Love this one! So much, I think I should be a designer ^.^ Above written is “A MAGIC WORLD”, the name of the new album from KAS:ST. If you don’t know them yet, check them out, they have done amazing tunes and I hope I will be able to post someday another idea relating to them! The idea above is to create new letters by letting them influence each other. In example, the M and A flow together. Another approach is to create them in a Ying-Yang-manner, which is a part of KAS:ST’s topic as well. Therefore, the “G” of “Magic” exists in an inverted manner and flows into the non-inverted one, creating a circle. You can also find the symbol of KAS:ST as well, albeit in a twisted form - some sort of Easter-egg fitting to the time of the year ;-)
So I hate to ask a favor, but we need some extra practice time before competitions. Is there any way we could come to your school’s gym again? -Mona 15:30
Louisa smiles softly at the text message, just finishing up some classwork in the library. She gathers her stuff and puts it away, before responding.
It’s no trouble. Let me check with Prof. Yoko. -Louisa 15:35
She heads out to the physical building, trying not to let it bother her, when one of the girls from her class goes out of their way to avoid her. No one’s talked to her at all in the past couple of weeks, and so she’s been doing their latest project alone, not that it really matters that much. She didn’t even want to come to school in the first place.
She slips into Prof. Yoko’s office, knocking softly on her door, and heading inside when she gets the go ahead from the teacher.
“Good afternoon, Louisa. How may I help you?” Prof. Yoko folds her hands on her desk, her aura lit up with a fondness that Louisa tends to associate with her. She’s definitely Louisa’s favorite teacher, and Louisa can tell Prof. Yoko likes her enough to be considered among her favorites as well.
“I just wanted to see if there are anymore available times for the aerial manifestation gym this week.” Louisa clasps her hands together.
“There’s not a lot of times, especially since competitions are Saturday, but I’m sure I can find you a little extra time in the schedule.” Prof. Yoko taps on her computer, pulling up the gym times, “There’s an hour and a half tomorrow from four thirty to six, and five to six tonight. Would those work?”
“Yes. We’ll take both of them. Thank you so much.”
“Of course. I can’t wait to see you and your team at competitions.” Prof. Yoko plugs in the times, waving Louisa off.

Rey flips off of Louisa’s manifested ring for her, and onto the branch stretched out in from of them, a ball of energy this afternoon, “Competitions are this weekend!”
Louisa kicks her own ring into a lazy spin, the girls winding down for the evening, “Yep. We’re all staying the full four hours for Friday practice, right?”
“Yes!” Rey spins across the branch, over to where Mona’s ring is set up, giggling the whole time.
Mona watches her with a fond chuckle, leaning her head on the vine covered ring she’s in, “This is the most excited I’ve seen you, since I agreed to do aerial manifestation.”
“I love performing!” Rey plops down on the branch, hooking her legs to steady her, as she hangs upside down, a squeal leaving her lips, “And this is such a cool sport! And you guys are letting me do it with you!”
Louisa sucks in a breath at that, a smile spilling across her lips, “Well, of course we are. You really like aerial, and you’re honestly the best out of all of us.”
Rey pulls herself up, her lip quivering as she looks at Louisa, “Do you really think that?”
Louisa presses her cheek against her ring and nods, cooing when Rey launches herself over to wrap her in a hug.
“Oh, I adore you, sol.” Louisa squishes her in a return hug, pressing a kiss to her cheek, “Do you two want to go to a restaurant with me for dinner?”
Mona kicks her feet, thinking it over for a moment, before nodding, “Might as well. Let me just text our foster dads first.”
Rey positively nestles into Louisa, her eyes watering, “You’re so sweet. Why are you so sweet?”
Louisa strokes her hair with a bright smile, “You deserve it. I’m half considering adopting you as my sisters.”
Rey starts crying at that, while Mona gets out her phone to text their dads, her own aura filling with love at that statement.
Louisa has to steady Rey, when someone bangs loudly on the door, the brown-eyed girl startled by the noise. Louisa checks her watch, humming to herself, “We’ve still got, like five minutes.”
“We aren’t doing anything anyway. Rey and I can drop to the ground level and head out that way.” Mona puts away her phone, holding out a hand to Rey.
The two girls head down, while Louisa uses her manifestation to get back up to the tight wire, and head back over to the balcony. She undoes the lock on the door, opening it and setting a hand on her hip, “It’s five till. What’s with the unnecessary pounding on the door?”
Gaige bristles at that, while the extremely long haired girl next to him tilts her head from side to side, “I mean, she has a point.”
The other four with them just seem mildly irritated, aside from the redheaded guy that confronted Louisa a couple weeks ago, his aura is pissed.
“Why do you lock the door to practice? Are you afraid someone’s going to steal your routine or something?” A girl with dark red hair leans her arms on a pink haired girl’s shoulder, her aura just coated in curiosity, despite the underlying anger in it.
