Ditzy struggled not to giggle in delight as Shard walked next to her, looking in deep thought. 'I still can't believe this is happening, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.' She shook her head slightly. 'Now don't you rush into things Ditzy, let whatever this is take its course, no scheming, no planning, just let things take their time. Thanks for the advice mom, I never thought it would come in handy.'

"You ok there Ditzy?" Shard asked, breaking her out of her inner thoughts. She noticed that she was just staring at a wall with Shard looking at her with a raised brow. She chuckled nervously.

"Oh, I'm fine, just deep in thought is all." Smiling sheepishly she turned and led him down the next hallway. "Ok, this hallway holds the schools computer labs and just down this hall here is the gym." Shard nodded and drew on a piece of paper. "Are you mapping the school?" Ditzy asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I might as well have a map in case I get lost or something." Ditzy reached into her pocket and pulled out her own piece of paper.

"I mapped the school too." Shard's eyes widened before his expression turned to a soft, caring one.

"Well, looks like great minds think alike." Ditzy contained her giggles and continued on with the tour.

"Here is the history, maths and English classrooms, the stairs to the library in the school dome is at the end." Mapping those details down Shard nodded for her to continue onwards.

"Hey Ditzy, mind if I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"What's your opinion on... Anime?" Ditzy stopped in her tracks and looked to him with a wide smile.

"I... Love... Anime." Shards smile widened.

"Me too, what's your favourite?"

"Tie between Code Geass and One Piece, how about you?" Shard just placed his hands on her shoulders.

"I absolutely adore those two shows." Both just stared at each other with goofy grins. "I think you and I are gonna get along just fine Ditzy, just fine."

"I think so too." Both remained like this until they heard the school bell ring. "Oh, we should get moving. I have a test today that I want to get over with so we should hurry things along." Shard nodded and they both continued walking. Ditzy continued to point out the rooms and locations as Shard jotted them down on his map. They began talking about various anime and games they had played until they came across two huge jocks.

"Hey there, Derpy." One said in an obvious bullying tone, causing Shard to growl slightly. "Who's this pip squeak?" He asked while poking Shard in the chest.

'Did he seriously, just call Ditzy Derpy!? And me a pip squeak!?' Shard swatted his hand away. "Who I am is none of your business, move along and don't call Ditzy by that name." He demanded with a stern glare.

"Who the hell are you to tell us what to do twerp?"

"Ohhhohohoho is this really the approach you're going with? You are literally the freaking definition of jock stereotypes." The biggest one growled.

"What did you just say?!" The boy clenched his fist.

"Please, don't fight them Shard." Pleaded Ditzy. Looking to his new friend he sighed.

"Alright, but they better stay away from you. You two got that?" He snapped turning back to the token bully characters.

"Oh so you're takin orders from little retard here are you?" Ditzy began to tear up. She stopped as she thought she heard glass shattering. Looking to Shard she saw his eye was twitching while he slowly lowered his head while glaring at the two.

"What... Did you... Just call her?!" Ditzy noticed some sort of handle sticking out the back of Shards jacket.

"What did you not hear me? I said, she's a little retard!" Time Turner walked down the hallway and noticed the two jocks hassling Ditzy. He was about to run to her aid when he say Shard standing up to them.

"Take, that, back." Shard demanded with a voice so cold it could create ice cubes in someone's drink.

"Why should I?" Shard looked up and saw the light above the, was flickering on and off. "Retard, retard, retard. I ain't gonna take something back that's true." Shard slowly moved his hand to the back of his neck and grabbed the handle that was sticking out. As the light above them suddenly went out, temporarily blinding the jocks Shard shot between them. As the lights went back on they heard a clang of some sort of metal. Looking behind them they saw Shard standing facing away from them

"You should have taken it back." He snapped his fingers and the sports gear they were wearing fell into pieces, leaving them in their vests and heart underwear. Multiple students around them pointed and laughed, the jocks running away in embarrassment. "Now think about what you've done."

Ditzy and Turner just looked at him in utter shock, a huge blush appearing on the girls face as she smiled. 'So awesome.'

'Does... Does that boy have a sword in his jacket?' Turner shook his head.

"Shard that was amazing, how'd you do something like that?" Ditzy asked running up to him. He pointed to the back of his jacket.

"I always carry a sword with me no matter how small, been training in Kenjutsu for a few years now." Ditzy just raised a brow.

"Does the Principle know about that?"

"She does, my father explained it to her and they came to an agreement, I am only to bring a small blade in and keep it hidden. It's not like I'm gonna mindlessly go around slashing people is it?" Ditzy just looked at him dreamily.

Seal the deal Ditzy! He's perfect!' Clearing her throat she looked at him with a soft smile and blush. "Hey Shard, do you maybe, wanna hang out over the weekend?" Shard put a finger to his chin in thought.

"I might be helping my dad move the furniture into the house, but then again mom did want me to get used to the area so I'm game for it." Ditzy smiled and hugged him. 'Wow... She's uh, got some strength on her.'

Turner looked from one to the other and smiled knowingly. "Ah, so that's it. I better keep an eye on these two, wouldn't want anything happening to them."

Author's Notes:

Well it seems that things are gonna start getting serious from here on in.

By the way, I was wondering, would I need to ask for permission to use other OCs from the PoME group? I'm wanting Shard to make a few friends with them
