Hey before we get to the next chapter, I just look at the comments from last night and I decided to have Sam as Vivien's love interest so thank you for voting. Now onwards to the next chapter.
Meanwhile at Night Raven College, Vivien was strolling through the empty halls heading her way to the infirmary room pondering about the vision she saw a minute ago.
This is real bad, I knew this would happened to Moonchild. I have to warn Merlin about this before she and her friends go on that underwater quest.
She thought but soon her eyes were caught by a small store that says "Mister S's Mystery Shop"
"Hmmm...that's a weird. I haven't seen this place before..." Vivien mutters while staring at the sign.
"Why hello there beautiful."
"Hm?"
Soon Vivien turns her head to see a young man with magenta eyes, black-and-purple dreads flipped over the right side of his head, and an undercut. He has white skeletal markings painted beneath his eyes, on his neck, on his chest, and on his forearms. There are also white rib markings on the bright purple vest he wears beneath his maroon blazer; this skeletal motif is complete with a small skull affixed to his hat.
Perplexed, Vivien blinks her eyes twice and curls her brows at the young man.
He has a good aura yet I wonder if he's actually a good person....
Vivien thought while a bit wary of the young tan-skinned man before she notice him grinning and tilts his burgundy hat to her.
"The names Sam, I'm the owner of my shop. Pardon me for startling you ma'am, I didn't mean to be a creep. I couldn't help but noticed you passing by my shop. However, I'm quite curious. What does a beautiful young maiden like you doing in this campus full of chaotic male students? Technically, you're not a new teacher in Night Raven College am I right?" He ask curiously. Vivien blinks her eyes with a light blush crept from her cheeks before she shook her head at him.
"I'm Vivien. It's a pleasure to meet you Sam." She greets him.
"Vivien. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman like you." Sam compliments making her giggle a bit.
"I'm beautiful? That's something I never heard of." Vivien remarks curling her brows.
"How can I not? You're like an angel." Sam praises her and Vivien giggles.
"Certainly not. I'm a lake goddess and no I am not the new teacher in your campus. I'm here to visit a longtime friend of mine at the infirmary." She told him.
"Aaah you mean Merlin. That tiny little wizard nurse." Sam said.
"You knew?" Vivien ask curiously and Sam grins.
"Sure I do. He came by the store during the Magift tournament when he bought a yellow dress for that young lady from the ramshackle dorm who goes to our school." Sam informs her.
"Aah I see." Vivien understood.
"Yup. He's one heck of an old man and he's quite the wise cracking one of ya know what I mean." Sam implies making her deadpan.
"Yes...I known him as a devious little sneak for awhile yet he's the most friendly person on the planet that I know." Vivien said.
"However, I hate to be so rude but I do not have the time discuss this with you as I have serious business with Merlin right now." Vivien told him.
"Not to worry, I hate to hold back a young beautiful lady. He's at the infirmary right now." Sam informs her and the brunette water enchantress bows her head at him.
"Thank you." She said as she turns her heels to head straight to the infirmary, but...
"Hold it." Sam calls her out and Vivien turns her head to him with a curious look.
"Hm? Yes?" Vivien stares at him curiously when the shopkeeper strolls up to her and grabs her hand to plant a kiss on it surprising the lake enchantress brunette. He then lifts his head with a genuine amicable smile.
"Please feel free to come back to the campus if you want to visit my shop. It's open all day until nightfall. I'm willing to let you pick which item that you wished and I'll do anything to satisfy a divine customer like you." Sam reassures. Flattered by his kind offer, Vivien smiles sheepishly at the friendly charming shopkeeper.
"I will keep that in mind, Samuel. Thank you for the offer." Vivien thank him as he smiled back.
"Likewise, dear angel." Sam assures as Vivien giggles softly. As soon as Sam releases need hand, Vivien waves her hand at the friendly shopkeeper and the brunette lake goddess continues her stroll to the infirmary.
