Raven stopped walking Scarlet around for the remainder of the ten weeks that Roseanne was gone. Roseanne returned to the group with about three months before their mission taking off into space. Upon her return, Roseanne started spending equal amounts of her time in class with everyone else in the crew. The instructors thought that with such little time leading up to the mission, she should assess their strengths in order to assign them tasks on board the ship. 

She had been with Indy, spending a little bit extra time with him when he was having trouble in a simulation mission with a med bay scan. When the simulation was over and they finished their tasks all before the allotted time, Indy went right up to her and pulled her in for a hug, lifting her high off the ground because he was so much taller than her. He was even a bit taller than the other boys in the crew which were all older than him. Roseanne giggled as he said to her, words full of joy. "We finished that simulation mission in record time, all thanks to you cap." He had taken to calling her cap recently, since she had taken those extra leadership classes and it probably meant she was one step closer to becoming the leader of their mission.

"Everyone did a great job." She said to him.

As he put her back down on her feet, they started talking about other things. There was an ages old sport that they both liked to watch on the weekends. The league incorporated one team from each province and at the end of each season, the top six made it into the playoffs. Since Roseanne was from Province of Flowers, she supported The Flowers. Indy was from Province of Ocean, so he supported the team from his home province. That specific weekend, their teams had gone up against each other, and despite the pink team coming from an impoverished province, they had undefeated streak on their home field against the blue team. The blues hadn't defeated the pinks in Province of Flowers in thirty five years. That weekend had been no different and Roseanne had bet Indy that if her team won, she had bragging rights to use against him. 

That sport was just about the only thing she and Raven didn't have in common. He liked a different sport that she didn't seem to be able to get into. But she had Indy to talk about the weekends games.

"One more year undefeated at home." Roseanne gloated with a grin, rubbing the loss in her friend's face. But it was in a friendly way. She wasn't one to over do things like their other crew mate Scarlet. 

Sometimes on the weekends, the group went on hiking expeditions in the mountains nearby. The garden had all kinds of terrain, and on the property there was a hiking trail as well as a beach. They only got to go there on their free days which were the weekend. Most of them were so tired of training all week though, that they preferred to stay at home resting. On their latest hiking excursion, Scarlet had been rude to everyone. She had called Mauve fat, Indy uneducated, Raven a friendless loner, Roseanne a terrible leader, and Honey just a dumb little kid. Seville had been exempt from her harsh words, and Ciel hadn't even gone hiking with them. He stayed back at the dorms to sleep. He told them it was beside the point to have two days to rest, and they were using it to go out and do more physical activity. 

Raven actually felt like he agreed with that, but Roseanne had convinced him to come along. Now he was sure they should have stayed home. They had gone out just so that Scarlet could judge every single one of them without mercy. She then laughed about it when everyone remained quiet and rolled her eyes at the fact that none of them could take a joke.

But Indy gave a small shake of his head at Roseanne's words about her team being undefeated for another year. "We'll get you guys next time."