“I would be a dick and make you wait the full, now four minutes,” Louisa checks her watch, before shrugging her shoulders and throwing the door open, “but we just finished up, so you’re welcome.”
She walks to the edge of the balcony and jumps off without saying anything else, knowingly leaving them frustrated.
“Who needs that many spices on their food?!” Mona covers her mouth, a snort escaping it, as Louisa continues adding more spices from the tray their waiter gave them.
Louisa’s eyes glitter teasingly, when she looks up from her meal, “Want me to season yours too?”
“No thank you. I don’t think my ass could handle that.”
Rey nearly chokes on her tamale, having to take it out of her mouth, before bursting into raucous laughter, earning a fond look from one of the guys cooking behind the counter.
Louisa soon starts laughing with her, Mona joining in after a beat, until the whole table has dissolved into a fit of giggles.
The girls continue eating, soon getting on the topic of books, since they’ve all got a shared interest in stories. Louisa accidentally slips into full Esñan for a sentence, Rey letting out a chuckle, while Mona just seems confused.
“Rey, did you understand that?” Mona raises an eyebrow at her friend, tilting her head with it.
Rey tucks her head and nods, reaching up to rub the back of her neck, “I’m fluent in Esñan, Lire, and Respu.”
“Wow. That’s awesome!” Louisa takes a bite of her vegetables, swallowing before speaking, “It took me forever to relearn Lire, and I’m not even going to bother keeping up my Respu.”
“How do you know Respu?” Mona’s already finished with her food, way too quick of an eater.
“I was raised in a small Esñan magic community, about a two hour bus ride from Novurbs, by my abuela, before I even knew that I was unwillingly adopted by Kiara. My sisters and I went into the city a lot, because our library had a very limited collection of books.” Louisa pushes her food with her fork, her heart giving a sad beat.
Rey reaches over and wraps Louisa in a hug, “What happened to them?”
Louisa looks over at her, then hugs her back tightly, ignoring how her eyes are starting to water, “Nothing happened to them. Something happened to me. I- My father, my biological father, found me about three years ago and took custody of me. He kind of cut off all my communication with them, and I didn’t realize it until last year. I thought they were mad at me, or something. I tried to get in contact with them again, but they had up and moved. No one from our old barrio knows where either, or how to get a hold of them, so it’s possible I’ll never see them again.”
Mona sucks in a breath at that, before scooting over to hug her as well, “Well, you’ve got us, if you want us.”
Louisa actually starts crying at that, squishing them both in a hug, “I’m more than okay with that. I love you two.”
Rey starts crying with her, happily nuzzling her shoulder, her and Mona speaking at the same time, “We love you too.”

Louisa, Rey, and Mona head into the gym for their last practice before competitions. Louisa’s been trying to convince the girls to switch to this school, after hearing a bit about their current school. She can tell that it’s starting to work. Rey’s completely on board, but she won’t say so, continuously looking back at Mona, who’s been asking Louisa a bunch of questions, her aura seeming a bit more accepting with every answer.
Louisa opens the door to the balcony, giggling softly, after Rey makes a pun about space, “That was bad, hermana.”
Rey positively beams, while Mona just raises an eyebrow, her sight turned toward the gym.
Louisa follows Mona’s eyesight, rolling her eyes at Gaige and his group working still, “And we’re even a little late today. Hey! It’s sixteen fifteen, you guys! Your practice time is up!”
A few of them still in their spots, everyone’s eyes turned to Gaige, who’s aura is extremely smug, even though a little confusion lights in it, when he sees Rey and Mona, Rey tucking into Mona’s side worriedly.
Gaige and his redheaded friend use two sets of manifestations to swing over to them, “It’s not actually. Prof. Tate said, since we need the extra hours to practice, your group and mine can just share the practice space, until eighteen.”
“My agreement with Prof. Yoko, was that we’d have the gym to ourselves, and Prof. Yoko has ultimate decision in the schedule.” Louisa sets a hand on her hip, raising an eyebrow at him.
“Actually, Prof. Yoko and Prof. Tate both have decision over the schedule, so either share the gym with us, or get lost.” The redheaded boy bares his teeth at Louisa, instantly setting her off.
Louisa balls her fists, her aura reaching dangerous levels of anger. Mona just reaches over and sets a hand on her shoulder, looking the boys over calmly, “We can’t practice, if you’re in the gym with us.”
Gaige’s aura at least seems to relax with an explanation, turning to look at Mona instead, “If you can’t practice with us in the gym, then how do you plan to do competitions.”
“That’s different, tú gilipolla.” Louisa’s voice comes out in a low hiss, her arms waving in frustration, “You’re our competitors, and no one knows who we are for competitions; unless, one, they’ve seen the person’s routine and recognize it, or two, they tell them.”
