Mary POV: September 29th

The week went by in a flash. Everyone was preparing for the beginning of school. And the last day of summer is probably the worst. You get that awful feeling according to Lucy that you're about to lose the freedom of fun before going into school. But who knows, I for one enjoy school. Sounds crazy. But yeah, I enjoy the interaction. Our dorm, which is over the amount of people that should stay in a dorm, still manages to work. Sarah was the one who slept on the air mattress at night. It was the one of those types that you can plug in, it inflates and deflates by turning the opening left or right. She sleeps near the window, in the middle between my bed and Hannah's. In the morning, we leaned it up against the door that led into another dorm room next to us.

So today was a bit chaotic since the whole school was back and everyone was doing last minute stuff before school begins tomorrow. Which also made me realize that I haven't visited Haru. She returned two weeks ago but I was busy doing stuff. Thankfully the opportunity has arrived. Right after lunch, I quickly made my way to the other side of the school. I ascended the stairs up to the Gardening Club.

Slowly opened the door so I could poke my head through. I spotted Haru at the back near the shed pruning. Closing the door behind me, Haru's ears twitched towards me before looking at me.

"Mary!" She jumps up before approaching me.

"Haru." I greeted before she hugged me.

"How was your summer?"

"It was good. I just relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine." I smiled.

"Good."

"How was yours?"

"It was good too. Spent it with my family."

"Nice."

Haru takes a step back, "But it's great to see you again. Ready for a new year here?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Great. Can you help me remove some of the dead plants, and prune some of them for spring?"

"Sure."

Haru walks over to her shed and gets gloves and a set of pruners. She hands it to me, and I quickly get to work.

"Can I play some music?" I asked.

Haru nods, "Sure."

I pulled out my phone and selected a song before getting back to work.

Removing dead plants and flowers took a bit. The Four o'clocks were blooming with yellow flowers and were about to produce seeds. The sunflowers were finishing their bloom, and some old flowers that bloomed during summer were removed. I put the decomposing plants into a pile and then began to prune some of the bushes.

"Hey Haru, are we gonna plant anything for spring?"

"Probably, but we can plan for it." Haru points towards a stack of magazines that advertise flowers and other plants. It was on stool by the shed.

I finished the bush I was pruning before walking over to look at one of the magazines. There were a lot, so many different types of flowers.

Until I see a purple type flower at the bottom right of one of the pages. I recognized it as Autumn Crocus and on the page it showed its scientific name, Midnicampum Holicithius.

"Hey Haru, what about these?" I flipped the magazine over to show her.

She comes closer to get a better look, "Well... they do keep away bugs. But I wouldn't plant it here."

"Why?"

"The flowers are regulated and it's not recommended to be planted in an area with a large concentration of people."

I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

How can a flower be dangerous?

I shrugged before putting down the magazine and returning to prune.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time Skip: 2 hours

"And done!" Called Haru.

I took a step back and marveled at our success. The garden was all neatly organized and cleaned up. All plants were pruned, the dead placed into a pile to be used as compost or tossed later.

"The four o'clock I will remove once they're done blooming and seeding."

I nod.

"Hey Mary," Haru turned to me, "I heard that there's more humans here."

"Indeed. Six more joined us." I nodded, "Mason, Bianca, Hannah, Hector, Maddie, and Sarah."

"That sounds nice." Haru walks past me to put away her gloves and tools.

I stared up at the sky, basking in the sunlight.

Haru closes the shed, "Mary..."

I looked down at her, she was standing in front of me.

"Do you know where Louis went?"

"I don't."

"I just... I miss him." Haru looks down, looking a bit sad.

I sighed, "Haru... I miss him too." I Crouched down to her height, "And many people do, we don't know what happened to him."

"He hasn't answered any of my texts or calls."

"Maybe he's busy with... family."

Haru looks up, "You're probably right." She nods.

"See... look at the positive side, he'll probably show up for the school year."

Haru nodded before I stood up.

"What are you gonna do now?" She asked.

"The group has planned to watch a movie later so I'm gonna head back to check on what they're doing."

"Alright. Thank you for helping me garden." Haru smiled.

I smiled, "You're welcome." And waved at her before exiting the roof.

