Jaebi jolted forward and landed on top of Kemekin, and Veronique's eyes shot open. Moments like that happened very rarely, and she intended to take advantage of it. Veronique bolted out of her seat, camera in hand, and snapped a picture about three inches from Jaebi's face.
She blinked, then turned to the orange-haired thing beside her. "Who, exactly, are you? I do not recall you being on the roster for the trip."

Julien smiled at the tall, dark kinda intimidating and scary woman. "U-ummm, n-no , Ma'am." Julien's smile became very nervous. "I just wanted to say bye to my friends" he turned to Jaebi, "Why didn't you guys tell me you were going on a field trip? IS NINA LEAVING TOO??!! D:"

Veronique's eyes narrowed at the boy. "Well, make sure that you exit my bus as soon as you've finished your farewells," she said icily. "If you have not left by bus before I start driving, I will eject you through the window."

Jaebi, blinking from the camera flash, ears ringing from all the shrill voices. He rubbed his knuckles into his ear to stop the ringing and worked his jaw to try to pop his eardrum.
"No, Jules. Nina's not coming with us. She got kicked off the roster, remember?"

Julien smiled broadly at the icy woman. "That actually sounds kinda fun," he cackled to himself, "But I don't want to harm this 'bus' so I will be taking my leave. LATER GUYS, I HAVE A NINA-NOONA TO FIND AND ENTERTAIN!!" Julien bounded happily from the bus and climbed up a nearby tree.

Doucan saw the lean figure leap away from the bus just as she was boarding. She pulled her beanie down further over her ears and stepped up to where she could scan the seats. She spotted Natsu and stepped over her knees to take the window seat next to her.
'This one wonders what the chances of survival are, with the Headmistress at the wheel."

Hoshi jumped the steps in a single bound and crossed back into the bus, heading toward the seat in front of Kemekin. He heard the comment from somewhere beside him, and turned to the nearby girl.
"The survival rate is about one in ten, but that's what makes this fun," he replied, grinning. "Don't worry, it's usually the pedestrians that die."

"DOU-CHAN!!!" Natsu squealed excitedly as she drew her best friend into a hug.
She glaned at the teacher that spoke and giggled. "Oh and you would know from experience, Sir?"

Hoshi laughed. "Let's just say that it's a good thing Smoke insisted that Veronique-imposed injuries be covered in the employee health plan."
Hoshi glanced back at the headmistress out of the corner of his eye to make sure that she wasn't paying attention to him, then leaned forward and whispered, "If you see her with a new sports car, stay away. Veronique's hit Himmel with two Porches and a Ferrari in the process of a week."

Natsu's eyes widened to unnatural proportions. "oh . . . that's bad, she shouldn't do that." Natsu stared puzzled at the teacher, "and um . . who might you be, Sir? Have I seen you before?"

Hoshi chuckled. "I'm Professor Yogo, one of the English Literature and Composition teachers here," he announced. "I don't believe I've met either of you before. New students?"

Natsu nodded happily, a huge smile on her face. "Yes, Sir Yogo. I'm Natsuritcha, but you can call me Natsu. . ." she got a thoughtful look on her face, which consisted of pursed lips and her eyes wandering upward. "I actually think I'll be in your class next semester. Oh and this is Dou-chan!!" Natsu rubbed her face against Doucan's affectionately, she didn't care if her cheek went numb.

Dubhiarr danced her way out to the bus that would take them to Greece, happily absorbed in the music on her iPod -- at the moment it was Nightwish's song Last of the Wilds. She shoved her purpe duffel bag into the back of the bus, boogeying her way to the door with bagpipes blaring in her ears. It was ashame Nina couldn't come; she'd proably enjoy this.
Catching Kemekin's eye as she boarded the bus, she grinned and waved to him, heading over to sit by him.

"Well, it was nice to meet you both," he said. "I suppose we'll be seeing a fair bit of each other on the trip, provided we make it to our destination in one piece..." Hoshi caught sight of Ellie out of the corner of his eye and grinned broadly. "Though I wouldn't worry much, given we have a world class healer in our presence," he added, a bit more loudly.
Hoshi turned and grabbed the healer by the waist, spinning her in place as effectively as one could on a cramped bus. "Having fun?" he asked, positively chipper.

Ellie heard the comment, and smiled. Oh, I hear what you did there. Her smile turned quickly to laughter.
"Fun? Yes, loads of fun." She rested her forearms on Hoshi's shoulders and gave him a quick peck on the chin, ever mindful of watching students. And Veronique.

