*sips tea*
You know we're this is going,
As y'all know in last chapter the Ace was like "nah I ain't doing this chores" and abandon serenity and grim to do all the work... men 😒.
Anyway new character alert Deuce Spade who unfortunately was dragged in this mess was was luckily able to help serenity from a runaway ace and summoned a cauldron that gave him a big bump,
But grim was like "nah if the tangerine gets to skip then I'm leaving as well,
So now our hero's are off to find the little shi—I mean— adorable little beast to find him,
...wonder how this turns out
❁Rash Tactic and Unintentional Trouble!❁
❀Cafeteria❀
Like in last chapter all three of the teenagers were running towards the cafeteria (with ace finally realized from serenity's hair). When they got there they found the mischievous feline flying around cackling knowing the humans can't catch him.
"Grim! You better get down from there!" Serenity yelled at him only for him to stick his town out at her 'no tuna for him then'.
"Crap! He's darting around everywhere!" Ace said looking at grim flying around,
"Heheheh!catch me if you can suckers!".
"Guh!" The spikey haired male grumbled "getting on the chandelier is an underhanded move!",
"We've haven't learned the magic to fly yet..." deuce muttered under his breath and started to ponder how to get the cat down "we need something to get up there, and also catch him...",
Ace looked at the blue haired boy like he was crazy, he then took a glance at the long haired blond who looked worried as she tried to convince grim too get down.
"Ah, I got it!" Deuce yelled out making serenity who just so happened who turned around to hear the noise.
Ace walked up to her with a confident smile "don't worry blondie I've gotta think of an idea..." he stopped in mid sentence when when he felt that his feet weren't touching the ground "woah, woah, wait a sec!".
When serenity turned around she gasped in shock to see ace floating in mid air "OH WOW!" She yelled in amazement looking seeing the floating boy "Ace your flying!",
"I-I don't know!?" Thats when the spikey haired boy turned to see Deuce holding his pin that had a glowing red pin,
"Why are you pointing your magical pin at me!?",
"I'll just throw you!" Serenity was still amazed by the situation but started to get nervous with the word 'throw', "now h-hold on a minute, I'm not sure thats a good—".
"You're joking!?" Ace said interrupting the blonds sentence before Deuce was getting ready to launch him "wooaaahaaa! Don't make me float!",
Serenity was getting nervous seeing that he was really about to throw ace over the chandelier "wait minute, lets think this through for a sec",
"Y-yeah! Listen to her are you really gonna throw me!?" Ace yelled not wanting to be thrown over to catch grim, but Deuce had one thing in mind only,
"Catch him, ya hear" he said already launching ace over to grim, serenity who yelled in protest said "w-wait deuce put him down I could get him my—".
"Take aim... fire!" He said before throwing ace making him yell in fear "Gyeeeuuhhhh hhaaaaaaa!".
Grim who was flying with a satisfied grin knowing the three humans wouldn't be able to get him... he was very wrong when he heard yelling from the cherry eye'd boy.
"Fggnnnaayyaaa!" He yelled trying to fly away but ace caught him before he could flee,
But all good things must come to a end, in this case because their idiotic plane Ace toppled over the chandelier making it falling from the ceiling and lad on the floor with a big clash!
Deuce being closure to serenity quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her over his chest before hugging her tightly as the chandelier fell making a loud clash sound making dust surround them.
When the dust started to clear out both deuce and serenity opened there eyes, the dark blue haired boy's eyes shifted towards the blond in worry "a-are you ok?!",
Her green eyes shifted towards him and nodded shakingly "y-yeah I am but what about— ah!" Not able to worry about ace and grim when she saw the state of the chandelier.
She push Deuce away from her gently as her face was morphed into a look of shock and horror "the-THE CHANDELIER!!!!" She screamed loud that the echo was head through he cafeteria, Deuce went up ran towards only to gawk at the state of the chandelier.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Ace wheezed still in shock after the throw "I can't believe it", grim on the other hand was standing up but was tumbling slightly at the sudden tumble he take.
"G-grim, ace!" She yelled in a worried tone, she ran up to them not caring about the the sharp ornaments, grim was spinning around mumbling something under his breath stumbling a little, serenity tucked down and held him in her arms "are you ok?",
"I-I screwed up!" The blue haired boy screamed as he shook in fear seeing the broken chandeliers state "I didn't think about the landing!".