Walking across the school was calm, I noticed the teachers were printing off papers while they chatted away of the incoming year. I exited out from the cafeteria entrance and made it to the dorm. When I reached the 7th floor, I noticed my dorm room door was cracked a bit. Sticking my head through I saw everyone just chilling. And also see that the boys managed to get in.

"I'm back from the Gardening Club." I knocked on the door so I wouldn't startle them.

"Welcome back." Greeted Sarah as she stretched on the floor, soaking up the sunlight.

I quickly notice Jacob and Mason both sitting in front of each other. Both had determination on their faces and eyes wide open.

What are they doing now?

"Are they doing a staring contest?" I asked before sitting down on my bed.

Maddie looks up as she was in the process of painting her nails, "Yep, they are at it again."

"You and Mason get into these bets all the time." Bianca adds in.

Jacob objected, "He started it."

"I only said can someone hold their eyes open for three minutes." Mason raises his hand, refusing to break eye contact with Jacob.

"Then blink, it's already been three minutes."

"Nuh uh."

I hear someone give a long exhale. It was Susan, she immediately got up off Hannah's bed and walked into the bathroom. She came back out holding a bit of water, and splashed it on Mason.

"Hey!" Mason blinked away.

"Yes!" Jacob stood up, "I win."

"That's because you had help." Mason wiped his face before standing up.

He then walked up behind Jacob and poked him on the back.

"Oh really?" Jacob raises an eyebrow.

Mason gets into a defensive stance as Jacob goes and grabs him. They both begin to wrestle each other until they fall to the ground. Both missing Sarah who moved out of the way.

"Tiempo de lucha libre." Muttered Hector as he looked up from his phone.

Hannah turns to Susan, "Hey Susan, what is the stone bridge that goes across the straight goes from Archeania to here? I'm trying to remember the name."

Susan thought for a bit, "I think it's called Horatio's bridge, named after King Horatio who funded the bridge. I think it was 300 years ago. Initially for upcoming trade but it didn't follow through as planned."

"That's the one, I totally forgot who it was." Hannah nodded.

They both struggle for a bit until Jacob holds Mason down.

"Do you give up?"

Mason struggles for a bit before relaxing, "Yes..."

Jacob releases him before plopping down on my bed next to me. He pulls out his phone to check messages.

"Jack says they are ready for the movie." Jacob leans over to show me.

"Who has the movie?"

"I do." Mason quickly goes over to his bag and pulls out The Goonies.

"Such a classic." Commented Hannah.

"It is, I bet they're gonna like it." Said Lucy.

I looked over at Jacob, "Tell him that we'll be over there in five minutes."

Maddie caps her nail polish, "Make that seven." She quickly blows air on her nails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After seven minutes, we were all ready.

"Aren't girls not allowed in the boys dorm?" Asked Hector.

"Yes, but it's the only way. Besides, we've already done it." I assured him.

"And what will happen if the dorm mother catches us?"

"I don't know."

Jacob walks up next to him, "Don't forget we're in the girls dorm."

Hector gives me and Jacob a slight annoyed look.

"Look at the bright side," Mason puts his arm on his shoulder, "we'll have a story to tell."

Maddie exited the bathroom and fixed her hair. "I'm ready."

"Same." Lucy waits by the door.

"So how are we gonna sneak into their dorm?" Asked Bianca.

"The boys will go first and we will sneak up the stairs behind them and dart in the room once it's clear." I opened the door.

We left our girls' dorm and quickly descended the stairs. Thankfully no one saw the boys exit the girls dorm. Now it was our turn to sneak into the boys dorm. Jacob, Hector, and Mason entered the dorm and gave us a signal that the entrance was clear. We entered and waited at the bottom of the stairs as one went up to, and the other two stayed at the bottom to make sure no one was approaching.

"Uh oh." Muttered Mason.

We turn and we see two boys approaching. We didn't let Jacob know that we were coming up. Silently but quickly speeded up the stairs until we reached the 7th floor.

Jacob knocked on 701, and it appeared to be Jack who answered. With one motion of his hand, we all darted towards and into the room like we were avoiding zombies.

Jack quickly closes the door, "You all made it in time with no incidents."

Hannah raises her finger as she is slightly out of breath from running up the stairs, "There was... boys coming."

