Ashling sighed, resting her head back against the stone wall. She was sitting in the window of the girls dorm looking out across the grounds. The pale light of the almost full moon created long shadows of the trees that dance across the grass. In the late hour, nothing stirred, not inside the dorm or out in the night. The room was quiet, save for the occasional snore or someone mumbling in their sleep. It was too quiet for Ashling. She hated being cooped up on nights like tonight. She glanced around the room, making sure everyone was for sure asleep before she jumping down from the window. Quietly she made her way over to her dresser, her bear feet padding softly on the wood floor, and pulled on a hoodie, a pair of jeans, s pair of warm socks and a sturdy pair of boots from her stash of cloths she kept for when she didn't feel like wearing the school uniform. Not wanting to spend a lot of time putting her hair back in a braid, she pulled it back into a messy pony tail, and turned to leave the room. She passed quietly through the room, not wanting to wake any of the other girls, until a hunched figure in the corner caught her eye. She looked. There was Veralidane...passed out on top of her notes. Ashling rolled her eyes, taking a step closer to pick up one of the note cards that had fallen on the floor. Reading it, she saw that the note were for their none magical history class. They didn't have an exam in that class till next week. Why was she studying like it was tomorrow. Ashling sighed and shook her head sadly as she looked at the sleeping girl. 'This girl needs to learn how to have fun...' she thought setting the note card down on the foot of her bed. An idea struck her, and she moved closer to her with a mischievous grin on her face. "Hey Val." she whispered, shaking her shoulder. Veralidane jumped, her eyes snapping open. "The Boston Tea Party!" she said wildly, looking around confused. Ashling shushed her, fearing that someone would wake up because of her out burst. Veralidane looked at Ashling and groaned. "Ashling, what do you want. It's late. Go back to bed." she said, flopping back down on her bed. "Common, get up." Ashling said, tossing a jacket at her. "Why?" Veralidane asked, eyeing Ashling cautiously "We're going on an adventure." Ashling said with a sly grin. Outfit! Check it out!

Nikita had her tablet in her lap, tapping out a quick addition to the things she had found in her wanderings. She was going to be the first to get the full and comprehensive view of the school, each painting and corridor, not a stone left un-turned. She was going to confirm why the school had lost the schools of magic that they did. Why some places were cut off from students, and what they contained. "Boston Tea Party!" Nikita's head snapped up. What in the hell? Time magic must be getting into someone's head, after all there were so many more interesting times to dream about, French Revolution, Egypt, King Aurther, Dinosaurs, The Future. Why would anyone dream of people throwing tea in a river? Her eyes focused beyond the soft light of her tablet seeing Ashing leaning over Val's bed, waking her up. "adventure" and that's all Nikita needed to slip out of bed and wander over quietly. "Planing on going somewhere without me?" She was dressed still, having jumped from wandering to nap to working on here tablet. unable to work up the energy to get dressed. Outfit!

In her half-asleep-half-panicked stupor, Veralidane could barely focus on Ashling mentioning adventure and Nikita piping in. She shook her head to clear it.
"What? What's going on?" She looked up at Ashling to see a distinct smirk on her face that she got whenever she was trying to make Veralidane do something 'fun' or 'interesting,' but all it really meant was less time studying. "What are we doing this time?"
"Don't get too excited there," Ashling said, grabbing Veralidane's wrist and pulling her off of the bed. "Adventure! You! Me! Nikita!"
"Might as well grab Pip, too," Veralidane mumbled sarcastically under her breath.
"Yeah, Pip, too!" A wide grin spread across Ashling's face, and Nikita joined in. Between the two of them, Veralidane had no choice but to give in and break a few rules with them tonight. They would just have to be careful not to get caught...