The spikey haired boy got up shakingly as he tumbled a little his face having a darkened look "are you... AN IDIOOOOOT!!!!!??????" He screamed grabbing deuce's shirt stumbling a little.
She saw the angry look that Ace was making by the way her looked at Deuce, not wanting them to fight serenity ran up to them and grabbed ace by the hem of his shirt.
"Please don't fight!" She urged when Ace turned his sharp red eyes seeming to get more gentler when she saw her worried look, he let go of deuce but continued to rant "we caught grim but if the headmaster finds out we busted the chandelier..."
"If I... find out?",
A very familiar strict voice was heard behind them.
Nervously did they turn dreading the only person hoping that wouldn't find out about the broken chandelier...
"Ah..." Ace mumbled under his breath seeing the headmaster with his arms crossed with a not so happy look "...headmaster..."
"Just~what~exactly~ARE YOU DOING?????" He screamed wanting to know why his chandelier was broken, grim who was in serenity's arms was still dizzy from the fall "fnyyaaa... the room is spinning...".
"You weren't satisfied with just damaging the statues so you so you decided to destroy the chandelier!?" He screamed in rage looking wanting to know why their was already chaos on the first day of school.
"W-wait! Mr. Crowley!" Serenity butted in wanting to explain what happened "I-it was—"
"Enough!" Already livid not wanting to hear what the blond had to say as he cutter her off, "this is the last straw. I will have you all of you expelled!".
"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!" Deuce and Ace screamed in shock at her words, serenity was taken aback as well at the harsh news,
With the thought of being kicked deuce begged Crowley not to kick them out "please! Anything but that! I Have things I Have to do at this school!".
"You have nothing to blame but your own idiocy" Crowley replied back not convinced enough.
"I well pay for all the damages if I have to!" Deuce said trying to reason with the crow man, though it wouldn't be that simple "this is no normal chandelier. This is a magical that uses candles that will burn for eternity".
"It is a masterpiece made by a legendary maester of magical tools, it is has been to the school since its very foundation" Crowley explained but his next words were almost jaw dropping "taking into consideration its historical value, it would cost no less than a billion Madol".
Serenity gasped in shock, a billion back home she would only imagine how much money a billion would look like almost down right impossible to pay that much amount.
"Can you pay for those damages?" Crowley questioned interrupting her thoughts.
"A b-billion madol!?" Deuce mumbled in stunned, ace butted in the conversation putting a nervous smirk with his right arm scratching his head "but teacher, can't you just fix it right up with magic...",
"Y-yeah!" Serenity added smiling slightly thinking it could be fixed wit magic "magic could help fix it in no time right. So you don't need to kick them out mr.Crowley".
Even thou it would have been an easy way to get out the situation it was more difficult then they thought "magic is not all powerful".
There faces dropped instantly,
"More importantly, what we call the heart of any magical tool, the magical crystal was shattered" so even with magic, without the crystal its practically useless to even change the principle to change his mind.
"No two crystals are the same" the masked Man said in a very disappointed tone "this chandelier will never be lit again".
"How can it be..."
"Crap...what am I doing... What am I going to tell mom..."
the spikey haired boy said already losing hope to try and pay damages but it seems its not possible,
Serenity saw how both of them looked at their sadden look. Serenity felt petty for them she then made up her mind and soon her destruct looked changed into a determined one.
"MR.CROWLEY!!!"
She yelled out her voice echoing through the cafeteria. The two boy and the headmaster flinched at the sudden scream as all three of them looked at the long haired blond who was still holding and unconscious grim.
"I-it-it was my fault!" She admitted making the three boy gasp and Crowley hum in confusion "I was the one who lost grim when I was supposed to be looking after him, and let things get out of hand",
She looked down the ground her emerald eyes looking shifting through the tiled floor "if there's anyone who you should kick out..."
...it should be me".
Everybody was quite, both Ace and Deuce looked at her with there mouths down in shock they no way some random girl just said to be kicked out in one of the most prestigious boarding school of magic.