"At least we didn't get caught." Maddie nudged her.

We all removed our shoes and stacked them by the door. The boys were all in white t-shirts and red sweats. Everyone greeted one another as I sat down by Legoshi on his bed.

"Hey."

"Hey." He greeted me.

"Are you ready for school?"

He nods.

"That's good."

"What classes are you gonna take?" He asked.

"Doing Sea Speech again, doing P.E., and next level education."

Legoshi nods.

"How about you?"

"Doing the same thing." He replies.

"Nice." I placed my hand on top of his.

His tail started to wag, which made me smile.

"So what is The Goonies about?" Asked Miguno.

"Kids who go on a treasure seeking adventure." Replied Susan.

"Oh."

"You're gonna enjoy it, there's funny stuff in it." Said Maddie.

Mason takes out the movie from his bag and hands it to Collot who sets the tv up. We all sat on the floor with Legoshi and Collot in the back while some of us sat or laid on the floor.

"Ready?" Asked Collot as he lifted the tv remote up.

"Yes." We all said.

He then clicked the play button and the movie started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time Skip: 2 hours later, around near 5 o'clock.

The movie went great. We laughed at the funny parts, and desperately tried not to be too loud so that it doesn't alert the dorm mother. But the boys of 701 enjoyed it. After the movie ended I stood up in front of everyone.

"So... how did you guys like it?"

"That was such a good movie." Said Durham.

"It was funny too." Replied Miguno.

"That's good to hear."

Jack raises his hand, "Favorite part is when they were all at the Walsh house."

"Favorite character was Chunk." Voss jumped up and down a bit on Collot's shoulder.

"It was... very interesting." Muttered Legoshi.

I looked at him and smiled.

"It's still a classic movie for us to watch." Mason gets off the floor and stretches.

"Especially when we are at the beach." Added Lucy.

Bianca turns to Susan, "So what do we do now?"

"Well we could do..." I had to think.

But then we hear a knock on the door.

Knock

Knock

Knock

We all jumped at the sound. And a sense of panic filled us girls.

"Hide in the bunks." Ushered Jack.

The girls and I quickly jumped into a bed and closed the curtain. I was on Legoshi's, Susan and Hannah were on Voss's, Bianca on Collot's, Lucy on Jack's, Sarah on Durham's and Maddie was on Miguno's.

We got quiet as Jack opened the door. The dorm mother stood there with her clipboard.

"Hi Dorm Mother."

"I came by to hand in your monthly dorm check calendar for the year." She hands Jack a paper that shows dates of when they check the rooms.

It is mandatory for the dorm mothers to check the room, to see if they were cleaned. And for that reason, if there was a fire, the mess of one's room doesn't affect him or herself or even their roommates' quickly exiting. Plus also it doesn't make the room smell which brings up an interesting point that myself and probably the others noticed. Some animals have bad bio. Not to be rude or anything but there were some dates when I walked down the hallway, some student finished PE class and it reeked.

The dorm mother looks over Jack and sees Jacob, Hector and Mason just sitting on the floor hanging out. She then turned and left.

Jack closes the door, "We're clear."

We all pulled the curtains open and exited. Except for myself who sat on Legoshi's bed. I turned and noticed Shoshi in his container. He has completed molting from a larva to an adult rhinoceros beetle.

"How's Shoshi doing?" I asked.

"He's doing good." Legoshi sat down next to me and moved Shoshi's container to his lap. He then takes Shoshi out of his container and lets him crawl around his hand.

"Can I hold him?" I lifted my hand up. Legoshi gently sets Shoshi down on my hand. I feel his claws at the end of his feet scrape my hand as he crawls around.

"You have a pet?" Asked Sarah curiously.

Legoshi nods as I show her Shoshi.

"He's so cute."

"What is?" Asked Hector.

Sarah motions him over.

"Can I hold him?" He asked

I look over at Legoshi for permission, and he nods. I gently picked up Shoshi and placed him in Hector's hand. The rest came over and took turns holding Shoshi until it was in Lucy's hand.

"Why does Legoshi have a pet rhinoceros beetle?" Asked Bianca.