“You don’t want to share the gym, because you’re worried we’ll recognize you?” Gaige raises an eyebrow at them, his arms coming across his chest, “Just put up a curtain then.”
Louisa opens her mouth at that, then crosses her arms and looks at the ground, “I can’t focus on holding up that big of a manifestation for so long, and still work through our routines.”
Rey chuckles fondly at that, reaching over and rubbing Louisa’s back gently. Mona scrunches her nose and looks up at Gaige, “We can’t share the gym with you, and we need the full practice time. I’m sorry. Isn’t there another place you can practice?”
“I could ask you the same question.” The redheaded boy glares down at Mona, still fiercely against them.
Mona looks back at him, her face blank, “Louisa would kill me if I suggested we work in the park again, so no, there isn’t.”
“We’re not going to another gym, and we also need the practice time. I’m sorry, but I’m not budging.” Gaige reaches up and pinches the bridge of his nose.
Louisa balls her fists, twisting on her heel, “I’m going to cool down, and then we’ll discuss this with Prof. Yoko and Prof. Tate.”
Rey sighs softly and shares a look with Mona, before following Louisa out of the room. Mona nods at the two, then turns to look at the boys, “Do you really need the extra practice time, or are you just trying to piss Louisa off? You know this is our time. She informed you last time you requested to take up our practice time.”
Gaige just runs a hand through his hair, letting out a breath, “We really do need the practice time. I didn’t know she had a team, or friends. She’s really standoffish.”
“That’s an understatement. She’s a complete asshole. How in the world are you friends with her?” The redheaded boy throws his hands to his sides, glaring viciously out the door.
Mona eyes him over, then decides to ignore him, turning back to Gaige, “She was kind enough to give me a genuine place to practice, even before we became a group. From our point of view, what you’re doing is extremely rude.”
“We’re being rude?! Y-”
“Nash.” Gaige holds up a hand to cut off his friend, looking so ready to be done with this conversation, “Look… Um, what’s your name?”
“I don’t see why you need to know that.” Mona scrunches her nose, when she sees the other four members of their group head over to them, “Anyway, if you won’t leave in the time Louisa specifically blocked out for us, then I need to find her, so we can bring this discussion to someone else.”
Mona waits for a response, Gaige opening his mouth for a moment, before closing it and tilting his head, “I’m sorry, but what? Why won’t you tell me your name?”
“My reasons are my own.” Mona takes a step back, deciding that she’s not going to get a direct response.
Prof. Yoko leans against her chair, Prof. Tate pressing a hand to his forehead next to her, “I mean, Louisa did technically block out the space for a closed practice. Louisa, are you sure you can’t share the space? It’s a full four hours.”
“Well, it’s closer to three hours now, and yes. We can’t practice with other people in our space.” Louisa crosses her arms across her chest, still rather frustrated, despite her cool-down with Rey.
“Then we’re going to have to give the time to Louisa. I’m sorry, Gaige. Next time, you’ll just need to block out the space ahead of time.” Prof. Tate sighs heavily, sinking back against his chair.
Gaige lets out a long breath, before nodding his head, “Okay, Prof. Tate. Thank you for your time.”
Gaige bows to the professors, before heading out of the room. Louisa sticks back for a moment, running a hand through her hair, “I’m sorry we had to have that mediated. Thank you for listening to us.”
“It’s no problem Louisa. Thank you for trying to solve the issue, before coming to us.” Prof. Yoko smiles at her warmly, “Good luck with your practice.”
Louisa bows to her, before heading out of the office and back the practice room, where the other group is leaving, most of them giving Louisa rude looks.
Louisa closes the door behind her, then sinks to the floor and presses her face into her hands, “I’m so sorry.”
Rey and Mona both blink at that, before Rey plops down and scoops her up in a hug, “Hey, hey. It’s not your fault. They were the ones that knowingly tried to take our time.”
Louisa nestles against her, starting to cry, “I-I just hate dealing with pe-eople so much, and wh-y would they do that? Why d-don’t they just leave me alone?”
Mona plops down next to them with a soft sigh, reaching over to rub her back, “People are strange creatures. It’s their fault if they’re upset.”
Louisa wipes her eyes and nods, still feeling a little overwhelmed, “Th-thanks. Just gi-ive me a minute to clear myself, and then we can get to practice.”
“Take your time. Rey and I can go through our routine first, so you can clear without worrying.” Mona pats her head and straightens up, sharing a smile with Rey.

Chapters one and two are on my blog, under the Over’s Stories tab.
(Author’s Note: If you haven’t read the other chapters yet, and want to know why they really can’t share the practice space, it’s because Rey is a non-magic, and if it got out that she’s doing Aerial Manifestation with Mona and Louisa, then they’ll kick her out of competitions, and won’t let her perform.)
