Ted sat there with Olivia on the park bench they found during their walk. Olivia was now enjoying her double scoop of strawberry ice cream that Ted had bought her. She looked so excited Ted couldn't refuse, even when she protested. Ted was slowly getting lost in his own mind as he thought back on his conversation. She just had to bring up that day. That, horrible day. She shouldn't even know about it much less remember. No one outside of the family was suppose to know.

Suddenly he felt something warm slid into his hand causing him to snap out of his thoughts. He looked down to see that he was now holding Olivia's hand. Or rather, she was holding his. He looked to her to see that she was blushing like crazy but still looking at the ice cream she was eating. His mind went back to the rooftop when she did the same thing. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze as he looked forward. He suddenly couldn't think about Whitette. He was about to say something before he felt his entire body getting pushed forward by some strong force.

He felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his body as he caught a whiff of a familiar smell. Pip flew forward with the boy before they slammed down onto the grass, bouncing ever so slightly. Olivia sat there confused and concerned before Jim hopped over the back of the bench and took Ted's seat with a cigarette in his mouth. Steph rushed forward and began to lecture Pip about hurting Ted, who was completely dazed, even more. Lilith laughed at the scene before her while a boy Olivia didn't recognize stood by here, blank faced.

Ted sat up while Pip simply sat cross-legged by him with a smile. "Pompadour." He smugly said. Steph sighed and walked back to the new boy and told him something that made him smirk. Ted seemed to notice the boy while Olivia was completely baffled. Suddenly she grew embarrassed when she realized everyone saw them on the bench.

"So, I guess you showed the new guy around?" Ted asked now back to normal. Steph nodded and introduced him as Ned. Ted's face scowled slightly at the similar name but didn't say anything. He turned to Jim instead. "Shouldn't you be back at the dorms? I thought you guys had a curfew or something." He asked. Pip and Jim nodded but didn't care to explain. Lilith looked over to Ted's bag and smiled.

"I see you got your present. You try it out yet?" She asked. Ted shook his head and got up to grab it. He didn't even know what it was. He picked the long box up and checked it out. He opened it to find two leather gloves. They were dark leather held together in a patchwork type fashion much like the Boom Booms. He pulled one out of the plastic box and slid it onto his hand. It reached down to his elbow but fit comfortably. "This is, pretty neat. What's it for?"

"To stop you from blowing your hand off. They'll absorb the blast and stop you from hurting your hand anymore." Lilith grinned. Ted smiled and placed the gloves into his bag before tossing the box into a nearby trash can. Ted pushed Jim to the side and sat between him and Olivia, who suddenly found the bench too small. Jim tossed the butt of his cigarette to the ground before stomping on it. The group enjoyed the time to themselves and Ted took the time to ask Jim a question that was in the back of his head.

"Hey, what's up with the nicknames? Leon was the Thundering Bull and you said something about Drake having one to." Ted asked. Jim raised an eyebrow before making a face like he just remembered something. "I forget you're a freshman still. Well, there's titles around WWA. Nicknames are usually given to people with titles. There's the Concil of West Woods but also the Demons themselves since they have control over so many people. Does that make sense?" Jim tried to explain. Ted nodded. "So, what's the court? Like, royalty?"

Lilith heard this and decided to jump in. "Well, the Council is made up of the strongest students in WWA. They deal with any other schools who want to try to move in and raid the school. Every school has a Council or at least has some form of one." Olivia, Steph, Ned, and Ted all looked at her in shock. "The school, get's raided?" Ned asked confused. The upperclassmen, plus Lilith, looked at each other and nodded. "Quite often actually. Like, once or twice a month." Jim shrugged.

Ted's phone suddenly rang catching everyone's attention. He pulled it out of his pocket after some slight struggle and answered it. "Hello?"Olivia had caught the ID and felt a small sting in her gut. "Ted? Hey! It's Eve."

Jim rolled his eyes at the young girl's voice and looked over to Pip who was watching a butterfly pass by in interest. His eyes then fell on Ned. The boy gave him a weird vibe with his cold exterior towards others. He found it odd when he would talk to Steph he would suddenly become prince charming. He kept it to himself since he saw no one else had a problem. Ted finished up his phone call and shoved the phone back into his pocket.

"Eve was just checking up on the plans this weekend. She has transportation already prepared so just text her to let her know if you're going or not." Ted explain before relaxing against the bench in a more comfortable position. Olivia pulled out her phone and quickly sent a text to her friend as did Pip. Ted looked to Steph and Lilith. "You guys going to?" He asked. Lilith shrugged as Steph pulled out her phone. "I might just stay in. I could work on some new babies." Lilith decided. Pip gave a loud, over dramatic sigh causing everyone to look at him. "I respect your decision friend Liliane but I must say I am sad that I cannot lay my eyes upon you in a dress." He complained.

Did, did Pip try to flirt? Was he being a pervert? Wait, dress? "What dress?" Everyone asked simultaneously. "We are going to Fantasy Land! That means we must dress for the times as kings, queens, princes, princesses, knights, and so forth! I assumed Lilith would make for a great knight!" Pip explained. Ted caught a gasp in his throat. He has to dress up? No one told him about this. That also meant, Eve and Steph and Olivia...oh god he could feel himself getting heated up. "Well, if I get to walk around with a sword and a full suit of armor I guess I can make some free time." Lilith smirked. Everyone turned to Jim who raised his hand. "Don't even think about it. I got plans." He declined.

Steph then looked over to Ned who seemed to be spacing out yet again. Ted noticed this and tossed a small piece of wood he snapped off the old bench. It gently hit Ned's head causing him to snap his head toward the group. "You wanna go to? I'm sure Eve wouldn't mind." Ted offered. Ned, who had no idea what they were talking about, just shrugged. "Sure." He agreed. Ted had a small case deja vu but shot Eve a quick text and received one almost immediately. Everyone looked down at their own phones before looking back to Ted. "She didn't respond to me." Pip said suspiciously. "She said it's fine. She'll send you guys the time later on." Ted said putting  his phone away. They soon fell into small talk as they got to know Ned better and catch up on anything that wasn't about the Demons.

They were all unaware that just a few yards away, two different figures were watching them from two different spots unaware of each other. One wore a school uniform. One wore a black leather jacket.