"He rescued one before Shoshi, his name was Kabu." I replied, "But he died in mid summer, but my dad after what Legoshi did rewarded him with a larva."

"That's nice." Replied Bianca as she looked back at Shoshi.

"Plus Legoshi likes insects, has an interest in them." I added.

Lucy then gently picks Shoshi back up and hands it back to Legoshi. He then returns Shoshi to his container and sets it back on his bed.

"What do we wanna do know?" Asked Mason

"It is dinner time, so let's go eat." Replied Jack.

Lucy jumps up quickly, "Agreed."

We all gathered by the door and slipped on our shoes before quickly leaving. Jacob and Hector watched the floor as Durham and Miguno quickly ran downstairs with Mason behind. Mason stopped halfway while the other two stood at the bottom.

"We're clear." Said Jack as we made our escape.

Quickly descending the stairs without tripping, we finally made it out of the boys dorm building unseen. Then walked all the way to the cafeteria, chatting and laughing at some of the parts from The Goonies. We entered the cafeteria and grabbed our trays. Everyone seemed to be in positive moods. I sat down at a table that was near the boys of 701 due to the cafeteria already being packed. Thankfully, us ten were able to sit next to one another with just two tables.

"So do any of you have goals for the year?" Asked Maddie.

"Not me." Replied Sarah.

"Me neither." Added Mason.

Bianca sits down next to me, "What about goals?"

"Any school achievements you wanna see accomplished." Restated Maddie.

"Getting through school." Bianca takes a bite of food.

Maddie takes a bite of fruit from her bowl before turning to Susan, "What about you, Susan?"

Susan puts down her water, "I uhhh... I have a dance tryout happening soon."

"Oh sweet." Sarah looked down the table at her, "When is it happening?"

"Next week."

"Hopefully you'll be ready."

"I hope so."

I could tell Susan was a bit stressed by her body language. And it's understandable for someone to be stressed before a tryout.

I'll talk to her later.

"Looks like the freaks have multiplied."

I looked over to see Mazuchi and her gang walking over to us. The rest stopped what they were doing and looked at Mazuchi.

"You're hogging up all the tables, or is that what your species does best?"

I glanced at Sarah and Maddie who have that "Is she for real?" face.

Mazuchi then turns to me, "Looks like you defy the term freaks, sleeping with a wolf, and hanging out with sluts. Your species is vile."

I just sat there, I didn't know what to think.

"Umm... who are you talking to?" Hector leaned forward to look at Mazuchi, "It looks like you're talking to yourself which appears to be what you do a lot."

Mason snickered as he covered his mouth with a napkin.

"I'm not the freak here, you are." Mazuchi quickly responded,  "And you all should return back to that trash island you call home."

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Bianca interrupts her, "Or do you go by a bitchy mean girl?"

In my head I was smirking, all of us were. Mazuchi's friends were shocked and whispered to one another, much to Mazuchi who was glaring at Bianca.

"You have something to say, brown head?"

Uh oh.

Bianca dropped her fork, and immediately stood up from her chair and went over to Mazuchi to stand in front of her. Some of the animals who were close by stopped what they were doing and watched.

"This is getting out of hand." Whispered Jacob as we all watched.

"You have something to say?" Mazuchi tries to act tough but Bianca is taller than her.

"Oh I do. Next time you pick on one of us, just know that you have to go through all of us. So I suggest that you walk away with your little posse or you wanna throw down right here bitch?"

Mazuchi looked like she picked on the wrong person, she looked to be threatened by Bianca's size. Her ears were kinda lowered and she took a couple of steps back before leading her group away.

"Nice work, Bianca." Commented Mason.

"She had it coming." Bianca sits back down before turning to me, "Has she picked on you?"

Everyone is looking at me.

"Y-yes." I admitted, "She has a couple of times."

"Oh Mary..." Jacob rubs my back, "Why haven't you told us?"

"I just didn't want you to get involved with my problems."

"You can trust us. We are all in this together, a team." Stated Lucy as she puts her hand in the center of the table.

Then one by one, they put their hands together. Until they looked at me. I nodded and added mine.

"Go team." Cheered Mason.

"Todos para uno y uno para todos." Smiled Hector.

"Thanks." I smiled.

