After her regular dose of crying herself to sleep, Paula found out that she couldn't sleep...So she decided to go out for a night's walk to be by herself and think about things In the Life Sphere. It's been about a year since she was here actually, on LI...She missed her friends and family greatly and would always think that one day they'll be on LI to, It worked on Mr Widdles, why wouldn't It work on Ness and co.

She donned on a dark red jacket and skirt and walked outside for a night's walk around Brightwing Lane, It was quiet and most residents were asleep, she walked on pavements past street lights until she came across a bench. "A bench, well that was perfectly placed." Paula said as she stood on the bench and sat on top of It, she then looked at the stars In the sky...And wondered about her future.

"I wonder what's up there...In space, I wonder what will happen In the future."

In the dead of night, one would most likely not expect someone else walking around with apparently nothing to do. However, that night had proven itself to be rather different. If Paula would squint her eyes at a certain direction, there would be a figure approaching.

Eventually, the figure would become more and more visible. It was a fairly old woman with a light violet hair, and she seemed to hold a cat on her arms. She walked around rather casually, humming a tranquil song. One wouldn't know who she was at first glance, but that woman was Ms. Accord, Primp Town's Magic School teacher.

She eventually took notice of Paula and stopped in her tracks, seemingly to think for a small while.

"...Hm...Excuse me, young lady."

Ms. Accord calmly approached the girl. "I hope you do not mind me asking a question."

As Paula continued to look up at the stars...She saw someone walking towards the bench, she watched as more and more of the figure revealed herself as Paula continued to look up at the stars, hoping that the figure would just pass by. She felt like she wanted to be alone...And think about her time on this planet so far, but at the same time she was happy to see someone who looked friendly even If she was passing by...At least, that's what Paula thought.

Paula turned when the lady stopped and wanted to ask Paula a question.

"Oh, sure, what's the question, you look new, are you lost?"

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ms. Accord grew a small smile as the girl accepted her request. The teacher found herself a tad relieved that the young lady was willing to listen. As she left her wand resting with her 'cat', she grabbed a photo from one of her pockets.

"Have you perchance seen these kids?" She said as she showed the picture.

The picture she showed was her alongside a bunch of kids--her students. Whilst Paula wouldn't be able to recognize most of them, she would most certainly recognize the small green-haired girl in between the teacher and a girl in pink with a weird red cap in the picture. It was Rider, the girl she saved on a particular mission.

"Forgive me if I am sounding a bit intrusive." Ms. Accord suddenly said. "I've been looking everywhere for my students..."

[Deleted]

Paula looked at the picture and realised who the girl In the picture was, It was Rider, the girl she saved earlier this week with Arle, she seemed fine but she should toughen up In a place like this. "Actually, I did see her." Paula said to Raffine as she pointed to the apartments. "I think she's In one of those apartment complexes somewhere." Paula said as she shrugged. "Unfortunately that's all I know." Paula said as she looked up at the stars again and sighed.

"It sure Is a quiet yet starry night."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ms. Accord let out a sigh of relief when Paula confirmed she knew at least Rider and pointed to her where she would most likely be. Surely this meant that there's an off-chance the others would be here as well, wouldn't they? She stored the photo back into her pocket as Popoi handed the wand to her again.

"Thank you very much, young lady. You've been a really big help to me just now, and I don't think I can express my gratitude enough just with words. Could there be anything I could do for you in order to return the favor?" Ms. Accord said...and then Popoi started talking.

"Just make sure it's something she can handle, okay?" The cat said to Paula. The teacher let out a small giggle in response to Popoi, who only looked at the teacher in confusion.

[Deleted]

Paula looked as Accord and...Some odd cat, thanked Paula for finding them Rider's location sort of and asked If she wanted anything In return, but nothing too much for her. "No thanks, I'm not interested In any rewards right now." Paula said still continuing to watch the stars, she put her head to her knees as she looked up, thinking about what she could do when she gets back to her apartment, probably nothing.

