Shocked to see Ruggie and Cater showing up at their front door, Glory and Grim were shocked to see them at their dorm.

"Ruggie? Cater!? What are you guys doing here?" Glory ask with a surprised look.

"Boo hoo. You've sting my heart. We just came here to visit." Cater told her feigning a tear from his eyes.

"A visit?" Glory ask with her brows curled.

"We'll I was about to come visit at your dorm until...." Soon Ruggie starts explaining why they come together.

~~~~~~
As Ruggie was strolling through the Mirror chamber, the hyena stops his tracks to see Cater stepping to the mirror.

"Eh? Cater?" He utters. The ginger paused and turns his head to see who called his name until his eyes widen to see Ruggie standing behind him.

"Oh! Ruggie-kun, what brings you here?" Cater ask curiously as the hyena walks up to the sociable extrovert.

"...Well, I was going to visit Kitten at her dorm, but-."

"Eeh? You're visiting her?" Cater ask looking surprised. Ruggie blinks his eyes twice.

"Yeah why you ask?" He questions as Cater let's out a nervous chuckle and scratches his left cheek with his finger.

"Funny you should say, I'm also visiting Angel-chan." He told her.

"Oh..really?" Ruggie ask curling his brows feeling a bit envious when hearing this and he nods with an awkward grin.

"Tots, but...Why are you visiting Angel chan for?" Cater ask curiously. Ruggie shrugs nonchalantly.

"Meh, nothing much. Just taking Kitten out to the Track and Field club." Ruggie told him baffling ginger haired third year.

"Hm? Aren't you in the same club as Leona-kun?" Cater ask curiously.

"Yeah, but I still have time to hang out with her until Magift club starts. Sides, she's jogging with Jack cuz he invited her to come." Ruggie told him.

"Aaaah Gotcha." Cater replies understanding what he's saying.
~~~~~~

"And that's how it happened!" Cater cheerily explains.

"You guys are seriously desperate for her attention don't ya?" Grim dryly ask.

"Heheh what can you expect? She's the lovable and angelic goddess that everyone in this whole school adores!" Hendrix chirps intertwining his hands together with a loving smile like he's a proud dad.

"Isn't that the truth?" Chauncey and Langston agreed in unison with huge grins acting like goofy uncles. Glory rolls her eyes at the ghosts' silly antics and turns back to Ruggie and Cater.

"Ignore them, but Cater were you planning to do with me before you guys come to my dorm?" Glory ask curiously.

"Well I was going to take you to a cute cafe at my hometown, but since you have plans with Jack-kun, I'll be stuck around with you." Cater explains. Surprised yet curious, Glory curls her brows at him.

"Your hometown? Like from the Rose Kingdom?" Glory guesses making him chuckle.

"No I'm not from the same town as Trey and Riddle-kun." Cater said.

"Eeh? You're not?" Grim with a puzzled look.

"Nope. I'm from the Land of Pyroxene." He told her holding up a peace sign with a perky grin.

"It's a town full of pretty faced people like Cater and Jack and Vil are also from the same hometown that he came from." Ruggie casually informs.

"Whaaa really? How cool!" Glory chirps, but soon glance at her watch and widens her eyes.

"Ah shoot! I better head to Track and Field." Glory shrills as she turn to the ghosts.

"We'll be back guys and don't cause any trouble while we're gone got it?" She reminds them.

"100%." Hendrix replies with a grin.

"Bye bye Glory's boyfriends!" Langston chirps.

"Be sure to make a move on out goddess!" Chauncey joked making the hyena flustered and the ginger haired extrovert you blink his twice with a small awkward smile. Glory sighs and shakes her head at their antics and grabs both of their shoulders with a friendly grin.

"Let's go ya guys." Glory said as she walks off with Grim. Soon Cater and Ruggie were caught staring at her curves where her hips sways back and forth as a blush crept from their cheeks.

This is what she wears when she works out?

Ruggie thought.

Damn she's curvy....

Cater thought before they realized what they're doing and quickly shake their heads snapping out of their dirty thoughts.

"Erm we're coming!" Ruggie utters as he scampers after Glory.

"Wait for us!!" Cater yelps as the duo ran after the ravenette with Grim leaning his head to her ear.

"These guys were definitely checking you out just now." Grim whispers.