Vincent walked briskly toward the bus with Diana on one arm, his duffel bag in the other, and Ariel skipping along at his side. He tossed his bag into the back of the bus, humming along to the songs his iPod was shuffling through -- mostly the soundtracks of various musicals, interspersed with random other songs by such artists as Coldplay and Josh Groban.
Vincent turned up the volume on his iPod to block out the pathetic excuse for music that was blaring out of the bus, taking a seat close to where Hoshi and Ellie sat. He smiled at the two lovebirds and hooked an arm around Diana's waist, guiding her to a seat as Ariel moved away from them to find Jaebi.

Diana adjusted the shoulder of her pale yellow sundress as she walked onto the bus, looking around for a place to sit down; ah, there was an empty seat near Hoshi and Ellie, which Vincent seemed to have spotted as well. Diana sat contentedly next to Vincent and leaned against him as she sat down, smiling over at Hoshi and Ellie. Those two made such a sweet couple.
It's awfully crowded in here,[/color] she signed to them with a grin. And there are still people coming. Do you think we're all going to fit?[/color]

Hoshi laughed lightly, his arms wrapped around Ellie's middle. "I suppose we should find our seat before Veronique decides to see how fast the bus can go," he suggested quietly.
He pulled her over to the seat in front of Kemekin and took the window seat, leaving Ellie to the aisle in case of an emergency. And with Veronique's driving, he had no doubt there would be.
I think we'll be okay,[/i] Hoshi signed back to Diana. We only have a handful of students left, and there are still several seats. We'll just be nice and cushioned for when the headmistress decides to make up shortcuts instead of taking the road.

Aritha dragged a number of things across the courtyard toward the schoolbus. On one shoulder was a large toiletries bag, in black leather with very hot pink embroidery that she had done herself. There was another bag draped across her chest that held her clothing, and a large, deep emerald green suitcase in her hand. The other shoulder had a matching toiletries bag that was smaller than her own. In that hand was a large handful of shirt, and wearing that shirt was a barely conscious, sleepily protesting Greek teenager with curly blond and green hair.
She rapidly shoved all of the bags into the bus, still dragging Zephyros firmly by his collar. She looked at him firmly, pulling him close. “You are GOING to get on the bus after your farewells, is that clear? Or I will come out myself again and DRAG you on, and you and I won’t like that, will we?”

Zephyros stumbled blindly behind her, then woke fully when he saw Jason waiting. He waved rapidly, then made a soft yelp when Aritha pulled him close. He nodded rapidly, and bolted when she let go of him to tackle his boyfriend.
“I am going to miss you ALL WEEK,” he declared softly, hugging Jason close.

For a moment, she stood watching Zephyros, then Aritha dug her book out of her back and climbed aboard the bus. Her dark eyes searched the bus quickly, then she smiled brightly and came to sit by Rudeth.
“Hello,” she said simply, beaming at him. Unlike the best friend she had literally dragged here, she obviously was wide awake. Glancing outside quickly, she watched Zephyros closely. She was NOT going to let him stay in school and sulk. But that wasn’t a concern yet. She turned back to Rudeth, deciding to pay only as much attention to Zeph as it would take to get him on the bus. After that, he could be the adults’ problem.

"Bianca!" Rudeth beamed, pecking her on the cheek. "Excited for the trip?"
He peered around her at the blond boy and his boyfriend, then glanced back at his girlfriend. "He's having a hard time with the separation, I take it?" he asked, putting his arm around her shoulders. "What did you have to do to get him to come?"
Rudeth certainly understood not wanting to leave a significant other, but Zephyros was entirely inseparable from Jason. It would be good for him to spend a little time away, even if he didn't want to.

Euros managed to drag himself onto the bus and toss what few things he had bothered to bring somewhere in the back. He pat Zephyros on the back and maneuvered past him and Jason.
"Hel-lo my adorable younger sibling. Hello, sexy werewolf boyfriend."
He blew a kiss at Kemekin and Jaebi and collapsed onto a seat. "Oh go-oooods, why can't we go at a reasonable hour?" he whined. "It's not like we have to worry about travel time, someone can just- schpoofy teleporty us there."

Aritha wrinkled her nose. "Yes he is. I had to pack for him, and literally drag him from his dorm all the way here. He wasn't awake enough to complain, thankfully, but I have little doubt he will bemoan Jason not being able to come. And I plan on being utterly heartless about it. His relationship with Jason is lovely and all, but I think he's just a little too attached."
She looked out the window again, her eyes narrowed slightly. Huffing, she turned back to Rudeth and smiled at him again. "Luckily, Jason thinks it would be good for Zeph to leave too. Though I think Jason desperately wants to come."

Rudeth ran his hands idly through Bianca's silky hair and smiled. "He'll be fine. Besides, I'm sure once he gets to Greece, he'll be so excited to be back home he won't have time to be sad."
He peered down at her book and grinned. "So whatcha reading?" he asked playfully.
