Roses to be Painted
The group traveled to the Mirror Hall and entered the one to Heartslabyul Dorm.
[LOCATION: Heartslabyul Dorm]
"Whoa~! This is super fancy! It's completely different from our dorm!" Grim said in amazement
"Well, we can't all afford a fancy decorator Chernette said.
"Oh, no. I gotta hurry and paint these roses red." They heard someone say
"Oh, someone's over there." Grim pointed out, gaining attention of the guy.
"Whoa there~ If there are some left unpainted, it's off with my head."
'I feel like I've seen this scenery somewhere...' Chernette thought as she sees the orangette man painting roses.
"Hm? Did you guys need something?" He asked.
"What're you doin'?" Ace asked him.
"Painting the roses red." The orange-haired man said
"Eh!? Why do such a thing?" Deuce asked in confusion.
"Hm~ Your reactions are so fresh it's kinda cute~!" The orange-haired male said in a teasing voice as he looked at the group. "Hey I know you. You're the super sinful kid who stole the Prefect's tart! I'm so lucky to meet the rumored freshies so early in the morning~♪" He said gleefully.
Then the orangette spots Celeste and puts on a charming smile walking up to her.
"And you're the first girl to be admitted here! Hey, can I upload a picture of you guys? I wanna put hashtags so tell me your name." He asked as he took out his phone.
"I'm Deuce Spade."
"Ace."
"I'm Grim and that's my-."
"I'm not your henchman. I'm Chernette Duskstone.
"Alright, upload done~♪...Oh, I'm Cater Diamond, a 3rd year. That makes me your senior~ Call me Cater-kun, okay? Cate's fine, too~♡" He said taking Chernette's hand and kissing, making her flustered.
"Oh, I shouldn't be standing here and talking! The party's the day after tomorrow. It's off with my head if I'm late." Cater said to himself.
Then he turned to the freshmen and looked like he had an idea.
"Hey, hey, freshies~ Can you help me with painting the flowers?" He asked nicely.
" Why're you doing somethin' so strange?" Deuce asked.
"Aside from coloring the roses, I also have to color the flamingos for the croquet match~" Cater explained.
"The flamingos?! Those are weird jobs." Grim said incredulously.
"So, the tarts that Ace ate were to be used for the Prefect's birthday party? I see now. So that's why he was so mad..." Deuce theorized.
"What? That's not it." Cater said taking them by surprise, but he explained. "It's no one's birthday. You see, the day after tomorrow is our Dorm's legendary [Unbirthday party]. It's a tea party that the Prefect felt like doing, so he chose a day that doesn't fall on anyone's birthday."
"The hell's that!?" Ace asked incrediously
"In any case, the reasons can wait! You just have to help me paint the roses! Celeste-chan, Deuce-chan and Grim-chan can use magic, right? Ace-chan can't use magic, so here's a paintbrush~" Cater said as he got them to the bushes.
"Ch-change the colors with magic, you mean...?" Deuce said.
"I haven't done anything like that before, yanno." Grim said nervously.
As the group painted the roses, Chernette couldn't help but giggle at the boys as Deuce made one rose blue, and Grim set one on fire.
"Why can't the roses stay white? They're pretty enough." Ace wondered.
"This is all part of our dorm's tradition. The roses for the Unbirthday Party should be red! And it's been decided that the bat for the croquet match is a 7-colored flamingo, and the balls will be hedgehogs. Oh, but for the flower concert during spring, the roses should be white. This is all important, so remember them~" Cater said as simple as that.
"Nothing but weird rules!" Grim said.
"It seems that there are too many rules to keep up with." Chernette pointed.
"Well, those are rules decided by the Queen of Hearts, one of the Great Seven, after all. Riddle-kun's a pretty straight-laced Prefect who protects the Queen's rules to a T, got it~? Well, I do admit he goes overboard sometimes..." Cater said as he trailed off.
"Wait, what time is it? Oh man! We only have 20 minutes before class starts! We're gonna be late if we stay here!" Deuce said as the group realized they lost track of time.
"Well, guess you can apologize to Riddle later Acey. By the way. Have you brought some tarts to make up for what you took~?
"Eh? I came straight here, so I got nothing..." Ace admitted.
"Oh, man~ Izzat so? Then, since Rule #53 of the Queen of Hearts states that "You have to replace things that you stole." Till then, I can't let you back in the dorm." Cater expressed with fake sadness.
"Huh?! What the heck?!"
" You have to follow the rules if you're staying in this dorm. I really wish I could help, I do but, If I let it slide, then it's off with my head, too~" Cater explained.
"Guys we have to get to class or we'll be late. We'll deal with this after school's over." Celeste said as she dragged the boys away.

time skip-----
" Yeah! It's finally lunch time~~~!!! I see a lotta delicious stuff already~!" Grim said as he looked at the spread of food in the cafeteria later that day after school.
'It's kinda high-class seeing a buffet here....' Chernette thought as she never been at one.
"Celeste! Can you get this? And that, and That!" Grim said greedily as he looked at all the food. Celeste grabbed what she and Grim could share.
"You're too loud! You're pretty energetic even at lunch time, huh!" Ace commented at Grim.
"For someone who's tired during class, you're hopping when it's time to eat." Celeste looked at Grim as she gathered a tray for her and one for Grim.
As she was about to reach for a pastry, another hand bumped into hers.
"Hey! That was gonna be mine you shrimp!" A random Savanaclaw student said. Next to him was a student from Scarabia.
"Hey, there's still more, so no use crying over spilled milk." Chernette said and grabbed Grim and what she wanted for them, walking off, not wanting to start a fight.
"Hey, who was that anyway? I thought this was an all-boys school..." The Savanaclaw student said.
"I heard that's the first female student; Chernette Duskstone. To be honest, no one's ever seen her before..." The Scarabia student said. "Although, I hear she has strong fire magic. It's so strong, not even the most powerful water magic could put it out. And that's not all. She has two unique magics; light and dark."
"Wha?! That's impossible. No one in history could have two unique magics...."
---------------------
"I missed breakfast and I'm about to pass out, man." Ace said changing the subject.
"I agree! I'm digging in~! Oh! This is so good! The omelet is so fluffy, and the cheese is so melty~!" Grim gleefully said as he ate. "(munching) By the by, I saw you guys' dorm a while ago, but what do the other dorms look like?"
"You've seen the statues of the Great Seven by Main Street, right? This school has seven dorms based off of them." Cater said as he popped out of nowhere, surprising the group.
"Ugh! You're the dude from this morning!" Ace said in surprise
"He's the guy who tricked us into painting the roses red!" Grim accused the 3rd year.
"His name is Cater you guys." Chernette pointed out.
"Aw~ Thank you for remembering Cher!~ I didn't trick you, you know~? It's not like I wanted to do that either. I only did it 'cause it's the Dorm's rules." Cater defended.
"You looked so happy about it though." Deuce pointed out with a frown.
"There, there, Deucey~ The rules don't matter outside the dorms so, Cate here is just your very gentle senior~" Cater said cheerfully.
"P-please stop calling me that, senpai!" Deuce said embarrassed.
