Lyla was chirping softly in her ear, and had woken her up. She rolled her head to the side, and started out the window.<br/><br/>"Lyla... What's up? Why'd you wake me, huh?" She spoke to the beautifully colored bird as if it could understand her. Sometimes she thought Lyla really did know what she was saying. She chirped a bit louder, and fluttered out of the carriage. Rei immediately sprang up and chased after her.<br/><br/>"Lyla!" She whistled sharply, and the bird flew back towards her. "You know better!" Rei scolded the bird and shook her finger at her. Lyla chirped softly, almost sadly, in response and hovered a few inches in front of Rei. "Now, come on. Show me what's got you all riled up, Ly." She whistled twice in quick succession, and Lyla perked up again.<br/><br/>The bird flew forward a bit, and Rei walked quickly to keep up with her. They went through the different carriages, and Rei glanced into each of the compartments as they passed by. Students talking, or sleeping. Teachers making plans for their classes. Things Rei had seem before, during her first two years. Some things really never did change. But she didn't mind. It all felt familiar, and happy.<br/><br/>Lyla hovered in front of a compartment with an open door before quickly darting inside. Rei whistled sharply, but Lyla didn't come back out. The young girl pursed her lips in irritation before heading into the compartment. To her slight surprise, it wasn't empty.<br/><br/>"Oh!" Rei said, her eyes widening slightly. "I'm sorry. I don't know what go into her." She laughed softly and laid her eyes on Lyla. The lorikeet was fascinated with something. Rei could see it was small and black. It looked fuzzy.<em>A cat...?</em>She wondered. As she looked closer, she could see it was a baby bird. It looked like a raven. Lyla was preening the little raven, and Rei couldn't help but smile.<br/><br/>"Lyla. Come on, pretty. Let's go!" Rei whistled to get her attention, but she was too interested in her new feathered friend. Rei shook her head. "I guess she found a new friend." She said to the red headed girl. The raven was sitting on her lap, so Rei assumed it belonged to her.<br/><br/>"Well, what a peculiar way to meet someone!" Rei giggled. "I'm Rei. Rei Taniguchi. May I join you?" She introduced herself politely, hoping she hadn't intruded on anything. She wasn't one to just barge in on conversations, but she didn't want to leave Lyla. If the three students didn't want to be joined, Rei would have to figure out how to get Lyla away from the raven.<br/><br/><em>Boy, would that be a task and a half...</em>
