[Occasional Pallette] Rainbow Enlighters

Chapter 2

Wednesday: La luminosité Highschool; Mid semester

From where we left off from last time, we continue her journey at the next day of school. It's a normal day as usual, but with an incredible development. Flaire is starting to use the style that Marie recommended her. From what we remember, that style is a natural curly hair, and a red bow. She also has her gloves in which she can transform as Scarlet when there's danger. She's off to a good start today, and we're all proud of her. Now onto what's happening right now. It's lunch time, and we're back at the same scene where in Flaire tried to join someone for lunch, but failed. It's her 2nd chance today. She made her way close to a table where the twins from last time eat. The twins wonder if she'll eat with them, or leave. Flaire is filled with pressure, and doesn't know what to do. She instead pass by them, and decided to eat by herself. She's eating alone once again. After she sits at a table almost near the twins, she can hear what they're talking about.
Cassidy: Hey bro, do you think she knew about us already? I remember you told me about her when we got home.
Calvin: ... Hopefully not.
Flaire: (Huh? What do they mean by that? I never knew about them, because I spend my time wondering about my personality and school...)
Nothing relevant happened next, so let's fast forward the time.
3 pm (Inside the store)
Continuing where we left off from the events of Flaire becoming Scarlet, she made her way to meet with Marie again. She's in the store with her.
Marie: You came here, finally. I was waiting for you.
Flaire: Yeah... Now, can you tell me on what's going on?
Marie: Yeah, but follow me.
Flaire: Okay?
Marie leads Flaire to a hallway that isn't far from her. It has a single door. If you're thinking it's a closet, it's not. She opens the door revealing a greenhouse of some sort. Just that it's walls aren't glass, except for the rooftop. It's more of a greenhouse when I think about it. There's an open space in the middle with no plants at all. The only thing that astonish Flaire is the Tree with a weird symbol on it.
Flaire: Um Marie... What is this place? This doesn't look like a greenhouse.
Marie: Of course it isn't. It's a training base for the color yielders.
Flaire: "Color Yielders"?
Marie: Aka you. You're one of the color yielders.
Flaire: EHH?! I'm a color yielder?!
Marie: Yes. You are a color yielder. Speaking of which, I have to show you this.
Marie does some movements with her hands. It seems as if she's drawing something on thin air. Just like that, she shine, and becomes a different person.
Flaire: EHH?! Marie, did you just-

Marie: Transform into a new person? Yes, I did. Marie is basically my disguise as a human. My real name is Alicia, from the Planet of Colors. Yeah, I know it doesn't have a name, but we call it that.
Flaire: A planet like that exists?! Wait... Does that mean Alicia is your true form?
Alicia: Obviously yes. My true form is Alicia, and my planet exists. Now, I'm pretty sure you're confused on what's going on. Let me explain it to you.
Marie, now called as Alicia in that form, tells her story. We already talked about that in the Prologue. It's pretty obvious that Flaire is shocked, and sad when Alicia tells about the story. After she tells the story, she starts talking about Flaire's mission.
Alicia: Flaire... I'm certain that you know what your mission is, right? It's obvious, especially when I stated the problem of my planet.
Flaire: Well... Is it to return the colors from your planet?
Alicia: Yes. Well, I never told you about the importance of the 3 Legendary Heart Emotions.
Flaire: It's 100% obvious to be honest. Then what's it importance?
Alicia: Well... I can't reveal everything, so I'll have to wait for the right time to say it.
Flaire: Oh... Okay... When will you say it, if it's already the exact time?
Alicia: ... When there's 3 more color yielders, that would be the right time.
Flaire: THERE'S MORE COLOR YIELDERS OTHER THAN ME?!
Alicia: Yes... I said Color Yielders plurally, so that's obvious, but we have to stop talking now. There might be customers or people entering the area. I'll change back to my human form now.
Alicia does the exact movements from earlier when she transformed. She shine once more, and became Marie again.
Marie: Alright, let's go out of this room for now.
Flaire: Okay...
The two girls walk out of the base. When Flaire closes the door, she's been greeted with 2 familiar faces. Without hesitation, Marie greeted these 2 people.
Marie: Hi miss and sir, Welcome to the place where you can express your true colors. What brings you 2 here?
Calvin: Well... We're checking if there's a new store in which it sells accessories. That's where we found out that this store exists.
Marie: Oh... So you passed by here, for a new store to check. Then out of all themes, why accessories do you choose as a theme?
Flaire notices that it's a different pattern on how she greeted the customers. She's impressed that she's able to identify certain traits of every single person.
Cassidy: I'm actually finding new accessories.
Marie: Oh, is that so? Well, okay. There's accessories in which fits for you. To be honest here, even though our eyes have a special aura, it doesn't quite match the color to you. So I'm thinking of black as a highlight.
Cassidy: That would be Calvin here. He wears black as his highlight.
Flaire was stood there. As if she was daydreaming, she said something which came out of her head.
Flaire: But since you two look like twins, should both of your highlights be similar?
There's silence. An awkward silence. Until Cassidy spoke up.
Cassidy: Oh well, if it wasn't the batch mate of ours who stalked me and my brother while eating our lunch.
Flaire realises that she's talking to the twins from school. She's left utterly speechless, and starts panicking.
Flaire: EHH?! YOU TWO ARE THE ONES WHO WERE A FAR FROM ME?!
Calvin: Obviously. We know what happened, so would you explain on why you're stalking us?
Flaire: W-Well... Um...
Marie notices that she's panicking. That's when she pats on Flaire's shoulder to calm her down, like a supervisor. Flaire notices Marie patting her. She wonders why.
Marie: Hey, take it easy Flaire. There's no need to panic like that. Everything might fell apart if you won't calm down.
Flaire breathes gently. With a little bit of her calm self, she explains to them properly her reasons.
Flaire: It's about me trying to eat with someone... Oh gosh, I was just embarrassing myself. I'm trying to ask someone to eat lunch with me, but I guess my confidence wasn't enough, huh?
Cassidy: Right... I thought it would be a different thing.
Flaire: (A different thing? Does that explain the talk I heard during lunch time? I think so.) Moving on, what have I just said?
Marie: About letting those two wear similar highlights. Which I have to say, it's accurate. I mean, the girl is wearing a pair of black sunglasses, while the guy is wearing a black earring.
Cassidy: I know that part... But I have an accessory that strikes my mind.
Calvin: Also sis, we have to go home after this. Dad will be worried about us. Now let's go, and do it fast.
Cassidy: Fine.
Flaire notices something. When Calvin brought up their father on topic, Cassidy seems to be both shaken and a bit rude. She wonders if the twins had some Daddy issues. Flaire was left silent, as she thought of that.
Marie: So what's that accessory miss?
Cassidy: Well... It's... That orange rose pin. It's beautiful.
Marie: Following your aura, huh? Well that would be a good thing.
Calvin: Okay. Now let's get that accessory, and go home.
Cassidy: Can you at least let me finish first-
Calvin: We're in a hurry. Dad might be angry at you because of this.
Cassidy is stood silent. Marie felt that Cassidy's Heart Emotion might end up having a breakdown. She just watch everything unfolded. Without any word... Cassidy run away from her brother, which leaves Calvin utterly shocked. He calls her sister out.
Calvin: Hey Sis! Wait!