———————————
Later the infirmary, Merlin is chuckling when he watched the conversation between Vivien and Sam the whole time through the crystal ball.
"My my, looks like my dearest friend has found herself an admirer." Merlin jokes before forming a serious expression.
But...I wonder. Where is Dire? It's been awhile since Sundrop has arrived in our world. If anything, I would like to have a discussion with him after school.
Merlin thought before letting out a sigh and adjust his hood.
But not right because I have a sundrop to look after with. I hope Leona is doing ok with her. Let's see what she's been up to.
Merlin thought as he swipes the ball with his hand as a vision of Glory appears in the crystal ball where she got out of Leona's room donning a yellow strapless dress with a black leather vest and leather boots. She also has slathered yellow eyeshadow and black lipstick on her face that totally fits perfectly for the savanaclaw dorm giving off a bad girl vibe.
Once she's out, Merlin witnessed Jack approaching her making the tiny elderly man smiled warmly at them.
"So the wolf is escorting with Sundrop to the Octavinelle dorm eh?" Merlin ask as he witnessed Jack's face turned red and strokes his head admiring her Savanaclaw attire. The tiny wizard lays his head on to his hand with a dreamy smile.
"Well this is going to be interesting. Hehehe." Merlin chortles rubbing his hands together feeling the anticipation coming soon acting like a giddy fan girl. Suddenly she heard the door open and Merlin turns to see Vivien panting with a serious look. Curious yet surprised to see her arrived at the infirmary, Merlin turns his chair to face his longtime friend.
"Aah Vivien. I didn't expect you to come here. You usually appear in the nighttime so what business do you have with me?" Merlin asks curiously as Vivien shuts the door and waltz to the tiny wizard's desk.
"It's about Moonchild, Merlin. She's in grave danger. I saw a vision of her reuniting the Sundrop flower and Moonstone Opal together at the Coral Seas and it's not a pretty vision." Vivien informs.
"Grave danger?" Merlin tilts his head confusingly.
Three minutes later...
"Hmmm...So what you're saying is that Sundrop and her comrades will be facing the Leech twins at the Coral Sea but she ends up hurting one of the twins with the Moonstone Opal and that twin happens to be Jade?" Merlin ask curiously.
"Yes, but I don't believe it was unintentional." Vivien assures him and the tiny wizard nods his head.
"Right cuz Sundrop isn't the type of girl that would harm a fly intentionally." Merlin agrees.
"Her heart is pure Merlin. I can sense it through her aura. Which is why I am going to spend the rest of the day looking after my Moonchild in here whether you like it or not." Vivien told him making him sigh unsurprised when she said this to him.
"I am aware of that Vivien. My goodness, stubborn as I remembered, but I guess I don't have a choice. There's a chair behind you so please feel free to grab it." Merlin points out making the lake goddess grin sassily.
"Oh trust me Merlin, I do." Vivien sasses as she turns and strolls to grab the chair behind her and drags it to his desk. Then she sat down next to him and flips her chestnut hair with a cheeky grin.
"Shall we?" She asks sassily.
"Yes yes, it's about to start." Merlin nonchalantly said as both sorcerers watched Glory like she's their precious child intently from his crystal ball when they watched Glory and Jack walking downstairs while talking.
—————————
Back at the Savanaclaw dorm, Glory and Jack were discussing while walking downstairs.
"So you have a younger brother and sister huh?" Glory ask curiously.
"Yeah. They're athletic like me. They're able to play tag for 6 hours straight without getting tired." Jack told her making her giggle.
"Sounds like you have rowdy, but fun siblings. Maybe you could introduce me to them." Glory suggests with a kind grin. Jack blinks twice and turns away sheepishly.
"I guess...." He mutters looking a bit timid. As soon as they got downstairs, they stroll to the lounge where they meet up with Leona and Ruggie. Soon their ears perk up and Leona's tail starts wagging when they saw her attire.
