Chapter 2 - Blossoming Bonds

Stevie headed back to her room and began to sort through all her belongings, putting them away and then rearranging the furniture to suit her.

Afterwards, she decided to change into pyjamas that Monoyagi had provided, her own clothes mind you. A red panda onesie, definitely her favourite of all her onesies.

With that, she turned off the lights and crawled into bed, trying to forget the events of the day.

*********************************

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Monoyagi shook Stevie.

"What is it?" She groaned, rubbing her eyes.

"Are you sleeping?" Monoyagi asked.

Stevie sighed, flicking on the lamp on her bedside table and sitting up in her bed.

"What do you want?" Stevie crossed her arms.

"I'm bored." Monoyagi told her,"Now, what would drive you to murder?"

"Nothing!" Stevie shook her head,"Killing someone..? I just... I can't imagine ever doing something like that."

"Ugh, you're so boring!" Monoyagi flopped over on Stevie's bed.

"Such a child." Stevie sighed.

"Well, you'd be great at caring for me then since you're very experienced in caring for children." Monoyagi looked up at Stevie.

"You just know everything, don't you?" She raised a brow.

"Mhm! I know everything about each an every one of you, all your deepest darkest secrets too!" Monoyagi grinned.

"What a comforting thought." Stevie nodded slowly,"Now is that all? Can I go back to sleep?"

"Sure thing, can I join?" Monoyagi asked.

Stevie paused,"I... But I thought- Y'know what? Sure, might as well." Stevie immediately gave in, she was too tired to really care.

"Woo!" Monoyagi crawled beside her,"Night!"

"You better not snore." Stevie sighed as she lay back.

Surprisingly, despite her surprise guest, she managed to sleep quite well.

*********************************

That morning, Stevie woke up as if it was normal, 6:30 am sharp. As she sat up, she realised she wasn't in her home but the memories of the previous day quickly flooded back to her.

She tossed her blanket on top of Monoyagi before changing into something new. Monoyagi supplied her with a copy of her usual outfit but she wanted to try some of her other clothes.

"Right, dressed. Now what?" Stevie asked herself as she fiddled with her sleeves,"Ah, breakfast."

And with that, she headed towards the dining hall and straight through into the kitchen where she began to prepare something for everyone, some pancakes.

Soon after, Monoyagi appeared on the monitor above her.

"Attention, students! It is now 7am, time to rise and shine~" She announced,"Breakfast is being served in the kitchen so come and get it!"

Then she disappeared and after a couple minutes went by, people began to filter into the dining hall and grab some pancakes.

Stevie, happy with herself, stood by the kitchen door. That's when Ray approached her.

"You sure you're only gonna have one?" He raised a brow.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. I don't eat a lot." Stevie replied.

"Are you absolutely sure?" Ray asked.

"You're being uncharacteristically concerned for someone, what's wrong?" Akira crossed her arms as she walked over.

"Eh? Nothing's wrong." Ray scoffed at the suggestion.

"Whatever you say." Akira rolled her eyes,"Anyway Stevie, wanna hang out with us after breakfast?"

"Uh, sure, I don't see why not." She agreed.

And soon, the trio set off towards the Prize Room.

"What are we gonna do?" Akira turned to Ray.

"Well, we're gonna see who can collect the most of these." Ray pulled out a coin with Monoyagi on it,"The plushie said these were Yagicoins and we could exchange them for prizes so... Whoever collects the most wins!"

"Sounds like a fun game." Monoyagi popped up from behind the counter.

"Hey!" Stevie jumped,"You have to stop doing that."

"Hm... I'll consider it." Monoyagi nodded,"I'll start a timer for one hour, now go!"

And with that, they split up and scanned the school top to bottom to collect as many of these Yagicoins as possible. Once their hour was up, they returned to the Prize Room.

"Well?" Monoyagi looked around.

"I only got five, I got distracted by Jeff and Jay arguing about something dumb." Akira shrugged.

