[b][color=800000]"All right, suitcase packed, room unnecessarily tidy, face looking like I was actually bothered to look good today... Yep, totally sorted![/color][/b]

The girl would proceed to rush down the stairs with a large suitcase in hand and a broad sword in the other, showing little signs of exhaustions. Thankfully, she wasn't foolish enough to repeat her usual morning routine of falling down the stairs to get some breakfast. Or get something 'practical' done. But this wasn't any ordinary day. Drew was finally going to experience her first day at AEIOU Academy. 

A rush of excitment and nervousness churned in her stomach as she heard the long awaited knock on the door, just in the knick of time as well. With half a boot on, her father came and tapped her on the shoulder, clearly concerned for his daughter's well being. Her mother would also pop her head around from the living room door.

"Okay... You're all set and ready to go, right?"[/b] her father asked in a shaky voice.

[color=800000][b]"Yup!"[/b][/color]

[b]"Totally and absolutely sure?"[/b]

[color=800000][b]"Yup."[/b][/color]

[b]"You haven't forgotten anything, have you?"[/b]

With a sigh, Drew reached for the doorknob. [color=800000][b]"C'mon dad, you shouldn't really be [i]too[/i] concerned about me, y'know? Even I'm capable of kicking a little butt once in a while."[/b][/color]

[b]"Precisely what he's worried about,"[/b] her mother called out. [b]"The fact that you [i]are[/i] capable of kicking a little butt. I know getting angry over the tiniest of things isn't like you at all, but it's mainly just a matter of 'what if'. What [i]if[/i] my daughter happens to 'accidentally' stab someone because... well, because? I mean-"[/b]

Another knock could be heard from the other side.

[color=800000][b]"Jeez, you talk, like, way too much..." [/b][/color]Drew whined. However, before trecking out into the unpredictable future, the family would have one more group hug.

[b]"Just don't, y'know, get into fights and all that."[/b] her mother said.

[b]"She speaks the truth,"[/b] her father added. [b]"You're eighteen know, okay? Any reports about you playing poke with a sword won't look good once you graduate know, will it?"[/b]

With a nod and a goodbye, Drew swung the door open, inhaling a large amount of air. Exhaling at the sight of the woman's face, Drew some out.

[color=800000][b]"Uh, hey there! So, you're from AEIOU Academic, right? Name's Drew, if you didn't know already-"[/b][/color]

[b]"Drew, don't address this woman so casually like that! Where'd your manners run off to, huh?"[/b]

And that was the last Drew would her from her mother in a long while.