We all drew our hands back and continued eating dinner with lots of chatting and laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3rd POV: Time Skip: 8 p.m.

The ten humans sat and talked the whole dinner period away. Some told stories of the sophomore year back on Archeania when four of them were here. Other topics were a discussion of upcoming holidays and whether a spork is necessary to eat cereal. They all didn't notice that the cafeteria got quiet and realized they were the only ones there.

They got up after returning their trays and exiting the cafeteria. They were gonna go back to their dorm rooms until Jack and the 701 boys intercepted them.

"Hey guys, how was dinner?" Asked Jack

"Good." Replied Lucy, "It was delicious."

"That's good. You all wanna join us for some star gazing? There's gonna be a meteor shower tonight."

Mary looked at her group and they all nodded, "Sure."

"Great. Follow me."

Jack leads the group into the school and up the stairs. Mary realizes that she hasn't been in this area of Cherryton. They climbed up the stairs until they reached the very top, the highest point of the school. Mary realizes that they were at the school sign. She had seen it multiple times but never thought she would be at the top where it was. There were also a couple of trees that grew on the top behind the sign.

"Here we are." Said Jack, "And it's gonna be a clear night so it's perfect for stargazing up here. Perfect for the meteor shower."

They all were amazed by how high and the clear sight of the stars. Mary also sees the horizon and the ocean.

Jack leads them to a platform that runs along the entire word sign. They all sat in front of the word "School", feet dangling off it. The 701 boy's tails hung off the platform as they sat. Voss was perched on Collot's shoulder as he swayed his feet up and down. However, they all sat in a row, 701 in one, the ten humans in the other. Mary wishes she could be next to Legoshi.

"This is incredible Jack." Said Lucy with much glee.

"You're welcome."

"We're so high up." Commented Hannah.

"I can see my house from here." Mason jokingly says.

Mary looked over her shoulder and just past one of the trees, she could see Archeania in the distance.

Jack leans forwards to look down the row at the humans, "Do you guys go stargazing?"

"We do." Replied Mary, "I have forgotten about when we used to go stargazing at the back of the palace. There would be a campfire and dad would allow us to do a small camping."

"Yes... I have forgotten about that. Those times were so much fun." Susan stretches her arms.

"What did you do?" Asked Miguno.

"We would bring out our sleeping bags, roast some s'mores, uncle Joseph would have set up a telescope on the gazebo nearby." Lucy explained, "But that was primarily for our family reunion. Mine, Susan's, and Mary's other family from our non Dragonheart side would come over. It's been a couple of years since we last had one. I miss it dearly."

"That sounds nice." Commented Jack.

They all looked up at the night sky. All the stars twinkled the night away. It felt like hours just sitting there looking up. It was silent at first but then Jack spoke up.

"I've heard that every time somebody is born, a new star is born in the sky for them. It's called their Guardian Star."

"Which one is mine?" Asked Miguno

"Eh... I'm not sure, but... They say that only you can make your star shine. In that case, you gotta find it yourself."

Miguno turns to Hector, "Don't take him seriously."

"Hey, Jack." Durham turns to him.

"Huh?"

"Don't try to distract us with that story. There hasn't been a single shooting star. You said this was supposed to be a once in a lifetime show!"

"I already got it." Jack assured him, "Hmm... that's weird, we should be able to see them by now..."

"Well I think it's gonna be a wonderful sight." Commented Lucy.

Jack leans forward to look at her, "Thank you."

"Achoo!" Voss sneezed.

"Gesundheit." Replied Jacob.

"It's kinda cold, wanna go?" Asked Legoshi.

"Eh, wait a minute!" Jack stood up, "I can go grab a telescope from our room!"

"What's the big deal?" Asked Durham

"Just wait here!" Jack assured them before running off to get it.

Legoshi looked back at the night sky, unsure which star was his, 'My star is...'

Mary looks over at him, and decides to go sit in Jack's spot until he returns.

"Hey." Mary sits down.

"Hey." Legoshi greets her.

Mary looks up at the night sky, "Beautiful night is it?"

Legoshi looked down at her, and with the night sky in the background it was a perfect sight.

"Yes. Which star is yours?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure." Says Mary, "But I'll find it, one day."