"Shhh," Ashling hissed, looking over at one of the other girls who had rolled over in her sleep. "Do you want to wake up the whole school?" Nikita giggled and clapped a hand over her mouth. Ashling sighed and shock her head slightly. 'Like a little puppy..." she thought as she crossed to the door on the other side of the door. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw Nikita tugging on Val's arm. She looked longingly back at her notes before reluctantly following after Nikita.
Ashling held up her hand, signaling for them to wait for a moment, then stuck her head out of the door. The hall outside was dark and quiet, for the moment. She knew it wouldn't be long before one of the teachers or someone else came by. 'Now or never...'
She motioned for the others to follow her, and darted out into the hall. About half way down the hall there was a tree that grew close enough to the window for someone to climb down it. Ashling opened the window and hoped on the windowsill.
"Wait...you're not going to climb down that...are you?" Veralidane asked, glancing between Ashling and the tree.
"Yeah," Ashling said mater-a-factly, grabbing a branch and climbing out into the tree. A cool night breeze rustled the leaves in the tree. Ashling took a deep breath, breathing in the sent of the leaves, grass and dirt. Just the sent was enough to make her feel alive.
Her peaceful moment was broken when she heard a scuffle behind her. Nikita was sitting on the windowsill tugging Veralidane's arm, trying to get her to climb out onto the tree. Veralidane had squirmed out of Nikita's grip, leaving Nikita tetering on the edge of the window. As if in slow motion, she fell down out of the window.
"Nikita!" Ashling shouted, reaching for her but missing. She grabbed the branch to keep herself from falling too. There was a flash of green light, and when Ashling looked down, Nikita was nestled in the middle of a very large pile of leaves. Ashling blinked several times, trying to make sense of what she was looking at.
"Umm...are you okay?" she called down to her. Nikita patted herself down, checking for any broken bones.
"Yup!" she called back. "That was fun! Can I do it again?" Ashling ignored her.
"Did you do that?" Veralidane asked Ashling.
"No freaking clue," ashling said shrugging. "I grabbed the branch, and there was green light, and then there was a pile of leaves. I'm not entirely sure what caused it."
"Hmm..." Verlidane mused. Ashling could tell that her brain was kicking into over gear, and she really didn't want to sit around and wait for her to come up with some kind of explanation.
"You gonna come or not?" Ashling asked, starting to climb down the tree. Veralidane hesitated, looking down at the pile of leaves Nikita was now playing in. "It's safe. I promise."
"You see you say that, but Nikita fell already." Veralidane pointed out.
"That's because she was tugging on you." Ashling said, reaching the bottom. "Just take it slow, you'll be alright."
"...you're not gonna let me go back to bed...are you?" Veralidane asked sadly.
"Think about it, and I'll climb up that tree so fast and drag you down so fast you wont know what hit you." Nikita called up to her.
"Yeah...and have you fall on your butt again..." Ashling commented under her breath. Nikita heard her and paused a moment.
"Ashling will drag you down." she corrected herself. Ashling facepalmed as she heard Veralidane sigh and start climbing down the tree. She had almost made it to the bottom when she lost her footing and slipped.
"I'll catch you!" Nikita called, rushing over to catch the falling girl. She didn't brace herself well enough and as Veralidane fell into her arms, she lost her balance and went toppling back into Ashling. Ashling hadn't been expecting two girls to come crashing into her, and fell down in the grass.
All three of them lay there for a moment in messy tangle of limbs. "Get off," Ashling grunted, pushing them off her. She managed to get out from under neath them, and adjusted her pony tail. "Everyone in one piece?"
"I think so..." Veralidane said rubbing her butt.
"Well then, lets go get Pip." Ashling got up and led the way across the lawn towards the teachers room, and Pippa's dorm.
Her window was easy to find. It was the only one that had decorations in it. Ashling snickered as she looked up at a giant cardboard cut out of Darth Vader. She stooped down and grabbed a hand full of pebbles and started throwing them at the window.
(Holy novel Batman.... O.O sorry I got into a grove. I'll be quiet now ^^')

Pippin was sitting on his bed, reading about Colin Greengrove, one of the most powerful Lifes in history, when there was a tapping on his window. Who was that, at this hour? Time to put the book down and sigh dramatically. He went to the window, forgetting that he was shirtless and in his plaid green pajama pants with his hair all messed up, and threw it open. "What?" He called down, putting his hands on the sill and leaning out. Outfit: Clicky!!

Ashling dropped the rest of the pebbles and gaped up at the young man in the window. 'Isn't this Pippa's room?' she thought. It felt like her brain was jamming.
"Ummm...is Pippa there?" she called up to him. "We got the right room, right?" she added to the girls standing next to her.

Pippin smiled to himself. He had forgotten that they had only seen him as Pippa so far. "Yes, you got the right room," he said, enjoying the moment. "Well...um...can we talk to her?" "You already are," he answered back. Ashling just gaped at him. He rolled his eyes. "Hang on, I'll come down and explain. At this rate we'll wake up all the teachers, and where would we be then?" He ducked back inside and closed the window, letting them stew outside for a little bit while he put on jeans and an Iron Man tshirt and sneakers before going outside to meet them. "Now, where were we?" Ashling looked around, confused. "Where's Pippa?" Dang. This was always so hard to explain. "Well, I'm Pippa," he said. "But I'm also Pippin." He pulled his wallet out of his back pocket and showed them his two school IDs, one for Pippa and one for Pippin. "I'm genderfluid." Outfit: Tshirt