"I'm aware of that Grim, I can feel their stares just a minute ago, but I'm keeping my cool for now." Glory reassures.

And I'm going to have an explanation to Jack once we get there...

She thought as Glory, Ruggie, and Cater transported back to the campus where they left the Mirror Chamber and head off to Track and Field.

—————
Meanwhile at Old Corona, the royal carriage has arrived at the entrance where one of the soldiers climb off the wagon and opens the door for the queen and her friends. As soon as Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra climb out of the carriage with the solider carrying their luggages while the second solider closes the door shut. Once the solider place their belongings down to the ground, the soldiers ran back to the steed as the queen turns back to the rider.

"Thanks for taking us here! Tell mom and dad that I love them!" Rapunzel shouts.

"Yes your Majesty!" They complied as the solider whips the horse causing the stallion to let out a neigh and gallop away from the trio. Afterwards, Rapunzel turns to her husband and her best friend.

"Aah this is exciting! I can't wait to travel to the other world!" Rapunzel chirps with Pascal croaking with glee.

"Honestly I'm pretty excited about what kind of things they have at the other dimension." Eugene admits with his wife nodding firmly with a giddy grin.

"I know! I hope I get to learn all the new things and explore the new places at this new world! It'll be a fun adventure!!" Rapunzel perks.

"Just remember Rapunzel, we traveling to find the new user of the Sundrop flower and moonstone opal. Not to fool around." Cassandra reminds her.

"I know Cass! I would never forget the main objective, but come on just think about it. Us going on a brand new journey to another dimension where we learned new things and explore new places. Doesn't it sound interesting?" Rapunzel beams with green eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I mean...I won't say you're wrong since-."

"Rapunzel! Eugene! Cassie!!"

Soon the trio turn their heads to see Varian trotting towards them waving his arm while grinning merrily with his father following after him.

"Varian!" Rapunzel chirps as the perky brunette queen approaches Varian with open arms and Varian tackles her with a warm hug.

"I'm so glad that you came, Rapunzel!" He chirps with a bright smile.

"Hello Rapunzel and friends." Quirin greets them with a warm fatherly smile.

"Hey Quirin." Cassandra greets back with a smile.

"Did ya finished the portal?" Eugene ask curiously.

"Absolutely. We've done a few tests yesterday and this morning." Quirin informs.

"And now it's ready for you guys to transport. Follow me!" Varian insists and Rapunzel.

"Right, come on Pascal, everyone. Let's go!" Rapunzel chirps as Pascal does his little salute.

"Not yet." Cassandra halts.

"Huh?" Everyone went puzzled until Cassandra blew a whistle where an owl flew out of the blue letting out a hoot as the owl softly landed on her shoulder.

"What!? You're bringing owl with you!?" Rapunzel ask with a wide bright smile.

"You'll never go on an adventure without owl around." Cassandra assures them.

"Great, great. Her pet owl is here? Can we go now?" Eugene impatiently ask as his wife giggles and smiles.

"Sure Eugene. Let's pack our stuff and off to the new world!" Rapunzel chirps happily as the group are off to Varian's house where their journey to the other dimension is just the beginning.

Later at the sports field, Jack, Deuce, and Glory were jogging together for hours until all of them are out of breath. While panting heavily, Jack glance at Deuce and Glory whom all of them pant as well.

"Pant...pant...pant... Deuce, how much?" Jack ask while panting.

"10.21! Amazing Jack!! It seems that for next week's athletic track meet in the club... you and I will have a one-to-one fight." Deuce praises with Glory giggles and smiles at the boys.

"Seems like you're keeping up your speed a lot. You'll definitely win the track race for sure." Glory reassures. The wolf let's out a sigh and shakes his head tiredly.

"I still need to work on that time." Jack informs.

"How about you, Glory-san? How many laps did you make?" Deuce ask curiously. Glory smiles brightly and pulls out a peace sign.

"I did 10.22!" She chirps shocking Deuce.

"Whoa! You're definitely fast!!" He shrills, but Jack huffs and folds his arms with a respectful grin.

"Course she is. She was part of a track team back in her world so it make sense why she's a fast runner. As expected from a track runner." Jack compliments as Glory giggles and strokes the back of her neck.

"Thanks Jack." She replies with a demure smile.

"Speaking of which...."

Soon Deuce spun his head to glance at Cater and Ruggie who were watching them jog.

