Diamond Is Not Cheap

One hearty packed lunch (homemade of course, Koichi was a wonder in the kitchen even with the limited supplies they could find here in the USA) followed by a light doze out on the high-schools fields later and Okayasu was ready for round two with the odd --yet endearing-- new high school system. As much as he disliked school he had to admit this place was 'cool'. Everyone seemed fairly happy and free of infighting, class divide and 'stupid bullshit' (as his beloved brother had often called it) that permeated their old school. He was still boggled at the lack of classroom clean up or class reps but rolled with it. He'd seen enough weird stuff in his time that something like that was just a curiosity.

Wandering back across the field to CHS he smiled lightly remebering the heated discussion the three of them had started regarding that Rarity girl. She was definitly cute he had to admit, hell cute was a little insulting she was gorgeous. Problem was she was alittle...eh...'intense' for him at least and Jojo defintly agreed. Though he'd questioned him on WHY he'd called her cute after trying to brush her off, that wouldn't help in the long run if his aim was to dishearten her. 'Course he wasn't the greatest with girls personally but he knew that much even if he wasn't the smartest guy around. Koichi had pitched in as well of of course with his usual sensible advice but as much as Okayasu loved the little guy he couldn't help but be wary about advice from a guy in a relationship with a girl who'd tried to kill him.

Love was weird.

Entering the main building he brushed past the crowds, looking around on occasion and soaking up all the different styles and types of people. The school was certainly varied. There was something deeper to his gaze however, Okayasu was on a mission.

"Look for the girl with pink hair' he murmured to himself as he ambled down a hallway technically on his way to Biology. It was all part of their plan since Josuke had forgotten to get the girls name after saving her pet. The fact that she thought Crazy Diamond was 'magic' added extra interest to their investigation, since according to Mister Kujo unaware Stand users often attributed their abilities to 'magic', 'luck' or some kind of 'miracle'. What info they'd been given in the phone-book thick report seemed to insist that weird stuff was going on all over the town but had originated  from this high-school, so the fact that a 'magic' high school girl could see (and thus most likely had) a Stand ticked a lot of their little groups boxes. He and Jojo had a bet running on whether or not she was behind it all.

Those Junko shoes would be his dammit !

Reaching a set of stairs for the second floor (home to most of the science and art based classes) Okayasu paused and pulled a school map out of his pocket, he and the others had been given the full tour earlier in the day by the Principals (Celestia seemed nice even if she was the tallest women he'd ever seen in his life, Luna was...a bit scary to be honest, she seemed tired as well but when Josuke asked she brushed it off as a 'all nighter with paperwork') but he wanted to be sure, one thing he hated was getting lost, then late and then forced to do water-bucket duty....then again they probably didn't do that he-

Cut off mid thought the teen was practically bowled over by a pink blur rushing past him and up the stairs, grumbling to himself he stood upright only to get knocked over once more, the unfortunate Okayasu and his assailant being the only ones left in the hallway due to the imminent classes.

"Oi Oi watch where your going" he yelled at the girl, herself grumbling as she picked up the scattered contents of her loose shoulder bag and odd pointy hat from the floor. He scanned the prone girl quickly. Nice legs, platinum blonde (practically white) hair and a purple/blue dress combo.

"The great and powerful Trixie requires no glasses and knows exactly where shes going !" the girl emoted, ramming her hat on her head furiously "It is YOU new boy who needs glasses"

Okayasu sighed, why were the cute ones always crazy ?

"I wasn't the one running around bumping into people, eh Witch-girl ?"

He smirked as the girls eye practically tic'd at the name.

"What did you call Trixie !"

"Weeeeell" he began sidling up to her before patting her signature head-gear lightly "when you wear a hat like that the shoe fits eh ?"

The Great and Powerful Trixie seemed to fume for a few seconds before simply turning her back on Okayasu, nose indignantly held in the air.

"Trixie doesn't have time for meaningless prattle with new people in need of eyewear, she has to catch up with Pinkie Pie and discuss important matters regarding party-plans" with that the girl rushed off up the stairs.

Shrugging lightly Okayasu returned to his map carefully scanning it for a few seconds. He had the feeling he was forgetting something but wasn't sure what. What was it ? What could it be? Was i-

"PINK HAIR SHIT !"

Stuffing the map back in his pocket the youngest Speedwagon Agent in history ran up three flights of stairs after his pink blur, if his instincts were correct she'd probably be out of his sight....but Witch-girl said she was looking for a 'Pinkie Pie' and what would be the chances that that was his brightly maned target ? His gut told him it was the right move and he trusted it far more then his head. He caught a glimpse of Witch-girl going up a set of stairs to the left of the hallway where the Science rooms were and followed, a small part of him was sure they weren't on the map but his feet said otherwise.

After what felt like an eternity of endless stairs going ever higher he managed to catch up with Witch-girl only to notice something weird.

Well weird beyond his Pink blur being a bouncy, hyperactive, fuzzy haired girl currently dancing around Trixie talking about 'balloons and cake and parties and ooh a new person !'.

Ignoring this 'Pinkie Pie' he focused.

The entire 'area' had simply ceased to be, instead of stairs, railings, windows and beams of light it was nothing but inky blackness somehow illuminated. It was as if they were stuck inside a cube of pure darkness and only he self professed 'Idiot Niijimura' seemed to notice as Pinkie Pie was too busy babbling to him whilst Witch-girl was too busy writing in a book entitled 'Stage Plans'.

What was it Mister Kujo said in these situations ? Oh yeah.

"Yare Yare Daze"
