"Unhappy!" The spiteful and highly irrated voice of Rosa echoed throughout the girl's restroom. "I do not like it when I am unhappy!" Rosa was in the midst of changing her clothes within the bathroom stall while doing so. After Rosa fell into the puddle, her entorage had quickly kicked into action, helping her recover and moving her indoors, her uniform all wet. Well, they were only somewhat wet, but they were as good as ruined to Rosa. Luckily, everybody was too busy taking "paparazzi pictures" of the twins to pay close attention to her. On the way inside, Rosa managed to catch the sight of Lala and brought her with them. Lala was the fifth member of their group after all, as difficult as it was to possibly imagine her getting along with Rosa.

So there Rosa and her entourage was, retreated to the girls restroom. Erin was standing outside in order to not allow anybody else in, as this restroom was reserved in the name of Rosa's divine right, at least for this moment. Rosa was in one of the stalls, unddressing all the parts of her uniform that had gotten dirty when she had fallen and pushing them to the adjacent stall, neatly folded. In there, It was not much of a surprise for Lala to find herself inside one of the stalls that was closest to Rosa's. She at least managed to find them amidst that crowd, though it was not in the most pleasant of situations. As a result of that, she was now also doing the same thing, being ordered to switch uniforms with Rosa. "It will be fine, Rosa-chan." Lala noted while removing her clothes in an orderly fashion and making sure that it was neatly present. "I''m sure they didn't mean it." Her tone held a sincere and encouraging tone, while sensing that Rosa was not really going to calm down anytime soon even how much she toned down what occurred. In the end, Rosa does have the right to be irritated, so she was allowing herself to at least ease that bubbling annoyance by removing a mark of that incident which was the wet and dirty uniform. The whole time, Rosa was complaining aloud, trying to vent out some anger. Patiently, Lala listened to Rosa's complaints while changing into the stained uniform. It was a good thing also to air out one's troubles, as said by her father. It puts everything into a perspective.

"Ugh, that little runt," she ranted, "has the gall to push into me? What a little upstart. Thinks he can ruin my beautiful uniform while he rolls around in the nude! My beautiful phone too!" Indeed, when she fell, the BluScreen had flown out of her hands and short-circuited in the water. It was just a clear plastic screen now.

"Hey, Rosie," Tomoe called from outside the stall, "Somebody just sent me an image of his brother's butt! He's got Batman underwear! Why the heck were they both stripping anyway?"[b] The three other girls, Akako, Tomoe and Lyndis were waiting outside the stalls, all looking at texts and images on the unfolded screen of Tomoe's phone.

[b]"It said, BATMAN BITCH on it. I think I like this kid," Lyn recalling the boys trousers. Oddly that's the most notable things she remembers from the whole fiasco "But Rosa, things aren't as bad as you think. Two boys in there underwear took all the attention from you," she continued in hopes to cheer her up, "we're the only ones who saw you fall." That was far from true, as far as Rosa could recall. All the attention was on her, at least for a moment. There was no way people didn't pay attention to such an unflattering moment on Rosa's part. She'd never fallen before, after all. It made Rosa feel so angry inside, or at least that was how she could cover up her shame in being dishonored.

"Well at least they don't have any pic---," A childlike ringtone started to sound. "We are living our lives~Abound with so much information," she continued to sing Persona 4's theme song along with her phone. "I've got a New In-Com-Ing Message!" she said as if she's an announcer. She pulled her phone out, "Hmm, it's not from a number I know...it's a mass text. Must be a random student." She moved her index finger on the phone and opened up the mesage. She paused for a brief moment. "Well Rosa, I stand corrected. Hey girls look at this!" she held out her phone to them. The two of Akako and Tomoe simultaneously 'Ohh-ed'. The content on the phone only consisted of two images a brief text. The first picture was the moment when Ieharu pushed over Rosa and the second was Rosa sitting in shame on the ground wet. The rest of message said...Lyn read it out loud, "Oh look, the Alpha Bitch Rosa, taking a dip in all of her elegance."

Somehow, Lala could feel that the fire deep inside Rosa would further be ignited at this point. She was not able to see what Lyndis was commenting about, but she does not need to sense that Rosa was in a steady increase of her displeasure. Lyndis' words or actually reading the statement was wnough to clarify her assessment. Really, it woud be helpful if Lyndis could learn to feint at times like these, but she does know the girl meant no harm, just stating the truth. "Rosa-chan, is everything fine with the uniform now?" She tried to change the subject to another, although she was pretty sure it won't be that effective. Still, she could try, right? Rosa didn't answer, however. In any case, she was now finished with her change of clothes. It was without doubt still wet and rather dirty, but she could manage it for now. There would be a spare of clothes at her club room later to pick up.