"Why are you here Cater-senpai?!" Deuce shouts.

"So mean~. We came here to watch you guys run. Is that too much to ask?" Cater coos feigning ignorance, but neither of them didn't buy it.

"Says the one was staring at her a-! Mmph?!"

"Shut it Grim!" Cater shushes covering his mouth.

"I can't tell if he's lying or telling the truth...." Deuce mutters with a sweatdrop throbbing from his head.

"Yeaah they came to my dorm and they want to escort me to the club..." Glory explains.

"And I can't trust a man who has lies written on his face." Jack bluntly retorts as the wolf glance at Ruggie with a serious look.

"This was you're idea wasn't, Ruggie-senpai?" Jack ask getting straight to the point without hesitation. The hyena shrugs nonchalantly and smiles calmly.

"I was going to pick her up at the Ramshackle dorm, but Cater came in and here we are." Ruggie explains with a cheeky grin.

"In the flash!" Cater chirps pulling a peace sign with a wink.

"You guys...." Jack sighs shaking his head at them. Soon Ruggie and Cater walked up to her with Grim scampering after them.

"Anyways, 10.22 isn't that bad for a track record. Here, you deserve a drink." Ruggie said holding a bottled water to her. Glory gladly took the bottle with a grin and opens the cap.

"Thanks Ruggie." Glory replies as she took a sip of water, but soon she felt something off when Glory finds herself staring at the bush. She squints her eyes at the bush before taking the bottle out of her mouth and swallow liquid completely. Glory stood silent for a minute making her friends baffled.

"Um Ki-."

As soon as Ruggie was about to ask, Glory gives the water bottle to him with a skeptical look.

"...Ruggie hold this for a second."

"Eeh?"

"Glory-san?"

As the puzzled boys watched Glory marching to the bush with her brows furrowed. Once Glory approaches the bush, she shoves the twigs and leaves out of the way with a dramatic gasp emitting from the bush.

"My my, I have found once again!" Rook exclaims as Glory cross her arms to her chest with a side grin.

"Sup Romeo." Glory greets him casually. Soon her friends walk up to her with curious looks.

"Oi Kitten, what were you-. Oh Great Sevens, not you!" Ruggie yelps.

"Ruggie-senpai, Wildcat. What's going-. Eeh? Aren't you from Pomefiore?" Jack ask looking surprised.

"Oh hey Rook!" Cater greets him casually.

"Ack! Rook-senpai!?" Deuce shrieks.

"Eeeeekkkk!!! It's that creepy hunter again!!" Grim shrills as he scurries up and hide behind Glory.

"Grim, don't call him creepy." She ceases him with a blank look.

"Agreed! You've wounded my tender heart! I'm just here to observe my nymphe." Rook explains.

"That's not surprising since you're a huntsman after all." Glory remarks and the huntsman smiled brightly.

"Oui mon amour and so far, I'm loving it! The way your eyes glint with aggression, your bold smirk, and your speed is just tres bien! Three things just complement your beauty!" Rook praises theatrically.

"That's a bit much don't you think?" Deuce mutters.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Grim ask with a sweatdrop while hiding behind Glory's leg.

"Beats me. I can't if he's being honest or not." Jack mumbles.

"Even when I take a whiff of his scent, he's still ambiguous to be around." Ruggie points out.

"Ah hehehe. That's Rook for you." Cater chuckles nervously.

"Woe is me! I'm wounded again!" Rook expresses as he covers his forehead with his arm feigning sadness making Glory shaking her head at his dramatic ways.

"Anyway Romeo. Didn't you say you want to sweep off my feet this week? I was expecting you to pop out of nowhere." Glory reminds him forming a smirk shocking the boys.

"Eeh?!" Grim shrieks.

"You're expecting him to show up?..." Deuce utters in disbelief.

"For some challenge!?" Jack and Cater shrilled.

"Oui. I definitely didn't forget our agreement from two nights ago." Rook assures with a competitive smirk.

"Two nights ago!?" Ruggie shrieks looking astonished.

"Yup. We texted two nights ago talking about whether or not Rook Hunt here is going to sweep me off my feet today. Sooo...."

Glory then turns her heels and unzips her sweatshirt as she allows it to slip down from her arms revealing her green workout bodysuit cueing the drools from the boys but quickly shake their heads snapping out of their thoughts. Glory then hands her maroon sweatshirt to the tiny hyena.

