says to Iris smiling.

"Yeah, thanks a lot for everything," Rose says giving her a thumbs up.

"Wait Iris didn't we have a few more test to take?" Rose asked her slightly confused.

"Oh the headmaster said you had all the necessary classes to move up so you didn't have to take them," she said smiling.

Iris then joins them and enjoys a nice cup of tea, and look at the sunset together.

"This is where the real stuff starts," Rose says standing up.

"Right," Yucca says looking up to Rose.

"This won't be easy you two," Gladiolus says to her.

"Yeah, I know not with all this talk of Rogue Hunters and Demon spikes," Rose says to them.

"But with our new power well bring peace back to this place, with our own hands," Yucca says hugging rose from behind.

They all agree and get up from the table.

"Let's get going we've got things to do Yucca," Rose said to her.

With that, they go about their own ways to do their respective tasks and head out.

"This is gonna be a great year," Rose says to Yucca as they head to their dorm.