"Those punks," Erin grumbled from outside the restroom, "Gimme the word, Rosa, and I'll knuckl'em! 'Specially that kid Ieharu!" Rosa emerged from the changeroom, eyes closed and her composure strong. She appeared to be much calmer now, although nowhere near happy. She also looked much cleaner, of course. Lala's clothes fit her very well, or at least as far as any outside observer could tell. She looked toward the girls and their transparent screens, where she could easily see the picture of her pitiful appearance on the ground, especially on Tomoe's large screen. Tomoe immediately switched to a picture of both the twins in different stages of undress, apparently sharing their clothes. The girls looked nervously at Rosa. Rosa didn't change her expression, she just merely leaned on the wall.

Lala exited her stall as well, revealing that her earlier prim and clean uniform was now the opposite of it. One could say, there was not much of a difference in the fit except probably around the chest area. It was a bit tight. Beside that, the other thing that's getting tight around here is the atmosphere. Her eyes glanced towards Rosa and then back to the others. The eerie silence was like hands wrapped around her neck, suffocating her ever so slowly, because without a hinge of doubt, she could feel the ravaging anger, but also another feeling underneath, something she was familiar with. Through it, she remained still and soon, Rosa talked, breaking that smothering emptiness of the lull.

"I wanna hear it," Rosa ordered, "I wanna know what happened, and what's going on. I wanna hear about them, the... twins. I want names, and I wanna know where they are right now." Rosa and her group didn't stick around to see everything after all. Altogether, the girls described to her exactly what happened after they retreated, at least according to both what they themselves had seen and what they've been told through text. Akako actually had a whole video recording of the whole thing, from the beginning of the fight to when the twins left the scene, which the girls, including Erin, watched bits and pieces of, skipping through parts to save time. They definitely excluded the bit where Rosa fell from the parts they watched. Rosa exhaled and closed her eyes in order to think. The girls watched her patiently as they waited for her judgement.

"Indeed, Akako," Rosa told the blonde girl next to her, referring to a question asked much earlier, "It really does look like a disruption of the peace of the school." Rosa seemed to have recovered her composure completely, almost smirking as she spoke. "Of course, we all know what we do with first-year little upstarts that think they can control us through violence. Isn't that right, Akako? How's your boyfriend doing, by the way?"[/color] Rosa looked toward the girl. Akako grinned visibly.

"Oh, he's been really restless as of late," Akako explained, "I guess all that stress from being the student head of the Martial Arts Appreciation club must be getting to him. He says he and the club really wish they could put to use some of the new techniques they've been learning. Honestly, I don't really know what's so interesting about fighting... unless you're interested, Miss Rosa." The two blonde girls appeared to have some sort of an agreement between them.

"Why, I am quite interested," Rosa responded enthusiastically, as if she were reading off of a script, "Why don't you tell your boyfriend and his club that there just happens to be the perfect opponents for them to try out their new moves against? After school, at the parking lot way in the back. We could watch and see how amazing the Martial Arts Appreciate club really is in action." Rosa straightened herself up and addressed the rest of her circle. "Girls, take notes, and make sure everybody hears of this. I want everybody to see these kids humiliated for how truly insignificant they really are. In the meantime, I want to know as much about those brothers, Ieyoshi and Ieharu, as possibly. Give me names, family, friends, enemies, connections, reputations, rumors, stories, clubs, hobbies, schedules, fears, peeves, romantic interests, economic status, possessions, test marks, underwear brands and their flaws! I want it all!"

There it goes. Lala closed her eyes momentarily and opened them knowing that this was not going to end well, one way or another. Her red eyes landed on Rosa and somehow, she felt the need to tell this feeling of hers. There was that sense that perhaps it would be for the best that this event with the Sawada Twins be ignored. "Ah... Rosa-Chan, I thi--", but before she could complete her sentence, Lyndis spoke with her own personal cheer.

It sounded pretty fun to Lyndis. She looked forward into meeting the now infamous underwear twins. "I can't wait to do this!" she cheered.

Ah yes, Lala could not help but feel she was fighting a losing battle here. Hopefully, her feelings this time won't be spot on, but that was hard to be bright-eyed for. Releasing a soft sigh, she had a smile on her face, alighting her features. "Let's do our best on this one, okay?"

"And one more thing," Rosa declared, "I want someone to buy boquettes for them. They'll need them for their desks tommorrow!"