"Hold this for me will ya?" Glory ask kindly as Ruggie gulps and nods trying not to blush from her hotness.

"..Sure." Ruggie complies as he grabs and holds on to her sweatshirt. Glory then turns to Cater.

"Cater, you have a timer on your phone right? Can you set it for me and Rook?" Glory ask politely with the ginger blink his eyes before smirking back.

"Gladly." Cater said as he walks back to the track and pulls the timer from his phone. Glory then struts to the track with the boys trailing after her. Once on track, the ravenette turns to the blonde huntsman with a bold smirk.

"On the track, Romeo~." Glory beckons with the huntsman smirking back and tilts his hat.

"Si vous insistez~." Rook coos as he marches up to tracks. Once he's right next to her, both of them got on their stances as they turn their glances at each other.

"Prepare to be swept, my Magnifique Juliette~." Rook proclaims as Glory let's out a scoff and forms a smug.

"We'll see about that, Romeo~." Glory retorts as they both turn back on the track.

"3, 2, 1...GO!" Cater announces as he starts the timer, Glory and Rook sprint away through the tracks with the race begins with the two competitive runners dashing through the track, but Glory was quick on her feet to pick up the pace when she sprints all the way down to around the track shocking the huntsman causing Glory to smirk slyly as she runs passed him. Once she runs back to the starting line, Glory screeching against the concrete with the boys going jaw dropped and awed at her incredible speed.

"Damn, Angel-chan's got some skills." Cater points out with his eyes widen.

"Ffgya!? She finished it for one minute!...." Grim shrieks with a shock look on his face.

"Hehe. She wasn't lying when she said she's a fast track runner. She's really an agile runner." Deuce implies with his arms fold remembering the last time he compete in a race during their first day in Night Raven College. Jack nods in agreement folding his arms with a proud grin.

"Guess her training with Merlin actually pulled off." Jack remarks with a grin.

"Can't say I'm not surprised. I saw how fast she was back at the hall and let me tell you. She's quick on her feet." Ruggie informs referring to their race at the halls two weeks ago before the Magift Tournament. Glory turns to Cater with a grin.

"How much Cay?" Glory ask curiously.

"Hmm it's WOW 10.24!" Cater shrills with a surprised look as Glory crept a smirk and folds her arms.

"Heh. What did I say boys? I'm that quick." Glory reminds them with a proud tone. Grim then lets out a chuckle and folds his arms.

"Heheh. She's a boxer, a swordswoman, a healer, a track runner, and future queen of-."

"Sssh!" The boys shushed the gremlin as Deuce and Jack covers his mouth with frowns plastered on their faces.

"Grim, remember what Merlin-sensei said? There are people here!" Deuce whispers.

"Exactly, so keep your mouth shut!" Jack seethes. Grim quickly nods after realizing what they meant as both of them pull away with Grim letting out a gasp and breathe in and out.

"Marvelous! As expected from my Juliette! So fast and beautiful. A perfect combo of beauty." Rook compliments. Glory chortles struts to the huntsman with an enticing smirk. As soon as she approaches him, her dominant switch turns on when the sly ravenette grabs his necktie and lifts his chin with her finger.

"Lesson learn: don't ever underestimate a track runner...."

Glory trails her finger through the tip of his chin before pulling him close and leans to his ear.

"Romeo~." She whispers with a sultry tone and lifts her head to the left to blow the strand of her hair to the side earning aroused responses from the male track runners including her friends as Glory turns her heels and struts back to her friends leaving Rook tilting his hat with an intrigued smirk as the gorgeous ravenette spun her head to the blonde huntsman.

"But it's nice racing with you." Glory assures with an alluring smile.

"The pleasure is all mine, Juliette~." Rook coos flashing her with a wink making Glory giggle but also earns jealous stares from Cater, Ruggie, Jack, and Deuce. Rook then turns around and walks off waving his arm at her.

"Till we meet again, Nymphe." Rook proclaims with Glory rolling her eyes at him with a side grin.

"We'll do, Romeo." Glory coos back as she turns her head away and walks back to her friends. She then grabs her sweatshirt and walks off baffling the hyena and her friends they all turn their heads to Glory.

