As Lucy excitedly ran off to get something from her room, Kenzie couldn't help but grin. Seemed like the little princess was being agreeable today. Any remaining worries she had about Stella and Lucy not getting along were gone, although she can't say she wasn't just a tiny bit disappointed. Sometimes she liked it when Lucy was being a big brat. It was a lot of fun to watch, especially if Cody was around to make things more entertaining.
"Isn't that great?" she turned to Stella, smiling at her even though she knew she wouldn't see. Stella's superpowers probably allowed her to feel the emotions of people around her anyway. "Your plan was perfect! Now she won't be scared of you." She gave her a congratulatory pat on the back before realizing, and quickly apologized afterward. Crappity crap. It was really hard trying not touch people when every fiber of her being screamed to do it.
Luckily, Lucy came back not long after with a plastic tiara now adorning her head, distracting her from her worries. Kenzie laughed at the sight of the girl. Of course she'd go with the Princess game.
She took the crown from Lucy and put it atop her head with flourish. "Royal subjects," she stood up and beckoned at the two sitting before her, a more majestic lilt in her voice. Just an FYI, Kenzie tended to get into roles a little too easily. It took her a little longer to actually decide on her command, but as she hummed the Jeopardy theme song to herself, an idea struck her. She looked at her black guitar case on the couch, and smirked.
"Your queen wants to hold a Disney concert, and she needs backups."
She flashed Lucy a pointed look, as if challenging her to break the rules of her own game. She knew the girl was shy about her singing, but she was also a bit prideful. Lucy definitely wouldn't back out, so Kenzie thought this was a perfectly good time to try and get her past her reluctance to sing. After all, everyone should sing for fun! Worrying about sounding good shouldn't be a thing. At all.
Kenzie grabbed the guitar from the couch and slung it across her back again. "Follow me, peasants. To the courtyard!" She walked across the living room and made her way to the balcony—it was preferred way of entering and exiting, as Stella could attest to, because it was ten times faster than going through the hallways.

Let's get things straight: Mackenzie Cole isn't the sharpest crayon in the box. She knows that, her friends know that, anyone who talks to her for more than five minutes know that. But she does pick up on things; it might take her a little longer than usual, but like that one slow ass turtle in that story with the rabbit, she gets there eventually. Kenzie realizing that Stella had a thing about being touched happened about three weeks after moving in, just a couple weeks before she came across another big revelation (the revelation… you know, the one where her eyes don't work?). After getting rejected every time she offered a hug, and feeling her flinch when she so much as gave her a friendly pat on the back, it just clicked.
Kenzie misdiagnosed it as germaphobia, or whatever that was called. It made sense—have you seen her room? It was always clean and sparkly. After finding out, Kenzie took the time to wash her hands and use hand sanitizer every time she got close to her flatmate. She would deliberately do it when she was close enough to see, so she had solid proof that she was germless. But even that didn't work. Stella still seemed to have a problem with touching.
It wasn't until she figured out she was blind that she made up another theory: blind -> can't see -> can't see who's touching her -> scared it might be some weirdo. Kenzie thought for sure that if she'd announce it to Stella beforehand, there wouldn't be any problems. But lo and behold, she was wrong. Again. Guilt washed over her as she watched the dark haired girl get flustered after she'd forcibly dragged her to Lucy.
Shitshitshit. She just face-planted on the floor!
Kenzie was quick to react, hand already outstretched to help her up, but she retracted it as soon as she realized what she was doing. No more touching, she had to remind herself. She was about to apologize when Stella laughed. It was little weird-sounding, but still, she laughed. Kenzie practically melted with relief. So she didn't make her uncomfortable after all.
Hold up, was she just doing a clown act? Kenzie turned to look at Lucy, who was giggling at Stella's antics, and laughed with her. Stella was a genius! She wasn't really sure what to do to make Lucy not afraid of Stella anymore, but her pretend clumsiness worked like a charm. Lucy even seemed like she was already starting to like Stella. At the very least, it seemed like she was open to letting her play with them.
"Kenzie, Kenzie, let's do something! Let's play!"
"As you wish," Kenzie replied, bowing theatrically. "So what does the Princess feel like playing today?"

Kaz will be with the Keyblade Wielders as well, though I'm thinking she can be lured to the dark side with shiny new tech. :p
Speaking of factions, do we have a breakdown of who's in which? I'm not really sure which characters are with the Dark Apprentices.
And looking forward to it, Liri. :D
:OOOO
I think I would like school more if they didn't keep cutting all the classes I want. :<

Mine starts in a week and it makes me sad.

Kenzie laughed as she let Lucy lead her through her apartment, glad that the girl was in high spirits. Lucy was really smart, so she probably understood that Cody has to work, but Kenzie knew that didn't mean she wouldn't be lonely from time to time. When she first got to know her neighbors, she didn't even think that the spoiled little princess could last a minute without Cody by her side. She had expected a full tantrum every time Cody had to leave for work, but there never was one.
"Looking pretty as usual, aren't you?" Kenzie quipped, smiling as Lucy beckoned to the seat next to hers.
There was a little pang in her heart when she saw Lucy's breakfast setup for one—what the hell was that all about?—but she quickly brushed it off as indigestion. Instead, she oohed in marvel and returned her wide grin, genuinely amused at the girl's adorable preening. "It's like we're at Cody's restaurant," she said as she set down her bowl on the coffee table. She plopped down on the couch gingerly and sat as properly as she could, back straight and legs crossed. "I guess that means we have to eat all fancy."
Kenzie made a show of sticking out her pinky as she took a spoonful of cereal, then grabbed one of the napkins on the table to wipe her mouth. "Was that fancy enough, Princess?" she asked with a silly British accent.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by the totally unexpected sound of Stella's voice. "Looks like you're popular today," she told Lucy, playfully bopping her on the nose. "I'll get her, go and finish your fancy breakfast."
Kenzie made her way to Lucy's front door and opened it for Stella, grinning excitedly. Her flatmate didn't usually bother joining her when she played with Lucy. "Miss me already, Stella?" she joked. She was about the pull her along, but she remembered that she was going to start her new 'announce-everything-so-Stella-won't-get-mad' tactic. Kenzie hoped this would work, because sometimes she really needs a hug and it makes her sad that her roommate doesn't like to give them.
"I'm gonna grab your hands, okay?" she warned, although she didn't really wait for her consent before doing it. Before dragging her to where Lucy was she whispered an aside. "I think Lucy's scared of you, and I want her to see you're not scary… well, most of the time." Kenzie laughed at her little jibe, but she really was scared of her flatmate sometimes. She was 109% sure Stella had superpowers (how else could she see so well when she's blind?!), and sometimes she was worried Stella will use them against her if she pissed her off.
With all that said, Kenzie finally led Stella to the living room and presented her to Lucy in an exaggerated manner. "Stella was lonely 'cause I left her by herself. Can she join us here?"

Alright then, I'll add the details for the Trinity Limit later. My CS should be complete now. :D