Legoshi returned to the night sky, the stars continued to dazzle them all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack retrieved his telescope from his dorm room and was quickly returning to where the others were. It was dark inside the school. Only the air coming through the vents was the only thing that could be heard. Jack continued quietly through the school until he heard something. 

He turned around and walked back to the hallway he passed. Until he hears something rolling towards him. Looking down at his feet he sees a juice can. He picks it up and on the can it says "For Tem".

Jack realized where he was. He is by Tem's memorial. Outside of lecture hall 2 where he tied. Nervously, Jack approached the memorial, there were a couple of items on the ground and Tem's picture. 

But the door to the lecture hall was cracked open. Then suddenly, a large eye appeared.

 Jack jumped at the sight, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Then the eyes moved away and suddenly more eyes appeared. They were moving all over in the gap of the door. Jack immediately dropped the can and telescope before running away terrified.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back on the roof, everyone seemed to be waiting for Jack to return.

"What's taking him so long?" Groaned Durham, "Doesn't he know it's getting cold up here?"

"He'll come, we just have to be patient." Assured Mary.

Just then the door to the roof swings open with a bang, startling them all. They turned to see Jack running towards them, he looked terrified.

"What happened Jack?" Asked Durham.

"There was... there's something in the school! I saw a couple of giant eyes moving in the dark on the 4th floor! I dropped my telescope!" Jack was panting.

Mary got up to comfort him, "Where did you drop it?"

"On the 4th floor, near the storage closet near lecture hall 2."

"I'll go get it." Mary walked to the door.

"Wait! No! Don't go by yourself!" Jack rushed to her.

Everyone at this point got off the platform and gathered by the trees.

"I'll go with her." Said Jacob.

"And me." Said Susan.

The three humans left the roof as Lucy walked over to Jack, and comforted him.

They descended the dark staircase until they reached the 4th floor.

"It's dark." Commented Susan as she pulled out her phone to use the flashlight.

They walked down the hall until they reached lecture hall 2. Mary noticed on the wall to her right was a small bulletin board that had the school newspaper on it. It was about Louis's disappearance. When they walked closer, Mary realized that they were at Tem's memorial.

"There's Jack's telescope." Jacob points at it.

Mary reaches down and picks it up, but also sees the can of juice. She reaches down for it and picks it up.

"What is it?" Asked Susan.

"It's a can of juice." Replied Mary.

She then walked to Tem's picture and set it down. But Mary noticed that the door into the lecture room was opened a bit. And that the security tape that once went across the door was broken.

'That's odd...'

"Let's get back to the others." Jacob motions Mary back.

They walked back to the roof with a telescope in hand.

"Here you go, Jack." Mary hands him his telescope.

"Thank you."

"So what should we do now?" Asked Bianca.

"I don't think the shooting stars are happening tonight." Said Durham.

"Yeah, and I'm kinda cold." Said Sarah.

They all left the roof and returned to the dorms.

"I still had a good day." Said Lucy, "We got to hangout before school started."

"True." Collot agreed.

"There's always next time."

Jack nods to her.

"Anyways, goodnight guys." Waved Maddie as the girls and boys separated at the dorms.

"Good night." They all said to one another before entering boys and girls dorms.

Mary looks back at Legoshi before entering. Both looked at one another.

Mary smiles at him, "Good night, Legoshi." Before entering the dorm building.

Legoshi's tail wagged a bit, "Good night."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And done! I am happy to have completed this, I enjoyed writing this. I'm happy that we're finally at where season 2 began so I can follow along. It is good that the bridge was named since I was tired of calling it "The bridge.", thank you Kelson205 for helping name the bridge. Very appreciated. Hopefully you all caught the reference I put in, and it's not the movie. It was a certain type of plant. And I can confirm that it takes place in the same universe. Also I got exciting news. On July 1st, there will be an anime expo, and Beastars season 3 will appear. I am excited since it's been 9 months since we last got any official news of it. We did get small news but nothing big. And we're approaching the year mark since that announcement. Will we get a teaser, or some art to share, or even the release date? Who knows but I have my fingers crossed for it. Hope you all enjoyed reading this, don't forget to smash the vote button and comment below to show support for the story. And I'll see you in Chapter 7!😁💙💛