"Huh not bad." Leona compliments.
"Whoa...All I need to say is damn girl." Ruggie compliments.
"Thanks guys." Glory grins and turns to Jack.
"We should get going now." Glory said as Jack nods and both turn their backs with Glory waving her hand at them.
"See ya later." Glory said as she and Jack left the lounge.
"Keep your distance away from Octo-punk and those eels, got it?" Leona reminds her.
"Gotcha." Glory replies giving him a thumbs up while leaving the dorm with Jack. Unbeknownst to her, Leona and Ruggie are staring at Glory as they watched her hips swaying left to right showing off her round curves that had face heat up. While heating up, Leona turns away with Ruggie notice his reaction and snickers.
"Enjoying the view Leona?" Ruggie teases.
"You're the one who's enjoying this." Leona retorts.
"Mmm don't know. Do I?" He innocently asks with a cheeky smirk making him 'tch'.
"Shut up." Leona hisses turning his head away out of annoyance. Grim on the other hand is sitting on the table with a deadpan look.
Great. I'm surrounded by wild pack of pervs. Speaking of pervs, I wonder how Ace and Deuce are doing? I hope Riddle isn't pissed about the video that has gone viral yesterday....
Grim thought curiously.
———————
Meanwhile at Heartslabyul dorm.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?!?!"
As soon as they heard their head dorm screaming, Trey bolts to the lounge along with Deuce and Ace.
"Riddle are you okay-! Aah!" Trey flinch.
"Oh jeez..." Ace mumbles.
"Dorm leader!" Deuce shrieks when the trio witnessed the wrath of Riddle holding on to Cater's phone glaring at Cater who is shivering from Riddle's igniting wrath.
"Riddle-kun, please! It's not what it looks like! I was watching it for a few minutes so can I have my phone back!?" Cater pleads.
"Not what it looks like? I just come back dealing with a bunch of rule breakers who were constantly running through the halls screaming for straight hours while transporting to the hall of mirrors and this is what I come back with?! I warned her to not go near Azul! No wonder why I kept bombarding with crowds of flags, flyers, and t-shirts of Gloriane this morning!" Riddle scolds. Cater averts his eyes keeping up his nonchalant smile trying not to freak out.
"Well...You gotta admit. Angel-chan's is quite popular with the boys so it's no surprise that this video has gone viral on Magicam." Cater informs.
"I mean...he's not wrong." Ace agrees.
"Riddle. What's going on here? What did Cater do?" Trey ask curiously.
"Oh you'll know just a minute Trey." Riddle assures as he turns to Ace and Deuce with a dead serious glare causing them to flinch.
"You two worked at the Mostro Lounge last night, correct? Don't tell me she lost a bet to Azul and was placed as a worker as well." Riddle ask with a stern tone. Deuce scratch his head with a sheepish look.
"Ummm well...She didn't really have the anemones on her head when the exams ended, but she did made a contract with him last night." Deuce informs.
"That sneaky bastard Azul tricked us into using us as bait to lure her into their domain, so Glor has no choice but used her own dorm as the collateral to make a bargain with him so she could break us free." Ace rants.
"...You did WHAT?" Riddle ask in a menacing tone scowling at them.
"Hey at least it's better than using herself as the collateral." Deuce said shrugging his shoulders.
"And that's when her performance has gone viral!" Cater chirps.
"Oh boy! I can't imagine the look on Vil's face when he realized that Angel-chan's popularity is up the charts!" He then let's out a chuckle.
"Though I have to admit. Angel-chan does looks sexy in that sparkly red dress last night." Cater said before forming a genuine grin.
"You could say it had me...fallen for her." Cater told them but with a serious and sincere tone that made the A-Deuce duo baffled and Trey grimace but kept his cool as he grips his hands to not show his jealousy. Riddle is also troubled by Cater's remarks struggling to know if what he said was a joke or not, but he shook his head and sighs crossing his arms.