"Rider's probably asleep though."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ms. Accord took Paula's words in consideration. Her words ultimately rang true. It was the dead of night, so there was the chance that Rider was sleeping. "...I see. I thank you regardless for pointing me into the general direction." Ms. Accord ended up saying. It then occurred to her that they should at the very least had exchanged names.

"I suppose now would be a good time to introduce myself. I am named Accord, and I teach at Primp Town's Magic School. The...'cat' I'm holding with me is my talking puppet, Popoi."

Popoi waved one of his tiny hands. "Meow, hi there! Can we know what you're called?" He asked.

[Deleted]

Paula looked back at Accord, a little bit confused as she introduced herself to Paula and her cat Popoi. Paula looked around, but soon spoke again. "Ok...I'm Paula Polestar, It's nice to meet you miss." Paula said to Accord sounding a little bit happier then before, she then spoke again, wondering why Accord was searching for Rider In the middle of the night. "So why are you searching for Rider late at night Instead of In the morning?" Paula said to Accord waiting for her to reply.

She then looked back at the sky again.

"Did you get lost, The Life Sphere Is a pretty big place to get lost In easily."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

"I see. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Paula." Ms. Accord replied just a bit before Paula's question regarding her searching for her students at night. It was a question one would normally ask considering how strange the situation was. There was no reason not to answer, though, so the Primp Town teacher began commenting on what happened.

"Well, Ms. Paula...where should I begin? Firstly, I was transported over here with my own school due to a strange phenomena of the space-time continuum. Our landing was...not short of it's consequences, as the whole school was...such a mess once it landed. I had spent the entire afternoon fixing up the school."

She pondered a bit. "Once I was finished, it was evening already. I would end the day right then and there and go to sleep in one of the school dorms...however, I was perturbed, to say the least."

[Deleted]

Paula listened to Accord as she explained how she came to Li, well her, Popoi and her school and said that after finishing refurbishing her school, she then took a nap at one of the schools dorms. "That sounds good, we should have more schools here for children In the Life Sphere, so you cant sleep as well was what you were trying to say?" Paula said to Accord as she looked back. "Me neither, but my reason Is different." Paula said looking back up at the stars.

"I was to sad to get some sleep, this usually happens every night, well not going outside to be myself Is not one of those things, but another thing."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

"Yes, I guess you could say that." Accord didn't say it to Paula, but she was happy that somebody liked the idea of a magic school. Though, that brief moment was not to last, as Paula revealed that she was going through a bit of emotional turmoil. The teacher was understandably worried about that, so she decided to see if she could help the little blonde girl.

"...Would you mind telling me what has happened?"

[Deleted]

Paula seemed reluctant to talk to Accord about her problems, after all, she just met this lady and what good will she do, but she might as well say something to make Accord not think differently of her. "Fine, I'll tell you." Paula said as she turned back towards Accord and Popoi and explained her problems to her.

She sighed.

"I was just thinking about my past, and wondered If I'll ever get back home again, to my friends and family, I'm not sure If I'll be able to see them again and the fact, depresses me, we all won't probably, but I'm keeping my appearance intact and all those thoughts deep Inside my mind."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Accord listened intently to Paula and began to ponder a little while. Her problem seemed to be that she was, in a technical sense, homesick and missed a lot of her friends on her homeworld. How could she answer that without upsetting the girl? Well, it was worth a try.

"Ms. Paula, I can say that I share your sentiments. When my students were dragged to another world, I...quickly missed them and their silly antics. And now that I'm in this mysterious new world, I cannot deny I already miss the tranquility of Primp Town. I believe that while there's still no way we can go back yet...one day, we will."

[Deleted]

Paula listened to Accords speech as she tried to find a solution to Paula's problem, something that wont be fixed for a long time. "Uh oh...I'm feeling It...That emotion." Paula thought as she got up from the bench and looked at Accord again. "Really, well...I need to go." Paula said as she breathed heavily before she started to walk away from Accord and Popoi without another word, breathing heavily while she walked.

She didn't look back.

"Please don't follow me, please don't follow me."
