Chapter 16
Hoshi groaned and rolled to one side of her bed then to the other side within the following second. She was still irritated with Vul for taking off without her notice and the alien herself didn't really care.
¨You know how hard it is to act like someone who's completely clueless about their surroundings when, clearly, there are two giant glowing aliens with armor in front of their face?¨Hoshi asked. ¨Yeah, tell me next time when you're leaving and I wouldn't even care.¨
¨You have school today, you little twerp,"Vul said, rolling her eyes. "You're behind in class."
¨I don't care, I already studied through everything I missed, so I'm not going,¨she said, burying her face into her pillow stubbornly. ¨Too tired to go anyways.¨
¨You're always too tired to go, jeez...¨
The girl just lazily held up her arm and waved at the air, a way to say, 'Yeah, yeah shut up.' Of course, that didn't affect the fox, but only encouraged her to annoy the human even further. She decided against it though judging by how irritated Hoshi was at the moment.
"I didn't expect you to look for me anyways. Weren't you the one who said you didn't want me to drag you into this problem?" the alien asked.
'Who knows what you would do when you're out there...' she mumbled back, her voice muffled in the fluffy green pillow. 'Hunt me down maybe? Blackmail?'
"Are you trying to imply that I'd use you as hostage for the other human beings or something?" Vul asked, receiving no answer. "Hey!"
'Hoshi, are you home?' a familiar female voice suddenly called.
'Crap..' she said under her breath. 'No, I'm not implying anything ridiculous as that. I was just saying.. Now please go hide."
Vul groaned to protest but then went against her own thoughts, warping back into the transer her operator owned before anything else happened. Hoshi lifted her head up a little as she turned back over to the edge of her bed to stand back up, but instead of getting up safely, she fell off it. A loud thump could be heard from the inside, making Misora, who was waiting outside the house, flinch in response.
"I'm alright!" the girl yelled from on the floor. "Coming!"
Picking herself up from the carpeted floor slowly, Hoshi dashed out of her room for the front door. More tripping and crashing was heard for a few more minutes until the girl got to the door, her hair messy and tangled up, her sweater looking crinkled and wrinkly, her socks nearly falling off her feet. Misora just chuckled and invited herself in as she shook her head from side to side.
"You need to be more careful," the idol said, as she took off her shoes.
"I am careful," Hoshi argued back, a small frown chiseled onto her face. "Really, I am."
'Yeah right...' Harp and and Misora muttered.
Hoshi perked at the second and unfamiliar sounding voice that came out of nowhere, but kept her reaction to herself as she now gave a sheepish looking smile to her friend. Bowing down and rubbing her neck at the same time she continued to mumble, 'It's true. It's true.'
"But still, I'm usually not like that. Well, unless I'm lazy as heck."
Misora rose an amused eye brow at that and smiled.
"Says the one who always falls when I visit."
As she groaned to herself, Hoshi headed back into her room to grab her transer and back out into the living room sitting down in front of Misora. Vul just sat silently and watched the scenery of the house she's been residing at pass by quickly and suddenly halt.
"Is there something you need again? Would you like something to eat or drink?" she offered as she slipped on the contraption.
"No, thanks and aren't you supposed to be at school right now?" Misora asked. "You said something about having to go to school today for make up work, right?"
Hoshi huffed and leaned back onto her couch tiredly, crossing her legs and draping her arms over behind her on the furniture. The girl's friend just frowned at this and leaned forward in case she began to speak underneath her breath again.
"I can go later, not like I care," she said in a completely bored tone. "Besides, do you really think I'd actually be behind on work? That's funny."
"It can happen some time soon," the idol grumbled. "You can bet on it."

"So you end up not going to school after all, huh?" Vul said.
Apparently, it was already night time where the girl skipped her extra class that day and stayed home to sleep. Misora left at twelve in the afternoon so she didn't hold her back from her studies any longer, but it wasn't like Hoshi would actually get off her back and start walking to school.
"Ha, course not. It's not even a regular school day...!"
Vul suddenly snapped her head over to the window where stars coated the dark night sky and went silent, raising Hoshi's curiosity level to it's highest peak.
"Something the matter?" the girl asked, closing her transer, alarmed.
"Something- No, someone is on the loose," Vul said, forcing Hoshi to wave change.
"Wai-" she exclaimed, but she was cut off when she got sent to the wave road. "A little warning next time...?"
"Yeah, maybe not," the fox alien stated as the two went off to look for the FMian on the run.