"And where is she now?" Riddle ask with his usual strict tone trying to not allow his jealousy to peek through.
"She's staying at Savanaclaw for three days until she retrieves the picture from the memorial museum." Ace told him.
"Savanaclaw!?" Trey shrieks.
"Eeeeeh! No fair! I want her to stay at our dorm!~" Cater whines with a pout.
"Yeah. And she's heading to the Octavinelle dorm to meet with Azul for a tour around his dorm." Ace informs.
"A tour?" Trey ask with a puzzled look.
"If we all failed to retrieve the picture from the memorial museum at the Coral of Sea, then the ramshackle dorm will turned into the second Mostro Lounge and Glory will be transferring to the Octavinelle dorm to become Azul's bride." Deuce explains.
"And who's bright idea do you think that was to sign a deal with Azul?" Riddle curtly asks causing Ace and Deuce to flinch.
"Honestly. What she did was reckless, but it couldn't be helped. Deuce, Ace." Riddle instructs as he marches up to the A-Deuce duo and gave them his signature glare that scared the living sh#t out of them.
"Once breakfast is over, you and Deuce are going to escort her to the Coral of Sea and get that picture without fail. Do I made myself clear?" Riddle orders but Ace scoffs.
"Don't be stupid Riddle. Of course we're coming with her. Besides, we're the ones that dragged her into this mess in the first place." Ace bluntly said.
"Yeah...I'm such a fool for letting myself making a deal with Azul. For that..." Deuce then gets his game face on and pumps his fist to the air.
"I'll do whatever I can to protect her because she's my friend!" He proclaims.
"Trust us. I rather help Glor win the bet and have everyone's anemones removed than being Azul's slave!" Ace snaps.
"Mmm 'Friend' is an understatement don't you think?" Cater retorts.
"Eh?" Both men became puzzled when Cater said that as he chuckles.
"Ace-chan, Deuce-chan. Do you love Angel-chan?" Cater directly ask curiously causing them to widen their eyes.
"Eeh!?" They shrilled with flushed faces.
"Huh!?" Trey yells with a shock look.
"What does this have to do with the current situation?" Riddle ask with a confusing look.
"Just saying. They way you guys act and the way you guys express yourselves does give away the fact that you two deeply love Angel-chan." Cater points out.
"T-That's because we care for her obviously!" Deuce stutters while blushing.
"Why are ya bringing this up all of the sudden!?" Ace shouts while flustered.
"Having Merlin-sensei teasing me back in Crowley's office is bad enough. Now I have to deal with this?" Deuce mutters.
"Awww so you do like her. How cute~!" Cater coos while grinning innocently hiding the fact that he has developed feelings for Glory after watching her on live in Magicam last night.
"Oi Cater! What's gone into you!?" Ace shouts.
"Cater knock it off. We don't have time for this." Trey told him.
"I agree with Trey. Ace, Deuce, go with Rabbit once breakfast is over. Understood?" Riddle orders.
"Hai! Dorm leader!" Deuce complies without hesitation.
"That's what we're doing today, Head Dorm. Later." Ace curtly said as the duo left the lounge leaving Riddle, Trey, and Cater alone. Once they left, Riddle glance are Cater with a stern look.
"Mind telling me what the hell this is all about Cater?" Riddle ask with a suspicious look.
"Eh? You noticed?" Cater ask curiously acting innocent.
"How can I not? You're behaving strangely today and two weeks ago when Glory stopped by at our dorm the other day. So there's no need for you to hide the truth from me." Riddle said.
"Awww you caught me. Boo hoo." Cater sarcastically replies faking his tears causing Trey to shake his head at him.
"Just kid! I'm not that surprised since you have feelings for MY Angel-chan." Cater told him while keeping his pure smile on tact yet this ticks Riddle off for some reason when he grips his fists worrying Trey.
"Yours? You got some nerve talking to your dorm leader like that Cater." Riddle barks with a serious expression.