Veralidane watched, fascinated by this situation, but also amused by Ashling's confusion. Who knew? Pip was genderfluid. That was pretty cool. Veralidane had briefly read about there being more gender options than just two, but she would have to look into it more later. Meanwhile, she was sure that--Pippin, was it?-- Pippin would probably not appreciate being treated like a science project. Veralidane opened her mouth to speak, but Nikita spoke first.
"Whoa!" Nikita was practically jumping up and down. "That's so awesome! This is totally going in my blog. That must be why you don't live in the dormitories. Here, I was thinking that your wizarding powers were already blossoming, and it was going to be a danger to other students. Not that you're dangerous. Now I'm starting to wonder if they would even let someone that dangerous at the school. I mean, they banned two schools of magic; why wouldn't they ban a singular student if it was too--"
Veralidane cleared her throat. Nikita was rambling. It was time to move forward with the situation.
"Excellent," she said, addressing Pippin. "Sometimes you're female. Pippa, right? And sometimes you're male. Pippin. But you're still the same friend. I would introduce myself, but you already know me, and I already know and accept you." She smiled warmly at Pippin, and he gave her a small grin.
"Onward to adventure, then?" Pippin asked.

Pippin, Nikita and Veralidane all moved off towards the forest, leaving Ashling standing there gaping for a moment. She couldn't really wrap her head around the information the was just handed to her. She had heard of people being gender fluid before, she had just never met anyone like that before. She watched him for a moment. He seemed to notice and turned to look at her.
"You gonna stand there drooling, or are we gonna go?" he asked.
"What?" Ashling asked absentmindedly, before she realized what he had said. "D-drooling? I wasn't drooling,"
Pippin snickered. "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that."
"Pfft," Ashling scoffed walking past him. "Don't flatter yourself." She could hear Nikita giggling behind her, and tried to ignore her. She hated to admit it, he was very good looking. Made sense because Pippa was very pretty too. She sighed and pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind as she entered the forest.

Pippin waited patiently while everybody got over the shock and babbling. He was used to it by now. Much as he liked being in the spotlight, he couldn't really hide that he was genderfluid. That was something that wallflowers could do, not blossoming leaders. All of the "we still accept you" stuff was mildly annoying to him. He could figure it out himself. If someone still hung out with him after figuring it out, cool. Acceptance. If not, whatever. No need to announce it to the world. But he just shrugged it off. No need to fuss over something that was about as impactful as a gnat.
"Onward to adventure then?" He asked, trying to not roll his eyes and failing miserably. It was all just so stupid. He started walking away. Not that he knew where they were going in the first place, but he just wanted to get moving before everybody got all gushy and weird.
Everyone but Ashling followed him. He turned back to he. "You gonna stand there drooling, or are we gonna go?"
"What?" Ashling obviously wasn't paying full attention. "D-drooling? I wasn't drooling,"
Pippin snickered. "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that."
"Pfft," Ashling scoffed walking past him. "Don't flatter yourself."
Pippin just smirked and kept moving, following Ashling. He would have to look into this little development at a later date. If nothing else, it could be useful to know that she had a crush on him. Also, he was attractive and she wasn't too bad looking herself. Pippin filed that under "later" and returned to reality. "So where, may I ask, are we going? Or is this just general wandering around in the darkness."

IT'S LOVE
First Ash got the pissy part of herself out while I was playing in the leaves, I mean who knew that people could summon leaf piles at will? Well, it is a magic school, so maybe it's not so strange. Then again Ash is a type of tree, and maybe she just intant told the tree what she wanted and the tree magicked up some leaves to save me. Do trees even have magic?
And then the pebbles, Like some stupid romantic comedy. SHE THREW THE PEBBLES! And the handsome boy opened the window, but it wasn't just any boy. It was Pip! like pretty pink dress Pip, but actually good looking guy Pip. So I guess that means that Pip is just the pretty one, Really pretty. Ash Noticed tho. Adventure is good and all that, but Ash just stared at Pip, like she couldn't understand how one pretty could be another pretty. But it's all pretty.
Keep your mouth shut Nikita, no need for romance talk on a ADVENTURE!
"So where, may I ask, are we going? or is this just general wandering around in the darkness." That's a good question, I mean we could go anywhere, so many secret places.
Nikita pulled out her phone and started to look up secret places, scrolling through ideas and bouncing forum posts, looking for a good one, humming some song to herself. "We could so searching for something secret, or deadly, there's so many paths to take."
She bounced in time with her song, continuing to scroll. "There's so much to look for."