"Fifteen." Stevie showed hers, just enough to fill her hands.

"Heh, thirty." Ray revealed a leather pouch that he had his coins inside.

Akira gasped,"You better not have cheated!"

"Look, I may be a liar but I'm not a cheat. Now you piece of shit, what can I get with these?"

"That was unnecessarily cruel to the robo-goat." Akira commented.

"Oh, hush." Ray nudged her.

"Lemme see." Monoyagi disappeared before revealing three prizes,"All these cost thirty Yagicoins."

The first was a large and obnoxiously coloured water gun, the second was a statue of a hammer, almost like Thor's Mjollnir and the third was a bunch of seeds.

"Do they cost that together or separately?" Ray questioned.

"Oh, separately, the seeds aren't that expensive!" Monoyagi laughed,"The water gun is ten, the statue is fifteen and the seeds are five."

"Still quite expensive seeds but... I'll take the gun and the seeds, you can keep your statue." Ray shrugged and handed over fifteen Yagicoins.

"Deal!" Monoyagi took the statue and out it back below the shelf as Ray took his prizes.

"Come on, Akira. We've gotta go shoot Daiko in the face with this." Ray nearly ran out the door.

"Ray, remember, Daiko's a friend!" Akira called after him.

"Akira, we call them allies." And with that, Ray hurried out of the room.

"Seriously, wait up!" Akira ran after him, nearly bumping into Scott and Crystal as they walked in.

Stevie realised she was just stood awkwardly and decided to walk out as well.

"Now what?" Stevie thought as she bumped into Teri,"Ah, Teri!"

"Stevie? Wanna hang for a bit?" She asked.

"Mhm!" Stevie nodded and Teri lead them back to her room.

It was almost identical to Stevie's aside from the various scripts scatted around.

"Yeah, they're from my old shows. Don't know how the robo-goat got 'em." Terishi shrugged.

"How many shows have you done?" Stevie asked, sitting on the floor.

"Too many to count." Terishi chuckled, sitting beside her,"Want me to tell you some characters I've played?"

"Yeah!" She nodded.

"Let's see, I was the Prince's Manservant in Snow White. Cuthbert, the comic relief. I was a gang member, the Boss' nephew, in Sister Act. His name was TJ, the dumbass. I was Penny, Tracy's best friend, in Hairspray and I was called to help make a rewrite of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to make it better." Terishi explained.

"Woah, that's incredible!" Stevie smiled.

"Well Stevie, what do you do?" Terishi raised a brow.

"Not much, honestly." Stevie admitted,"I've dabbled in music and writing but I've never really been able to pursue anything because I have to care for my younger siblings."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Dai and I have to look after our younger sister because of our d-" Terishi froze,"She's alone with him..."

"H-hey, let's try not to think about it, okay?" Stevie tried changing the subject,"Uh, would you like me to tell you about my siblings."

Terishi nodded slowly and Stevie sighed.

"Well, there's my younger brother, Dylan but he prefers going by Tetra, his online alias. He's the Ultimate Tetris Player and I'm so proud of him. Then is my younger sister Kayleigh, she's really into writing so maybe she'll get an Ultimate based around that if she's lucky. After that is my other younger sister, Kellie. She's adorable, what else can I say? She's the one who brightens our days. Finally, our baby sister Amy. My only complaint is the amounts of times she wakes during the night." Stevie informed her.

"And you care for them all? By yourself?" Terishi raised a brow.

"Now that Tetra's older, he's around 14-15 now, he started helping me look after everyone but for a time, yes, it was all by myself." Stevie sighed.

"Well, I suppose that's something we can relate to. Y'know, being mature and caring for others." Terishi patted her back.

"Yeah... Yeah, it is." Stevie wrapped her arm around Teri's shoulder,"Best friends?"

"You get attached quickly, don't you?" Terishi chuckled.

"I do." Stevie nodded.

"Heh, you're a little weirdo. Sure, I'll be your best friend." Terishi agreed.