"Riddle-!"
"Oh? Did I struck a nerve? Well that makes sense since you, Riddle Rosehearts, have feelings for Angel-chan." Cater sneers with an innocent smile.
"But since you won't admit it, I might as well take Angel-chan on date once she's freed the anemone students." Cater provoked worrying Trey even more.
"Oi Cater. Don't egg him on-!"
"Speaking of which. You love Angel-chan too right Trey?" Cater ask curiously making him flinch.
"Shh! Stop! Don't say that in front of Riddle! He'll get mad!" Trey whispers to him with a panic look.
"I won't." Riddle assures cutting him off surprising Trey as the red haired dorm leader turns his head to his childhood friend.
"More importantly, I want you to be honest with me Trey. Do you love Gloriane?" Riddle ask curiously with dead serious silver eyes. Trey froze for a second before averting his gold orbs staying silent for a bit.
"...I'm sorry Riddle. It's something that I can't tell you." Trey said. Riddle squints his eyes skeptically before letting out a sigh not wanting to pressure his childhood friend and turns his back.
"Very well then. If you don't feel comfortable of telling than that's fine, I'm willing to give you time for yourself, but please don't overthink this throughout the rest of the day, Trey." Riddle advises and the vice dorm nods with an awkward expression.
"Yes Riddle." He complies. Riddle then glance at Cater with a strict look.
"And Cater, be sure to be careful what you said or it's off your head. Got it?" He sternly reminds him. Cater shrugs and grins purely at him.
"Whatever you say Riddle-kun." He casually replies with a chill grin as Cater turns his back and walk towards the door leaving the dubious Riddle staring at him for a minute until he stops.
"Oh and one more thing before I leave Riddle-kun." Cater then turns his head to Riddle with a grin that is written with competition.
"I wouldn't bottle up your emotions if I were you. If so, the. I'll take Angel-chan for myself." Cater proclaims causing both Trey and Riddle to grimace where they clench their hands tight. Cater then turns his head away and left the lounge with a triumphant smile.
Once he left, Riddle sighs rubbing his temple and walks back to his desk.
"Trey. Prepare for me some tea. I have lots of work to do." He politely requests with Trey nods sheepishly with a tint blush.
"Right..." He replies as he turns away and left the room to get some tea while flustered by what just happened leaving nerve-wrecking Riddle alone.
My goodness. This morning has gone exhausting very quick.
Riddle thought before shaking his head.
"Better prepare for work." He mutters as he pulls out his pen and starts writing while trying to maintain the day without the thought of Cater's words clouding his mind.
———————
Once Jack and Glory teleport through the mirror, both of them became stunned when there are crowd of boys holding up flyers, signs, and wearing t-shirts of Glory. Most boys are from Pomefiore, but a few students Heartslabyul and Octavinelle loitering in the hall of mirrors as well.
"Jeez. What is up with the weird getup?" Jack mutters looking puzzled.
"Hmm I wonder why?" Glory sarcastically ask with a deadpan look while students are mumbling and chattering.
"Damnit! I was hoping I would get an autograph from Glory herself!" The Pomefiore resident whines.
"I know right? Gloriane looked so gorgeous in that sparkly red dress last night." The second Pomefiore student praises.
"Jeez! Those twins are vicious!" The third Pomefiore resident shrieks.
"Oh you think that vicious? One time Floyd squeezed some guy out for lying to Azul about not following their agreement the other day." The Octavinelle resident explains.
"Scary!! I wouldn't go near that guy! He scared the living crap out of me!" The second Octavinelle resident yelps.
"Same here! I wouldn't want to meet face to face with that eel bastard!" The fourth Pomefiore resident agrees.
Same here man, same here.
Glory thought with a blank look.
"Matter of fact, what are the Leech twins doing at the ramshackle dorm?" The Heartslabyul ask curiously.
"That's what I thought when I knocked her dorm, but they just appear out of nowhere!" The second Heartslabyul resident yelps.