"Eh? You're leaving already?" Ruggie ask curiously.

"Yeah. I'm meeting up with Ace to watch him play basketball." Glory told them.

"Oh..." Both Cater and Ruggie uttered sounding disappointed, but Glory gave them a reassuring grin.

"Don't worry. I'll hang out with you guys once winter break is over. Deal?" Glory reminds them.

"...Sure." Ruggie mutters scratching his head with his ears droop down.

"Hehe. Whatever you say, Angel-chan." Cater complies with a nonchalant grin trying to hide his disappointment.

"Great." She chirps as Glory turn to Deuce and Jack with a grin.

"And thanks for inviting me to jog with you guys, it was a pretty fun workout." Glory states with the wolf turning his head stroking the back of his head with a sheepish look and Deuce smiles softly with a small blush crept from his cheeks.

"I-It's nothing...." Jack mutters with a tint blush crept from his cheeks.

"Y-You're welcome, Glory-san..." He stutters while blushing and she giggles softly.

"See you guys. Come on Grim, we're leaving." Glory reminds him as she walks off the sports field.

"Yeah yeah, I'm coming." Grim said as he scampers off to follow Glory leaving the boys sighed.

"Maaan~ I was planning on asking her on a cafe date after school before we head back home for break!~ Guess it'll be next time." Cater sighs with a look of disappointment.

"At least we get to see her beat Rook on a race." Ruggie points out. Jack strokes the back of his head.

"...You're not wrong about that." Jack mutters.

"For once...I agree.." Deuce agrees letting out a sigh.

—————
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin was watching the race between his student and Rook the entire time through the crystal ball where he burst into a sneaky chortle plastering a huge sly smirk underneath his bushy mustache.

"Hubba hubba! It appears that the kitten has turned into a total cougar." Merlin slyly teases while watching Glory and Grim walking back inside the campus, when suddenly a loud boom burst through the door making the tiny wizard sigh.

Welp there goes the mood...

Merlin thought as he turns his chair to see his close brunette lake goddess friend standing in the doorway.

"Lemme guess. It's about Rapunzel and the gang again?" He assumes.

"Yes and they're on their way to our world right about now." Vivien informs.

"Of course they are. Hopefully Dire would take notice of our situation..." Merlin mutters hoping he would take his job as a headmaster seriously.

"But then again, your headmaster in this campus is kind of a birdbrain yet he has this ominous aura that I can't seem to shake off whenever I'm near him." Vivien points out.

"Obviously, but I'm sure he won't forget and act like a real headmaster for once." Merlin assures as he lets out a sigh.

"Besides the point. How's everything with Sam?" Merlin ask curiously making the brunette's face flushed slightly red before she clears her throat.

"I-I just got here...and I'm going to visit him right after I told you about their arrival today." Vivien informs him.

"Aah yes. I wouldn't want to interfere with your relationship with Sam." Merlin infers slyly making her turn away with a huff.

"We're just friends Merlin. Nothing else." She reassures with a blush crept from her cheeks.

"Hmmm that's not what your face says otherwise~." Merlin teases. Vivien scoffs and turns her heels.

"I will take my leave now. I have business to attend." Vivien said making his lips curled into a smirk.

"Oh yes~, but one more thing before you go..." Merlin assures.

"Hm?" Vivien spun her head to Merlin where he grabs his staff and taps it to the ground where a sign of Vivien + Sam slathers on a big poster with hearts surrounding the drawn couple of her and Sam.

"Be sure to make a move on Sam because I'll be rooting for you all the way!" Merlin cheers.

"WHAT ARE YOU? FIFTEEN!!?" Vivien shrieks with a tick mark throbbing from her head.

Later at the greenhouse, Leona was resting underneath the tree as always where everything is all quiet with no herbivores disturbing his sleep or Ruggie nagging him 24/7.

Everything was great for the lion until he caught something from his eyes when he spotted an evening primrose right before his eyes where its standing in the middle of the shrubs and other plants. 

As soon as he spotted the flower, an image of Glory smiling warmly appear in his mind as he can hear her voice and pure laugh echoing in his mind.

While reminiscing about Glory, the lethargic lion sighs and pinch his temple.

"Jeez. This is gonna be a pain...." He mutters as glance back at the evening primrose before he rises up from the ground and marches over to the plant with plans for his lioness clouded in his mind.
