Bells chimed as little cafe doors opened to signal a walk in. A small koala bear cooed happily as she welcomed in the breakfast hour customers into her cozy establishment. "Good Morning, what can I get for you today?" she said gently to the fox seated down at a small table near the window. It was a beautiful spring day down in the city by the sparkling blue waters. Animals all about chatting their way along the busy streets just below a hilltop school.

The school as prestigious as it was, has not produced a Beastar in five years. An animal that manages to stand out in society. One that can unite them all despite the differences between species.

Just up top the hill, at one of the rooftops of the school building laid a small garden. Tended to by a white dwarf rabbit with the company of a red deer with elegant horns curving just above his head.

"This is the last time I'll take care of you all." says the rabbit. Her ears flick to the side and droop slightly. The red deer beside her chuckles and stands from his crouched position as the rabbit finishes up watering an empty patch. Once that's done she watches as her company takes off the borrowed gardening gloves and sets down the bag of seeds, heading into the shed to retrieve his blazer.

"Louis." She calls for him in her childish chime.

Stepping out, his ear flicks towards her "What's wrong?"

"Thank you for helping me."

The deer owed her that after all. He had last seen her before her kidnapping, he couldn't face her after what he chose to do. But he couldn't shy away from her forever, she was his friend. Louis clears his throat and nods in response not trusting his voice to answer back, he shrugs his blazer on and hears the rabbit giggle to which he flushes slightly at. Once they get the gardening tools they had used put away, Louis ruffles the fur between the white rabbits ears, she flushes at the contact. "Keep in touch..and don't get into trouble. I have enough of that from Legosi." He says softly which makes Haru pout childishly. The red deer let's a chuckle slip from his lips once more and takes his hand back, they say their goodbyes and wish each other good luck as Louis walks out of the garden.

It's the end of March. The cherry blossoms that surround the school are in bloom and the soft wind of spring blows the petals into a twirling dance around the students of Cherryton Academy. They were all in an excited buzz, spring vacation was starting and the seniors Louis walked passed were moving out of their dorms. He saw a pack of students hugging their fellow classmate goodbye with tears falling from their eyes, he smiled at the sight as he walked past towards the entrance of the school.

"L-Louis!" he hears as he's just about to get into his car. His chauffeur waits from the drivers door for him. Turning away out of respect.

"Oh, Juno." He greeted as she caught up with him, she leaned over onto her knees to catch her breath "You're so..hah give me a moment." Louis smiles slightly at the grey she-wolf. Then she perks up with a smile "Ok! Phew. You're fast. But I wanted to say congratulations on graduating." Louis thanks her and then watches as her eyes get watery suddenly "Uh.."

"I'm sorry we just got so close this semester I'm going to miss you!" She throws her arms around his neck and passing students watch the pair. Louis doesn't pay them much mind but he does get taken by surprise from the sudden affection from the young girl. He awkwardly pats her back but then brings both hands to hug her "Don't worry..we can still hang out." Her tail wags happily and he flushes "Ok I'll let you go now. Good luck with everything!" They separate and exchange numbers, Louis gets into the car and waves her once more before he's driven off.