"Do you think she and the twins spend the night together?" The third Heartslabyul resident assumes.
Wait what?
Glory widen his eyes when she heard this.
"Tch. Ridiculous." Jack curtly retorts folding his arms unimpressed by what he's hearing.
"If they did, then they're lucky bastards!" The third Octavinelle resident complains causing her to grimace and silently gagged when they guessed and assume something so disgusting or nonsensical.
Gross! Why would I spend the night with those sketchy twins that almost kidnapped me!?
Glory thought frowning when they assume things about her.
"But hey at least I get a great close up at Glory last night!" The fourth Octavinelle resident chirps.
"Haha yeah! I even record this from last night!" The fifth Pomefiore resident and that made Glory shook.
"...What?" She utters frozen in shock before furrowing her brows at the fifth Pomefiore resident.
"Oh yeah! I seen it from Magicam last night! And may I say, she looks alluring!" The sixth Pomefiore resident glees.
"Ikr? She and Vil would definitely make a power couple if Glory were to transfer to Pomefiore!" The fifth Pomefiore resident chirps making Glory and Jack completely deadpan at this point.
"Seriously?" Jack mutters with a look of disbelief.
Great. They're shipping me with that Jeffree Star wannabe who is going to kill me today.
Glory thought pinching the bridge of her nose.
"No way! She would definitely be better if she were to transfer to Heartslabyul dorm. I would admire her everyday!" The third Heartslabyul resident retorts.
Oh come on.
Jack and Glory thought in disbelief.
"Nah I think I heard that she'll be transferring to Octavinelle. Besides, I wanna hear her lovely voice every day and all-!"
"Hey look! It's our goddess!" The second Heartslabyul resident shouts as all of the boys turn their heads and became head over heels for their beautiful school goddess.
"It's our sweet and lustrous goddess is here!!" The trio of Heartslabyul residents gasps.
"Our angelic and bright siren!!" The trio of Octavinelle residents praises.
"Our beautiful and passionate songbird!!" The six Pomefiore residents marvels.
Surrounded by the abundant of boys, Jack and Glory sweat drops from the attention they received.
"What ever happened to Octavinelle and Pomefiore being scared of ya, Wildcat?" Jack mumbles.
"I have no idea, but we should get going now." Glory mutters as she grabs Jack's wrist and drags him out.
"Aah! Our goddess!" The third Heartslabyul resident gasps.
"Don't let our siren get away!" The first Octavinelle resident orders.
"Come back Songbird!" The Pomefiore residents exclaims where they fan boys chased after Glory and Jack through the hall of mirrors.
——————
Later at the infirmary, Merlin and Vivien we're sitting at Merlin's desk staring at the crystal ball with blank looks when they watched Glory and Jack getting chased by a bunch of fan boys.
"I told you something like this would happened." Vivien reminds him while holding a box of blueberry juice in her hand.
"Obviously." Merlin casually agrees as he opens a can of Diet Coke.
"But I am a hundred percent sure that Sundrop and Howl will pull this off together once they arrived at Octavinelle." Merlin theorizes.
"I believe you are indeed correct Merlin." Vivien agrees as she takes a sip of her blueberry juice and puts it down on the desk.
"But I predict that a ship may form during their time there and may I say, things are about to get juicy~." Vivien coos with a slight sly smirk making Merlin smirking back.
"Oh ohhh even better~. We might as well sit back and watch the show that unfolds in front of us then." Merlin suggests and Vivien giggles softly.
"And sit back we shall, Merlin." Vivien agrees as Merlin passes a box of jelly filled donuts and Boston cream donuts towards the brunette lake goddess.
"Boston cream donut?" Merlin requests making her smiled fondly at the short elderly nurse.
"Now you're speaking my language." Vivien replies as she takes one cream filled donut and Merlin one jelly filled donut as the duo sit back and enjoy the show.