With the headmaster he wasn't shocked but he was mostly surprise, he may be have an ego but by the way he seen her act its obvious she doesn't go out much or seen a school before.
She almost reminded him of an old friend of his...
"Thats very considerate of you ms.goldstein" Crowley admitted, freckled face girl looked up at him in hop and was about to say something but was stopped when he put a hand on her shoulder "however, even if you were to supervise grim it wouldn't feel right to kick out a mere child with no knowledge of this world".
Serenity looked down at her feet knowing he was right, she hoped that would convince him but I suppose things don't work out for everybody.
When he saw the sad look of the small lord the masked crow finally remembered "...oh that's right. There's one way" Crowley said at out catching the attention of the three "There might be one way to fix the chandelier".
.
.
.
"EH!?"
This immediately caught of the three teenagers full attention. "The magic crystal for this chandelier was mined in the dwarfs' mine" Crowley explained about the magic crystal "if we have a magic crystal of the same kind as the original repairs might be possible."
Deuce already knowing full well he well do anything to stay in the academy he agreed immediately without hesitation "I will go find a magic crystal!" The teal eyed boy shouted "please, allow me to go".
"However," Crowley added before the could agree to anything, "I have no guarantee that there are any left in the mine".
"The mine has been closed for a while and its very possible it's exhausted of crystal".
"I'll do anything to get out of this expulsion rescinded" once again the blue haired boy said with out most determination as his gloved hands turned into fist.
Serenity looked amazed at Deuce with admiration as she smiled fondly,
"Headmaster I don't mind going as well" serenity answered making all three males turned there heads towards her "I read about gold mines like once and I should know how to get around".
Deuce was happy the long haired girl agreed to come along but felt a he shouldn't get her involved,
"Thank you Goldstein, but we don't wanna burden you its my fault I launched Ace towards grim" deuce said waving his hands in reassurance, Ace agreed but rubbed his head still feeling a huge bump 'I still need an apology'.
"No its fine really" serenity smiling waving her right hand while holding grim "Grim is in my care so his mistakes are my mistakes, right grim?".
The fire cats only respond with a wallowing meow.
The headmaster who saw the look of determination in his eyes as he sighed knowing he found himself stubborn students "...fine. I shall give you one night".
"Come to me with a magic crystal by tomorrow morning, or face expulsion".
"Yes!" Deuce agreed as he then bowed "thank you very much".
Serenity nodded as well but turned to the spikey haired boy seeing he hasn't answered yet "ace, are you gonna join us?" She asked with her hands on her hips, seeing her brows forward he sighed scratching his head.
"Uuaaah" he won't be able to get out of this one for sure not with the crazy blond "I suppose. Let's go get that magic crystal and be done with it".
"Use the gate in the mirror chamber to go directly to the dwarf's mine" the masked man said while his arms are crossed.
"Yes sir" deuce said as he scattered away from the cafeteria.
Around this time grim woke up from his nap as he looked around in confusion "ha! What now...? What exactly did I...",
"Grim~~"
He flinched at the sound of a sickeningly sweet voice, he gulped nervously as he slowly turned only to see... Serenity smiling but her eyes did not radiate the same energy.
"You know..." she started to say as grim shook in her arms "I was just thinking of making a lovely fur coat~~",
Grim's eyes yelped as the blond put him down on the table and slowly took off one of the beads of her hair.
Already knowing were this is going grim glanced to the side to see Crowley and Ace seeing the situation they themself not wanting not exactly fond of the angry blond.
Seeing the cats pleading eyes Ace already knowing what it was tied up by the green eyes girl he coughed twice and started to to walk out the situation as he smiled nervously "you know i should get going as well don't want to be unprepared for the trip right? Right!" With that he bolted out the room.
Crowley went ahead as well as he causally but quickly lift the cafeteria making up and excuse "thats right I promise one of the staff to help me with paper, good day ms. Goldstein" with that he left leaving poor grim with his paw out in reach not wanting to face the blonds wrath.
.
.
.
.
"...grim"
He turned his head to see serenity with a dark look no longer smiling, grim smiled twirling with his paw trying to act cute to get out of the situation "I-I'm sorry, hehe... he",
'Oh crap'.
To be continued...
